during said time j. II. Schively was
deputy insurance commissioner was
for all of said time practically in full
control of the insurance department
of this state; that he issued and re-

managed the entire departments: that
his wrongful, arbitrary and unwar-
ranted conduct, as set forth in the
above findings, was not only higlv
reprehensible, but extremely injur-
ious to the interests of the insuring
public in this state; that his gross
insOlvent, irresponsible and fradul-
ent companies to flourish and prosper
for a time; that his failure to per-
form the duties imposed upon him
by the insurance laws shows him to
be incompetent and inefficient, and
has brought the insurance department
of the state of Washington into great
'disrepute, both in this state and
abroad; and that his practices in
wrongfully collecting excessive fees
and retaining them brands him as
corrupt and unworthy official

Tried to Hold Down Lid.

"Soon after arriving at the capital
last winter l began to hear strange
stories of how some of our state Of
ficers were conducting their depart
ments No honorable man could al
law these stories to be repeated to
him day after day without demand
ing an immediate and thorough in
vestigation. In time | was forced to
accept the position where, as head of
the state government, | could not in
justice to myself as a state officer
allow such stories to be scattered
abroad. | commenced quiet in
vestigation to satisfy myself, and the
further | probed the more satisfied |
became that the stories were based
upon more than idle rumor. When
ever attempted to lift the lid to see
what was doing on inside the pot,
invariably found certain officials
sitting on the lid shouting: EVERY
thing is straight here. We are all
honest"
In time both branches of the leg
islature became convinced that an in
vestigation was needed. Accordingly,
a resolution was passed creating the
investigating committee. The COM
mittee was composed of three mem
bers who had voted for the resolution
and two who had voted against it..
The two who voted against the reso-
luton had been presistently and con-
sistently against the administration
all during the Legislative session.
However, when appointed on the
committee they realized that they
had assumed "a grave responsibility
and went at their work in a thorough
and conscientious manner.

Governor Hays Statement.

Following is the statement in full
of Governor Hay:
THE acquittal of Mr.. Schively on
all the charges in the articles of i'm
parchment by the vote of ii senators
was a surprise to me, for | had given
little credence to the rumors in cir
culation during the closing days of
the trial that the defense had Il de-
pendable lineup of sufficient num-
Der of senators who would vote to ac-
quit regardless of the evidence or the
| facts. 1t seemed to me altogether in
credible that a number of senators
would assume such a prepOsterous
position in violation of their solemn
oath and disregard of their sworn
duty.
Il am unable to understand how
any man, much less man occupying
the high position of senator of the
state of Washington. could so stulti-
| fly himself as to vote for an acquittal
after hearing the evidence submitted
and proved beyond reasonable doubt
by the board of managers. The ad-
mission made by the respondent on
the stand was conviction in itself.
There Is absolutely no question as
to this. The very substantial vote
of 26 for conviction to ii for acquit-
tai shows that large ma ajority of
the senator's were fully convinced
that the insurance commissioner was
guilty as charged.

Fire Department Responds.

Efforts to get the fire hall by tele-
essary to send in an alarm from the
closest box. This was at the Ma
tional bank corner and the depart
ment Immediately made a fast run
to the ssene.
The condition of the streets made
it impossible for the chemical fire
wagons to get near the scene and
every foot of the 1900 feet of hose
used had to be carried to the fire
This handicapped the work of the
department and enabled the fire to
get such IA big start that nearly all
the buildings consumed were doomed
before the men got hose in place and
streams playing.
Before the fire apparatus could
reach the ground the old barn build
ing, built of cedar shakes and filled
with box shocks, was a mass of
flames.
Several firemen ran to headquarters
and dragged hose cart up Seventh
street in the path of the flames and
saved the Hoquiam Auto & Garage
building and other blocks in the
neighborhoOd.
BY the time hose was laid the Of
fees of the HOquiam Lumber &
Shingle company, across the street
from the barn, had caught fire from
the excessive heat, and in short
time was a mass of seething flames.
From there the fire spread to the
grocery store of Swanson Bros, and
this building and it's entire contents
We're doomed. The handsome new
Packard automobile of r. F. Lytle
very short time would have been de-
strOyed, but the chauffer brought
the car to place of safety, although
he was badly burned and the car
damaged.
The fire then spread to the two
buildings adjoining the Grayport
and these were destroyed.
The intense heat broke all the
windows in the Grayport hotel on
the north side and also the sky
lights on the roof, but outside of
blistering some furniture and the
broken glass, the damage was nom-
inal.
The only thing that prevented the
fire from sweeping out the business
portion of the city was the fireproof
structure in which the hotel is To-
Gated. An east wind carried the
flames across | street, but the eX-
cellent work of the firemen prevent
ed serious damage.
For time the buildings west of

ried distance of 10 to ) blocks
The Y. NJ. c. a. building was discov-

many places. Willing hands were

the bucket brigade had the fire out
Then came an alarm that the Swed-
ish church, located six blocks away
was burning, and the department re-
sponded and laid a line of hose, saw

