PICKETS
Injunction proceedings will likely
be started against the Waiters and
Cooks and Kitchen Helpers unions
by the Cafaterias and Baltimore
lunch coutners unless the , pickets
are withdrawn from in front of
these places. One arrest was made
yesterday afternoon in front of the
New Cafateria, Sprague avenue
near Washington street, but as no
warrant was sworn out the picket
was released.
Pickets are stationed In front or
nearly every one of these places te>
day. shouting to the patrons that
the places are unfair to organized
labor. It is officially stated that
they will be kept at work until they
are restrained by law, or until tbe
Baltimore Lunches and Cafaterias
consent to unionize their help. Pro
prietors of these places are becom
ing hostile.
i Unionization is practically impos
sible, declare some of the proprie
tors of the eating places. In only
one Cafateria men cooks are hired.
Female help is employed almost ex
clusively in all others. Fixe extra
boys help about an hour or two at
lunch time each day for their board

cannot afford to pay mem the union
scale.

FASSETT DIDN'T
SIGN PETITION
George Moore, a solicitor of sig
natures for the initiative, referen
dum and recal petitions, had poor
luck when he tackled C. M. Fas
sett. republican candidate for
mayor.
Mr. Fassett gave him poor en
couragement. Moore says, saying
he would have to think about it
—and the result was he couldn't
sign.
It. B. Paterson took Alone
through the retail department of
the Crescent btore and John F.
Sanders performed the same serv
ice for him In the Spokane Dry
Goods Co. The result, was 200 sig
natures in these establishments,
both of which belong to the same
firm.
DAMAGED THE DAM
The Washington Water Power
Co. has served notice on the city

building the North Howard street

Is repaired at once before the high
water sets in, otherwise the city
.may be held liable for damages to
tbe mill
Another complaint was made that
the contractor intends to leavo the
cofferdam in the stream and to this
obstruction the company also ob
jects and asks that It be removed

with the work.

