The arrest and imprisonment al
Seattle, Wash., of Ortis Hamilton,
former adjutant general of the StaU
of Washington, self-confessed em
bezzler of $33,000 of the state's
funds, recalls to mind the escapades
of one of his numerous "affinities"
In Roseburg in March, 1907, when
she was frustrated in an attempt to
gain possession of Llllie Emerson, the
8-year-old daughter of a dlBsolute
woman living In the Hamilton Addi
tion. This "affinity," a daughter of
a resident of Days Creek, this county,
her given name Nora, passed hersell
off In this city as Hamilton's wife.
During her stay In Roseburg
which, was brief, the woman made
people sit up and take notice. En
route to visit her father at Days
Creek she chartered a Pullman car
from Roseburg to Riddle. After re
turning here she ran out of money
but she was a resourceful creature.
She pawned an elegant diamond, first
to a local Jeweler, then to a local cap-
fVallst and with the latter she alsc
closed a deal for a house and lot foi
her brother and his wife, but nevei
got any further than the payment of
one Installment. To furnish tbe
house she bought a lot of goods from
a local furniture firm, but never paid
the bill. She made a lot of other pur
chases about town for which payment
. Is still due and likely to remain due
until Gabriel sounds his horn. She
exhibited letters from Ortis Hamil
ton and is known to have received a
postal money order from him.
Proves Poor Former.
"Mrs. Hamilton" gained the con
sent of Mrs. Ella Emerson to the
adoption of her little daughter, Lll
lie,. and a petition to that effect was
presented to County Judge Wonacott.
Under the Oregon law, however, the
order of adoption could not be issued
until a request for the child was
made by Hamilton, as well as his
"wife." The woman then hastened
to Portland to get her "husband's"
signature, aB she declared, to the pe
tition. When she returned Hamil
ton's name was on the document, but
the handwriting was so near like that
of the woman that Judge Wonacott
at once suspected forgery. This sus
picion, coupled with the woman's
"high-roller" existence In the city,
caused him to decline to Issue an or
der of adoption, and he committed
the girl to the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society, of Portland, instead,' along
with her two little brothers. This
committment probably saved the
child from an Immoral career.
"Hamilton Mtt-vt lie O. K."
During the proposed adoption pro
ceedings before Judge Woiracott, in
quiry as to Ortis Hamilton's respons
ibility was directed to Tacoma and an
answer came back from C. R. Hadley,
proprietor of the Hotel Mason in that
city. In his letter, Hadley said that
Hamilton and his wife stayed at his
hotel a great deal. "The governor is
a personal friend of mine of long ac
quaintance," wrote Hadley, "and I
am confident Hamilton could not hold
the position1 he does if he was not
O. K."
"Proud of Thetr 1'ri.Miilslilp."
A. W. Ryan, of the police depart
ment of Seattle, wrote in regard to
the social, moral and financial stand
ing of Ortis Hamilton and his wife:
"The fact that Hamilton Is on the
governor's staff is a guarantee of
their social standing," wrote the gul
lible officer. "They are admitted to
the best homes In the city, which Is
APPLES the reddest,
STRAWBERRIES the earliest,
Best soil at lowest prices. Come
and see. DO IT NOW.

