TOO suddenly withd (EDITORIAL) HE PORT OF SEATTLE is to be congratulated on the successful sale of its $850,000 bond issue for acquir- ing the United States shippiing board site. An exception- ally good price has been received. King county people are certain to feel pride and satisfaction over the manner in which the harbor development program is progressing. % N the same breath, The Star feels a word of caution The intense, carefully-organized, financed opposition which the Port of Seattle en- countered when negotiating for the option on the prop- erty and when submitting the plan to the voters has been too ostentatiously withdrawn, oken. rawn, vicious. The Star hopes that the opposition is honest and sincere when it announces it has quit fighting the development But The Star knows that a big private corpora- tion covets the site and has been resolutely trying to ac- quire it. The Star knows there have been mysterious trips to Washington and quiet maneuverings since the election. For that reason we counsel the port commission to be on their guard EVERY INCH OF THE WAY. Carry out the ‘terms of thé’ option in spirit and in letter. enforceable contract; fulfill your part of it completely, and insist the Shipping Board fulfill its part, as no doubt it will. You have every authority on your side; you have the mandate of the people of this county, in which the land is situated, to acquire and develop the tract; you have the power of condemnation as a last resort. termined, and let the other fellow know you are de- termined, to carry out your program. * * * * Si tract is of the greatest potential value to Seattle. It is the keystone of our future commercial greatness if developed along the line that has been proposed. You have every legal and moral right to take it over for these public uses. Apparently you are going to get it peaceably and in the routine way. The Star hopes so. * It is a legally Be de- (TE | THOUSANDS DIE | IN EARTHQUAKE Report Persian Villages | Wrecked by Temblor | BOMBAY, 29,—Thousands reported to have perished in a heavy earthquake which shook the region about Turbatl Haidari, Persia, laccording to newspaper advices fr leelved here today from Allaha’ Numerous villages were wrecked by the quake, dispatehésy to the |newspaper Pioneer stated, see | ‘Turbati Haidari is in the Khoran- lean region of Eastern Persia, It lis located in a fertile valley |by salt deserts and mountain re- eos \Harding to Call | | Dry Conference) WASHINGTON, May 29.—A_ oon- | ference of state governors on the} question of prohibition enforcement) will be assembled here by President Harding before he leaves on his) | eetten trip, a White Houre spokes: man sald tod No date has been | wet. | ‘The conference will endeavor to | work out closer co-operation be. tween federal and state authorities in enforeing the dry laws. | acid |Japan May Resume | Trade With Russia TOKYO, May 29--Tho Japanese cabinet today dixcussed at length the [question of resuming Russian tego: Htations, Unofficial reports indleatot that there were increased possibill- |tten of resumption of the trade con {ference ax requested by Russia, but |thix is still speculative. |_ The press ‘unanimously favors re sumption of the conference.
