Seattle, May 10. Eames of Ia
coma, who entered a suicide pact
with Mrs. Grace Burke, formerly
Portland girl, which was fulfilled by
her Saturday afternoon, will probably
be prosecuted under the state law
for aiding the womans death. He
may be charged with manslaughter,
for it is the aim of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Vandeveer to probe in the fur
nishing of the gun used by the wo-
man and in purchasing poison, show
ing that Eames aided the woman in
self destruction. Eames is being held
in the city Jail in solitary confinement.
The police think that Eames did not
take the poison, and that his part
was all bluff" Earhes says he was
just joshing the woman about the
pact.
Under the present law any person
deliberately assisting another to com
NIT suicide is guilty of manslaughter.
! The supreme court holds, however,
that no person can be convicted on
his own uncorroborated confession.

BASEBALL FANS AMONG
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS

1t is the irony of fate that, not
withstanding the fact that the WASH
ington baseball club numbers among
its enthuiastic supporters the presi-
dent and vice president of the United
States and a number of other distin-
guished personages, who are on hand
every day that public business will
permit to root for the home team,
that they've had the hardest kind Of
time winning games.
A lot of the leading lights of the
government are afflicted with the
baseball fever. The ball park often
resembles a hall of fame. Vice Pres
ident Sherman is perhaps the most
enthusiastic fan among the leading
lights He knows a lot about the
game and takes the greatest delight
in the world in keeping score-just
as the ordinary garden variety of fan
does, The president, who has at
tended one game here and says he's
going to repeat the performance as
often as possible, can't keep score, but
nevertheless he knows when to ap-
plaud
Senator Crane of Massachusetts,,
would rather see a baseball game than
eat. He is an expert pitcher himself
and knows the game from A to z. Then
there is Representative Tener of
Pennsylvania, who was a professional
baseball player. Tener can't content
himself with merely looking on, ana
has applied to the manager OF the
team here for permission to practice
with the team every morning, just for
exercise and to keep his eye sharp.
Senator Culberson of Texas, and
Senator Scott of West Virginia, are
both frequent visitors at the park.
The latter is one Of the most dyed
in the wool" rooters for the home
team and he gets excited as a small
boy in the bleachers.
Representative Vreeland of New
York, is one of the foremost fans on
the house side of the capitol. He SOL
emnly keeps score and knows the
rules by heart.

EUGENE DESPERATE
NOT YET SURROUNDED

Eugene, Ore, May 17.-Sheriff
Harry Brown made a fresh start from
here this morning searching for the
desperados who shot at Mrs. VIM
Renshaw and killed her horse on the
road near Eugene three days ago He
has eluded the posse ever since
Brown expects to meet the robber on
the road, as the posse had the man
surrounded in the thicket near Drain
Saturday night, but he escaped, dis
playing remarkable skill in lodging
the posses. The farmers are nervous
because it is not known what time
they win be attacked by a robber
known to be armed. Posses have al
ready covered 81 miles in a manhunt
lasting three days. The whole south
ern Oregon is watchful.

ing for four years for his liberty, and

Spokane, Wash, May 17.-Great
Northern passenger train No. 8 was
help up by two masked robbers be-
tween Mead and Colbert shortly be-
fore midnight Saturday night. The
mail car and the engine were detach-
ed and taken by the robbers three
miles east of Hillyard, where the mails
were rifled. The engine was then re-
yersed and sent back down the track,
where 1t crashed into the standing
train.
When the collision occurred a
number of the passengers, 1t is re-
ported, were injured A hurry call
was sent to Hillyard for doctors, who
were rushed to the scene In a special
train carrying the officers.
The train was left standing several
miles from a telegraph station, where
one of the trainmen was sent to no.
tify the Spokane office of the old
up.
According to the report at Hill
yard, the robbers have obtained booty
amounting to more than $4,000 from
the mail car.
Two Men Drop Into Cab.
The train was running at fast rate
at Davis brick yard, IA miles east
of Spokane, when two masked rob-
bers crawled down from the tender
and with drawn revolvers ordered the
engineer, William Miller, to stop the
train.
When Miller obeyed, he and the
fireman, John r. Hall, were ordered
from the cab and commanded q un-
couple the mailcar from the train.
When this was done the two ruffians
boarded the engine and went flying
down the track at a rapid pace.
The train was in charge of B. f.
Robertson, conductor He hurried
from the car when the train stopped,
but was kept back by the shots from
the revolvers Of the robbers, who
stood guard while the enginemen

ATHLETES GONE
HERE MAY 25
DATE OF THE EASTERN
OREGON MEET CHANGED
Conflicted With Date for Corvallis
Field Day-Eastern Oregon Inter-
scholastic Oratorlcal Contest Will Be
Held Here at Same Time-Change
of Date VIII Inconvenience PEN
dleton Team More Than Others.

Owing to a conflict of dates the
big eastern Oregon meet will be held
in Pendleton Tuesday, May %, in
stead of Saturday, May %. The
change in the date was made neces-
sary by the refusal of the manage
ment of the state meet in Corvallis to
change its date from May 81 to %,
As the Pendleton athletes as well as
those from Baker City and La Grande
were anxious to take part in the o. A.
c. Meet it became necessary to change
the date for the eastern Oregon con-
test.
The date of the eastern oregon in
terscholastic oratorical conest has al
so been changed and will be held in
this city the evening Of the day of
the field meet.
The changing of the date is more
inconvenient to the members of the
Pendleton team thon those of the
other schools for the reason that the
Pendleton school is out this week and
the boys are anxious to scatter as
soon as possible. The other high
school teams will stop here on their
way back from Corvallis.
The local representatives in the
Corvallis meet will be Nat Kimball,
Chester Gordan, Glen Storie and Tom
Boylen.
Kimball is eligible to represent the
eastern Washington team in its big
big meet against the western Wash
ington athletes, but as the meet is to
be held in Pullman the same days
as the one at Corvallis he will not be
able to participate in both contests

No Arrests Made.

Spokane, May 17,-Uater.) Mo
arrests have been made in the hold-up
of the Great Northern train fourteen
miles from Spokane Saturday night.
The police believe that the same two
men who held up the Northern Pa
cific train near Hauser Junction and
rifled the mail two weeks ago, and
the Great Northern train west Of
Spokane last November are the same
who robbed the mail car Saturday
night.
If the men are caught and prove
to be the same involved in all the
robberies the total reward of sixty
four thousand dollars will be paid
for the capture by the government,
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific. Postal authorities think that
little money was taken.
