SEATTLE. Wash.. May 27. Special.)
Declaring; war to the hilt on Mayor
CotterlU'a plan for a campaign for
state-wide prohibition. Jacob Schaefer,
publisher of the Dally vtashlngtoner
Staats Zeitung. of Seattle, and three
other German newspapers In Puget
Sound cities today tendered his resig
nation, effective immediately, from the
City Library Commission, of which he
has been a member four years. Mr.
Schaefer was appointed by Mayor John
F. Miller. His term would have ex
pi red In 1916.
As president of the German-American
Alliance of Seattle and organizer of the
Personal Liberty League here Mr. Schae
fer finds himself out of sympathy with
the Mayor's announced Intention to
submit a constitutional amendment at
the general election to make the entire
state dry, Mr. Schaefer today said:
"As a matter of principle I have al
ways been opposed to the restriction
of personal liberty and the policy of
Mayor Cotterill to submit a prohibition
amendment to the people is one that I
cannot conscientiously indorse. To vete
this state dry would. In my opinion, be
equivalent to the confiscation of pri
vate property and large capital invest,
ments in the state without offering any
return by way of 'remuneration. Not
being in sympathy with Mr. Cotterill on
this Important policy of his administra
tion. I feel that It Is my duty to resign
as a member of the Library Board. I
expect to have something to say on the
prohibition Issue In my newspapers
should the campaign be inaugurated
and It will not be In favor of any such
amendment proposed by the Mayor."

route was changed to the water front

her barkeeper.".
