& e \ ¥ 4 J \ ; Mayor Cotterill, Judge Moore and Port Commissioner’ Bridges, who, at the suggestion of The Star, are investigating campaign slush ‘funds, will probably complete their work tomorrow. As The Star promised when it challenged Cotterill to act with these two men, it will print their report in full Monday. We only trust that their report will be straightforward and to the point. We hope it will answer the big questions; that it will tell the people plainly which of the mayoralty candidates is the choice of the big special interests.

Have the special interests and the brewery interests, which always before supported \ Hi Gill, switched to Trenholme in this campaign? The Star knows that these predatory interests are supporting Trenholme. The Star knows that they contributed to the Trenholme slush fund in a desperate effort to buy the mayoralty. e But George Cotterill and a few other men, who have always before fought with The Star against these interests when they tried to run the people's affairs, don't think these predatory interests are belind Trenholme. Therefore, The Star made a proposition to Mayor Cotterill that he act on a committee of three, composed of himself, Judge Moore and Robert Bridges, to investigate, to get the facts—to find out definitely whether or not the predatory interests are supporting Tren- holme; to find out definitely whether or not Furth, Ankeny, Goldsmith, Hemrich and Grambs are supporting Trenholme; to find out definitely whether or not any of these men or their interests contributed to the Trenholme slush ‘und. Stated concisely and emphatically, the proposition put up to the investigating com- mittee by The Star resolves itself into three big questions as follows: FORMER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, { OUT OF PRISON ON PAROLE, ARRESTED ON GIRL’S STORY Archie Hess, @rmer principal or oe Sunnydale school, on parole from MeNei!'s island federal prison after serving five months of a one- } year sentence for white slavesy,| tional trial about a year ago. was arrested today by Deputy Sher.)
