ELLIS CHIEF JUSTICE.
Gossip Says He Will he Chosen Head
Of Supreme Court.

Gossip among members of the
bench and bar indicates that Justice
o. G. Ellis, formerly of Tacoma, will
be elected chief justice when the
cour: reorganizes next January.
An unwritten law among the JUS
tees is that one of the retiring men,
bers shall preside. Justice Wallace
Mount, o. G. Ellis and John F. Main
will have to stand for reelection two
years hence, so the choice lies among
the three. Justice Mount has been
on the bench since 1901 and has twice
served as chief justice, SO in the mat
ter of ethics he has no claim for that
honor next year. Justice Ellis out
ranks Justice Main, so in the natural
course of events the honor is sched-
uled to go to Justice Ellis.

YANT|S OBJECTS TO
PUBLISHED REPORTS
PROSECUTOR RESENTS CHARGES
THAT HE FAILED TO KEEP
RECORDS PROPERLY.

| Published statements based on pur-
ported criticisms by the state bureau
Of inspection that Prosecuting Attor-
ney George F. Yantis had failed to
keep the records of mothers PEN
sions properly are vigorously resent
ed by that official as being untrue,
Mr.. Yantis contending that he had
furnished the county auditor with the
complete information required, either
in the court orders, judgments or
findings of fact in each case, and that
If there are any discrepancies or mis-
takes. they have been made by the
auditor and not by him.
An instance Of over-payment to one
woman covering a period of three
months. cited in the published re-
ports. was pointed out by the bureau
In it's review of the auditors Office.
Concerning 1t, Mr.. Yantis states that
the county auditor had all the in
formation necessary in the judgment
in the case filed with her by him. and
that 1.-The over-payment is due to the
auditors negligence"
In another case cited by the bu-
reau. in which it was said that in
formation had not been given as to
when the mothers child would be Is
years old, Mr.. Yantis refers to the
record. which shows the child's age
to have been seven years. and which
gives the further information that
the pension vas granted for only two
months, because the section Of the
law under which 1t was granted was
repealed.
In four other cases cited in the bu-
reau's review OF the auditors office,
Mr.. Yantis asserts that the records
furnished the auditor we're made out
on a regular blank form, that when
the bureau suggested changes to him
he consulted the court. but the latter
refused to substitute other orders,
and adds that the forms are all based
on the findings Of fact in the court
judgments, which the auditor may
consult il she desires.

WANT GOVERNMENT
TO DEAL IN FOOD
DEVELOPMENTS IN PROBE OF
HIGH PRICES ARE RAPID,
THIS WEEK.

Developments in the investiga.
tions by the federal government
state and city authorities, into
charges that the current high prices
of foodstuffs are due to spectators
who have "cornered" huge amounts
of the nations food supply, have
been rapid this week.
Formal appeal for government reg
ulation of the country's food supply
has been forwarded to President Will
son by the representatives of 2,000,-
900 women of the National House
wives league.
simultaneously Patrick E. Quinn,
government commissioner for New
South Wales, explained the Austria
lian system of food control and rec
commended its adoption by the United
States. The plea of the housewives
and the remedial system outlined by
Quinn dovetail with Governor Whit
mans move for the regulation of New
York's food supply by state food
commission.
At the same time an egg boycott
was spreading rapidly and promised
to become country wide.
AS another phase of the situation,
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois, a former resident of Seattle
and we'll known here in Olympia, de-
clared he would Introduce at the
coming session of congress bill pro-
viding for the government purchase
of food and it's sale at unreasonable
price.
He expressed his belief that 1t
would be inadvisable for congress to
pass an embargo on the shipment of
grain lest it bring retaliation and
financial disaster to the United States.
Senator Lewis said we should not
pass such an act, neither would the
president sign it.
His plan is for the government to
offer fair price for food. and If that
is declined, to condemn and seize 1t,
submit the evidence to juries and let
them decide on just price. He
would have the government establish
stations throughout the country,
where the food would be sold to the
consumer.
Adding still another development,
government investigators discovered
3O,OOO,OO0 dozen of eggs, enough to
supply every man, woman and child
in the United States with more than
three eggs each, in cold storage
warehouse in Chicago. The eggs
were bought last May at 20 cents
dozen and are understood to be held
nv James e. Wetz, self styled "egg
king"
Government agents regarded the
discovery as the most important they
have made in their investigation IN
Chicago of the high price OF eggs,
ruling around SO cents per dozen. In
the belief that Wetz may not be the
real owner but only a figurehead act
ing for more powerful firms. Assist

CITY ELECTION TO
Be HELD TUESDAY
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS To
SERVE TWO YEARS-COUN.
CILMEN FOR FOUR

Olympians will decide in their city
election next Tuesday the officials
wnom they want to administer the
arairs of the city for the next two
years, and the councilmen they de.
sire to represent the different wards
for the next four years, the election
being the first to be held under the
new biennial election law for third.
class cities, passed by the last legis.
lature. Heretofore both the officials
and councilmen have been elected
for just ono year.
Two tickets are in the field-the
Citizens, headed by Councilman
George N. Talcott for mayor, and the
Republican Dy Jesse T. Mills. Each
has complete councilmanic ticket in
the field, but the Citizens has no can
didate for treasurer against Mrs.
Iona Smith. and the Republican no
candidate for clerk against w. A.
HOage. The complete tickets are
published among the City Lega. No
tices on page 6.
The campaign to date has been re-
markable for the absence of the sem
sational circulars which featured the
municipal elections of the last four
years. The Citizens candidates have
issued a matter-of-fact statement of
their policy and the local situation
as they see it. comparing the admin
istrations Of the last four years with
those Of the previous is, when the
city administrations were Republi-
can. The Republican candidates
have not replied to this circular nor
have they issued a formal statement
of any kind SO far in the campaign.
At this election the mayor, attor-
ney, clerk, treasurer and councilman
at-large will be elected for two-year
terms and the ward councilmen for
four years. The contests between
the councilmanic candidates in the
different wards have so far been
more lively than the general cam
paign in the city, but the next few
days, it is expected, will see much
electioneering.

tee at Seattle in September, In direct
violation Of the rules governing the

SUMMARY OF APPLE CROP.

Nampa-Chairman E. F. Stephens
of the state board of horticulture
and numbered among the largest or
chardists of southern Idaho, has CIV
en- out a succinct summary of the
apple situation in the western states.
He has this to say of the apple crop
prospects:
"F. H. Hogue, general western
manager for Denney & Co., has re-
Gently returned from trip covering
all sections of Utah and western
Colorado. Mr.. Hogue reports that he
does not believe Utah has any ap-
pies left that can be shipped in car
load lots. The Provo section is entire
ly cleaned up. There is possibly is
per cent of peach crop around
Brigham City and Hot Springs.
1.-THE Grand valley of Colorado,
from Grand Junction to Palisade, has
a good crop of fruit. What is known
as the North Fork section, which in
cludes Montrose, Delta, Hotchkiss
and Paonia, has been hit hard by
frost, with probably not more than
10 per cent of crop left. On the
other hand the state of Washington
will, as a whole, with the help OF
the young trees coming into bearing,
probably ship normal crop. East
of the mountains. Nebraska reports
conditions unusually favorable.
Business conditions this season
are such. with the lack Of ocean
service to carry apples out Of the
country, that it seems better for Ida
no to lose crop this season than
later, after business conditions have
improved"
