AUTOPSY HELD AT ANCHORAGE FAILS

PARTS BODY WOMAN TAKEN TO FAIRBANKS, FURTHER
 EXAMINATION, COLLEGE
Anchorage Times

An autopsy was held in the An chOrage Funeral ParlorS to deter mine the cause of the death Of Alfred Danieloff and Billie Stephan, who were burned in a cabin fire in Kenai on December 23, which will result in clearing Steve Ephim of charges of man slaughter.
 One Of the bodies had a clearly defined indentation over the heart and another hole to correspond with 1t was located just below the shoulder blade. Without an ex- animation, these holes gave the appearance of bullet having passed through the body The skulls of both bodies were so badly burned as to make 1t appear that they had been dealt blow on the base of the skull.
 At the time of the finding ot the bodies in the ruined cabin, the evidence showed that the door had been locked from the outside before the fire.
 Steve Ephim, the owner of the cabin, told different stories upon being taken into custody and questioned as to his knowledge oi the affair
 X-Ray pictures of the supposed wounds failed to show any depth 10 the holes There was no evi-. dence of the passage of a bullet thru the body, and there was no outside matter shown to have en- tered the chest cavity. Upon the examination of the interior of the bodies, the heart was found to be normal and intact. The supposed wound in the back, below the shoulder, also showed that the hole did not penetrate the chest cavity. No ribs or other bones had been shattered and the lungs of both men showed that they had met death through saffosAtion, and no cause could be found to be otherwise.
 The appearance of both heads 1ed officials to believe that ehn men had received blows at ttie

The Rockville Fair.

The directors of the Agricultural Society
of Montgomery County have elected Clar-
ence L. Gilpin. of Olney. president: Ohio
C. Trundle. of Gaithersburg. secretary. aud
Miss Anna Gilpin. of Olney. vice-presdent.
Mr.. Trundle has also been made treasurer
to succeed the late Perrie E. Waters.
The directors have decided to hold the
annual Rockville Fair but three days this
year. instead of four as for many years.
and have selected August Is. 10 and 20
as the dates. The curtailment was agreed
upon on the theory that much expense
would be saved by Topping off the fourth
day, always Improbable, and the aggre-
gate attendance would probably not suffer.
The program for the big event is now
being arranged and is expected to be an
nounced in the near future. 1t has so far
been definitely decided to observe the first
day as children's day and to stage pony
show and pony races as leading features,
to provide more elaborate free acts than
Formerly and to have the usual displays
of fireworks on the second and third nights
on a much larger scale.

Child Killed By Car.

Three-year-old Wallace N. Miller, of Sill
yer Spring. was almost instantly killed last
Saturday night when struck and run over
by an automobile operated by Geo. Barnes
20 years old, Silver Spring, in front of his
home on Sligo avenue. Silver Spring. This
was the fourth accident at this place in
the past month,
The child was carried to the Garfield
Hospital by Raymond Murphy, of Silver
Spring, but pronounced dead on arrival,
Barnes was taken into custody by Police
man Joseph Nolte and taken to the Silver
Spring Satisfaction. Following a conversa-
tion between >ergt. Guy L. Jones, precinct
commander, and States Attorney Stedman
Prescott, the driver was held on $500 bond
on technical charge of manslaughter. He
will be given hearing in the county police
court at Rockville, probably Saturday.
Barnes said the child ran from the front
yard, which has no fence into the path of
his car, and that he did not have time to
stop before hitting him. Barnes said he
was proceeding west toward Georgia ave.
nue. at the time of the accident.
The boy was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Mason Miller and his death is the culmi-
nation of long series of misfortunes which
have beset the family in the past two years.
The father is suffering with heart trouble
and high blood pressure and has been unable
to work for the past 8 months. The mother
has been striving bravely to keep the little
brood of nine children together and provide
them with education and clothes on their
tiny income. The baby of the family died
about year ago. Neighbors were high in
their praise for the mother.
When the news of the childs death was
brought to the mother, she gathered the chill
dren together and cautioned them against
giving vent to their grief for fear it would
cause an increase in the fathers affection.
Excited by news of the tragedy, Mrs.
Leonard Hardesty. neighbor. fell down
the steps of her home and broke leg.

Cabin John Hotel Burned.

The old Cabin John Bridge Hotel, rich 10
historic lore and tradition. was destroyed
by fire early last Monday morning.
The rambling old hostelry, which has
stood on its present site practically I'M
changed since the days of the Civil War,
was once favorite gathering place for the
elect of Washington. Cabil ct members,
Congressman, diplomats and social leaders
of the national Capital formerly gathered
there for evenings of entertainment its
spacious ball room or its elaborate gardens.
Only the front portion of the structure 8
shell is standing today and that will be
RACED shortly. Although the hotel had not
been in use for four years. it was completely
furnished. many of the pieces being an
tiques of considerable value. Nothing was
saved. Mrs. William H. Bobinger, the
present owner. said the hotel was not in
sured. She was unable to estimate the
monetary loss.
Built of wood the building burned fiercely
and the glow could be seen for miles.
Seven Montgomery County fire depart
ments and No. 20 engine company of
the District Fire Department responded to
the alarm. but when the first of them ar
rived the flames were shooting high above
the cupolas which surmounted the roof.
In the course of the fire fighting, one
of the firemen sustained a slight injury.
He was Howard King of the Cabin John
Park Volunteer Fire Department. He fell
about is feet from the ladder when the
pressure in the hose he was holding became
so great that he could not maintain his
foothold. His forehead was cut. Fellow
firemen took him to the Office of DR.. W. O.
Huff in Bethesda, who took six Stitches in
the wound. After treatment King returned
to the fire.
There was no indication of the origin of
the blaze. Although wired, the electricity
had been cut off and the place was not
heated. The theory advanced by the fire.
men was that tramp staying in the hotel
accidentally set fire to it.
The Bethesda Volunteer Fire Department.
the first company to reach the scene. wa |
called at 2:45 O'Clock in the morning. The |
other departments responding were from |
Ca bin John Park. Silver Spring. Kensineton.
Rockville. Chevy Chase. and Takoma Park |
At one time II streams of water were play
Ing on the flames.
Late in the morning the ruins were still |
smoudering. An attempt was made to
dynamite the portion which remained
standing. but so ramshackle was the struct-
ure that the explosives had little effect.
The hotel was built by Joseph Bobinger,
the father of the late William II. Bobinger.
VIII Sc widow is the present owner. Part
Of il was designed as an exact reprOdu ton
of Il old German tavern. The elder Bob
niger came to this county from Alsace.
1t contained 40 rooms and large BIZ II
room. To the rear was an elaborate gar
den stretching to the Potomac River. Just
behind the main structure was a small
cylindrical building in which was housed
the imported music box, to the strains of
which the patrons of the hotel danced.
The land on which the hotel stood was
part of an original grant by the King of
England to the second Lord Baltimore. 1t
was just west of the Cabin John Bridge.
