OlMAYDR RACE KEEP PLANS DARK leattle Voters Not Stirred by Promotion Schemes. DEAN MILLER WITHDRAWS Initiative Mcasnre to Iioad Cost of Operating Carlines on Tax Kolls Made Campaign Issue. FTTGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, fTasiL, March 24.. Seattle citizen may fe wildly excited over the approacn-tng- city election. There is no doubt Uiat some of them are me cam- Idates, for instance, and members 01 fcommittees employed in promoting land opposing various local issues. iUut if the emotions of the great ma- pority have been, stirred tney are fnanaging to keep all manifestations well under cover. Time curass v knany of the "campaign headquarters that dot the business section 01 fcity, and no amount of eloquence nis tv&t heen strons enough to bring out ft real crowd at any of the daily and friiirhtlv political meetings. With only a few days more ior res- titration of voters the doors close IMarrh 28 the total hangs around 0.00, a sharp declin from the high- hvater mark of 121.30b reacnea :921. There will be the usual rush luring the closing hours, of course .ut. iudsring from this short distance, she registration officers doubt if the total on the night of aiarcn zs can ttain to the 99.157 aggregate listed for the mayoralty election of 19J0 -'or the accommodation of home-stay- tnsr citizens the registration books re :ently were sent for two days into every precinct of the city. Only Sew thousand voters took advantage Dt the opportunity to save themselves tritl to the city hall. The city controller's compilation of extra :r.sts for these two days shows that the city paid just 60 cents for every voter so registered. Seven In Race tor Mayor. There are seven candidates for lavor. each wishing mat me omcra unierht be disposed of .at once in the manner ascribed to Wordsworth s lit i-le maid: each plugging away in the Ihope of being the sole survivor. And there are 21 candidates lor the tnree iplaces to be filled in the city council -two women and 19 men.; -By torce f numbers, multiplied and extended Ithroueh campaign organization in be- Ibalf of each individual candidate, all Ithese should have been able by this itime to arouse the electorate to a Ijrreater degree of interest and activ ity. But the electorate has remained indifferent almost to the point of ipathy. The campaign has not yet jreached the stage of scandalizing and lii.terchange of bitter personalities. There were eight candidates for 1 mayor. During the few days there was more excitement among the can didates than elsewhere. Actually at the eleventh hour before the time for I filing closed, Stephen I. Miller, dean of the college of business administratron of the state university, was induced ito declare himself a candidate. In entering the Tit est Dean Miller an nounced that he had done so under IfriendJy duress, and that he reserved the right to withdraw if he should change his mind. Dean Miller Withdraw. The community at large hardly had la chance to glimpse Dean Miller as a I candidate; but the candidates who Shad preceded him in the field quickly sensed the fact that he would be a (formidable contender. Search of the records was immediately undertaken Iand doubt raised as to whether or not Dean Miller had been a Seattle tax payer for four full years, as is re quired of a candidate for mayor. Be fore that question could be definitely settled the dean quit of his own ac cord. The higher authorities of the university, including President Suz zallo and the board of regents, are ! known to be opposed to partieipat'on in politics by members of the faculty. I That and other influences brought to bear by certain business interests ef fected the change in Dean Milter's mind. The feeling of relief in the camps lof all other candidates for mayor has been undisguised. As a specialist in business administration, which, the I city is convinced it needs, and as a fast and forceful speaker, with a plentiful supply of the vigorous lan- ruage that goes ' so well in a cam- Ipaign, Dean Miller was conceded a leading place in the contest durtne the few days of his candidacy. That he was brought into the race at all is generally regarded as a gesture of dissatisfaction with the candidacy of Walter F. Meier, and an indication, of discord among the business and nro- feseionai elements that were s-ud- i posea to oe sondiy behind Mr. Meier this assumption gives all the more hope to the six remaining candidates who are now contending against the recognized leadership of Mr. Meier. Issraes Are Unchanged. The so-called "issues' of the mu nicipal campaign show" no change rrom day to day. Candidates for mayor and council are all in favor of progress and retrenchment, of spend- i"s "u saving, 01 expenditure and economy, of discharging all city obli gations if they must and getting out of burdensome contracts if that be possible, of going ahead here and backing up there. City government costs and taxes must be cut; but nothing should be done to crfmn or curtail any of the great enterprises that the city has undertaken. ine only issue that continues tn excite public interest and this en tirely apart from any consideration of the candidates is the initiative neasure to load the cost of mainte nance and operation of the municipal street railway system onto the gen eral tax roll and charere a faro ti- mated at 3 cents, with which' ulti mately to pay the $15,000,000 pur chase price of the system and inter est as it fails due. Propaganda in favor of thi ( had made much progress before there was any organized attemnt t rii. lance. In fact, so much progress seems to have been made that hA -n efforts in opposition have been al most panicky. The initiative franklv proposes, an increase in general tax ation of 21 mills, bringing the aggre- '-"y i" to mills. The effort now is to array all property owners in opposition. The more nroncrtv man owns in Seattle the more he will be hurt by such an increase i..,. ehip in the fight natural!? by large property owners, who must convince tne little fellow that he is going to be hurt just as budl-c 1 r,, portion. Many Experiments Conducted. This task Is made the more rlirfi. cult by the discount exacted hv events on previous predictions of cs-eaoTui consequences if Seattle did this, that or the other thing. Con trary to many such predictions, Se attle has survived through much ex perimentation in municipal ownership ana weira economics. The eeneral in clination is to accept the growth and prosperity of the city as evidence of Moving Picture News a . a TODAY'S FILM FEATIRES. Liberty Alma Rubens, ."Find the Woman."

