Net, Dry Fight
Is State Issue
New Leaders to Show up
in Legislature as the
Oldsters Quit
BY RICHARD HAMILTON

Filing of candidates. Tor the
primary electiona September 8.
/ 1880 is sure to reveal to US
several interesting features. Some
| of the highlights of the filing sea-
| son are:
Neither Mark Reed nor Ed Sims,
recognized bosses of the legisla-
ture, filed for reelection; and so
| the Sims-Reed political order,
which has ruled the legislature for
Is years, passes out of the pic
ture. Next, right after the primary
election, there will be lively
| scramble for leadership and con-
troll of the organization.
Two members of the Supreme
Court, Chief Justice Mitchell and
Justice Main, who have served IL
and 10 years respectively, We're
rewarded by reclamation, returned
automatically for six-year terms.
But the third member, Justice Will
liam Willard, faces a contest, his
seat being sought by ex-Judge
Griffiths of Seattle, persistent
candidate, who has been an unsuc-
cessful bidder for the Supreme
Court, United States Senate and
the Governorship. Both Willard
and Griffiths are dry, and voters
should remember that judicial con-
tests are settled in the primary
election, not in November.
Two of the five Congressional
districts are engaged in wet-dry
fights. Ralph A. Horr, republican
chairman of King county, took up
the liquor issue some time ago in
an effort to unseat Congressman
Miller of Seattle, and already
they are going to it, with Miller
seemingly riding the top wave.
Then, at the last minute, Frank
E. Hammond of Seattle, who
travels the wet road hand in hand
with Horr, filed to contest Con.
gresham Hadley of the Everett
Bellingham district, declaring he
| wanted his candidacy to furnish
a referendum on prohibition. So
Horr and Hammond are out to lift
and carry the wet mans burden
and as things now look, they arr
up against some heavy toting.
In the Southwest Washington
district, Congressman Albert John.
son of Hoquiam has four rivals
with no opposition from the Dem.
ocrats, which means that he is
practically certain of being re.
turned for his tenth term. 1t was
expected that DR.. John Seigle Of
Tacoma, who was chosen to at
tack prohibition in the Bellingham
convention, would join Horr and
son, but the reports are that Sci
! gle decided the wet running would
not be easy in Southwest Washing
ton.
In the Fifth district, Congress
man Hill was given the Democrat
ic nomination by reclamation, and
which, of course, is not surprise
He will be opposed by either T.
w. Symons or j. L. Addison, both
of Spokane, who filed for the Re
publican nomination. But it is I'M
likely that the winner will make
much of showing against Hill.

Staying IN RAID
HELD UNSUITABLE
Colored Prohibition Agents Self.
Defense Claim Upheld
at Inquest.

A District coroner's jury today re-
turned verdict of justifiable homicide
following an inquest into the manner
in which William Bell, colored, met his
death Tuesday. Bell was wounded fatal
ly by Eugene Jackson, a colored pro-
hibition agent, during a raid at 2125
Ninth street. jackson claimed he acted
in self defense.
Testimony tended to show that the
prohibition agent ordered Bell several
times to put up his hands when he
made threatening motion toward his
hip pocket, but that the latter ignored
the commands, drew a revolver and
was raising it toward Jackson when
the agent fired two shots.
John P. Weigle and Murray C. Tay-
lor, prohibition agents, who were with
Jackson, told the jury they had no
warrant to raid the place, but mas
much as they had watched a man carry
what they believed to be liquor into
the house, a warrant was not needed.
They admitted that Bell questioned
their rights to enter without warrant.
Bell died yesterday at Freedman's
Hospital

FRANCE MOD|F|ES
SANCTIONS STAND
Barrier to Debt Agreement
at Hague Expected to
Be Removed Soon.

BY the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, January 10.-Modifica-
ton of French insistence on military
sanctions guaranteeing German repa-
rations annuities led to belief today
that that formidable barrier to an
agreement here soon would be removed.
The French have not yet conceded
the demand of the Germans that the
protocol adopting the Young plan con-
tain a clause similar to that In the
German American agreement TO Ethe
effect that the creditors rely solely on
the good faith Of Germany for execu-
ton of the plan.
They have, however, virtually aban-
doned all claim to the right to resume
military occupation of the Rhineland
in case of default by the Germans.
They have reduced their pretentions to
a purely juridical or arbitral solution
procedure upon declaration Of q de-
fault.
The question will come to head
with a written reply by the Germans
to the French memorandum on the
subject. There was some expectation
this reply would be couched in such
terms as to make an agreement be-
tween Germany and the creditor ma
tions possible.
Meanwhile the delegates continued
with their efforts to unravel other
snarls and details of application
of the Young plan. Principal among
these were matters connected with
commercialization of the uncondition-
al annuities and date of payment of
installmentS.
With the League of Nations Council
meeting only three days away and with

pected every effort would be made to
hurry matters here through to a sue

leanings, adding its voice to the Times
and other authoritative London jour-
mails, in its issue tomorrow will urge
the British government to propose
abolition Of battleShips at the forth
coming Naval Conference.
Admitting that American naval opin-
ion places great faith in the big ships
on their merits, the Spectator says
President Hoover. nevertheless, has
pledged the United States to reduce
her naval strength in proportion to
any other country"
The Spectator said the only way to
insure disarmament is for Great Britain
to announce that she intends TO abol-
ish battleships whatever the United
States does.
IF Great Britain would say she did
this In the name OF the peace pact,
public opinion would quickly get to
exactly know what would happen then.
