'WAPPY' IS FIRED;
REAPPO|NTED
Seattle Agog Over Latest
Move in Police
Scandal.

Seattle, Sept. 3O.-Mayor Gill re-
appointed Chief of Police Wappen
stein today. Wappenstein was re-
moved yesterday by Acting Mayor
Wardall.
Wappenstein was removed from
office by Acting Mayor Max War
dali at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, two hours before Mayor H. c
Gill arrived home
1t was the last official act of Mr..
Wardall before retiring from the
position of acting mayor. The rea-
son given for the removal of Wap-
penstein was gross neglect of duty.
The order of removal and the
statement of reasons were filed with
Secretary A. H. GrOut, of the civil
service commission, and duly stamp
ed with the hour and minute of their
receipt.
Convinced Chief Is Untitled.
Max Wardall said last night that
his investigation of the police de-
partment during the last two weeks
had convinced him that Wappenstein
was untitled for the position of
chief The acting mayor also be-
lieved that the investigation under
taken by the city councils commit
tee would have a better chance to
produce results if Wappenstein were
removed.
Gill Said He Would Act.
Mayor Gill returned to the city
last night from his vacation ana
again took the reins of office.
Asked what he would do about
Wappenstein. the mayor said:
IF Wappy has been mixed up in
graft, I'll fire him. Make no mis-
take about that. | want to look in
to these things myself. I've heard
in outline what has taken place, and
if there is any foundation for the
charges against the chief of police,
I'll cut him off at the pockets.
Il am in hearty sympathy with
any fair investigation of the men
connected with the city government.
So far as | am personally concerned
| know nothing of any system
whereby lawbreakers have received
police protection. However, II 1t Is

Prices Fluctuate in Narrow
Limits-Do Not Advance

Irregular And Practically
Unchanged
SPOT NEWS is BULLISH

New York, February u.-With the New
York cotton exchange to be closed to-
morrow, while Liverpool and New Or
leans are to remain open as usual, the
day was very quiet, and chiefly in the
way of evening up of accounts, while
prices fluctuated irregularly within a
range of about 10 points. The close was
steady, net higher to points lower.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 3 to points on the active
months, while November was point low

cables were rather better than due, and
overnight spot adyices were bullish, but

of a two-day adjournment. and after sell
ing up to 10. 05c for May, or about points
net higher, the market turned easier I'M

Reports of more rainfall in Texas than
suggested by the official map may have
inspired a little local selling for short
account, as the market eased off, but at
no time daring the day was there any
aggressive pressure against prices, and
after reacting to IA CSC for May, or
points under the closing figures of last
night, the market rallied few points In
the late trading on continued reports OF
a strong southern spot situation and a
better trade demand. Last prices were
net unchanged to points higher on ac-

Rumors were circulated during the day
that further sales amounting to about 5000
bales had been made from the local stock
for shipment to New York state or Canad-
Ian mills. Southern spot markets Of

CLOSE rs AT Low POINT
In Spite of Heavy Offerings In Corn

Almost Unchanged-oats Low

Chicago. February 1.-Grain prices fell
off generally today, corn and oats. how
ever, showing more initial frmness than
wheat. Provisions had an upward trend,
Influenced by estimates of a large short
age of product, pork touching s22 S5 at
the outset.
Trading in the wheat pit was tame to-
day, covering trades at the outset Civ

session. Prices moved within narrow
limits and the offerings by longs were
sufficient to keep the market on a down
grade and discourage traders from load.

the board opens again. May fell off
from s1.115s to 81 .1o7s. the other futures
taking a similar course. The close was
steady on the low levels, with May at
81 .110D1 .111s, A@3sc lower than the final
figures yesterday.
A rush Of early buying of shorts crowd
ed prices on corn h-cent at the open
ing to nearly Saturdays close. Offering
became greater in the volume and the
market dragged later, May sagging from
674c to 669sc; other futures journeyng
down with the nearby month. At the
close May stood at 667sc, a shade higher
than the final quotation yesterday. July
finished unchanged and September a shade
off from yesterdays close.
Prices moved within narrow limits in
the oats pit, the market shaping itself
after corn and wheat with a similar
temporary strength on covering trades
early and a general depression later The
fluctuations were closer than either of the
grains, being bounded by sc to hc, May
touching 4714c and dragging to 46ssc. The
close was nearly at the low point, with
May at 1910, unchanged from yesterday S
finishing mark.
Provisions showed great strength
throughout the session, pork touching a
top record price of $2.S5 at the outset
and keeping close to the high figures to
the finish at 1921 record close. Buy
ing was induced in the provision pit
by analysis of recent estimates showing
large shortage of products In the coun-
try and packing interests were credited
with buying largely. Lard and ribs
shared in the advance.
Closing prices for the May products:
Pork, $3.50, 1712c higher; lard. s12 400
L. 4219, 1O@121sc higher; ribs, s12. 071s, 171ac
