V ho Advises Chief or Police
to Proceed Iessitc Order.
SEATTLE, Wash.. May 11. Seventy
five thousand dollars' worth of liquor
was seized by the police late today In
the most sweeping raid made since the
.tate-wide prohibition law went Into
effect January 1. Two large "ware
houses 'and nine drugstores were
searched, but no arrests were made
and none of the liquor was destroyed.
The police obtained warrants for the
xearch of 12 places of business where
liquor was suspected to be stored, and
In the first five places searched seized
$25,000 worth of liquor.
Moyor In In Charge.
Mayor Hiram C. Gil. who personally
superintended the work of 40 police
men who made the raid, said that the
liquor would be held by the police long
enough to give the claimants an op
portunity to establish that they had
not violated the law, but expressed the
belief that little of it would be returned.
"Most of it will find its way into the
Bowers, I believe," said the Mayor.
The following places were raided by
the police:
Kyres & Seattle Drajasre Company ware
house, foot of Main street.
MrDoufal Transfer Company warehouse,
fK2 Post street.
Chartier drug store, 1214 Second avenue.
Woodcock drug; store, 604 Pike street.
Virginia drug store, 2013 First avenue.
"Washington Annex drug store, Second
avenue and Stewart street.
Smith's drug store. Second avenue and
James street.
Central drug store, 515 Pine street.
J. O. Second rharmaey. Sixth avenue
Couth and King street.
Knapell's Pharmacy, Eighth avenue and
Fine street.
White Pharmacy, 726 Pike street.
Inventory Not Completed.
Most of the liquor was taken from
'the Eyres & Seattle Drayage Company
warehouse, where liquor estimated in
value between $-'3,000 and $30,000 had
been stored by 15 druggists. Complete
inventory of the liquor seized had not
been taken tonight, but Mayor Gill and
Chief of Police Charles Beckingham es
timated the value of the seizures at
$75,000.
Most of the liquor taken .from the
Eyres & Seattle Drayage Company
warehouse belonged to the James-
street Pharmacy, on James street be
tween Second avenue and Occidental
street.
An invoice of the goods belonging to
the James-street Pharmacy showed 4
cases of whisky, seven cases of gin, 20
barrels of Scotch containing 50 gallons
each, 40 barrels of beer in pint bottles,
2S barrels of beer in quart bottles and
one barrel of brandy.
Double Violation Cssrged.
Mayor Gill authorized the police t
make the raids on two grounds. H
charged that many drugstores had
larger amounts of liquor in, stock than
their aggregate permits taken out at th
County Auditor's office called for. He
.lso charged that only 10 druggists had
complied with the city prohibition ordi
nance requiring druggists to file state
ments with the City Controller show
ing the amount of liquor they had re
ceived. The druggists said the ordi
nance required statements on liquor
shipments from one part of the state
to another and did not apply to ship
ments received from points outside the
state.
While the police were searching the
Kyres warehouse the work was stopped
temporarily by the arrival of a deputy
fcheriff with a temporary restraining
order preventing the police from de
stroying the liquor. "Walter Eyres,
manaser of the warehouse, maintained
that the order issued by Superior Judge
J. T. Ronald prevented the police from
continuing the search.
Mayor Defies, Radicals.
Mayor Gill, who is a lawyer, exam
ined the document, announced that it
merely was an order to appear in court
Kriday and show cause why an injunc
tion should not be issued, and ordered
the police to proceed.
In less than an hour another deputy
sheriff appeared with another order
from Judge Ronald, which Mr. Eyres
said wus an injunction, and also a
show-cause order. Again Mayor Gill
examined the paper and said that it
was not shown that a bond had Been
furnished and for that reason the order
meant nothing more than the first or
der to appear in court Friday morn'
lng and show cause.
"That is an injunction," hotly de
clared Mr. Eyres, 'and if you continue
the search in this place you stand lia
ble- to contempt ofcourt."
a "I would advise you. Chief," said
Mayor Gill, addressing Chief Becking
liam. "to proceed with your work."

