FALSE REPORT
ABOUT SUICIDE
Asserted Today That James TObin
Was Suffering From an Attack of
PtOmaine POisoning-1Is in Bad
Shape But May Pull Through

The report circulated yesterday eve
ming that James Tobin, the prominent
pioneer Genesee country farmer, had
attempted suicide at his home, is to-
day said to have been untrue and that
there is no foundation for the report.
Mr.. Tobin is said to have become sud
denly ill at his home near Genesee
and his family sent for physicians,
who on their arrival, pronounced it a
case of poisoning.
Friends of Mr. Tobin from Moscow
visited him last evening and today re-
port that physicians are in constant
attendance on him and that he is in
bad shape but likely to recover. 1t
is said that the family expressed the
belief that the poisoning was due to
that he had ate. Mr.. Tobin
is an extensive farmer and was for
merly engaged in railroad construc-
tion work, and is a member of both
the Elks lodge and the knights of Col
umbus. 1t is said he is in fine financial
shape and that there is no reason why
he should wish to take his own life

SECRET SERVICE
GUARDED WILSON
LARGE FORCE AT PRESIDENTS
SUMMER HOME TO PROTECT HIM

Always a Force of Operatives Trailing

Allowed to Pass Him

By the United Press Associations.
WINDSOR, Vt, July July 16.-Few
persons realize today, not even the
natives of this section how carefully
the president was guarded on his re-
cent visit here. 1t was officially de-
MED that any extra or unusual pre-
cautions were taken, the third time The
president has occupied ''Harlakenden
there was a young army of secret serv-
ice men on guard day and night.
IS. S."-as the secret service is
known-headquarte were maintain
ed in a room, in the village postoffice
in this city. Private telephones con-
nected the presidents home and the
secret service operatives also had a
private phone system. They worked
in shifts, taking turns patrolling the
grounds of the "Harlakenden estate
during the night.
Joe" Murphy, chief of the White
House squad, was in charge OF the
presidential bodyguard Extra opera
tives, in addition to the regular White
House force, were brought from Bos-
ton and New York.
Chief Flynn, head of the secret serv-
ice, personally supervised measures
taken for protection of the president.
He came here several days in advance
of the president and was also here
when the presidents train pulled in.
In addition to the known dozen IS. S"
men it is understood there were 9TH
ers here unknown, some possibly even
to the regular staff.
The secret service men had special
automobiles to follow the president or
all his drives through the surrounding
mountain country "Joe" Murphy sat
in the president own car and another
loaded with operatives trailed closely
that obtaining the chief executive. On
the country drives, no automobile or
team was allowed to pass the pres
ident from behind. This rule, while
well known in Washington, was quick
ly learned by persons driving vehi-
cles in this section

Beginning with the current school
terms, commencing September 1st,
Idaho takes a long step forward
educationally, in offering all the boys
and girls within her border free
schooling from the primary grades
through the high school and the high
er institutions of learning. Hereto
fore only elementary school and col
lege education have been free to all,
leaving the four years of high school
Sn important link and girls who are
SO fortunate as to be located in
district offering such work. The four
years of high school today, with their
wide range of diversified interests,
offer work that is superior to that of
the college of a generation ago. In
fact the great majority Of boys and
girls never go beyond the high school,
and the high school is more and more
becoming a finishing school,
The tuition fee has been a bar
rier that has deferred thousands OF
country boys and girls from fitting
themselves for a more efficient career,
but this is now matter of past his

opens, the Moscow high school in

SHRINERS ENJOY
SNOWFALL FIGHT
Many of the Members Of the Order at
Seattle JOurneyed to Mount Rainier
and Climbed the Snow Clad Noun

By the United Press Associations
SEATTLE, July 16.-Led by the del
egates to the Imperial council meeting
which yesterday closed it's forty-frst
annual session in this city, several
thousand Shriners today snowballed
each other on the slopes of Mount
Rainer crawled over glaciers; ex-
plored ice caves, discovered new wild
flowers and even scaled the summit of
the great peak.
Loaded with red fez wearers, spe-
cial trains left Seattle shortly after
sunrise and arrived at the Rainer Ma
tional Park during the morning. At
ter luncheon at the Inn they went
out on the side of the mountain under
the care of trained guides, visiting
Paradise Valley and several of the
noted glaciers.
Tonight the fasteners will sleep on
the mountains and tomorrow afternoon
will return to Seattle. While a por-
ton of the delegates and Shrine men,
bers were making the junket to Mount
Rainier, several thousand more board
ed an ocean-going steamer and cruiS-
er for the entire day on Puget Sound,
going west to the foot of the Olympic
mountains and the strait of Juan de
Fuca, and north as far as the Canad-
ian boundary.
Several bands accompanied the
travellers and played at Everett, Ana
cortes, Bellingham, and other cities
visited.

TONG WAR ON IN
FRISCO CHINATOWN
Death Turks in Every Shadow for
Members OF Opposing TOngs in Pa
cific Coast TOwns-Greatest Trouble
in San Francisco

cific Coast TOwns-Greatest Trouble
in San Francisco
BY the United Press Associations.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-Terror
turks in every Chinatown on the Pa
cifc coast today, because of the tong
war which is being waged, in dark
ness and in secret, between the Suey
Sings and the Sen Sueys. The strife
is especially bitter here. Gunmen
crouch in every shadow, stalking their
prospective victims under the very
eyes of-the police. The Big On Tong
is reported to be on the verge of join
ing the fray, while several other pow
erful organizations are preparing for
hostilities.
With the tongs it appears to be a
point of honor never to cease the con-
f1ict unless the tally of killed and
wounded during the war is even. Thus,
when attempts were made to end the
present hostilities, the Sen Sueys
would listen to no peace proposals un-
til they had evened up the score.
Hatchmen prowled the gloomy streets
of Chinatown. There were shots in
the night, hurry calls for the patrol
wagon, scufflings and sudden death.
Now the Suey Sing tong has an
nounced that it will not talk about
peace unless the Sen Sueys agree not
to prosecute any Suey Sing men on
charges growing out of war.
