Insurance Commissioner, either by Im
peachment or abolishment of the office.
the continuation of the investigation and
mo probing of all offices, departments
"n1 institutions in which suspicion has
boen directed, Governor Hay presented
the report of the legislative investigating
committee to the special session of the
legislature this afternoon. The message
was read before the joint assemblage at
t o'clock, and refers only to the office
of Insurance Commissioner, although the
committee report takes up several other
departments.
Report Calls Sehively Tnfit.
Message and report alike contain a se
vere indictment of the insurance depart
ment and charge that Sehively is wholly
unfit to be the head thereof. The com
mittee report Is devoted principally but
not wholly to the insurance matter. Its
condemnation Is directed at the actions
of faam H. Nichols, who resigned as
.Secretary of State while under fire In
May and at Sehively. who was Nichols'
deputy In charge of Insurance matters
tor eight years, when the insurance de
partment was an adjunct of the Secretary
of State's office.
Sehively is now insurance commis
sioner the office having been made elec
tive by a law passed in 1907.
Charges Thousands Pocketed.
Summarized, the report of the commit
tee Is that Sehively and Nichols have
been charging Insurance companies for
admission to do business in this state
and for examination of their securities
from fcO to J200 each in excess of the
statutory fees, this additional charge. In
the majority of instances, having ex
ceeded their expenses, and that the ex
cess was pocketed by them. The commit
tee charges that In Ave years about J5000
has been collected and retained for ex
aminations never made.
It Is also charged that Sehively has
been charging an unlawful fee of i3 for
?hnfhdSJcertlflcate ot Publication to
the published annual reports of insurance
companies and retaining the fees for his
own use.
The committee does not attempt to esti
mate the total amounts collected by these
methods, not having found any record of
them, but says the sum, Is "several
thousand dollars. -
Nichols la Dismissed.
The report aismisses Nichols from con
sideration with the statement that after
his resignation from office the commit
tee did not pursue its investigations of
his conduct further.
..Cw',vely'B cr,ndut Is characterized as
highly reprehensible." In that he ac
cepted salary and commissions amount
ing to J2600 for acting as president of the
Pacific livestock Association of Spokane
and at the same time acted as Deputy
Insurance Commissioner and received a
regular salary from the state. He is con
demned also for collecting 300 as Insur
ance Commissioner for examining his own
company and is further charged with hav
ing failed to make the annual lnvestiga
law dom6stl0 companies as required by
In concluding, the committee arraigns
Sehively as follows:
How Sehively Is Arraigned.
Vi Jssed and revoked licenses, and
conducted and managed the entirS de
partment; that his wrongful, arbitrary
and unwarranted conduct, as set forth
in the above findings, was not only highly
reprehensible, but extremely Injurious to
the interests of the Insuring public in
this state; that his gross neglect of of
ficial dutie has caused insolvent, irre
sponsible and fraudulent companies to
flourish and prosper for a time; that his
rallure to perform the duties imposed
upon him by the Insurance laws shows
him to be Incompetent and Inefficient, and
has brought the Insurance department of
the State of Washington into great dis
repute both in this state and abroad: and
that his practices in wrongfullv collect
.nir excessive fees and retaining them
hrands him as a corrupt and unworthy
public official."
Board of Control Censured.
' Th committee censures the Board of
Control for accepting the new building
at the Eastern Washington Hospital for
the Insane and paying the full contract
price therefor. Although pointing out
n?y.v. 'V- the committee concludes
that the building Is safe.
The State Fair Commissioner Is mildly
censured for not' maintaining a better
system of accounts and for maintaining
R..:. 'xPnslv management for an in
stitution of that magnitude.
Several Offices Untouched.

and money at its disposal did not permit

platform, and said:
Meigs Quickly Sworn In.

Bishop of Jefferson declared the
House was not organized, and said he
had heard of such tricks being plaved
in party caucuses, but never supposed
a member of the Legislature would do
such a thing.
An attempt to cut off the discussion
was made when Meigs announced that
resolution had been presented. Tviren
Grinstead, Chief Clerk, read a reso
lution providing for the appointment
of a committee to notify the Senate
the House was ready for business, giving-
Taylor of King as the author.
Taylor, who was for Slayden, prompt
ly withdrew the resolution, but F. C.
Jackson leaped into the breach and Im
mediately presented It as his own. Then
member after member, who favored
Slayden. speaking on the resolution,
condemned the seizure of the chair
by Meigs and argued that the House
was not legally organized.
Palmer Interrogated Meigs from the
floor, first addressing him as "Mr.
Speaker," and then correcting the title
to "Mr. Chairman."
"If you hold that you are speaker of
this body without an election, why did
you take the oath, of office?" demanded
Palmer.
"So that there would be no Question,"
replied Meigs.
"If you-don't want any question about
it, why didn't you be elected?" returned
Palmer, but Meigs declined to reply.
. . Slayden Forces Switch.
Edge of Spokane, replying to state
ments made by Beach concerning the
Democratic caucus, declared the Demo
crats would support a party candidate
but practically all had decided to vote
for Meigs. Edge, who had been for
Meigs, protested against his ' assumption
of the chair without a vote. His remarks
disclosed to the House that Meigs could
have been elected If the latter had gone
to a vote, and the Slayden forces start
ed a movement to switch to J. R. Burke
of Wahkiakum County.
With the Slayden members scurrying
back and forth between desks, Sims
started a new row by presenting a writ
ten protest which read:
"I object to any further proceedings in
this House of Representatives because
I have been deprived of rily constitutional
rights to voice my vote for Speaker by a
self-appointed speaker or chairman."
Meigs promptly ruled the objection

Committee Beoommends Special Session.
At a meeting held In Seattle on June 2.
your committee made a verbal report to the
ir1?0' '"form"K him of the conditions
nmff f nund. e?iat"e h some of our state
onices and of the recommendation the wrlt

Ut7 of 'aihns your honorable body

acting upon Its report.

