WOMEN WIN
FIGHT FOR
3 NATIONS

Of course, there VIII be a police
ratron-not one, but three.
A city council that would have re.
sisted the stirring pleas made be-
fore it last night by the ladies OF
the Woman's club would have been
1ard-hearted indeed. And further.
more, the women, through their
spokesman, Mrs. p. p. Stafford,
said they had the "dope" that indi.
Gated the need of the matron and
would spring it unless the council
granted the request for the matron.
Furthermore, Mrs. Stafford told
the city council what she thought
Of their body as a whole, called
them lot of turncoats, change-of,
front men, and said that she had
heard that some of them wore a
dollar sign, back of which was the
Washington Water Power company,
the Spokesman-Review and other
forces.
She chided the councilmen for be-
ing led around by the nose by Chief
of Police Sullivan, and asked:
"Who is this man Sullivan, any
way, that you have to consult his
wishes in preference to what Is
wanted by thousands of taxpay-
ers?"
Mrs. Stafford ripped up the police
department from stem to stern, and
said that she had learned from I'M
questioned sources that women
prisoners were mistreated within
the walls of the Jail, and it was not
from the |. w. WIS, either.

conspiracy in the morning for say
ing this, but | am not afraid" she
remarked.

JUDGE
WANTS MORE
INFORMATION

Judge V. s. Reiter of the Lake SUI
perior court has written to the old
soldiers home at Milwaukee, Wis, to
learn something more of the habits
and character of William Horn. who
is charged with a number of bur-
glaries in Hammond
Horn is said to have told the judge
that he did not know why he had act
ed as he did in Hammond. He said
that while he had been a drinking man
all of his life that he had never beer
drunk and that he was not drunk al
the time he committed the thefts
He says that ,he cannot account fol
his conduct excepting on the theory
that some one gave him some knockout
drops and that he committed the thefts
when he was not in his right mind
The judge thought enough of his
story to write to the old soldiers home
at Milwaukee, and If good report is
received he will probably deal lightly
with the old soldier.

MAY HAVE
COMPETITION
Especial to THE TIAEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Nov. 17.-There
are prospects of the Western Union
having competition in Indiana Harbor
and East Chicago. The Postal Tele-
graph company is Investigating the
situation and may open up offices in
the Twin Cities.
This came out at the meeting last
night of the Commercial Club of Indl-
ana Harbor and East Chicago, when c.
E. Fowler. as chairman of the trans
portation committee. reported that he
had received a communication from the
Postal people to the above effect
Mr.. Fowler had correspondence with
both the Western Union and the POST
al people. but the former was one
sided correspondence. The Western
Union did not do Mr.. Fowler the honor
to even reply to his letter, while the
Postal people seemed very much inter-
ested. explained that the idea of estab-
fishing an office in East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor had been presented to
them, but that they would gladly make
inquiries looking to the establishment
of an office, if the business likely to
accrue would seem to warrant it.
All of the manufacturers to whom
Mr.. Fowler has written have shown a
lively interest in the matter, and it
seems likely that something will come
of the correspondence.
The people here have long been dis
satisfied with the meagre service af-
forded by the Western Union people
and would welcome any change that
seems to promise Improvement. Es-
pecially at Indiana Harbor does the
dissatis faction prevail, there being
more business here, and the Western
Union maintaining only railway OPP
