Mrs. Hammond Wandered to
Spokane On Return Meets
With Accident.

In last evenings Press was given
the news OF the sudden disappearance
of Mrs. H. A. Hammond, who left
her home in this city in the forenoon
shortly afteer O'Clock. leaving
note that she was going to Spokane,
but knowing Of her nervous condition
it was believed that she was labor
ing under a spell which made her
unaccountable for her actions,
fears were entereteaeined for her
safety
The relatives gave search during
the day and evening, until 1t was
learned that a woman answering her
description had been found lying
near the electric tracks in the yicin-
ity of Spokane Bridge and was pick
ed up and taken to St. Luke's hos
pital by the $3.50 train. The rela-
tiyes were advised and went to Spo-
kane on the next car.
Mrs. Hammond had boarded the
1880 train and went to Spokane as
per her note, and in leaving the car
she left her coat and purse in the
seat, but returned to the car before
it started On the return trip and
came back toward this city. Shortly
aftere leaving Greenaeres Conductor
Morrison said that he missed the lady
and supposed that she had left the
train there. but how or why she goi
on the car Is not known, and when
she was found she was lying near

tion, and seemed to be suffering al

HAMER TALKS
TARIFF MATTERS
Action Based On Best Interests OF
Constituents

Congressman Thomas r. Hamer,
by Hon. A. A. Crane.
republican county chairman, made q
visit to the city today, spending most
of his time greeting old friends and
political associates and incidentally
becoming posted on the needs Of his
constituents in matters of national
legislation.
Asked by a Press representative
what legislation our delegation in
congress had secured for the benefit
OF the state during the past session,
Congressman Hamer said:
There are four things which ]
consider the leading industries of
Idaho, lead. lumber, sugar and wool,
the two first named being the lead
ing products of the north and the
last named the chief products OF the
southern part OF the state. During
the tariff debate and In the passage
of the law our delegation succeeded
in saving the Dinghy tariff schedule
on lead, wool and sugar and prevent
ing a heavy reduction on lumber
These things are a benefit 10 all our
people as they bring a large sum Of
money TO US each year.
There has been some criticism Of
my support OF Speaker Cannon for
reelection. realize lIat he has
some faults, but In casting my vote
for him did so after carefully In
vestIgating the claims OF his oppo
nents and finding that he was the
man on whom could depend for the
best support when the tariff fght
came mp, as he was posted on ouI
needs and industries and had the sit
uation clearly in mind and in sup
porting him was doing that which
I considered for the best Interes
Of our state. He Is a republican
protectiOnist and not a reactionary
He believes In Just and equitable
protection ana not In protection II
spots and that II true republican doc
trine.
The new tariff bill provides for
reduction on many articles which tn
farmers and laboring classes use
such as shoes. harness. the eheape
grades OF cotton and many other ar
tieles. while the more expensive ar
ticles we're made to bear a heayie
burden OF taxation Taken as
whole I consider the tariff bill
very good measure. although Their
are some things would have hai
different. But we must make con
eessions in such legislation II We ar
TO secure what benefits our cOnstitu
ents"

and that was the reason they went
north Of Devon. Had Cook not ta-
ken the small canvas boat with him
to serve as ferry when they met
open water the Eskimos think they
would never have got home alive
from the pole trip.
Cooks statements about how they
got over wintering. lighting musk
oxen and walrus without ammuni-
ton, are also correct compared with
the statements OF his companions. as
is his statement about slow and difl-
cult wandering from Cape Sparbo to
Anoratok, where they had to drop
their sledges for two months.
At the Pole.
Were there special obstacles
which hindered going farther? Eski-
mos have told their friends that they
were very surprised when Cook told
them the goal was reached, because
the spot was not the least different
from adj other Ice they had passed
over. They had often asked Cook
to return, but that was only because
they had a feeling they were very
very far from shore. and that they
should never get back alive again.
As to the Equipment.
The Eskimos, who often saw the
start of expeditions, only have praise
for the manner in which Cook re
duced his equipment to "a minimum
by which he got great chances O.
doing quick journeys. The food h,
carried along was greatly compress
ed, and did not weigh more than Oh,

start began. were In splendid condi-
ton. The Eskimos think 1t OF great
Importance that the dogs on starting
had not been fed on pemmican. but
ON fresh meat.
ITO sum up: The Eskimos think
that Cook reached his goal. and
that during the voyage he showed
great nerve and energy. The Eski-
mos are very glad that the pole
has been discovered. as the many
expeditions which during the last
years have been sent from their re-
gions took away from the tribe their
best men. They are at the same time
very proud OF Itnkusuk and Apilak.

never have reached his goal without
them.
The above facts must be looked

MET THEIR DEATHS

Woman Searching For Her Husband Finds His Body Beside That of an Old Man.s

Portland, Ore, March S.--A myste- rious tragedy was revealed today when Mrs oscar Hiett, during search for her young husband, who had been absent from home all night, visited a shooting preserve on Co., lumbia Slough and there found the bodies of her husband and an old man named John Dale. A rifle bull let had shattered the side of Hiett's head anA deep wound on the head from an axe disclosed the cause of Dale's death. Both men were lying on the ground near an old cabin and between them lay the axe and a rifle, the weapons used in the slaugh- ter
 Whether the old man shot the younger and was then beaten with the axe by Hiett until he dropped dead, or a third man was the mur- derer, may never be known. The former theory is held by the police The old man and Hiett, who had hardly entered upon his twenties, had been companions for a long time until recently the younger took to himself a wife. After that the old man apparently grew jealous of the boys wife and they quarreled ire quently.

THE BLOOD
 IF: CARMACK Gals For Vengeance Against
 the CoOpers PROSECUTIONS ARGUMENT
Capt. Fitzhugh Destroys the Theory That the Elder Cooper is a Southern Gen. tleman or That His Son is an Innocent Boy.

Nashville, March S.-After Captain Fitzhugh had completed the opening argument for the state this afternoon in the case against Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharpe, charged with the murder of former Senator Edward w. Carmack. Judge Hart ordered the jury with drawn, and said: T asked the audience to remain until after the jury was dis missed in order that I might do some thing I have never done before. I want to thank you for the splendid or der preserved today. In spite of the splendid bursts of eloquence from the speakers, there has not been a single demonstration"
 Captain F'itzhugh spoke more than five hours. He was a close friend of Senator Carmack, and he is in the case at the special request of Mrs. Carmack.
 There will be many arguments made to you" he said, ''to touch your hearts. You will be asked to be gen erous and sympathetic. They will talk to you of this boy Why, gentlemen, he is 27 years old, and some of the BTedleSl slCHltNtintHlS Ol Iltu Hdht been accomplished before a man is 30, and they will point to Colonel Cooper as a gentleman of the old school, as the last flower of the old southern chivalry.
 Do you believe it? Was he a gen tleman when he used that awful lan- guage in the presence of Miss Lee? And when they talk to you of sympa- thy. just look over there. You see in sable garments the widow of Carmack. You see on her arm the ten-year-old boy who was the pride of Carmack's life. Did Duncan Cooper or Robin think of this widow or this boy when they shot down the husband or the father?
 "The question to be decided is. whether the law is to be enforced. If murder is to be committed in the streets of our city without fear of pun ishment, can you tell who will be the next victim? The very liberty of the press is at stake, the security of the common people"
