COTTERILL MAYOR
 OF SEATTLE, WASH.

Seattle, Wash. March 6.-In the cleo ton yesterday of George r. Cotterill as mayor of Seattle, socialist strongholds rolled up majorites for Cotterl, who was elected by 665 votes over Hiram C.. Gill. The socialist mayoralty candidate having been eliminated in the primary the party's vote went largely to Cotterill who is a single tax advocate.
 A propositions authorizing the municipal telephone system carried, but munici- pal newspaper project was defeated as were all socialist candidates.
 Cotterill, the mayor-eect, Is widely known as the national head of the Inde- pendent Order of Good Templars. He also has national prominence as prohi- btion speaker.
 When the campaign following the pri- maries of February 20 was begun, no practical politician here thought that Cotterill had chance to win, owing 10 his views in favor of single tax, muni- cipal ownership and prohibition. In the last week, however, the fight became repetition of that of last year, when Gill was recalled from the office of mayor by the votes of the newly enfranchised wo- men.
 The women and the churches took an active part yesterday, asserting Gills election would mean the restoration of the gambling and vice districts.

] MORE CHICAGO
 OFFICERS DROPPED

Chicago, March 6.-One police sergeant discharged from the Chicago police force as the final act of the investigation of the police department by the civil service commission which was begun at the re- quest of Mayor Harrison six months ago.
 Evidence showing cooperation between the department and organized vice and gambling was introduced by the com mission and the various trials resulted in the abolition of the office of police inspector and the discharge of four in- spectors, two captains and six lieuten- ants. Captain Plunkett resigned while awaiting trial.
 High police officials were attacked with the beginning of the investigation. The en. suing 'shakeup' was one of the most severe ever known in the police de- pertinent in an American city Charges against an inspector, a captain and three lieutenants opened the campaign. Events followed in rapid succession, involving every police division in the city. Vo- lumjnous evidence was introduced, in- tended to show widespread system of cooperation between the police and the recognized vice districts in the city.
 A result of the testimony before the committee showing the impunity with which illegal establishments operated was the issuance of orders by the may closing several places and limiting the sale of liquor in the vice districts, except in licensed places.

VERMILYA TRIAL
 MAY BE POSTPONED

Chicago, March 6.-Mrs. Louis Yer milya probably will not go on trial here tomorrow on the charge of mur- dering Policeman Arthur Bissonette, as had been planned. She Is accused of having poisoned him while he was a boarder at her home
 The prosecution, it Is reported to- night, will first ask Judge Kersten to continue the case. Failing in this, it is said the Bissonette case will be dis missed and the arrest of the woman sought on another charge.
 The sudden switch in the plans Is due to q report which was current to- day that Bissonette was taking a med icine containing arsenic a short time before he died. Mrs. Vermilya was to be accused of poisoning him with ar senic.
 Mrs Vermilya has been in jail for several months. She is partly par alyzed and is confined to wheel chair. She has insisted on an immediate trial.

ID HOLD MICHIGAN
 PRIMARY IN JUNE
Quick Action Will Be Neces- sary to Make Measure
 Lawful

Lansing, Mich, March 6.-The house of representatives this afternoon laid aside Governor osborn's presidential preference primary bill and substituted the Lord Bill, which provides for a primary next June, eight days before the republican national convention, instead of on April 1 as the original bill provided
 An attempt to pass the bill at once, in order to send it to the senate for i'm mediate consideration, failed and the house adjourned until tomorrow.
 Governor Osborn said after the vote:
 Ut Is more defeat for the people than 1t is for me. Their concessions of a June primary mean something, however. D
 If the Lord bill Is passed by both houses 1t will be necessary for the leg islature to adjourn on Friday in order to provide the required 90 day period be- tween adjournment time and June To, the date fixed for the primary.
 The Lord bill provides for ballot which will simply allow the vgters to express their preference for President and vice president. Delegates to the national convention are to be selected by state conventions as usual, and these delegates are expected to vote in accordance with the preference expressed at the primary
 It will require rapid work in order to carry out the machinery provided. The law, 1t is planned, will go into effect Friday, June ', and at o'clock on that day the candidates desiring a place on the ballot must file a petition containing the names of 200 enrolled voters from each congressional district. Between that hour and Monday morning the secretary of state must certify to the election boards all over the state the names of those candidates who have qualified. The boards must meet, prepare the ballots, have them printed, and distribute them to the election places by the time the polls open Monday morning.
 Opponents of the Lord measure insist that the governors message converting the special session is not broad enough to allow any changes to be made In the gen. eral primary election law, and they are preparing a new bill which they will at tempt to substitute for the Lord bill tomorrow. They declare the governor sim ply proposed a presidential primary law, not a revision of the present primary system
 The primary bill was not carried in the senate today.

SALE OF FERTILIZER
 TAGS SHOWS GAIN

Montgomery, March 6.-(SpeciaI)- Wednesday was the banner day for the sale of fertilizer tags by the state agrl- cultural and industrial department. In the neighborhood of 5000 was taken in by the department from this source, which is believed to be the largest sale for any one day in the history of the department
 According to Commissioner Kolb or the agricultural department the sale of tags heretofore as been small owing to the bad condition of the weather, which has prevented farmers from be- ginning their crops. Captain Kolb is now expecting that the sale of tags will continue large, inasmuch as warm CT weather is promised within the near future.

 As furnishing a possible motive, the police are said to have discovered today that Grace had recently had his life in- sured for $25,O00, naming his wife as the beneficiary.
