GIRL'S STORY IS FALSE The story that Rosie Elliott gave on the stand yesterday in the Sul livan hearing is the same story that The Press investigators of the police enocuntered six months ago. At that time it was thoroughly gone into, sifted down, and found to be false. , It will be shown that the girl told many different versions as to the parentage of her little girl, and that the solicitude and all of the trouble of the Elliotts was due to their efforts to keep her away from the associations that finally resulted In her downfall. Tbe ut ter falsity of the charges of the girl will be shown with the same conclusiveness that she was prvoed to be a perjurer in the hearing yesterday. The Elliott girl has been kept under lock and key practically for six months by friends of the po lice, artists in the art of the "third degree," who trained her in the piece she was to say. The Elliott girl under cross-examination such as she will be subjected to, can not hold to her story. CAN'T FOOL CHIEF (By United Press Leased Wire.)

Rogers knows the law and knows just how far he can go, and my advice to him is to keep within the law." —Chief of Police John Seymour. When Seymour said this today he had just emerged from bis office after a conference with Rogers over the Los Angeles Times explosion case, and his manner betokened the storm that had arisen behind the closed doors. Seymour spoke his mind freely in the presence of many newspaper men, but he did not re veal the subject of his discussion with Rogers. Later tbe chief said that he had told Rogers to submit to him a list of tbe persons in San Francisco whom tbe Los Angeles grand jury desired to subpoena.

Instead of that he caused a copy of the charges to be filed with the board of police com missioners, which is now attempt ing to try them, without the testi mony of the plaintiff being heard. I have never seen an act so fla grant and In such open violation of the law. There is no politics In this thing. I don't care whether Mayor Pratt is a democrat or a re publican, this matter should be in vestigated on its merits and the truth heard. I appear here for J. H. Elliott, an honest and just old man, a defender of the Union, and a member of the G. A. R., who has filed these charges. There are no gamblers, saloonmen or bad women behind this case, and when it is heard we want priests and preach ers, and all other citizens, to be present. We want only justice and the fair name of the city of Spo kane cleansed of the stain that has been applied to It through the ac tions set forth in these charges. No subordinate board ought to have the right to forestall justice in this case." The board of police commission ers was ordered to make no find ings in its present Inquiry until after the city council acted, and It was further ordered to see that John T. Sullivan was on hand when the official trial is called. At the outset there was talk of an early date for trial of the Sullivan charges, and Councilman Lambert introduced a resolution setting the hearing for October 31. On account of the absence from the city of the sewer, water and light, committee about this time it was agreed to set the date for a week later. WHAT LAMBERT SAID. In support of his resolution Coun cilman Lambert said: "The resig nation under fire of Acting Chief of Police Sullivan makes no difference in this case. This matter of the con duct of the police has been before the people for months and we have been asked to inquire Into it. The court has decided that the right is ours to hear the case, and I am In favor of going ahead with the hear ing as originally intended- 2 ' Councilman Nelson seconded the Lambert resolution. Councilman Mohr wondered what would happen If the council found Sullivan guilty, but it was agreed that that wa sa matter of after con sideration.

Mohr: "Mr. Robertson, we are not surprised that the mayor has crossed us in this matter. We are accustomed to it. Robertson: "No matter how often Sullivan may be tried and ac quitted, the right to hear these charges rests in the city council. The police board is trying to fore stall action by holding a hearing in which it is proposed to have Sulli van acquitted. We don't care what the mayor thinks or says, we are ready to go ahead. From an inspec tion of the charges and a review of the evidence I believe conditions will be shown which are a disgrace to the city.." PRATT'B POOR JUDGMENT. Lambert: "After listening to what Mr. Robertson has said I think it is poor policy for the mayor and the board of police commissioners to attempt to whitewash Sullivan. The mayor showed poor taste and worse judgment when he removed from the files of the city council a copy of the charges pending against Sullivan. It appears as if he is try ing to hide something or is afraid that something is coming out. It is utter folly fdr the mayor to charge that there is malice against Sulli van among the members of the city council.
