SHAW Is IMPLICATED

Former Secretary Of The Treasury
Charged as Confederate of Moore
Seattle-Affidavits intimating that
Leslie M. Shaw, ex-secretary Of the
treasury, aided James A. Moore to
promote the Western Steel Corpora
ton, which has been through one fed
eral receivership and is now in the
state courts on petition by Moore for
another, were filed in the superior
court by the Metropolitan Trust COM
pany of New York, which Is being
sued by Moore for 100000 damages
alleged to have resulted from the first
receivership.
The Metropolitan Trust company at
tempts to show by the affidavits that
Mr.. Shaw aided Moore in obtaining a
100000 loan from the trust company
and that Shaw received 750 shares of
Western Steel stock with no record
of having paid for it.
Moore brought a suit in Jefferson
county nearly three months ago and
caused a receiver to be appointed
without notice by Judge Lester Still
of Port Townsend. The trust COM
pany filed an affidavit Of prejudice
against Judge Still, and thereupon the
case was sent by him to King county.
Scott Calhoun, attorney for Moore,
moved to remand the case back to
Judge Still on the ground of convent
ence of witnesses in Jefferson county,
and that he had no notice that the
case was to be removed to King coun-

ELECTION CONTEST IS FILED
Feidler Disputes Rogers Ma.
jority of One.
Irregularities In Count Charged

On the non-official report of votes
cast in the First commissioner district,
as given in The MINER last week, John
T. Rogers, of Scotia, had majority of
two over C. A. Fielder for the Repub-
lican nomination for commissioner.
On Friday morning it was discovered
that there had been but five Republican
votes cast in Camden precinct, with nine
votes counted forRogers, two for Fielder.
1t was at once apparent that the judges
had made an error in counting votes,
had written in the names of Republican
candidates, and they had been counted
by the judges, contrary to the wording
of the law. The law requires that each
voter must callforthe ballOtof the party
with which he affiliates, and therefore
he is permitted to vote only for candi-
dates within his party, and where he
writes in the name of a man who is a
candidate on some other party ticket
the vote on that office cannot be counted.
On Saturday the Board of Canvassers,
consisting of DR.. Sutherland, chairman
of the Board of County Commissioners;
III. H. Murray, auditor, and H. w.
Reading, prosecuting attorney, started
the werk of canvassing the official re-
turns. The board at once were advised
of the discrepancy in the vote reported
from Camden precinct, and the question
as to whether the board had the right
to reject the precinct returns or would
be obliged to accept the return written
in the poll book, was put up to the at
torney- general of the state for decision.
An answer was received at $3.50 o. M,
advising the board that they must &C.
cept the poll book figures, and the only
manner in which to correct the returns
would be by the aggrieved party insti-
tuting contest, when the ballots could
be opened and recounted.
Fielder gained one in the Johnston
precinct over the non-official report,
and, taking the Camden returns as re-
ported in the poll book, Rogers was left
with majority of one.
On Monday morning Mr.. Fielder,
through his attorney, A. S. Sherlock,
filed notice of a contest, and asked the
judge of the Superior Court for an order
citing the presence of the Board of
Canvassers, the judges and Inspector of
Camden precinct in court, for the pur-
pose of recounting the ballots of that
precinct. Judge Carey was Informed
OF the situation by telephone, and agreed
