SEATTLE. Wash.. March 12. (Spe
eial.) City Councilman Peirce will
tender his resignation tomorrow as a
member of the city lawmaking body.
His action will follow the filing against
him of charges of collecting campaign
funds for the late municipal primary.
An unofficial investigation committee
composed o Mayor Cotterill, ex-Mayor
Moore and rort Commissioner Bridges
exonerated Mr. Gill and Mr. Trenholme,
the leading candidates at the primary,
but found that Councilman Peirce, in
connection with one P. J. Geoghegan,
lia'd solicited contributions from cafe
proprietors in behalf of the Mayoralty
candidacy of John C. Slater.
Similar collections were made by
others, it was charged, in behalf of
the candidacy of Councilman Goddard,
and the investigating committee urged
that the Council look into thes
charges. Mr, Goddard denied knowl
edge of any such efforts in his behalf
and insisted that he had instructed hi
managers to solicit no funds from cafe
proprietors. He asked the Council to
investigate, and the matter will be
taken up by that body tomorrow morn
Ing.
Mr. Peirce, however, has refused to
make any comment on the charges and
has absented himself from all meet
ings of the Council since the publica
tion of the committee's report.
Finally the Bolo Club, a non-parti
san political body composed of vet
erans of the Spanish-American War,
appointed a committee to Investigate
the charges against Mr. Peirce, a fel
low member. The committee today
brought in a report finding that Mr.
Peirce did solicit funds from liquor
sellers, and that his efficiency as a
Councilman was Impaired thereby so
as to make it inadvisable that he con
tinue as a member of the Council. The
report was concurred in by Mr. Peirce
himself, who met with the committee.
The Council will act on Mr. Peirce'a
resignation Monday.
IV. B. ATram May Get Plaee.
It is likely that Norman B. Abrams
who came within a few hundred votes
of election to the Council last week
will be elected to fill the vacancy.
Pcirce's term had one more year to
run. The Bolo Club in its report said
"Mr. Peirce early in the campaign be
came interested in the candidacy of Mr.
Slater. He, in company with Mr. Geo
ghegan, visited several business houses,
including a lew houses engaged in tho
liquor business and asked if they de
sired to contribute toward the Slater
campaign fund.
"Mr. Peirce, we find, in participating
in such conduct, is guilty of an indis
cretion and a mistake which he now
fully realizes. There is absolutely no
evidence that he committed any offense
or did not properly account for all of
the funds collected.
"Mr. Telrce Intends to tiuit."
"We further report that, after mak
ing investigations, we interviewed Mr.
Peirce and he stated to us that it was
his intention, by reason of personal
business and because of the fact that
his efficiency as a legislative official
lias been impaired by unfavorable pub
licity given the matter, to resign from
the Council within a. short period of
time, and that it is only fair to the
Council that that body be relieved of
a member who had been subjected to
public criticism."
Mr. Peirce was elected to the Council
t jr a three-year term in March, 1912.
Ho IS tho only City Councilman with
in the memory of the oldest inhab
itant of Seattle to resign his office
under fire of public opinion.
In private conference several times
this week Mr. Peirce has said that he
would tender his resignation tomorrow
morning.
MARION FOLK BEG ROADS
Increase in Pavorable Sentiment
Noted in County.
SALEM, Or., March 12. (Special.)
County Judge Bushey says there is so
much good roads sentiment that the
court is in a quandary. He affirms that
it all the roads asked for In connection
with the proposed $850,000 bond issue
were made the county would soon have
4000 miles of hard-surface thorough
lares. "We have stacks of petitions," said
Judge Bushey, "from all parts of the
county for roads, but we cannot build
all of them at one time."
The judge eaid the bonding propo
sition was more favorably regarded
since announcement was made that the
election would be held at the time of
the primary and would not create extra
expense.
CORONERS' RACE IN SIGHT
Dr. J. O. Van Winkle Is Marlon Op.
ponent to Ineumbent Clougli.
SALEM, Or., March 12. (Special.)
"Representing no interest but that of
efficiency and economy for all" is the
slogan of Dr. J. O. Van Winkle, Coun
ty Health Officer, who has iled his
declaration with Circuit Clerk' Gehlhar
as a candidate for the Republican nom
ination for Coroner.
A. M. Clough, who has been Coroner
of the county since the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, also is a
candidate. Since Dr. Van Winkle ad
vocates economy, and Mr. Clough has
been a stickler for economy since hold
ing the office, it is presumed the race
will be fought out on that line.

DATING INSPECTION URGED
Small Packers Propose Provision
Aimed Against Storage Meat.
Believing that the meat ordinance as
prepared by City Health Officer Mar-
cellus will be passed by the City Cora-
mission in modified form, small pack-
rs who have opposed the measure are
planning to insist upon the inspection
stamp to be used to include, in addition
to other figures, the date of inspection.
In pushing this proposal the small
concerns say they will hamper the
storage meat, which often is a men
ace to the meat business. They say
meat is placed in cold storage and
often kept for years. The consumer,
the dealers say, are entitled to know
when the official inspection stamp waa
placed on the meat.

SLAYER FORMER OKEGOX MAN
Thomas Ilardin Leaves Record of
Being Arrested at Oregon City. j
iw T.-r x riTV rr Al rch 12. (SDe-
ciaL) That Thomas Hardin, the man j
who killed two persons, shot his wife
and then killed himself at Chehalis
Wednesday night, was an ex-resident
of Oregon City and had been arrested
here as a result of a saloon fight was
revealed tonight.
On Labor day, 1911, Hardin engaged
in a quarrel with Frederick Hoffmann
at a saloon in this city and both were
arrested by Sheriff Mass. Hoffmann
was cut about the face and hands, but
the wounds did not result seriously.
Hardin fled after being bound over to
the grand jury and was located at
Chehalis. Wash. Sheriff Mass re
turned Hardin, who pleaded guilty be
fore the Circuit Court- Judge Camp
bell sentenced him to an indeterminate
sentence of from six months to two
years, but suspended the sentence
through sympathy for the man s ram
ilv.
Hardin came to Oregon from Vir
ginia with his family shortly before
the trouble in the saloon here. He
lived in the country a short distance
from town and was employed cutting
wood. He had been arrested several
times previous to the quarrel with
Hoffmann. The date of his leaving
this city for Chehalis is not known
here.

that have been accomplished by the

splendid Neal Institutes located in prin
cipal cities are high-class institutions
owned, operated and patronized by
high-class men.
Like the Chicago Neal Institute a
hundred thousand dollar building owned
by the Neal Company and located In the
beautiful Drexel Boulevard residential
district, and the Springfield, 111., Neal

the sixty Neal Institutes arc located in
the hish-class residence sections of the
different cities.
Names of patients are never used, but
if any one will take the time to call at
any Neal Institute or write for litera
ture they will be satisfied by their "own
eyes and ears."
Because of the short time required,
the modern scientific methods, the
harmless medicines that are used with
out hypodermic injections and the
privacy that is assured, high-class men
and women who investigate gladly
seek and secure the benefits of the
