Incensed by the killing of policemen and others in a few hours after he had ordered the Pclice Captains to clean up the city, holding them per- scnally responsible for hood- lum terrorism, the Mayor said: POLICEMEN SHOT DOWN “It's the police themselves who started the shootings. I teld the Capcains there was nct one speakeasy in the city that their men did mot know about and they have had their policemen killed to prove what I said was true.” The police smarting under the Mayor's lashing have start- ed a series of raids and in the first drag net landed 13 per- sons in jail, two listed as pub- lic enemies. SOUND TROLLERS BENEFITED BY GOURT'S RULING Seattle Attor‘ne_y Says 500 Puget Sound Trollers Wlll Be Affected SPATTLE, Dec. 14—The decis-! 1on of the Circuit Court of Appeals, holding unconstitutional Alaska’s | $250 license tax on mon-resident troll fishermen, handed down this week, is described here as affect- ing 500 Puget Sound trollers. John Lund, local attorney, whose father ‘represented Wood Freeman, plaintiff in the case, said most of these men had been prevented fsom fishing in Alaska waters by the prohibitive tax. He said the decision means that 5000 resident Alaska fishermen, who have had little competition since the law was enacted three years ago, now face more compe- tition from Puget Sound trollers. The suit, brought by Freeman, was backed by the Trolling Ves- sel Owners’ Association of Wash- ington.

For that witty, wise-cracking New Englander, defeated last No- vember in his attempt to return to the Senate could be expected to let loose in lively fashion. He was a newspaperman before | he became a Senator and knows ali the tricks of the game. For many years Moses has been a recognized wit and satirist in the Senate. He has in turn de- lighted, infuriated and cowed those on capitol hill with his sharp tongue and repartee. What he could do in a job where these things count for much, any- one familiar with politics at all can guess. brisk rally developed on the Stock Exchange late this afternoon after a little early hesitancy which was New York's response to the French action on war debts. The upturn carried several issues one to three points upwards and the closing tone was firm. The day’s trading involved the overturn of 1,000,000 shares. French and British exchanges were SOggY. The entire list eased fraction- ally during the early hours while| moderate selling appeared. Belgian‘ and French bond losses were re- corded at the outset but they were recovered by mid-day.

Shares advancing two to three points included: American Tele- phone and Telegraph, Case, Allied Chemical, Union Pacific, and final prices were close to the best of the day's session.

His defeat at the hands of the baseball, sports-loving Fred H. Brown, a Democrat—although it {was by the comparatively slim margin of 2,117 votees—left the Senator smarting. He is not the kind of man who takes defeat easily. He had his heart .set on another term in the Senate and worked hard to real- ize that ambition. That he doesn’t feel altogether resigned and philosophical about it, perhaps, is .evidenced by his intimation that he was a victim of concerted treachery.” (Comlnuea cn Page Eight) E.
