IN STORY OF FIND
ING OF SAUT
BINE S BODY.
Stripped of every shred of cloth
ing save the high topped shoes and
stockings, yet, still encircled by the
shell belt and scabbard that carried
his trusty weapon, the body of Offi
cer P. H, Sautbine of the mer
chants' police, missing since March
10, was found in the Spokane river,
15 miles down stream from this
city, yesterday. Two great bruises,
one over the pit of the stomach and
the other squarely upon the chest,
seem to tell of blows struck foul,
perhaps in a heated encounter just
before the victim may have been
pitched bodily into the river by his
Slayer.
The skull of tho corpse is whole
and bears no evidence of a blud
geon's blow, and only a few other
apparently Inconsequential wounds
appear upon the body. There is a
hole in the left side, just below the
ribs.
Total absence of clothing on the
body tends to substantiate the
theory of « struggle—likely upon
the high Division street bridge, just
north of which Sautbine was last
seen, on the evening of March 10,
while on the wuy to work. Unless
the clothing had been badly tatter
ed and torn. It is not probable that
three months In the river would
have stripped them from the body.
Willi the finding of the body in
the river, though such lias been the
Common expectation, much inpor
tance has suddenly been attached
to a letter, claimed to have been
received by Chief of Police Sulli
van, telling of Bautbine's murder

"Illinois is becoming a by

WATER BUCKET !
BRIGADE BUSY
A meeting has been called
for tonight at 7:30 o'clock at
the home of J. F. Miller, E227
Gordon avenue, in Lidger
wood, to discuss the water
situation and the shortage of
water in that locality. This
is the district that recently
sent the women with tin buck-,
ets to the city hall, where they
were given but little encour
agement.
There has been a water
shortage in the same neigh
forhood almost daily for the
last week and there was no
waste there this morning.
How next to proceed in the
campaign for water will be the
chief topic for consideration.
There has been a change of tac
tics at the water office in the an
swer given to people who protest
over the water shortage on the
north hill, which was worse this
morning than it has been for a
week.
Now the water department men
want to shift the blame on the city
council because it reopened the
Pine street pumping station. The
SPOKANE PEOPLE WANT
A "FATHERS' DAY" NOW
"Father's Day!"
Some time ago there was a day set aside throughout the land
to be known as Mother's day and to be celebated the first Sab
bath in May. This holiday was given birth to in the East,
but the West has gone them one better. Mrs. J. B. Dodd of
Spokane heads the petition approved by the Ministerial Alli
ance of this city to set aside the first Sabbath in June to be
known as Father's day.
She wishes this idea to take root and to sprout in the hearts
of the people of our country. The object of this day, she says,
is to bring other father and child, and to give to the head of
the house and the earner of the daily bread for his brood all
respect and honor due him. It is also the aim of this day to
instill the same love and reverence for the father as is the
mother's portion. The petition has been signed thus far by the
following men of Spokane:
Mark H. Wheeler, Y. M. C. A.; George H. Forbes, secretary
Y. M. C. A.: Mills E. Pettibone, secretary Ministerial Alliance. •
The name of Mrs. J. B. Dodd heads the list. •

How the Publicity
Forces Needed Action
An illustration of the need of a fearless newspaper to protect
the interests of the people is shown in the matter of the construction
of the new Monroe street bridge, mentioned In The Press a few days
ago.
Two young engineers have been placed in the active charge of a
job that if not properly managed may cost half a million of the tax
payers' money and the lives of many workingmen. The futile efforts of
these young fellows to make headway with the bridge, and the con
tinued discharge of competent superintendents of construction be
cause they would ont permit the young engineers to dictate the man
ner in which the actual construction should be carried on, and caus
ing the death of one man and the Injury of four others, has resulted In
forcing the engineer's office and the high officials at the city hall to
take action. Because of this J. H. Farney, a skilled steel worker, has
been placed in charge of the active work on the bridge, and will fur>
nish the mechanical skill which the job has lacked since the resigns*
tion of Stewart, the last foreman, a week ago.
POINDEXTER STRONG IN SENATOR JONES' HOME

•Judge Burke and John Wilson, candidates for the United
States senate, residing in Seattle, invaded the east side of the
state about 10 days ago. with the intention of spending several *
months among tho voters. They both have changed their Blinds
suddenly, cancelled all of their engagements and after ridiculous
excuses have ;.un' b.ick to Se.utv in whisper the situation over.
