ftce for almost a month, and for a
long time it was not known where he
was.
"I mlprht have been more careful, but I
depended upon the Governor to look over
the . general bills." said State Auditor
Clausen tonight.
"On several occasions I noticed that
the expenditures for cartridges were
heavy, but I remembered the newspaper
talk about -the Japanese war scare, and
I thought that the state was stocking up
with ammunition. If I thought of the
matter again It was that the bills were
none of my business. Hamilton was
bonded."
"I examined into the merits of all
bills and' put the responsibility of the
1-44 voucher directly up to the mem
bers of the Capitol Building Commis
sion. "This voucher called for colored can
dles, punch, homemade cake, broken
wine glasses and dishes, cold chicken,
lco cream and celery, as proper ele
ments to enter Into the construction of
an oxecutlve mansion, especially of a
mansion which the law provides shall
he of stone or other permanent ma
terial.' These facts developed Satur
day when examination was made of
the vouchers on file at the Auditor's
office asainst the appropriation two
years ago of (35.000 for 'the construc
tion and completion of a Governor's
residence and furnishings of the same,
and all expenses Incident thereto."
The commission In charge of this
construction consisted of Governor
Mead. Treasurer Mills and Auditor
Clausen. Although the law distinctly
provided for a building of stone or
other permanent material, the bulk of
the appropriation was expended by the
commission for a frame building with
very common brick veneer, not even
pressed brick being used In the con
struction. Stone Is used about the
basement and first floor and the bulld
lrg lr unique from the fact that the
window copings are of white marble,
which made a pleasing contrast with
fie pcor quality of common brick of the
outer walls.
The building was put up under con
tract by Matthew Dow, of Seattle.
There was not enough money left to
furnish It. and for that purpose the
r.ext new Legislature mads an ap
propriation, jet to be expended.

!' ct of his office. On taking office he
rfr-J over Flerce's coJe to Inquire Into
te nature of his duties, although Bal-l'r.-s.-'s
code is the official codification of
the laws of Washington.
In some manner Mr. Clausen does not
r.rw remember how he overlooked the
clause which states that the Auditor, with
the Governor and Adjutant-General, shall
fnvm the military board Of the state.
"V hen the flrpt bill from the Auditor's

offers and approved the bill when he
found that his predecessor had approved
bMls stamped with the Governor's signa
ture.. There have been rumors afloat here
for several days that when the Investi
gating committee has finished with the
ftchlvely case there may still be a special
session of the Legtslature called for the
purpose of giving greater power to the
Investigating committee, and to provide
further funds for Its use. Of the amount
appropriated for Its use there Is a bare
possibility that the investigating com
mittee may find itself without the nec
essary wherewith to complete Its work.
Schlvely to Resign, It Is Said.
The Post-Intelllgencer prints an Olym
pia special today. In which the flat state
ment Is made that Insurance Commission
er Schlvely will resign, notwithstanding
his denial given out last Saturday.
According to this correspondent,
Schlvely has already announced that he
would resign were It not for the fear
that his bondsmen, if be resigned, would
surrender him into custody at Spokane,
and that he would go to Jail. It Is quite
as much because of the effect on the
public mind, were he Jailed,' as the fear
of actual Imprisonment, that has deterred
lilm so far from taking the step that
would retire him to private life. But he
certainly will resign, and. having so de
termined, he Is flouting the legislative
investigators.
Schlvely during the past week has been
making desperate efforts to secure other
bondsmen to Join with his friends of the
Royal Arch, the liquor men's organiza
tion, on the new bond. It is the Royal
Arch that has been Schlvely' chief sup
port, not only in this time of trouble, but
during his campaign for the nomination
last September and for election In No
vember. The Knights of the Royal Arch
during the direct primary campaign of
Inst year were remarkably active In poll
tics, but they devoted their chief atten
tion and used their most strenuous ef
forts to secure the nomination of Schlve
ly. Hence when Schlvely was arrested at
olympla on April 22, on an indictment
for embeislement rendered by the Spo
kne grand Jury, he turned to the Royal
Arch Immediately on his arrival in Spo
kane for the J10.000 bail bond required.
Saloon Men on Bond.
Nine bondsmen were secured. Five of
them are saloon men. Here is the list
and the sums in which the sureties are
qualified :
Harry Green, saloonkeeper, racehorse
owner, former gambler, $2000.
Thomas H. Rafter, saloonkeeper, $1600.
J. H. Wllmot, saloonkeeper. $2000.
Henry Horstman, saloonkeeper, $1000."
A. I. Mars, saloonkeeper and president
of the Royal Arch. $1000.
C. F. Barth. cigarmaker. $2500.
W. S. Yearsiey, real estate dealer, $1000.

