He said he was glad ‘of an opportunity “to say a few words” because of the assumption that army officers were unsuited for civil dutie: Assumption Not Sound “That this umption is not sound, that it el based on authen- tic historical periences, I am sat- ied,” he said, adding that the theory that “an able soldier or sailor is’ temperamentally unfitted to ren- unbiased and valu- torical examination “Speaking from personal ence and intimate observation, I do not hesitate to t that both in Cuba and the Philippines, officets af the United .

The governor's statement was made in response to reports that his name was being connected with the pro- posal to submit the $20,000 appropria- tion for the board of auditors to referendum vote. If the petition is filed and permit- ted to stand it will mean that the appropriation will be held up until the people can vote on the question at a general election, and the next general election is almost a year away. Funds to make the mill audits hele be turned over to the board by the state emergency commission, under Sorlie’s tentative plan. ‘The emergency commission has a fund of $40,000 to meet expenves for which the legislature failed to~ap- propriate. Squabble Between Accounts Commenting on the question, now being circulated to refer the approp- riation to a vote of the people, the executive said he has no interest in it and knows nothing about it. His view, he said, is that it represents ‘a squabble between accountants. Meanwhile the petitions are sai to still be in circulation. Opponents of the plan are contemplating a cam- paign to raise funds for the board of auditors popular subscription. They then would present a bill at the next legislative session to make refunds to contributors to that fund. Their contention is that the move to refer the apnropriation is designed ~~ DIVER FIGHTS G. | hy } Healey, cook on the ill fated tug. a | | | \ HUGE OCTOPUS UNDER WATER Forces Devil Fish to- Release Body of Man Clasped in Its Tentacles FOUR OTHERS MISSIN Crew. of Tug Lost in Sound) Tuesday When = Craft Dropped From Sight Port Townsend, Wash., May 28.-- (A hughe octopus, bearing in its tentacles the body of one of five men who went down on the tug War- fen carly Tuesday, gave up its uman prize after an hour's | 60 fect under water with A. a diver.
