SEATTLE, March 9. — The elec
tion of city officials, held in Seattle
Tuesday, attracted more than local
interest, partly because of the candi-'
dacy of Mayor Hiram C. Gill, known all j
over the United States because of hisj
recall and subsequent re-election. Op-I
posing Mayor Gill in his candidacy forj
re-election was Austin E. Griffiths, a
wealthy retired lawyer, born in Eng-j
land. Griffiths has served the city as !
councilman and as chief of police.
Mayor Gill’s participation in Seattle
politics began eighteen years ago,
when, at the age of thirty-two years,
he was elected to the city council.
Since then he has been councilman
or mayor most of the time. He was
elected mayor in 1910, and recalled
by the votes of the newly enfranchised
women in 1911 because of scandals in
the police department. He ran again
in 1912 and was defeated. In 1914 ho
was elected mayor by 17,000 majority.
Last month he was renominated by
a majority of 3,000 over all other can
didates. and he was re-elected Tues
day by 6,700 majority.

BRIBE ON TRE
SAN FRANCISCO, March 9. — A
gradual increase in the number of
Japanese "picture brides” entering t
the United States through the port of <
San Francisco, is shown in statistics t
complied by the bureau of vital sta- t
tistics of the state board of health, f
and made public today by George V). I
Leslie, director of the bureau. Inter- 1
cst in the situation was aroused by a f
statement recently made by Congress- i
man John L. Burnett, chairman of the '
House immigration committee, that <
Ihe "picture brides,” so called, seldom f
marry, and constitute a growing evil, t
H. Yamasaki, acting consul general at t
San Francisco, and other prominent, t
Japanese, presented another aspect of
the custom, which briefly defined, is <
the registration in Japan of a marriage
in which the bridegroom is in the
United States awaiting his bride. She
comes, armed with his photograph, j
ind they meet at the immigration sta- f
lion. Another marriage in the pres- c
ence of an immigration service inspec- i
tor is required before they go away. \

SHIP BUILDING
CHICAGO, March 9. — The ship
building industry on the Great Lakes,
after lying dormant more or less for
half a decade, is enjoying a revival of
prosperity, according to reports from
shipyards at and near Cleveland, Ohio;
Detroit, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; Du
luth, Michigan; Buffalo, New York;
Chicago, and smaller Great Lake
jorts.
The opening of the Panama canal,
the activities of submarines and the
nealthy increase in exports are con
sidered the immediate causes of the I
shipbuilding boom. The claim is made j
without denial from the builders, that
aid ships and vessels now under con
struction are bringing better prices
than in many years.
This boom which will bring millions |
jf dollars of business to the dozen or so
shipbuilding companies, has created
new work for hundreds of men and ,
already has caused the rebuilding of;
old yards and the planning for several
news ones.
The demand is strong for both lake
and ocean vessels, and only the In
ability of the builders to give assur
ance or delivery of the ships by 1917
stands in the way of even heavier
orders. Foreign interests are promi
nent among the buyers.
With the first clash of arms in Eu
rope, shippers saw the necessity for
obtaining boats quickly to carry mer
chandise to foreign and domestic
ports. One New York capitalist ob
tained at least rour huge Great Lake
package freighters. At the Welland
canal these ships had to be cut into
t wo sections berore tney coma con
tinue the trip to the coast.
The tremendous amount of shipping |
that has gone to the bottom in the war
zone, together with the fact that many
of the shipyards in England have |
been turned over almost exclusively
to ships of war. has forced foreign
buyers to look to American shipbuild
ers for new vessels, and some foreign
buyers ure ready to pick up any ship i
for sale on the seaboard.
