Wants Board of Representative Business
and Labor Men if Elected.
If J. T. Omo Is elected mayor he
will have a permanent advisory
committee of 10 men, chosen from
the ranks of the busines men and
laboring Interests, behind him to
confer with on all matters touching
the expenditure of public funds and
the regulation of municipal affairs.
"I have made up my mind that if
I am elected mayor," said Mr. Omo.
"that I am to be thj representative
of the whole fiwiaw, and It is no
more than my duty to get at the
will of the people before I act. To
this end I want the aid of a com

be a permanent commitee to serve
as long as I am mayor. I will pur

ORPHAN'S HOME HEROINE
WILL HOLD THE FOR
The tide Is turning out at the Or
phans' Home of Spokane, ElO Lib
erty avenue, and the effects of the
150,000 club "booster" knock was
not nearly so bad as Beemed it
would be when the first blow spoil
ed nil the benefits tbat had been
planned for the children.
The home management did not
realize that the club secretary has
to rustle up at least enough to pay
his own snlray, or any tenders of
aid that might conflict with such
rustling would have been regret
fully declined.
Eilers Piano House has put a
piano in the home to replace the
one removed by Sherman-Clay.
Mrs. Dey can get along without
the piano, but the little ones en
joy singing to it so much she
strains a point to keep one when
It doesn't conflict with bread and
butter and clothes for the children.
The unfair and misleading JoiTps
report, instead of putting the home
out of business, is winning friends
that may be depended on here
after.
Mrs. Dey made a proposition to
the committee that they select
some business man to handle all
the funds given the home, but this
didn't suit their purpose. An ar
rangement is now being perfected
whereby the funds will be handled
entirely satisfactorily to every
body, and Mrs. Dey will continue
her work as long as she wants to.
She has nothing more serious ln
the way of attack to face now thnn
the riffraff of gossip tbat always
follows in the wake of cowardly
attack. It comes from discharged
employes. She wants to pay no
attention to it unless serious
enough to demand proof in court
or the penalty.
Beginning Monday The Press
will publish a weekly report of all
donations to the orphans' home,
and those who have contributed
will be able to check up and see
that everything is straight.

STILL BEFORE JURY
The grand jury Investigation Into
the alleged looting of the defunct
Pacific Live Stock insurance asso

is a masß of records, account books

claims any Intent to defraud the

be recommended to the city central
committee as chairman, to succeed
D. M. Thompson, present city chair
man, who will be asked to resign,
in view of the fact that he has
come out openly for N. S. Pratt, the
democratic nominee.
Mr. Omo's personal choice for the
chairman of the campaign lies be

that one of these three men will be
selected to manage the fight.

ROME, April 10.—Saint loan of'
Arc!- ■■ j>
All the world, Catholic and Pro
testant, will re joice tomorrow: tf
see the church's most signal honor
bestowed on the peasant girl ■ot;
Dorremy who rode fortli on her
milk white horse. 500 years ago, to
-save the Dauphin and France. *. ? .
As Joan of Arc was burned to"
the stake. May 30, 1431, TresserVa
secretary to the king of England;
who was a spectator, wrung hre
hands and cried aloud:
"We have burned a saint." "j
And now, after so many
Tressert's words become literal and?
legal truth. It will be Saint 3osm
of Arc in church records In the ft|*
ture.
Probably no woman character tn
history has gripped the world's'im
agination more than this simple,
pure, country girl, with her won
derful visions, who went from
home in her rustic gown, to res'"
cue he*r country from the quarrel
ing Burgundians and the ambitious
English who were about to tear ft
to pieces—:and succeeded, only fjj
be rewarded with the stake.
The church's sacred formula has,
been gone through with. The name
of Joan of Arc has been formally
proposed for the honor of saint-;
hood. The advocate of the dcvil —
in the church's- quaint phrasing—
has made his arguments why Bhe.
should not be so rewarded. He has
the satisfaction of having failed.
Tomorrow, in full canonical
robes, cardinals and bishops . and
papal legates—the greatest Catho
lic dignitaries of the world —wilt
assemble in Joan's' honor at Stj
Peter's.
After the "Aye Marie Stella" the*
advocate of canonization will for-'
mally beseech the pope in Joan's
behalf. The pope does not answer,
but engages in prayer for guidance.
A second time the request is
made, and the "Veni Creator"
sung and the litany of the saints
recited.
Still a third time the advocate
makes his plea, then the pope ac
cedes. All rise except the advo
cate, who remains kneeling, while
his holiness, wearing his tiara,
promulgates a decree, declaring
Joan of Arc a saint. Follows then
the "Te Deum." and the great bell
of St. Peter's calls all fellow
churches to join in mass.
Three requisites the church re
quires before admitting anyone to
the honor of sainthood. First, to
have always told the truth. Sec
ond, to have been utterly without
selfishness and of stainless char
acter. Third, to have performed at
least one miracle through the
grace of God.
Joan of Arc has passed the tests, i

MODJESKA EARNED MILLION
AND GA YE IT TO CHARITY
(By United Press)
LOS ANCKI.ICS. April 10.—Mod
jeska led v fortune amounting to
$120,000. Including persoual prop
erty and Jewels. This Is all believed
to remain from $1,000,000 earnea*l||
the ac tress dnring her years on the
stage.
The greater part of her fortune
waa devoted to charity. A gift ot
Judge Milo A. Root, former Jus
tice of the supreme court, is pay
ing the penalty of his too intimate
association with Judge Merritt J.
Gordon, former Spokane counsel
for the Great Northern railway.
Judge Root has aged rapidly in the
few months that have elapsed
since the knowledge of his rela
tions with Gordon became public,
and those who know him well say
that, he is bordering on the verge
of a nervous collapse. The strain
of the last few months has told
heavily on Root and today he pre
sents the appearance of being al
most a physical wreck.
The grand jury postponed its in
quiry into the insurance case long
enough yesterday afternoon to
hear Root.
The trouhles of Judge Gordon
set more lightly upon his shoulders.
There was a time when Gordon
took his affair more seriously,
when rumors that if the Great
Northern made public his alleged
shortage with that company he
would tell all he knew about the
methods of the Hill road and then
commit suicide.
The Hill lines are not now fight
ing Gordon; in fact, from outward
appearances he seems to hold the
whip hand. Gordon is in good
health and fine spirits, as in the
old days; lives wel, has an abun
dance of money to hire all the
counsel he needs and seemingly is
In as good condition, physically
and financially, as when he was
the head of the Great Northern le
gal department in the state of
Washington.
Thus far Root appears to be the
scapegoat. He Is the man who
has suffered and still suffers.
With position gone and standing
as a lawyer sadly impaired, he is
said to be without any material
evidences of having profited from
his connection with Gordon, which
resulted in hl6 retirement from the
supreme bench of the state.
