FREE GIRL AGAIN
Rose Elliott has been released
from the Home of the Good Shep
herd, where she was held by order
of the prosecuting attorney's office
during the pendency of the case
against L. D. Gilder for interfer
ing with a state's witness. She
was released on the order of Pros
ecuting Attorney Fred C. Hugh.
Rose Elliott made the statement
after her release that she was go
ing to Oregon to get married. She
is the chief witness in two felony
cases yet pending in the superior
court that of Mrs. Pierce and Mrs.
Kelsch. and without her presence
it might be hard to convict these
parties, if guilty.
There are those who venture the
assertion that L. D. Gilder will
never be prosecuted beyond the
MURPHY IS
IN CONTROL
(By United Press Leased Wire)
ROCHESTER, N. V., Sept. 29.—
Although the democratic state con
vention opened at noon today. It Is
the general opinion here that the
slate will be made up tonight.
Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tam
many Hall, who dominates the con
vention, declared this afternoon
that he has no candidate to put for
ward.
The old slogan of "Harmon,
Hearst and hormany" will be re
vised for the present occasion. The
Harmon portion will not be touched
upon.
While the Hearst end is expected
to be decidedly lacking, the har
-mony is promised, but a consider
able fight is predicted over the se
lection of a gubernatorial candidate
to "buck the Stimson-Roosevelt
line."
Edward M. Shepard of Brooklyn
apparently Is the leading candidate
for governor, but the fact that he
formerly was a corporation attorney
is being use dagainst him.
MAN CRIPPLED AND
WITHOUT MONEY
Tom Miller, a man without visible
Tneans of support, who had been
rooming at the Berlin hotel, on
Main avenile. without paying hoard,
was hooked as a state vagrant yes
terday. He was suffering from a
badly bruised foot and the landlady
of the hotel disliked to turn him
out. The police were notified Sun
day and he was removed to the
emergency hospital, where his foot
was dressed..
EIGHT NEW POLICEMEN.
It has been decided to increase
the local police force by adding
eight new men, who will go on
duty at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
and work until midnight. This ac
tion Is decided upon because of the
necessity of more men being on
duty in the early hours of the
evening. The regular night shifts
will go on duty at 8 p. m., as usual.

Gilder has made the assertion that
if he is sent to Walla Walla in con
nection with the more serious
phase of the Elliott case that he
will tell enough to s%nd half of the
police force to prison and it would
he a shame to lose such a large
section of our valued police force.
Gilder also happens to know a
thing or two about his old sup
porter. John T. Sullivan, and It is
naturally to be inferred that Sul

sire to have Gilder go over the

WHY THEY DID IT
(By United Press Leased Wire)
—"Washington, sept. 29.—The
department of justice this afternoon
gave out the following statement
regarding the simultaneous raids
on the various offices of the Shef
tels company:
"There Is evidence in the posses
sion of the department that tends to
show that the Sheftels company en
gaged in the promotion and sale of
questionable mining stocks."
PIGEON SOUP IN
DILUTED FORM
The presence of dead pigeons
In the Kenwood standpipe has
been reported at the city hall.
The intelligence that the peo
ple of the north hill were being
fed on pigeon soup in much
diluted form was first conveyed
to the board of public works
and referred by them to the
water department.
It is thought that the water
department will refer the mat
ter to the health department,
and that institution will in turn
call in the crematory depart
ment, at the end of which time
no douht the last remnants of
the pigeons will have long since
ceased to exist.
130 DOGS ON BENCH SHOW.
Over 130 dogs have been entered

This is the first three-point show
in the history of the local club.
31 MILES OF WATER PIPE
Plans are now be ; ng perfected by
the water department of the city of
Spokane for the laying of 31 miles

months. This pipe will vary from
four to 14 inches In diameter, and
will be laid principally in the lum
ber manufacturing district, Cannon
dale and other sections which have
suffered from a water famine.
FORFEITED $50.
The well known citizen of Spo
kane, who gave his name as George

DERBYSHIRE, ANTI-RING
CANDIDATE FOR CLERK
Glen B. Derbyshire is the anti
courthouse ring candidate on the
democratic county ticket who is op
posing Cal Atkinson, the present in
cumbent and candidate for re-elec
tion in November.
Derbyshire has been a resident of
•Spokane for nine years and bears a
good reputation. He has had years
of experience in bookkeeping and
office work and is fully competent
to look after the affairs of the
county clerk's office.
Derbyshire is 'a new man in poll
tics, but is getting acquainted fast.
He has recently spent some time at
the courthouse looking up the rec
ord of his opponent, the grand jury
indictment of Atkinson and other
matters that will be . presented to
the voters before the campaign
closes.
Derbyshire's platform reads, "If
GOODBYE COLONEL
| Tawney, J. P. Morgan. Lurton, Hitchcock anil all the motley crowd of.
' plutocrats and Hessians of privilege, cannot enlist in the army of
insurgency.
It would have been as sensible if James Buchanan, with Jeff Davis
and his outfit, had tried to get into the councils of Abraham Lincoln, as
insurgency got along pretty well while Roosevelt was in Africa, thank
you. He cannot swallow up the insurgent movement, and insurgency will
not swallow him with his endorsement of the tariff bill and of the presi
dent, with his Roots aud Griscoms.
There can be no stop to insurgency in either the republican or demo
cratic parties, and no harm can come to the movement unless undesir
able and eleventh hour recruits are permitted to fog its councils and
pervert Its aim. Taft isn't welcome as a recruit, and Roosevelt's room
is now far preferable to bis company. Let's cut out the red fire and
leather lungs and go back to the patient, dogged fighting of real insurg
ents. Listen to that T. R. built New York platform. It says:
"We enthusiastically endorse Taft—each month since his Inaugura
tion has confirmed the nation In its high estimate of his greatness of
character," etc. Rot. It may have confirmed Roosevelts high estimate
of Taft, but it hasn't confirmed the nation. Look at the record of those
J 8 months.
Taft ran a fake republican convention in Wisconsin to beat LaFol
lette.
Taft tried the patronage club on Brlstow.
Taft excommunicated Cummins.
Taft fired Pinchot.
_. Tuft put Lurton on the supreme bench.
Taft stood for Morgan's Wlckersham railroad bill and tried to club
Cummins into voting for It.
Taft fought Polndexter at home.
Taft bargained with Cannon and Aldrlch; helped their friends and
hamstrung their foes, though their foes were good party men.
If that record "confirms" any "estimate" of Taft that was held in
1908 then Roosevelt knew he gold bricked the nation when he handed it.
the "judicial temperament" package.
After that New York platform there is no room In any group or party
for both Roosevelt and LaFollette, or Roosevelt and Cummins, or Brlstow
>r PolndcjLter.
And insurgency can't get along without the LaFollettes, Cummlnses,
BristOWl and Poindexters.
So, good bye, colonel; take keer o' yerself.
