Accordingly, when the new Council
Is ivorn In. at high noon on Monday.
March i. five of Its members will ba
new and untried In municipal legis
lation, and only four will have had ex
perience In tha offices they will fill. Of
the latter. Wardail haa seen the long
est service. He will then begin his
third term. He waa the "boy Mayor,
who. while acting aa chief executive
during the absence of Mayor Hiram C.
;ill last Hummer, removed Chief of
loilce Charles W. Wappensteln. and
thereby started the agitation which led
to the recall election and to the pres
ent topsy-turvy condition of Seattle
politic.
Among the successful candidates, the
most remarkable run waa that made
by Erlckson. H recelvej 31.eS. rote
out of :.!": that Is, mora than two
trurds of the total. HI nearest com

gubernatorial possibility.
Hesketh'a election la an Instanca of
the vagaries of political fortune. Soma
years ago ha was assistant cook at tb
Rutler Hotel, and the story goe that
one day h burned a steak, for which
erfensa he waa promptly discharged by

becomes a candidate for tha Council,
goes to tba polls, defeats his old em
ployer In open contest and Is trium
phantly elected to the second place.
The reward tor a beefsteak over dona
ii elevation to tha Council, and the
ultimata punishment waa defeat of the
man who "Bred" him.
Com mil tees to Be Curtailed.
- On of tha revolutionary changes In
t new council will be the curtail
ing vf committees. In keeping with
the policy that ha cut down tha mem
bership of that body from IS members
to nine, the committee will ba re
duced from II to nine. They will b
Judiciary, finance, streets, lighting,
water. franchises. licenses. healta
and sanitation, and public service.
Vnder the present system only a few
of the committees will ba active, but
the new order will undertake to start
a revolutionary change.
in addition to the election of won
cllmen. tiie most vital and Interesting
contest was the special election pro
viding a bond Issue of ISrtO.Ooo for a
municipal streetcar line extending from
Salmon Bay on the north to the south
ern llmlta of the city at Taylor's Mill,
a station on the Seattle. Itenton and
Southern. The distance Is 1 miles, all
but four of which are covered by tha
Crawford lines. The bond Issue waa
carried by the declslva vote of IS.24
for. to 14.754 against. Outside of tha
Rainier Valley, which baa been a vic
tim of double fare, there waa no In
terest In the bond Issue on til tha Seat
tle Electrlo Company, a Stone 4c Web
ater corporation, mysteriously broke
Into tha fight. A week before the
election Its emissaries mailed at mid
night a vast number of circulars and
other printed matter, understood to ag
gregate 71.000 coplea, or one for every
voter In the city, and made an effort
to secure special ordera that it an do
promptly distributed.
Every elector In the city was bom
barded with copies of this line of ar
gument, which cam anonymously sava
for the names of a committee of tha
Chamber of Commerce: and the effect
seemed to be a feeling; of resentment
that the corporation was showing so
lively an Interest In the overthrow of
tha bond. I'erhap It is too much to
sy that If the Seattle Electrlo Com
pany had kept its hand off the bond
might have been defeated: yet there
Is little doubt that the activity of tb
corporation stimulated the supporters
of the bond, and served no other pur
pose than to convince tha people that
If the company opposed municipal
ownership then tha bonds would ba a
good thing.
Bonds May Be Offered.
Since the election Controller William
J Botbwell baa given out a newapaper
Interview suggesting that the bonds
he offered in small denominations to
the elttxens of Seattle. While ths
credit of Seattle at present 1 not Im
paired In tha least degree, he bellevea
hat to place a bond issue In tha East
would be difficult. Inaeraucb a a pro
ject of that nature would not be re
garded favorably: moreover, that the
Interest of the cltUena in a road which

be greatly Increased.

