present seemed to have enjoyed
the program immensely. The club
rooms are beautiful, strictly mod

all present feel that the new era

H. Doc Hamilton, Bar Cue King,
Died Monday At Marine Hospital

James H. doc" Hamilton, one
of Seattle's most colorful char
acters during the lusty days of
prohibition, died yesterday morn
ing at the age of fifty-one.
Hamilton, a veteran of the last
war, died in Marine Hospital from
heart disease. He had been in
poor health for number of years.
Hospital records listed Hamilton's
birthplace as West Point, Miss.
1t was just after the last war
that he became a familiar figure
in the Northwest. AS cabaret
and night club operator here he
frequently made the headlines
with his numerous brushes of pro-
hibition officials.
Built 1908 Club"
After several smaller ventures
doc" Hamilton built his expen-
sive 1908" Club up on 18th Ave.
which, featuring excellent food
and Docs own New Orleans Gin
Fizz," was a favorite rendezvous
for Seattle's night club set. After
numerous skirmishes, the law clos
ed him up, and doc" dropped out
of sight for a few years.
He made several attempts to re-
establish himself as a restaurant
teur and cabaret operator, but the
depression and his own generosity
kept him low on funds. His old
friends often said that doc"
couldn't say no to any request for
financial help. He was one of the
best liked figures in the city.
A special meat preparation =
doc Hamilton's Barbecue Sauce"
which he made from his own re-
cipe, and sold in hotels and res
taurants here, kept him going dur
ing the lean years between his
ventures.
Tried Comeback
Backed by fresh funds, he tried
another comeback in 1889 at his
old location on 18th Ave-, but
somehow it failed to click. doc"
dropped out of sight from his old
haunts during the past few years,
his friends said yesterday. Few
knew he was i'll when the report
of his death reached his old neigh
borhood at 18th Ave. and Jackson
st.
The body was taken to the
Home Undertaking Parlor where
funeral arrangements will be
made. He had been married, but
was separated from his wife sew
eral years ago, it was reported.
DOCS" passing will be mourn
ed by thousands, white and black
who remember him for his gen.
erous response to all appeals -
rich or poor.

cleaned up In a number of State
elections.
The handling of fuel oil rationing
has been a subject of criticism, Bit
ter in many cases. There is reason
to feel, Senator Brown believes,
that it could have been greatly
simplified and less of a burden to
consumers by acting through dealers
familiar with the needs of the con-
sumers.
An investigation of the OPA setup
in Atlanta revealed the fact that the
personnel is enormous. The names,
positions and salaries were obtained
and published in the Atlanta Journal,
by its Washington correspondent,
Ralph Smith. 1t required several
columns of the newspaper to print
the names. The salaries ranged
from 5000 to $1,000 with a great
many in the higher brackets. The
total payroll for the Atlanta setup
was shown to be over $1,000 900.
There were, in addition to these
higher paid employees, many of whom
were lawyers, large number of
clerks and stenographers.
Piloted Price Control.
Senator Brown piioted the price
control legislation through the Sen
ate. He is thoroughly familiar with
1t and what Congress intended. Al
though he fought the farm bloc in
Congress on the issue of price CELL
ings for agriculture, there seems no
doubt his nomination for the Office
OF price administrator will be con-
hrmed when it is sent to the Senate.
Having served in both the House
and the Senate, Mr.. Brown has q
wide circle of friends in Congress.
He will have the confidence of both
Republicans and Democrats, who
realize that he has a tough job to
handle. In addition, it may be ex-
pected that publicity methods of the
OPA will be drastically changed.
And Senator Brown himself will
undertake to make the public un-
derstand the need for certain ra-
tioning and for the prices imposed.

Argentina Cool 10 Protest
Against Axis Code Ban
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 1s.-For-
eign Minister Enrique Ruiz Guinazu
indicated last night that Argentina
would reject protests from Germany,
Italy and Japan against a decree
limiting the Axis embassies to a
daily quota of 100 words in diplo-
matte code messages.
The protests were filed yesterday
on the grounds that the regulations
prevented the Axis diplomats from
carrying out their normal duties.
DR.. Ruiz Guinazu said he would
submit the protests to President
Castillo, but disclosed that he had
told the diplomats the situation had
been carefully investigated before
the decree was issued and there was
little chance Of 1t being revoked.
Argentina is the only American
country where the Axis powers now
hold any communication facilities,
all the others having broken rela-
tions with them save Chile, where
private companies have refused to
transmit diplomatic messages to
Germany, Italy or Japan.
