HAMILTON STILL
WAITS FOR BAIL
Must Go to Jail Unless $10,000
Is Furnished Today, Says
Sheriff Gaston.
BROTHER IS COUNTED ON
Mayor Hamilton, or Coctir efWlcne,
Expected to Supply Bond Money.
Xo More Vouchers to Be Signed
. With Rubber Stamps.
OIWMPIA. Wash.. May 6. (Special.)
Otis Hamilton. ex-Adjutant-Oerural of
thi State Guard, under arrest for em
bezzlement, still waits for bail money.
Although much "complaint has been
made about Hamilton being kept at the
Hotel Mitchell instead of In jail. Sheriff
Gaston says that the matter rests with
him. However, he has notified Hamilton's
. attorney that unless the J10.0O0 hall Is
; furnished? by tomorrow evening, the
prisoner will no to jail.
It is understood that Boyd Hamilton,
Mayor of Coeur d'Alene. brother of Ortis
Hamilton, will furnish the $10.0110 bond in
the morning. The bonding company that
was on Hamilton's bond has been notified
of the predicament that faces Hamilton.
Records show that while In office Ham
ilton had T7.933 paid to him. Attorney
General Bell declares that the shortage
will reach S33.O00; Adjutant-General
.Oeorge B. Lamping, who cxperted the
books, says that $30,000 will cover the pecu
lations, while Hamilton told Governor
Hay that J5onf would more than make up
the deficiency.
As a result of the arrest of Ortis Ham
ilton on a charge of embezzlement, no
longer will Governor Hay use a rubber
stamp in signing vouchers. Attorney
General Bell has given an opinion that
in the future the Governor must read
and sign all vouchers, and that he cannot
delegate the work to his secretary, who
will affix his name with a rubber stamp.

fair. Mrs. Moore has a S-year-o!d daugh
ter, upon whom she lavishes unfeigned
. affection.
"Hamilton told me that he had secured
a divorce," she said .today, "so why
shouldn't I accept his attentions. But I
will say that I have not reciprocated af
' fectlons from any man who has bestowed
them upon me. T am accused of being
' a heartbreaker. Well, perhaps I am; but
T cannot help being admired, or even
loved. You may say, however, that to
. day there is no man who truthfully can
say I reciprocated his love. Nor have
1 announced my engagement to any
man."
Mrs. Moore this morning denied that
' she Is preparing to leave Seattle Friday,
but. said possibly she might leave in the
course jot a week or ten days for a visit
to her old home in the East. 9he de
clined to say just what is meant by the
. "Bast."
"Why should I dra;? my parents into
this notoriety?" she asked. "Where they
reside is no one's business. Who I am
i no one's business. Let these people
who have started this thing find out if
they can. I know, and at the proper
time they to their sorrow will also
know."

ing materials and three small barns near
the mill were-consumed. .
A high wind blew and for a while the

residence owned by S. M. Brown with its
contents, and the large livery barn of
