TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 12. Sudden
ly growing dizzy in the rarified moun
tain air, after she had climbed to the
summit of Pinnacle Peak, Mount Rai
nier, Miss Helen Hunt, a school ieach
er of Seattle and a member of the Ta
coma Y. M. C. A. party that left Ta
coma last Tuesday for a ten days'
stay in Paradise Valley, fell 500 feet
to her death today.
Her body, with practically every
bone broken, was found in the valley,
and on a litter of alpine stocks and
sweaters was carried to the camp. It
was then taken by automobile to
Longmire Springs, where another car
was obtained and the body brought
Into Tacoma.
Unnerved by the scene of horror
they had witnessed, the other young
women in the party of 16, that had
surmounted Pinnacle Peak, were un
able to continue the ascent. Physical
Director Carter, of the Y. M. C. A.,
who acted as guide aided by the oth
er men of the party, let the shudder
ing girls down with ropes and the re
mainder of the party reached the val
ley unhurt.
The climb to Pinnacle, 564 feet
high, which has been one of the most
enjoyable of the regularly scheduled
trips with each Y. M. C. A. party of
the season, made before the final
dash in which the hardiest are taken
to the summit, was begun early this
morning.
A number of the young women in
the party had made the climb before
and it was not considered dangerous.
Miss Hunt, who was a large woman,
had taken part in the preliminary
tramps of the party, one of which, ov
er Nisqually Glacier, was considered
more trying than the pinnacle climb.

Cobb was attacked and stabbed in the
back by three unidentified men in De
troit today while on his way to the
train which was to bring him and the
team here for an exhibition game
this, afternoon.
Cobb's agility saved him from pos
sible death. His injuries are slight.
Cobb was driving his automobile to
the station, accompanied by his wife,
when three assailants appeared from
"behind a wooden building and order
ed the car to stop. The men were
partly intoxicated, and when the ma
chine came to a stop Cobb jumped
out and began to argue with the men.
The trio then demanded money, and
one of them made a lunge at Cobb.
Cobb attacked them and then began
a general fight. One man was knock
ed down with a blow on the chin and
another then ran, while the third
grabbed Cobb around the neck. While
the pair were struggling the thug pull
ed a knife and inflicted a wound in
Cobb's back. Cobb finally shook off
the assailant and regained his car.
Cobb was treated here on the arriv
al of the Detroit team. He tried to
keep the matter quiet and would not
discuss it.

