MRS. FLoRENCE MOORE

By United Press Leased Wire.
CORTLAND, Ore, May 10.-In
fear of being arrested at each stop
the train makes, Mrs. Hazel
Moore, for love of. whom former
Adjutant General Ortis Hamilton
of the Washington state National
Guard. Is accused of embezzling
approximately $4,000 of military
fluids, is today riding southwark
to Oakland, Cal.
accompanied by her beautiful
eisht-year-old daughter, she oc-
cupies a private drawing room on
thu Southern Pacific train which
left Portland at 7:45 o'clock last
night.
IN "a brief interview granted
while she was aboard the train,
Mrs. Moore emphatically denied
She was responsible for Hamilton s
ddwnfall.
s,She attributed all his trouble to
a woman she called Nora Hamil-
ton. During the conversation she
ffequently used slang, and threat
ened to slap the face of the re-
porter with whom she was talk
ing II he dared to print anything
that was not to her liking. S
''The story that Mr.. Hamil-
J ton provided me with funds
Is absurd" she declared.
s'Nora Hamilton is the woman
I'm the case. Take my word
for it. She carried a de-
posit In a Portland bank.
That money was given to her
qhy Mr.. Hamilton"
occasionally she would end a
sentence abruptly to inquire IL a
certain man on the train was a
detective. She expressed the fear
that she would be arrested before
she reached Oakland.
*The stories that I take a drink
now and them" she resumed, "are
true. But 1t is not true that
eyer took a drink while 1 was in
Mr.. Hamilton's presence. 1t is
also true that he took me to din
mgr at times as any man might DO,
but he meyer squandered any
money on me. Really, / never
did see him take a drink of in
taxicants."

Crisis in Porto
Rico Calls Forth
Special Message
Without Funds to Run Her Government, Island
Dependency Cries Out to U. S. for Help.--Taft
Urges Congress to Take Action--. Country Not

WASHINGTON, May
1O.-In a vigorous mes
sage sent to congress to-

presses the opinion that
the United States has
gone too far in the exten-

He censures unsparingly the

of the island in refusing to pass
the appropriation bills for the
looming fiscal year and suggests
the desirability of taking from
this lower body of the Porto Rican
ASSEMBLY the power thus to ham
|per the government of the islan1.
The message in part says:
An Emergency.
can emergency has arisen in

sary for me to invite the atten-

of that island and to recommend
Legislation at the present extra
session, amending the act under
which the island is governed.
The regular session of the legisla-
tive assembly of Porto Rico ad-
journed March IL last without
passing the usual appropriation
bills. A special session of the as
sembly was at once convened by
the governor, but after three days,
on March 16, it again adjourned
without making the appropria
ttions.
No Money for Support.
"This leaves the island govern
ment without provision for its
support after June 80 next. The
situation presented is, therefore,
of unusual gravity. The present
government of Porto Rico was es-
tablished by what Is known as the

flakes Closing Argu-
ment-Urges Un-
written Law
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
FLUSHING, L. l., May 10
Unwritten law was the basis OF At
torney McIntyre's argument for
the defense today in the trial OF
Captain Peter C. Hams, slayer Of
William e. Annis, although he
threw over the thin legal veil OF
an insanity plea. Mr.. Mc1ntyre
made an impassioned plea and 1t
had a noticeable effect upon the
jury.
Captain Hams mother sat be-
side him and as Mcintyre dwelt
upon the tragic incidents in the
defendants life she embraced her
son and sobbed piteously.
Mcintyre traced the movements
of the Hams boys on the day OF
the killing to show that the shoot
ing of Annis was not premeditat-
ed.
John Terhune wept and others
in the court room wiped their eyes
when the attorney was in the
midst of his eloquent appeal. Cit
ing some of the testimony intro
duced by the prosecution, McIn-
tyre declared:
deep down in their hearts the
alienists of the state, after listen
ing to our evidence, must have
known, although they would not
admit It, that this poor creature
of God is insane"

LUCKY
CITY ENGINEER DAVIS HOME
FROM EAST, WHERE HE IN
SPECTED PAVEMENTS - HE
FINDS THAT THIS CITY IS
GETTING VERY Low PRICE
ON ASPHALT PAVING.

City Engineer Davis came back
today after 80 days junket in
the East to investigate street paw
ing. He visited Chicago, ILL.,;
Detroit and Calumet, Mich. /;
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati,
Ohio; Pittsburg, Pa; Knoxville
Tenn; st. Louis, Denver and 9th
er cities.
"And there is not a city in the
country that presents the fine ap-
pearance Tacoma does. We use
more paint and lawn mowers in
Tacoma than any place l visited
said the engineer.
"And on street paving and i'm
provements we are up with any
of them. l picked up a lot OF
things of value to the city but
among the most valuable things
l learned were the things not to
do. On street work the only
thing that the people here can
complain about is that they are
getting asphalt paving too cheap
1 found no place where they are
getting such low prices as are
given here"
Mr.. Davis went east especially
to investigate patented pave
ment known as Blom's "Grana-

visited 1t had been in use for years
and he is Of the opinion that II

Dispatches received here today
from Liverpool, England, cleared
up the mystery that has surround
ed the disappearance five months
ago of Two-year-old Alfred Hart
man, son of George Hartman, a
cotton grower of Gillespie county.
In December, Hartman hauled a
load of cotton to be ginned at
Fredericksburg, near his home. His
little son accompanied him.
When he started the return trip
the lad was missing, and 1t was
thought he had fallen into a
creek.
The message from Liverpool
told of the finding of the body
of the boy in the center of a bale
of cotton when it was opened in a
wharf warehouse. 1t is thought
that the baby crept into the open
press at the gin in Fredericksburg,
and was bound up with the pro-
duct. &
