SPOKANE WOMEN OPPOSED
TO SERVING ON JURY

Ten women drawn for jury duty at
the coming term of the Spokane coun-
ty superior court declared they will not
serve unless compelled to do so by
law. Mrs. Sarah Witherell, the first
woman drawn for the venire, voleed
the sentiments of her sisters in SAYING
that while women should use their
franchise in voting for good govern
ment she believes jury duty is mans
work. 81 voted because ! am tax
payer,D she added "and because !
had the right to vote. = Mrs Flora r.
Atchison said: "There are certain
eases where it is all right for woman
TO serve on a jury, but they are seat
tered. ! will not serve If called. My
home is the place for me. | am not an
advocate of the equal suffrage cause,
although I think that women will be
able to accomplish much good with
their votes.' Mrs. f. G. Hubbard
told her story in few words; u
prefer to stay at home, for think that
is TIL ewoman's place. Woman jurors
on divorce case7 Oh, my, no.

Big IMPROVEMENTS
FOR |. & W.PLANT

Ed Renihart returned this afternoon
after a weeks absence in San Francis
co, where he went to attend the meet
ing of the Winnemucca Water &
Light company, which was held last
Tuesday afternoon at the San Fran
Cisco cMces of the company. At this
meeting all the plans for the enlarge
ment of the local electric and water
plants were approved and the expendi-
ture of the necessary amounts auth
orized. The details of these plans,
which amount practically to recon
struction of the entire works were
published some time ago in the Silver
State. There will be installed eitire-
ly new dynamos and other necessary
machinery in the electric light plant
and to increase the present water sup
ply new pump of three times the
capacity of the present one will be
put in.
Speaking of business conditions as
he found them, Mr.. Reinhart said that
outside of the real estate market,
which because of the fair plans has
received a great impetus, everything
was very dull and quiet. 1t was evi-
dent that money was plentiful and
easy and that there was no difficulty
in getting loans on desirable and safe
real estate properties.

GLASS PALACE
INTERESTING SHOW

The Devine Bros glass palace con-
tinues to be one of the best drawing
features of the Street Carnival and
rightly so, for visit to the tent is
highly interesting and well worth
while. The little marine engine with
it's walking beam as used on the river
steamers, which is made entirely of
glass and runs by steam, is alone
worth a visit, while the difficult glass
blowing work of the two Devine broth
ers is as instructive as it is clever. The
young folks especially should be en-
couraged to take in this show as the
art of glass blowino is entertainlngly
and intelligently explained in the lee
lures and better insight is gained in
this industry, particularly as to the
method of coloring thhe various pro
ducts in the few minutes spent in Wis
iting the palace, than could be gained
from long and careful study of
books on the subject. Then, too, ev-
cry visitor is sure of a handsome or
useful souvenirs, sa that whieht ever
way you take it, you are sure to get
your moneys worth.
The feat of leaping the gap by La
bard has lost none of its sensational
thrill and when the time comes for
his act all of the other shows are for
gotten by the crowds. I.abard, by the
way. who began his professional life
as a trapeze artist, has had several
bad falls, the latest one in Denver
some months ago. On this occasion his
bicycle swerved just as it approached
the gap and landed on the edge of the
other platform, so that Labard and the
wheel were tossed into the air, turning
a cocplete somersault. He was para
lyzed from the hips down and for
weeks was kept on ice in the hospital
to which he had been carried after the
fall. Labard saws that the only time
that he feels any uneasiness is first
night, when in the hurry of erecting
the platform, which is often necessary
re is not sure that everything is solid
md straight.
The playing of the Eagles band dur
ing the week has been exceptionally
good and their concerts every evening
have been no small part of the enter
tainment offered by the Carnival.
This evening the great confetti bat
tie will take place.

MAY OVERRIDE
PRESIDENTS VETO

That there is considered strong
possibility OF the wool tariff revision
and farmers free list bills being
passed over the veto of President Taft
is Indicated by the latest action of
Representative John Dwight, the Re-
publican whip, in sending kilograms
TO all the absent Republican members
OF the house urging them to hurry to
Washington. 1t is feared that the
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
have made new coalition, which will
give them the necessary votes to re-
pass these bills after the president has
carried out his threat to veto them.
There are at present 3S9 members
of the house and two vacancies. OF
the members 226 are Democrats, 161
Republicans, of whom 129 are elassed
as regulars; one Independent and one
Socialist. Two-third of the total
membership would be 90 leaving the
regular Republicans shy by two votes
of the one third they needed in case
the total membership was present
when the bill was reconsidered.
Mr.. Dwight, however, counts on the
support of at least three men who
voted for the wool revision bill and
other revision measures when they
passed the house the first time.
SO far as the White house is con
cerned, the situation in the house is
more alarming than in the senate, al
though Senator Penrose also is engag
ed in keeping Republican senators in
town

NEED OF: LONG AND

Especial to the Silver State.)

pers in the intermountain and western
interior country: between the Canadian
boundary and the Mexican line, will
De requested by the interstate CON-
merce committee of the Spokane
chamber OF commerce to join in a Pc
tltiop to congress at it's next session
90 enact long and short haul clause.
IT IS purposed to send delegation Of
representative western business men
TO Washington to work for the meas
ure.
Henry M. Stephens, chief counsel for
the people in the famous Sokane
freight rate case, in which the inter-
state commerce commission announced
It's decision ON July %, said in dis
cusslng the foregoing that, while q
great victory has been won, he thinks
additional advantages may be secured
by urging congress to amend the
fourth section of the interstate com
merce act, SO as to make it absolute
and without proviso from eastern in
terror points.
Commissioner Lanes holding in
the Nevada and Arizona cases,0 Mr..
Stephens added, is to the effect that
there is no water competition in the
Chicago st Louis territory, notwtih-
standing Commissioner Prouty SAYS
the commissioners are unable to state
that water competition does not have
any effect upon rates from Chicago
and st. Louis. / have always contend
ed there is no evidence Of water COM
petition west of the Buffalo Pittsburg
line, and the commission holds there is
no such competition from Chicago and
st. Louis
Hence, / am of the opinion that
an absolute long and short haul clause
provision from territory where there is
no water competition or not water
shipments of material consequence
would be legal, unless the carriers can
show that the reduction in rates would
result in the confscation of the rail-
road property. This, am confident,
the companies cannot show"

Will INQUIRE into
LIVE STOCK RATES

On September ii at Oklahoma City
the interstate commerce commission
will begin general investigation into
freight rates on live stock, packing
house products and fresh meat, in eff
feet throughout the portion OF the
country west, south and southwest of
Chicago. The inquiry will be wide
one. 1t will effect directly not only
the live stock and packing house pro
duet rates throughout the central west,
but also those east of Chicago and
west of Denver.
The respondent railways number
1872 The investigation is based on
complaints of the rates filed with the
commission by the railroad commits
sion of Oklahoma, the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association, the American
National Livestock association and
others interested in livestock and meat
product shipments. Incidentally, com
mercial rivalry between two sets of
meat packers in Chicago enters into
the case.
TT is indicated by the commission
that the purpose of the inquiry is not
only to secure a parity of rates, but TO
establish by definite order rates which
the commission shall regard as rea-
sonable and not unjustly discrlm1na'
tory.
A final determination of the com
mission s proceedings is not expected
before spring.
