Prize Burglar
Gets a Window
Most Unique Theft Reported in Ten
Years is that of Window
Casing.

The prize burglary Of ten years, since
that Of a church cupola, was the one that
occurred Sunday night in the disappear
ance of an entire front window. Alto
Garsotto, sos North Eighteenth street. who
owns the house at sos North Eighteenth
street reports that the front window,
sash and all. have been stolen, 1t appears
that the burglars ripped the casing com
pletely out Of the wall during the night
time. The task must have been stupen-
dous one. unless the burglar had helpers,
and he must have used more effective
tools than a jimmy.

Ho.u L. Frank Boyd
Destroyed a City's Blight

l.. Frank Boyd, a political
mummy whose name has been res
directed from the musty archives,
tells what close observer he was
of municipal conditions and how
great and good ex-Chief Sullivan
was, in a local paper.
Among the many acts that made
his administration memorable was
his noted interview on the dande-
lion and how to destroy it, in which
he said that a special instrument
should be used to dig the dandelion
out yb he roots and then kerosene
should be poured in the hole, and by
this method, in time, the terrible
yellow scourge that bliEhted the
city's growth would be checked, if
not eradicated. .
And then, when President Roose-
welt came to Spokane, it was on the
program that the Athletic club
building and the Masonic temple
should be dedicated by the presi.
dent. He was to throw the first

10000 TRANSFERS
MAY STRIKE

" NEW YORK, Nov. A general
strike of transfers called in SYM
patty with the drivers for the ex-
press companies, is expected to re-
suit from the mass, meeting of the
the teamsters' unions scheduled for
this afternoon. In labor circles it
is predicted that 10000 men will
be called out and that the traffic
of New York city will come to a
standstill.
The expected strike follows a
long conference held late yester-
day between representatives. of the
unions and the express companies.
The latter fatty refused to con-
slider the proposition of the recog-
milton of the unions on any consid-
GRAFTON. 1t was on this matter that
the split came.

shovelful of earth for these two
buildings. Boyd either forgot where
the Athletic club was to be built or
me and Teddy" being in the same
carriage, his head was elated be-
yond the city's limits, so that, to
the disappointment of the admiring
crowds, the Athletic spade was
never used, and the president and
Boyd failed to materilize. One Of
the prominent athletic sprinters
sprinted to catch the carriage and
bring it back, but he was out
sprinted, and so the Athletic club
was without a dedicator.
1t is also recalled that the mayor
showed some real strong reasons
why Spokane should not help Hep
pener, Ore, during the flood-be-
cause Portland received more in
the the benefits of the trade.
If l.. Frank ever observed any
thing of weight, that anybody
knows about, the columns of The
Press are open for him to express
an opinion upon the subject.

with round gravel instead of crush
ed rock, as called for in the speci-
fications, and this means that the
pavement will not be nearly as DUR
able as if the crushed rock were
used.
With crushed rock in the bind
er" course, the asphaltum would
have something to grip and hold,
so that the wear and tear on the
pavement would come only on the
rock binder and not on the asphalt
tum itself, while with the gravel,
such as is said to be used, the as
phaltum will soon be torn from the
smooth round stones, and the pave
ment will become disintegrated.
Another cause of complaint, is de-
clared by the protestants to be the
use of second class brick in the
cutters at the sides of the streets.
All the brick used in this kind
OF work is purchased from the
Denny-Renton Brick & Clay COM
pany of Seattle, and this company
manufacturers two grades of this
brick.
The kind called for in the speci-
fications costs $31 per thousand f..
o. b. in Spokane, while the kind
which Contractor J. F. Hill is said
to be using costs but $27 per thous-
and on board the cars here. mere
are several hundred thousand of
these bricks being laid here, and
the saving of 81 per thousand by
using second class brick means
that the contractor pockets just
that much clear profit, while the
people pay for something they do
not get.

AMES DENOUNCES PAYNE;
STARTLES C0NGRESSMEN
SoIon Charges Chairman of Ways
and Means Committee Buried
Canadian Resolution

WASHINGTON, May 20.-A sensation
was sprung unexpectedly in the house
late today by Representative Butler
Ames, a Republican member from Mas
sachusetts, when he obtained the floor
for five minutes and proceeded to read a
series of letters that had passed between
himself and Representative Serene
Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Republican
floor leader. He scored Mr.. Payne in
strong language.
The letters concerned a resolution
introduced in the house March 81, by
Mr.. Ames, advocating that negotia-
tions be opened with Canada to es-
tablish closer commercial relations
with that country.
The resolution was referred to the
ways and means committee and the
author charged Mr.. Payne refused to
allow the committee to consider it,
although he (Ames) presented a petit
tion favoring it signed by n Republi-
can members.
"On three separate days approached
your august person and asked verbally
and politely for a hearing by your
committee on my resolution, - said Mr..
AmeS in one letter. ITO my first re-
quest you arrogantly insisted that 'as
far as you could find out, no one want
ed the resolution and it was not good
political sense.
Believing your lack of courtesy was
excusable and you were unable to un-
derstand or appreciate that many Re-
publican members of the house not
only wanted the resolution adopted,
but who, not yet having lost all touch
with the present desires of the party
and the country generally did believe
the resolution to be good political
sense I went to the unusual labor OF
circulating a petition which inclose.' y
MANY REPUBLICANS SIGN
Continuing, the letter said the petit
tion was signed by seventy-seven Re-
publican MEMBERS but Mr.. Payne had
counted that it's author had seen a
letter dictated in his presence by Pres
ident Taft and addressed to Mr.. Payne
favoring the resolution.
Mr. Payne replied, saying: 1.-THE fact
that seventy-seven men have signed
your petition does not change the sit
uation in regard to your resolution"
After expressing surprise that the pc
tition nf seVenty-seVen Republican
members should be disregarded, Mr.
Ames' letter continued:
"Your whole attitude has SO lacked in
common courtesy and a proper sense OF
proportion | feel forced to make this
written protest. Your letter, if freely
translated; should be interpreted to
read: The desires of many Republican
members and the public be damned.
When Mr.. Ames had concluded Mr..
Payne said he had informed Mr.. Ames
he believed the president should take
UP the Canadian negotiations, and after
that it would be time for congress to
act. Continuing, he said
"Now, 1 stated that to the gentleman,
not with my hat in my hand, but as
politely and suavely as l could. did
not exhibit any contempt of the gentle
man, who, l understand, is TO be the
next, senator from Massachusetts, if he
gets votes enough. l did not do any
thing of that kind, but I treated him
kindly"
