SUPPORTERS
OFTAFTARE
WORRIED
PINCHOT HAS BEEN IN
COMMUNICATION
WITH T. R.
(By United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Gifford
Pinchot is preparing a statement
which will be designed to vindicate
his position in the controversy
which led to his dismissal as chief
forester by President Taft.
Stork's that Pinchot has been in j
communication with Colonel Roose-i
velt, since the former president |
went to Africa, are not denied by
PlnohOt'a friends today. The Taft j
administration supporters appear
to be much concerned over the pos
sible contents of the Pinchot state
ment. It is expected it. will point
out in strong terms what Pinchot
considers the dangers of the alti
tude of the Taft administration to
ward the conservation of the na
tional resources.
Pinchot is preparing his state
ment in his capacity as a private
citizen. The work so far has been
slow, as he has been constantly In
terrupted by a stream of sympa
thetic visitors, Who called to ex
press their regret that he has left
the government service. He is be
ing almost buried under an ava
lanche of mail and telegrams from
sympathisers throughout the coun
try.
SPOKANE
A REFUGE
FOR SICK
FLOCK TO CITY EMERGENCY
HOSPITAL—MAKE THINGS
TOO CONGESTED
Spokane is becoming sort of a
dumping ground for the thriftless
sick nnd disabled of the entire In
land Empire. If you do not believe
the above statement, all you have
to do is to spend a day, or a shorter
time for that matter, at the city
emergency hospital,
Here come the sick nnd maimed
from all sections of the surround
ing country, asking for help or
treatment. Since the emergency
hospital Is provided for emergency
cases only, Ihe stewards, Dare and
Milburn, imd Emergency Physician
O'Shea are obliged to refer the
applicants to the county physician.
Inquiries from these applicants
■how that a great majority of I hem
have been here only a few days,
having come from some of the
nearby towns. Some come from
t anada. In their helpless condi
tion, it is impossible to turn them
away, it' s not equitable, however,
that the places from which they
come do not take cognizance of
their condition, and do their fair
■ban 1» bearing the burden of
their care.
Alter they have received treat
ment here, these people spread
forth the tidings of the goodness of
this county, causing others to fol
low In their footsteps, While no
one of the citizens of this city or
county would complain about car
ing for the sick who belong here, It
la not fuir that they should be call
ed upon to pay taxes for the care
of the sick of the entire surround
ing region.

POEM WHICH
MORSE TOOK TO

Following is the poem 'invic

Charles W. Morse learned in the
Tombs and which he took with
him into the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to
pole.
I thank whatever gods there be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circum
stance
I have not winced or cried
aloud:
Under the bludgeonings of fate
My head is bloody but un
bowed.
It matters not how strait the
gate,
How charged with punishment
the scroll;
1 am the master of my fate,
1 am the captain of my soul!
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 10.—Ten
minutes after the big steel door of
the I'nited Status penitentiary here
swung shut behind Charles w.
Morse, but a few days ago a man of
millions, he had censed to exist so
cially. He had become convict No.

of rough blue clothes, was marched
into the big dining hall, and with
negroes, Indians. Chinamen and
whites of every condition, took his
first meal under the roof that is to
shut out his liberty for 15 years.
He found placed before him jel
lied bread, coffee, sugar and milk,
lie could not eat, and that was the
first sign he has permitted to es
cape him of the terrific strain he
has been under since he began in
New York the journey to what is
called his "life term."
After walking through a crowd of
morbid nnd curious with head erect.
Morse was received by Warden Wil

made a formal protest against his

"Mr. Morse, you have always

"You may be sure of that." was

That Blamed Old Cold!
There's All Kinds of Ways'
to Catch It, and Here Are
a Few—Look Out for the 1
Big Dinner, and Don't Let
Your Cold Run Along.
The annual winter epidemic of
colds, coughs and sneezing in Spo
kane is in full blast. Thousands of
people in Spokane are afflicted
more or less severely. Though the
winter months usher in the greatest
suffering from colds. It is not
weather itself that causes all the
coughing. Two of the mildest win
ters, IS9O and 1891, saw a great
spread of influenza all bver the
land. Many doctors are talking yet
about the hard work they had in '91.
Somebody once defined a cold as

FUNNY OLD
QUACK CURES
Here are some old time cold
remedies that doctors say will
do more harm than good, al
-1 hough they were in high favor
a generation or so ago.
BRIAR CURB—Qum from a
cut in a briar bush, eaten, was
once called a sure cold cure.
STOCKING CURB — Remove
stocking from foot and bind it
around the neck when retiring
at night.
JELLY CURE—Jelly of black
currants (never red currants)
eaten three times a day.
HERRING CURE —Wear salt
herring in the shoes. This cure
comes from Ireland.
LIMB CURE —A small piece
of lime allowed to slake on the
tongue.
ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS —Th's
fake remedy i.as been exposed
many times, but is still popular
in rural districts.
suffer much, but which took about
six months to cure."
Doctors themselves admit that
the nature of colds varies with the
individual. For instance, there are
at least "d kinds of sore throat.
Crowds in trains, churches, the
theater, dance ball! and other
crowded places are conducive to
tiie spread of colds. Dance halls
are one of the principal sources of
coughing.
Benjamin Franklin once wrote an
essay on colds. Some of the things
he said are good today. He pointed
out that the weather alone could
not cause colds and coughing. Turk
ish bath attendants are in hot air
one minute, and cold water the
next) yet they do not take cold.
Neither did the Indians, when they
roamed through snow up to their
necks. Colds and OOUghlng were
unknown to them until the days of
civilization. '
Overeating and Improper feeding
are things that will make 'most
anybody subject to the despised
cough. There's been a lot of holi
day overeating lately, and this may
have caused the cold epidemic.
Ever since old fashioned alman
acs began to circulate, home rente
dicH for colds have been tried, nut
none of then is reliable. Any doc
tor knowa this.
When people begin to cough, as
many in Spokane are doing now,
they are laying the foundation for
more trouble.
If you have taken cold—
Don't monkey with It.
Don't let It run along.
See a doctor and follow his ad
vice.

