By John w. Nelson

Mayor Brown announced
Friday that he win go be-
| fore the grand jury at the
earliest opportunity to lay be-
fore it evidence to show that
the present attack upon the
city administration is merely
a political move engineered

Il want to tell the grand jury
a few things about Prosecutor Nal.
colin Douglas and his deputy, Capt.
Z. ID. Colvin," the mayor said. "and
how they are attempting to make
political capital out OF the grand
jury.
Il also want TO congratulate the
grand jury for pointing the way
to dusy TO the prosecuting attorney.
Abatement proceedings against
houses OF prostitution should have
been filed by Douglas months ago.
Every conviction in federal, SUI
perior or police court OF liquor VIC
lations or for vice is sufficient
grounds for the prosecutor to bring
abatement proceedings. l want the
grand jury to inquire why Douglas
has not been bringing these abate-
ment proceedings during the past
two years. but has waited until just
before an election TO bring them"
PROPERTY OWNERS

The mayor said he will take po-
lice records of arrests and convic

the police are enforcing the law
He also said he will tell the grand
jury that Douglas has refused tic

against the actions, blaming the
police for the troubles they
are in.
Owners and agents OF the owners
of the houses and hotels against
which abatement proceedings have
been brought declare that failure OF
the police to enforce the laws

Police Chief severyns said Friday
that ScrRt. Frank ruaua. as head
OF the now tnt1c division created
by an ordinance now pending before
city council. would not pretend to
solve seattle's traffic problems.

which the ordinance Is drawn, auto.

the new division. This viii give
him the same standing. protected
by civil service, as the head OF tho
detective department.
Some Of the engineers OF the
country have attempted to solve the
traffic problems Of cities and have
not succeeded" the chief said. I'VE
do not expect Fuqua TO solve this
problem. That will require TIN serv-
ices OF experts.
What we do expect in creating
this new traffic division is more
efficiency In enforcing the ord.
nance and regulating traffic. II
removes the traffic officers from
politics and outside influences.
"Fuqua Will handle this job as
we'll as any man in the department,
and probably better"
The chief said that Fuqua couldn't
be blamed for the 20 per cent in.

because there was larger in.

AUTO CLUB ASKS
DELAY IN PASSAGE
In the meantime the Automobile
Club OF Western Washington is
expressing strong dissatisfaction

At n meeting late Thursday at
which the Auto club. the Chamber

made that action on passage OF the
ordinance. scheduled for Monday. be
delayed.
Many of those present protested
against tho inclusion OF the para

Job to Fuqua. They said it looked
like an attempt on the part of the
present administration TO put their
own man as traffic chief into job
where he couldn't he touched by
future administrations.
Sergeant Fuqua said Friday that
both he and Chief Scveryns had
recommended to tho council that
the new traffic division be created

Systematic Basis
In the first place, the occupation
will be put on a systematic basis. Ac-
cording to some reports the occupied
territory will be practically cut off
from the rest of Germany. Secondly
it is understood that M. Coste head
Of the occupying mission has COM
planned to the government that Gen.
Degoutte does not collaborate salts
factorily with him. LASTLY, it is
pointed out that the Rhineland COM
mission acts independently of M. Coste
and Gen. Degoutte.
1t is to obtain a report on these
points that M. LIE Trocquer and Gen.
Weygand have undertaken their mis-
sion. Consequently nothing definite
will be decided until they return. but
the press generally assumes that Gen.
Weygand will take command of the
occupation as a whole. M. Loucheur.

have been sent to the Ruhr "for h
