HAMILTON AND THE YELLOW DOG
"HE unexpected homecoming Of
Andrew Hamilton, confidential
legislative agent for insurance

AAA
Andrew Hamilton, confidential
legislative agent for insurance
companies, has rekindled pub
lie interest In the subject OF the so
called "yellow dog" funds about which
there was so much mystery during the
progress of the late investigation into
life insurance matters. Much money
was given into Mr.. Hamilton's keeping
by the New York Life, the Equitable.
the Mutual and other companies. The
Fowler committee. composed OF
ices Of the New York Life, appointed
to inquire nto the affairs Of the COM
pany, brought in a report In February
which held Mr.. Hamilton responsible
for S795, 964 Of the funds of the society.
OF this amount the company's bureau
of legislation and taxation at Albany
under Mr.. Hamilton's direction receiv-
ed $705,577.54, according to statements.
Messrs. Hamilton and Mccall were
held Jointly responsible for $219,5OO.
The Fowler committee found that a
certain sum of $235,000 paid on the
'home office account" was given to
Mr.. Hamilton on the order Of President
Mccall, and for this reason the latter
refunded the money, sacrificing his
splendid home at Long Branch In or
der to do so.
Beginning with a bill for legal sery.
ices In 1892 for $4,0S1, Hamilton's
work for the New York Life seemed
to increase rapidly In value, for the
payments to him thereafter grew enor.
mously, until the sum for the thirteen
years up to 1905 went above $1,300,000
How much of this money was for per
sonal services, how much was used for
payment Of taxes and how much for
other purposes the Armstrong commit
tee and the Fowler committee botl
tried to ascertain, but without success
At the suggestion Of the Armstrong
committee John G. Mccall. son Of the
late president of the New York Life
went to Europe with the view Of per
suading Mr.. Hamilton to return to this
country and appear before the com
mittee. His mission was fruitless In
this respect, as he reported that Mr.
Hamilton was taking treatment at Q
sa~nitarium and was too Ill to return a
that time. Instead Of returning to ap
pear before the committee Mr.. Hamil
ton sent a statement as to his expendi
lures. which did not explain them
however, to the satisfaction of the in
vestigators. In the meantime John A
Mccall died. The New York Life has

VAN DUzER HEARD FROM
Congressman Will Begin Suits for
Libel Against the Traducers
of His Character.

A Carson City dispatch Of March 20
says Congressman Van Duzsr is In that
city arranging to bring q number Of
suits against those who have been max
ing charges against him during his alb
sence in the East and since his return
to Nevada. He names prominent at
torneys in three States in the East re-
tanned to defend him. and in addition
will have the services of three Nevada
and one California attorney. IL GER
tainly looks as il Van Duzer is laying
in q plentiful supply Of legal war paint
"to cover and expose" what he says is
a "bunco game Of a clique who are at
tempting to besmirch my name in order
to detract attention from their own
thieving game and notorious bunco
operations" In an interview he says:
Victim of a Conspiracy.
81 have been gathering evidence and
data in the East and am now getting
the necessary data in Nevada and when
/ strike 1 state with full knowledge of
the situation that / will send one promi-
nent man to the p~enitentiary for a long
term and his arrest and conviction will
be a complete vindication of me. Be-
sides this, / shall bring one suit in the
West for $50, 1000 damages, and a num-
Der of suits in the East. and after l
have succeeded in the conviction of the
mar / am after / intend to follow up
his fellow-conspirators aud land them
in the ~penitentiary.
81 am the victim of one of the dirt
lest and most ~villianous conspiracies
ever Matched up against a man in the
West. When the details of the story
are made public it will involve per.
jury, grand larceny. embezzlement,
false swearing. s~ubornation Of perjury
and a plot the exposure of which will
cause a sensation in this State.
II have conducted my mining opera
tions in a conservative, careful, clean, |
manner. Every man in public life in
Nevada is more or less engaged in
mining. This industry is the life of
our commercial activity"
Says Charges Are Biackmal.
Van Duzer in a signed statement in
the Reno Journal on March 30, says
that the charges against him were
made for the purpose of extortion and
that designing political enemies have
given the accusations against him great
publicity.
He says they preyed upon the fears
of Mrs, Lucie Fairfax and told her he
had mo property and was running a
fake mine. Naturally the lady was
excited, but not too excited to demand
of me $3.50 for a 800 investment with
the intimation that if / did not pay ad-
ditional tribute of $3.50 she would sue
me and ruin me by publicity. l am
not in the habit of submitting to gr.ft or
b.ackmail or extortion, hence her suit,
the merits of which will be duly settled
in court by my attorneys"

MINING LOCATION NOTICES
Short and Long Printed Forms
Used by Prospectors Ex-
planned - State Law.

For the enlightenment OF many oil
the prospectors who have been using
the printed Notices of Location and the
Certificates of Location issued by he
SENTINEL office, some information from
the State laws on the matter might not
be amiss.
The purpose of a location notice.
that is the SHORT FORM, is to enable a
prospector to easily locate a claim.
The location certificate. that is the
LONG FORM, is used when recording a
claim aud it must show the location
monuments aud work done, otherwise
the record is void.
1t should be understood that a loca-
ton notice is not a certificate OF loca-
ton. A location notice is useless for
record, but it will legally hold Claim
until the ninety days re luired by law
for recording have expired. The Ne
vada State law is as follows:
Lode Claims, How Located.
Section 1. Any person. a citizen OF
the United States, or n who has de-
clared his intention to become such,