It is Carl Laemle's "million dollar" production, about which film fans have been reading for so long. "Fool ish Wives" is considered one of the most widely advertised pictures ever shown. The picture has been breaking box office records in many large cities. At the Capitol theater in New York, the world's largest motion-picture theater, "Foolish Wives" broke all previous records. Ori the opening day 22,466 persons attended. The previous record had been held by Pola Negri in "Passion," which drew 17,000 at the opening. Elaborate settings mark the pic ture as distinctive. Much has been written about the lavish Monte Carlo sets, constructed under the direction of Erich von Stroheim for this pic ture. Those who have seen the pic ture say that Monte Carlo has been faithfully and realistically repro duced. It is estimated that more than J40.000 was spent for sets alone. It took more than 18 months to produce "Foolish Wives." The last six months were spent in cutting and editing the S20.000 feet of film taken. Only the most striking scenes and the most perfect photography were re tained. Scores of prominent society folk of San Francisco are said to have taken part as "extras" to give tone to the promenade scenes. Erich von Stroheim appears in the role of Count Sergius. the villain.

That Seattle might have been so much the better, strong er and greater city without so many useless tests and trials is merely a matter for argument. All this is a serious handicap to the organized opponents of the initiative measure, which is known for cam paign purposes as the "3-cent fare measure." Their tactics thus far are identical with the tactics of earlier campaigns. No prediction of disaster is too extreme or in any way incred ible. Seattle's big spring building programme, noted by the local news papers after publication in The Ore- gonian, will be immediateJy suspend ed if the 3-cent scheme carries; new hotels that Seattle has been asking someone to build for several years never will be built; scores of manu facturing concerns just about to come here will stay away, those now here will close their doors; the business and industrial sections of the city will be depopulated; the 84-mill tax rate will result in general confisca tion of property; there will be none to ride even at the 3-cent fare, and the town will be dead and done for. "Thafs what they said before," is the usual retort of the 3-cent fare proponents. But the 84-mill tax rate, not disputed by either side, is some thing that even the smallest taxpayer is likely to stop and think about be fore. he casts his votei The issue will finally be decided, not so much by what may or may not happen to the community as a whole, and more with respect to its effect on the pocket book of each individual taxpayer. TIES ARE TO BE CEMENTED Minister Piles Will Slake Every Effort to Build Friendship. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, March 24. Samuel H. Plies of Seattle,- newly appointed United States minister to Colombia, has started on his mission filled with kindly pur pose. He . expects to reach Bogota some time in April, and he says he is going to do everything in' his power to cement or weld or otherwise se cure the bonds of friendship between tne Colombia or bimon Bolivar and Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean. In the political history of Senator, or Minister, Piles, there is record of but one broken promise. In 1905, when he was elected United States senator by the Washington legisla ture, it was with the distinct under standing that he was to lift the dome off the national capitol and chuck it into the Potomac river, also to tear the shingles or-slates from the roof of the White House all this if he could not otherwise obtain .recogni tion of the rights and satisfaction in full of the demands of the people of his state. This was the pledge made by Mr. Piles as a candidate in the campaign preceding the legislative session There was no direct primary in Wash ington those days, but Mr. Piles went directly to the people in the 1904 fall campaign and made a number of speeches. His pledge to play hob if he didn't get what he went after came along as the climax of his speeches and usually followed a brief survey of the particular needs and desires of the section of the state in which he happened to be speaking. When the 1905 legislature con vened Mr. Piles had a number of votes tied up, but not enough to elect him. It wasn't until Charles Sweeny, the millionaire mining man of Spokane, tired of being a candidate and swung his strength to Piles, that the two thirds necessary to an election was lined up for the Seattle candidate. It has always been agreed that Senator Piles served his state as well as anv new senator could have served