ishment of Seattle "Fast
Cure" Practitioner.
TERM DECLARED MERCIFUL
Voman Convicted of Starving Pa
tient to Death Must Go to Peni
tentiary at Walla AValla for
Two to Twenty Years. ,
OL.YMPIA. Wash., Auk. 12. (Spe
cial.) Linda Burfleld Hazzard, the
Seattle "fast cure" practitioner con
victed of manslaughter, charged with
gradually starving to death Claire Wil
liamson, two years ago, must go to
AValla Walla penitentiary to serve the
sentence of from two to 20 years im
posed by the Kitsap court, the Supreme
Court decided today.
The evidence showed Claire William
son and her sister, Dora, while taking
the fasting treatment, were induced to
deed all of their considerable prop
erty to Mrs. Hazzard and her husband
and after Claire's death, Mrs. Hazzard
siiKjrested to Dora, then terribly ema
ciated, that another patient had at
tempted suicide by jumping over a
precipice which she pointed out.
After reviewing this evidence, the
decision concludes: "The trial court in
imposing sentence tempered justice
with mercy."
Diet Sips at fruit Juice.
The Williamsons, two young Eng
lish women, were given the fasting
treatment by Dr. Hazzard from Feb
ruary 28, to May 19, 1911, being al
lowed only occasional sips of fruit and
vegetable juices. On he latter date
Claire died.
Five of the nine Supreme Court
Judges, Including the Chief Justice,
signed the decision.
The trial of Mrs. Hazzard on a
charge of causing the death of Claire
Williamson by starvation, was one of
the most noted in the history of Wash
ington. Miss Williamson and her
younger sister. Dorothea, two wealthy
English spinsters, who were touring
the United States, went to Mrs. Haz
zard for treatment in February, 1911.
In a few weeks the sisters were help
less from lack of nourishment and
were removed by Mrs. Hazzard from
Seattle to her starvation sanitarium at
Olalla, Kitsap County. A month later
Claire died.
Rrltlnh Consul Acts.
Mrs. Hazzard, who already had ob
tained powers of attorney from the
sister, had herself appainted admin
istrator of Miss Williamson's estate and
was proceeding to take charge when
the, British vice-consul at Tacoma in
tervened and the prosecution was be
gun under direction of special counsel
employed by the British vice-consul.
Miss Dorothea Williamson was removed
from the sanitarium and soon recov
ered her normal health. -
A civil suit for J35.000 against Mrs.
Hazzard and a Seattle undertaker . for
desecrating Miss Claire Williamson's
body by performing an autopsy with
out authority, is pending in the Kit
sap County Superior Court.
Mrs. Linda Burfleld Hazzard. .who. 4s
not a licensed physician, has for years
treated sick people by prescribing a
method of fasting. Ten of her patients
have died, the cause being given In
those cases, where inquests were held,
as starvation.

Interested, the Governor's wife is said
to have broken down. In tears she is
asserted to have told Senator Palmer
that the Governor had nothing to do
with the Wall street transactions laid
at his door by the Frawley committee
but that she was solely responsible'
and therefore was entirely to blame
for the resultant impeachment proceed
ings. it was also said by friends of both
the Governor and his wife that during
the campaign Mr. Sulzer gave Mrs.
Sulzer $900 for personal expenses. She
is said to have told - her confidantes
that this sum was invested with others

men in whom I have no confidence.',
This was the declaration today of
Rudolph Spreckels, banker and man of
public affairs, and President Moore, of
the Panama-Pacific International Kx
position, listened to it unmoved, with
only the width of a table between him
and the speaker.
Spreckels was testifying In the suit
which the exposition has brought
against him to compel payment in full
of his subscription of $25,000. on which
he defaulted after sending his check
for $2500 as first payment.
Conditions Xot Met, He Says.
Across the face of a statement of
alleged indebtedness Spreckels wrote
in returning it:
'The conditions of my subscription
have not been fulfilled and I do not
owe your corporation anything."
In testifying- he explained that his
subscription had been' given in the understanding-
that Federal aid for the
expedition was to have been sought and
that such had not been the event.

