Brains Out.

Lewistovn. July 15.-Ted Ross, pro-
prietor OF the Ross Ice Cream parlors,
shot and instantly killed his wife in the
kitchen of the Day hotel at noon today,
fatally wounded Enid Melton, IA year
old girl from Benchland who had come
to the hotel seeking employment, and
then blew his own brains out.
The shooting was done with revolver,
and occupied but a few secnods, Ross
coming in close to his wife and began
shooting without word, three bullets
striking her. two being through the heart
The little girl attempted to rise from a
chair where she was sitting and was shot
in the back, the bullet coming out in her
neck, severing her windpipe, and it is
not believed that she can recover.
Ross then placed his pistol against his
own temple and pulled the trigger, the
five shots being fired in almost that many
seconds.
The woman was 81 years Of age, twice
and leaves two children, boy
and girl, aged 16 and 13. The couple
had not lived together for two weeks, the
wife taking job as cook IN the kitchen

about 40 years of age and seemed insane
to those who met him just before the
shooting. The dining room was full Of
guests at the noon meal at the time of
the shooting, and for a time there was
almost panic The couple came to Lew

LIQUOR IS LOST
Dry Extremists In House
Will Renew Attempt
to Enact Invasion.

Washington, July ia mans right
to keep liquor in his own home, which
stood the test before the house judiciary
committee, must take its chances now in
the house.
Notice was served on the committee,
today. by one of its members, that when
the house resumes consideration Of the
prohibition enforcement measure al
amendment would be offered to make it
unlawful for a person to retain posses
sion Of liquor stored prior to July |. The
committee, in framing the general en-
forcement measure, eliminated the sec
ton which would have made home stor-
age illegal, but the big majority polled
cepted in some quarters to mean that
the bill will be made more drastic.
The prohibition measure was not TAX
en- up today, the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill having the right Of way. and
neither can it be called tomorrow, which
is calendar Wednesday, except by unani-
nous consent. After that the agricul-
tural appropriation bill will have privi-
ledged status, and prohibition leaders
do not expect to resume work on the
measure before Thursday or Friday.
The only reference to prohibition on
the floor, today, was BY Representative
Blanton. democrat, Of Texas, who want
ed stricken from the record the speech
by Representative Gallivan, democrat, Of
Massachusetts, charging that members
of congress had boarded large quantities
of liquor. Speaker Gillett ruled, how
ever, that Mr.. Gallivan's remarks were
in order.
The judiciary committee held brief
executive session and considered minor
changes in the bill, relating to sale of

Seattle, July 15.-After celebrating
less than one hour, the coroner's jury
empannelled to determine the cause Of
the death of Frederick A. Dowzy, a
secret service operative, here, July j.,
returned a verdict that Dowzy died of
natural causes, probably appoplexy, and
was not murdered as had been alleged.
Conflicting evidence was given the
jury by several physicians.
Deputy Coroner Frank Koepfli. OF
King county, who assisted in the autopsy
on the body immediately after it was
found in a washroom in an office build

from natural causes and that the wound
