Wanted No WlGeOpen Town and
Got Rid Of Official Who
Tried to Run It So.
RECALL ACCOMPLISHED TRICK
Women Took Case to Court and
Then Carried on Effective
Election Campaign.

SEATTLE, Washington, February 8.
Because he undertook to run Seattle
as wideopen town, Mayor Hiram @.
Gill was yesterday defeated in special
election brought about through the ex-
ercise of the recall provision in the
city charter, George w. Dilling. the
candidate of the Public Welfare
League, defeating him.
The petition for the recall of Mayor
Gill was signed largely by the women
voters of the city and it was due to 4
very large extent to the share the
women took in the campaign and the
voting that the former mayor was de-
feated at the polls.
The efforts to oust Mayor Gill have
been in progress for some weeks. it
being first necessary to test the RIGHT
of recall clause in the courts. iniu1e-
tion proceedings having been brought
70 restrain the fling of the recall petit
The results desired to be brouobt
about by those working for the defeat
of the mayor were outlined in tbs
election platform of Dilling, who said.
If am elected mayor it shall he

conditions.
The executive has no right to have
policy on any subject that runs coun-

ordinances of the city,
Mr.. Dilling also pledges himself to
develop the municipal light and power
plant to its full capacity.

RAPID TRANSIT To
FIT AIR BRAKES
AND DRIVERS SEATS

The Honolulu Rapid Transit Company
have schemes on foot for the introduc-
tion of air brakes on all the cars. Sew
eral bids have been received and these
will go before the next meeting of the
directors for consideration. The change,
if it is made, win mean greater safety
for the vehicular and pedestrian traffic
in the streets and will also mean that
the men will be able to handle their
cars much more easily. At present the
narrowness of the streets mean that
the motorman has to be continually on
the lookout and even then a vehicle
might slip round corner and in front
of his car before he has time to do
anything. The offer to install the brakes
is an entirely voluntary one on the
part of the company and is being done
simply because they feel that the time
is at hand when the service needs the
improvement.
The men are also in for another
change which will be much appreciated
amongst them. Mortimer seats are to
be installed in all the cars and instead
of having to stand up all day long they
will now have chance of resting their
| legs. The seats are not armchairs, but
they are a great relief to those who
have to stand at their work all day
They are here now and will be installed
in a short time.

.H0NORS FOR THE
CHICAGO TRIPPERS
Federal Officials and ConsuIs to
Greet Them Here and in
the Orient.

Secretary of State Knox will request
the secretary of war and the secretary
of the interior to detail representatives
of those two departments in Hawaii to
welcome and extend all courtesies pos
sible to the Chicago Association of
Commerce excursionists, who are to
arrive here on or abont March 2S from
Seattle, on the big steamship Mime
sofa.
The secretary of state has informed
the Chicago association that it will
not be possible to detail representa-
tive of the government to accompany
the excursionists on their long voyage
across the Pacific and return, but will
see that it all places in the Orient they
will be met by diplomatic and consular
representatives of the American gov
ernment, and in Honolulu by an army
officer and a federal officer appointed
under the department of the interior.
Secretary of State Knox made known
his plans with reference to the party
in the following letter, dated January
IA, and addressed to President Harry
A. Wheeler, of the Chicago Association
of Commences: j..
Senator Cullom has brought to the
attention of the department the con
tents of the letter which you addressed
to him on January z, and has strongly
recommended aequiescence with the de,
sires of your association as therein ex.
pressed.
"The department notes that a dele.
CATION from the association will make
trip to Honolulu, the Philippines
Japan and China between March II
and June 6 of this year, and would like
the federal government to have a rep
resentative with the delegation in re-
sponse to its courteous invitation which
/ now beg to acknowledge.
I'm reply l have pleasure in inform.
ing you that the department of state
will be very happy to detail, in China
and also in Japan, a consular officer
familiar with the language and condi-
tiOns of the respective countries who,
it is hoped, viii be able to be of great
use to the members of the association
The department will be happy also to
instruct the diplomatic and consular
officers in China and Japan to extend
to the delegation all proper courtesies
and facilities Please give me in due
time fuller particulars as to the mum
ber of the party and as to the exact
itinerary. Thereupon, in connection
with the arrangements above men
toned, this department viii be happy
also to request the secretary of wal
and secretary of the interior to give
the necessary instructions for similar
facilities in the Philippines and in Ho,
nolulu.
"You win at once perceive that to
detail officers familiar with the coun.
tries visited will be far more practical
than to attempt to designate an officer
to accompany tho party from the Uni.
ted States, which, moreover, would be
for other reasons impracticable at this
time. 4"
