Busy Cleaning House
! SEATTLE, July 1—Mrs. Henry
j Landes, Seattle’s temporary Mayoress
j durin gthe absence of Dr. Brown, who
| is attending the Democratic National
j Convention in New York, defended her
i dismissal of Police Chief W Severyns,
| saying she had not time to make any
1 other appointment to take his place
! and that a special emergency exist
j ed justifying her course.
A dispatch from Dr. Brown was pub
| lished saying “Severyns is all right,
1 and he will be put back just as soon
as I can get home.” Inspector Joe
Mason, who automatically became the
new chief of police, on the retirement
of Severyns, has been quoted as say
ing that the Department was conduct
ed as it should be, under Severyns and
he saw no changes to be made when
taking charge.
Mrs. Landes names Captain Claude
G. Bannick, former chief, as her aide
with the title of acting chief.
Making Cleanup

been ordered to clean up the city yes
terday by Mrs .Landes .acting Mayor
ess, seven clean-up raids were stag
ed in which seven prisoners were tak
en, constituting the tally after her
first clean-up.
; Three captives were accused of liq
uor offenses, three of gambling and
one held for investigation after his
liquor store was seized.
Immediately after Mrs. Landes took
office a general exodus of gamblers,
bootleggers and other misperformers
began, according to statements.
Bannick named a special dry squad
to survey law enforcement and all
will report to him. He said the ad
ditional forces which Severyns had
requested and which wTere refused by
the city council, were to small. He
declared thirty additional patrolmen
were needed to cope with disorders,
| and four more automobiles were need
1 ed to prevent holdups and convey the
' larger shipments of money.
Brown telegraphed his secretary
! Dalby to have a new commission
i drawn up to place Severyns back as
! chief and ready for him to sign as
soon as he gets off the train from
New York city.
At the city hall here it was recalled
in 1910 when Max Arball, then Pres
ident of the council, acting as mayor
in the place of Hi Gill, similar to
Mrs. Landes’ present position, remov
j ed Chief of Police Wappenstein when
Gill was on a Yachting trip on the

Unknown Arctic Region
Inspires Strange Tale
The unknown Arctic region between
Colville and Porcupine rivers where
Dr. Smith has led a party of the U. S.
Geological Survey on a perilous mis
sion of exploration is the locale of
strange tales spread among fur trad
ers and gold hunters by the native
Eskimos and Indians.
The territory which Smith has gone
to investigate and chart appears on
the maps largely as a blank space.
Certain rivers like the Colville, never
have been traced to their headwaters,
and what in the way of topography
and resources lies within an area of
35,000 square miles, has been a mat
ter of conjecture.
Reports have trickled out of the
Polar Basin, that great lakes of oil
were to be found in this region. But
the Eskimos and natives tell stranger
stories. They say the land is haunt
ed by weird beasts, some of such im
mense stature that they leave tracks
as large as dinner plates. It is said
that no Indian can be persuaded tc
penetrate the region, even though he
be tempted by the promise of abun
dant fur. The lore has it that there
are great areas of hot springs, where
the snow never falls, and the streams
never freeze.
Some of the more credulous of the
white men, linking the tales with theii
scientific reading, contend that there
still may lurk in the far north rem
nants of the mastadon herds that have
left their bones and ivory in almost
every stream bordering the lower Yu
Von river.
