Spokane Stands for
Phone Reductions
Fopoed Franchise Makes Cut of 50
Cents Per Month, But Representative
Says Company May Hot Accept.
Spokane, Wash., Feb. 27. The city
council late today decided upon the
terms of the new franchise to offer to

proposes to reduce rates 50 cents a
month all around, to give ten year
franchise, and provides that the city
may purchase- the plant and system
any time. Charles B. Hopkins of Seat
tle, representing the company, said he
did not balieve his company would ac
cept, since the Home Telephone com
pany, in which the Pacific was a heavy
stockholder, had purchased the Pacific
holdings here, and intended to oper
ate under the Home franchise, a much
more favorable franchise, which con
tinues till 1940. By referendum vote
the people rejected the Pacific fran
chise in November. That franchise
reduced rates and was otherwise more

will be started within a week. It will
have a capacity of 150,000 to 300,000

(Special to The Journal.)
Marshfield, Or., Feb. 27. On " a
charge of murder, Mr. and Mrs. Clar
ence Russell were arrested this after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Lalrd at their
home five'miles south of Myrtle Point.
It is alleged they are guilty of poi
soning Arthur ..Russell, brother of
Clarence, whose death occurred three
years ago, without any ' suspicion at
the time.
Sheriff Johnson has ordered the ar
rest of William Pentland at Coe.ur
d'Alene, Idaho, formerly a farm hand
at the Russell place, who gave tha
story of the murder to the officials.
Mrs. Russell denies all accusation
of having any connection with
Arthur's death, and denies having been
intimate with Pentland, which . Pent
land alleges. Bail will not be allowed.
Russell and his wife will be taken in
an automobile to Coquill and put In
the county JaiL There are several
chidren in the famiy, and provision
is being made for their care.
Recently Pentland, made a sworn
statement to the officials and then
disappeared, and to support charges
of poisoning made by Pentland, Sheriff
Johnson twice opened the grave of
Arthur Russell and removed 'he or
gans, which were examined by Pro
fessor Harding of Portland. The re
sults of the examination, the official
say, is sufficient to make a case. It
is alleged that Russell was poisoned
by arsenic.
In his sworn statement, Pentlapd
alleges that he was intimate witn Mrs.
Clarence Russell, and that he made
trips with her to Marshfield and Kan
don. He says she believed that, her
husband was intimate with Mrs.
Arthur Russell, and gives that as
the reason for ill feeling between the
two families.
Pentland alleges that Mrs. Clarence
Russell used the poison with the in
tention of killing Mrs. Arthur. Russell,
but that the husband, instead of the
wife, got hold of the poison and was
killed. Investigations made by the
officers resulted in a murder charge
being placed against both Clarence
Russell and his wife.
Russell is about 40 years old, and
wife about 30 years of age.
