SEATTLE, May 21— Captain Will
iam bearing, lor the past twenty
years a member ol* iho Seattle Police
Department, has been appointed Chief
oi Ponce by Mayor ilugh Caldwell.
The appointment ol Capt. bearing as
Chief came as the culmination of three
weeks ol strained relations between
Mayor Caldwell and former Chief of
Police .joel Warren, the well known
Ataskan. Warren .-u>s the big fight
has only just begun.
The strained relations referred to
above are unuoubteeny over gambling
in Seattle. Several weeks ago Mayor
Caldwell made a trip at night and the
next morning leported that gambling
was on in bcattie and tile ponce must
stop it or there would be on eruption.
Shortly after the Mayor's trip, an
Olive street gambling joint was raid
ed and the .Uayoi tiled charges again
st Frank Hail, former Nome gambler
and miner and Ed. O’Shea, whom
Caldwell claimed were the proprietors.
Later Mayor Ca1 dwell claimed that
Hail, Jimmy Osborn, O’Shea and Sol
Warren were all interested in the
gambling joint. Sol Warren is a bro
ther of Joel Warren.
Many gamblers arrested at various
times recently in Seattle, made the
charge that they had paid for proto*
tion and Mayor Caldwell said that
“anyone in Seattle paying protection
money during his two year’s term of
office is a sucker.”
Former chief of Police Joel Warren
is a well known Alaskan and for years
was at Nome.
