CELEBRATED AT SP0K ANE
Especial to the Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, March 27-With
proclamations issued by Governor Err
nest Lister and Mayor William J..
Hindley of Spokane, designating April

ed in the consumers army and are aid
ing in the move to increase the popu-
larity of the apple, whose culture is
one of the chief industries in the Pa
cifie northwest.
"Buy 'em by the box' has been
adopted as the battle cry, supplement-
ed by the statements: "There's a
reason for everything, except buying
apples one at a time-that' Is foolish /;
slogan it is expected to widen the
market for apples and lessen the cost
to the consumer.
Two hundred and nineteen different
ways of preparing apples for table use
have been compiled and distributed in
the homes of Spokane.
DIR. Harvey Wiley's saw about the
apple being the Doctors foe is supple
mented by number of articles by
Spokane physicians, telling of the
health values of this fruit.
In his official proclamation Mayor
Hindley requests all classes of bust
ness houses to decorate their windows
and stores with apples, and that
. every good home provider imme-
diately take stock of his fruit room
md if his supply be inadequate he will
plaee a generous order with his gro
er so that Saturday, April 5th, will
not find him unprepared.'
The mayor requests also that house
wives, caterers. restaurants and cafes
plan special menus for the day, featur
ing the apple.

Will FINISH SCOTT
TRIAL. TOMORROW

Rapid progress is being made in the
Scott, on trial for the murder of Ben
Swago, at Rochester, on February "a.
The State rested at 2:30 yesterday af
ternoon, since which time defense has
been introducing evidence in support
of its contention that the fatal shot
was fred in self defense.
The defense has introduced three
eye witnesses to the tragedy, all of
whom testified to practically the same
thing. A. G. Oliphant, newspaper
correspondent, testified that few
minutes before the shooting, while
standing in the saloon, he saw Swago
assault Scott; that defendant walked
away and left the saloon; that he was
followed by Swago; that the latter
left the door open, and that when he
went to close it, he looked out and
saw Scott lying on the ground, with
Swago standing over him; that at that
instant, Scott raised part way up and
fired two shots.
The district attorney gave this wit
ness severe cross examination, at
tempting to impeach his testimony by
written notes of statements he is al
legged to have made the morning after
the shooting. These notes were of
fered in evidence, and were admitted.
without objection on the part of de-
fense. They are said to contain the
statement by witness that Scott fired
from the ground.
Frank Alley, the bartender on watch
in the Brookhill saloon at the time of
the tragedy, testified that the men
had an alteration in the saloon a few
minutes before the shooting, and that
he helped separate them; that Scott
left the building, and was followed by
Swago, who knocked him down and
began kicking him; that Scott raised
up and fred two shots. That part of
the evidence relating to the fight in
the saloon was corroborated by the
other bartender, who was present.
Frank Parker, a painter and paper
hanger, swore that at the time of the
trouble between the men in the saloon.
he was standing at the end of the
bar, in conversation with Witness
Oliphant; that after they had been
separated, Scott walked up and asked
him to walk across the street with him
to another saloon, whore he wished to
speak to friend; that they started
across the street. and when about fif.
teen feet from the saloon Swago came
up to Scott from behind, knocked him
down and began kicking him in the
head: that Scott raised up and fired
two shots.
Billie Carlton, at whose house
Scott was arrested after the shooting,
testified that she had washed defend
ant IS face shortly after the tragedy,
and that it was badly ent and covered
with blood.
Several other witnesses have been
introduced 10 prove that Swago had
been heard TO make threats against
defendant. NJ Il. Fonts, one of the
owners Of the Br0okhill saloon, testi-
fed that he had employed Scott to
represent his interests. but that
Swago objected TO his going behind
tho bar.
Ii is thought that the defense will
rest this afternoon and that oppos-
ing counsel will sum up and the jury
he charged by Judge Dueker in the
morning.

NO PERPETUAL FRANCHISE

 son Battied Lifetime.

Cleveland, July By a majority of two to one, the voters of Cleye- land adopted a home rule chartcl recently drawn up by a committee O.. 15. The new charter places the con trol of municipal affairs almost en tirely in the hands of the mayor an0 the councilmen.
 Mayor Newton D. Baker of Cleve- land was chairman of the charter framing body. It contains many or the principles for which Tom John son battled for half lifetime. The committee of 15 was composed mainly of leaders of radical municipal move. ments in Cleveland.
 The charter was drawn in accord. ance with the most advanced ideas oi American and foreign experts. It was supported by all the civic and politi. cal organizations in Cleveland, the home rule" sentiment contributing largely to the heavy vote in its favor

Sieue of Crete.

Crete deserves mention of our list of memorable sieges. for in Cretan his tory we find the longest siege on rec ord, besides which Troy's ten years seem but skirmish. In 164s the Turks, attempting to conquer the island. laid siege to the capital city of Candid, which. however, did not surrender un. til September, 1869, after 2t years. Again in 1921, when the Cretans re. volted, the defeated Turks were able to hold the fortified cities against all attacks. and many of them were still uncaptured when the powers inter vened nine years later.

Philadelphia, July 3.-Gov. William Sulzer of New York was named as the defendant in a breach of promise suit when a summons in trespass was issued here.

NEGLIGENCE BY
CITY OFFICIALS
TO ENFORCE AN ORDINANCE
DOES NOT MAKE 1T
INVALID.
MILK DEALER MUST PAY
Revisited Payment Against City on
Alleged Failure of City Officials
To Collect the License.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort-The failure of city Off
cials to enforce an ordinance against
a large class of persons to whom 1t
is applicable does not make the orGi-
nance invalid when it is attempted to
be applied to any person of the class
embraced by its provisions. 1t is nee
essary however, that the ordinance of
this character should be uniform in
its operation, and an ordinance requir-
ing all persons selling milk in New
port, either from wagon or a depot,
TO pay a license of $40 year is uni
form. The appellate court so decided
in the case of George Weyman against
the city of Newport. Weyman sold
milk from wagon, and when an at
tempt was made to collect the license
he resisted payment ON the grounds
that the alleged failure OF the city Off
cials charged with the duty of collect
ing the tax to require all persons sub
ject to the provisions of the ordinances
to pay it exempted him from the oper
ations Of the ordinance.
