FORMER SENATOR FULTON IN EXCITING ADVENTURE
 
(By Associated Press)

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 29.-While he was living in Astoria, Ore, about twenty years ago. former Senator Full ton, who died yesterday, nearly lost his life in a tragedy that illustrated the physical courage that was always a marked characteristic.
 Fulton had summer home at Sea side, a resort near the mouth of the Columbia river, when the cottages there were TeOpened for the summer season, it was found that many, Full ton among the others, had been footed. A caretaker named Charles Willard, was under suspicion. Willard, who called himself a Texan, was an un- communicative man known as a dead shot, and one of his tricks was to shoot cOrks thrown into the surf.
 When Fulton, at Astoria, learned of the robberies, he went to Seaside, with Sheriff Jack Williams and Deputy Sheriff Lambert and joined a Seaside constable in visit to Willard's cabin Willard threw open a window, rifle in hand, in reply to their knocking. but allowed them to enter. Articles iden, tified by Fulton were found. The visitors told Willard to come with them to Fulton's cottage for further investigation, which he did, carrying his rifle. Fulton and the constable entered the cottage, when shots called them outside. Williams lay dead, Lam bert, fatally wounded held the man he had been told to guard in his weak ening graps. Willard, freeing a hand shot the constable in the hip. Fulton then clubbed Willard into insensibil ity, as he supposed, and had started off for help when he saw Willard propped on his elbows taking a bead on his rifle. Fulton drew his revolver and fired. By the quickness and ac curacy of this shot. Fulton saved his own life at the expense of the rob ber's.

ARMY POSITIONS ARE PROVIDED
 .FOR WOMEN
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Russell Sage Foun- dation and member of the committee on women in industry of the advisory commission of the council of National defense, has prepared a bulletin refer ring to the employment of women in the storage and warehousing depots of the United States army.
 Under the auspices of the storage committee of the war ind stries board of the council of National defense Miss Van Kleeck conducted an investi- gation which covered the defects of
 he ordnance department, the quarter. master corps, and the medical depart. ment of the war department in Bos- ton, Springfield, Mass, New York Philadelphia, Norfolk, Jeffersonville and Atlanta.
 Already women are being employed in several of these depots as clerKs, stenographeTs and telephone opera tors. More recently they have under taken the work of Inspection of a limited number of articles, and in one
 ooot they have been employed as packers.
 It is evident that much of the work is too heavy for women, and this is the chief objection to their employ. ment. Miss Van Kleeck suggests leav- ing the heavier tasks to men while women assure some of the light work now done by the men.
 In England, according to informa- tiOn given by representatives of the ministry of munitions in this country women are now employed in all the processes of storage work.
 The successful employment of wo- men, Miss Van Kleeck declares, will depend upon carefully supervised ex- periments and upon provision for over sight of their work and it's conditions by woman supervisor in each depot
 Miss Van Kleecks bulletin has just been issued by the storage committee of the war industries board of the Ma tional council of defense.
