FEAR DRIVES FIREMAN
TO JUMP FROM ENGINE

SEATTLE, March 21.- Strangely
overcome by fear, William Cavaness.
a fireman on locomotive on a narraw
gauge road used by the Morgan Lum-
Der company, at Lester, short dis
lance above Green River Hot Springs,
leaped from the engine last evening,
as it was descending grade, appar-
emily beyond control of the engineer.
He landed on his head on a pile of
within a few minutes after the acct
dent.
To the engineer and others who were
at the scene of the accident the death
of Cavaness is inexplicable. The engine
was going down grade at the time. 1t
was travelling at a high rate of speed,
but at no time was it beyond the con-
troll of the engineer. For some unac-
countable reason the fireman, becoming
frightened, leaped from the cab and
landed head first on a pile Of broken
stones.
The engineer brought the engine to a
stop a short distance beyond the place
where the fireman leaped. There was
absolutely no danger, but Cavaness was
impelled by strange fear and took the
fatal leap.
He is survived by a widow and two
children. A deputy coroner left for the
scene today to investigate the accident.
The body will be shipped to the former
home in Missoula.

FARMER GIRLS DEATH

BELLINGHAM, March 21.- Miss
Edith Reed. whose father is a rancher
and lives about six miles out of Bel
bingham on the Guide Meridian road,
lies dead in a hospital at Vancouver,
B. c., and the officials there suspect
that death is the result of suicide. The
mother was called to the deathbed Of
the girl and all arrangements had been
made to have the body returned to
Rellingham today when the Canadian
officials stepped in and ordered the
body held and it is possible that an in
quest will be ordered
The young woman. who is IS years
of age, has been living away from
home for some years past, returning
only at infrequent intervals for visits.
Her parents maintain that she never
ran away from home, but went with
their consent.
The Young woman died Sunday
night, and the attending physician is
sued a death certificate setting forth
anaemia as the cause, probably COM
plicated by the swallowing Of some
antiseptic tablets. This led to the
interference of the authorities. 1t Is
claimed that the girl went to Van
couver two weeks ago and was known
there by the name of Holmes She
was accompanied by companion
whom the police are watching, as
the girl died under strange circum-
| stances.
A sister of the dead girl, Mrs. Stella
| Speilman, arrived in Bellingham thi:
morning, expecting that A. r. Mauis'
by of this city, who went to Van
couver to care for the body. woulc
arrive with the remains today. Mr.
Mauisby was about prepared to come
when the authorities decided to in
vestigate the death. In Vancouvel
the girl was under the care Of DR.
Brydone Jack, one of the best known
| physicians of that city.

well, then, We will build our own
gymnasium, and do all Of the work
ourselves" said John Tregay, 16 years
old, one of the hackers of the new
gymnasium idea.
Since New Years day young Tregay
and a small army of boys who attend
the church have put in their spare
time delving beneath the edifice with
pick and shovel until at last they have
all but completed the job of removing
the dirt-35O cubic yards Of It.
The best of the boys accomplishment
is that they have won over the elder
members of the church to such an
extent that they now will advance the
remainder of the money necessary to
construct a modern gymnasium in the
basement.
Il guess we have saved the church
about $3.50 on the job, and the trus-
tees are willing to bear the remainoe:
of the expense" said John Tregay as
he paused in the work of digging. 'It's
hard work. but it's good exercise, and
that is what we want the gymnasium

FIRST DEFEAT FOR WHITMAN
\. l. c. 0ebalefs Down Mission.
aries al Ninth ATTEMPT

For the first time since Whitman
and Washington State college have
wrestled with worcs upon the debat
ing platform the oratory of the Mis-
sionaries has proven unequal to the
occasion. Whitman lost the ninth de-
bate last night at Pullman by a two
to one decision.
The local college had the negative
of the question. Resolved. That cities
in the United States having a popula-
ton of $4,000 or more. should own and
operate their street railways" The
farmer bunch" is reported to be in a
delirium of delight over the victory
while corresponding depression
reigns upon the Whitman campus Fol-
lowing is the personnel of the Whitman
team: Carl Helm, Henry Davenport
and Clarence Morrow. Helm did the
rebuttal work.

