PETTICOAT POLITICS IN SEA TTLE Woman Acting Mayor Discharges Two Police Chiefs in Twenty-Four Hours, Bu yEA Smice rpp EATTLE, July X.—Seattle I I knows something about “pet--1 I ticoat government" now. It has just emerged from a fewhectic days of it. But in those few days the woman "left behind” turned things topsyturvy around the city hall. Within twenty-four hours she discharged two chiefs of police. When Dr. Edwin J. Brown, Seattle’s mayor, started for the Democratic national convention in New York, he turned his office over to Mrs. Henry Landes, presiden'. of the city council. It would have been 'far better, from his standpoint, for him to have included her in his traveling party. For the first thing she did, after Brown was well on his way East, was to dismiss Chief of Police William B. Severyns for "refusal to obey orders." She named Inspector J. T. Mason acting chief. Then she fired him, too, for failing to cooperate -with her in a “clean-up” of the city. She proclaimed herself in absolute control of the department and selected Capt. C. G. Bannick, in charge of an outlying precinct, as her aid. The row with Chief Severyns began when he refused to remove 100 patrolmen the acting mayor had called worthless. Mrs. had caustically mentioned the frequency in which daylight robberies were occurring. She accused the police of either “collusion with criminals or hopeless inefficiency." But her administration was brief. Mayor Brown heard about it. Announcing he intended to feap point Severyns, he packed up his grips and headed home forthwith.

MRS. HENRY LANDES, WHO AFTER ASSUMING HER DUTIES AS SEATTLES ACTING MAYOR, DISCHARGED TWO CHIEFS OF POLICE WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOUR.

Mrs. Landes is the wife of the dean of the school of science of the University of Washington. She is a sister-in-law of David Starr Jordan, chancellor-emeritus of Inland Stanford University. She was elected to the council two years ago. Ridin ’ Around By HAL COCHRAN When you're all in the car and have no place to go, you will start on a tour, just the same.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In New York By STEVE HANNAGAN NEW YORK, July I.—James John Brady, 82-year-old veteran of the Civil War, who was born in New York, left when he was 13 and has since made his home in Vincennes, Ind., returned for the convention. He thinks the Brooklyn bridge, built since he left his old home here on Fourteenth St. in downtown New York, is a great improvement over the Fulton St. ferry, which was in use during his early boyhood. He was amazed that he could not find the Hennessy family—great friends of his sixty-nine years ago. None knew anything about them. Brady stole away from his boarding house abode in Vincennes to come here to attend the Democratic convention. Out in Indiana his $72a month pension Is a fortune. It didn’t take long to dissipate his savings here in New York. He couldn't obtain a seat for the convention he came here to witness. Seats cost SIOO. Brady didn’t have even enough money to buy food. So he applied to the Travelers Aid Society. They obtained a seat for him. provided him with necessaries and sent a guide along with him. Money came from Vincennes for his return. “Times have changed, of course, but,” he challenged, “you could put me down anywhere in Broadway and I wouldn’t be lost.” Brady had a great time. Adventure was upon this 82-year-young man who grew up with the West. The only disappointing aspect Os his trip was—he couldn’t find the Hennessy boys. Two press association reporters recently were out on a big story. One of them stuttered. When the story “broke" it required a “flash.” The-e was but one telephone handy. The stammering reporter reached it first —and called his office. Then he could do nothing but stutter in his excitement over the big yarn. After several mlnuchs the opposition reporter took the phone away from his competitor and gave the competing association the story the stammering one could not tell. He then called his own office. “But I probably saved ten minutes by doing it,” he explains.

OIL SUITS MAY HURT GEN. DAWES G. 0. P. Leaders Fear Effect of His Connection on Campaign, Times Washington Bureau. 1322 New York Ave. Tyr! ASHINGTON, July .J.— Repubyy lican leaders are becoming uneasy, if not actually alarmed, over what at first was heralded as fine campaign material when Attorney General Stone filed suits against the Standard Oil Cos. and some forty other companies at Chicago the other day. The reason for the concern lies in the fact that listed among the "secondary 7” defendants is the Pure Oil Cos. of Ohio, in which Charles G. Dawes, vice presidential candidate, is commonly believed to be a heavy stockholder, and of which his brother. Beman G. Dawes of Marietta, Ohio, is president. Although the Department of Justice has issued a denial that Charles G. Dawes has any connection with the company 7, and the La Follette committee failed to bring out any connection two y 7 ear3 ago when Beman Dawes was questioned, the feeling prevails that it certainly won’t help the Republican campaign to have the name of Dawes linked up with the gasoline suits. Calls It ‘Prize I?one’ One of the highest officers in the G. O. P. organization is quoted as having characterized the bringing of the suits at this time as "a prize bone.” There is a persistent feeling that the suits were prepared before the Cleveland convention when Dawes was not regarded as particularly strong vice presidential timber. Although there is no public, record that Charles G. Dawes has any connection with the Pure Oil Cos., a year ago when the company put out $12,<'oo,ooo off 4 per cent sinking fund notes, the underwriting was done by Halsey, Stuart. & Cos., and the Central Trust. Cos. of Chicago, of which Dawes is board chairman. Agreements Cited Tho action against the company is based on Attorney General Stone’s claim that it was one 7 of some thir-ty-fix concerns which entered into agreements with the Standard Oil Cos. and other primary defendants containing restraints of interstate and foreign commerce. The Pure Oil Cos. was organized at Columbus. Ohio, in 1914 under the name of the Columbus Production Cos. Then It was changed to the Ohio Cities Gas. Cos., and finally, after acquisition of the Pure Oil Cos. of New Jersey In June, 1917, to Its present title. B. G. Dawes, the president, receives a salary of $42,000 a year: nineteen other officers have salaries ranging from SIO,OOO to $30,000 a year, and twenty-eight from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. During the Senate hearings it was shown that four directors of the company were officers or directors in Columbus, Springfield or Marietta banks.