a guarantee of their moral standing.
The general report Is that they are
well situated financially. . Personally.
1 can voucb for botn of them, and I
am proud to know each of them as
my friends,"
Not Same Woman.
Dispatches from Seattle say thai
Hamilton's wife left him several
weeks ago. The woman referred v Is
not the one who visited Roseburg.
She Is the daughter of a wealthy
farmer of Palouse named Savage.
Neither Is she the woman referred
to as "Hazel Moore," 011 whom Ham
ilton lavished the greater part of the
stolen money. .She Is probably In
Victoria, B. C, at the present, as she
Is known to have gone there from
Portland.
"Mis. N. Hamilton'" Escapades.
The Portland Journal of Mav C
gives the following account of "Mrs.
Nora Hamilton's" escapades in that
city:
Another "Mrs. N. Hamilton," mys
terious woman of many adventures
and much notoriety has brought the
Ortis Hamilton scandal to Portland
with the history of her exploits here
and her close affiliation with Ham
ilton who used to visit her 'here al
more or less frequent Intervals. This
woman was well known to the hotel
proprietors of the city for a long per
iod of time, beginning about the time
of the Lewis and Clark exposition,
and ending during the last of 1907.
During that period of time she was
exposed as an adventuress, driven
from one or more of the hotels and at
last fled from the city to escape arrest
on numerous charges-of fraud and
debt brought against her. Followed
Into British Columbia by creditors
from Portland she caused the report
to be circulated that she wns dead,
thus ending for the time being at
least, the pursuit.
The woman Is well remembered by
employes or the Imperial Hotel
where she stayed on many different
occasions, as being a woman of at-,
tentlon-attractlng appearance. But
these employes say that she was not
the "Mrs. Hazel Moore" new at the
llutler Annex in Seattle. She.appenr
ed at the hotel about the time of the
exposition, or a little before, regis
tered at the hotel as "Mrs. N. Hamil
ton," and said that she was the wife
of Ortis Hamilton. One particular
visit noted by the hotol, and appear
ing on the records, of the hostelry,
was on July 4, 1907, when Hamilton
visited his supposed wife at the hotel
Too Many Visitors.
It began to be noticed, however, by
the hotel management that "Mrs.
Hamilton" had too many male frietuU
and she was placed on the suspicious
list. Time after time she wns he
3elged by creditors, men who had sold
her diamonds, gowns and other mate
rials, but on these occasions would
extricate herself from difficulty by
producing, after an Interval, drafts
and checks for large amounts, signed
in many Instances by Ortis Hamilton
The test record of the woman at
the Imperial was on December 14.
1907, at which time she attempted to
cash a check for a large sum at the
hotel, but was refused and asked to
leave the plnce. " She then went to
another large hotel and afterwards
left the city.
During this time, as It afterwards
appeared, the woman had fitted up a
large establishment near Arlota. She
purchased the furniture and fittings
for this place from local merchants
and when she fled from the town
these men began to search for her.
At last she had the report circulated
from Vancouver, B. C, that she had
died at that place. Since that time
she "has not again appeared.
Not Mrs. Moore. '
This woman, however, Is not the
"Mrs. Hazel Moore," the more recent
affinity of the Washington adjutant
general. Hotel men of the city who
had seen the picture of the present
woman In the case are unanimous In
their statements that the woman with
whom they had dealings was another
individual. It Is certain, however,
that the Mrs. N. Hamilton, as she
called herself, was one of the affini
ties of the adjutant general, and that
she was often In his company.
It is Bald that she had a brother
and sister living In Portland who
often visited her at the hotU. What
her real name was, however. Is un
known, and it was not until after
her flight from the city that the dis
covery was made that she was not
the wife of Ortis Hamilton.