WOMEN BUTCHERED BY SOLD
IERS WHO MAKE RAID
ON TRAIN
TRAINMAN, BADLY HURT, SENDS NEWS
Fingers And Ears Of Victims Are
Cut Off To Obtain Valuabli
Wounded Shown No
Pity
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 12. Thirty
six soldiers and more than 20 pas
sengers were slaughtered yesterday
by Zapatistas in a canyon one kilo
meter north of Mexico City, when a
passenger train southbound from this
city was attacked from ambush. On
ly meaguer details have reached this
city. So far as known only a part
of the train crew escaped.
The first news of the attack was
sent to Mexico City by Conductor Ma
rine and Collector Dominugez, who
although wounded, had managed to
make their way to Yautepec, 12 miles
away. They were forced to steal
through the Zapatista lines, and did
not arrive at the telegraph station un
til late today.
After the murderous rifle fire had
ceased the rebels swarmed down the
hillside and set fire to the three cars
composing the train. A few of the
wounded- had crawled out of the right
of way, thus escaping the fate of
those unable to leave the cars, who
were burned.
According to reports, the leader of
the rebels made absolutely no effort
to restrain his men from acts of bru
tality greater than any that has yet
marked the campaign in the, south.
The wounded, pleading for their lives
were struck down without pity, and
even looting was held in abeyance un
til the slaughter was complete.
Not satisfied with robbing their vic
tims in any ordinary manner, the
fingers of men and women were chop
ped off with machetes that rings they
wore might be more quickly obtained.
Ornaments were torn from ears of
women and their bodies were other
wise mutilated.
E COURT TO
PASS ON TRANSFERS
WASHINGTON. TV C Anir 15!
Some months ago the Attorney-General
of the State of Oregon, A. M. Craw
ford, filed a motion in thp Snnremp
Court of the United States to advance
the case of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, plaintiff in
error vs. the Railroad PnmmisKirm nt
Oregon, and that an early date be set
ior neanng it.
When the Supreme Court passes up
on this case, although it is not based
primarily upon the question of trans
fer nrivileees. this matter undoubted
ly will be given consideration, and it
is prooaoie the right of the Railroad
Commission of Oreernn tn
order regulating transfers will be de-
nnea. ine case Detore the Supreme
Court involves suits in equity brought
by the railway company against the
Railroad Commission of Oregon In the
Circuit Court of the State of Oregon
to restrain and suspend the operation
of certain orders made by the defend
ant until the final hearing and deter
mination of the suits, and then, up
on such final hearing, to vacate and
set aside permanently the orders in
question.
In OnQ Of the cases thp nrdor rf the
Railroad Commission directed the
railway company to cease and desist
from demanding, charging and collect
ing or receivine a rate nf faro in
cents between Milwaukie, a suburb of
roruana, ana First and Alder streets,
in the city, of Portland, and ordered
that a rate of fare of 5 cents each
way be charged, and that transfer
privileges be granted to lines of the
company within the city of Portland.
Another of the suits involves the
charging of a rate of fare of 15 cents,
between Oak Grove, a suburb of Port
land, and Center and Risley, and First
and Alder streets, in the city of Port
land, and the reduction of the rate tn
10 cents, and granting transfer privi
leges. In the Milwaukie case it is repre
sented that the station is located 6.71
miles from the city of Portland for
which a charge of 10 cents is made,
and no transfer privilege is givefh to
city lines. The town or station of
Lents is situated 7.69 miles distant
from the city of Portland, for which
distance a charge of 5 cents is made,
with transfer privileges to the city
lines. The higher rate charged to
Milwaukie and Oak Grove station's
was held by the Railroad Commission
to be unjust discrimination.
It was represented to the Supreme
Court by Crawford tht the railway
company desires to prolong the Mitiga
tion, whether it wins or loses. Many
of the rebate checks of 5 cents each
given by the railway company to pas
sengers pending the settlement of the
controversy in the courts will be lost
or mislaid, and the persons receiving
them will not be able to produce them
and have them redeemed, providing
the cases should be decided against
the company by the court. There
fore, it is an advantage to the com
pany to prolong the litigation.
Officials of the Supreme Court say
the question of time for which a
street railway transfer is valid has
never been hrmiffht hefnre the Su
preme Court for action. In the pend
ing cases, however, the question of
the extent of the authority of the
Railroad Commission in reference to
fares and transfers will be considered
and probably it will be decided wheth
er or not the Commission cSh enforce
orders regulating the time of the va
lidity of transfers as well as the
rates of fare.

PAY FOR SPOONS
Four young men who came to Ore
gon City Sunday looking for souve
nirs went away with them. After
looking over the town for sometime
and deciding they could not carry
away the Willamette River or the
palisades, they decided to look for
something easy. So they hied them
selves to a Main Street restaurant.
They had a delicious "feed' as Sam
Schepps, and all the other fellows
who are wanted for alleged complicity
in the great New York police murder
mystery would say, and upon leaving
the restaurant, having been lavish in
their tips, they secreted three
spcons in their pockets. The pro
prietor, who had to pay for the
spoons did not see the joke, and call
ed Policeman Cooke. The police
man found the young men waiting for
a car in front of the courthouse. He
brought them back to the restaurant
and they paid for their souvenirs.
That was all there was to it.

