MAYOR GILL Gets
GLAD HAND FROM
SEATTLE WOMEN
Declares Before Federal In
dustrial Relations Com
mission That He Is in
Favor of Equal Suffrage.

Seattle, Aug. suffragists ap-
plauded loudly today when Mayor
Hiram c. Gill in testifying before the
federal industrial relations commits
sion made his initial declaration in
favor of woman suffrage. Votes of
women, the mayor had testified a few
minutes previously, did much toward
his recall three years ago. He also
added that at one time he was OPP
posed to suffrage.
Are you favorable to It now ~
Commissioner O'Connell asked.
Il am" responded the mayor smil-
ing.
The applause followed.
When it had subsidized the mayor de-
clared he believed the votes of women
had resulted in cleansing politics here.
Under no circumstances, the mayor
said would he designate special police
to act during labor troubles unless
the chief of police requested them.
Then he would select the police staff,
the mayor added. He also would dis
arm every union or non-union mem
Der who threatened trouble during a
strike.
The mayor insisted several times
that the labor problems of the north
west were different from those of the
east.
Back east you have capitalists who
can't recognize that there is any one
except themselves and laborihg men
who are ignorant" he declared.
For this reason, he continued he
could not attempt to outline general
plan for settling labor differences in
all parts of the country.
e. w. Olson, state commissioner oil
labor, followed Mayor Gill on the
stand.

new HIGH MARK
MADE BY WHEAT
December Option Goes UP
to $1.31-S Sharp Advances
on Provision Market.

Chicago, Aug 10.-All speculative OPP
tions In wheat rose today to a higher
point than at any time since the war
began. The advance exceeded cents
bushel compared with Saturday
night. Announcement that the govern
ments of Belgium and England were
guaranteeing war risks on imports
from the United States had much to
do with the jump in prices. Doubt,
however, that Canadian duties would
be removed, led to some wavering at
the outset. Opening quotations, which
varied from lie lower to "A up, were
soon followed by gains all around, with
no stop until December had reached
$1.31 and May $1.11.
A big increase in the visible supply
led afterward to a reaction. The close
was unsettled at 2@2S net advance.
Corn broke sharply. but made a quick
rally. 1t was found that rain relief in
the drought region had been far from
sufficient. After starting 19s @3M
lower, the market overcame the whole
decline and then climbed as much as
a full cent in some cases.
oats swayed with corn. Changes in
price, however, were only moderate.
Higher prices for hogs carried the
provision market straight upward.
First transactions ranged from 15@50c
dearer than Saturday and there was no
sign of any important reaction.
Prices later fell back when wheat
failed to hold to top figures. The close
was steady but 7s @1%c net lower

NO PUBLICATION OF
THE CASUALTY LISTS

Paris. Aug. 1O,-In order to prevent
the German army staff obtaining an
inkling of the movements of French
troops the French government has for
hidden the publication of casualty lists.
A special office is to be opened in
Paris. where inquiries made by the
families of the soldiers will be an
swered but the only information given
will be that the soldier has been killed
or wounded in battle or does not appear
on the lists of killed or wounded.