Offlclnl AMio lias Kept Close Check
on Others Not Disturbed by Petitioners-
Some Embarrassing
Questions Are ' Asked.'
TACOMA. Wash.. March lL (Special.)
That there Is going to bo no dearth of
candidates In the field to oppose Ta
coma's present five city officers at tha
coming recall elections, was indicated
this week, although there still remains
the lark of the prominent and able busi
ness men of that class the Charter Com
mission had In mind when It framed Ta
coma' s present plan of government.
First to come out the past week as a
candidate for Mayor was Charles Erury,
a prominent member of the citlzeni' re
call committee of 15 named at that Meth
odist church mass meet'ng held several
weeks ago. Mr. Drury formallr an
nounced that he would be a candidate to
oppose Mayor Fawcett. The announce
ment was not altogether pleasing- to oth
er members of the committee of 15. That
body has taken no steps yet to present
any candidate, and feels somewhat em
barrassed with one of Its members al
ready In the race, although the commit
tee of J5 took no part In circulating tha
FawcetC recall petition.
Seymour Ursed to Ran.
W. W. Seymour, president of the Met
ropolitan park board, la being urged by
his friends to enter the Mayoralty race,
and probably will do so, and Is tha
strongest candidate who has yet appeared.
Mr. Seymour Is a man of wealth and
education. Is a successful business man
and his friends are confident he la one
upon whom all factions can unite. He
Is exactly the caliber of a man the
framers of the commission plan charter
had in mind as chief executive.
James H. Davis, chairman of the ap
propriations committee of the House In
the present Legislature. announced
Thursday that he would be a candidate
against Fawcett and Drury. Davis is s
former county official, was a member
of the State Board of Control for a long
time, was manager of James M. Ashton's
Senatorial campaign last Fall aad as
chairman of the appropriations commits
tee has mads what his friends say is a
fine showing. Davis has a strong fol
lowing in Tacoma and may prjve a for
midable candidate. He is young and en
ergotlc is not a fad-follower. Is known as
a man of backbone and at this time looks
like a strong candidate.
K. A. Lynn, for four years a member of
the City Council and president of the last
Council, under the old form of govern
ment, will also be In the race. Ha has
not formally announced himself, but will
do so. Lynn Is a photographer and made
a fair record In the Council. He was a
candidate at the regular election last
Spring, and waa high man next to Faw
cett who. however, had sufficient ma
jority to elect him without tne formality
of a second election.
Judson and Lister Mentioned.
Edward B. Judson, a prominent realty
man. Is being much mentioned and may
enter tba race for the mayoralty also.
Ernest Lister, the well-known con
tractor, la thinking seriously of enter
ing tha mayoralty race and It would
not be surprising were an announce
ment to coma from him any day.
There are not many candidates In
the field yet for the four commisslon
ershlps. Frank M. Lamborn la being
prominently spoken of to oppose Com
missioner Freeland for the Depart
ment of Finance. Lamborn has served
In the council under the old form o
rnmint and Is a prominent nnd
successful business man. His friends
believe he would win and he is quite
likely to enter the race. He Is a mem
ber of the firm of Allen e Lamborn.
job printers.
Clarence Parker, the printer, un
doubtedly will be a candidate to suc
ceed Commissioner Lawson In tho De-
. n.hi mil Water. Parker
pBIIUiriK ... r. ,
waa an aspirant for a Job aa commis
sioner last spring out laneo.
There la lots of time, however, for
other candidates to get In the race and
It Is expected there will be plenty of
them.
Fonr Elections Possible.
T aroma's recall experience Is likely
to cost the taxpayers about U.000 this
Spring. As at a regular election. If no
candidate for an office haa a majority
of tha votes cast, the first election
operates ss a primary and a second Is
necessnry to decide between the two
high men. There will bn two recall
eleotlona, one on the mayoralty and
one on the four commlsalonershlps.
This meana that four electlona are a
possibility. he average cost of each
being about $2800.
Recall petitions filed Thursday with
the city clerk by the committee of 15
showed the fewest signatures agatust
Commissioner 'Woods of the Depart
ment of Public Works, with Commis
sioner L. Roys of tha Department of
Public 6afety next above him. Tha
Woods petition hnd S28 signers and
tha Roys petition 331 with 3071 neces
sary for recall in each caae. Both
Woods and Roys may really be re
garded aa capable city officials and
both are likely to be re-elected. Each
Is holding a two-year terra. Poth arc
men of experience In city affalra end
