MAYOR IS oUSTED BY WOMEN

The women of Seattle, Wash, exer-
cising their political power for the
first time, recently ousted from office
Mayor Hiram G. Gill and elected as
his successor George w. Dilling. While
the women did not accomplish this
work alone, they were in a large
measure instrumental in bringing it
about, so much so that the result
would have been different had they
not voted. Gill was elected mayor of
Seattle year ago by majority of
$500. Women were then denied the
right Of suffrage, but in November
were clothed with that power. Almost
from the start Gill's administration
came in for sharp criticism.
AS soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move
ment to recall" Gill under a provi-
sion of the city charter and elect a
successor to serve the unexpired term
took form and the women entered
into the campaign with enthusiasm

staring at him without saying a word.
The persistence of his stare made
Howard squirnn. 1t was decidedly I'M
pleasant. He did not mind the deten-
ton so much as this mans overbear-
ing, bullying manner. He knew he was
innocent, therefore he had nothing to
fear. But why was this police captain
staring at him so? Whichever way
he sat, whichever way his eyes turned,
he saw this bulldog-faced policeman
staring silently at him. Unknown to
him, Capt. Clinton had already begun
the dreaded police ordeal known as
the third degree"

CHAPTER TX.

Fifteen minutes passed without
word being spoken. There was deep
silence in the room. 1t was so quiet
that once could have heard pin drop.
Had a disinterested spectator been
there to witness it, he would have
been at once impressed by the dra-
matte tableau presented-the dead
man on the floor, his white shirt front
spattered with blood, the cringing,
frightened boy crouching in the chair,
the towering figure of the police cap
tain sitting sternly cycling his hapless
prisoner, and at the far end of the
room Detective Sergeant Maloney
busy sending hurried messages
through the telephone.
what did you do it for?" Numbered
the captain suddenly.
Towards tongue Glove to his palate.
He could scarcely articulate. He was
innocent, of course, but there was
something in this mans manner which
made him fear that he might, after all,
have had something to do with the
tragedy. Yet he was positive that he
! was asleep on the bed all the time.
The question is, would anybody believe
him? He shook his head pathetically.
Il didn't do it. Really, l didn't
Shut your mouth! You're lying,
and you know you're lying. Wait till
the coroner comes. Well fix you"
Again there was silence, and now be-
gan long, tedious wait, both men re-
tanning the same positions, the cap
tain watching his prisoner as cat
watches a mouse.
Towards mental anguish was al
most uncomfortable. He thought of his
poor wife who must be waiting up for
him all this time, wondering what had
become of him. She would imagine
the worst, and there was no telling
what she might do. If only he could
get word to her. Perhaps she would
be able to explain things. Then he
thought of his father. They had quar-
relied, it was true, but after all it was
his own flesh and blood. At such
critical situation as this, one forgets.
His father could hardly refuse to come
to his assistance. He must get a
lawyer, too, to protect his interests.
This police captain had no right to de-
tain him like this. He must get word
to Annie without delay. Summoning
up all his courage, he said boldly:
"You are OBTAINING me here without
warrant in law. l know my rights.

What's your name?" growled the
captain.

"Son of Howard Jeffries, the bank

Howard nodded.
Yes
The captain turned to his sergeant.
Maloney, this Teller says he's the
son of Howard Jeffries, the banker"
Maloney leaned over and whispered
something in the captains ear. The
captain smiled grimly.
SO you're bad character, Ell? Fa-
Their turned you out of doors. Ell?
Where's that girl you ran away WITH"
Sharply he added: "You see I know
your record"
I've done nothing I'm ashamed Of"
replied Howard calmly. 81 married
the girl. She's waiting my return now.
Won't you please let me send her
messenger"
The captain eyed Howard sus-
piciously for moment, then he turned
to his sergeant:

The silent man of the United

Mr. Penrose and Mr.. Wetmore could

becomes wasteful prodigality meas

No sound heralds his approach as he

not sliding he is fitting. The only

Feet on q Street.

BY the purchase of the fve-story brick
building at 1905 G. street northwest by
A. Lisner. the palais Royal now owns
ali of the land on the north side of the
street between Tenth and Eleventh
streets excepting the lot upon which the
McLachlan Banking Company is build
ing its new banking home.
This frontage on q street, controlled
by Mr. Lisner, is of 155 feet. The recent
purchase was negotiated through Weaver
Bros for $4,000 last week. The property
known as the Scottish Rite Cathedral
was bought by Mr.. Lisner for sS5,GO
early in 1910.
Mr.. Lisncr intends to proceed with the
erection of an addition to the Palais
Royal building which will be identical
in outer architectural design with the
main building. This means that the
store floor space will be Increased by
nearly 60.e00 square feet
Latest Designs Sought.
While the properties upon which the
building will be erected do not exceed
1870 square feet, the gain is made by
excavation TO enlarge the basement and
by the additional space afforded by the
new dome.
While the designs for the exterior of
the new building are settled upon. the
arrangement of the interior is being care
fully studied by Mr.. Lisner, his superln-
tendent. and his architect.
II is the wish of Mr.. Lisner that all inn
provements known to the modern depart
ment store shall be present in the Palals
Royal To this end it is very likely that
personal examination OF the newest stores
in other large centers will be made under
Mr.. Lisner'S direction in order that all
the comforts to patrons as well as all the
facilities TO business may bc added.
Ready in September.
The estimated cost OF the new SiX-Story
addition is placed at sl50."o0. and it is hoped
that it will be ready for occupancy by
september /
1t is already decided that modern parcel
and package chute, arranged Sp;rally. will
be installed SO as to facilitate the rapid
assembling of delivery parcels in the ship
ping department. No pains or expense
will be spared 10 make the PalaiS Royal
in every sense one of the modern and
model department stores of the country.
This is but another of the many indica-
tionS of the growth of WaShinSton; and
no surer sign of the extension of the city
can be sought for than the enlargement
of the business houses by men who. like
Mir. LiSner. have contributed so much to
the business development of Washington.
