The County Central Committee
Meets and Is Satisfied with
Explanations of Swain and
of Mathews.
THEY ENTERED RACE
AFTER LEGAL ADVICE
Mathews States He Possesses
Property Left to Him by
Wife-SWain Said to Fulfill
Requirements.

Although attorneys seem to +, d.
vided in regard to the eligibility of
Thomas Frank Swain and William
Mathews, candidates for county asses
sor, these two will continue in the
race and will take the office in case
either Of them is nominated and elect
ed. A surprise was sprung yesterday
when it was stated that the law re-
Ouircd that assessors had to be resi-
dent freeholders four years prior to
their election. and it was claimed that
neither of the above two fulfilled this
requirement.
The Wayne county central commit
tee was given sufficient proof of the
eligibility of these two men, at a
meeting of several of the members
yesterday, and it was decided. after
consultation with the two candidates.
to continue their names on the ticket.
A Statement is Made.
One of the committeeman stated to-
day that the two candidates told him
they had advised attorneys before
they announced their candidacy. At
torneys seemed to be satisfied with
the candidates qualifications, and ad-
vised them from a legal standpoint to
make the race. Although Mr.. Swain
could not be found today, his friends
stated that he is in the race for all
it is worth.
The books in county officials Off
Ces do not show that either Mr. Math-
ews or Mr.. Swain own property in
their own name. Mr.. Swain Is said
to own property jointly with a men,
Der of his family. Mr.. Mathews. who
lives in Centerville, visited this office
this morning and stated that he has
possessed property for the required
number of years. Earlier in his life,
he purchased property in Centerville
and placed it in his wife's name. Up
on her death, the property reverted
back to him. but he did not make out
a transfer and the records show that
it is still in Mrs. Mathews name.
The amount Of property does not
make any difference. If no more
property than a cemetery lot is pos
sessed. it makes the owner a freehold
er in the terms of the law.
What Mathews Says.
Mr.. Mathews addresses the follow
ing communication to the Republican
voters as regards his qualifications
and eligibility:
To the Republican Voters Of Wayne
County:
Statements have been published and
otherwise circulated to the effect that
am not eligible to the office of
County Assessor. for which 1 am now
candidate at our primary election to
be held next Monday. l do not know
the source from which such statements
originated, nor whether or not they
were started for the purpose of un-
Justly injuring me as candidate, but
do know that the same are wholly
false. and earnestly ask my friends to
remain with ME to the end
II I were not qualified and eligible
to hold this office, I would not be a
candidate therefor

F Athens, Feb. "a Turkish fleet is
steaming at full speed toward Crete,

acute and perilously near the break

are in readiness to be hurled into the
plain of Larissa at a moments notice
the Third Corps whose station is Sa-
lonica, and the army of Epirus. These
have been held under arms on the from
tier for some time.
Not iE years have the war clouds
that hover over the Balkans been so
black as they are today. Covertly or
openly, every foreign office in Europe
is taking hand in the fight of Turkey
to retain her hold in Crete. and the
sending of Cretan delegates to the
Greek national ssembly-tantamou
to a declaration of war from the Turk
ish viewpoint-would Immediately in
volve the continent and Great Britain
in game of war and politics. The re-

Indianapolis. Feb 3.-Rudolph G..
Leeds, prominent young financier
and publisher of the Richmond Palla-
dium, this afternoon announced that
he had completed a deal whereby he
comes into possession of the Indiana
polls Sun. The consideration is not
known. Willis S. Thompson. who has
been the publisher of the Sun, turned
over the property to Mr.. Leeds this af-
ternOOn.
BY this deal Mr.. Leeds comes into
possession of a state organ and what
has always been regarded as an en-
ceptionally good newspaper plant. In
recent years the Sun has degenerated
much below it's former standard and
has been run along sensational lines.
Statement by Leeds.
Mr.. Leeds states that he will at
once begin to build up the paper and
restore it to its former standard. The
sensationalism will be eliminated and
the paper conducted on a conserva-
tive basis.
Indianapolis is one of the few cities
of its size in the United States that
only has three newspapers. one in the
morning field and two in the evening
field
With the Sun placed on a substan-
tial basis again. local newspaper men
have contended. there is no reason
why, because of the conditions exist
ing, it should not be one of the most
valuable plants in the middle west.
The Sun will be continued as an af-
ternoon paper. issued six days week.

County Board of Commission
ers and the Three Loca!
Newspapers Are at the
Back of the Movement.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS
HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
Action Has Been Taken as a
Result of Charges of Mis-
management Made in Arti-
Gle in Evening Item.