OIL ROADS FOR AUTOS.
Concrete Rendered Proof Against Ac-
ton of Machines.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Charles A. Hawkins,
who recently won the endurance test
from Los Angeles to San Diego from a
field of thirty starters, driving a White
steamer, arrived at the local autOmo-
bile show late yesterday afternoon.
THAT endurance run proved con-
clusively, beyond any fear of doubt,
that the way has finally been discovered
to preserve the fine macadam roads,
which, it is charged, automobiles, espec-
tally the heavy ones running at a fast
clip, tear up and destroy.
"Oil them That is my advice, and
it is founded on the fact that we had
absolutely no trouble with this kind of
roads in the endurance run in Cali
fornia, and it was that class Of road
we traversed on much of the distance.
Il understand that on the Midway
here in Chicago there was some trouble
over the way the machines tore up the
pavement, but some sort of oil prepare
ton has been put on, I am told, and
there has been little damage since. The
oil turns the concrete into 9, pavement
almost the equal of asphalt, and is an
absolute preventive Of dust. We oil all
courses before racing, for it not only
saves the track but the machines as
well, and prevents skidding."

There is a great deal of misappre-
henslOn here and in the east about
Herrera. Some talk of him as the
Mexican. AS matter of fact he is as
good an American as any of US. His
father was a Mexican, but his mother
IS an American, and AureIiO and his
brothers were born in Bakersfield, Cal.

TALKS LIKE AN "OUTLAW.'
Bob UngIaub Dissatisfied With Nation
Bah Clubs.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 9.-The chances
are that Bob Unglaub, the former third
baseman of the Milwaukee club, who
was sold to New York and later to the
Boston American league club, will quit
playing under national agreement clubs
and become an outlaw. Bob hBs been
unable to come to an agreement with
the Boston club regarding salary and
therefore wants to get away entirely.
Speaking of the matter Unglaub says:
II want 10 play professional ball under
national agreement clubs If treated
right, but they DO not want to treat
man right, so am ready to become an
outlaw.
IF they want a man to play for a
minor league salary why dent they let
him go to a minor league. There is no
use being in the big leagues if you are
compelled to work for the money that
you could get in a minor league for one
months less work. It is an injustice to
a ballplayer and for one have the
courage to quit them even if they do
threaten with their blacklist and their
bulldczing tactics"

FRUIT GROWERS CLAIMS.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Turn
Down Damages for 100000.

Chicago, Feb. Sit is said that claims
aggregating more than 100000 have
been fled with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa FTe and the Southern Pac-fic roads
by fruit growers of California for loss
and damage to fruit shipped during the
past two years. Unable to induce the
railroads to pay many of these claims,
the shippers are said to have presented
a large portion of them TO the Armour
car lines, hoping thus to secure rebates
which they were unable to get from the
railroads. 1T Is understood that the
Armour car lines investigated the claims
carefully and offered TO pay a certain
number of them, amounting to about
10 per cent Of the aggregate. This
proved unsatisfactory to the fruit grow
ers, who are now seeking other chan
nels for shipment. Thus far the Santa
Fe and the Southern Pacific lines have
stood together in the matter and declin-
ed to pay the claims.

one Of the largest in the history Of the
game in this city.
Betting on the fight hovers around
even, but it is almost certain that the
Mexican will go into the ring favorite,
although the odds will be short. The
local sports figure that Herrera is one
Of the hardest men in the ring to beat,
and that his terrible knockout punch,
which he so cleverly landed on Young
Corbett, entities him to the honor of
favoritism.
Both men are in almost perfect

Herman has always been under. Her

ness for-of all things on earth for a

He is not a drunkard. Far from it.
No one ever sees him under the influ-
ence of alcohol. But he loves to take
a few nips of cognac after meals, along
with the longest, thickest, blacklist
cigars he can buy. This practice he
keeps up. whether in training or not.
So that one wonders how he is ever

BAKER BASEBALL TEAM FAST,
Defeated the Kansas City ''BIue Dia-

Kansas City, Feb. 9.-The Kansas
City Athletic clubs basketball team
was defeated in a close game by the
Baker university five of Baldwin, Kan,
last night on the club court, by a score
of 81 to 28. The game was the closest
and most exciting played on the Ath-
letic club courts this season. 1t resem-
bled football more than it did basket
ball. however, and there were numerous
fouls called. Both teams mff1e the
same number of goals but the Metho-
dists made three more free throws than
the Blue Diamonds.
A large delegation of Baker students
accompanied the team to Kansas City
and they made more noise than has
ever been heard at a basketball game
in Kansas City. The Baker team start
ed the game by making a total of eight
points before the Athletics could score.
When the Blue Diamonds hit their
stride, however, they soon caught up
and passed the Baker five but it was
only for a. few minutes as Baker again

Los Angeles, Feb. 9.-One Of the best
boxing contests of the year is sched-
uled for tonight, when the Mexican.
AureliO Herrera, will clash with kid
Herman of Chicago. Herrera comes
mighty close to the championship class
in the lightweight division. He went
twenty rounds with the champion, Bat
ting Nelson. not 50 very long ago, and
Nelson was fully extended to win from
the Mexican. Herman, who is a clever
young Chicago boxer, viii meet the
best man Of his ring career in Her
rera.
True, Herman won from Charlie
Neary in ten rounds, while Neary drew
with Herrera at the same route; but,
on the other hand, the Mexican's rec
ord shows that while he was finishing
clever boys like Benny Yanger, KID
Abel Eddie Santry, "Kid' Broad and
Jack DOWuey, Herman was losing to
Tommy Sullivan and Abe Attel. It
also took Herman twenty rounds to win
from kid Abel. who was knocked
out by Herrera in three rounds.
Herrera has an excellent defense
and a right-hand punch that goes to its
mark like a Mauser bullet He lacks
only one thing in perfection, and that
is the stamina, the recuperating power
that would enable him to recover
quickly and be strong after a heavy
hammering by a man of the Terry Nc
Govern type. And he has thrown
