Gives Waite Probe TO SoIons.

Declaring that NJ. W Waite's
charges against Insurance Commits
sioner George +. Beedle and his de-
partment are of such great importance
that they warrant a full legislative
investigation, Attorney General Frank
l.. Gilbert in his opinion to Gov.
Davidson Saturday recommends that
the governor turn the entire matter
over 10 the Legislature, with the recon
mendatiOns that that body institute an
inquiry Assuming that the charges
made by the deputy insurance com

cral stamps them as grave offenses
He intlmates that the people have

Taking up the first charge, that the
insurance commissioner permitted the
Interstate Livestock Company Of the
state OF Washington to establish its
business in Wisconsin without the eX-
animation required b. law, Attorney
General Gilbert says,
IF the commissioner Of insurance
failed TO make such examination "a

uughly and fully to investigate the
books and financial affairs OF said
company and also failed TO see that
the proper amount OF security was
deposited according to law before he

TRAIN STRUCK OLD
INDIAN
70. 4 PASSENGERS LAST NIGHT
RAN INTO AGED INDIAN ABOVE
CASHMERE FRACTURING HIS
SKULL AND KILLING HORSE.

The No. f. passenger train which
arrived in this city last night at 4:40
ran into an aged Indian, Doc Jim,
Just above Cashmere, killing the In
dams horse and also fracturing the
Indians skull and breaking two
ribs. 1t is thought that he will not
recover.
Doc Jim is one of the best known
of the Wenatchee Indians. He is
said to be fully 100 years old and is
very deaf. He did not hear the train
coming and 1t was on him before he
was aware of its presence. The
horse was killed outright and Doc
Jim had his skull fractured and two
ribs broken. Information from
Cashmere this morning says that the
doctors there consider that the old
man cannot recover. After the acci.
dent the train was stopped and the
engineer and conductor ran out to
render aid to the wounded man. The
Indians dog, however, did not allow
the trainmen to touch the Indian
The train was started up and after
they reached Cashmere help was sent
out from there.

WILL PLANT 125
ACRES
j. W. USHER, REPRESENTING
OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA
OWNERS TO PUT IN BIG TRACT
NEAR ROCK ISLAND.

S. w. Usher, one of the Ohio col
ony which arrived here last spring
and are making homes in East We
natchee near Rock Island, states
that he is putting in 125 acres OF
orchard for Ohio and Pennsylvania
owners. This is to be planted to
Winesap, Delicious and Spitzenberg
apples.
Mr.. Usher states that those who
are making homes at Rock Island
now are very we'll satisfied. This
spring there was not a foot of land
plowed nor a tree set but already
some 900 acres have been broken
and been planted to trees. AS an
evidence of the fact that the people
there are we'll satisfied, Mr.. Usher
states that some two weeks ago one
of the owners there who had eight
acres planted was offered 1925 pei
acre for his ten-acre tract but re-
fsued to sell.

PROPOSES TRAM
WAY FOR WHEAT
NJ. DONEEN SUGGESTS PLAN FOR
CARRYING OF BADGER NOUN.
TAIN WHEAT TO RAILROAD AT
ROCK ISLAND.

M. Doneen has proposed plan
which seems good one and which
may be made feasible for the carry
ing of wheat from Badger mountain
to the Great Northern railroad at
Rock Island.
He suggests that up the Rock Is
land grade a railroad made of light
rails and light cars be constructed.
With such an arrangement the wheat
on the mountain may be loaded into
cars and by gravity be landed at the
railroad at Rock Island. The empty
cars would then be hauled back by
the use of teams. One good team
could haul back a number of small
empty cars up this road. The road
would need to be Is miles long.
On Badger mountain there is an
nually raised about 100000 bushels
of grain. The cost of taking this to
market amounts to seven cents a
bushel. 1t is figured that such a
plan ought to save four or five cents
a bushel on the cost of transporta-
tion. II this be true such a road
would pay for itself in a very short
time.

HAMILTON Is TRIAL
APPROACHES
PRISONER, THOUGH COURTEOUS
TO ALL, LOSING AIR OF
CHEERFULNESSW WHICH MARK.
ED HIS DEMEANOR AT FIRST.

OLYMPIA, Nov. 13.-The trial OF
Ortis Hamilton, former adjutant-
general. for appropriating state funds
to his own use has been set for No
vember %, and Judge Mitchell of the
Thurston county superior court an
nounced there would be no further
delay in this celebrated prosecution.
Assistant Attorney General Magill
has the prosecution all prepared and
is impatient to proceed with the case.
The trial was set for hearing at
the supreme term of the court, but
Hamiiton's attorneys applied for fur
ther delay, alleging there had not
been time in. which to prepare the
defense. Judge Mitchell extended
the time until the special session OF
the court in November and set Ham
ilton's hearing to the very last on
the docket to give him every oppor-
tunity to be ready with his defense.
The prisoner was allowed to spend
several entire days in the attorney
generals department going over his
vouchers and military accounts, as
sisted by an expert accountant. He
stated at that time that he expected
to be able to show at his trial that
every dollar of the states money
which passed through his hands had
been expended for the benefit of the
! military department.
AS the time for the trial approach
es, Hamilton is losing in a degree
his air of cheerfulness and confidence
which marked his demeanor during
the early days of his imprisonment
He is still courteous ami gentleman
ly in his intercourse with the prison
officials and his attorneys, who COM
pose his entire calling list.
For several weeks after his arrest
Hamilton was allowed liberty not
generally accorded to an accused
man under arrest He went to a
boarding house unattended for his
meals and spent his days assisting
the landlady" about the house, re-
turning unattended to his cell - al
night. Yielding to adverse criticism
on this count, the sheriff curtailed
these liberties and since that time
the former adjutant general has beer
confined in the Jail the same as any
other prisoner.
