RND 8 STICKS OF DYNAMITE (■> United Press Leased Wire) SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 12.—The police are tpday convinced that the discovery of eight stickse of high power dynamite under the marine supply shop ot H. C. Dorman will lead to the apprehension of a band of terrorists and blackmailers who have used this methodf for the past year. It is believed the same men who placed the dynamite under the Dorman establishments are respon sible for the wrecking of the gar age of the Italian consul last week. CONTI N U E D " , rr o M : PAGE. ONE KILLINGS NEXT uals, Intende to do some shooting before long. Shooting isn't such a long step ahead of what has laready been done. Bricks have been hurled, vitriol has been thrown, people have been stabbed with hatpins, a policeman was painfully cut wllti a knife in a recent riot in front of the house of parliament, and tiles have been tumbled onto the au thorities' heads from the tops of high buildings. That someone has not been killed already is due to mere good luck. So why not fire arms ? Now, if a suffragette war-party should open fire on the police one day soon and kill a few of them, what are the police going to do about it? It is a good deal to ex pect men to stand up and be shot to death without returning their assailants' fire. And yet, to fire into a crowd of women! The militant suffragettes had quite a long period of comparative Inactivity up to November 18. This was due to the fact that there was a bill in parliament providing for the enfranchisement of women householders, and the suffragettes were willing to accept this as a step in the right direction. Rut the bill did not pass. It wasn't even voted on. It was simply "smothered" in committee. Then the women instantly took the ag gressive. There have been big riots in parliament square, with hundreds of arrests. The authori ties dropped every case they pos sibly could. But the suffragettes say this will make no difference. They declare that all reforms are accomplished by violence and that they intend to resort to whatever amount of vio lence is necessary to get the fran chise on the same terms that men have It. In the latest "raid" the suffra gettes made a determined effort to enter the house of commons, and succeeded in making a whole lot of trouble for the police, members of parliament and the premier. The suffragettes pay so little attention to the rules of the game that they think nothing of briuging down an M. P. by a flying tackle whenever the opportunity offers. The scrim mage made a whole lot of fun for the general public and for a bunch of Yankee jackies from the Ameri can battleships, who were for tunate enough to be on hand for the fun. The ground was littered with torn bits of feminine apparel. CRUSADE AGAINST GIRLS IN THEATERS "As a result of a tour of the city I will ask this society to do all in its power to see that the young chorus girls at the Fun theater are not allowed to remain there," said Mrs. Blanche H. Mason, assistant state labor commissioner, to the Spokane Social Science club yes terday afternoon. "Another thing that ought to be abolished is the penny arcade and the restaurant boxes, where drinks are served, and where more girls are started on the downward path than any other." HELP ON WAY FOR THIS WOMAN Mrs. John Wynne, who attempt ed to swallow a bottle full of car bolic acid last Friday, but who spilled most of the contents over her gown instead, is slowly recov ering at the hospital ward of the city Jail. It developed yesterday that transportation for her to join her husband in Twin Falls, Idaho, Was on the way when she made the attempt. Despondency over her husband forsaking her, as she thought, caused her to attempt suicide. O.R.&N.New Cut off SHORT LINE TO Wardner, Wallace, Burke Two trains dally. Leave Spokane lam. and 2:45 p. m.

