SHOEMAKER
NOT TO RUN

After announcing Saturday that
he would be candidate for city
commissioner at the coming cleo
ton, City Controller Fred Shoe
maker learned Monday that he
could not run for the position
without resigning his present job,
and was ready to abandon his po-
litical aspirations.
The city charter says that no
person holding an elective office
shall be eligible to any other Of
flee. Shoemaker had imagined
that he could become a candidate,
and would not have to give up his
present position unless he were
elected.
But decisions of the supreme
court, discovered Monday, proved
that he could not become a candi-
date without resigning.
THE law indicates that I must
serve my four year term as con-
troller unless ! die, resign or am
ousted," said Shoemaker.
"The people have elected me FOR
four years, and l do not believe it
would be right for me to resign
from the office to which was
elected in order to run for another.
/ had believed that l could put the
matter up to the voters, as to
whether they wanted me to stay
here or become q commissioner"

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Germany s

No platform was adopted by
the political committee Of the Cen

meeting, according to Secretary
Joseph Lyons, but the attitude of
organized labor here towards can
didates at the spring election will
be determined in two weeks.
The platform committee did NOT
have its work completed and was
given another fortnight to finish.
1t was limited that organized
labor would insert a plank in its
platform favoring the municipal
ownership of all city street car
lines, and pledging labor to sup
port only those candidates who
promise to give their best effort
to acquiring the T. X. G P. lines.

HOTEL
RAIDED!

Raiding the Olympus and Don
nelly hotels between 2 and 3
o'clock Sunday morning, Detec-
tive Captain John Strickland,
with Detectives Nix and Ander-
son, arrested three women and
two soldiers, taking them to po-
lice headquarters on disorderly
conduct charges. One of the SOL
diers was first lieutenant at
Camp Lewis, the other a private.
In police court Monday morn
ing Miss Gladys Cooley, age 10,
dancer, arrested with Frank S.
WuesterhOff in the Donnelly
hotel, was given sentences aggre-
eating seven months in Jail, on
two charges Of vagrancy.
Dorothy Greene, age 10, and
Hazel Nell, age 20, domestics,
who were arrested at the Olym-
pus with V. F.. McFall, were
given similar sentences.
The two men in uniform were
held in jail until Sunday even
ing, when they were taken to
Camp Lewis under guard by mill
tary police.
The raids at the two hotels
were conducted quietly, and few
persons knew that officers were
searching the places. Captain
Strickland said Monday that the
raids were the result of frequent
reports about young women and
soldiers occupying the same room
in downtown hotels. 1t was in
timated that action might be
taken against the hotels by prose
cutting officers.
