Attend Church, and Then
Commit Suicide,
ORO FINO.-Idaho, May 12. Dr F. J.
Leadbrooke, a promfnent physician of
Moscow, and Miss Winnie Booth. 19-year-old
daughter of Rev. G. M. Bpoth, pastor
of the Methodist church at Moscow, com
mitted suicide here today. The couple ar
rived in this city Saturday and spent the
night at the hotel. Last evening they at
tended the Epworth League meeting, and
then retired to the hotel. They did not
appear for breakfast this morning,, and
at noon, when the door of their room -was
opened, the girl was found dead on the
bed. Beside her was Leadbrooke, in a
dying condition. He passed away at 3
o'clock. Thecouple had taken morphine
"by hypodermic injection. A note was left
by the couple on the table, stating they
had sent letters to Moscow, and that peo
ple would arrive from that point to take
charge of the bodies. Leadbrooke wap a
married roan and was wealthy. Miss-Booth
was a school teapher, and was employed
near Kendrick. Leadbrooke Joined her at
Kendrjck Friday, and the following day
they came to Oro Flno. Leadbrooke came
to Moscow about a year ago from Minne
sota and became acquainted with Miss
Booth in chUrch work. He was also the
physician of the Booth family.
The prominence of the couple, and the
aqt that no intimate relations "were sus
pected has caused a profound sensation
In Moscow, "where the girt has been raised,
and where Dr. Ledbrooke had practiced
his profession for six months. He was
formerly a clergyman, and at various
times during the past winter had occu
pied pulpits in Moscow. He was a well
read man and a psychological 6tudent,
Ha was an Intimate friend -of Rev. Booth,
and about four months ago he performed
an operation upon the girl for appendici
tis. She was a handsome young woman
of 20, and had formerly attended the Uni
versity of Idaho, at Moscow. Her infat
uation for Leadbrooke was not dreamed
of by her parents. Her mother lies in a
precarious condition from the shock of
the news, and Mrs. Ledbrooke, wife of the
dead man, is also prostrated. They left
several letters, bidding friends good-bye,
and saying that as they could not live to
gether, except in sin, they preferred to die
together. One letter to the Rev. Booth
from Ledbrooke contained ?200 for the
funeral expenses of the girl,

Men With. Professionalism.
UNIVJERSJTY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or., May 12. Manager Ray Goodrich, of
the University of Oregon track team, to
day filed a formal protest against Joseph
and Robert Pearson, who are entered
from the University of Washington, for
the interstate field meet, which will occur
at Seattle next Friday. The protest
charges Joseph and Robert Pearson, of
Starbuck. Wash., and students at the Uni
versity of Washington, "with competing in
professional foot races' at Heppner, Or.,
on June 12 and 13, 190L and attempting to
enter said race under assumed names.
The annual tournament of the Eastern
Oregon and Washington Fireman's Asso
ciation was held at Heppner on the afore
said dates, and affidavits show that all of
the hose races and foot races of the
tournament were known to be for money,
and that the Dayton team, in which both
the Pearsons ran, won first prize in the
consolation race, for which the team re
ceived $S0 in cash. The complaint fur
ther states that Joseph Pearson won the
100-yard and 20O-yrd open sprints, for
which cash prizes of $25 each were offered,
and that Robert Pearson won second prize
In the latter event, for which $10 in cash
was offered. It is also alleged that Rob
ert Pearson participated in professional
foot races that occurred at Pendleton, Or.,
on July 4, 190L
Tho rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union, of the United States, preclude the
competition of men who enter contests
where money prizes are offered. The ar
bitration committee will meet in Seattle,
probably on Thursday, to consider the
case.
Joe Pearson Is Washington's best man.
He won all three of the short sprints
against Oregon last year, and Is consid
ered one of the swlftcft runners in the
Northwest He Is also a good Jumper,
and has done well In the vault and ham
mer throw.
Robert Pearson Is a middle distance run
ner, and both are members of the crack
University of Washington relay team.
Tho Oregon students are perfectly willing
to abide by the decision jof the arbitration
committee.