STERN WARNING
FOR YOUNG
CROOK
A yearning to see hia home and
mother and a desire to rid himself
of the uneleanllness to which he
had become subjected while a
tramp is Harry Schonewald's pri
mary cause for a term in the state
reformatory. Harry, who Is but a
mere lad, was convicted yesterday
evening by a jury in Judge Web
ster's court on a charge of bur
glary and was today sentenced to
the reformatory at Monroe, Wash.
His crime consisted of forcing an
entrance to the Pacific hide and
fu r depot, Madison street and the
Northern Pacific tracks Jan. 22
and stealing a quantity of hides
which he endavored to sell at the
same place on the following even
ing. The hides were recognized
and the police called, and Harry
was hurried off to jail. On the
way to the station he declared that
though he had ben in trouble be
fore, he had tried to do better, but
that he became homesick, was un
clean and half starved and thought
by just one more theft he could
procure money enough to reunite
him with his family.
The jury was out about four min
utes, when it returned with a ver
dict of guilty.
"Your first crime was larceny,
this time ft Is burglary, next time
perhaps it will be robbery and
then—murder," said Judge Web
ster in his stren, convincing man
ner, as he looked down from his
bench 'at the young criminal.
"Young man," he resumed, "you
are traveling the downward road
just as fast as you can. This is
your second time to be convicted
of crime; you must change your
ways and make a better man of
yourself, lest you may some day
be dealt with for murder."
Schonewald said nothing, but his
face paled slightly as the judge's
words fell upon his ears.
HE LOVED THE HORSE
NOT THE MONEY
Special Correspondence to Ths Pre»»
LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 16.
—The American turf has known no
more picturesque character than
E. J. (LttOky) Baldwin, who died a
few days ago on his ranch in south
ern California. Horse racing, to
horsemen, is a business, just as
much as brickmaking is to a brick
maker, but in Baldwin's case it had
a romantic side. By hereidity a
lover of horseflesh, Baldwin did
not get into the game until long
alter he had made his milions in
mines but once he had determined
to become the owner of a great
stable, he put his whole soul into
the project and what he accom
plished has a ditinctivw place in
turf history.
The great Baldwin stable, which,
for a number of years swept every-1
thing before It, had its inception
In a pool bought on an eastern
track on the marvelous Grinstend.j
The horse was not conceded a!
chance, but "Lucky" liked him so j
well that he made a plunge and '
Grlnstead won, bringing his ad
mirer sufficient profit with which
to buy the animal. Another out
sider in the betting on another
race, Rutherford, also won Bald
win's admiration, and after win
ning a big bet On him, he bought
that animal, too. Grlnstead and
Rutherford were promptly shipped
to Baldwin b Santa Anita ranch
and formed the nucleus of what Is
conceded to have been the greatest
stable of thoroughbreds America
has ever known.
BURTT SECRETARY
FOR OMO
George K. Burtt, bookkeeper for
the Independent Asphalt Co., has
been appointed secretary of J. T.
Omo's mayoralty campaign com
mittee. Mr. Burtt has been more
than an ordinary bookkeeper for
the company and has been quite
prominently Identified with it.
There is seldom a council meeting
that Mr. Burtt fails to attend, espe
cially when anything in the nature
of paving is likely to come up for
discussion. Mr. Burt was formerly
connected with the city engineer's
office, during.the Mclntyre regime.
TO PAVE BOONE
AND OPEN POST
Councilman Dalke has two reso
lutions to offer in the city council
this evening for the improvement
of thoroughfares on the north
side. One of these Is to pave
Boone avenue from Monroe street
to Howard street, and the other is
to Open Post street, grade, park
and sidewalk it from Boone ave
nue to Broadway. The street has
never ben oj>end and the improve
ment will entail considerable ex
penditure.
DENTIST BEATS CASE
Henry, charged with practicing
dentlsty without a license, was dis
charged after a hearing before
Judge Stocker this morning. Ethel
Nogle, a witness for the prosecu
tion, declared that Brown had filed
two of her teeth and that he had
accepted payment from her for his
work. Brown, who worked for the
Alvelor Dental oC, proved to the
court's satisfaction that Dr. East
man did the work, and he collected
the fee from the girl. The dental
association was behind the prose
cution.
HINKLE SIGN CAMP.
A meeting of supiwrters of J.
Grant Hinkle was held last night in
the Fernwell block and J. P. Per
kins was chosen to head the cam
paign committee and J. N. Steele to
act as secretary.
Baldwin made millions out of
his horses, hut of him it can truly
be said he found greater pleasure
in the excitement of the race and
the glory that his horses brought
him than In the increase to his
fortune that they brought him.
He loved his horses and revered to
the last the memory of at least one
of them—old Grinstead, whose
bones repose in a vault on the
Santa Anita ranch.
Many stories have been told of
Baldwin's turf career, of the poig
nant grief that the defeat of a fa-
vorlte horse caused him or of the
intense delight that followed the
victory. The monetary loss never
bothered him, nor did he jubilate
over his winnings. He simply hat
ed to see another horse prove bet-
I ter than one of his "pets," and by
| the same .token, went into ecsta
j ales if his horse proved its running
i superiority over its opponents.
Horse owners, as a rule, prate a
food deal about the "improvement
loj the breed' when horse racing is
!in danger of being legislated out of
j existence, but of Baldwin It cannot
be denied that the breeding of
great thoroughbreds—better horses
' than other breeders raised, not sole
!ly for the money they might earn
i for him —was his ambition, his
j heart's desire. This he accom
plished, and In his declining years
nothing gave him greater satisfac
tion than to be able to point to bis
achievements on the turf, achieve
ments never equaled by any Ameri
can, or foreigner, for that matter. ■