CRIMSON STORY IS TOLD
(Continued From First rage.)
her father's partner, who trailed the
party to Reno and at sight of whom
she cried when she . was arrested,
shook hands with. her.
Mrs. Drew Caminetti was not in
court.
"I am 20 years old." began Miss
Warrington, "and I live with my
father and stepmother. My mother
died when I was 6 years old.
"I have known Maury I. Diggs since
last September and we were close
friends. Two weeks before we left
for Reno, while Drew Caminetti, Miss
Morris and I were riding with Diggs
In his machine, he told me that there
was & scandal about to be published
about the four of us and that we
vould have to leave town. I was
surprised, but he said we would have
to so.
Kalth In DlKKm Declared.
"Miss Norris was told and Caminetti
joined Diggs In urging that we leave
immediately. They told us that we
would be arrested and subjected to the
third degree."
"Did you know that Diggs and Cami
netti were married at that time?"
"Yes, and Miss Norris knew it, too.
Dlgrgs told me that his relations with
his wife were unpleasant; -that he. was
unhappy and wanted to leave town.
He said he had an affection for me,
cared more for me than he did for his
wife. I believed him.
"He manifested love for me: he
kissed me; discussed marriage with me
and said he would get a divorce and
marrry me.
"Caminetti told Lola the same thing."
"Did you have an affection for him?"
"Yes, I had a strong affection for
him. We discussed leaving town to
gether several times. They told us
that Diggs father and Caminetti's
fattier were going to prosecute us two
and that Diggs Sr.) was giving an
attorney named Harris large sums of
money to keep the story, out of the
papers.
"We said we couldn't go. I said 1
co-.ildn't go away from father, that it
world kill him. Diggs said It would
all come out in the papers anyway.
"Mist; Norri3 said it would kill her
mother and Caminetti and Diggs told
us thax our parents would soon get
ov-r it. They kept urging us to go
immediately.
"On Saturday. March 8, Digea re
turned from San Francisco from a
business trip. He called us to a cafe,
told us his father was coming up from
Berkeley the following Monday to put
Caminetti in jail and have us prose
cuted. "The next day we met again and the
men finally decided on Reno, after con.
sidering Salt Lake City and Los Ange
les. We tried to back out. We said
we would just as soon stay and take
chances on the scandal. They told us
we couldn't back out.
"That night we met in a cafe. Cami
netti went out to get some money. We
went to the railway station and while
there a train for Reno was pulling out.
I told Diggs I would stay in Sacra
mento, lie said ho cared too much for
me and I would have to go.
"Caminetti didn't come back with
the money and we missed that train.
Later we met Caminetti at the cafe
and at midnight went to the station
again. When we got there D'ggs
told us to wait where we were and he
went over a 'id bought four tickets.
"We got ir. a Pullman car and Diggs
engaged a drawing-room. He paid the
Pullman conauctor. I aw him give
the railroad conductor the tickets forJ
our trip to Ketio. jniiss .Norris and
Caminetti toox the upper berth and
Diggs and 1 had the lower.
"We arrived at Reno the next day
the 10th at ntoct noon, and went to a
cafe for something to eat."
At this point the court took an ad
journment until tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock.
MeS'ab Takes Stand.
John Li. McXab, whose resignation
from the case and from the office of
United States Attorney became a Na
tional incident, took the stand for a
few moments just before the noon ad
journment. His testimony dealt en
tirely with the identification of exhib
its he had presented to the grand jury
when asking for indictments.
The evidence today went more mi
nutely into the arrests at Reno, the
conduct of Diggs, Caminetti, Marsha
Warrington and Lola Norris. when thev
learned that their aliases would not
stand and that they must return to Sac
ramento as prisoners, and the appear
ance of the bungalow in which, they
were found.
So dense was the press at the morn
ing session that it was necessary for
the United States Marshals to erect a
barrier across the corridors of the Fed
eral building and to suirmon a detail
of uniformed police to aid tnem In pre
serving order.
J. D. Hillhouse, chief of police at
Reno, testified to the arrest of Diggs.
Caminetti and the two girls at the
Cheney street bungalow on the morn
ing of March 14.
The chief and his nosse tried h
front door and got no answer. After
ringing the back doorbell for some
time. Diggs answered it in his under
shirt, trousers and slippers.
"You're Mr. Diggs, aren't you?" the
cnier astcea.
"No, I'm Mr. Enright." was the an
swer.
"I think you're Diggs and you're
wanted in Sacramento for elopement."
"All right, there's no use in my at
tempting to deny it. I'm Digsrs."
During this conversation, the chief
testified, Marsha Warrington was In
the south bedroom and Caminetti and
Lola Norris were in the north bedroom.
ana caminetti was in about the same
stage of undress as Diggs.
The two girls then joined each other
in the bathroom and later came Into
the company of the men and the of
fleers in the kitchen. Their hair was
down and their dresses were not whol
ly buttoned.
From the bungalow the party was
taken to the chief's office and from
there to the jail. As the men were led
away to their cells, Diggs said, to
Marsha Warrington:
"It's up to you girls whether we so
to the penitentiary or not."
"We'll stay with you," the girls
answered.
"Boys" Preferred to Parents.
The chief then entered upon a de
tailed description of the two bedrooms
with a view to showing that the- two
girls had not slept together in one
room and the two men In the other.
On cross-examination. Chief Hill
house testified that Marsha Warring
ton had telephoned to her father In
Sacramento from his office before the
men were taken to Jail:
"The boys are not to blame. Don't
ao anytning with them. Drop the
case!"
Again, the chief testified. Miss War
rington, in discussing their plight, had
said:
"If It comes to a fight between the
boys and our parents, wc will stick to
the boys." ,
The behavior of the party immedi
ately after their arrest was turned to.
Chief Hillhouse testified that Diggs ap
peared unconcerned and that there was
talk of a theater party that night. He
had freely admitted registering at a
Reno hotel, on arriving from Sacra
mento, as C. E. Enright and wife, of
Los Angeles.

