FAVOR
BOND ISSUE
VOTE FOR 100000 FOR PARKS
TURN DOWN SUCCESS
TONS AS TO RE-
sTRICTIoNs.

An endorsement of the $1,000
600 issue of bonds for parks and
Fairgrounds and their improvement
was voted by the representatives
of the improvement clubs and civic
organizations, at a meeting held
last night in the assembly rooms
of the chamber of commerce.
Suggestions that certain restrict.
ions be made in connection with
the park bonds were offered by the
North Hill improvement club, the
Kenwood club and the Bolo club,
but these were not accepted
In response to resolution from
the KenwOod club, in opposition
to the use of any portion of the
bond issue for the building of
boulevards, A. w. Jones admitted
that the following out of the park
plan, designed by the Olmstead
Bros, meant the building of boule-
wards from this fund. The park
board has announced that the Ohm
stead plan will be used. The Ken
wood club took the stand that the
boulevards should be built at the
expense of the property owners
benefited.
The North Hill Improvement
club and the Kenwood club wanted
to know in a general way where
the parks were to be located but
this did not meet with approval.
Both clubs entered protest against
the payment of commissions to real
estate men for the purchase of the
land. The Bolo club wanted a
monthly statement of receipts and
disbursements posted over the city
by the park board.
Outside of the objections thus
raised the feeling was strongly in
favor of the bond issue. The Cen
trail Labor council had the matter
! up early in the evening and sent

No matter how much you may
love the girl don't send her a post
card with such a legend as Il love
my wife, but oh, you kid" Even
II your affection is reciprocated,
the girl may have changed her
mind before the card reaches her.
The Jail will be staring you in the
face. This deduction is drawn
from the result of a case just de-
cided in the United States district
court at Jefferson City, Mo-, where
James Schanuth, a young farmer,
was fined SIS and costs for sending
improper matter through the mails.
1t seems that James, a simple
minded son of the soil, was sudden
ly smitten with the charms of Miss
Rua Lauder, who lives at Cedar
City. He thought the admiration
was reciprocal. At any rate, he
sent glowing card to Miss Lau-
der, intimating contempt for mari
tai faithfulness. OF course, Jimmie
wasn't married, and it was only his
idea of a joke. Nevertheless the
only thing that saved him from a
heavy sentence, the judge said, was
that while the sentiment expressed
in the line 81 love my wife, but oh,
you kid" was distinctively bad,
there was nothing illegal about it,
and Jimmie was released with a
fine of S. and costs. The judge
said he was getting off easy, as the
law provides a maximum penalty
of $4,000 or five years in the peni-
Tertiary.
Assistant Postmaster T. ]. Smith,
in an interview last evening, said:
Many obscene postal cards are
stopped in this office every day
and sent to the dead letter office,
where they are confiscated by the
department in Washington, d. c.
'The law provides for a fine, not
to exceed $4,000, or Imprisonment,
or both, in the option of the court.
IF the addresses of such postal
cards would only make complaint,
the government would at once
bring the guilty parties to justice,
as we'll as the sellers of such kind
of literature, which is a menace to
the morals of the entire commu-
nifty. We can do nothing until
cases are brought to our notice"
1t is a we'll known fact that there
are many stores in Spokane where
these obscene post cards can be
purchased--if you have the price
even by strangers in the city. A
few nights ago perfect stranger
in the city went to hotel on Riv-
ers'de and while engaging a room
for the night exhibited a lot of
French made post cards and said

You don't often hear of the pre-
tender to the throne of Great
Britain and Ireland, but there is
one, and according to the rules of
the royal game he is more entitled
to the crown now worn by Edward
VII. than is the son of Queen Vic
toria. The man who should be Ibis
royal highness' of England is the
old Prince Luitpold. regent for the
mad king of Bavaria. He is head of
the Jacobites or Stuartites, as they
are sometimes called, and traces
his ancestry back 221 years to
James H., who was ousted by a
packed parliament and his throne
given to William of Orange.
For more than two centuries the
descendants of James Stuart have
awaited the call to cross the chan
mel and assume the scepter which
jovial King Ed holds. Frequently
there are demonstrations in behalf
of the "legitimist king of Eng
land" but they have never caused
King Ed half as much worry as
failing to meet a pretty actress or
as losing horse at the derby.

