A REAL EXPLORER
First Woman to Visit Parts of

SHE HAD AN EXTENSIVE TRIP.

Making Her Home Among the Para

 Rice Accompanied Her Distinguished
 Husband Through South America.
 With a homemade wireless outfit In the prlmeyal forests of the interior of South America, thousands of miles from home, the party which accompa- nied pr. and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice on their recent exploration were in constant touch with this country and the news of the world as the United States entered the war against Germany.
 The Rice party returned recently after an extended trip on the steam yacht Alberta. We carried a home

made wireless apparatus" said pr. Rice. describing his adventures, "con- structed by a man who had been in Brazil and knew the requirements. And it was simply wonderful to be able to be in those primeval forests thousands of miles away and receive from the Arlington station the tickings that spelled so much for science.
 After New Years day we started back from the first stage of the trip which took Us 2.1OO miles up the Anna zon river to IquitOS, Peru, which Is HOO miles farther than Commodore Benedict took his yacht, the Oneida, several years ago.
 We started back, stopping at Ma uaOs. a thousand miles from the mouth of the Amazon. Leaving the Alberta at Manuos. We went on our tour of ex- ploration up the Rio Negro in a forty foot launch especially constructed for that purpose.
 Mrs. Rice is the first white woman who ever penetrated that almost inaC- cessible region of the South American continent. She bore the hardships and dangers of the expedition most cOur- ageOusIy and was received with a re Spect bordering upon worship by the native women. They knew me from my previous trips there during the if teen years of exploration which l have spent in those regions and were un- tiring in their efforts to lend every as- sistauce in their power. I speak their language, Tupi Guarani, which is the vernacular Indian means of communi- cation throughout Brazil from Para quay to Venezuela.
 These Indians are a very hOspitable and intelligent people. They would not accept money, but we brought them many presents of knives, fishhooks, jewelry. macheteS, looking glasses and beads and left them a gOOdIy store of medicines, with instructions how to use them.
 "One of the purposes of our expedl. tion was to make a good Photographic and geological map of the Rio Negro, to link up the work on which have been engaged so many years-the mak- ing of a map of the northwest Amazon valley. Another purpose was to test the practicability of determining the difference of longitude by wireless te- legraphy. To accomplish this we en- ployed the Arlington stations signals, using Washington as the primary meri- dian. being thus enabled to check up secondary and tertiary meridians.'
 Mrs. Rice was the widow of George D. Widener, who perished on the Lusi- tania.

BODY OF SEATTLE WOMAN
FOUND IN LONELY GULCH

Seattle. April 1S.-The body of Mrs.
Florence Wehn, a young woman, the
wife of Charles A. Wehn, a sculptor,
was found this morning at the bottom
of a gulch on West Wheeler street
in the Queen Anne district, near her
home. She had evidently been struck
over the head and her body dragged
from the street to the gulch.
Mrs. Wehn's hand was cut and
there were other evidences that she
had fought with her assailant. a
clump of her own hair was found
plastered TO her breast BY clot Of
blood. Her hand bag lay near by.
Boys playing in the gulch came upon
the body.
Mrs. Wehn was daughter Of Paul
Haubris, a policeman stationed at
headquarters
Mrs. Wehn, who was 26 years Of
age and attractive, had passed the
evening at a birthday celebration at
her fathers house and departed for
her own home about l0:30 o'clock. 1t
must have been about II o'clock when
she left a street car near her home
The deputy coroner gave it is his
opinion that the woman died about 4
o'clock and the attack upon her was
made apparently about II. so that she
lay in the brush alive for hours after
her assailant fled. Her clothing was
torn from her by her assailant.
James A. Wehn, the woman's hus-
band, had more than local reputation
for his sculptoral work, notably in
medallions. He made the statue of
Chief Seattle that stands at Fifth
avenue and Cedar street, Seattle.
In another part of the city a young
woman was attacked by an unknown
man about midnight and found two
hours later, bound with ropes, where
