The city council ordered the mu- nicipal ownership plan voted upon August 10, despite efforts by Doh- erty to prevent this action. In the meantime Federal Judge! HG % ess men had left the valuntion of the company unfilled in their par- tially complete ordinance. Experts said the valuation was $7,100,000; Doherty, $9,000,000. The judge com- pleted the ordinance by making it $8,000,000.

These bids, authorization of which received in Seattle Tuesday, mark the firet active step of the post office department in instituting the service since the movement was in- augurated, last summer, Since that time the department has been awaiting the decision of the Canadian authorities in regard to co- operating with local officials, The Ca&adian government recently de clined to assint’ financially, but of: fered the use of their harbor at Vic toria as a landing place . MoeGrath at once wired Washing- ton for authority to go ahead, and the authorization of the bids was his reply, According to the terms outlined, the service is to begin October 15, with not more than 10 round trips a month, The distance tx £4 miles each way. Not to exceed 600 pounds of mail will be carried.at a trip, and a fireproof compartment must be pro- vided for it in the plane, Planes are to land at the foot of Roanoke st., on Lake Union Bids for this service must reach | the postoffice department at Wash. ington by September 24, This means that they must be mailed at Seattle not later than September 19, Oriental mail carried by these planes will make close connections with liners at Victoria, and it is ex: pected that delivery of Seattle mail from China and Japan will be ad vanced a whole business da ‘ FRAUD TRIALS ARE STARTED * Grays Harbor Co. First Up for Conspiracy With Federal Judge Jeremiah Ne terer on the bench, selection of the jury in the Grays Harbor Motorship company conspiracy and fraud case was begun in the United States dis- trict court Wednesday morning. Five shipbuilders and two former officers of the United States ship- $3) ping board emergency fleet corpora- tion are the defendants in this ac- tion, which is the first of the five shipyard cases that are scheduled for trial this month. ‘The defendants are Albert Schu- bach, president of the Grays Harbor Motorship corporation; Bruce C.

Magee, former representative in this district for the shipping board on wood hull construction, and A. B Hunt, chief machinery tnspector for the board in this district. Tho specific charge against these ording to the grand jury in- dictment _returned last spring, is conspiracy to defraud the govern: ment. By presenting false claims, it is alleged, they collected 35 days’ bonus for early delivery of hull No, 1060, instead of but 10 days to which were entitled, At the rate of $300 a day, which was the bonus allowed, this amounted to $10,500, Bert Schlessinger, of San Fran cisco, and Ben L, Moore, of Seattle, special representatives of the attor- ney general, are conducting the prosecution for the government, with the assistance of United States Dis- trict Attorney Saunders, The defense is represented by Messrs. Bogle, Donworth, Todd, Faulk and Hogue, Judge Kenneth Mackintosh, of the state supreme court, was a visitor during the morning session and oc- cupied the bench with Judge Neterer during the selection of the jury.
