ran to the spot. Two men were
beating another who was drunk.
Nell lnterferred and knocked one
of the assailants down. This man
when he arose said: "I'll kill you

Judge Hunekc wants volunteer

troling certain localities where
children congregate at night. Judge
Huneke and members of the Y. M.
C. A. called on the mayor this
morning and discussed how best
to keep children off the streets and
to enforce the curfew law. It was
decided to ask citizens to act as
officers around the residence por
tions of the town.
The principal places where chil
dren are about after dark are the
parks and residence districts. The
curfew law fixes 9 o'clock at night
in summer and 8 o'clock in win

ent small police force to keep chil
dren off the streets except in down
town districts. Chief Rice, who
was at the session, so informed the
committee.
Chief Rice today will issue or
ders to his men that whenever a
child under 16 not on an errand or
accompanied by an older person, is
found on their beats they are to be
taken in and turned over to the
probation officer. Then Judge

"PROHIBITION PRESIDENT
CERTAIN, ULTIMATELY"
BY CHAS. R. JONES. Chairma
n Prohibition National Committee.
COLUMBUS. 0., JulylS.—The
prohibition party was born to put
a prohibition \ resident in the
White House, and will live to see
one there, backed by a congress
pledged and elected to support him.
The prohibition party never once
in 40 years has had a doubt of na
tional victory.
The brewers snd the liquor men,
aroused by the rising tide of public
sentiment against them, have just
one hope of temporary escape from
doom. Their faith is in the stealthy
dagger of the political assassin.
Beaten to the seeming verge of
collapse, they will get busy in the
very hour of de.'eat, stab the statue
in the back through perjured offi
cials of license parties, and
straightway flood the press and con
fuse the people with their slander
and ridicule of deliberately nulli
fied and vlolat H law.
This is the secret of 50 years of
see-saw temperance agitation, and
the incontestable warrant for tho
prohibition party and its creed.
The prohibition party is the
friend and well-wisher of every
enemy of the diink curse.
As a party it never did and never
will quarrel with those who in
various ways are striving for the
overthrow of the evil.
But for 40 years it has never for
a moment swerved from its posi
tion that the final and complete
victory of the reform can never be
achieved so long as the liquor
forces are permitted to remain
equally divided in the two domi
nant parties of the nation, where
they now are able to dictate the
attitude and policy of either one
which may happen to be in power.
By this strategy, which for them
is their only salvation, the liquor
men have kept their grip upon the
lever of the nation's politics.
The only effective remedy for
this state of affairs, which is rap
idly becoming chronic in all ptohi
hitlon states and communities, is
that offered by the prohibition
party.
Once the liquor politicians and
the liquor leaders have heen •breed
or driven by self-defense into one
party by the long delayed political
union of their opponents, the era
of duplicity and vacillation on this
question will be over, and the hour
of permanent national victory win
have come.
The record at our prohibition na
tional headquarters Indicates:
Thai there are now sight prohi
bition states with a total popula
tion of 13,000,000;
That there are 850 prohibition
cities in 36 stater, with from 5,000
to 100,000 each, having a total pop
ulation of 3,500,000 aud an average
population of nearly 15,000;
That practically 10,000,000 people
of whom at least 104100,000 have
been added within the past four

For each prisoner the sheriff

SEEKS REFUGE IN SUICIDE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.—
Learning that her mother will be

wants to live, though she tried
suicide Tuesday after she was re

shop.
Leaving a pathetic note for her

prompt medical aid saved her life.
The girl's father was killed in the
earthquake. Her mother sought
employment as a seamstress and
kept the wolf away by hard work.
The care of three smaller children
devolved upon Loui3e.
When told by the butcher that
no more would be charged to her
mother's bill the girl wrote the fol
lowing note to her mother:
"I am sorry to tell you I am
dead. The butcher would not trust
me, nor the grocery store, and I am
very sorry mama dear. I know
you won't scold me. I am a bad

I know God will. I went to church

Across the front of the note she
wrote: "Please give this to

Then Louise went to the rear of
the butcher shop and drank the

BUILD BRIDGES AND TAKE
CHANCES SAYS COUNCIL
Councilmen do not seem to take
seriously the proposition of exact
ing payment from the streetcar
companies of a just share of cost
of new bridges, despite their other
declarations. They had an oppor
tunity last night to enforce pay
ment for the Mission ay. bridge A
crowd of property owners from the
vicinity wore on hand to boost
for a concrete bridge at that point
and one of sufficient strength to
carry 50 ton streetcars. At present
no streetcars cress the old bridge.
Engineer Ralston first submitted
figures for a concrete structure. 40
foot roadway, not sufficient for
Streetcars but tor ordinary high
way traffic. Councilman Funk
moved for its adoption, saying that
later if a streetcar company wanted
to use the bridge it could strength
en It at its own expense. He had
heard of concrete bridges being
strengthened before and made just
as good as Originally built. Then
the property owners were heard.
They wanted a bridge of strength
sufficient for cats regardless ol
cost apporioamcnt.
Councilman Funk said that if the
bridge was built for cars at this
time some future council would
giant a franchise and the company
would not be forced to pay a cent,
the conditions | reVSiling ou other
bridges vow iv use.

there Is little profit. I can tell you.
With the way foodstuffs are now
there is practically no profit

On an annual purchase of $10,-
-000 the sheriff's complaint of little
to be made seems rather gauzy.
His boarders are not satisfied by
any means with his bill of fare.
The cost of it per man dally has
been figured as low as 18 cents. If
that is correct SherifT DoaK should
have little need of financial worries
when he leaves office.
But where does he or any other
sheriff get the authority for appro
priating everything above the cost
of prison board .' Their salaries
are fixed by law. The difference
between this process and an agent
taking what might be left of a
sum he was entrusted with to car
ry out a mercantile transaction is
not perceptible. Yet agents fre
quently go to jnii for such things.
The annual county statement
shows that the jail boarding house

record of anything saved being re

VICTIM OF FIRE CRACKERS
BELLINGHA.M, July 15— Tho
daughter of John McKay, age eight,
died last night after suffering since
the Kourth from fire cracker
burns.
Councilman Dalke took the po
sition that he harl faith in all future
council*.
Funk referred to Hangman
Creek bridge and said that the dif
ference between a highway bridge
and one for streetcar traffic
amounted to $10,000. Citizens in
that part of the city had forced
the council to luild a bridge ot
strength enough for cars and the
W. W. P. had RQt paid a cent for
its use as a result.
Councilman Lambert took the
position that a 25 foot roadway
would be sufficient because the
street was only 29 feet. Council
man Mohr said that the street
could be widened at any time whilo
the bridge could not.
City Engineer Ralston estimated
that a bridge for streetcars would
cost $1 1t!.6t0. while for mere high
way traffic only $70,000.
Ostrander wanted the matter re
ferred to the committee or the
whole again. Funk would not stand
for it. saying the bridge matter
had hung Are lor two years and
the proposition to refer at this
time was subterfuge. He finally
agreed to the stronger structure
proposition nnd the engineer was
ordered to prepare the detailed
plana.
Plans are to be submitted for
East Olive st. a so.
