dynamite.
His confession was made Satur
day night and guarded In the hope
of catching Peter, whom John ac
cuses of making a deal with other
people to kill Gallagher for money.
He says he was to receive $5000
as his share of I loud money.
He did not get it. That is the
reason he confessed. He went over

THE SPOKANE PRESS
TO BLOCK
IDE AY. AT
ANY COST
That bribery and bullying have
been resorted to in an effort to de
feat the Ide ay. improvement, or
dered by the city council over a
protest of alleged representatives
of the North Coast railroad, is the
charge made by residents of the
North Side who have been strug
gling for more thaD a year to have
the improvement completed.
The fact that a number of prop
erty owners had been paid $200
down on prospective deals for their
property on coniuion that they
sign a remonstrance against the
Ide improvement was brought out
last meeting of the Ide ay. and
Summit Boulevard Improvement
league.
Six such deals made after 4
p. m. yesterday were reported to
the meeting held at 1912 Ide. Mc-
Crea and Merryweather were the
agents making these deals. The
same firm, with railroad assist
ance, has held up the improvement
for the past year in the board of
public works.
The property bought yesterday
lies on Ide from Oak st. west. It is
this property that the railroad in
terests are trying to block from
improvement in order that right of
way may be secured at the lowest
figure in the event that the rail
road builds through that section of
the city.
In many cases reported to the
league threats were used to com
pel agreement to sign a remon
strance. Property owners were
told that their property would not
be wanted after the council meet
ing tonight when the improvement
assessment role comes up for nnal
confirmation. Then, McCrea &
Merryweather, the owners say, de
clared they would condemn pr
line the street with railroads so
that the property left unsold would
be worthless.
But the condition of every sale
was that the property owner sign
a remonstrance against the im
provement of the avenue. The deals
were not made final, the property
owner accepting $200 and signing
a sale agreement in several of
which no final price was fixed. The
threats are said to have been used
largely to women found found al
home in order to induce them to
Influence their husbands to help
block the improvement.
They were told that the improve
ment already ordered would be
held up in th< council meeting
tonight if it cost $20,000; that it
would not be permitted to go
through.
Residents interested in securing
the improvement were told today
that the board of works had au
thorized H. L. Lilllenthal to with
draw his bond deposited when he
was awarded a contract for the
Ide ay. work a year ago for $19.-
-000. The work has since been held
up on request of McCrea & Merry
weather. The withdrawal of
Lilllenthal means tnat a deal has
been arranged whereby the pro
ject is to he finally abandoned even
after a committee of the council
and interested parties had visited
the ground and the council, acting
on this report had ordered the
work proceeded with.
Pres. Goodall, of the chamber of
commerce, was enlisted in the
fight to override the wishes of
property owner;: and that falling,
the promoters of the railroad deal
have apparently resorted to the
boldest possible means to carry out
their plans.
As a result it is expected that a
showing will be made against the
improvement tonight that will put
an end to It entirely and leave that
section of the city wholly at the
mercy of the railroad people and
their agents.

SENT TO JAIL BECAUSE SHE PUT ON
MAN'S CLOTHES TO MAKE A LIVING
Special Correspondence to Tbe Presa
NEW YORK, July l;.—"I must
try to bear it like a man," sighed
Mrs. Augusta Seib with philo
sophical resignation and the trace
of a smile as she started with oth
er prisoners to seve a five-day
term in the workhouse for mas
querading as a man.
Dressed in a man's gray suit,
with striped shirt, man's collar and
tie and heavy, square-toed shoes,
she could have continued to pass
as a man anywhere, as she had
done, in fact, for nine years, with
out having once been suspected.
"It never occurred to me as a
crime," she continued, "to dress
like a man. I meant no harm and
could see no harm in it. I found
out it was easier to make a living,
and, having a living to make, didn't
waste any time on theories. I just
jumped in and tecame a man."
The story of Augusta Seib's life
for the last nine years is largely
one of tragedy. Known as "Gus"
Seib" in many hotels and restau
rants of New York, where she has
worked as a waiter, she has com
bined her struggle for a livelihood
with a persistent search for her
husband, Geo. Unferz.agt, who was
arrested as a bigamist three months
after she became nis bride, Dec. 10,
1897.
They were living in Newark
when her husband was taken from
her, leaving her friendless and
penniless, without even a know
ledge of English. She obtained em
ployment in a cheap eating house,
where she picked up a knowledge
of English and became expert as
cook, carver ani waitress.
She learned that waiters earned
more than cooks and became a
waiter. She gathered her male
wardrobe piecemeal, practiced
walking and talking lige a man,
and tried unsuccessfully to grow a
mustache by shaving her upper lip.
She also learned to smoke cigars,
drank over the bar occasionally,
and used "little cuss words" when
the occasion demanded.
For 18 months she was a waiter
at the Marlboro, later at the Astor,
Savoy and other places, and man
aged to save $400 with which she
recently opened a small restatiant.
It did not prosper. "Gus" decided
to become a waiter again to earn
money to keep the restaurant go-
BRYAN TALKS 18,000,000 WORDS
IN EFFORT TO BE PRESIDENT
W. J. Bryan has talked approximately 18,000,000 words in
3000- speeches and traveled 300,000 miles seeking to be presi
dent, since the day 12 years ago when the free silver delegates
nominated him the first time In Chicago.
He estimates he delivered 250 speeches and traveled an av
erage of 25,000 miles each year, Including his around-the
world trip; that each appeal has averaged half an hour and
that his audiences averaged 1000.
If Bryan has spoken 1500 hours. 90,000 minutes, in the 12
years, the estimate that his enunciation averages 200 words a
minute brings the grand total of words to 18,000,000.

