Mason, appointed acting chief Wednes- | day, was demoted to his former position of inspector. Bannick said he would obey orders “like a good soldier.” Mrs. Landes issued a proclamation declaring that ‘‘an emer- gency exists” in Seattle. A conference between Mrs. Landes and Deputy Prosecutor is E. D. Colvin was held. It was taken to mean that criminal action might be started. The underworld refused to take the change seriously. Its members sneeringly asserted “Bannick won’t have time” to { make a cleanup. i Mayor Brown is en route to Seattle from New York. For- mer Chief William B. Severyns will, it is almost certain, be reappointed on his arrival. This contingency has been arranged for, in Bannick’s case, so that he will not lose his civil service rating as captain. The atrangement. was taken as meaning that Mrs. Landes expects the mayor to undo her work on his return.
