BOISE BOY KILLED BY AUTO
Allan Pearson Killed by Machine Driy-
en- by f. N. Mickey.

Allan Pearson, aged years, is dead
and Frank M. Mickey, a chauffeur is
under arrest charged with manslaugh-
ter. as the result Of another automo-
bile accident on the valley road last
evening at 6:10 o'clock, when a ma
chine driven by Mr.. Mickey circled
around wagon and struck the little
boy, who was following in the rear,
breaking his neck and killing him in
stantly.
The unfortunate lad was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Pearson, residents
of the Hubbell Home addition, this side
of the soldiers home. Mrs Pearson
had gone to church and Mr.. Pearson
was coming toward the city to visit his
brother His son was following him
about 100 yards in the rear. Mr. Pear
son did not see the accident, but heard
the crash and at first thought the
automobile had gone into ditch. He
turned around seeing it had struck
someone and ran back, receiving the
lifeless body of his son which was put
into his arms by James fleming, an
old soldier, who witnessed the accident
and had picked up the childs body.
Death was instantaneous.
Mr.. Pearson did not believe at
first his boy was dead and he was
rushed to the hospital, but it was found
life was extinct When it was learned
that the neck was broken it was
certain that death was instantaneous,
AIRS. Pearson was summoned from
church to the hospital and upon being
informed of the death of her child
she tainted, but later revived and was
able to go home.
According to Mr. Pearson, the auto
mobile which struck his son passed
him going at high rate of speed.
Mr.. Fenning, who was probably the
closest eye witness of the tragedy was
almost directly across the road when
the accident occurred. The hoy, he
stated, was in the rear of buggy and
had stepped to one side as the auto
mobile swung out to pass the team.
The crash came almost instantly, the
machine knocking the boy down and
running over him, stopping a short dis
lance beyond.
Mr.. Mickey, who was driving the car,
refused to make any statement con-
corning the sad accident. He has been
in the employ of the M. & II. garage
and has also driven for Dr. Towle
and was using the physicians car last
night when the accident happened. In
the car with him at the time was his
sister and brother-in-law and some
young woman who he was taking out
for ride.
Mrs. Pearson states that owing to
the speeding down the valley road,
she has often warned her boy to be
NJ automobiles and declares he
was very watchful.

EXPOSITION PLANS EXPANDING
Services of Miss Mulkey Secured for
Idaho Next Year.

Commissioner Reed has secured the
services of Miss e. l.. Mulkey of San
Francisco to assist j. w. Jones in in
stalling the Idaho exhibit at San Fran
cisco.
Miss Mulkey has adopted profess
sion most unusual for woman, but
one in which she has made the great
est success, that of designing and exc
cutting large spectacular parades. She
has put on the last five of the Port
land Rose" carnival parades, the
Pot latch parade of Seattle in 1912,
the last two parades of the Wizard of
the Wasatch,' and many large pa
geants ON the coast.
Asked how she happened to take up
SO unusual a profession, Miss Mulkey
said, well, to begin with, | come of
family of artists and then | was
born and lived until recently in New
Orleans, and you know that that
means being fairly stepped in Mardi
Gras atmosphere. 1t really came nat
urally, with my artistic training and
ny acquaintance with the late Mr..
Harper, who put on all the Mardi Gras
parades for the past 40 years. | fell
naturally into it, Miss Mulkey re-
ceived her training under Mr.. Haprer,
Miss Mulkey is highly imaginative
and she first makes her sketch of the
parade as she wishes it to be as a
whole, then she commences her work
ing drawings and finally she actually
builds the floats. She has special
process of making models from papier
mache which have all the appearance
of genuine sculpture. She has been
commissioned to make reproduction

devices of every description have been
taken from prisoners in Henrico County
games OF chance will no longer be
countenanccd in the prison cells. Jaiier
X. G. Garnett thinks gambling is one
OF the greatest evils OF the present
| time. and he Is determined to stop it
in the Jail at least. His task is n
hard one, he confessed yesterday
In tho jail arc many who have long
followed, with little success, the path
of the flckle goddess. Chance. Love
OF the game is life to them. Some
or these prisoners arc "profcasionals,''
and given pair of dice they can shoot
the natural, or roll box cars with
apparent ease. every time the bones
roll" The jailer thinks II was their
ability t" pull such stunts that ''made
them what they are to-day" and his
idea is to do some reform work in
Ia small way. He says il is all very
discouraging though.
y group of negro prisoners were
gathered about i'm a circle in one of
the cells yesterday afternoon when the
jailcr came to the grated door. APP
parently they were greatly Interested.
When he asked them what they were
doing they al! looked guilty. and said
! in concert, Nothing" The Jailer
knew In reason the prisoners had no
dice or cards, but everything indicated
that game was on. He went in and
had look. A pair OF dice, clevcrly
carved from bar OF soap. is what
he found. With his heel the jailer
crushed the Imitation cubes as if they
had been serpents.
Boneless food, fish excepted. is being
served the prisoners now Last week
the jailer discovered /. crap game
in progress. The bones" In use. he
found, were real "bones," carved from
y ham bone one OF the prisoners had
gotten along with his dinner. III they
get mold OF a pair of dice" said the
tailer yesterday, they will shoot for
matches just-'like they had n million
At stake" With tho sporting element
among the prisoners the stakes don't
mattcr-the games the thing.
Frequent fights and squabbics among
tho prisoners over care, or dice games
Ia one OF the reasons the jailer decided
To break up gambling in the prison. An
officer at the Jail yesterday told of n
foreign hobo. who, when arrested
ana searched at the Jail Thursday, had
four decks OF playing cards on his per-
son. What was the prisoners name ?"
| the officer was asked. II don't know

himself He couldn't pronounce his
