SPECIAL SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE

Olympia, Aug. 1.-THE Washing
ton legislature met in special session
today to sit as court of impeach-
ment for the trial of State Insurance
Commissioner John H. Schively,
against whom charges were filed last
June following a sensational investi-
cation of the affairs of the state in
surance department by a committee
appointed by the legislature. The
case against Commissioner Sehively
is the outgrowth of political scandals
which have stirred the state of Wash
ingtOn for many months past and in
which charges of alleged mismanage-
ment and dishonesty in the conduct
of various departments of the state
government have been freely made.
The articles Of impeachment
against the state insurance commits
sioner contain nearly thirty counts
in all. First and foremost among the
charges Is that of perjury, alleged to
have been committed before the SpO-
kane county grand jury in cOnnec-
ton with the financial status of the
Pacific Livestock association. In the
most of the other counts the insur-
ance commissioner is accused OF hav-
ing conducted himself in an arbitrary
way and of being guilty Of extOrtion.
Under the head of eXtortion he is
charged with having on various occa-
sions accepted money to permit in
surance companies to do business in
the state.

extracted an old but well-1filled wallet
from the hip pocket of the unsuspect-

place he opened it.
The contents had been wrapped with
great care in numerous thlcknesses of
blank paper. Removing the wrappings
one by one, he found in the center of
the package a card with this inscrip-