What's a Cold? Will, Doctors
Don't Know Much About It
WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 10.—
What is a cold?
This query interests three of
Uncle Sam's most noted medical ex
perts thes wintry days. Surgeons
General George H. Torney of the
army and P. M. Rixey of the navy
have issued bulletins telling how to
avoid colds. Surgeon General Wal
ter Wyman of the public health and
marine hospital service also has
come out with a crusade against
colds.
Their work reveals the fact that
no body of medical men will agree
on just what causes people to be
come victims of colds in various
forms. While millions are coughing,
the government is studying the var
ious cures for influenza.
The Floyd-Lucas treatment for'
| had colds is being tried on the j
j navy's hospital ships this winter.
Mrs. Cleveland Floyd and William I
P. Lucas of the Harvard Medical |
j school were guided in their work by'
Metehnikoff, the Russian germ ex

He believes that colds are caused
Iby lack of white corpuscles in the

pneumonia will set in.

MURDERS
"LOOK OUT, MRS. SULLIVAN,
I'M GOING TO
SHOOT."
SHOT WOMAN IN HEAD
CASE PERPLEXING PROBLEM
FOR THE POLICE TO
SOLVE.
(By United Press)
PORT COSTA, Cal., Jan. 10.—Joe
Crowley, aged 10, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Patrick Sullivan,
mother of six children, presents
the most perplexing problem to lo
cal officers in this county's history.
"Look out, Mrs. Sullivan; I'm
going to shoot you," cried the little
boy as he pointed a rusty revolver
at the woman as she stood upon
the railway platform. Mrs. Sulli
van, half smiling, half frightened,
started toward the boy to seize
the weapon. The little fellow tight
ened his grasp on the pistol, there
was a loud report and a flash and
the woman lunged forward, with a
bullet in her brain. In a few min
utes she was dead.
The boy was frightened nearly to
death. He had been playing with
the revolver, along with half a
dozen other boys, all yesterday aft
ernoon. It was toward dusk when
Mrs. Sullivan appeared and the lit
tle fellow conceived the fatal plan
of shooting her. Officers are trying
to learn who is responsible for
leaving a loaded revolver where
it could be found by children.
Major J. M. T. Partelo, a former
champion crack shot of the army,

SIX JAPANESE 60IDES MARRIED
ACCORDING TO BUDDHIST DUES
IWANA TAHARA, ONE OF THE BRIDES.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 10.—Six
little heathen Japanese girls, who
sailed away from Japan a few
months ago, have just become
brides here. They were married ac
cording to the rites of the Mud
dhist religion, in Japan they hud
become proxy wives of Japanese
men in America, but proxy mar
riages don't satisfy Uncle Sam.
From Washington and California
and other western states the bride
grooms came to claim their brides.
Ilev. Hoahln Fuji!, priest of a little
BtlddhlSt temple, conducted the
rites. And this is how they were
married:
V\ ith the bride standing on one
side of the shrine and the bride
groom on the other, in the presence
of two witnesses, the priest made
the proclamation of marriage be
fore the god Buddha. Then follow
ed the oaths.
The only difference In the oaths
is the order of the words love and
respect. The husband swears first
to respect, then love; the wife
swears first to love and then re

of conduct were laid down lor eauh:

The bee was set in motion by his

Judge Mann has thus far resisted
the importunities of his friends to

under consideration and there Is
a strong probability that at the time
the word is given Judge Mann will
be among the entries in the great

Judge Mann today, in response
to the question of whether or not he
would be a candidate, said:
"When the matter was first
broached to me I dismissed it with
the statement that the place was
for older heads in the political

"Should I conclude to enter the

in the Sunday Press that the next

seized the first opportunity to leave

The strike may soon be settleo

you ever heard that statement be
fore?) The local switchmen have
received reports to the effect that
the heads of the railway department
of the American Federation of La
bor are today In session at the
Twin Cities and that news of a set
tlement may be received.
Although no definite reports have
been sent out, it is believed thai
the purpose of the meeting at the
Twin Cities is to consider the re
sults of the work of Chairman Per
ham of the railway department,
v ho has been at the national capi
tal in an endeavor to bring about
an agreement between the roads
and the strikers.
Local switchmen admit that tho
result of the present conference
will be either a settlement or a
sympathetic strike on the part of
the other railroad orders of the
A. F. of L.
The striking switchmen here
place no credence in the reports
that the roads will blacklist men
who take part in the strike. It is
believed that the announcement is
enly a bluff on the part of the roaos
to swing the strikers into line.
