IKE a bombshell.
The startling revelation was almost the
sole topic Of conversation during the day.
At the state house the republican officials
and employees seemed dazed and wandered
up and down the corridors from one office
to another carrying copies Of the World
Herald in their hands and seeking advice
az TO what ought 70 be done or SAID
about IT,
at the headquarters OF the state central
committee conferences were going on all
day behind closed doors but 1t was most
noticeable that there was no information
TO give out and that there was an atm0s-
phere OF profound depression. The general
impression was BARLEY has begun 10
talk" and there was manifest uneasineBs
on the part OF men prominent IN the party,
who led their associates itno secluded
corners and sought an opinion as 70 how
much has he given up?"

cal oensation that has stirred the capital

ARRESTED

On Geographic orders from the
postoffice inspector Of Spokane,
William M. Hobson, formerly post
master of Riparia, Wn., was taken
in custody on charge of embez-
element at The Dalles, Ore, this
morning. The arrest was made by
Sheriff. Crisman.
According to information secured
from the local Dostoffice au-
thorities, Hobson abscounded from
Riparia, April %, with something
like 5000 of government money in
his possession and was travelling
with his family when the capture
was made. On being arrested, Hob
son gave his name as John War
mouth and denied at first that he
was the man for whom the United
States authorities were searching.
Hobson was appointed as post
master of Riparia only last August.
The discovery of the shortage in
his account with the government
was not discovered till he was well
out of the city.

dent Taft, the senate regulars to.
day began a struggle to save such
remnants Of the Taft-EIkIns rail.
road regulation bills as they can
force to passage.
That the bill as finally passed
will be very different from the one
originally planned by the chief ex-
ecutive, is admitted generally today.
Senate regulars have agreed to
abandon entirely provisions and
sections to which the insurgents
object and for which they offered
substitutes and amendments.
When the bill has finally passed
the senate there is danger that 1t
will lose still other of its provisions
In conference, as 1t now seems very
probable, according to republican
leaders, that the senate bill and
house bill will be very different.
The senate regulars, in order to
avert complete surrender to the in
surgents, had agreed to give up the
section permitting traffic agree
ments, and the section allowing
mergers. The insurgents have
fought both these sections and the
regulars decided to eliminate them
entirely, rather than permit the bill
to be killed or the provisions so
changed that they will incorporate
the ideas of the insurgents. In the
section providing for the super
vision Of railroad stocks and bonds
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion may also be dropped by the
regulars.

time when they were supposed to
be out on their beats. that the said
officers were on very friendly

1t can be shown that some lodg-
ing houses are running as notorious
houses and are never bothered by
the police, while others, which rent
rooms only, are continually bounded
on the least provocation.
1t can be shown that there is a
gross abuse Of the privilege of fix.

through the practice of having de,
