This' Is believed to be part of the

up to Former Warden H. K. Dawson by
C. T. Haas, of Portland. Mr. Haas had
approached Dawson with the proposi

dation, he could be secure in his posi
tion. ,
Lawson questioned Haas' authority
to make . such a proposition, and Haas
informed him that Jie represented the
"powers that' be." Dawson ignored the
Haas proposition.
The appointment of Harry Minto as
warden to succeed him has just been
