also is charged that the initiative
and referendum amendment op-
crates to deprive the governor
of the veto power and that the
prohibition law interferes with
Interstate commerce.
1t is charged that the title un-
der which the prohibition law
was submitted was faulty in that
it stated that the measure pro-
hibited the manufacture of in
toxicants with certain exceptions,
whereas the act in fact prohibits
manufacture in all cases. The
complaint asks that both the
initiative and referendum amend
ment and the prohibition act be
declared null and void.

More than 10, 900 eastern tour
lists who passed through Spokane
this summer en- route to or from
the California expositions were
met at the railroad stations and
given bouquets of flowers by
committees of citizens represent
ing the Spokane Horticultural
Society.
Under the direction of Herbert
c. Moore, a former mayor of
Spokane, 10000 roses. 200, 1000
asters and $50, 900 smaller flowers
were distributed to visitors. The
work was organized early in the
spring, and scores of residents
delivered quantities of their
choicest flowers either daily or
weekly to the headquarters of
the society. Here they were
assembled in convenient bou-
quets, and committees laden with
huge baskets passed through the
coaches of passenger trains of
the five transcontinental rail
roads, presenting punches to
each of the travellers.
Earlier in the summer, COM
mittees devoted a week to the
distribution of roses among the
guests of hotels and lodging
houses and patients in hospitals.
This included the more modest
lodging houses, where many of
the sick poor were cheered by
the flowers.

has not been patented, and is
said by its originator to combine
certain sporting pleasures with
utility. Ever since the early part
of the summer DR.. Marks has
had trouble with road hogs" "
When he came back from the
San Francisco exposition the
doctor brought along a quantity
of vociferous torpedoes. They
were of the kind used by children
on July a, but large and power
full. Some of these were in his
pocket when he took a recent
trip to Mt. Spokane. An un-
usually obstinate driver was
ahead of him on the road to the
mountain. He refused absolute
ly to yield enough of the road for
the Doctors car to pass. Then
one of the torpedoes landed be-
tween his back wheels. DR..
Marks had, as he swept by.

hog" dismounted at the side of
the road examining every tire
for the blowout he was sure he
heard. Torpedoes are part of
the Doctors equipment now on

the game has been staged in the courts

with the same amount of entertainment
that they get at A ball game and give
them the much-needed exercise as well.

games is no greater, IL as great. as the
regular fan has paid in years gone by
for the privilege of sitting In the base

 In his reply Secretary Garrison sug- gested that persons outside of the de- partment were getting the commit tees ear and intimated that an officer of the general staff had been trans ferred from Washington sometime ago because of his activities in this con nection. This officer. whose name neither the secretary nor Mir Cham berlain would divulge Mir Garrison said. had continued his activities and had "caused his views to be published in several newspapers"