TAFT'S STYLE OF CAMPAIGN
TICKLES HIS FRIENDS
Special Correspondence to The Free*
WASHINGTON, July 14.—T0 say
that Taft's friends lv Washington

he plays the political game on his
own hook Is putting it mildly.
They are prophesying that before
the campaign ir, over the country
will be convinced that it was Tatt
shrewdness that made the Roose
velt administration such a pictur
esque success,
It is estimated that the presiden
tial nominee is about to pull off
some stunts in the Ohio political
situation which will make old
politicians sit id and take a second
■quint tit Buckeye Bill. There is
no denying the fart that the Ohio
aggregation, Which has been hold
ing the whip hand in that state
since last spring, is sore at the
(allure of Arthur I. Vorya, of their
midst, to land the chairmanship.
They wanted the big prl/.e for the
prestige that it would give to the
machine that they have been la
boring on ever since Taft started
out to get the Buckeye delegation
to the Chicago convention.
The recent repeated visits of
Senator Dick of Ohio, to Private
Citizen Tart has led to the belief
that the presidential candidate is
seeking to pacify all factions in
Ohio at one fell swoop. Previous

Sen. Dick, caused by the White
House opposition to some of their
plans. Sen. Dick's closest allies in
his Ohio fights were the present
Ohio bosses who have been trying
ito put the Buckeye senators to
sleep. Walter Brown, chairman of
Ihe state central committee; Harry
S. Williams, chairman of the state
executive committee; and State
Auditor Walter Oullbert, were as
thick with Dick as hops.
For Sen. Dick to go to these
Ohio leaders v. ho thought they
were about to blossom forth Into
national politicians, and with
bared breast, show them how, in
the interest of party success he
has set them an example hy get
ting onto the Taft band-wagon,
would have a wholesome effect. It
would also have a tendency to
make them believe that if they
were to be Taft's representatives in
Ohio they must not let the other
crowd in Ohio get onto the ground
floor ahead of them.
Senator Dick made arrange
ments with Judge Taft to see him
at Hot Springs shortly after the
subcommittee selected a chairman
of the national committee. At that
time it is believed an understand

=F ONE CENT
SIXTH YEAR, NO. 213. 25 CENTS PER MONTH
MORE IRAN $100,000
ADDED TO COUNTY'S
f ' EXPENSE IN ONE YEAR
The county government during
the year just past has spent more
than $100,000 than was expended
last year. One item is the over
hauling and refurnishing ot the
treasurer's office, another the wir
ing of the courthouse for electric
lights. An addition was also put
onto the building for the sheriff's
benefit.
The administration of Commis
sioners Collin, Rohwer and Spence
is responsible for the expenditure.
The following comparative fig
ures have been secured from
County Auditor Greene who sub
mits them without comment in a
report which is being turned out
by the printers:
One of the greatest Increases is
in Assessor Galbraith's depart
ment. In 1907 the expense was
$28,676.18; in 1908 it was in
creased to $59 821.62, more than
twice as much as for 1907. It is
stated that for almost a solid year
Assessor Galbraith has kept his
favorites in the field doing assess
ment work.
Another largo increase is noted
in the expensed of conducting the
county jail under Sheriff Doak.
This amounts to $11,362.36 against
$9,182.37 last year.
Prosecutor Barnhart has also
added considerable to bis expenses
and this year it is $15,050.14 com
pared to $13,558,48 last year. The
Increase in the superior court from
$43,097.50 to $52,621.47 Is explained
by the addition of a superior court
judge and the added expenses of
more bailiffs and witness' and
jurors' fees.
SEN. ROSENHA UPT FOR
PROGRESSIVE MEASURES
State Senator Harry Rosenhaupt,
Spokane, is the first candidate for
congress under the direct primary
in the Third district to declare for
tbe initiative and referendum. Of
this issue he says:
"I am in favor of the initiative
and referendum, and pledge my
self to work for these measures. I
have studied the question a great
deal during the past few years, and
am convinced that direct legisla
tion can safely be trusted to the
voter.
"The passage of initiative and
referendum laws is merely extend
ing the power of the voter along
the lines already started by the
direct primary, and every legislator
in favor of the latter measure
should also favor the other two."
The balance of Sen. Rosen
haupt's congressional platform is
concisely stated in the following
official announcement issued today
by his campaign manager, David
F. Laws:
I am for —
A continuation of the Roosevelt
policies.
The revision or removal, as the
case may demand, of the tariff on
all trust manufactured goods.
A proper guarantee to depositors
in banks.
The postal savings banK.
The conservation of our natural
resources.
A liberal appropriation for tho
opening of the Columbia river.
The exclusion of oriental labor.

County Physician Morrison has

noted in Coroner Witters depart
ment—from $1842.95 to $2180.90.
The same number of county com
missioners have added more than
$2000 to their own department—a

to $10,906.33 this year.
The expenses of the justices of
the peace has increased from $10,-

the addition of an extra Justice and
consequential expenses.
General expenses of the court

but there seems to be no reason
for It on casual observance. Tho
increase is from $21,857.37 to $51,-

The county hospital expense has
increased about $8000 explained by
the addition of a pumping plant

General stationery supplies have
about doubled as have also the ad
