MAYOR IS
STILL AT

RUMORED THAT "HIS'ONER"

WOODS-CHIEF DULEY PRO
CEEDING CAUTIOUSLY.


Mayor Linck is still unappre-
hended for that Saturday night
lark, when he is said to have
smoked cigaret at the Tacoma
hotel.
But it is believed that Chief
Duley is hot on his trail. The
chief was up ON the third floor of
the city hall disguised behind a
boutonnaire and a sort of inno-
cent smile this morning and he
went into the city attorneys Of

ing plans and getting advice as to
how to nab his honor. The chief
knows the record of the mayor
and is not taking any chances. He

ed with a gold headed cane for II
by the other members, so the
chief is proceeding with due eau
ton.
UP to date, however, the mayor
has eluded arrest. He was at his
office this morning awhile and
then he suddenly disappeared. He
may have gone to the grocers' pic
mic to get away from the cops.
Some coupe de tat by the police
department will have to be resort
ed to, 1t is said. II he is taken
alive as the mayor insists he is a
fighter from away back.
Anyway the mayor says the law
says "cigarets' and If a fellow
just smokes one he thinks that
will not be an infraction unless
4he had the "makings" in his pos
session. The mayor insists he
had no 'makings," so II they get
him he expects to crawl out Of II
on a technicality.
At any rate the mayor is still
at large.

OPPONENTS OF
HAY At WORK
IN OLYMPIA
Hatch Scheme In Legis-
lature to Prevent the
Removal of Insurance
Commissioners

(By United Press Leased Wirc.l
OLYMPIA, June 24.--Dc-
velopments In the Legislature
this morning Indicate that the
opponents of Governor Hay
have laid skillful parlia-
mentary trap, by springing
which they hope to prevent
the removal of State Insur.
ance Commissioners SchiyeIy.
The scheme Is to line up the sem
ate to insist upon impeachment
and to refuse to consent to the
adjustment of the office of insur-
ance commissioner, while at the
same time lining UP the house to
refuse to impeach, but to insist on
abolishing the office.
In this way leaders Of the anti
administration faction hope to
cause deadlock under which
nothing can be accomplished.
A Hard Blow.
The loss yesterday of the sem
ate organization was a sorry blow
to the governors adherents. This
was demonstrated In the senate
this morning when Nichols of
King, who favors continuing the
investigation of state offices, offer
ed a resolution combining the ses-
sion to dealing with the committee
report and the passing Of relief
bill.
The resolution received FL votes
to 10 cast against II, but Presi-
dent Ruth ruled that ii required
% votes, or a majority of all mem
bers elected to pass 1t. Appeal
was taken, but the decision on the
appeal was put over until this
afternoon. sF4
Nichols offered, also, resolu-
tion continuing the investigation.
but 1t, too, went over until tomor-
row.
Rival Forces Break Even.
Hutchinson of Spokane, who
has heretofore held with the Hay
forces, announced in debate that
he would vote against 1t, leaving
the rival factions again divided,
90 to 20.
The anti-investigation faction
In the senate has proposed q reso-
lution to scatter the investigation
by apportioning 1t among several
committees. the senate members
of which are to be named by
President Ruth. Adherents Of
Governor Hay refer to the plan as
one TO permit each official inves-
tigated to select his own commit
|tee."
To Limit Business.
The house this morning adopt
ED resolution limiting the special
session to matters presented In the
Investigation committee report,
legislation regarding the insurance
department. continuing the inves-
tigatton OF state offices, appropri-
alton bills to cover the expenses OF
the session, the Cosgrove funeral
bill and minor relief bills.
Palmer's bill labolishing the Of
flee of insurance commissioner
and creating an insurance commits
sion consisting of members of the
tax commission was introduced,
an dwill go upon passage this aft
ernoon.
The house has elected is en-
ployes, and the senate IA, about
one-third the number of the regu-
lar session.

Officers have been put upon the
trail of John T. Roberts, who was
last seen with the girl and who
disappeared after her death.
The neighborhood is aroused,
and the states attorney has de-
manded the arrest of Roberts.
The young woman was known
here by her maiden name, and
an unfounded rumor was circu-
lated this afternoon that she had
left her husband in California, ac-
companying Roberts to Maryland.
Advices from Los Angeles dis
proved this story.

Denies Elopement.
III. V. Woodill, brother of the
dead woman's husband, denied
that his sister-in-law eloped with
Roberts. He said that she accom-
panied his brother to Maryland.
Woodill returned to his home here
a few weeks later, and it was his
wife's intention to come back to
California within short time,
bringing her father and sister with
her.

talk is the high privilege of all resi-
