C0TTRElL's VOTE
TO GUT Bis FIGURE
May Determine Who'll Be New Presi.
dent of School Board-Said To
Favor DR.. Kuhn.

The election OF a president Of the
school board this year apparently
hinges on the vote OF one man, Eber
w. Cottrell. the newest member OF the
body. Mr.. Cottrell himself was men,
toned for the place at one time, but
because OF his unfamiliarity with
board OF education matters the boom
fiattened out. Now the administration
members are talking q second term
for DR.. Charles F. Kuhn, not because
they like him, but because they are
afraid he will help the ants elect one
of their many available candidates II
they turn him down.
Mr.. Cottrell Is reported TO have said
that he would vote for Kuhn and his
vote would give the doctor a majority
OF one, provided the present lineup re-
mains intact. One or two OF the ad-
ministrationists have declared. how
ever, that they would not vote for
Kuhn again under any circumstances,
they will fall into line when the
screws are put on.
On the other side. Inspectors Num-
ford, Robertson and Burton are men
toned and 1t is certain that one OF
the three will be put up in opposition
to the machine candidate. Mr.. Bur
ton said this morning that he would
be candidate II asked. provided there
was any reasonable chance for his
election. Mr.. Mumford and Mr.. Robert
son are both willing to make the run,
and no matter which one Is chosen
the other will support him. The ants
will get together soon for confer
ence on the situation and will then
decide on their candidate.

Hubby Uses Wash Basin As Weapon
and Wife q Rocking Chair.


With household utensils as their
weapons, John III. Dierkes and wife
engaged I'm q spirited combat In their
home, Wednesday evening. The result
was the arrest OF Dirkes by Patrol
man Franklin Smith and the appear
ance OF the man In police court,
Thursday morning.
The testimony showed that John II.
started proceedings by playfully
bouncing a wash basin of his spouse's
head. She retaliated with a we'll
directed smash from a chair. Then he
seized a nine-inch vase. He struck
her over the head with that and
broke four inches of It,
He still had five inches to spare
and he made another rush at her.
She defended herself with a rocking
chair. He locked all the doors and
she screamed murder three times,
bringing police and neighbors to the
rescue.
This IL the third time Dirkes has
been arrested. Police Justice Stein
adjourned the case until Monday.

SHUBERTS CORNER "0NE
NIGHT STAND" THEATERS
They Take interests In Half Dozen
Circuits In the Middle West
and South.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The Shuberts
have cornered the "one night stand"
theatrical business of the entire coun-
try, according to an announcement
made today by their local representa-
tive.
A deal has been completed by which
the Shuberts take over half interest
in the Chamberlain, Harrington, and
Kindt circuit OF theaters In Illinois
and Iowa. 1t Is reported that they
paid Mrs. Frank Chamberlain S750.000
for her interest.
Besides the Chamberlain circuit the
Shuberts announce that they have
purchased the Schloss circuit in the
south and the Maurice jerks circuit
of lat theaters in Minnesota, Iowa
and Nebraska.
These circuits together with those
gained by their alliance with John
Kort. julius Kahn, Jake Wells and
other magnates give the 'independ-
ents" 1,147 theaters outside OF the
large cities where they were already
we'll established. They say the Syn
dictate" now controls only 1913 small
show houses outside Of the cities.

1RRE3PoNs1BLE COUNTY OFFICIALS

Some time ago it was discovered that thousands OF
dollars in fines due King county had never been paid
and equally as many that had been paid by the per-
sons against whom they had been lodged,
count of the money had been made to the proper au
thorities and investigation one could be found
who was responsible for the negligence Recently l57
slot machines that had been sezed by the sheriff and
taken to the court house to be held for evidence and
subsequently for conscaton quietly disappeared from
the court house and like the fines seems to be
Irresponsible for them. No one seems to know who
took them away, when they were taken away or how
they were taken away. Thus things drag along at
the county court house with giving tinker's
dam one way the other.
The county records may be correct or they may not
be- If fine is assessed against law breaker it may
be paid it may not be, and it is not especially II the
person fined has any political pull II it is paid it may
be properly recorded it may not be and it is not If
the official to whom it is paid desires to swell his par
ticular account and make big showing for election
purposes The question is has King county the most
irresponsible bunch of officials of any county in the
state? But few months ago prisoner got lost in
the shuttle and he had been in jail six months or more
without ever having been arragned. Subsequently
one or two were discharged without due of law
Is it not time that the various county officials stop try
ing to each run little business of his and each
report to the other what's doing? Some body among
the officials ought to have the affairs of the county
from stem to gudgeon at his fingers end and to keep
it so every county official should report to him.
Whoever is responsible for those slot machines be-
ing taken from the court house without legal authority
ought be prosecuted for the to the full extent
