That J. W. Calley, state dairy
and food commissioner, did not
write the laws bv which his of
fice Is supposed to bo governed,
is the substance, of statements
secured today bv the pure food
committee of the Consumers'
league from D. C, Bums, cx-.
memtier of tho legislature, and
from W. W. Cotton.
"I took the law requiring the
monthly publication of a bulletin
of tests largely from the national
pur food laws and secured Its
passage four years ago," said Mr.
Hums. "At the same time I se
cured the passage of the puro t
food law. Bailey did not know
of thane Jaws, he had nothing to
do with their drafting. When I
naked why lie didn't enforce the
law requiring the monthly pub- .
lieatlon of a monthly bulletin he
said the spirit of It was dead,
that he didn't have money for the
purpose,, and all that sort of
thing, while all the time he knew ,
that the bulletin could have been
printed free of cost.'' .
r .w.v W. Cotton : told the cure
Joat'4nfant of - the vrdnsuhv'

Recall Election Results in De
feat of Open Town Element
Heavy Vote by Women;
Socialists Poll 5666.
(United Press Leaaed Wire.)
Seattle. Feb. 8. By a vote of 31,983
against 25,992 and with hut three smalt
precincts yet to hear from, the people
of Seattle yesterday recalled Mayor Hi
ram C. Gill and elected George W. DM
Ing to fill out te . unexpired term.
Edward J. Brown, Socialist candi
date, polled 6666 votes.
The recall was brought about by the
Welfare league, an organization of cit
izens who charged Gill with gross
inefficiency and his subordinate oflclals
with graft corruption. It was charged
that an organized vice syndicate was
protected by Chief of Police Charles W.
YVappenateln, an official whom GUI re
tained In office over the daily pro
tests of thousands of citizens and the
two leading dally newspaper of the
city.
Gill refuses to make any comment on
the- result of the election. -Today is his
last day in office, after nearly Yl
months as mayor of Seattle;
The vote will be .canvassed today.
Dilllng will assume tomorrow his du

Bowerman Bill Creating As
sistant Secretary of State
Regarded as Petty Political
Move.
(Speelal DlKixteh te The Journal.)
Salem, Or., Feh. 8. -Denounced by sev
eral Republicans as a purely political
move, backed by the "old guard," the
bill creating the office of assistant sec
retary of state and providing that he
shall discharge the duties of the secre
tary and sit on the board of control
during his absence, passed the house
this morning. Thirty-two voted for It
and 25 against, indicating that it will
fail should the governor use his veto
t'ower.
Most of the morning was consumed
In the debate, with Fouts, Amme and
Cottel of Multnomah, Brownhill of Yam
hill and Derby of Hood Rver leading In
the attack. Practically all of those
who talked in favor of the bill were
from the ranks of the "standpatters."
Immediately after the bill came up
on special order Derby moved to have
the' house consider it In a committee of
the whole. This motion failed and
Fouts than moved to have It referred to
the committee on irrigation for amend
ment. This move also failed.

Austrian Admiral's Forecast

(CnUfd Preaa ideated Wlre.l
Rome, Fob. 8. War between Italy and
Austria, which whk recently predicted
as inevitable by Admiral Chirarl of the
Austrian navy, Is admitted today by
Italian statesmen to be near. In official
circles the outlook is regarded with un
easiness, but the Italian people gemtr
ally consider their country 'more than t
match for Austria and ore determined to
force the government into a c.onl'lict to
recover the Italian provinces now un
der Austrian rule.
On paper the strength of the two ar
mies is about equal, but the Italians be.
Ilevo their forces are tho better organ
ized. On the sea Italy is easily the
stronger.
The only dread Italy has Is that Gor-
many may intervene to help Emperor
Franz Josef. Germany's treaty with
Auslria, it is pointed out, only calls
for active aid In tho event of invasion
"from the eastward," but It is feared
that should the clash come the kaiser
would be bard to restrain. Italy hopes,
however, that England might take
hand.

Chamberlain's bill for the relief of th
Siletz settlers clashes with the presi

that If the bill is enacted it will re

the settlers demands some measure ,,
of relief, as most of them acted la goo l
faith and have been wrongfully ,denld

He will Book some way out of thet dlf- ,
ficnlty.

directed that "all public lands in "this
Slletx reservation conveyed to the Unl ,

be temporarily withdiawn from rHU

Considerable ork will be necessary