ROOSEVELT DISCUSSES
THK JAP. SITUATION
NEW YOltK, May 8. In the cur
rent number of the Outlook today an
editorial by Colonel Roosevelt, In
part follows:
"There are certain elementary
principles all of which should be kept
In view If a nation wishes to act Just
ly both by Itself and others. It must
Insist upon what is necessary for its
own healthy life, thin even at the
cost of a possible clash, but this in
sistence upon what is due Itself
should always be accompanied by all
possible courtesy to and fair dealing
with others. These are the principles
upon which tho people of the United
States should act with regards to the
question of immigration of Japanese
into this country. The Japanese are
a highly civilized people, of extraor
dinary unitary, artistic and indus
trial development. They are proud,
warlike and sensitive. 1 believe our
people have what 1 personally certain
ly have, a profound and hearty ad
miration for them. But this admira
tion and respect is accompanied by
the firm conviction thnt it isn't to
the advantage of either people that
emigrants from either country should
settle lu a mass In the other country.
Japan would certainly object to In
coming masses of American farmers,
laborers and small traders. Indeed,
the Japanese would object to this at
least us strongly as the men of the
Pacific coast and Rocky Mountains
object to the Incoming mass of Jap
anese workmen, agriculturists, labor
era and men engaged in small trades.
The Japanese certnlnly object to Am
ericans acquiring land in Japan, at
least as much as Americans in far
western states object to Japanese ac
quiring land 011 our soil. Americans
who go to Japan, and Japanese who
come to America, should be of the
same general class; that is, they
should bo travelers, students, teach
ers, scientific investigators, men en
gaged in international business, and
men sojourning in a land for pleas
ure or study. It Ib against the Inter
ests of both mitions that such unre
stricted emigration or settlement in
mass should be allowed as regards to
either nntlon. This '1b the cardinal
fact in the situation and it should be
recognized by both countries. But
in achieving this policy we should
bear steadily In mind It is our duty
to combine maximum efficiency with
minimum offensiveness. Only a na
tional government can enrry out Buch
a policy effectively and the surest
way to do harm Is for state, muni
cipal or other local government to
pass laws which would he Ineffective
to obtain the real object, yet would
produce Intenso Irritation.
The best of all possible Vi'nya In
which to achieve this object Is that
which the governments of the two
countries have now by common agree
ment adopted; tor tho Japanese gov
ernment has of Its own Initiative and
own nccora unuerinKeu 10 pievem
tho coming hither of any appreciable
number of Japanese of the classes to
which I referred.
The success of the policy must be
gauged by the actual results; that Is,
by tho extent to which It arrestB the
Immigration of large bodies of Jap
anese. If the Japanese government
proves unablo to . carry Its policy
through, then undoubtedly this gov
ernment by treaty or"leglslatlon must
protect Itself and secure the desired
result on its own Initiative, but In
such case it would be doubly Incum
bent upon us to take action that
would provoke the least possible fric
tion and cause tho least possible hard
feeling.
The fact that, all really patriotic,
far-sighted Americans Insist that
hand In hand with the policy of good
will toward foreign nations should go
the policy of upbuilding our navy.
Is often Interpreted by well meaning
but short-sighted men as being a
threat toward oilier nations or as
being provocative of war. Of the two
assumptions the first Is "utterly un
warranted, the second Is the direct
reverse of the truth. We ha.e the
right to say, for Instance, what Immi
grants shall come to our shores, but
we are powerless to enforce this
riyht against any nation that chooses
to disregard our wishes unless vie
continue to build and maintain si first
class fighting navj: We Americans
are ourselves proud, and high spirited
and we s.re not always by any means
far-sighted. If our honor or Inter
ests were menaced by a foreign pow
er this nation vould Htht wholly
without regard to whether or not Its
own w-S etiicient. In the event of a
crl'A-) rising pe Sdvorates uo
object to our building up is navy
would be absolutely powerless to pre
vent this country from going to war.
A strong navy Ir the surest guarantee
or peace ttr.it America can have and
the cheapest Insurance against war
that Uncle Sam ca3 possibly buy.

Thisjs a nev preparation and a
good one. It Is especially valuable
as a cure for chronic and muscular

used It have invariably spoken of It
In the highest terms of praise. Lame

are due to rheumatism of the mus

to cold or damp, and are quickly cur

and massaging the affected parts.

Wilson tins won the first round In
his fight with Secretary llallluger, of
tho interior, to uphold Roosevelt s
conservation policies. At its meeting
yesterday the cabinet, after hearing
the statements of both disputants,
upheld Wilson's contention that the
withdrawal of public lauds by Roose
velt were legal and proper. Balllng
er contonded they were Illegal. He
Btated at the meeting thnt he favored
conservation along the right lino, but
he believed this could not be accom
plished In the manner begun by Sec
retary Garlleld under Roosevelt's ad
ministration. Balllngor argued that
lands should not be withdrawn until
they are examined, and that most of
the land now Included In the reserves
should be restored to entry If they

Suspicion waa soon directed to

and examined nnd priced a number

coupled with the fact that bo many
