HAMILTON BOND VOID
National Surety Company Contends
That Ortis Hamilton Was Never
Adjutant General of State.

SEATTLE, May 16.-The Nation
al Surety company on the bond of
former Adjutant General Ortis Ham
ilton for 100000, will refuse to re-
imburse the state on the ground that
Hamilton failed to file with the Sec
retary of state his oath of office, and
was therefore, at no time legally the
head of the department accredited to
him.
John w. Rogers, attorney for the
surety company, announced this posi-
ton last night after he had, he said,
thoroughly searched the office of the
secretary of state for copy of Ham
ilton's oath.
"The former adjutant general did
not fulfill the terms of his appoint
ment, which the law specifically pres
cribes, and we do not recognize that
he was at any time legally the adju-
tant general of this state" said At
torney Roberts last night.
II have had a thorough search
made of the files of the secretary Of
state and have been unable to find
any record of an oath filed by Ham,
ilton. l think this fact sufficient to
defeat any action the state may
bring upon his bond"

RUTH AND ROSS.
Anti-lnvestigating Senator Has a
Fat Job Under Land Commits
sioner Ross.

OLYMPIA, May Is. Senator Ruth
president Of the senate, who led the
fight to defeat the senate resolution
providing for an investigation of
Land Commissioner Ross, Secretary
Of State Nichols, Insurance Commits
sioner Schively and others doesn't
draw dollar from the public crib,
but 4ae' holds fat job just the same
Ruth, during his leadership of the
anti-investigating forces, declared
that he championed Nichols, Ross
and Schively because they were "per-
secuted men," This resolute defend
er Of "persecuted men" became so
indignant during the now famous
conference held in Governor Hays
office that, declaring If another in
vesigation resolution was introduce
ed he would rule it indefinitely post
poned, pale with anger he withdrew
from the meeting. Land Commiss-
sioner Ross also became indignant at
the same conference and threatened
to leave.
During Senator Ruth's fight for
the prosecuted trio," his friends
were enthusiastic in relating how
Ruth did not draw one dollar of
salary from the state except as state
senator. That was true, but Sena-
tor Ruth holds another fat job. Here
is how:
During the administration of For
rest, commissioner Of public lands,
the state entered into contract with
the Seattle & Lake Washington Wa
terway company to dredge state wa
terways and to fill tidelands. Late
in the Forrest administration or dur
ing the early part of the Bridges ad-
ElinistratiOn, dispute arose between
the waterway company and the COM
missioner of public lands as to the
amount of excavation and fill.
A settlement was arrived at
whereby the commissioner was al
lowed to name his own engineer to
check from time to time the work AS
1t proceeded and to advise the COM
missioner of the facts.
1t was agreed that the waterway
company should pay salary of $3.50
per month to an engineer named byl
the commissioner of public lands.
with view of avoiding similar dis
putes in the future.
The same arrangement was con-
tiuued throughout the Bridges and
Calvert administrations.
Some months after Ross became
land commissioner he designated A.
S. Ruth as his consulting engineer.
Ross says that he never approves any
report from the waterway company
until it has the 20. X" of Ruth, who
is a civil engineer.
Patriot Ruth's job is said to be
one of the plums.

Seven Games Straight Gave the 10.
Cal Fans PaipitatiOn Of the Heart.
and Put the Black Cats in Line for
the pennant. Open in Portland
Today.
Seven straight games is

don't think for a minute
that it due to luck either, for they
have deserved to win and did win
by superior playing. In Thursdays
game Starkell held the Beavers to
three hits, while the Cats made six,
scoring three runs, the Beavers fail
ing to cross the pan once. The game
was full of sharp fielding; nearly
every man having an opportunity to
distinguish himself and not once did
failure show up against him.
Fridays game was another shut
out for the home team. Wilder pitch
ed swell ball for Aberdeen, giving but
four hits, while Gilligan for the Wis.,
itors allowed six This game was one
of the most exciting ever played on
the local grounds. No runs were
made until Aberdeen's half of the
ninth inning, and it begun to look
like extra innings, when Carr got
himself in the way of a pitched ball
and was sent to first, Campbell sacri-
feed him to second and he scored on
Swalms beautiful drive between right
and center.
In Saturdays game the two south
paws, Siever and Hickey officiated,
and right here let me say that like
the game the day before it was a
regular pitchers battle, for only nine
hits were registered in the nine in
nings, four by Aberdeen and five by
Van couver. Siever kept the hits of
the Beavers so we'll scattered, and the
fielders took such good care of every
thing coming their way hat the
Champs could not connect with the
plate for a run, while in the ninth
the fighting felines got their five hits
and scored one little run which was
enough to win, to 0. During the
festivities Siever struck out 8, Hickey
6.
Sunday morning Most made his first
appearance here on the mound for
Aberdeen and distinguished himself
by beating the eminent spit-ball ar
tist, Mr.. George Engel. Aberdeen got
two runs in the third, one in the
fourth and one in the fifth and as
Vancouver just couldn't seem to get
one over, 1t looked like another shut
out, but in the ninth Most eased up
a little and before he could gather
himself three runs crossed the plate.
No matter we won, 4 to 3.
