Through the efforts of Sen. Landon and Sen. Nichols of King county, six members who had been counted upon to support the bill announced they would vote inst it. Sen. Howard Taylor saw the fight would be use- He submitted with as good grace as possible. “The bill, as it is now drawn,” he said, plain.

GERMAN ARMORED CRUISER NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 10.—The German converted armored cruiser, Prinz Eltel Friederich, with 362 Russian and French prisoners of war and with Capt. H. H. Kiehne, of the Seattle grain ship, William P. Frye, Mrs. Kiehne and members of the grain ship's crew aboard, put in here today for repairs. She will not intern, This announcement was made by Capt. Thie- ichens, in command of the vessel. “We will repair and return to sea,” he said captured thus far, though we have been all Atlantic, and we will take more chances. Officers of the Eitel said the William P. Frye was sunk in the South Atlantic on January 27 because she was carrying contraband, | Capt. Kiehn, master of the ship, his wife and 25 members of the crew | were saved The Frye sailed from Seattle November 6, 1914, under charter of H. Houser, a Pacific coast grain exporter, for Queenstown, Ireland. Collector of the Port Hamilton reported the case to Washington. The German consul here declares the ship put into port to land crews of enemy's ships destroyed at sea, The fact that she has pris- oners of war on board presents a new problem regarding how long she will be aliewed to remain. . The Eitel was formerly a liner in the service of the North German Lloyd Co. Seven months ago she left Tsing Tau and it has always been a mystery how she managed to elude the British, Japanese and French warships which were searching for her in the Pacific. It has never been explained, either, how she escaped after the battle off the Faik- ands a few months ago. If the vessel desires to make repairs, officials sald today, the customs collector may extend the length of her stay here. The landing on American soil of foreign prisoners of war is not expected to cause any difficulty. “We have not been in parts of the South M. Stay on the Job, Bob Bob Bridges, member of the Seattle port commission, now declares he will resign and leave office the moment the new law, adding the mayor and three county officials to the commission, goes into effect. Bridges chooses to regard the action of the legisiature and the governor as a reflection upon the ability of himself and his associates. You're wrong, Bob. NO MATTER WHAT A ROTTEN LEGISLATURE AND MIS- GUIDED GOVERNOR HAVE SAID OR DONE, THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT HOW A VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF SEATTLE FEEL. THEY'RE FOR YOU, BOB, AND FOR THE PORT COMMIS- SION AS AT PRESENT CONSTITUTED, AND FOR ITS WORK, That much has been proved during the last week or two. It Is no time to talk of resigning. Seattle needs you now more than ever, Bob, The four men who will be the new members of the commission know little of the work in which you, Gen. Chittenden and Judge Remsberg have become proficient through experience and con- stant duty. And their chief concern will be with the duties which they were elected to perform. They will be passive members of tne port commission, at best. THE TASK IS STILL UP TO YOU What you Wave done thus far—and what your two fellow members have done—has been done through a feeling of civic pride, of loyalty to the community. You have done well. You have built up a splendid vork in Seattle’s port projects AND THE PEOPLE OF SEATTLE | APPRECIATE IT, BOB. * THE STAR HOPES YOU WILL STAY QN THE JOB, is not / | Forty lawyers couldn’t tell what it means. ii ‘i 4