FASSETT TELLS OF LIFE
AND ANSWERS QUESTIONS
In his talk before the Scandina
vian Republican club last night, C.
M. Fassett, republican candidate
for the mayoralty nomination, gave
a brief synopsis of his life and con
cluded his statement by answering
several questions put to him by the
executive committee. The follow
ing outline of the talk has been
prepared by Harry Rhodes,, .chair
man of the Fassett campaign:
"In response to somei inquiries
about the circumstances of my life,
I will say that since. lSwears of
age, when I left school, iKa vet been
employed In business oKairsj and
have been in business mv myself
for over 2"> years. Whether! that
business has been successful ojr not
or whether the business reputation
which has followed me Wstfecess
ful or not, I am not the witness.
Some of your members here to
night, probably your Ifcreßtlent,
have known me for 20 ywtw I have
been In Spokane and 1 whojßd be
better satisfied to have y||i a$ him
in confidence as to the character or
my business and social We' ifltoce I
have been in this city.
"in IXBS I was a member of the
Nevada legislature and at that time
and for years thereafter was close
ly connected with public affairs ir.
Nevada.
"Since coining to Spokane I havt
been continually In public work
though not holding any remunera
tive public office; served on the
school board, the library board;
have been connected with the
chamber of commerce, and have
been active in Its general and com
mittee work ever since it was first
organized.
"If there are any questions which
you would like to have me answer
1 will be very glad to have you
make them.
"Q. Have you promised any of
fice in the city government to any
one if you are elected?
"A. No; nor will there be any
promises made.
REMNANTS WILL NAME
THEIR CANDIDA TE TONIGHT
Tonight the remnants of the Fed
erated clubs will indorse one of the
candidates for the mayoralty and
possibly two of the candidates.
Nothing but the moral welfare of
the city will be considered, say the
leaders, who scout the idea thai
politics cuts any figure In the mat
ter. The indorsement would have
been made some time ago had not
the Uolo club men threatened to
disrupt the well laid plans.
The candidates to be consl lered
are N. J. Laumer, J. T. Omo, R. A.
Hutchinson, C. If, Fassett and N. B.
Pratt. J. Grant hinkle refus :?d to
allow his name to be cons iered
and John F. Sanders doesn't care
whether he Interests the cl ib or
not.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
No. 5258. '1.
In the superior court of' t,he state
of Washington, in and forHhe cfun
ty of Spokane. In the matter of
the estate of Simon P. Johnson, de
ceased.
Notice is hereby given that all
persons having claims against said
estate are required to present them
to me for allowance at the office of
the administrator at the Spokane
State Hank, Spokane, Spokane
county, Washington, within twelve
months after the date of the first
publication of this notice, or they
will be forever barred.
Dae of the first publication j of
this notice March 16, 1909.

"Q. Will you insist on resigna
tion from the men you appoint to 1
office? •
"A. I think it would be an insult
to ask any man to prepare his res
ignation, and hence I would not ap
point a man to office whose appoint
ment sfach a course would be found
necessary in my judgment. 1
would not myself accept an office
that was offered to me on that con
dition and I would not ask any up
right man to accept one from me.
"Q. What do you think of a re
stricted district?
"A. I have said many times that
I was one who believed that laws
should either be enforced or repeal
ed. The state laws in regard to
this matter are stringent, and I
should attempt to see that they
were enforced, although personally
I feel that it is not the best way to
handle this important question.
"Q. What is your idea of reve
nue from public service corpora
tions?
"A. 1 believe that all the capita!
invested in public service corpora
lions of any character should be
amply rewarded and that the men
who Initiate and carry out these
utilities should have ample rewards
but no corporation which depends
ipon the use of the city's streets
for its existence and is therefore
I lecessarily a partner with the peo
•ple shouldd be allowed to chargs
| the people an excessive rate for its
! service. The first requisite In
; handling a matter of this kind, is
] publicity. The people, having an
interest in this business, should
have the same privileges as stock
holders in any other corporation,
j They should know what is being
done not only in the carrying out ot
the work of the corporation, but
also in the internal and financial
arrangement. It is only by first
finding out these conditions that we
may formulate plans for future ac
tions."
chance for the indorsement and the
fight lies between Sanders, Pratt
and Fassett by a process of elimina
tion.
All three answered the secret in
quisition satisfactorily. Hutchin
son will appear before the tribunal
tonight.
It is practically cut and dried
that Fassett and Pratt will be in
dorsed as the other candidates
have little chance to break up the
slate which was formed early in
the game.
"An Ohio preacher says a kiss is
a worse intoxicant than drink."
"What do you think of that?"
"1 thiuk he's been kissing."