' fav:?J' Prejudice, their recommenda
Jh.n w.e,8rJ1.ed, stronBly -w'th me. Added to
.'. diBclures resultirg from their In
vestigation revealed the existence of con
ditions in certain public offices so inimical
to the welfare of the state, that I deemed
an occasion had arisen that demanded the
immediate attention of your honorable body.
According, I issued a proclamation on June
3. calling upon you to convene in extra
ordinary session on this day to consider and
act upon the report and recommendations of
your committee, which I transmit herewith.
The findings of that committee bring to
light conditions repugnant to the best in
terests of the state, conditions that cannot
longer be tolerated. .They contain a serious
indictment against the present Insurance
Commissioner of this state and the former
Secretary of State. The evidence cited in
these findings develops the fact that these
officials were recreant to their duty, be
trayed the trust placed In them and violated
every consideration of honor and publle
obligation that should have regulated their
conduct.
Sohively Must be Removed.
Because of these revelations, one of these
officials has resigned his office and the
evidence that has been gathered brands the
other as unfit to continue in a position of
responsibility. There ls no denial of the
moral obliquity on the part of the accused
official merely the specious plea that the
letter of the law has not been violated.
In the face ot the evidence adduced and
the admission of the charges made, one
course only appears open to the Legislature
which ls, the removal from office of the
delinquent officer. There are two methods
open to you by which this official may be
removed :
1. By impeachment proceedings.
2. By abolishing the office.
The power of Impeachment, which Is
solely vested n the House of Representa
tives, Is an extremely grave and serious
responsibility, not lightly to be exercised
or heedlessly- Invoked. But. when an oc
casion necessitating such proceeding arises,
it should be met with firmness, the interests
of the Individual should be submerged in
the Interests of the community and deaf
ears turned to the sophistry of the' cor
rupt. Such procedure has better application
to a case where there are disputed ques
tions of fact as to the guilt or Innocence of
the officer charged. The other method can
be properly applied where the guilt is con
fessed as in this case.
I recommend that you pursue one or the
other of the above methods as you see nt
and deem most advantageous.
The fair name of the State of "Washington
depends upon your action, for. aa ex-Presl-der.t
Roosevelt so truthfully said, "the ex
posure of corruption ls an honor to a nation,
not a disgrace. The shame lies in toleration,
not in correction. No cRy or state, much
less the nation, can be injured by the en
forcement of the law. ... If we fail
to do all that in us lies to stamp out cor
ruption, we cannot escape our share of the
responsibility for the guilt. The first
requisite of successful self-government is un
flinching enforcement of the law and the
cutting out of corruption."
Honor of State at Stake.
That old saying that "public office ls a
public trust" is Just as true now as when
first uttered, and the official who betrays
that trust is a greater menace to society
than the highwayman or the murderer A
public official who ls so lacking in princi
ple, whose sense of public duty is so dulled
that he sees no Impropriety In levying a
tax or assessment which is little short of
blackmail upon those who are compelled
to transact business with him officially
Outrages every sense of right and morality
In the case before you for consideration
the course for your honorable body to pur
sue is as well defined as black from white
There ls no complication to cloud the riarht
or conceal the wrong. The facts are be
fore you. They have been gathered by a
committee of your own creating, a com
mittee composed of those who favored and
those who opposed this investigation and
the report of that committee Is the -unanimous
verdict of Its members. This case is
one which In its gravity rises above the
considerations of personal malice or nartv
faction. The question of motive sinks to
insignificance in the presence of the revela
tions resulting from this Investigation The
Integrity of the Republican party, the" honor
of the state and the interests of the peorle
are at stake. The responsibility of preserv
ing the party, protecting the state and safe
guarding the people rests with you. He who
would counsel you to disregard the charees
presented in the findings of your committee
Is not only an enemy to the Republican party

ROBBERS HEADED SOUTH

VANCOUVER. B. C, June 23. That
the six robbers who held up the Cana
dian Pacific train early yesterday morn
Ins; east of Kamloops did not cross
Shuswap Lake to the north, but turned
south toward the American boundary
is the theory of the police.' Half a
dozen horses were stolen from ranches
in the neighborhood and toward the
south, and it is regarded now as a cer
tainty that the men made their first
attempt by boat, headed for the north
simply as a bluff to confuse the chase'
No matter how rapidly they traveled
the holdup rrifrn could hardly reach the
Washington boundary line before tonight-
If they are not caught before
tomorrow night the chances of getting
them in British Columbia are regarded
as slim. Indian hunters who know the
country perfectly are now out endea
voring to track the robbers. That they
were looking for a shipment of cash
being sent from the East to a Vancou
ver bank is the belief of railway offi
clals.
