Charges of Sensational Nature Made = Easy Money Days Are
 Repeated.
TWO BIG MEN ARRESTED
Reign of Vice Prevails as in Days of the WappenStein
 Regime.

SEATTLE, Oct. 1t.-A municipal scandal involving alleged graft in- pIlcatng the police department, boot egeers, proprletors of houses Of ill repute and even touching the county sherlfFs office, has been sprung during the last twenty hours.
 The upheaval started yesterday when the Daily Times, which has long supported the present city ad- ministration or remained silent on certain charges, last evening in double column front page article virtually set forth the facts that every form of vice was flourlshing in the city of seattlet pieturIns the situation not unlike that which oe- cured during the last days of the Wappenstein reign.
 Today 1t was claimed that the rot tenness in the city is play between the vets" and "drys" with Mayor Gill in a leading role.
 This forenoon Mayor Gill stated that the breweries were trying to discredit his administration because of the speeches against the so-called "hotel and brewery bills" pending at the coming election. He also stated that the dry forces also were doing everything to thwart justice. Prosecuting Attorney Lundin, who has been nosing into the gambling conditions, has hinted of a possible grand jury investigation, especially into Sheriff Hodges office, claiming that liquor he seized was not de- stroyed by him as announced but really found it's way into the hands of the numerous bootleggers.
 Another Sensation Sprung
 Following closely on these sen sations another one was sprung when Sergeant Putnam. head of the dry squad, openly charged that 300 bottleggers and large number or gambling places and also score of negro clubs were running openly with the full knowledge of the Seat, tie police department.
 Sergeant Putnam also announced that at least S5O,O0O a month was being paid to some one by the gam blers. bootleggers and the proprie- tresses of bawdy houses which are also flourishing in wide open ex- tent.
 Margett ls Arrested
 On top of this expose, the infor. nation was given out this afternoon that the dry squad made big raid on bootleg warehouse early this morning. on First Avenue South, ar resting former policeman Edward J. Margett and from whose possession they took 200 quarts of whiskey which had been shipped from San Francisco. Margett was aOlaze with diamonds and had over $2,400 in cash in his possession. Earlier last even ing another 100 cases were seized which was located in a south ol Jackson street resort also supposed to be owned by Margett. Margett for years has been the alleged chun of Mayor Gill.
 "coIector" Is Jailed
 Mardgett is held in the city jai on an open charge. He was dis missed from the force two months ago when he is clnimed to have tipped off the raid on Clarence Ger aids Cafe.
