eminent officials, the attOr-
ney generals office and the
prosecuting attorney of
Thurston county joined
forces today in an effort to
run down the leaders of the
forging, opium smuggling
and vice ring which is be-
lieved to have extended Its
operations over the entire
state and to be responsible
for the forging of $4,000
worth of Industrial insurance
commission warrants.
In Seattle, handwriting experts
are still at work trying to dis
cover the perpetrators of the for
geries which include the names
OF physicians, supposed injured
workmen and employers of sever
al counties of the state.
U. s. Agent Busy.
At the same time A. B. Hamar,
special agent of the U. s. treas
ury department in Seattle, Is re-
newing his Investigations begun
last summer into the activities of
an alleged opium smuggling ring
whose movements were said to
have been traced from Blaine on
the Canadian border to the state
capitol.
State officials are of the belief
that the members of the ring are
the ones responsible for the for
geries.
That they are seeking to round
up the forgers by getting at the
leaders in the opium ring was
shown this morning when the in
dustrial insurance commissioners
held an hours conference with
former Chief of Police Hall, who
is being held on a charge of ac-
cepting bride in connection with
the vice investigation here.
Tells of Smuggling.
Sometime ago Hall is said to
have notified the commissioners
that at least one of its employees
was engaged in smuggling opium.
At that time Chairman Daggett
turned the case over to Marsh l
Boyle and Special Agent Harmar,
who, after an investigation, clear.
ed the employe of any smuggling
operations.
Daggett vigorously denies that
no attention was paid to Hall's
statement. The disclosures yes
terday and the renewal of the
stories of smuggling enterprises
financed by funds stolen from the
state from the funds has added
new impetus to the investigation.
The evidence so rar has not
warranted any arrests, and the Of
ficials are awaiting something
something more conclusive.
Detectives are at work scour-
ing Tacoma for some clew which
may lead to an arrest.

She had found 1t necessary to
prove that the boy was an Ameri-

OF this was the birth certificate.
Search of the records showed
that the birth certificate had
never been filed. Shortly before
noon, however, health authorities
called DR.. M. II. Van Buren,, who
was present when the boy was
born.
The physician consented to pre-
