Mrs. Landes

Mrs. LAndes. In her letter. says:
June 20. 1925.
''Mr. william d. severyns.
Chief OF Police.
Seattle. Washington.
Dear Sir: desire TO call your
attention to the fact thnt business
men and our citizens in general are
seriously disturbed over the lack OF
law enforcement In this city. Boot.
Logging and gambling are carried on
openly Md apparently with no fear
Of the consequences. Violations Of
law In the pool rooms and the card
rooms arc not reported to the H.
cense committee OF the city council
AS they should be. Burglaries and
hold.ups are Of daily occurrence.
Tho hold.up on First ave. S. Satur.
day OF ioi5 a. m. is fair example.
The bandits were not apprehended
and evidently had no fear OF being
caught. This and many other
crimes OF like nature lead TO one
OF two conclusions. Either there
is COLLISION between members OF the
police force and criminals. or else
the police department Is so ineffic-
tent that law violators neither fear
nor respect It's power.
The patience OF the general pub.
lie II about exhausted. IL ! am to
batfrxsn .kn ..~nx.. ,..lt.h ..a,,n a.
me. You have asked the council
for additional patroImen TO cope
with tho situation, a request which
the council has been reluctant TO
grant for fear of merely increasing
inefflciency or something worse
especially in the face OF your own
publ cstatement that there are
many men on the police force who
should not be there. Personally. I
would be loaih 20 increase the tax
payers burdens by adding men to
the forco until there has been a
house.cleaning in tho department.
"May / further remind you that
the mayor and chief OF police are
the law enforcing agents OF the city
and thus responsibility for the above
mentioned cond itions is placed
squarely up to this office and 10
yourself. While II Is true that [
am mayor only in n temporary ca
pacity. a. the same time II is my
duty while mayor TO insist upon n
policy OF law enforcement and TO
protect the public as far as lies in
my power.
Now. II statement made by you
that there arc 100 men on the police
force who should not be there is
true, then II must follow as logical
conclusion that 100 men should be
removed. Taxpayers should not be
called upon to pay the salaries OF
such men. Furthermore. II Is only
fair TO the efficient and worthy. men
In your department that those who
bring disgrace upon the police force
should rbc weeded out. The police
department has lost the confidence
OF the people. The innocent men
are under the stigma OF graft, boot
Logging and connivanco with crime,
as well as the guilty. fA
For these and other equally po-
tent reasons ] feel Obliged to issue
an order that YOU remove from your
department, without delay. the men
whom you believe to be protecting
law violators or who are themselves
law violators.
/ desire immediate results and a
written statement, within "a hours,
from you acknowledging tho receipt
OF my orders and reporting results,
II there are any obstacles within or
without your department tending TO
prevent or impair the effectiveness
OF such n move on your part, please
include such report in your COM
munication to me.

TRUCE EXTENDED
IN TONG COMBATS
2 Weeks Extension Agreed
to, But Final Peace Seems
Long Way Off.
Ry the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November Is. - Chi
nese Consul General Chang disclosed
Yesterday that the armistce in the
war of Hip Sing and On Leong tongs
in seven large American cities had
been extended for two weeks beyond
this midnight, when the existing
truce was to have expired.
The new agreement was understood
to have been signed by tong leaders
of the various cities, who for days
have been in conference with Consul
General Chang and officials of the
Chinese Merchants Benevolent AS
SoCiation, seeking peace after weeks
of warfare that caused 10 deaths and
numerous non-fatal casualties.
Conferences have been shrouded in
deepest secrecy. so that even local
subchieftains of the hostile tongs
were unaware of the name of the
hotel in uptown Manhattan, far from
Chinatown, where the truce was
signed.
The chief stumbling block toward
the negotiation of full peace between
the tongs is reported by both fac
tions to be the refusal of the Hip
Sings to pay the On Leongs $4,000
indemnity for it's members slain, and
their equally emphatic refusal to give
up businesses in Chicago, Pittsburgh,
Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Wash
fngton, Baltimore and New York.
