he sat down on the other end of the
bridge to watch the fun and see his
blur win out. The next minute the
couple did the jump.
At this point the river is not very
wide. but Is exceptionally swift. 1t
took superhuman effort on the part
of Brogan to disengage one hand and
swim out, and even then they landed
far below the bridge.
At the police station Chief Woydt
did all in his power to suppress the
story of the attempt at self destruc-
ton, working on his usual theory
that it Is better to suppress news
than for it to be published. In most
states the penalty for attempted sui
eide is from six months to two years
in prison, and in this state the pen
atty IL said to be one year, but in
this case the girl was let go with
the reprimand not to attempt 1t
again. Chief Woydt did not even
get the name Of the girl until Police
Commissioner Root ordered him alb
solutely to hold her until she gave
her name, and even then the chief
did not get the address Of the woman.
His excuse for not getting the name
was that he was going to protect the
girl.
Chief of Police Woydt's methods of
suppressing news are not equalled by
any other police system in the United
States. He stands alone. and with
all the robberies and other crimes
kept from the public 1t is likely he
will make a good record as a police
officer

With hands tietd together, Mike

and Lulu Hoffman. a 17-year-old girl,
sought to end their love troubles
at . o'clock this morning by jumping
from the foot bridge at Natatorium
park into the Spokane river.
Their jump was witnessed by +.le
mail carrier for Fort Wright, who
a minute before had jeered at them
as they stood on the bridge. The
letter carrier nearly had q At when

He dashed madly into the Natatorium
park, where he summoned one Of the
laborers and the two rushed back
to offer all possible effort to drag
the love-lorn pair in from the water.
Their services were not necessary
because Brogan decided a live Irish
man Is better than a dead one as
soon as his feet touched the water.
and he wriggled himself partially
free from the bindings that bound
their hands and began swimming to-
ward shore, dragging the woman
with him. His efforts were success
full, and, more dead than alive, the
two were dragged from the water on
the north bank Of the river.
The young woman was rolled on
the bank for few minutes and was
then taken to the engine room at
the Natatorium baths, where she was
given a change of garments and her
clothes were dried. Brogan was plac-

he did not reciprocate her affections.
This morning she received a tele-

from the bridge together. After an
hours urging the girl consented to
Brogan's plan.

No estimate can be made until all

that $500 will be cleared. The car

The giories Of the Labor Carnival
have faded into forgotten yesterdays.
The queen has abdicated, and the
bearded lady Of the side show has
heard the mournful breezes Of Spo-
kane whistle through her mustache
for the last time. Where but yes
eereaSe tie trained bear danced the
couchee- couchee and the black
proved son of the desert awoke the
Teblss Of his crazy pipes, there Is
today naught but barren lot, unro-
mantle and uninviting.
. The prime minister Of the royal
conrt has sent his cooked hat back
to the costumer and his white hose
to the laundry. while the glamor that
surrounded the beauteous ladies Of
the imperial household has simmsred
down to everyday comeliness.

troupe. with all the painted wagons
And educated monkeys, left for Walla
Walla. As soon as the show closed
last night, the tearing-down process
was commenced. and within a few
hours the tented city had folded up
like an umbrella.
Now that 1t is all over the man
ayers Of the big entertainment are
counting out the coins and figuring
on whether or no there will be a
sufficient balance to form a nucleus
for a labor temple building fund. So
ciRlly the carnival was a great tri-
umph, but owing to the adverse
weather conditions that obtained dur
ing the early part of the week, It is
certain that the financial fruitage will
not be great. Still. beyond doubt,
the trades council will do consider
ably better than coming out even.