PORTLAND SCALE IS
ADOPTED BY STATE
Harris Causes Sensation at
State House When An
nouncement Is Made.
SHOP WILL BE UNIONIZED
General Opinion Prevails in Salem
That Governor West Is In Com
plete Accord With Policies
of Xew Official.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Announcing that he would put into
effect in the state printing office the
Portland job scale of wages. State
Printer Harris today caused a sensa
tion at the Statehouse. The Portland
scale is $25.50 a week while the
Salem scale, and the present scale in
the state printing office, are $21 a
week.
Mr. Harris also announced that he
would enter Into a written contract
with the Salem Typographical Union,
unionizing the state printing office. He
announced that he had appointed
Arthur Brock, a llneotype operator,
foreman of the office and that the
force of men employed by the late
VV illis Scott Duniway had been dis
charged. Governor West, who yesterday op-'
posed the appointment of W. M. Plimp
ton, superintendent of the plant under
Mr.- Duniway, secretary of the state
printing board, left the scene of action
last night and today was at his Summer
home at Cannon Beach. That he and
the new State Printer are in thorough
accord is the general opinion advanced.
Plimpton was appointed by the votes
or the State Treasurer and Secretary
of State. Treasurer Kay when asked if
the law gave Mr. Harris the right to
sign a contract for the state with the
union said that in his opinion it did not.
Mr. Kay said that as a member of the
printing board and a state officer it
was his duty to see that the law was
enforced. He called attention to the
allegation of the State Printer that a
contract could b signed under the fol
lowing clause of the law:
"He (the State Printer) shall con
tract In the name of the State of Ore
gon for the services of all persons em
ployed, at the rate paid by printing
establishments generally throughout
the State of Oregon for similar services,
and he shall not pay, or contract to
pay, any premiums, bonuses or any
amount in excess of the regular scale
of wages so generally paid throughout
the state to any employe without first
and in each and every case obtaining
permission to do so from the state
printing board."
"I construe the law," said Mr. Kay,
"that the State Printer is empowered
to enter into contracs with men to work
in the office at rates usually paid for
such labor, but not with any union or
organization to furnish labor to the
state on terms and conditions that they
may lay down, and which citizens and
taxpayers of the' state could not enjoy
unless members of such organization
Messrs. Kay and Olcott, at a meeting
of the board today, called attention to
the fact that none but union men are
employed In the office at present and
that they are paid the Salem ' union
scale. They said they saw no reason
why the present scale should not be
continued. For years Mr. Duniway gave
his men larger wages than the union
scale of Salem provided. Mr. Harrt
insisted that he was complying with
the law and that he would not recede
from his position.
Attorney-General Crawford has been
asked by Harris and the State Trea
urer for an opinion as to whether the
State Printer has a right to contract to
unionize the shop. He said it would
take him a day or two to look Into the
law, and would not venture an off hand
opinion.
Announcement also was made today
that the right of W. M. Plimpton to
serve as secretary of the board would
be questioned by union men. The law
provides that the secretary must be a
practical printer, and while Mr. Plimp
ton is a practical printer to the extent
that he knows how to conduct a print
ing office profitably, it Is charged that
he is not a practical compositor and
a union man.

laborers Joined by Engineers on
Building-s and Many Brandies
Are Quickly Affected.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 12. An acute sit
uation in the building trades developed
here late today when a strike of la
borers tied up work on three large

ment that at 10 o'clock tomorrow
