UNITED PRESS LHAssn WHEEL

Washington, Sept. 24.-A number
or cities of the Pacific coast are be-
ing investigated today by experts to
ascertain whether the census returns
were padded. Among the cities un-
der investigation are Seattle, Taco
ma, Portland, Spokane, Bellingham.
Berkeley, Los Angeles, Oakland.
Pasadena and few more ambitious
communities.
Mr.. Durand, who is directing the
census, admitted that experts are in
the field, and that he has issued a
blanket order to cover all Pacific
coast cities so no one may ascertain
just what cities are under suspicion.
San Francisco is Lot one of them, as
Durand said that he would be in a po-
sftion to announce it's population
within two or three weeks.
While there have been numberless
vague hints that certain coast cities
got enthusiastic and counted the
strangers within the gates, no direct
charges have been brought against
any of the communities by the Off
cials. 1t is probable, however, that
the census men naturally grew eau
tious when they began to figure the
various percentages of growths of
western cities, which, it is admitted,
have been astounding.

The autopsy physician made an ex-
animation of the body to determine
the cause of death. The coroner be-
gan to gather the threads of evil
dence to sustain the result of the
physicians examination and detec-
tives from the central station busily
sought witnesses who might shed
light on the case.
Acting on the theory that the
story told detectives by Ben Gordon,
80, who, disgruntled he says because
DR.. James Grant, had refused to
pay him SIS said to be due him,
gave the first intimation of the trag-
edy disclosed when detectives and
officers from the coroner's office uu-
der the flickering light of lanterns,
tore away the cement and found the
body of a girl.
Gordon's story, as told to the pO-
lice, says that the girl went to DR..
Grant for an operation; that she
died on the operating table; that the
doctor became frightened and decid-
ed to get rid of the body. A small
house on Eureka street was rented,
the story continues, the body was
put into a trunk, the joints first be-
ing sawed through so that they
might be crumpled up to fit its
cramped resting place. Gordon
says the doctor took the trunk to
the house, that he sawed a hole in

Director Dunrand stated that he
did not believe the investigation
would reveal anything of a scandal
Gus nature" and even if fraud was
detected, the public would never
learn anything of it.
Taken all in all, the Pacific coast
may regard itself as being under
mild" suspicion, and, as a result, all
cities Of the Northwest and of Cali
fornia will be inspected more closely
and carefully than their slower grow
ing sisters of the East.

T. c. BELL s OPINION
States Some OF the Reasons for not
Calling an Election

Every one knows the snti-local
option forces are ready to spend
almost any amount to attack the
validity OF local option election
should it go against them, and to
take the advantage of any tech
nicality to invalidate the action of
the Board of County Commission
ers in calling such election.
In veiw of these facts it would be
folly for the board to authorize an
election at the expense OF $500,
with the probability that they
would have to spend several thou
sand more to defend their action
should the anti-local option forces
loose.
We can name at least two min
listers who remarked that unless we
were sure the petitions were all
right we had better deny the ap-
plication.
The petitions were badly gotten
up, there being almost 800 names
which were either, without address,
signed by some one else, on paper
not originally attached to the petit
ton or whose full names were not
signed as required by law.
The atfidavits of Mr.. Armfeld
and Mr.. Prater that they know
each and every signature to be
that of legal voter were not good
because they did not circulate all
the petitions and it was found that
a number of those signing were
not legal voters.
might further state that had we
considered the petitions legal be-
yond even a reasonable doubt we
would have ordered the election.