HIGH SCHOOLS
HAVE INNINGS
Chief Topic Before Teach.
ers Their Missions

After the opening exercises at the
teachers institute this morning. Prol.
Jones made a few remarks relative to
the Washington Educational assocla-
ton. He urged the teachers to become
members.
In grades 5-6-7 Mr.. Alderman con-
tinued his talk of the previous day on
History" He dwelt chiefly on the
administration period. He made an
outline which would be helpful to the
teacher who would have to deal with
that period of history.
The subject taken up in the princl-
pals section presided over by Supt.
Jones, was: The cause of study from
principals standpoint This was
considered one of the most interesting
meetings of the section.
In the high school section was a
continuation of the subject: Uniform
course of studies for high schools.
Prof Hendrick treated the subject. 1t
was suggested to dispense with the
three courses and divide the work into
two one course for graduating from
high schools and course for entrance
INTO cOleSeS. lie suggested tlidl llle
latter be left as it is.
Prof. Klemme. principal of the local
high school, treated the subject What
changes are needed to meet the de-
mands of the times He said there
was not enough connection between
the grades and high school. Boys and
girls from high school do not have
ability in business lines as they ought
to have upon graduation" He said it
was not the promise Of high school
teacher to make specialists in business
lines, but high schools should teach
fundamental principles Of arithemetic,
English, etc.
In the primary section Miss Mont
romery gave an interesting exercise on
Language" Her subject was dis
cussed from two points, formative and
ormal. She afterwards gave an inter-
osting talk on Alaska before the un-
rraded section. Miss Melcher of Whit
nan conservatory was compelled to re-
spond to an encore after she had rend-
cred a vocal solo.

WORCESTER, Mass, Mch. 21.-A
romance that eliminated in secret
marriage at Albany three months ago
and which has just leaked out had its
beginning on the gridiron here. The
principals are Edward L. McManus
Jr.. Of Natick, and Susanna Wadsworth
Harris, daughter of William Harris
of Worthwhile, N. Y, a state senator.
At the beginning of the 1905 game
between Harvard freshmen and Wor-
cester academy, McManus. the star
tackle of the latter team was out be-
cause of an injury to his knee. In the
game his substitute weakened and in
spite of the protests of his doctor Nc
Manus took his place, playing a whirl-
wind game. which helped the Worces-
ter team to the first victory over Har-
ward in nine years.
Miss Harris was attracted by Nc
Manus's spectacular playing, and after
the game they were introduced. Last
Christmas vacation they slipped away
to Albany and were married by the
Rev. Father Burke.

CHESTER THOMPSON MAY
COME TO PENITENTIARY

WASHINGTON ID. c.. Mch. FL
he supreme court of the United
States has reversed the decision Of
the United States circuit court for the
western district of Washington, in the
case of Sheriff Urquhart, of Lewis
county, Washington, VS.. Thomas
Brown. Brown was tried in the local
court on the charge of murder, but
was acquitted on the plea of insanity.
He Immediately afterward, and with
out inquiry. was jailed on the order
of the court.
He appealed the case to the state
supreme COURT and. when he failed to
secure relief. took his case to the United
States circuit court, which granted
him a writ of habeas corpus. On the
ground that he was entitled to hear
ing and, in the absence of such pro-
CeedingS his second commitment had
been without the process of law and in
violation of the federal constitution.
After that decision the sheriff brought
the case to the supreme court
The opinion was by Justice Harlan,
who said that the case was not one
warranting interference by the federal
circuit court.
Two Cases Similar.
In reversing the decision of Judge
HanfOrd of the United States circuit
court of this district. in the case of
Henry w. UrQuerhart. sheriff of Lewis
county, against Thomas Brown, the
supreme court of the United States has
taken a step which will have a far
reaching effect, and which will prob
ably result in sending Chester Thomp-
son, the youth who sent Judge George
Meade Emory to his death, behind the
gray walls of the state renitentiary.
The similarity in the legal points in
volved in the two cases is marked
Thomas Brown is a minor who MUIR
dered his father in Lewis county. The
defense. which was that of insanity
was a successful one. The prosecut
ing attorney Of Lewis county, failing
in his attempt to secure a conviction
applied to the superior court to COM
NIT the prisoner to the state peni-
tertiary, under the state code, as a per-
son unsafe to be allowed at large
When this was done the boys attorney
appealed to the supreme court of the
state to test the constitutionality o.
he law. The supreme court sustained
the position taken by the superior
court.