the general sentiment of the recall
petition signers, say members of the
committee, was that Woods and Roys
were the two best men of tha five.
I.awpon Most Unpopular.
Commissioner Lawson led In unpop
ularity on the recall with 4030 signa
tures nn the De tltion against him. Com-
-loner Freeland came next with J9tS
signers. Lawson and Freeland are
four year men and. although they re
ceived the most votes at the reguUr
election last Spring, seem to 'lave
pleased the public the least of all the
city officials.
Meanwhile City Controller Meads sits
back. In his office and enjoyn the dis
comfort of his brother officials. Ha is
the only elective officer In Tacoma's
government whom It la not sought to
recall. His friends admit Meads is not
such an able accountant as he might be
but he brings home the bacon, keeps a
close check on the commissioners and
asks numerous fussy questions when
the payroll Is not strictly regular that
haa gained him a wider circle of friends
than he had even before election last
Spring. Except Meads all city officials
outside of the Mayor and four Com
missioners are appointive. Thus Meads
la dependent on no one for his Job and
It la developing that one of the wisest
things the charter commission did was
to milt the controller an elective of
ficial. Only Thursday at the commission
session Meads came through with
a J
bothersome question about H. A. White.
a "service man," whom Commissioner ;
Lawson had on his payroll for 28 full
days In February, when mere wt
only 22 working days in tho month.
Lawson explained that White Is really
a "timekeeper" and entitled to time
keeper's - pay. hence the difference,
which did not satisfy Controller Meads,
who Insisted that wnite snouia meu
be enrolled as a timekeeper and not as (
a service man. After the session Meads
asserted he believed that, if the truth
were known. White waa only a barn
man and not even a service man. The
commission referred the subject to
Commissioner Lawson for a report
later.
Embarrassing Questions Asked.
Meads also wanted to know about S.
A. Campbell, who was serving as a su
perior court witness from February 14
to March 3 and whose time was turned
in for 25 days In February, when the
month had only ZJ working days. Law
son explained Campbell was only In
court an hour or so a day and received
3125 a month flat, and the commission
Instructed the controller -to pay him
$113.85.
Such Incidents cropping up with fre
quency and getting Into the newspapers
have caused many votera to auspect
either the ability or good faith of some
of the commissioners. On another, re
cent occasion, for example. Controller
Meads reportevl that Commissioner
Lawson had three high-priced men on
his payroll aa watchmen at the old city
barn. There was little occasion to have
It watched, as the city had abandoned
it except for storing forgotten Junk,
and Meads wanted to know the whys
and wherefores before he drew the sal
ary warrants. It ended In the reten
tion of one watchman to look after the
building nights. Then, too, tha city's
payroll and expense bill has Increased
right along since the commission took
charge until th recall campaign started
when the payrolldropped oft 35000 from
the January figure.
Controller Meads Is not a bit bashful
about making publio.the payroll In
creases or Irregularities when he Issues
his reports

upon a cement contract with the city, R.

committee without detection.
After the contract had been performed
Gilfallln went East, and before go
ing left word at the City Hall that his
wife would get the balance of the
contract . price when ordered paid by
the Council, and which he knew would
amount to tha Bum of I52&.37. When
tha warrant waa issued, Mrs. Gilfallln
took the same to tho First National
Bank, and paid off two small notes, and
.the remainder was entered Into Gllfal
lin's account with the bank.
Gilfallln returned from tho East some
time In December, to discover that his

arrangements to right matters with the
city, ho was tempted to invest the
money In real estate. Notwithstanding
auch unwarranted actions he took upon
himself the duty to apply for the po
sition as Street Superintendent .under
the present administration, which place
he filled up to tho day of his discharge.
Confronted with the circumstanoes by
the City Auditor and Mayor, no excuse
could bo offered for his position which
tempted him to go wrong, other than
a strong Inclination to invest.
The error was discovered Saturday
by tho Auditor checking over the
South Sixth street special fund, which
Is yet an open aocount owing to the
macadam work not being finished en-
''"A'stormy session of the Council was
held last night over the matter, and it
was finally decided that the Auditor
should present the records of the case
before the Prosecuting Attorney for