SCH|VELY GOES FREE
FOURTEEN SENATORS STAND BY
INSURANCE Commissioner,
Governor Hay Says SChiveIy Was
Proved Guilty, and riarVelS at the
Lame Excuse Given by the "SOIid
FOurteen." Puts the Verdict Up
to the People.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 27-By the vote
of IA senator's for acquittal John H.
Schively, the central figure in the first
Impeachment trial ever held in the
state of Washington, remains at the
head of the insurance department. In
an interview given out today Cover
nor Hay says he marvels ''at the in
tricate process of reasoning by which
they contrived to arrive at their de-
cisions,' referring to the solid IA, ,"
who saved Schively,a and he also states,
that he believes the charges contain
ed in the report of the legislative in
vestigating committee were COM
pletely substantiated."
The trial has cost not more than
100000, according to w. T. Laube,
secretary of the senate. He says that
the $4,000 will include the cost of
publishing the record of the proceed
ings. Less than 30 per cent went for
the salaries of the Legislators. while
the cost of witness fees and mileage
for them will amount to about $4,-
600.

Special Session Justified.

''From the evidence presented in
the trial and the admission of the
defendant, | am satisfied that the
charges contained in the report of
the Legislative committee were COM
pletely substantial and the calling
of the extraordinary session for the
purpose of instituting impeachment
proceedings was fully justified.
THE board of managers, in prose-
cutting the charges against the insur-
ance commissioner, represented the
state in an able, fair and conscien-
'tious manner, admirably acquitting
themselves of the responsible and un-
pleasant duty imposed upon them. 1t
Is not for me to question the motives
or the sincerity of the IA senators
who voted for acquittal on each and
every count, but | marvel at the in
tricate process of reasoning by which
they contrived to arrive at their de-
cisons
1.-The case has now passed beyond
official jurisdiction and is up to the
highest tribunal of all, the people of
the state who will render the final
verdict"

BIG CUR|O STORE
IS THERE TO STAY
How a Run,or of Its Discontinuanes
Probably Originated.

Every day. some anxious patron of
BaIke's Big Curio store wants to know
if it is a fact that Mr.. Bake is going
to retire from business. Though he
has frequently stated that he had no
intention of doing so the idea has got
abroad that that is his intention and
his friends call to express their regret
This error has probably grown out
of the fact of the reduction price sale
which is herein explained. This cut
price sale was instituted to get rid of
the stock of the Hotel Adams store
which was. moved back to the main
store on the first of the year
The starting Of that store was one of
the few business mistakes of Mr..
Bake. He believed that the location,
the bringing of a large quantity Of Gu
rious right under the noses of the
guests of the hotel who come from all
parts of the country would result in a
heavy business. He accordingly put
in large and high grade stock. having
fitted the room UP at great expense.
The guests of the hotel seemed to
regard it as one of the attractions Of
the hotel. Visitors were numerous and
fully appreciative of it as an exhibit,
one of the most attractive they had
ever seen. The salesladies in charge
were treated merely as attendants en-
ployed by the hotel to show things to
the guests and explain them. In these
respects the store was a great success
but the sales were disappointing.
Mr.. Bake thinks a great deal of Mr.
Adams and was glad to be the humble
means of increasing the attractiveness
of his hotel but felt toward the last
that he could not afford to pay rent
for keeping the exhibit there to say
nothing of laying out of the use of the
money he had invested in stock and
the money he was paying in salaries.
Therefore the stock was moved back
to the main store and there was not
enough room for it; hence the reduc-
ton sale. But Mr.. Bake is not going
out of business. He is merely going
out of the Hotel Adams store stock.
or trying to.
That venture was a good advertise
ment for the Big Curio store but it
was a money loser, and now Mr.. Bake
in order to recuperate is selling post
cards at a penny apiece. He has more
than two millions Of them embracing
views of everything in this valley and
city worth seeing.