it. He didn't get everything that the state wanted or that was wanted by the various sections of the state; In spite of which he made no devastat ing raid either upon the capitol dome or the White House roofing. Dome and roof were still intact when he retired in 1910. Slnde they now afford shelter to many of his friends, as indicated by his recent appointment and confirmation. Minister Piles is no doubt glad that he left them in place. Mr. Piles quit the senate at the close of his one term; he was -not a candidate for re-eleotion. The 1910 senatorial election in this state was the second to be held under the direct primary, and the progressive wave was then rolling up toward high tide. Senator Piles was not of that wing of the republican- party, and keen politi cal foresight had something to do with his refusal to seek a second term. Aside from that, he insisted that he could not afford to hold a seat in the senate; that the personal cost to him was in excess of the sen atorial salary and he had no accu mulation of private means to draw vpon, He supported Judge Burke in TIT15 Other principals in the cast are Maude George, Mae Busch, Rudolph Christians, Caesare Gravina, Malveen Polo and Dale Fuller. in addition to lavish sets, '"Foolish Wives" contains a number of thrill ing scenes, including the burning of the count's villa, in which the count and the foolish ' wife have been trapped, and a storm scene. Screen Gossip. Due to the request of hundreds who have been unable to see Mark Twain's famous satire, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," which has been playing to large houses at the Elue Mouse theater for the last two weeks, Manager Hamrick announces that this attraction will be held over for a few days more. All the humor of the popular book has been main tained in the lines of the screen production. There are a number of big spectacle" scenes in which thou sands of persons appear. Harry My ers is splendid as the Yankee. A specially written musical score accornpanies the showing of this pro duction rendered by the new Blue Mouse concert orchestra under the leadership of Antone Stechele. Pauline Frederick in "Two Kinds of Woman" opens at the Hippodrome theater today. The story is that of a girl who inherits a ranch and has to engage in a hot fight to keep from being swindled out of it. She meets a man on the ranch whom she ad mires but who does not admire wom en who dress in cowboy habilaments and who shoot like Daniel Boones. Later he sees her arrayed in a Paris creation and then realizes that she is two kinds of woman and that the re spect he has for. the one will make him love the other only more. "Why .Announce Your Marriage?" an Elaine Hammerstein starring ve hicle, which was originally booked for ' showing at the Peoples theater, will be the attraction, commencing next Saturday, at the Majestic theater. "Why Announce Your Marriage?" is light comedy, in which the troubles of a young couple who enter a secret marriage are used as a theme for the plot. Erich von Stroheim, who produced "Foolish Wives," the million-dollar photoplay which is this week's attrac tion at the Peoples, now is engaged in another mammoth production, the filming of which has just been com menced at Universal City. the senatorial primary contest which resulted in the nomination and first election to the senate of Miles Po'n dexter. For the past 12 years Senator Piles has been attending to his law prac tice, but always with a lively interest ir. politics and public affairs. He has long been chairman of the national affairs committee of the Seattle chamber of commerce. .In this ca pacity his last public appearance be fore his appointment' to Bogota was before the foreign trade conference in Tacoma in December, 1921, where he pleaded for indorsement of the Ameri can valuation clause of the Fordney tariff bill.

OLTMPIA, Wash., March 24. (Spe cial.) Only patent defects can be covered by a contract to purchase goods, waiving claim for defects within a certain time after delivery, the supreme court held today, affirm ing Judge Alston of Snohomish county in the case of -oa Angeles Olive Grow ers' association versus Pacific Grocery company. The plaintiff sued on an account and the defendant counter-claimed for damages on a defective shipment of 576 cases of tomatoes. The defects in the cans, very small holes which ad mitted air slowly, were not discov ered until after the goods were paid for. These were latent defects, the su preme court held, and were not cov ered by the contract of purchase nor was recovery precluded by the fact that the grocery had paid for the goods. The lower court allowed the defendant recovery of J1108.70 after deducting the amount of the account sued on, which recovery was sus tained.
