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.
