WOMAN LIFE SAVER DROWNED,
Miss Drummond Perishes In Creek
Where She Rescued Aged Man.

HOQUIAM, Wash, Nov 23.-Miss G..
E. DrummOnd, popular young lady of
Iron Springs, summer resort on
North Beach, is reported to have been
thrown from a buggy into Joe creek
and drowned. Meager reports obtain
able show that Miss Drummond and
her nephew left Iron Springs in a bug
gy to visit ROundtree place, at Joe
creek. Miss Drummond was left in the
buggy while her nephew went to
Roundtree. On returning he found no
trace of her.
1t is supposed the horse became I'M
manageable and ran away. and while
crossing the creek the unfortunate
woman was thrown from the buggy.
Miss Drummond was we'll educated
woman of high standing in this place.
Only last week she waded into the surf
waist deep to save the life of Mr.. Jae-
ger. an aged man who had been car
ried out by large wave while cross
ing the same creek.

Lucerne. that when Thaw got into

Another hotelkeeper is quoted as
saying:
They carried the deception so far

they pronounced their auto a wedding
present given them by the mother os

law"
At Interlacken, Brienz. Grindelwald
and other places in Switzerland, there
is the same expression of surprise. At
1nterlacken the complete story of their
auto trip was learned. Thaw and Miss
Nesbit were touring from Lucerne to

one elses auto ran into a carriapa

Thaw, coming up at the critical mo-

departed.
1t happened that the owner of the
carriage got the numbers of the au-
tos mixed and telephoned ahead to
have Thaw arrested. At Brienz DO

The tears of Miss Nesbit attracted q

'TEDOr'S THANKSGIVING
DAY WILL BE QUIETLY cE,e
DRAFTED At THE WHITE
HOUSE TOMORROW,
PRESIDENT Will Eat Dinner With His
Family and Leave at Night
for St. Louis.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. %
present signs point to rather quiet
thanksgiving for the national capital
tomorrow. Many public officials have
left for their homes in other parts Of
the country to eat their dinners OF
turkey and cranberry sauce. Included
among the absentees are several MEM
bers of the cabinet
The occupants of the White House
Will pass the day after the usual GUS
tom. Some changes in the usual pro-
gram will be necessitated, however.
by the fact that the president has fixed
tomorrow night as the time for his de-
parture for ST. Louis. In view of this
will find it necessary to spend a part
of the day with Secretary Loeb and
his assistants, instead of closing the
executive offices entirely as he has
done in past years.
But If there is any business to trans
act at the White House it will not be
permitted to interfere in the slightest
with the Thanksgiving dinner. The
president is stickler in regard to
the observance of the day with a good
old fashioned turkey dinner. He in
sists that all of the members of his
family shall be present on this Occa-
sion. There are no house guests at the
White House this year, but a number
of intimate friends in official life have
received invitations to partake of the
feast. Mr.. Roosevelt will carve his
own turkey, which will be a Rhode
Island bird of the finest breed Each
year at Thanksgiving time the noblest
gobbler in all that little state is sent
to the president of the United States,
being selected with the utmost care by
an old gentlemen named Horace Vose
of Westerly, who for more than a
quarter of a century has taken pride
in making this annual contribution to
the table of the White House. Turkeys
from many quarters have been re-
ceived at the White House during the
week These were distributed this
morning by Secretary Loeb among the
ushers, dOOrkeepers and other at
tacehs of the executive mansion.
Plans for the presidents trip to st.
Louis were practically completed to-
day. Secretary and Mrs. Loeb will ac-
company the ROOsevelts. A few MEM
bers of the White House staff also will
go along. 1t is evident from this that
the president intends putting the fin
ishing touches on his message to con-
gress during the trip as we'll as at
tending to other executive business
which can be done EN- route.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
There is danger that the governments
irrigation policy. which has been laid
out along broadly impartial lines by
men of the highest scientific attain
ments, is to be made the football of
politics. The irrigation fund is now
$23,00O,000, and the politicians are be-
ginning to realize that they overlooked
fine opportunity for political graft
turn the work over to disinterested
government experts.
It is said, on good authority, that in
the forthcoming session of congress a
bill will be introduced providing that
the irrigation fund be expended by
political commission Of either five or
seven members, and on the same au-
thOrity it is said that the HansbOrough
bill is to be pushed in both houses.
This bill, introduced in the last ses-
sion, will supplement the bill just re-
ferred to. 1t provides that all irri-
cation construction work is to be In
charge of a political engineer, who is
to be paid $4,000 a year. The effect
of this legislation, if enacted, will be
to remove the secretary of the interior
and the geological survey officials
from their present positions of admin
istrators of the law.
Scheme of Western States.
Back of this demand for a political
commission and a political engineer is
the desire of several of the western
states to have the irrigation fund dis
tributed among the states on the basis
of their respective contributions to the
fund The law provides that when
practicable the secretary of the inte-
rior must eXpend within each state at
least so per cent of the money it has
contributed to the fund from the sale
of it's public lands, but he is very prop
erIy clothed with good deal of dis
cretionary power. In some of the states

MAKES ATTACK
ON|NFORM NATION
Counsel for Young Weber
Argues That Client Was
Illegally Held for Trial
MOVES FOR DISMISSAL
Asserts Testimony Fails to
Show That Crime Was Com
mitted in Placer County

AUBURN, Dec. IA large crowd or
spectators, among whom were many
women assembled in court this morn
ing to hear Adolph Weber's plea to
the charge Of numbering his mother.
attorney Tabor, counsel for the pris-
oner, moved to set aside the informa-
ton on the grounds that Weber had
not been legally committed by mag
istrate. that the venue had not been
proven: that there was nothing in the
evidence to show that the shot that
killed Mrs. Weber was fired in Placer
County or that she died in Placer
County or that the person who fired
the shot was in Placer County at the
time.
Attorney Tabor then argued alonE
the lire that Weber was seen to pass
from the Weber home at $50 o'clock
or the night of the tragedy ana later
was seen at the postotice and Cohen 5
store before the fire bell rang, willis
the piano was heard at the eDer
home about e:45 O'Clock. He said tnat
all of the evidence showed that the de-
fendant was neVer known to own a
pistol, nor was he connected with the
pistol offered in evidence. Tabor next
reviewed the testimony given at the
preliminary hearing. Weber then
whispered TO him, whereupon he spoke
Of the threat referred to by Mrs. Snow
den that her turn would come next
Tabor said the remark was probably
misunderstood or misinterpreted at
all events il did not connect his client
with the murder.
District Attorney Robinson replied
at length TO Tabor's argument, and
quoted q Supreme Court decision TO
the effect that an information is
deposition, and that if the defendant
does not dispute the jurisdiction of the
court at the time it is presented the
Jurisdiction is established.
The morning was consumed in argu-
ment, and the Judge announced that
he would take the matter under adj
visement until 10 o'clock Thursday
morning.
The Grand Jury investigation into
the bank robbery will be concluded to-
morrow morning. 1t is believed that
an Indictment against Adolph Weber
upon that charge will be filed.
Claimants for the Weber estate are
bobbing up every day There came
into town yesterday a man giving the
name OF Lawrence, German, and
minister by profession. He claims TO
represent a brother of Julius weber
living in Oklahoma. The alleged broth
er's name is Ludwig Risenweber. Law
renee claims that Julius Weber's true
name was julius Risenweber. The au-
thorities give no credence to Law
rence's story. Julius Weber always
claimed that his relatives were dead.
