MORE TESTIMONY HEARD (Continued from first page.) ager of the company's Pacific Coast de partment, was also submitted. Then taking up article 4. the state pre sented a deposition from George Graham, Jr.. of Denver, an official of the Capital Life Insurance Company, alleging that in February, 1907. this company paid Schively Z1d, of which 20 was for "veri fication of report." Mr. Graham made affidavit that Schively did not make an examination of the company's assets. Schlvely's receipts for the money and a letter demanding the payment were ex hibited in evidence. J. S. Lichty, treasurer of the -Farmers' Mutual Livestock Insurance Company of Spokane, was the first witness called to the stand. Mr. Lichty said that the only times Schively came to their offices was to collect $100 and $150 to pprmit the com pany to continue doing business. The witness swore that Schively never pre sented any detailed statement of expenses and was in the office the first time about one-half hour. Mr. Lichty estimated the expenses of Schively's trip to Spokane from Olympia at $30. "On October 9. lftos." testified Mr. Lich ty, "Schively and fcV. E. Liggett. Insur ance Commissioner for Idaho, came to the office and received $: for an ex amination' that never took place. Schive ly." said Mr. Lichty. "requested that the check be made out to Liggett, saying that it would be divided equally. They were in the office about 16 minutes," said the witness. Israel Wants Verification. On crrs-examination Schively's coun sel brought out that this company is now in the hands of a receiver. Mr. Lichty was asked if there was not a stenog rapher present during the Interviews, and if entries were not made in the company's) books in a woman's handwriting. Mr. Lichty replied in lha negative, and Mr. Ivrael asked for a subpena for Charles, St. Morris, and an order for the com pany's policy records and cash books, for the purpose of testing the credibility of witness Lichty. The charge of extorting each for two perfunctory examinations of the Walla Walla Fire Insurance Company was supported by the evidence of O. G. Par ker, treasurer,' and Dorsey M. Hill, re ceiver of the company. Mr. Parker testi fied that Schively on April IS. 1907. spent about three hoirs on the company's books and charged $3W for it. and that on July of the same year he made another ex amination and received an additional for neither of which examinations detailed statement of expenses were sub mitted. Receiver Hill exhlblvd check book stubs and caehbook entries showing the payment of the money. He estimated that S'i would be ample to cover the ex penses of each trip to Walla Walla from Olympia. It is expected that the state will take up the Spokane perjury charge tomorrow, which Is one of two dealing with alleged misconduct committed since Schively be came a state officer. The testimony to day dealt with his conduct as a deputy. It Is expected that later on in the trial Schively's counsel will raise the point that a state officer cannot be impeached for acts committed while a deputy. The respondent will also vigorously combat any attempt by the impeachment man agers to bring In amended articles to take the place of those withdrawn. The House will be asked probably tomorrow to adopt amended articles, but whether they will be presented before the Impeachment court is a matter for future consideration. The Senators who were absent on roll call this morning were nearly all mem bers who were here Saturday night. Eight of the 11 absentees of Saturday hastened back to the city Sunday night, when they learned the effect of their absence, but there were still 11 absent this morning. Members who remained here were not sparing in their condemnation of the new set of absentees, and took action by adopting a resolution offered by Piper of King, declaring absence without leave contemDt of the imDeachment court, and 1 punishable by a fine of from 5 to 125.

Man Aged 21 and Girl Aged 13 Taken by Portland Police After Romantic Elopement. Edward Malloy, aged 21, eloped from Hoquiam last night with Edith Thorpe, the 15-year-old daughter of a Hoquiam pioneer. In Centralia they met the girl's father, but she told him she was going to Chehalls to visit relatives, and he suspected nothing. When he ar rived home at 9 o'clock it came over him in a flash what his daughter had done, and the Portland police were noti fied to watch for the couple and to take them Into custody. Mr. Thorpe is furious at what has occurred, and Is said to have promised relentless prosecution of the young man. Malloy and the girl were arrested as they alighted from the train at the Union Dept by Detectives Hyde and Craddock upon a telegram from Chief of Police Oliver, of Hoquiam.

She was placed In the care of Police Matron Simmons, who escorted her to the woman's ward. Malloy gazed wist fully after the matron and her charge and sighed: "It's hard to see that poor girl go to Jail. I am much older and should know better." In a conversation relative to their romantic courtship, extending over six months, the young man told his sym pathetic listeners: "I worked in a mill in Hoquiam. I boarded with my brother, directly across the street from the girl's home. We saw a great deal of each other. Her father or any of her family have never displayed any dislike for me. We loved each other from the first. Yes, we talked of getting married. I thought I could better myself and was coming to Portland to find work. When I was leaving the girl came to bid me good ble. Well, you know how It is it was hard for me to leave her behind and she knew it. That is why she is here." Malloy evinced no perturbation when apprised of the fact that the girl's father threatened to prosecute him for his action. "I'm sorry her father feels that way about it. Why can't he let me have the girl. I never did a thing in my life I am ashamed of or sorry for. Of course, he can make trouble, but what good will it do him? Sure, I'll go back and face them all. I have nothing to fear." The pair will be returned to Hoquiam today. NO KIMONOS ON STREETS Women Who Appear In Negligee at San Diego Will Be Arrested. SAN DIEGO. Cal., Aug. 1. (Special.)

OFFICERS TO BE CLEARED Belief General In Xavy Is That Court Holds Sutton Shot Him self While Trying to Shoot One of Other Officers. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Aug. 16. The Sut ton court of inquiry closed today after two secret sessions, during which the testimony relative to the death of Lieu tenant James N. Sutton, Jr., was gone over thoroughly. The findings were reached and signed tonight. What they are the members of the court refused to say, as they will be reviewed by the Navy Department at Washington before being made public. While those who sat in the case were sworn to secrecy and the findings of the court are not known, the consensus of opinion in naval circles, including the views of old officers who have served on courts-martial, is that it will be found that Sutton died by his own hand, and by accident, and that he shot himself while trying to shoot an other. It is also thought that all of the offi cers who have appeared in the case will be exonerated. While it is possible that charges might be preferred against them, no attention will be paid to them, owing to the breaches of discipline having occurred two years ago.
