SAILOR'S ORAL CONTRACT NIL Captain Can Discharge Him Unless Ship's Papers Are Signed. SEATTLE. "Wash., Feb. 17. (Special.) Unless a seaman sign articles he may, according to a decision handed down by Federal Judge Hanford today, resign when he sees fit or can be discharged at the will of the captain. The ruling was made in the case of Andrew Thompson against the schooner Oakland. Thomp son last Summer shipped on the Oak land as first officer, without signing the ship's papers or without any written contract. He had an oral contract, he says, that he would continue In the serv ice of the vessel until Seattle was reached, but the master discharged him at Nome, after the vessel had orulsed northern waters for 47 days. Judge Hanford holds that when no pa pers are signed a captain can discharge a man at any time, and a seaman, un der the same law, can leave at any time without loss to his pay account. Judge Hanford, in his decision, allows Thomp son a salary of f 125 per month for 47 days. SEATTLE FAIR FUND SAFE Courts X'phold Validity of Iak Shoi'e Appraisements. SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 17.

MUST ACCOUNT FOR $5000 Peculations of Willamette's Once Honored Citizen Uncovered Daily. Friends Still Willing to Ex tend Help in His Trouble. OREGON CITY, Or., Feb.. 17. (Special.) Each succeeding day brings with it de velopments of additional peculations of Otto F. Olson, self-confessed embezzler and defaulter to the extent of more than $5000. The discovery of how Olson obtained money, from what sources he endeavored to replenish his depleted pocketbook, the manner in which he worked his friends is amazing and every fresh disclosure startles the people who for years reposed the utmost confidence in the clerk of the Willamette sohool district and the electri cal superintendent of the power station of the Portland General Electric Com pany. Olson not only stole funds from the school district of which he was a trusted officer for 12 years, but lie perpetrated numerous forgeries, and some of them are just coming to light. Taking every ad vantage of his reputation for honor and Integrity he procured money from his closest friends, and several well known law firms are losers by his methods. Ol son's handiness with the pen was not dreamed of until after his arrest, and It now appears that he even stole from the Methodist Episcopal Church, acting as financial agent for that body and having complete control of the funds. Steals From the Church. He is believed to have collected the rents for the church property during the last eight months, and appropriated the money to his own use, and it is stated that he borrowed J350 from I H. Feaster, representing that the money was to be used for the church, and calmly forged the names of the trustees to the note. He obtained J100 from E. A. Leighton. giv ing his note signed by himself and the name of his wife, forging the latter. He procured, through a broker, several hundred dollars from H. C. Stevens, and the name of Rudolph Koerner is attached to the note as surety, and it is also stated that Mr. Koerner's signature is a rank ' forgery. Olson apparently used the names of his friends freely, but the genuine ness of the signatures was not suspected because of his own high standing in the community. He Is accused of forging the name of the chairman of the school board of Willamette to school warrants and bis cleverness even fooled the local bank of ficials Friends Will Help Him. Olson is still in Jail, but it Is stated that he will be able to furnish bail to morrow. Bail has been fixed at $6000 and it is stated that friends wui come to the rescue of the Imprisoned man and try to provide a way whereby he will escape punishment by making good the entire amount of his thefts. Even with the notorious facts about Ol son's criminal acts that are now being dragged to light, there is no disposition on the part of the prosecution to make it any harder for Olson's family than their present position, and while the. District Attorney's office will make no statement for publication, it is understood that If Olson's friends satisfy every claim, that the state will not push the case against the unfortunate anan, whose abnormal craze for mining speculation has placed 4, OLSON NUM ROUS FKOM ROSKBtKti, COTTAGE CROT:.
