Former Adjutant General Valves
Preliminary Examination and Asks
That Case Be Taken Up at
Once.

OLYMPIA, May S-Ortis Hamilton
former adjutant general, was this
morning arraigned before Police
Magistrate Giles, charged with the
embezzleInent of state funds. He
pleaded not guilty and waived exam
ination.
He asked that the case be imme-
diately transmitted to the superior
court for trial.
His bail still remains at $4,000.
He returned to- Jail after the hearing.
The little court room was packed
when Hamilton entered He betrayed
no recognition of any of the spectators
He comported himself in an abstracted
manner. apparently uninterested in the
proceedings He was represented by
Judge Robinson From what can be
learned he is no nearer raising bail
than when he was first arrested.
He spent his first night in Jail in
the office of the deputy sheriff, where
a bed was made. This apparent favor
itism shown Hamilton wrought up the
people of Olympia and the deputy
action was severely criticised. They
asserted the former military officer is
not entitled to any more consideration
than any other prisoner.

TANNERS AND SHOE
MEN ASK NO DUTY
Independents Are Storming Washing
ton Asking That Hides Be Allowed
to Come in on the
Free List.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Indepen-
dent tanners and shoe manufacturers
are storming Washington in the inter-
est of free hides. Working just as
stubbornly for a retention Of the Is
per cent duty is the meat trust, which,
through the Texas cattlemens asso-
citation, is conducting an extensive and
expensive lobby to influence the action
of the senate.
Although the house by a substantial
majority declared for free hides, Sen
ator Aldrich, who is plotting the Payne
bill in the senate, is seeking to have
dutiable hides. 1t is the general sup
position that he is using his efforts to
have hides taxed in order to have that
proposition for trading purposes with
the house when the tariff measure fin
ally reaches conference.
1t IS alleged by the free hide advo-
Gates that the duty on hides benefits
only the meat trust which is said to be
In the tanning business The shoe men
state that with free hides their fac
tories, which employ over a quarter OF
a million wage earners, can be kept In
constant motion, not having to suffer
two and three month "close downs
each year owing to the lack of hides
The shoe export business now amounts
to only eleven million dollars year.
Free hides they say, would mean the
building up of an export shoe busi-
ness of eighty million dollars year,
the constant employment of all of the
present wage earners in the industry
and a substantial increase in their
number. The revenue to the govern
ment from the hide duty has been ST.
100000 a year for the past five years
This is offset, it is declared, in the
economic view of the situation, by the
great many wage earners who are out
of employment some months in each
year.

Party Last Heard of Was

NA1ROB1, Africa, May S.-(By War
d1ngton Dawson, correspondent for the
United Press known here
as "Bwanna Tumbo", was sought to-
day by native chiefs who wish him to
accept the office of high priest of the
jungle. Medicine men and miracle
workers of the Masas tribe have
warned the people that an evil star is
presaging drought, famine and pesti-
lence and superstitions of these men
is law to natives and the prediction is
dire terror to the tribe.
After a council today the natives de-
cided to wait several days for the re-
turn of Roosevelt, who will be asked
to Danish the evil spirit. If he does not
return within a short time runners will
be sent to the jungle for him.
The Roosevelt party was last re-
ported to be trailing several giraffes
in a southwestern direction.

Claims He Discharged Men
Who Then Reported TO
Humane Society.
WANTED TO TAKE
MATTER INTO COURT
Horses Were Not His But
Belonged to Men in
Need of Work.

1.-TWO of my men were discharged
and two others resigned because they
thought they were to be fired" said
Contractor c.. F.. Carts this morning in
speaking of the action taken yesterday
afternoon by members of the humane
society to prevent the working of unfit
horses on excavation operations on
East Main street. They had been re-
peatedly told to give those horses suf-
fering with collar sores every atten-
ton, and because they failed to need
the instructions, were let off. Then
they stirred up all of this controversy
through a desire to get even,' when
there was Absolutely nothing to it,
Mr.. Carts feels that he has been done
grave injustice through the publica-
ton of the account; of the alleged cru
city to horses being used in the work
and this morning said he was willing to
be placed under arrest and take the
matter into court for a thorough sift-
ing. The men who had been discharg-
ed saw an opportunity to cause trou-
BILE, and they took their complaint to
the humane society, with the result
that police officers were called to the
scene to prevent the continuation Of
the sO-called cruelty.
Me horses are in much better con-
uItlOH tldU luoy were a snort time
ago." continued Mr.. Carts, for the
reason that the men who have taken
the places of the disgruntIed ones, are
attending to their sores. 1t would be
difficult to find a horse at this season
of the year that is not afflicted with
some variety of infection caused by
friction of the collar, and I'll wager
that those being used in my work are
not as bad as hundreds of others in
the city After the women had brought
DR.. Woods to pronounce the animals
unfit for service, l told them to place
me under arrest so / could fight it
out in the courts, but they refused to
do so. l then called all work off for
the afternoon"
Mr.. Carts says three of the teams
pronounced unfit for service by the
veterinarian belonged to men who are
in need of employment, and that, be-
cause they were hauling his wagons.
the disgruntled ones jumped at the
conclusion that ne owned the animals.
Such was not the case, however. The
horses are said by Mr.. Carts to be VAL
liable animals, one team having been
purchased last week for $500. AS the
owner was not equipped with a wagon.
he desired to do the plOwing for the
excavation, and his horses were Ell
gagged for that work when the women
nterfered.
Work is going on as usual tn s
morning" said Mr.. Carts. L have had
the unfit horses laid off for a few
days and they are receiving special
treatment. l have been done an in
justice, though, and it does not seem
right that such stuff should be print
ed without giving me an opportunity
to tell the truth of the matter"

cry.

Secured Position as Cook on
Ranch on Eureka
Flat Farm
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
FOUND WORK FOR HER
Saw Story in the Statesman
and Wrote Information
to Peter Werner.

Word was received in the city this
morning by Peter Werner, whose wife
he's been mysteriOuSly missing since
last Thursday. that she has been To-
Gated living on the ranch of Charles
Rice two miles from Eureka Junction
Upon seeing the notice of Mrs. Wer-
ners absence from the city in the
Evening Statesman, Mr.. Rice imme-
dately notified the anxious husband
by letter. which was received this
morning
Stating to her neice, Martha Peter
son, that she was going to leave for
COnnell, where she would spend sever
al days visiting relatives, Mrs. Wer-
ner packed a suit case and diSap>
peared. 1t has now been found that
she went to the employment office Of
Mrs. Mollie Johnson, in this city, and
asked for a position. This was fur
nished her and on the same day she
went to Eureka Junction where she
has since been employed as a cook.
The reason for this strange behavior
on the part of Mrs. Werner is, ac-
Cording to Mr.. Werner. that she be-
lieyed she would become much strong
er, living in the country than in the
city but thinking that her husband
would object to her leaving here. she
was afraid to tell him. Consequently
her story regarding the visit she was
to pay to her relatives in Connell was
made up for the occasion.
Mr.. Werner has not gone after his
wife yet and at the present time is
undecided what to do as he fears that
any sudden shock might be serious for
her In conversation with a newspaper
representative this morning he said
that he believed he would let her re-
main where she was for a few davs

aoly prove invaluable in a case such
