WASHINGTON. Oct. 2—-Postmas- jeneral Burleson today an- [nounced the awarding of a contract |to Edward Hubbard of Seattle, to mail loperate a seaplane route be- transpacific mafl boats, reducing by one day mail delivery at Seattle. Service will begin October 15. Ever since the visit here last sum [mer of Otto Praeger, second assist- jant postmaster general, local of- ficials have been working to secure |the establishment of the Seattle | Victoria air mail, Financial co- operation of the Canadian postoffice department was refused by the au- | thorities at Ottawa Washington then decided to finance the service, and the Canadians readily offered the use of the harbor at Victoria as a landing place and transfer point. While the terms of the successful bid have not been made public, the contract calls for an average of six round trips a month. The mail plane will carry mail from Seattle to’ meet each Oriental liner at Vic toria, and will bring a load of in- |eoming first class mail on its re turn. Delivery of important business mail from the Orient will be ad vanced one whole business day in Seattle, This will mean a tremen- |dous saving to banks and other financial institutions on negotiable instruments, Both the postoffice here and the contracting flyer are ready to in- augurate the service, and it ix expected that the first flight will be made on the opening day, Oc- tober 15, as the liner Tahiti is due to sail from Victoria for Australia and New Zealand on that date. Approximately 700 pounds of mail will be carried on one trip. Landing will be made on Lake Union, at the foot of Roanoke st. and the mail rushed to the postoffice by truck.

Hendry died in Seattle General hospital at 1215 a. m,. Saturday. Walrod shot him at 20th ave. and E. Galer st., then surrendered calmly to J. L. Norie and his son, of 1239 20th ave. N., the first persons to reach the scene of the shooting. WAITRESS IS WOMAN IN TRAGEDY Mrs. Mae Walrod, waitress, who has been living at 1227 20th ave, N., is the woman in the tragedy. Walrod claimed Saturday that Hendry had been attentive to Mrs. Walrod since the Walrods were di- vorced, and in that way prevented a reconciliation. Hendry died in the hospital before police could get a statement of his side in the alleged triangle. Walrod met his former wife on the street Friday night as he and their 10-year-old daughter, Mae, came out of » movie. He escorted Mrs. Wal- rod and the girl home. To MU After saying good-night, and with hope that he might effect a reunion, Walrod, walking down the street, says he saw a man, whom he took to be Hendry, passing by the house.

Hesketh. Hesketh declared that in event the milk commission appointed by Mayor Caldwell proves unable to settle the differences between the dairyman and the retailers, he will also present legislation to the city council looking to the establishment of a municipal milk depot. “The people are growing sick of the eternal increase in necessary foodstuffs,” Hesketh asserted, “Prof- iteers in milk and bread belong in jail. With a falling market all over the world, there is no reason why the Seattle public should be forced to pay more and more for the nec: essities of life.” ‘alter I. Meier, corporation coun- sel, will be asked shortly to prepare necessary ordinances for the pro- posed legislation, according to Hes- keth. Hesketh scored Mayor for suggesting a further in street car fares. Caldwed increase “The people will not stand for another raise in carfares,” he as- serted, The next step in the railway tan- gle will be the “zone system,” Hes- keth predicted.

Names of the two representatives on the commission to be named by the producers and the distributors were scheduled to be made public Saturday afternoon. Both sides to the controversy have expressed their willingness to abide by the findings of the commission. A price-fixing method, effective for one year, will be drafted by the arbi- tration board Members of the commission so far appointed are Joseph Passenneau, head of the bureau of farm markets of tho state agricultural college at Pullman; A.

The accident occurred at Lake City, one-third of the way to Bothell. As a result Schull was badly but not seriously bruised. Sheriff String- er is considering evidence which may lead to his being charged with con- ducting a systematic business of transporting liquor into Seattle by auto, A girl giving the name of Miss Leitch, which police think false, and an address of 4123 Minor ave., which they know is false, is somewhere in the city, nursing bruises. The other two men and two wo- men of the wild party ran away without waiting to find out whether Schull and “Miss Leitch” were or, seriously hurt. Witnesses say they ran behind a store, where they hid until a Seat- tle-bound stage came along. They hailed the stage and got aboard. Since then they have not been heard from. That all six were not instantly killed is considered miraculous, Both Schull and Miss “Leitch” were treated at the city hospital and re leased, Gerald Canfield, living at Lake City, heard the crash and the cries for help. He dressed hurriedly and rushed out, to find the car upside down and its occupants crawling from the wreckage. R. L. Prentice, of Maltby, an en- gineer, came along in a car as Can. field was helping Schull from the smashed machine, and he and Can- field brought Schull to the city hom pital, GIRL BROUGHT IN ON MOTORCYCLE A motoreycle driver brought in “Miss Leitch,” who kept asking him not to drive too fast. It is not known what became of her. Police who tried to find the address she gave say there is none such Witnesses say the other two men and two women sheaked behind George D. Cundy's store at Lake City, where they hid until a Seattle- bound stage appeared. Cundy told police he saw them hiding from view until an Everett. Seattle bus appeared; when they dashed back to the highway and hailed it. They had not reported to police late today, nor have they made an effort to learn of Schull’s condition. Schull was cut and bruised about the head and shouldera,