CHICAGO ATTORNEY ACCUSED
OF HAVING HELPED BRIBE
JURORS
DEFENDENT APPEALS TO JUDGE
Labor Legal Adviser Called Second
Judas And Is Likened To
Benedict Arnold And
Lord Bacon
HALL OF RECORDS, LOS ANGE
LES, Aug. 12. Drawing comparison
between Clarence. S Harrnw npnuaori
of jury bribing, and Lord Francis Ba-!
con, the famous English statesman of !
the Elizabethan era, who pleaded '
guilty to bribery before the British j
House of Lords, Judas Iscariot and
Benedict Arnold, Assistant District '
Attorney Joseph W. Ford, opened to-1
day a stirring arraignment of the ac
cused attorney before the jury which ;
will decide Darrow's fate. j
"Bacon's rise was magnificent until
he became lord chancellor of Eng
land," thundered Ford. "Yet he ac-!
cepted a bribe he was bribed. Like'
Darrow when he told Guy Biddinger
to do his work boldly to avoid detec
tion, so iord tsacon boldly accepted
a bribe, pleaded guilty before the bar
of the house of lords, and was depriv
ed of his office.
"Juda3 was a brilliant man, a great
thinker, yet he was bribed he sold
his Lord for 30 pieces of silver.
"In revolutionary days there was a
brilliant young captain in Washing
ton's army. He planned many suc
cessful attacks. He saved the whole
American army at Saratoga. Yet this
man, Benedict Arnold, was bribed.
"History is filled with stories of
great men who have gone wrong. Pre
vious reputation does not keep men
from committing crime.
"Billy Mason testified for Darrow
in this case as to Darrow's character.
Mason is one of the many politicians
who have testified in this case. Billy
Mason was Lorimer's seatmate."
"I object; he was not," interrupted
Darrow. "He misstates facts. Mason
ran against Lorimer."
Ford retorted: "It's immaterial any
way. The fact of the defendant in
this case the act of the jury briber
is worse than that of Lord Bacon
Judas or Arnold, for Darrow's crime
hits at the very foundation of govern
ment, law and order." Darrow winc
ed. Ford then plunged into a descrip
tion of the Times disaster, declaring:
"McNamara knew Darrow; he
knew he was the champion of union
labor in all its struggles, criminal and
civil. Many criminal lawyers have
abused their privileges. They have
taught the criminals, that there is a
war between them and society. They
have told the criminal all they need
is a smart lawyer, like Clarence Dar
row." "I'bject!" fairly screamed Horace
Appel, Darrow's counsel. "I object to
him telling the jury anything like
that. I assign it as error."

PROBABILITY COUNCIL WILL OR
DER SEVENTH STREET
MACADAMIZED
WORK ON SIXTEENTH PROGRESSES,
Contractors Will Begin Hard-Surfacing
Main Street In Less Than
Two Weeks Mains
Being Laid
Although the members of the com
mittee on streets of the city council
refused to make a positive statement
Monday, it was reported that the com
mittee would favor macadmizing Sev
enth street. Before the remonstrance
was filed at the last meeting of the
council the committee, it is believed,
was in favor of ahrdsurface pavement.
However, as most of the owners of
property on the street insist upon
macadam pavement it is not thought
the committee will go contrary to
their wishes. It is still believed that
a hardsurface pavement, would, in the
long run, be the cheapest. The com
mittee will make its report at the
meeting of the council Friday even
ing. It is reported that the commit
tee will recomend that the city pay
one-third the cost of the work.
The work of improving Sixteenth
street is progressing rapidly. Near
ly all the grading, which is a difficult
task, has been finished, and the street
soon will be ready for the rock. Rock
is being spread on Molalla Avenue,
and the committee reports that the
street will soon be ready for use. The
avenue has-been in poor repair for
several years, and the farmers have
complained of it.
A representative of the Montague
O'Reilly Company, which has been
given the contract for paving Main
street from Moss to the Abernethy
Bridge with asphaltic Concrete an
nounced Monday that the work would
be started in less than two weeks.
Water mains are being laid and this
work will be completed by the middle
of next week.
