GENERAL RESEIITS
CHARGE OF FAVOR
Tacoma Police Not Corrupted
as Those of Seattle, Camg
Commander Says.
THREAT DOES NOT WORRY
Mayor Gill May Appeal to Washing
ton, Major-General Greene Doesn't
Care City Near Mt. Rainier
k Js Called Practically Clean.
; TACOMA, Nor. 23. Major-General II.
A. Greene this morning consented to
make a statement regarding his order,
posted yesterday, ordering- men and of
ficers at Camp Lewis to remain away
from Seattle unless they have permis
sion to visit that city.
The General said:
"I regret very much that it was
necessary for me to quarrantine Seattle
so far as troops of the 91st Division are
concerned. Many innocent persons will
have hardships visited upon them on
this account. I believe that the vast
majority of the people of Seattle will
see to it that something is done in the
very near future to lead to the removal
of the quarantine. That is my wish.
"I do not care to be mixed up in any
controversy over the action that has
been taken. I am not worrying about
any action that Mayor Gill may take
in Washington, D. C. He will find that
his pains are takri in vain.
"I resent the implication that I am
favoring Tacoma at the expense of
Seattle. Tacoma has nothing to do
with my action. The fact is that Ta
coma is clean in comparison with Se
attle, and I have no preference for
either city. There may be some vice
in Tacoma that is to be expected
but it is not on an organized basis as
In Seattle. The police officials of Ta
coma have not been corruped as have
many of the Seattle officials.
"There is no need for controversy
over the quarantine. My action was
taken after due consideration, and I
will be happier than anyone else if
Seattle cleans up so the quarantine
can be removed."
"CXEAX-CP PARADE" PJjAXNED
Seattle Women to Hold Mass Meet
ing; Gill Will Not Resign.
SEATTLE. Nov. 23. Seattle women.
Including members of the Federation
of Women's Clubs and many engaged
In Red Cross work, today planned to
hold a mass meeting immediately and
consider steps to remove the order
barring Camp Lewis soldiers from vis
iting Seattle, which was posted at the
camp yesterday by Major-General H.
' A. Greene.
Leaders of the women asserted the
meeting would probably develop into a
clean-up" parade from the meeting
place to the City Hail, where demands
would be made upon city officials that
they remedy conditions in Seattle in
compliance with General Greene's re
quest. Mayor Hiram C. Gill announced em
phatically today that he would not
resign, in spite of; demands reported
made from various sources that he al
low some other man to step into Jiis
place and do the things General Greene
says must be done before soldiers from
Camp Lewis can visit Seattle again.
"The clean-up policy of the police
department will be continued without
Interruption and there will be no
change in the head of that department,"
Mayor Gill said today.
Charles L. Beckinham is at present
Chief of Police.
CHILD SETS BARN ON FIRE
Building' and Contents at Deaverton
Are Destroyed.
BEAVERTON, Or., Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) While many friends had gath
ered to give Otto Muessig a surprise
party in honor of his 28th birthday, his
little son slipped out to the barn with
matches and set fire to the hay, then
ran into the house, saying "barn is on
fire."
An alarm was turned in and Hose
Company No. 1, with Chief Stipe, re
sponded promptly and soon had the
flames under control. It was lucky
that an east wind was blowing, other
wise adjoining buildings would have
been destroyed also. The barn, hay,
fruit and some potatoes were destroyed.

WAR INTEREST IMPELLING
Public Service Commission Chair
man, In Interview, Declares Ills
Desire to See Good Transporta
tion Results in Decision.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 23. (Special.)
Frank J. Miller, chairman of the Pub
lic Service Commission. today an
nounced his candidacy for re-election
as a member of that commission.
With the announcement of Mr. Miller
the field of possible candidates for
gubernatorial honors is that much nar
rowed. Mr. Miller, for some time, had
given serious consideration to the pos
sibility of entering the field in the race
for the Governorship and his friends
had groomed him for that place.
In saying he would become a candi
date for a place on the Public Service
Commission he accompanied his an
nouncement with no formal statement.
I feel deeply interested in. trans
portation problems on account of the
war, ' he said in an interview. "I have
kept in close touch with transportation
conditions and. will endeavor to serve
the people in this position in the same
manner as I have in the nasi
Mr. Miller First Elected In 1914. -
"I also have a direct nersonnl inter
est in a successful prosecution of the
war from the fact that I ha vn a ani in
the service who 1 expect will soon be
in France.
"It is my hope to sea the fmronnr.
tation system of the state kent m it
highest degree of efficiency so every
thing will tend to aid the Government
in meeting its requirements and so that
no effort may be neglected to assist in
furthering Governmental needs."
Air. Miller was first elected am a
member of the Public Service Commis
sion in 1910 and was re-elerteH in
1914, at which time he received the
greatest majority that had vet been
cast for any candidate In the history
of the state.
A. II. Lea Possible Contender.
His home is in Albanv. TwIca hefnra
he was elected from the state at large
and will also be a candidate from the
state at large the coming election. One
of the other Commissioners is elected
from the district west of the Cascade
Mountains and the other from the dis
trict east of the mountains.
So far the only candidate discussed
as a possible successor to Mr. Miller
Is A. H. Lea, secretary of the State
Fair board. His friends are known to
be active in his behalf and are anxious
that he enter the race, although as yet
he has offered no statement na to
whether he will or will not become a
candidate.
Three Lead Field.
The retirement of Mr. Miller a a
possibility in the gubernatorial cam
paign definitely narrows that field
down now to Governor Withycombe,
Secretary of State Olcott and Gus C.
Moser, president of the State Senate.
It is expected that all three of these
officials will announce their respective
candidacies for the Governorship with
in a comparatively snort time.
So far aj Is now known no other
active possibilities are at hand, al
though numerous names have been
mentioned, including District Attorney
Evans, of Multnomah County: Charles
Johns, attorney of Multnomah County,
wno was a candidate three years ago;
Dr. -J. E. Anderson, of The Dalles, and
number of others. None of these.
however, has allowed his candidacy to
assume such definite proportions as to
warrant the statement that he prob
ably will entertherace.
CAPTIVE HOLDS UP WARDEN
