Johnson ar- rested Will Horntbrook, editor of a local democratic paper, on the charge of running a car without lights, Hor- nibrook was notified of the arrest 48 hours after the incident occurred, and only 12 hours after Johnson's de- feat by Will Thompson, democrats, should not attend the function. Mayor Caldwell pleaded a previous engagement. Members of the city council, the majority of whom are opponents of Jap penetration here, were not in. vited. The invitation, which was ad- dreaned to the various officials, read as follows: “In appreciation of the courteous treatment given by city officials to Japanene visitors to this city, I am asking thern to come to lunch with me at the Rainier club on Thursday noon, (Signed) M. Hirota, Consul for Japan.” Observers of the Japanese move- ment in this country have remarked on the use made of entertainments, luncheons and banquets to further Jap propaganda on the Pacific Coast. CALLS HIM A CROOK; SUED Thomas Chambers,’ Rainier ave. broker, sat in his office surrounded by friends and clients. Suddenly, without provocation and all unexpected, Charles John McKay burst upon the friendly scene and shouted, “You're a crook. How about that $10 you stole from a poor crazy woman last year?” Auditors went away dubious and Chambers thinks the opinion of the neighborhood has changed for the worse towards him, That is his version of the story as his lawyer told it Thursday in Judge Calvin 8.

Chambers and McKay are broth- ersin-law, having married sisters, Hotel Man’s Wife Is Held on Dope Charge Mrs, Katie Vietheer, wife of the proprietor of the Hamilton hotel in Georgetown, where a large quantity of narcotics was found by the police last week, was being accorded a hear- ing before U, 8.

Bail was posted after Henderson had made @ futile appeal to have it re duced to $6,000 on the ground that the prisoner and her family are prac: late Wednesday night on the North- ern Pacific from New York, in cus- Cunningham, grandmother kidnaped baby, who went East with Captain Strickland as a special deputy sheriff to aid in his fight for extradition of Mise Brainerd. SAYS THINGS HAVE BEEN Mi Stepping from the train, Miss Brainerd waid: “Things have been misrepresented I want my friends to keep an open mind, “My fight against extradition was made go I could return voluntarily. I didn’t want to come back under guard, “I have been in every jail in New York, except the Tombs, and was thrown in with the worst kind of criminals and narcotic addicts, but Mr. ‘Murray Welch, of the law firm of Jerome, Rand & Kresel, came out here with me to see that I was ac- corded fair treatment on the trip back. Mrs. Stagg, who became almost, insane with anxiety and worry dur- ing the weeks the baby was being taken across the continent by the alieged kidnapers, Was at the stw tion to meet her mother. When she and the woman whom she believes helped to snatch her baby from her came face to face on the station platform, they stif- fened noticeably and exchanged cold glances. Neither spoke. Miss Brainerd was taken directly to the Tacoma police station, where she was booked. Within 10 minutes after arriving at the station Wednesday night Miss Brainerd was free, for the first time in more than a week, to do as she pleased, following a week of close surveillance .by the grand- mother of the baby she is accused of kidnaping. Referring to the story published in The Star Wednesday, written by a New York newspaper woman friend of Miss Brainerd’s, saying she was mistreated while on the way here, Captain Strickland said to a Star man that she was given every con- sideration. He laughed at the report, and said there was nothing to it. “Miss Brainerd has treated the whole affair as a huge joke,” said Strickland. “She has been filppant all the way, and laughed and car- ried on continually.

President-Elect Harding's lead over Cox in this state will reach approxi- mately 135,000, and his lead over Cox and Christenson combined will be about 75,000. While King gave Christensen second place, the rest of the state pulled Cox up, and he is nosing the farmer-labor candi- date out for second honora. Seventeen hundred precincts tn the state give Harding 178,419, Cox 67,114, and Christensen, 59,295. Debs’ vote was negligible, the radical ele ment apparently having united on Christensen, There are 2,378 pre- cincts in the state. Governor Hart's lead over Robert Bridges, farmer-labor candidate, will approximate 85,000, and his lead over Bridges and Black, democrat, com- bined, will be easily 25,000. In 1,700 precincts, ting about three- fourths of the total vote, the count was: Hart, 152,702; Black, 49,532; Bridges, 85,108. Similar majorities were received by the senatorial and congressional and state candidates, King county re- publican candidates received majori- ties in equal proportion. The jitney bill was beaten, 41,167 to 25,826. The tabulated vote will be found on page 7, . Republicans ‘Cut * in on Texas Vote DALLAS, Texas, Nov, 4.—Unpre- cedented republican strength in large South Texas cities will cut down con- siderably the democratic plurality at first estimated in this state, it was apparent today. Republicans carried the city of El Paso for the first time in history, with Harding polling 26 votes more than Cox. John T. Cul- bertaon, republican gubernatorial candidate, carried the county, The 14th congressional district elected Judge Harry M. Wursbach, republican, @s# congresaman over Carlos Bee, democratic incumbent, it was conceded by Bee, North Texas and the great “over the state” vote, kept the democrats safely in control, but the majority will not be near the 300,000 first claimed, it was believed.

Har- reid, republican, in Oklahoma, and in Oregon Robert N. Stanfield, re- publican, was evidently elected over Senator George E. Chamberlain. Every state west of the Rockies was safely in the republican column today. Arizona and Nevada, the last two stragglers which had been counted as democratic by most observers be- fore election, turned in majorities for Harding and for republican state and congressional tickets during the night. The one exception in these two ites was in Arizona, where Carl Hayden, democrat, wag elected congressman. Nevada unseated Charles Hender- son, democrat, and put Tasker L. Oddie, republican, in his place in the senate. Arizona elected Ralph Cam- eroh, republican, over Senator Mare Smith, democrat, who had represent- ed the state in the senate ever since Arizona gained statehood. In California, with approximately 1,000 out of 6,177, precincts missing, Harding was approximately 300,000 ahead. Shortridge was leading Phe- lan, democrat, for the senate by about 50,000, The republican con- gressional ticket had been victorious everywhere in the state, excepting in the first and second districts, where Lea and Baker, democrats, re- spectively, were elected, Baker with- out opposition. . ee MARION, Ohio, Nov. 4.—-President- Elect Harding was making plans for the Southern vacation trip today. He expects to leave Marion early Sat- urday, arriving at Point Isabel, Tex. Monday morning. A flood of requests hag reached Harding asking him to make speeches en route.
