such political strife that the
corporation counsel of another muntci
laiity has been called in to settle points

trouble started at election time, when the
cutpolnfc Mayor, before leavins office, ap
pointed nearly all the officials on the in
coming Mayor's patronase list. Then the
tty Council took advantage of the new
Mayor's temporary absence to lect a
temporary Mayor, who removed the one
rfncial, a Marshal, that the real Execu

the Seattle lecal counsel, who held that
the former Mayors appointments were
Jejral but that the acts of the Mayor
pro tem are Invalid, thus giving each

Surgeon f Steamship Statendam
Says Little Ulrl May Have
Been Alive.
NEW YORK. April 1. An extraor
dinary tale of the burial at sea of a child
which may have been alive when thrown
overboard was told by the officers of the
steamer Statendam when that vessel ar
rived today from Rotterdam. The child la
said to have been thrown overboard by its
own mother, Mrs. Hortha Ijr.yblk, of Po
land. She was coming to thle. country
with two children, one of which became
111 and In about an hour was apparently
dead. The other passengers of the steer
age objected to the presence of the body
on board and Informed the mother that
unless the child was thrown overboard a
storm would overwhelm the vessel.
About midnight the body of tho child, a
little girl, was thrown Into the sea. Of
ficers of the steamer soon discovered
what had happened and the e-hlp'a sur
geon, who made inquiries, is said to have
expressed the fear that the child was
merely in a comatose state and might
have been revived under medical treat
ment. Mrs. Lzybik was taken to Kills
Island.

WASHINGTON1. April 16. Senator Clapp
of Minneaota, chairman of the committee
on Indian affairs, la now a "heap In
dian chief of the Crow tribe. He was
given a great surprise today by Chief
Plenty Coos and his fellow-tribesmen, -who
have been witnesses before the Indian
committee for the past three week's.
The chief marched into the committee
room at the head of the band, and
through an interpreter, phlepmatically in
formed the Senator that the treatment
that had been accorded the Indians waj
highly appreciated and that an appropri
ate gift was due the white chief of the
committee. Chief Flenty Coos then took
from one of his followers a huge war
bonnet, which had been tb chief's In
signia of rank, worn by him whenever he
went into battle. He said he waa now a
man of peace and the bonnet was of less
value to him on the reservation than to
the Senator in Congress, and therefore
he wanted the Senator to take it.
Senator Clapp was "completely flabber
gasted," according to his own description
of his emotions. He took the war bonnet
and thanked the chief.
Plenty Coos nnd his band will start for
their homo in Montana tomorrow. -
CITY COMPETITION HARD
Seattle F.tectrieal Pealer Rays Tie Is
Nearly Put Out of Business.
SEATTLE). Wash., April 16. (Special.)
Robert L. Munson, a dealer in electrical
supplies, is seeking an injunction against
the city of Seattle, restraining the City
I-ighting Department from selling or leas
ing motors and other electric fixtures. The
cn?e will be heard tomorrow In the Su
perior Court. Munson asserts that his
business Is damaged because of the fact
that the city, by reason of its large finan
cial credit, can buy electric fixtures
cheaper than he and that it installs and
leases thera at a figure which yields no
profit to the city. He charges that the
city is violating the law, because neither
by charter provision, city ordinance nor
otherwise is it authorised to engage in
this character of business. In this branch
the city has thousands of dollars in
vested. The further charge is made that
the city is unlawfully using money de
rived from the general tax levy to buy
wire for Installing the motors and other
fixtures. The case raises a question of
the construction of the city charter and
the State Constitution, which has not been
brought up before.
