Spokane. Wash., Nov. 16. A thousand
rooters saw the Spokane Amateur Ath
letic club win a hard-fought fame with
the Multnomah club of Portland this af
ternoon at Natatorlum park. The acore
was 4 to 0 In Spokane's favor. The
Multnomah team outweighed Spokane

In the matter.
TTnior ih Jaw. preliminary reports

positive and specific action In tha mat

the legislative branch shall liave or

In the case of the resurvey of the
tipper Columbia, first reporta were un
favorable, but later opinion developed
that Justified going over tha ground
again. When Uie proper officlai was
called on to pass on the question, be
discovered that the red tap of the
congress prevented action for tha pres
ent and the rroject rests in that status.
Senator Ankeny has gone to consider
able trouble to ascertain tha possiblll-
i tiea In the premises, ana nu wnn mm
k row the war department, which appar-
-ently is anxious to take tip tha work.
It seems to be assured that authorlxa-
tioo will be procured from tha coming

of the Columbia will be gona over and
V probably something develop of Interest
J to the people of that region.
' It is understood that Senator Ankeny
Ms made a journey to tha upper Co

V It cared for In the appropriations.
Senator Pile of Washington and
'i Senator Heyburn of Idaho are busy at

Time was taken out frequently, prov
Ing the men were not hardened and able
to endure strenuous work. While tha
teams worked hard, the quick, snappy,
do-or-dle school spirit was lacking. The
first half waa nothing up and It began
to look as IT tha game would ie a tlo.
when Spokane's star left end, Kother
Ingham, with 10 minutes to play in the
second, landed a pretty place kick irom
the-2 0-yard line.
The Portland noys rinserea up ana
hit the Una hard. They once had the
ball near Snokane s 10-yard line.
Fotherlngham got the ball on a fumble
nd landed a liner or u yards, muh-
nomah losing its best chance to score.
Scott tried a place kick from the 25-
yard line Dut misseo goal Dy a iooi.
The rest of the time tha ball waa mostly
in Multnomah territory.
From the klckoff Hpokane reiurnea
the ball to Multnomah's SO-yard line.
The boys went through Spokane s line
twice for 10 yards, then punted so.
Spokane waa penalised 15 lards ror
offside play. By a series of plunges
and two end runs Spokane gained JO
yards. Multnomah got the ball on a
foul and ran the full length of the field.
Portland kicked and Spokane fell on
the ball on Multnomah's SO-yard lino.
Both teams lined up ror tne secona
half, after receiving a good lecture de

t At the uresent time the eommlttee is
tin session, and expects soon to have
v matters In shape for final presentation,
j. It la said that during the past sixth
months exactly as much has been ac-
yoomplished as was done during the pre-
i cedlnr 10 or 12 Years.
'i One of the Interesting facta which
. tmis revision work carries u me lay
'.man is that there are two labor de-
' oartments connected with the govern
,;" mant, - One of them Is tha department
r-of .commerce and labor, over which
j Oscar Strauas presides as a member of
. the-cabinet This Is what is technically
known as an executive department. But
the commissioner of labor presides over
a department which has no connection
' with tha other, and which la not an ex
it ecutlve department, although it per
forms important functions for tha gov
, ., ernment :
.Deep interest baa bean manifested in
; tha reported proposal of President
Koosevelt to 'certain .nrominent callers
- recently that tha executive head of the
federal government be given power to
j . pat out of business corporations which
v tare found by the executive representa
' '4 Uvea to have violated tha laws. It has
i been ' alleged that ha proposes that the
-I law enable him to act on ex-parte
showings by his agents, without the
waiting for the action of the courts.
, A report has been circulated with
' considerable evidence of authenticity
( that he has srarued for such an altera-
tton' of the statutes, and has cited the
Incontrovertible fact that heretofore
the government has "busted" certain
trusts which have refused to remain
busted.
For instance, the Northern Securities
merger. Involving consolidation of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
waa broken by Attorney-Qeneral Knox,
1 f yet the two roads are exactly as firmly
-i welded todav as though the merger
ease bad net been won by tha govern
j ment.
The parter trust was smashed in St
Paul by Frank B. Kellogg for the gov
ernment and today the paper trust is
the most virile combination In the coun
' try, with a few exceptions. Prices of
paper are pushed upward with the
fame esse with which formerly they
were elevated.
It was tho same with tbe school
furniture trust, and it has been the
same with other trusts.
Annarently. the government has been
unable to compel one single trust to
remain killed notwHhstnndlng there