SPOKANE WILL
Benefit BY
GIANT MERGER
More and Better Vaudeville
Promised by Big Orpheum
European Deal.

A big theatrical merger which
will mean more and better vaude-
vile for Spokane, and on the Or
pheum circuit in the west, as well
as throughout America, has just
been contaminated, according to
word received by Mr.. Miller, local
Orpheum manager.
Martin Beck, general manager
of the Orpheum circuit of theaters,
accompanied by Mark A. Luescher
of his staff, has returned on the
Lusitania after perfecting the or
ganization in Europe of an inter
national vaudeville circuit which
will encircle the world.
While in London, Mr.. Beck, in
association with Alfred Butt of the
Palace Theater, organized what is
known as the Variety Theater Con
trolling company, which will oper'
ate in conjunction with the Palace
theater in London and the New
A!hambra theater in Glasgow, all
the vaudeville houses formerly
controlled by the Barrasford in
terests, the Gibbons and the De
Frese circuits, including the fol
lowing:
The Hippodrome at Brighton
Liverpool, Leeds, Hill, Birming
ham, Portsmouth, Southend, Mar
gate, Boscombe, Southampton
Manchester, Colchester, Bolton, ST
Helens, Sheffield, Nottingham and
Blackburn; The Alhambra, Paris !;
The Palace, Manchester; The En-,
pire, Wolverhampton; The Opera
House, Tumbridge Wells; The
Grand, Bristol; The Empire, Aber,
deem; The Pavilion, Newcastle-on-
Tyne.
All of the houses of this con-
trolling company will in turn af-
filiate with the vaudeville circuits
in America, including the Orpheum
circuit in the west, the middle west
houses operated by Kohl & Castle
Anderson & Ziegler, Frank Tate
and Herman Fehr, and the United
Booking offices in the east, which
include the circuits of B. F. Keith
Percy G. Williams, F. F. Proctor
s. 2. Poll, Harry Davies, VIM
Hamerstein, NJ Shea, j. j. Moore
and Wilmer & Vincent.
AS the list above shows, this will
bring into direct cooperation with
American vaudeville interests the
leading music halls and hippo
dromes of London, Liverpool, Glas
gov and the provinces of Grea1
Britain and the Alhambra in Paris
With this International circuit
perfected, vaudeville artists can be
given a three years consecutive
contract with single repetition
from one source, and American
vaudeville is certain to encircle
the globe.

HAVE CONFIDENCE
IN MRS. HOUSE
LEADER IN POLICE MATRON
FIGHT REELECTED PRESl.
DENT OF THE WOMAN'S
CLUB.

The faithful and untiring efforts
of Mrs. A. E. House as president of
the Woman's club were rewarded
last night by her reelection to the
post of presiding officer by a vote
that was almost unanimous.
Mrs. House has led in the fight
for police matronS at the city Jail,
and because of her activity in this
movement and the further fact that
she went on the bond of Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn in the recent street
speaking campaign. some women
in sympathy with the city hall tried
to defeat her reelection.
The opposition to Mrs. House was
led by Mrs. j. r. Cassin and Mrs.
Leo Brown, but the count of the
vote showed that Mrs. House re-
ceived so of the Sc votes present.
Mrs. House is honest and fear
less. If she thinks a question is
right she is not afraid to take a
stand even if President Taft led
the opposition. She has done won
ders for the Womans club, and
that the women are appreciative
was demonstrated by the vote of
confidence given last night
Other officers are:
Mrs. Praeger, first vice presi-
dent; Mrs. D. A. Stewart, second;
Mrs. w. G. Gleason, third; Mrs.
Lucy Hall, recording secretary;
Mrs. Rowena Brown, financial sec
rotary; Mrs. A. P. Fassett, treas
urer, and Miss Katie Wetherill, cor
responding secretary.
The trustees were Mrs. Prayer,
