HAMILTON IS CONVICTED
Former Adiutant- General is Found
Guilty of Larceny By
Embezzlement

OLYMPIA, Dec 14.-"Guilty as
charged" was the verdict brought in
last night by the ewelve men selected
to try Ortis Hamilton, former adju-
tant general of the national guard,
on a charge of larceny by embezzle-
ment in collecting $1,1SS of the
states money and converting it to
his own use.
The jury was out for five hours and
fifteen minutes and took six ballots.
The first ballot showed ten for con-
viction and two for acquittal, and
just before going to dinner the
twelve were evenly divided. After
eating they stood ten and two again,
the majority for conviction. The enxt
two ballots were eleven and one, and
then came the last and deciding bal
lot when all agreed upon his guilt.
Hamilton took the news of his
conviction calmly, showed no sur
prise and was as cool as at the time
the trial opened three weeks ago.
His attorneys will give notice of an
appeal tomorrow before Judge r.
Mitchell, who tried the case.
The other three charges against
Hamilton cannot be tried until next
February.
The penalty is under the indeter-
inmate sentence plan, from one TO
ten years at the state penitentlary.
The court in it's discretion may order
the minimum time served in the
county Jail.

LABOR IN BATTLE
WITH STEEL TRUST
Union Officials Say Monopoly is Not
Cause of Social and Moral
Carnage

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 14.-War
was formally declared upon the
United States Steel Corporation by
leaders of organized labor through
out the United States and Canada at
the close of two days conference
today. The decision to battle against
the stand taken by the steel corpora
tion in it's policy of ''open shop" was
reached by the labor conferees after
hours of debate.
At the conference, Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, presided and,
through him the measure was put
upon the record books of the eXecu
tive council of the federation.
The grievances of organized labor
against the steel corporation, as set
forth in the resolution, have been
forwarded to President Taft, to the
United States senate and to the
house of representatives. Governors
of the states in which the United
States Steel Corporation owns plants
or has interests also will receive
copies.

The CENTRAL BANK NICARAGUAN REVOLT
INTERVENTION BY The UNITED
STATES DEMANDED.
People Organize Vigilance Commit
tee to Prevent Escape Of Pre- Sident
ZeIaYa. Ruler Denounced on fy.
cry Hand and Whole Country Is in
Ferment.

MANAGUA, Mic, Dec. 14.-The
people of Managua are in open revolt
against Zelaya without check from
the police, and a vigilance commit
tee has been organized to prevent
the escape Of the president. The peo-
pie openly demand intervention by
the United States, and are crowding
the streets giving vent to unrestrain-
ed denunciation of the administra-
ton.
Shouts of Long live liberty"
Long live the United States,' Long
live Mexico" and Long live Estrada"
are heard on every side.
The street demonstrations began
last night from denuciatory speeches
in congress and the temper of the
people was madly excited by the re-
port that battle had been fought
and won by Vasquez, commanding
the Zelayan forces around Rama. and
that Vasquez had massacred large
number of revolutionists.
With this report came the addi-
tional rumor that Vasquez had viO-
lated the armistice, and it was not
considered probable that he would do
so unless under instructions from
Zelaya. These reports lost nothing
in passing from mouth to mouth. AS
the Mexican minister was the guar
antor of the armistic it is stated that
that official will lask for his passports
unless satisfactory explanations are
made.
The whole country is in a ferment.
Zelaya is denounced on every hand,
but he is master of the situation, and
the people fear a wholesale eXecu-
tion of political prisoners. The
prisons are full of men, most of
whom are half starved and doubt
less would welcome DEATH
A serious danger threatens, for the
American concessionaire of the cleo
tric lighting plant declares that he
will put the whole city in darkness
il large sum of money due is not
paid before noon tomorrow. This
bill amounts to 10000 pesos, and it
is hardly probable that the demand
will be met.
The American vice Vonsul, Henry
Calder. has stuck to his post and con-
Quoted the business Of his Office un-
der conditions of much danger.

MILLION WOULD
MAKE A. HARBOR
United States Eneineer Tells Grays
Harbor to Get Busy in
CONGRESS-

81 am of the opinion that if the
business men of Grays Harbor would
make a united effort and secure an
appropriation of 81 100000 to make
high-tide jetty of the present north
side ietty and extend it, say about
1000 feet further ehtOtnvour's "A .es
1000 feet further into the Pacific.
that a harbor equal to San Francisco
or, in fact, to any other of the great
harbors of the country, would be the
result"
So said United States Engineer j.
T.. Clapp, who has been here for sew
eral days inspecting the work done
by the government.
"a million dollars" continued
Major Clapp, would do the work re-
qulred. There is already on the
ground everything needed to carry
on this additional work, and the
present false work and everything
else would enable the engineers to
go right ahead. 1t seems to me ST.
100000 could be secured by united
work all along the line, and with
the proper influence brought to bear
on the Washington delegation"
Mr.. Clapp and Engineer e. l..
Carpenter investigated the north
ietty last week and found that it had
not been materially damaged by the
recent terrific storms and high tides.
1t is probable that the work of
dredging the inner harbor will be
started the latter part of the week.
There is an uneXpended appropria-
ton of $4,000 to be used for this
work. From the HARDWOOD mill,
down the bay, the channel will be
widened to 200 feet. 1t is expected
that this will give ample water in
the inside channel. The present
depth of water on the bar at mean
low tide is 21 feet. The channel is
fast being cleared out, and the north
jetty prevents it's filling up.
There is a gradual sloughing away
Of all unnecessary material in the
channel and on the bar. Engineer
Clap is very optimistic about con-
ditions for the future.

Victor H. Beckman, secretary of

ed a letter from Secretary Smith, of
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association, in closing a clipping
from a St. Louis paper stating that
the shingle men had organized an
zironclad trust embracing more than
two-thirds of the out put of the

out from Tacoma, was true.
About ten days ago San Fran
cisco papers also carried dispatch

stating that the shingle manufacture

The reports of an alleged combine
or shingle trust grew out of the fact
that at a recent monthly meeting of
the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufac-

lutions were adopted asking the trus-
tees to look into the advisability Of
organizing shingle branch of the
association similar to the rail and

A story is told Of the late bishop Of

berry. Lord Rosebery complained to
the bishop of want of sleep, to which
the bishop replied that he never suf-
fered from insomnia. The earl OBJ
served that he wished he knew the
remedy. The bishops formula was
very simple. If he felt drowsy he
started TO write a sermon and in a
few moments he was wide awake. On
the other hand if he wanted to sleep
all he had TO do was to start to read
a sermon. Then sleep came in few
seconds. Lord Rosebery replied that
it was his practice 10 choose the less
err evil, and he preferred want OF
sleep to reading sermons.