An Investigation instituted by the
board of county commissioners and at
its request, the Evening item. the
Morning News. and the Palladium and
Sun-Telegram, of the conditions exist
ing now and in the past at the county
inflrmary will be undertaken.
This action was decided on this after
noon at meeting held by the commits
sioners and representatives of the
three newspapers held at the Palla-
dunn office. 1t Was decided that the
investigating board should consist of
three members. two appointed by the
newspapers and one by the county
board. The three newspapers selected
Attorneys John L. Rupe and Wilfred
Jessup and the commissioners named
George Eggemeyer.
Cause Of the Probe.
The proposed investigation is the
result of charges recently made in the
Item against the management of the
infirmary, which charges reflected pri-
marily on Robert Beeson. county
commissioner. and indirectly On the
othOi t"o
1t is proposed to make the investiga-
tion a most complete one and the
probers will delve into the most min
ute details. The local newspapers are
interested in the investigation solely
as representatives of the taxpayers.
who are vitally interested for the rea-
son that if conditions at the infirmary
are not satisfactory they will demand
that they be rectified.
Mr.. Beeson, in particular. is effected
by the charges made by the Item. He is
now a candidate for nomination as
commissioner, and the election will be
held Monday. He wants immediate
action taken by the investigators SO
that the public can be in full posses
sion of the facts in the case before the
primary is held. Mr.. Beeson bears the
article printed in the Item
Start Work Tomorrow.
The three investigators will meet
this afternoon and will hear the argu
ments in the case offered by those most
vitally interested, the commissioners
and the Evening Item. After the case
has been outlined il is probable that
the investigating committee will go Il
the fnfirmary early tomorrow morning
and begin its work. How long this vii
take will take would difficult to fore
cast. The investigation will be q
public one and all may attend. All ths
local newspapers will have representa-
tives at the committees sessions.
Mr.. Beeson absolutely denies tn,
charges brought against him and ap
pears confident that he can clear him
self.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 90
Uncle Sans postoffice sreats for
eigners much better that it does
the people of the United States.
Parcels post for Americans won't
do; parcels post for foreigners is,
however, another matter. That our
grating express companies do not
do much foreign business is the
main reason.
Now, If you lived in England,
Germany, Australia, or Japan, you
might send a parcel weighing four
pounds six ounces, at II cents a
pound to any place in the United
States, and you can now send the
same package at same price to any
one of those countries.
But If you wanted to send a par
eel, from anywhere in the United
States to any other place in the
United States you would pay 16
cents pound.
And again, a Central American
may send an 11-pound package to
the United States, and have il car
ried all the way from New York to
Chicago, for II cents pound. But
a person in Washington could not
get Uncle Sam to carry an IL
pound parcel even to Baltimore at
any price. There are express COM
panies who carry 11-pound pack
ages from Washington to Balti-
more, you know.
If you really insist upon sending
it by mail you must divide it into
three parcels of four pounds or less
and pay 16 cents pound. Should
it be merchandise not Invisible
into three parcels. send it by ex-
press and pay tribute to the graft
ers.
Now, the strangest thing of it all
is that the United States is making
money on its foreign parcels post
business, even at II cents a pound.

CARD AND LABEL LEAGUE

When considered in the sense of
dealing directly with the question
of wages and hours. the Spokane
Card and Label league is not la
Dor union. But when the indirect
results of its activities upon hours,
wages and working conditions are
studied it must be concluded that
the league is in fact a great labor
union working for the benefit of
every laboring man in the city.
Its first object is to boost for
the home-produced, union-made
product, thus lending a hand in
establishing new industries in Spo-
kane. BY insisting on the union
label the league insures to the pur-
chasers that the goods which are
sold over the counter have not been
produced under inhuman condi-
tons. The union label guarantees
that the article is not the product
of a sweatshop, a factory employ
ing child labor or of an institution
where employees are required to
work excessive hours.
Having been started but four
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-01-29

months ago. the Card and Label
league can hardly be said to have
a history. And yet great deal
has been accomplished in those
months. At the start a committee
comprising w. j. McElvoy, Carl
Evans. E. E. Schubert. Ida Holmes
and Anna Beshara was appointed
by the Central Labor council to
start the new league.
The organization was a winner
from the start, although a great
deal of hard work was done by the
members of the committee. Now
the league is fully organized, hav-
ing the affiliation of practically
every union which carries the un-
ion label on it's product.
The greatest accomplishment Of
the league up to this time has been
to keep the local merchants in
formed concerning goods produced
under sweatshop conditions. Large
orders from firms which pursue un-
fair labor tactics have been
"queered" through the efforts of
the league.

THE DAY IN
THE MARKETS

While some of the cheaper stocks
have shown quite an improvement,
there were few developments during
the week to change prices material
ly. The Idora is reported looking
better, with a considerable amount
of shipping ore being taken out. A
deal has been pending for the sale
of the Caledonia to the Federal Min
ing 4 Smelling Co. around $3.50 per
share. Should this materializc it
will have very beneficial effect
on the Wardner district. The lead
ing dividend payers are still very
low and decidedly inactive. and be-
fore any permanent return to a busy
market and higher prices the metals
must sell on Il higher basis.
