been the weapons used by unknown
assassins in an attempt to destroy
the family Of P. Behrants today.
Behrants' home is practically in
ruins, three of his children are dy-
ing Of poison, another child is
dead
Behrants escaped with his life
but was suffering from the effects
of poison. Behrants' home was dis
covered afire early this morning.
Neighbors who responded to the
alarm found Behrants, clad in his
night clothes, running about the
yard, apparently crazed from pain.
Rescuers who entered the burning
home found the body of Mrs.
Behrants. In her arms was the
dead body of her child. Neither had
been touched by the flames.
Three other children were found
In the bedroom unconscious and
dying. Investigation by the au-
thorities is under way. Behrants de-
clared he could not imagine the mo-
tive for the supposed crime.

Second addition to Lidgerwood, East
Kenwood and other additions in
that locality that draw their water
from the Jones company were
turned away empty handed, with no
favorable response to their suppli-
cation for relief from an autocratic
corporation, compared with which
the Standard Oil Co. is mild in it's
manner.
The suffering due to the frozen
service pipes, which precipitated
the present controversy, is but one
of many abuses that the consumers
of the Jones water system have had
to put up with. Last summer, by
the means of extensive fines, the
people were either cut off from
water or forced to contribute a
large sum to the company's Golfers
for alleged violations of the rules.
1t is charged freely that Arthur
ID. Jones' agents have strong in
fluence at the city hall. and that so
long as it holds sway the people Of
Cannondale can either move out Or
accept such treatment as the Jones
monopoly cares to hand them.
Petition after petition have been
filed at the city hall asking the city
to lay mains into this district. in
opposition to the Jones service, but
thus far these petitions continue to
be buried in the files of the water
department.

In the decision of the board Of
health, taken on the advice of the
corporation counsel, in the Cannon
dale water supply complaint, the
city of Spokane has confessed to be-
ing unable to regulate the condl-
tions under which water is served
by a corporation in a large section
of the city.
With the right of a private cor
poration to dispense the greatest
necessity of life, after air, In any
manner that it pleases, there is no
telling where the encroachments
of the corporations on the rights OF
the people of Spokane will cease.
The CannOdale water matter
came before the board of health
yesterday on a complaint that
nearly one-half of the people of that
section were without water because
of the frozen service pipes belong
ing to the company. Public health
demanded that there be water In
the homes to preserve the first ele-
ments of a sanitary condition OF liv-
ing, and the consumers of the Jones
water company naturally appealed
to the city health authorities for re-
lief.
A report of the chief sanitary in
spector, John Henderson. was be-
fore the health board, telling of the
conditions as he had found them,
with recommendations that some

CITY USING THE.
HATED LABOR
AGENTS
WHILE MAINTAINING A FREE
BUREAU OF ITS OWN AN
ORDER is PLACED WITH !
PAID AGENCIES At
81 PER MAN.

After an investigation of the or
der placed by one of his SUBJ
ordinates with local employment
agencies for carpenters for the
Monroe street bridge, City Engineer
Ralston today said that he had
found that not to exceed four men
had been hired from this source. He
ascribes the placing the order to a
desire to get men in hurry fol-
lowing the recent labor trouble at
the bridge.
An order was placed with the
Macho and Red Cross employment
agencies, it is learned, for carpen-
ters at 81 per day, each man hired
to pay the labor agents 81 for the
job AS the scale for carpenters is
$3.50 in Spokane, there evidently
were not many takers, as only four
men were willing to work under
the scale and pay the $4 fee in addi-
ton.
The men were hired by the en-
ploment agents and told to report
to Assistant Engineer F. d. Green
and Foreman of Construction p.
Heaney, who have charge of the
bridge work.
There was desire at the engi-
neer's office today to minimize the
matter, saying that it was due to a
desire to further the work, rather
than play into the hands of the en-
ployment men.
Engineer Ralston said: I'VE try
to employ only Spokane men and
preferably heads Of families. A
record of every mans application
is kept, and if he is not what he
purports to be We want to know 1t.
This office wants to favor home
labor on all public undertakings,
and if this is not done it Is through
some error for which we are not
accountable at the time"