Henceforth she who trips the light fantastic will get the thrills of Alpine climbing and the bene fits of travel" thrown in for good measure at the one price of admis sion. The scenic ballroom, which orig inated down east, is fast winning its way westward. The new scemc ballroom csots $100,000, and the scenery covers a hall 300x150 feet. BONITA IS GOOD Another good bill is on at the Orpheum this week. Bonita, the headliner, has a striking stage ap pearance and a good voice, and her singing and scamper provoke ap plause. Her assistant. Lew Hearn, is amusing in the inevitable "rube" work, and the pair make quite a hit. An interesting bit of New York characterization is given by Charles B. Lawlor and daughters, who delineate sidewalk types for the amusement of the audience. The Italian skit is excellent as an opening number. All of the prin cipals have well trained voices, Mr. Lawler in particular. Bowman brothers present a rather amusing blackface act, and "Just Phor Phun," the pantomime farce, is entertaining. Mona Ryan is the leading attraction in the playlet, "Handcuffed," her beauty and James O'Neill's work as the police lieutenant, making up for numerous weaknesses. More Room Needed For Player Pianos TWENTY - FIVE UPRIGHT PIANOS GREATLY REDUCED IN PRICE TO MAKE ROOM. We need more room at once for player-pianos in order to display to advantage the many fine lines that we now carry and the variety of styles we have for Christmas buy ers to consider. Our temporary store, where we are located during erection of our new building, has many limitations, but we have de cided that it is better to sacrifice our profit in closing out odd styles of new pianoS and all slightly uced ones, than to limit our display of player-pianos—the most popular instrument for the whole family's Christmas gift. We have some sample eases of the following makes that may be had at one-third less than their real value: Lawson, Filers, Nel son and Marshall & Wendell. In slightly used ones we have Kimball, like new, reduced $17. r >; a handsome Louis XV. Weber, new, reduced $200; a Fischer, slightly used, at almost one-half; a Knabe and a Kranich & Bach. And don't forget that we are closing out our entire line of Weber, Steck and Wheelock Pianola pianos, new and slightly used, regardless of profit. Remember, a piano is a lifetime purchase. You can't afford to sac rifice quality for price, and while we offer unusually attractive prices, you must keep before you the quality of the lines we carry when making comparisons. Here's a chance to buy a piano of real quality and save money on it. Any reasonable terms will be acceptable. Location During Erection of New Building, 416-420 Sprague Avenue, Between Stevens and Washington. WALTZEYL VIEW OF TH~K NEW SCENIC DANCE HALL. A single span roof covers the ball room. An incline of 60 feet, gen tle enough not to disturb the equilibrium of the dancers, slopes up to the mountain top. You dance through a forest of i trees with artificial leaves, to emerge a minute later dancing past cozy cottages and small arbors. The foliage thickens again as the trail leads Up the mountain side, until a deep chasm, crossed by a frail rustic bridge, breaks their fastness. Then the outside world is lost to view in a pitch-dark tun nel. Out again, you dance into the moon light, under a hundred arti ficial stars in an artificial sky, and so on up to the very top of the mountain. MYSTERY THA T'S IT George Nicholson's novel, "The House of a Thousand Candles," is the offering at the Spokane this week, and its dramatization, while fairly successful, considering the character of the book, holds the at tention only by reason of that mys terious aura that surrounds a tale of shadowy expectancy and neu rotic tension. The role of Bates, the butler, is lifted from its neces sary obscurity in the novel, and Franklyn Underwood plays the part admirably. Somewhere in his nature lurks a strain of passive alertness, which he brings out in excellent style in his present im personation. Hi is mysteriously omnipresent and throws a spell over the scenes that promotes that air of hesitant expectancy to its most desirable pitch. Howard Russell as the easy-going Irishman, Larry Donovan, was very clever, his brogue did not appear affected and he enthused in admir able manner. The women of the company are not in much demand in the present production, but Miss Slosson and Miss Hanaford appeared to ad vantage in the minor female parts.

If you lose the way in the forset a uniformed guide stands ready to .direct you. He is the new version of the floor manager. Per haps you are startled by the sound of rushing water, and over a preci pice you gaze upon a waterfall. And then, if you are tried of danc ing, just jump into one of the gon dolas in the little river that winds through the valley and float back to the "village" for refreshments. All this time two orchestras al ternate in providing a dreamy waltz, so that there is no break in the music, lea\ing you stranded on the mountain top. Five cents a trip is charged from the village tot the dancing trip over the mountain and back again.
