ANT|-bETT|NG LAW
To Be TESTED
EVENTS TO BE HELD AT MADEIRA
AND DEVOTES OF THE CHASE
WILL ATTACK THE NEW LAW
PASSED IN THE STATE.

San Francisco, May S.-The little
town of Modera, in the San Joaquin
valley, Is to be the scene of the at
tempt of the race track followers to
secure a test of the Otis-Walker anti
betting law passed by the late state
legislature, according to persistent
rumors here today. That the famous
coursing park at MADEIRA again will
be filled with devotees of the chase,
and that if test case follows the
racing fraternity will flock to the at
tack of the new statute, is the word
that has been passed about by those
who are supposed to be on the inside
of the confidential circle.
Soon after the passage of the anti
gambling bill, it was planned to re-
open the Ingleside coursing park in
this city. This plan came to naught,
as did several other schemes to secure
test. 1t is said today that plans to
open the MADEIRA park are almost per-
fected. 1t is rumored that former
Judge Carroll Cook, with Henry Ach,
has been retained by those concerned
to care for the legal end of the pro-
ceedings arising from the proposed
attempt.

HamiltOn'S Case.

There is little use in pointing to
the moral in the Hamilton scandal. 1t
stands out like a lone fir in field.
The glare of a searchlight in the
night could not be better defined.
Hamilton, young, handsome and
able, honored and petted by an en-
tire state, so deep in the confidence
of superiors that they seem to have
overlooked some of the essentials of
good business management, is con-
fessed embezzler of state funds, dis
graced, under arrest and probably en-
route to forger's cell in the state
prison.
The woman in the case, one OF the
butterfly variety, may be condemned
as a hypnotist, "sorceress, an
adventures" or any of the terms
that seem to fit the case, but that is
beside the point. She is not to blame
for Hamiltons downfall and she Is
not to be considered in the matter
unless. perchance, she can be brought
into it as a participant in the expen-
diture of stolen state funds. Real
men do not go where they may meet
creatures of her kind.
The state of Washington is having
stirring-up The state insurance
commissioner. the secretary OF state
and the adjutant general are having
their day on the grill. Great wrongs
have been committed in these offices,
and there may be evils in others.
The legislative committee appointed
TO investigate state affairs still has
considerable time at its disposal and
now that the probe has been fairly
started. there should be no cessation
of its efforts. There have been
stories told of error in the land office.
Let the committee ascertain the facts.
While we are housekeeping we
should not omit any of the rooms.
Particularly should the authorities
at this time learn how it happened
that the adjutant general of this state
should have been able to rush
through the state auditors office the
suspicion papers upon which ne
admits he gathered in great amount
of loot.
Are affairs there so managed that
any shrewd thief may dive into the
treasury at will?
Who is responsible for this negli-
gence?
If the investigators ascertain that
the auditor allowed this thing to go
on through carelessness, then that
official should resign quickly and
make room for a man who will pay
strict attention to the matter Tor
which the office was created
namely, to audit state accounts and
protect the state treasury. If the
officer is not protection to the state
the position had better be dispensed
with as an economic measure.-Ta

ROSS AMAZED At
EVIDENCE
COMMISSIONERS FRIENDS SAY
HE WAS IMPOSED UPON BY
READY FOR PROBE.

Olympia, May 8-President Ruth
of the senate, who led the fight for
Nichols and Schively to prevent an
investigation, has promptly jumped
from under when the facts became
known. asserting that he had been
imposed upon by the two officials.
1t is now an open secret that Land
Commissioner Ross realizes that he
made a serious mistake in lining up
with Nichols and Schively in fighting
the proposition for an investigation
before the last legislature. Ross
friends say that he, too, was imposed
upon by Nichols and Schively and
that he is in the same boat with
Ruth.
Ross Invites Investigation.
While Ross does not relish being
placed in the position of condemning
Nichols and Schively, he realizes that
he has been put in bad light
through the alleged alliance with the
secretary of state and insurance COM
missioner, and now he comes out
squareIy for an investigation of his
office.
cit has been understood that you
were opposed to an investigation of
the state offices. If this was true,
why were you?" Mr.. Ross was asked.
1.-TWO years ago / voluntarily asked
for an investigation of my own Of
flee" answered Mr.. Ross. During
the session of 1909 I did not at any
time oppose an investigation of the
affairs of my office on my own ac-
count. / believed that the indefinite,
uncertain charges made against GER
tain other officers had no foundation
in fact; that it was case of persecu-
ton of certain officers. However,
the recent developments at Olympia
are a matter of establishment to me.
''I do not wish to be placed in the
position of condemning any one,
therefore l beg to be excused from
commenting further on these devel-
opments. S far as my office is con-
cerned, I have said that I did not
oppose an investigation on my own
account. However, after the COM
mittee to investigate had been pro-
vijed for by the legislature and ap-
pointments had been made, I went to
every member of the committee and
stated to them individually that SO
far as my office was concerned, re-
gardless of talk and rumor, If they
thought anything should be investi-
gated or that charges made or init
nations brought forth that things
were not right, the committee would
not meet me opposing them at the
door ON technical or other grounds,
but that on the contrary / would well
come any investigation that the COM
mittee might see fit to make.