for 10 more. A forward pass and two

The Portland boys then did some
great work and kept the ball in Spo
kane's territory for the rest of the
game, Multnomah caught a Spokane
punt and returned it finally across the
field netted Multnomah 20 yards mora.
Portland was forced to punt, bpokana

Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 1 A com
parison of the first two weeks of
Knpxvllla as a "dry city." with Knox
ville when the saloon existed shows
soma Interesting figures.
With aaloone In Knoxville the num
ber of arrests on all charges ranged
fram 160 to 160 a week. The laat week
before saloons went out there were 150
arrests. During the first week of a
Hiiloonless city tha arrests totaled nine
ty, hut thla waa a IiIkIi flgura bocause
of the fact that a K'eat quantity of
liquor in Jugs was sold on October II,
the last dtv of the saloons.
Saturday night tliei, nlgut when there
ure usually about thirty arrests, there
wore but three.
The second week showed but thirty-
two arrests, oreB than one fourth the
number with alooiis. Thla moral
showing Is offset by the depleted fi
nances of tha cltv through fines. Con
sequently a plaJn drunk which for
merly cost about five dollars In the po
lice court, costs two or three times
that figure now.
Most of the buildings formerly occu

he said quickly.
"But I thought you might express an
opinion as to what effect the stringency
7 ventured the reporter again.
"Just got off the train. Don't know
much about the matter," came from the
criminal hunter.
Then the Chicago man known from
one end of tha world to the other moved
away from tha questioner. Tha re
porter followed.
"Thought you. might have something
to say as : to what effect tha present
conditions will have on crime," said the
reporter real quickly, almost running bis
words together.
"There is nothing doing, I told you.
I don't care to talk about crime or any
thing else. Good, riight." And he was
off to his room. Only ha didn't say good

STEALS HIS
OWII PURSE
Strange Coincidence of Man
Who Recovered Prop
erty From Thief.
From a Staff Correspondent
Warsaw, Nov. In real Ufa tha
long arm of coincidence often reaches
further than any novelist would dara
to make It go in fiction. Of that amas
ing proof haa Just been furnished at
Csenstpchowa, the Mecca of Polish pil
grims. Among them was Ivan Dlmo
witxky who had came a long distance
on his pious errand. While Tie was In
the church performing .his devotions
some thief In the crowd stole his purse,
containing all his money. He went to
one of tha priests and told him of his
troubles, and asked htm for money
enough to take him back to his home.
"Alas." replied the priest. "I have
no money to give you. You bad better
try to find the thief."
"To find among thousands a man
I don't know would require a miracle
and I am no miracle worker," .anewered
Ivan. "Perhaps, holy father, you could
work the miracle for me?"
The priest protested that he had no
such power.
Then," said Ivan, "I shall go back
Into the church and steal the money 1
need from somebody, the first chance I
get."
"If you do that." said the priest, "you
will be a very wicked man and ought
to be aent to prison for It. and the
church would Impose a heavy sentence
on you, too."
But Ivan thought he might have as
much luck as the thief who had robbed
him and escape detection. Back he
went to the church. Seeing a man with
his wallet on his back he slipped his
hand into it and pulled out a nurse.
It was his own purse and it contained
the exact sum which he had left In It I
In his. delight Ivan gave no thought
to turning the man over to Justice. Ho
hurried Jubilantly back to the priest
end told him be had recovered his
stolen money. "Surely," he said, "It
must have been Providence that guided
me."
The perplexed priest Imposed no pen
ance on him and Ivan went his way rejoicing.
