WOLFE'S DEATH
ACCIDENTAL
COrOnOr'S Jury Find Poison
Was Taken Uninten=
tiOnally.

The Coroner's jury, acting under the
direction of Justice of the Peace w. A.
Stewart of Culdesac, has rendered Q
verdict in the case OF the death Of
Matthew Wolfe, the Nezperce Indian
found dead in the barn near Culdesac,
in which George Paine Is exonerated
and the cause of death attributed to
carbolic acid poisoning, taken unln-
entionally by the deceased.
The inquest commenced yesterday
afternoon, at which time a post-mor-
TEN examination was conducted by
County Physician Hurlbut. The exam
ination showed that death had been
caused by carbolic acid poisoning.
The testimony introduced showed
that Paine had been a companion Of
Wolfe's during the day, but there was
no evidence of an incriminating char
acter nor any to show o motive for the
committing of crime.
Paine was arrested Tuesday evening
upon telephone message received
from the Culdesac officers and taken to
Culdesac yesterday afternoon by Dep
uty Sheriff A. A. Masters. He was orr
dered released this morning by the
coroner's jury which investigated the
circumstances Of the Indians death.
George Paine is a native of Berk-
shire, England, and claims to have
been in the United States but short
time. He is about 25 years of age, and
said he had worked for few trips on
on of the Snake river steamers between
Lewiston and Riparia.
He said he first met Wolfe Monday
morning, when the latter was looking
for white labor to work on his ranch,
and that he had secured employment
/ from the Indian They were about
town Monday drinking in the saloons,
and slept together Monday night. They
continued their drinking Tuesday, ana
when intoxicated went to the barn be-
low, the Northern Pacific depot, where
they both went to sleep.
+, Paine said he carried a carbolic acid
solution in his pocket, which he used
as a hair tonic, and when he awole he
J discovered the empty bottle lying on
the barn floor, but thought little OF 1t
at the time. His brain was muddled
from the excessive use of liquor, and
he has but faint recollection of leav-
ing the barn and boarding the train for
Lewiston.
The carbolic acid hair tonic, he
claims, was furnished him at the ST.
Vincent hospital in Portland, and he
also carried another kind OF hair tonic
which he kept in his grip,

TAKES ISSUE

Mrs. Adlai Stevenson Looks
at Race Suicide from
Humane View.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. T7.--Nearly
800 delegates present at the conven-
tion of the Illinois Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs yesterday heard from Mrs.
Adlai e. Stevenson, wife OF the former
vice president, the humane" side of
the race suicide argument
There is no thoughtful woman in
America said Mrs. Stevenson, who
has not been more than startled by
the appeal for larger families. While
this appeal has been more urgent, do
not recall that there has been one
word in reference TO the health or life
of the mothers. nor has the ability of
the mother, physically, mentally, NOR
ally spiritually or financially to rear
chfl7~ran been touched upon. The ques-
ton zhould not be how many children.
but taair condition, and what kind Of
citizens they win make. The plea that
some thought should be given to pro-
longing the life of the mother and
tbue protect the babes should occupy
first place in the work of mother
clubs The size of the family is of
less Importance"

Wife OPPOSED
TO THIRD Term
President aaS Promised
Mrs. Roosevelt lie Will
Not Run.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17,-Women
why shouldn't woman have a strong
voice in saying whethere such-and
such man should rule the republic
OF so-and-so?
Capitol gossip asserts Theodore
Roosevelt wlll keep his promise not to
run again for the presidency, and in
that Tntirement he will not only be full
Slling his promise to the people but
the pledge ts his wife
Mrs. Roosevelt long ago informed ex-
eeedfngly close friends that her hus-
band and she long ago decided that,
purely as a family affair, not politi-
cal one, he would leave the White
House March 4, 1903.
The spreading of that story within
the last couple of days has caused a
stir, of course, but as far as society
alone is concerned, a second piece of
gossip is of interest. This comes on
such good authority that it may be
classed as confirmation, rather than as
gossip IT is that Mrs. Roosevelt re-
luctant1y has consented to introduce
her younger daughter Ethel to Wash
ngton society, probably in Christmas
week of 1908. Mrs. Roosevelt, says
her confidante, is determined to shield
Ethel from the publicity that came TO
Alice Roosevelt, and she would prefer
that the former girl wait until the fam
lily should be established in private
life. Still she realizes what it is for
any girl to '~"ke her social bow in the
White House All" for that reason she
will grant to EetheI just three months
as social grown-up with the crown
ing Joy of the inaugural ball; that is,
if the chief personages at that fete be
congenial to the Roosevelts.
Mrs. Roosevelt from the first hour of
the presidents incumbency has been
solicitous about the effect on her chill
dren. often she has pleaded with per-
sons not to spoil the children and has
exerted all her influence to keep their
doings out of print. Particularly, she