Men Disdaining White - Jacketed
Gentry Become Patrons of
Chicago Innovation.
CHICAGO. May 11. (Special.) The
"shaveteria." or barberless barber shop.
first of its kind in-the world so far as
known here, came into existence today,
taking its place with the horseless car
riage and the walterless restaurant
Judging from the rush of patronage,
a crying need has been answered. It
is a tremendous time-saver.
"Shave yourself." said the sign. "No
barbers, no tips, no waste of time. All
the comforts of home. Step inside."
On one side of the shop were regular
barbers. On the other side stood a row
of compartments. Each compartment
had a lavatory and all the Implements
of shaving, for the use of which a dime
was charged.
During the morning the "shaveteria"
lured strong men off the street. Men
disdainful of the white-jacketed razor
guild, men too hurried to stop, and
men who had heretofore regarded whis
kers as an economy, turned in. All the
comforts of home were present except
that the razors on tap had not doubled
as can-openers in the forenoon and
pencil-sharpeners in the evening.
The owner of the shop expressed
himself as delighted with the first re
sults. "There's a. certain class of mep who
haven't time for barbers except on Sun
day." he said. "They don't like to pay
the regular price and the tip."

SAN LUTS OBISPO. Cal., ' May 11
That the three men in the lifeboat
which came ashore at Port San Lui
yesterday are the sole survivors of the
steamer Roanoke v. as strongly indicat
ed today, when the vessels that have
been searching thu waters for signs of
wreckage and the missing lifeboats re
ported their efforts fruitless. The re
port that a lifeboat with one man alive
on board had been picked up by the
steamer Edgar H. Vance was not confirmed.
The three survivors in a hospital here
are slowly regaining their strength and
were able today to tell something of
events on the Roanoke leading up to
the vessel's tragic end.
Overloading Charged by Men.
According to these men, the crew re
monstrated with the captain when the
vessel was in San Francisco loading
that too much cargo was being put
aboard and that it was being improper
ly stowed.
When the Roanoke sailed, at mid
night. May 8, they said, she was listed
slightly to starboard and. when bad
weather was encountered Tuesday
morning, attempt was made to get the
ship on an even keel by trimming car
go. The effort was in vain, however,
and when, on Tuesday, the cargo shift
ed and caused the vessel to heel at a
dangerous angle. Captain Dickson or
dered part of, the cargo thrown over
board.
Vessel Lists Heavily.
This also failed to restore the Roan
oke to proper trim, and at 2:30 P. M.
the vessel took a heavy list to star
board. Fifteen minutes later Captain
Dickson gave the order to prepare to
abandon ship.
1 ne boats on the port side were
launched. Two of them were swamped.
Four got away safely.

plied. She wore the only white ribbon

CROOKSTON, Minn.. May 11 The

EL, PASO. Tex.', Maj 11. After al
most two weeks of discussion the con
ference of Generals Scott, Funston and
Obregon over American troop dlspo
sltlons in Mexico came to an end to
night without any agreement.
The whole matter was referred back
to the American and de facto govern
ments to be settled through diplomatic
channels.
The situation tonight is almost ex
actly where it stood before the confer
ences began. The Mexican Governmen
still insists on the withdrawal of Gen
crp.l Pershing's columns on a certal
date and wants that date to come
quickly. It Is known that General Obre
gon has been willing to make cencea
sions in order to reach an agreement
with the American conferees. He has
been overruled, however, by the firs
chief, Venustiano Carranza, and his ad
vlsers. After practically conceding th
demands of the American conferees he
was compelled to reverse his attitude
Two Co Terences Held.
The end of the negotiations came to
day after two conferences had been
held. The first began at 10 o'clock
the morning and lasted until I P. M.
when a recess was taken until 4 o'cloc
to permit General Obregon to keep a
lunch engagement.
Sharp on the hour, the discussions
were renewed. After two hours and a
half, however, they were brought to an
end. General Obregon, accompanied by
Juan N. Amador. Mexican sub-Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, emerged from the
private car occupied by Generals Scott
and Funston, walked rapidly down the
railway yards, climbed into his Waiting
automobile and drove away.
General Obregon was accompanied to
his machine by General Funston. The
Mexican conferee's manner was abrupt
and vexed, but General Funston smiled
cheerily as he bade good-bye.
Formal Statement Made.
General Funston re-entered the car.
Then Colonel Robert E. Lee Michie.

distributed copies of the following
