SEATTLE, September 28.-The Seat
tie Daily News, one OF three afternoon
papers of this city, with Edwin S. Gill
as editor and manager, has suspended
publication. At least, it's Sunday edi-
ton will not appear tomorrow, and it
is doubtful if there will be another
issue, as an application for a receiver
was made late this afternoon showing
an Indebtedness of upwards of $40. 900.
Various local capitalists, among others
Charles E. Shepherd and James A.
Moore, according to report, have from
time to time given the paper, which
never had been paying venture, f.
nancial support.
Mr.. Gill was editor of the now de-
funct Honolulu Republican in 1901 and
afterward practised law here for
short time. Two or three years ago it
was reported he stood well to make

ing to blackmai Raymond Hitchcock
the actor. that plan to extort money
had also been devised against Villa n
| Astor Chanler, the millionaire polit
clan. According to the police who ar
rested Voecks, the prisoner admitted
that he had hoped to get money from

Voecks himself admitted tonight he
had, made repeated attempts to see
Chanler and Hitchcock Although he
lad had several interviews with the
actor, he had never been able to see
the millionaire personally.
The "Chanler" mentioned in the
conversation overheard by the detec-
tives in Hitchcock's dressing groom in
the Astor theatre on Saturday night
when they arrested Voecks, was Will
linn Astor Chanler, and his name was
also coupled in the stories told by
Voecks to Hitchcock in his effort to
get a large sum of money from the
actor.
The story that Voecks was repeat
to Hitchcock in the presence of the
police had to do with the case that

stories concerned alleged automobile
trips made by the girls with Hitchcock
