#. A. Seaman Makes Statement.
Alderman Il. A. Seaman, who was
used by thu Democratic organization
I'm introducing the measure by which
the Democrats selected a vice presi-
dent and acting mayor, makes q
clear statement of affairs to-day. He
explains the situation and In con-
ltluding his missive says he was de-
! ~lfberately deceived by James s..
Wight and William ID. Voorhees,.
His statement follows:
ITO THE EVENING NEWS:
Gentlemen:-You have asked my
views on the question OF who Is the
legal acting mayor. Trying to state
1t in as few words as possible 1t Ia
as follows: 1t Is a question where
lawyers have disagreed, and az far
as I know the courts have not made
a lewiston. Our city attorney told Mr..
tVoorhees when be was afderman-at-
large that he was acting mayor. Mr.
| Wight takes the side that Mr. Dali
ton will be acting mayor II he quail
lffies. The question is too important
to take snap Judgment on--and the
future of the city would be better
guarded by taking time to arrive at
q solution that would cover both
points, until the matter could be set
tiled by the legislatures OF the courts.
To show the way the legislature
looks at the matter we find they
passed q law last year and Gov
ernor Wilson signed It making the
ialderman-at-large acting mayor in
case OF death or disability OF the
/ mayor. That does not quite cover
our case but 1t does show that the
legislature and governor think the
alderman at large is the proper off,
Ger to perform the duties. II also
shows that in case there Is any
doubt of the construction Of the law
the legislature is ready to make IT.
plain.
In our past history assessments
for street improvements have been
held up for two years to suit the
views of the city authorities, and
certainly they can be held up for a
few weeks until the legislature can
act. My belief is that If either Mr..
Garretson or Mr.. Dalton act inde-
pendent of each other, there will be
a doubt of the legality OF their acts.
III / had known about this question,
u would have worked for a mutual
agreement and Ii it was thought
best to have a vice president, would
have urged the election OF a man
who would promise to sign such
papers as the alderman5at-large
wished to sign and no others, and
have both signatures on all papers
that were meant to have the sigma !
ture Of the mayor: then go to the
legislature as soon as possible.
I certainly would be ready to
make such promise and keep 1t. Now
as to the personal side of this ques-
ton. was told only a small part |
of the reason for eIecting a vice
president. and was deliberately de-
ceived BY Mr.. James s.. wight and
Mr.. w. d. Voorhees,.

CHANGE OF CAPTAINS.
Advices from the coast received Sat,
turday show the reason for changing
masters in the Hyades. The Call of
the Bird has the following:
The license of Captain John C.
Younggren was suspended for thirty
days yesterday by Supervising Inspec.
tor John X. Bulger. Captain Young
gren hit the bar with the steamer
Hyades off Double Point the night of
January "a. In accounting for the
accident Captain Younggren said that
he intended passing Point Reyes three
miles out to sea and that he was
thinking of three when he wrote down
the course "S6 degrees" instead of "76
degrees, which would have headed the
vessel out to sea instead of into the
land"