Science When airplanes demonstrated their real efficiency, some twelve or fourteen years ago, it was predicted that most travel, at least for short trips, W’ould soon be made by air. However, this has not happened. The reason is that passenger flying has not been developed in the United States; stunts and speed have been more interesting. In England the air ministry has been more interested In making flying safe and comfortable than in breaking records. It has set aside a large sum for work along that line. Asa result of this policy pAssenger flying is as safe as railroad travel and much safer than auto travel. Regular passenger service is maintained between London and Paris and thus far only one of these English commercial planes has fallen into the channel. The plane itself was undamaged, but the engine was soon ruined and the plane had to be sunk for safety to passing flying vessels

BRITA INS MA Y END PARLIAMENT Congress of Representatives of Commonwealths Would Be Substituted, By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, rrra ASHINGTON. July I.—Aboli VY/ tlon of the British Parliament yy :ls now constituted and the substitution therefor of a congress of representatives of the various commonwealths of the Empire was brought a step nearer by the Nation-alist-Labor party in South Africa.

The defeat of General Smuts, leader of the pro-English faction, and the rise to power of General Herzog, of the Dutch-Nationalist-Labor aillance, most of whom openly favor secession from Britain, brings to a crisis the relations between South Africa and the Empire. Just one factor, however, may save i the situation. Colonel Creswell, j World War veteran and Labor lead- ! er, is opposed to a deelaraiton of independence. Without labor, the Nationalists of General Herzog would not have a working majority, so the secessionists probably will have to mark time, at least for the present. Nevertheless, the switch from Smuts to Herzog adds considerable imepetua to the scheme to make the British Parliament at London more representative. Oppose Centralization Scotland is asking for her own parliament at Edinburgh, and every where, even in Canada, there is a growing opposition to the centraliza tlon of too much power in London, particularly with regard to foreign policy. Premier Ramsay MacDonald is not regarded as hostile to the idea of decentralization, and but recently the London Herald, official organ of the Labor party, published an article advocating home rule for Scotland, Wadies, India and the rest of the units of the Empire. "I desire to see the present Parlia ment abolished," the writer, George Ijftnsbury, stated, “and ir. its stead a Commonwealth Parliament set up, to which should come representatives of Britain and Ireland, India, the Dominions and Colonies. “To this Parliament should be given full powers over all matters w'hich concern them all, such as foreign affairs, defense. finance, trade, commerce, migration and so forth." Independence for India Such a change in the British mode of government, the writer observed, would of course involve complete independence for India and incidentally would “remove the last vestige of a claim for a divided Ireland.” What is proposed is a parliament like the Congress of the Urdted States. That is, each member of D.-iiish eommonwelth—Cainada, Aus tralia, Ireland, etc.—would be related to the empire exactly as an American State is related to the Union, each sending its duly elected members to represent it at London. That Great Britain will ultimately adopt this mode of government is considered by many English liberals as a foregone conclusion if the empire hopes to avoid the same situation everywhere which she now faces in South Africa, where there is a growing sentiment in favor of independence and a republic. Meanwhile the new South African

INSANE AT NIGHT; SANE IN DA YTIME Queer Turn of Law Requires Business Man to Sleep in Asylum, By MAURICE HENLE ,V£i Service Writer Pc— HILADELPHIA, July 1 When the sun is high, and the birds are singing and men go about their daily tasks, James E. Macusker is sane. But when the moon comes out when the day’s work is done and all is hushed, James E. Macusker — yes, the same man —is insane. Through a strange freak of legal red tape, Macusker finds himself in this weird tangle. He's sane by day and insane by night—according to the courts. ~ Macusker edits a weekly periodical devoted to business and politics. He blames his political enemies for his present trouble. Two years ago his matrimonial difficulties came into the courts. His wife had him arrested for non-support.

“Instead of ending the matter with a simple court order,” Macuaker explains, “I was sent to an asylum, as being unable to manage my affairs.” His property, in other hands, lost its value. About a year ago on a. writ of habeas corpus he was once more brought Into court, and again found to be not responsible for his acts. But the law granted him a daily parole between the hours of 8 a. m. and 8 p. m. when he would he allowed, unattended, to go to his business. After 8 p. m. he was again to return to the asylUm, and for the night the State was to be his keeper. J And so, even,’ day Macusker goes! alone to his business.
