'THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1910. FRAUDS FOUND SEATTLE'S PRIMARY Election on Today With Big Percentage of Registra tions Irregular. ARRESTS MADE; MORE DUE Grand Jury Investigation, First of Kind in Country, Results That Deputy Sheriffs Are to Take Charge of Voting Booths. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 7. (Special.) Registration today was at the rate of 180 an hour. At this rate, the total registration for primary election tomor. row will be In excess of 42,000. Five hundred and forty-five names were registered at noon today, bringing the total registration to 40,410, and in dications are that all records will be broken when the books close at mid night. Hot Fight Expected. The election is to nominate candi dates for city offices to be voted for March 8. Under the state law the party system Is preserved, and votes- cast for emocratic candidates on Republican tickets are not counted, and vice versa. The Republican candidates for Mayor are Hiram C. Gill and A. V. Bouillon; the Democratic candidates, ex-Mayor William H. Moore and Oliver T. Erickson. All rnterest centers in the contest between Gill and Bouillon. Gill has promised a "wide-open" town if elected, and he is opposed by the Anti Saloon League and a number of clergy men. The Federal Immigration Commis sion's report on the white slave traffic, in which Seatlte is given a place of dis honor second only to New York, has been referred to frequently during the canvass, and Gill has been attacked as attorney for persons accused of crime. Chief Registration Clerk Will Hanna will keep his force at work all day to morrow, in order that errors in registra tion may be corrected. It is known that ttiere are voters who have been registered In precincts in which they are not entitled to vote. Such have been notified of the error and invited to come in and make the correction, but some have not done so. Orders Issued to Arrest. Sheriff Robert Hodge and Victor Marion, special grand Jury agent, were called before the grand, jury today and notified that if they have any evidence of illegal registration it is their duty to swear out warrants today and arrest the 'floaters,'' or illegal voters at once. They were informed that no legal ar rest can be made tomorrow, except upon warrant and that any attempt to intimi date voters is punishable under the crim inal code, as well as subjecting the officer to damages by suit instituted by any person who has been injured either by threats or by unlawful arrest. It Is declared that 1500 registrations have been investigated by the grand jury detectives, and Detective Marion claimed today that 90 per cent had been found to be irregular. Cheap lodging-houses in the First and Fifth wards are declared to harbor most of these people." ' From an authoritative grand jury source it is inferred that many of the men already accused of Illegal registration had a perfect right to vote in other sections of the city, but apparently moved into new precincts for some unexplained pur pose. The inference is that they might be needed in councilmanic. contests. Two Arrests Made. The grand jury investigation of regis tration Is the first that has been made In this country by an inquisitorial body. During the past two weeks the inquiry has been prosecuted and today two new arrests were made upon warrants issued by the Prosecuting Attorney's office. It is claimed that several addresses, given at registration, do not exist and two cases were found to have been reg istered from an address occupied by a Japanese barber shop and restaurant. Sheriff Hodge will place every regular deputy he can muster and 20 deputies at the polls tomorrow. The inference from this statement is that the Deputy Sher iffs are to take charge of the election. Before the grand jury the officers were informed that under the law they are merely presumed to preserve order. In the event they have warrants already prepared to serve, they will be told that they may wait at the polling places for thrir men. The danger of personal li ability for damages by false arrest or in timidation was .also shown. 0. A. C. READY FOR DEBATES Washington State and Pacific Uni versity lo Be Opponents.
