of "U. S. B."
NEW YORK, Xov. 27. The name of
Norman R. Hamilton, collector of the
Port of Norfolk, Va.-today was again
mentioned in testimony before the
congressional committee investigating
Ahe United States shipping board.
Harold F. Hanes, examiner for the
fmergency fleet corporation, formerly
n investigator for the board, said
that while in Norfolk he had been ad
vised that if his inquiries included
Mr. Hamilton, it would be well for
him to "lay off," as Mr. Hamilton was
the "closest man in Virginia to Presi
dent Wilson."
Hanes said the alleged warning did
not deter him from continuing his
work, but he added it was not com
pleted by him.
He said that at Norfolk, Va.. he
saw a bill for $48, which had been
paid for putting a 50-cent hinge on
a galley door.
He testified that 25 men had been
sent aboard a ship in the same port
and remained there from 7:30 A. M.,
Monday, to the same hour the fol
lowing Monday, and were allowed
pay for 39 hours a day. On another
occasion, he said, 12 carpenters were
put to work at one time in a" wireless
room which measured four by four
fe L
Hanes also testified to investi
gating gifts of watches and stock
to shipping board employee..-
Short deliveries and overcharges
for beef furnished -to the emergency
fleet ship also was alleged by Hanes.
He said 24 cents a pound was paid
for 11-cent beef.
Payment of a commission of $1000
on en order of $14)00 to a ship cap
tain at Portland, Or., also was tes
tified to by Hanes. The name of the
ship was not given." The commission,
he said, was paid by the Portland
branch of a Boston ship supply firm.
Discovery of silverware marked
"U. S. S. B." In a hotel at Yoko
hama and street vendors selling ship-
ping board linen at La Pallice ateo
was testified to by Hanes. He said
he did not know whether these mat
ters had been investigated.
DAVIS OUT FOR CABINET
IVicnds of Governor of Idaho
Launch His Candidacy.
THE OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Nov. 27. (Special.)
Impetus was given to the movement
for the appointment of Governor D.
W. Davis of Idaho as secretary of the
interior by the arrival here today of
Frank Brown of Boise, Governor Da
vis' secretary, and Robert O. Jones,
secretary of state of Idaho.
Both declined to say that they had
come here to promote appointment
of the Idaho governor, but it was no
ticeable that wherever, they went
they left a trail of apparent Davis
sentiment. Calls were made on sev
eral senators, including Senators
Borah of Idaho, Jones of Washing
ton and MeXary of Oregon, and a few
republican leaders.
The conference with Senator Mc
Na.ry was said to have been solely
with reference to reclamation mat
ters in which the , state of Idaho is
interested, Senator McNary being
chairman of the senate committee on
irrigation.

Is properly to be sought In a good
blood medicine, because authorities
say rheumatism is a blood disease;
acid has entered the blood, settling
in the muscles and joints. That's
what makes the sharp, .sudden,, shot
like pains, causing you to jump and
cringe in agony.
Hood's Sarsaparilla comprises rem
edies that every physician prescribes
for rheumatism, combined with other
blood-purifying, tonic and strength,
building ingredients in a formula
vastly superior in make-up and in
curative power. It does give positive
relief. Thousands say so. So will you.
For a fine laxative take Hood's Pills.
