While sitting in the living room , of his home, alone, laat nlsrht. Cantata and former Chief of Police John T. Sullivan was shot! through the right lung by an assassin who tired through a window. While In a serious condition, hospital physicians reported today that Sulli van haa passed a good night and that his chance, of recovery was fairly good. Bullivan was able to .make a statement In which he declared he would recover. The shooting occurred at 8:45 o'clock last night. According to marks on a by the fence when he fired. The blinds . of the .windows were up and the room brilMantly lighted. Cutting a clean hole In the pane, another In the lace curtain and a third In the chair back, the bullet passed through Sullivan's back and right lung, and then out, dropping upon the floor. The captain picked it up, called for help, and then telephoned to the police station. - No clue as to the Identity of the man who did the shooting has been found. jeignoors neara a man running aown the street Immediately after the shot was heard, but that la all.

List of Suspects. In a statement last night Captain Bullivan charged that those who had made the fight to rembve him as chief of police were responsible for the shooting, through publishing attacks upon his conduct of the police depart ment while chief. The police are in clined to the theory, however, that the shooting was the act of some released convict or other party with whom Sul livan In his career had official rela tions. City detectives are on the look out for a man named Hanlcy, who shot Sullivan In a personal encounter nearly JO years ago. Hanley at the time was one of the most desperate men in the northwes:. He swore that he would "ccf Sullivan on his release. At the end pf seven years the prison authori ties wanted to parole Hahtay but be cause of a protest entered by Sullivan he was made to stay there two ycflrs longer Hanley is said to have been leen here whln the past few days. Spokane. Jan. 6 At 10 a. m.. today, u i Julius Tannen. Julius Tannen, the "human magpie,' whose, oral Volleys, hays been provok lng mirth at the Orpheum this week, has a page of life history that is al most unbelievable. It tells of that part of his career that was under the guidance of 3. Ogden Armour, the multi-millionaire Chicago packer. Strange as it may seem just before taking up the existence of a vaudeville chatter box, Tannen was secretary to the pack er. That was eight years ago. When serving as private secretary to Mr. Armour, Tannen's ambition first struck the stage tangent. One night, on a dare, he gave imitations of actors at the Great Northern theatre. So great was his success that he quit Mr. Armour within a short time and took to the stage, doing monologue stunts. Tannen talks like a rapid fire gun shoots fast and furious. On and off the stage It is the same. His mouth works incessantly. His friends say that Tannen chatters in his sleep.

Wapler, superintendent of the city garbage crematory, the Incinerat ing plant built by the Public Works Construction company, has thus far utterly failed to meet requirements. Taa six months' official test began Decem ber 2t and Superintendent Napier has filed wiu. the city health officer re ports covering the first eight days of the test These show that the plant has burned an average of but 8S tons a day, including all kinds of refuse, but, according to Superintendent Naplef a reports, the contractor ha vtf refused to receive a certain class of refuse. The reports show that the cost of In cineration has been ' more than double that guaranteed by the contractors. .January 2, 100 tons of refuse were consumed at an average cost per. ton of J1.01. The contractor's guarantee was is cents. January 8, 72 tons were burned at an average cost of 1.56, The contractor's guaranteed cost was 66 cents per ton. .anuary 4, 77 tons were burned at an average cost of $1.46 per ton. The con tractor's guaranteed cost was 66 cents. In estimating the cost of Incineration Superintendent Napier figured In the services of four men employed by the contractor but not on the city's payroll. The reports of the superintendent are made on specially prepared crematory (est sheets. The results of the superin tendent's observations are supposed to be filled In. But although the health board at Its last meeting ordered pay ment of the second Installment of the contract price of the Incinerating plant accepting the city engineer's statement that the plant Is completed In all essen tial details, Superintendent Napier's written remarks show that this is not the case. For Instance, unner the heading, "Water gauge readings forced and natural draft" appears the following: "Not Installed for testing at these points." 1 Under the heading, "Inside tempera ture at base of stack." Superintendent Napier has written: "No means of testing at these points." "Machine does not record." "lack of Instruments, no record," and similar re marks appear under the varioua head ings of the test sheet reports. In view of these reports the question arises whether the plant is completed "in all essential details?" Can a proper test be made without the Installation of the Instruments Superintendent Napier says are lacking? Recently the huge chimney stack of the plant has developed six large cracks at the base. Engineer F. P. Smith of the contracting firm says these cracks are not serious. City Engineer Morris has made no official report of their existence.

Mr. Kerr Is staying at the Hotel Oregon. "If high meat prices continue," he continued, "the American peo ple probably will eventually largely quit eating meat, for It Is undoubtedly true that during the last two years of"'hlgh prices, the demand has fallen off appallingly, but at the same time the supply is lessened because grazing land is becoming scarce and wages and other expenses make the stock raising business less profitable.
