Commissioner Protests to State Au
ditor Against Alleged Misstate
ments When Report of In
vestigators Is Tiled.
OLTMPIA. Wash., Oct. 22. (Special.)
In a report exceeding 100 typewritten
pages, the State- Bureau of Inspection
charges errors uncounted In the book
keeping: of the Industrial insurance de
partment, and numerous instances of
lax administration or faulty methods
or the part of the former Commission
ers. A long list of alterations is rec
ommended by the examiners as to what
they believe will be Improvements in
both the law and its administration.
If the present system of setting
aside pension reserves Is continued, the I

the state. They declare that trTe pen
sion reserves are now $500,000 below
the state's accumulating liabilities for
future pension payments.
the Industrial insurance Commission,
through Chairman E. W. Olson, pro
tested to C. W. Clausen. State Auditor
and chief of the bureau, against what
they designated as discrepancies and
misstatements of fact in the work of
the examiners.
The report covers the period from
October 1. 1911, when the department
"was organized, to January 1, 1916, and
does not go into the administration of
E. W. Olson. John M. Wilson and F. A.
Gill, who, by appointment of Governor
Lister, on June 1 succeeded Floyd L.
Daggett, A. B. Ernst and Clarence
Parker as Commissioners, following the
Gillies fraud trials and convictions.
Gillies' defalcations as claim agent of
the department are found by the exam
iners to total $20,047.35, of which the
state recovers $2000, the amount of
Gillies' bond.
High Bonds Recommended.
Recommendation is made that the
Legislature appropriate the balance,
$18,047.35. to prevent It being taken
from the funds contributed by employ
ers for the purpose of paying Injury
claims. Further recommendation is
made that the Commissioners be bonded
for $25,000 each, claim agent for $10,000
and the department auditor for $5000.
Substitution of one Commissioner for
the three now In office is advised as a
better method of administering the de-
. partment.
The report also urges that the In
dustrial Insurance Commission be made
absolutely non-partisan, for which Gov
ernor Li&ter has set the precedent in
appointing John M. Wilson, Republi
can. Of the former. Commission the
examiners say that "an evident desire
on their part to see that injured em
ployes received full compensation for
injuries has caused sympathy, to over
ride their judgment."
Hn rci ii f'Y-il I i'i ttri la alert i11rir(Ai1 to
the Commissioners for the amount of
traveling they did about the state and
their consequent frequent absence from
the Olympia office is cited aa affording
opportunity for the defalcations that
'. have occurred.
Traveling expenses of the Commis
sioners for two years ending April 1,
1915, are given as $6263.79, to which is
added a total of $10,194 paid physicians
on claims adjusted in various parts of
the state. Collection of expense money
-from the state is also charged for trips
to and from residences. The total cost
of industrial insurance administration
for approximately five years covered
' by the examination is shown to have
reached $609,300, and it is stated that
not sufficient funds now remain to
carry the Commission through the preS'
. ent biennium, while an increase of $72,
: 688 has been asked ofthe coming Leg
islature.
Recommendation is also made that
lump sum settlements of injury claims
be discontinued, with the exception of
widows, whose husbands have been
killed, in which cases the bureau would
Increase the settlement from $240 to
$500 when the widow remarries, as a
special Inducement to remarry.
It is also urged that pensions paid
foreign widows be graduated in accord
ance with the increased purchasing
power of the gold dollar in the coun
tries where they live, the point being
raised that discrimination is now prac
ticed against American women, who are
unable to live on the $20 monthly pen
sion allowed, while in many foreign
countries that sum is sufficient to sup
port a woman In idleness.

rickford.
Crowds hocked yesterday to the
Pickford Theater, thereby proving that
"Little Mary's" earlier subjects do not
diminish in popularity. The Pickford
began a four-day engagement of "In
the Bishop's Carriage," which has al
ways proved one of the most acceptable
pnotoplays Mary Pickford ever made.
In the Bishop s Carriage" Is from
the novel of the same name by Miriam
Michelson and the story is admirably
suited to the winsome personality of the
star. .First as a much-abused little or
phan, clad in rags and daily receiving
severe punishment and beatings, then
as a pickpocket, dodging police and
finally, as a chorus girl in "tights,"
who has turned "straight," forsaken
the criminal life and become a stage
celebrity. Miss Pickford has roles that
lend themselves to a complete display
or an ner well-known charms and tal
ents. House Peters contributes some
splendid work in the role of Ober
muller.
The story In brief: Nance Olden flees
from an orphanage and takes refuge
with Tom Dorgan. a pickpocket. Dor
gan saves her from the authorities and
makes a skilled "dip" of the girl. Hard
pressed one day she takes refuge in
the bishop s carriage, temporarily re
forms, and then fails. Obermuller
(House Peters) enters her life, and
when Dorgafc goes to prison the girl
abandons the old life. Dorgan escapee
confronts the girl once more, and has
her in his power until Obermuller inter
venes, finally disposing of the crook.
Paramount Pictographs. which com
plete the programme, are of more than
usual Interest.
Columbia.
There are not many smiles In Bill
Hart's Western "bad man." but his
own quickness, plus camera art, have
resulted In a "draw" that shame the
eye. Bill is easily the Screen's pre
mier "bad man," and every time Tri
angle, after a departure from the logi
cal in the shape of an Indian role, a
half-breed, or something of the kind,
presents Hart in the role that made
him famous, or the role he has made
famous, tho fans heave a sigh of re
lief, which quickly merges into one of
delight. Hart is at his "bad man" best
in "The Return of Draw Egan," a film
fairly reeking of gunpowder, which
is the current offering at the Colum-
Dia l neater..
ine Din, in ract. is altogether a
smoky affair, for the two-reel comedy,
another of those Mack Swain bur
lesques, entitled "Ambrose's Rapid
Rise." is lavish in pistol play, to say
nothing of dare-devil riding, sensa
tional falls, as well as a lesson in the
delicate art of boiling eggs. Hart is
a bad man. reformed and turned City
Marshal, but he has nothing on the
tubby Mack, for the Keystoner is one
of "Nature's Noblemen," with a sharp
shooting prowess that brings such re
suits as: "The Redskins fell like Au
tumn leaves before his deadly aim."
Hart vanquishes many opponents,
fistically and via the six-eun route, in
"The Return of Draw Egan." He like
wise demonstrates that he has not for
gotten the art of rolling a cigarette
with one hand or several fingers C
utilizing his finger-nail for sand
paper when it comes to striking i
match. The picture unquestionably is
one of the best of the Hart "Westerns
of the year. The tory, that of an out
law who becomes marshal of a town
is surcharged with the action we all
attribute to the wild and woolly Weet
of former years, while the presence of
pretty Margery Wilson, who combines
a flash of Marguerite Clark with much
of Alice Brady; and Louise Glaum, the
voluptuous-looking Triangle "vamp,"
add to the worth of the photodrama.

Then, too, she was perhaps mora modest

"We are money-mad." asserted ur.

"We want men who are greater than
their professions. They may fail in

they are greater men by reason of

"Success cannot be judged by the
amount of money a man earns or
amasses. The small man who can be

apology."
Dr. Dyott asserted that one of the
chief assets the physician had was his
ability to Inspire confidence.
The lawyer he said was also engaged
in a noble profession.
Dr. Dyott said that every profession
sufiered because of the presence in it
of men who were not the real type.