MANILA, May 10. An unusual man
bunt is In progress in the Sulu Islands,
a volcanic group In the Eastern Archi
pelago; near the second largest of the
Philllpines-Mindanao. For several
months a Moro bandit named Jlklri,
with a considerable following, has been
on a rampage and the Insular Govern
ment Is making every effort to run him
down.
The Navy recently lent to the au
thorities a squadron of gunboats to
search the numerous small Islands of
the group and now another vessel Is to
be added to assist In the strange chase.
Several land detachments have been
sent out and General Duvall, who has
gone south to inspect Mindanao may
take a hand In directing operations.
Jlkirl raided the rich pearl fisheries
and later murdered two white trad
ers. His band also attacked the Con
stabulary and a number of settlements
Inhabited by peaceful natives and a
sprinkling of whites.

Deference Over Payne Bill Caused
Ten Members to Bolt, but
Their Pay Went On.
MANILA. May 10. A unique legis
lative Incident was terminated today
by the return to the Philippine Assem
bly of ten members of the Progress
State Minority who had been in strike
for a month. They withdrew irom me
House in a body when the Payne tar
iff bill was under discussion, several
weeks, ago, and refused to attend the
sessions or perform any legislative
work. The majority still had a quorum
and continued to hold daily sessions,
but did not take up any Important
1 measures. The majority at first pur
posed to discipline the ten strikers
rigorously, but upon the advice of some
of the cooler tempered leaders, who
feared the political effect of such a
move, they opened private negotia
tions and induced the bolters to re
turn. The original quarrel arose through
an effort of the minority to secure a
recommittal of the minority report on
the Payne bill after the Assembly had
disposed adversely of the Question.
.After the dissatisfied solons left the
hall, objections were raised In some
quarters to their receiving their sal
aries while absent, but Auditor Clarke
ruled they were entitled to pay, even
though they did not attend the ses
sions. i

RENO, Nev., May . A masked man
entered the Hammontree livery stable
early this morning and commanded A.

up against the wall. He searched them
and took $S5 in cash and a gold watch.
Before the search was completed Jack
Monroe came from the back part of the
Btable leading a horse. The robber
wheeled upon Monroe and shot him In

his victims not to follow, sauntered
leisurely down the street and disappeared
in the darkness. Monroe is in a pre

BRIGHT'S DISEASE
Let there be no evasion we mean chronic
and supposed Incurable cases Involving
dropsy, albumen and casts. They are cur
able In a ereat majority of all cases.
Let us cite a typical case that of Mr.
R. W. Nltsckke. of l;!46 Spnlght street,
Madison. Wis. There had been elffht phy
sicians on this case and it got so extreme
that he finally had one of the last symp
toms; namely, fail Ins; eyeslg-ht. In January,
litOV, the doctors admitted that nothing; fur
ther could be done, and they sent him to
Eureka Springs. Arkansas. He continued 10
aret worse, tho dropsy finally reaching the
stomach, he,art and lungs. At one time tests
showed albumen as high as 75 per cent.
He learned of Fulton's Renal Compound
and began to take it July 3d. Dropsy be
gan - slowly to decline and the albumen
dropped to 40, then to 20, then to ten. and
finally to two per cent, in May. 108.
The patient is now back to his employ
ment and Is devoting full time to his busi
ness. Patients desiring to know more of this
treatment can get full literrture by writ
ing to the John J. Fulton Company, San
