Girl Was : ,
Abducted

Immediately after leaving the
Spanaway Methodist church, after
choir practice late Saturday night,
lone Adams, pretty 15-year-old
daughter of Mrs. John Himoe,
disappeared and has not been seen
since. She left a half dozen 9TH
er choir singers and went on her
way to the home of A. A. Holdall,
but two blocks away, where she
was staying.
A young man by the name OF
rostedan offered to drive the
crowd home in his wagon, and all
jumped in but Miss Adams, who
told them It was but a step home
and that she would cut across and
be there in no time. The party,
after leaving the girl. heard no
screams for help and noticed moth
ing suspicious in the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Holdall, groceryman, at
whose home the girl was staying
in order to attend the Spanaway
school, became alarmed late al
night and looked toward the
church. Seeing the lights out, he
decided the girl had gone to some
friends house for the night anc
thought no more about It until
yesterday morning, when she did
not appear.
The girls mother and stepfather
believe the girl has been waylaid
by tramps. They say that there
were no domestic troubles such
as would cause the girl to run
away of her own accord, and that
as far as they knew she had nc
love affair.
Mr.. Himoe interviewed the con.
ductor of the late Spanaway cal
for trace of any suspicious pas
serger, without result. All Spana-
way is aroused over the affair
and are out searching the woods
for a clue.

STRIKERS

By United Press Leased Wire.
SACRAMENTO, Oct. 2.-The
rumble of a sympathetic
strike of trainmen to supplement
the walkout of the shopmen, is
heard here today. Already en-
gineers, firemen, hostlers and wip-
ers are wincing beneath the heavy
addition to their usual burden of
work. The whole mechanical or
ganization of the Southern Pa
cific has been upset by the almost
complete walk-out of the machine

Tacoma taxpayers seem to be

At least none of them appeared
this morning to urge any reduc-

The commission therefore rati-

will produce about SIS, ,000 less

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Admiral
w. s. Schley dropped dead in
Forty-fourth street near the cor
ner of Fifth avenue today. He
had long suffered from heart dis
ease.
In recent years the admiral was
notable for his championing OF
Or. Frederick A. Cooks claim to
being the discoverer of the North
Pole.
Since his retirement from active
service, he had lived quietly In
Washington and New York.
Admiral Schley arrived here
today. He went to the New York
Yacht club and chatted with
friends there, after which he
started to walk to the home OF
his son, DIR. Winfield Schley, on
West Forty-fifth street. He had
gone scarcely a block when he
staggered and fell. Physicians
were summoned and declared that
death had been practically instan-
taneouS.
Admiral Winfield Scott Sch1ey
would have been 72 years old in a
week. He was appointed to the
United States naval academy in
1856 and graduated in 1860. His
promotion was rapid and by 1874
he had come to be commodore.
He was appointed rear admiral in
1899.
During the war with Spain
Schley commanded the flying
squadron" and he was in im-
mediate command of the Ameri-
can vessels In the attack on San
tiago de Cuba, which resulted In
the destruction of Admiral Ger
vera's fleet. A memorable con-
troversy followed this battle as
to whether the credit for the VIC
tory belonged to Schley or to Adj
miral Sampson.
For two years following the
war, Admiral Schley was COM
mander-in-chief of the South At
lantic squadron, retiring in 1901.
