No one at the prosecuting attor- |ney's office knew the answer when |The Star first asked what would hap |pen if the commissioners should all | quit at once, or if they should be re called, but Deputy Prosecutor Arthur Schramm, Jr., looked the matter up. “1¢ the commissioners were all re- called—or if they resigned in a body |when the new commissioners will ltake office,” Schramm announced lafter he had completed his investiga | tion, “The law provides that, in the event of the recall or resignation of any county official, he shall be replaced by the board of county commissioners—and there is ab- solutely no other provision in the | law, | “The supreme court has held | that the county commissioners | themselves are county officials— so this law would naturally be applicable to them. | “Obviously, if there weren't | any county commissioners, there never could be any—until now ones took office in the natural | course of events, “It's an unheard-of situation—but, of course, the men who framed the law couldn't very well anticipate the present state of affairs.” they would probably do so one at a | tim! | You May Find It Here It really doesn’t make a | great deal of difference when you start to look for something, just where you start first.

So she wants to find some kind-hearted family who'll give Vivian and Gladys a home for a year or so, until she gets on her feet.

With » record attendance al- ready assured, the stage Is all set for the opening performance at the Stadium tonight of the 1922 production of The Way- farer, Seattle's passion pageant. ‘Tho pageant itself Is precisely the same as The Wayfarer of 1921—which brought Seattle inte International night ~ the Western . Wut its production wit be on a more lavish basis; the directors have profited from past mistakes; little crudities have been erased—and, in every way, it will be a bigger and better Wayfarer than ever before, So elaborate were the preparations made for this year’s production that it would actually have been possible for the entire pageant to have been produced Saturday night, two days ahead of schedule. ‘This, of course, means that a more polished performance will be possible than ever before. Darwin Meisnest, graduate man- ager of the Associated Students of the University of Washington, was highly optimistic this morning on the prospects for the pageant. “We have been able to hold expenses down below §70,000 this year,” he said, “and advance sales indicate that we'll take in enough to mane a tidy profit. “There's one thing that I want to emphasize about these profits. There seems to be a general im- pression abroad that private in- terests will benefit from The Wayfarer. There is no founda- tion whatever for this assump- tion. Every cent of profits will go to the student body of the university, to be used toward settling the Stadium’s remaining Indebtedness of $229,000." One of the biggest features of this year’s production—and one that was missing last year—will be the pres. ence and participation of Rev. James Crowther, author of The Way farer Dr. Crowther, who was brought back to Seattle by The Wayfarer management, will be introduced each | night by Prof. E. 8, Meany, the pro- locutor, and will tell the dramatic story of how the idea of the pageant was born to him out of the night. The Wayfarer will be produced every night this week, making six performances in all, It ts announced that under no circumstances will any further performances be given until next year, Grand Jury Probes Oregon’s Ku Klux MEDFORD, Ore., July 24.—The Jackson county grand jury, ordered by Gov, Ben W, Olcott to proceed at once with an investigation of out- rages allegedly perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan in Southern Oregon, is under process of organization in Jacksonville, the county seat, today, and will move to Medford tomorrow to begin its hearings. W. I.
