NEEDED ALTERATIONS. "Ha la a aelf made man, I am told." **Qutta true; but hie wife insists on making some alterations." POLICE MATRON FIGHT GROWS WARMER WOMEN PREPARE TO CAMP AROUND THE CITY HALL COMING UP TONIGHT. When John Sullivan, chief of po- lice, had the city council recede • from its action creating a police matron he stirred - up a hornet's nest. There are some aggressive fighters in the Woman's club, which has taken the lead in the matron fight, and they propose to stay with the cause until a matron is secured or the public will know the reason •why. * For nearly a month a committee from the Woman's club has been quietly at work gathering facts about the manner in which women have been handled at the city jail, ■which they intimate is not compli mentary to the police. Tonight the club will go before the city council, armed with petitions and endorse ments by a number of different bod ies in a demand not for one matron but for three, each to work an eight hour shift, the same as police offi cers. "You women are too easily ap peased," said Mrs. La Reine Baker in a short alk on the matron issue last night at a banquet at the Hotel Spokane, marking the organization of the new Free Forum fraternity. "You permit the city council to put you off with promises, which are broken as soon as they are out of your sight. If I were you I would go to the city jail, prepared to stay until your requests are granted, it it is necessary to stayy all night and have meals and a cot brought in. Temporizing will do no good tn cases of this kind. Aggressive ac tion is what is needed, and the sooner you adopt this plan the bet ter." The remarks were applauded as recording the sentiment of the women present, a number of whom are members of the organization backing the fight for a police mat ron.
