LABOR CANDIDATE
 WINS NOMINATION
 Al SEATTLE POLLS

2 SEATTLE, Feb. 1S.-Mayor Fitz- gerald was eliminated as a candi- date to succeed himself as a result of the primary election held in this city yesterday. Caldwell headed the list of mayoralty candidates, receiv- ing 28,518 votes, with Duncan a close second with 26,040. Fitz- gerald received only 21,419.
 Caldwell made the race for nom- ination without newspaper support and with many factions opposing him. Duncan had the support of the Union Record and the endorse ment of the Triple Alliance, com posed of farmers, railroad men and unionists. The Star. the Times, and the Post-Intelligencer backed Fitz- gerald.
 Five of the municipal candidates, including Duncan, who were en- dorsed by the alliance, an alleged radical organization, were nominat- ed. Councilmen Hesketh, Lane, and Erickson, alliance nominees, led the race for three-year terms, and Can didates Cohen, Reeces, and Tindell were nominated to oppose them. Drake, incumbent, and Gallant, alli- ance nominee, were nominated to fight for the two-year post, and Car roll, incumbent, was nominated to oppose Nauman, alliance nominee, for the one-year post. Walter Meier was unopposed for corporation coun- sel .....~ . .....: ....
 In a statement issued after the result of the primaries had been made known, Mayor Fitzgerald de- clared that the nomination of Dun can emphasizes Seattle's danger, which I have been doing my best to avert. My fight against all that Duncan stands for was not for my personal advancement. Caldwell made a vicious campaign against me, but I am for his candidacy if he sees the issue as have seen it from the beginning. He must make his fight in the open, directly and sincerely"
 The Non-partisan Municipal league committee. which investigated the records. of all the candidates, made known the following findings short ly before the primary election, the investigation being the result of much mud-slinging indulged in by the various candidates during the campaign: Fitzgerald, of good mor- al character, Americanism unques- tionable, proved to be a practical diplomatic councilman, occasionally sacrificing his own convictions to politics. Duncan, also of good nor al character, may be sincere, but misguided in efforts to get advan- tages for labor, and judgment warped on questions of general pol icy. His election would tend to accentuate class consciousness. Cald- we'll the committee found to have a good education and good morals, always active in civic affairs, with a good record in office, strong per sonality, positive opinions, and Am ericanism unquestionable."

SHERIFF HED6ED
TECHNICAL LAWS
10y Not Incur Expense Run

Sioux Falls, s. D., Sept 13.-That
the sheriff of a county must obtain
reQuisttion from the governor before
pursuing and arresting crimina!

If he expects remuneration for ex-
penses incurred is the substance Of
a decision just handed down by the
state supreme court, all judges con-
curing except Judge Whiting, who
did not sit at the hearing.
The case was appealed from Min
nehaha county from the decision Of
Judge j. T. Medin, whose decision
was in favor Of Sheriff Herman
Wangsness, who presented a claim to
the board OF county commissioners
for expenses incurred in pursuing and
arresting Tom Fuller, who was ac-
cused Of committing a felony in Min
nehaha county and was detained by
the Chicago police pending the ar
rival Of the South Dakota authorities.
The commissioners refused to ap-
prove the claim Of the sheriff for
payment for the reason that the sher-
1ff was not clothed with the proper
authority to incur the expense. Ac-
ton was then brought in the circuit
court which decided in favor of
Wangsness. An appeal to the su-
preme court was then taken by

The Fly and the Bald Head.

From Commerce and FINANCE.
One of the noblest decisions on record,
so far as bald-headed men are con-
cerned, been handed down by the
Gus that bald head has peculiar at
traction for the common house fly. He
prefers to roost there or promenade
there to any other place in the neigh
borhood. Now the high court has de-
clared that bald headed persons are en-
titled to protection. In the case of
Williams VS.. Sweet a hotel keeper sued
because the defendant, who had con-
tracted for accommodations for GER
tain period, left the hotel before the
time had elapsed. The defendant said
he was pestered by flies, which were
particularly numerous in the dining
room.
The august court held that the fly
was nuisance and it's disease carrying
characteristics are we'll known. A pa
tron of a hotel was warranted in leav-
ing the establishment, regardless Of
contract for a longer stay, if the dining
room was infested with the pests. An
innkeeper, it declared, agreed by i'm
pGcation to furnish accommodate
Compatible with the prices paid, the
standing of the hosiery and the class
of persons invited to become patrons.
Accommodations" the judge asserted,
included apartments, dining service and
sanitary conditions, and if the hotel
keeper failed to maintain these in In
wiling and wholesome manner the pa
tron was warranted in seeking quarters
elsewhere regardless of an engagement
to remain for any specified time.
Hotel men had better get busy with
their fly swatters. Restaurant people,
also.
