President Unveils Statues to
Memories of Pulaski and
Kosciusko.
ONE MADE U. S. CAVALRY
"Pulaski's Legion," Famous in War
for Independence, Fought Val

tude by Fine Monuments,
WASHINGTON, May li President
Taft today paid tribute to the foreign
soldiers who helped the United States
win Independence. He attended the
inveilinf? of the statues of Pulaski and
Kosciusko, the former at Thirteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, and
the latter In Lafayette Square. Mr.
Taft delivered the eulosry at the Pul
aski statue, while Secretary Dickinson
was the principal speaker at the Kos
ciusko ceremonies. The President
said:
"It is idle to speculate what .might
have happened In the War of the Revo
lution had we not been assisted by
foreign nations and subjects of foreign
countries. It is . sufficient for us that
those who assisted us in that struggle
contributed materially to our success.
"Hence to Lafayette, to Rochambeau,
to- Von Steuben, to DeKalb, to Pulaski,
to Kosciusko, and to others, it is fit
ting: that there be erected monuments
like this, that it may be understood
America Is ftrateful and holds in sweet
memory those who came to her in her
hour of danger and distress.
"When Count Pulaski came here the
American Army practically had no
cavalry and to him, with the permis
sion of Washington and with the vote
of Congress, was turned over the ques
tion of the organization of a cavalry
force.
Subsequently, organizing an inde
pendent legion known as "Pulaski's
Legion," he fought his way from north
to south until finally, after taking part
In the campaign about Charleston, he
.lost his life in a brilliant charge at
the siege of Savannah..
"Chivalric and of knightly form,
brave, dashing, courageous, but gentle
as a woman, sweet In all the associa
tions of life, there hangs about bim all
the romance of ancient knighthood.
"Could he have looked forward to
the coming to this country of 3.000,ono
of his Polish fellow citizens, could he
have seen them take their honorable
part in the American electorate, could
he have seen the welcome they have re
ceived, the prosperity they have aided,
the strength they have given to this
country, and the happiness they have
found under the Starry Banner he
labored to make triumphant, he would
Indeed have felt his labors were not
in vain."
STORK OF DEATH TOLD
STATE'S STAR AVITXESS TESTI
FIES IX PEPOOX CASE.
lraniatic Kecltal of Dead AVoman's
Companion Impressive AVhcn
Heard in Curt,
SPOKAXE. Wash.. May 12. (Spe
cial. A special from Colville, Wash.,
Bays:
Massip Downs, star witness, was the
sensation of the day in the Pepoon
trial. Tills robust young woman, 22
years old and the mother of six fine
children, told a plain unvarnished tale
of Edith Pepoon's death in a fashion
that was Impressive and thrilling from
Its very directness and simplicity. The
utmost efforts of the defense failed to
shake her testimony in any degree
whatever, 'and her contribution to the
coil which the state Is winding about
Ueorge Pepoon is one of its strongest
parts.
Mort Crossan. one of the most pic
turesque figures in the case, was also
an exceptionally good witness and is
important from the evident intention
of the defense to impeach him. If not
to show that he might have been
guilty of the crime.
A startling thing about Crossan's
testimony was his offer to identify a
bottle found by Mrs. Woleott in the
dresser in the Pepoon house as the
fame bottle in which he had left a
quantity of strychnine used to poison
gophers in a place known only to him
and Pepoon. He will do this, he says,
by marks in the glass of the bottle
and cork.
Mrs. Downs' story of the tragedy
follows:
"Kdith came staggering into the
kitchen, saying she had an awful Jag
on. Roy Wilcox had just taken a
drlnlc of water and was waiting for
her with a dipperful of water. He gave
her a big drink and she staggered
back again. She said. "Get me outside.'
"Mr. Pepoon offered to help her, but
she said. 'Go away, you devil.'
"I said, "Will you let me help yon!"
She said, 'Yes,' and we carried her
outdoors.
"Roy Wilcox carried her. by the
head and shoulders, and I carried her
by the knees. We put her in the rocking-chair
and she had three convul
sions. They lasted two or three min
utes. She rallied a little after the first
spasm, and said. "Oil. please don't let
me go.' then went into a worse one
and finally died in the third convulsion."
COUNTRYMAN MAY DIE SOON

WATER ROUTES CUT RATES
WaffOiunakera Tenld Reparation by
Interstate Commission.
TV AS FTT NOT OK, May 12. Th Tntr
ttt4 Coxrunarc OommUiion today de
cided that water competition forced down
rates from interior points to the Pacific
Coast terminals. .
The situation was peculiar in the case
in point. Carriers had increased, the rates
on farm and dump wagons from Missouri
River territory to the Pacific Coast from
$1.25 a hundred pounds to $1.35, the rea
son announced being that the former rate
was abnormally low. Subsequently, it
was discovered wagons were being moved
to t he Pa ci fi c Coas t term inal s by water
and the $1.25 rate was restored. The res
toration of the rate induced the Ken
tucky Wagon Manufacturing Company
and the Millburn ' Wagon Company, of
Toledo, O.. .r to institute complaints be
fore -the Commission, demanding repara
tion on shipments on which they had
paid the $1.35 rate.
The Commission denied the reparation,
holding that the carriers were forced by
water competition " to restore the lower
rate in order to get the business, and
not because the higher rate was unreasonable.
HUSBAND BADLY SCARED
CHARLES THOnX'TOX DECLARES
WIFE TRIED TO KILL HIM.
Woman Retorts That Spouse Fired
Shots Boih Get Freedom .
Alter Depositing Bail.
Declaring that he would rather go to
jail for six months than to face his
angry. wife, Charles. Thornton, who con
ducts a saloon, at 75 Third street North,
Wednesday deposited $250 bail for his
wife, who had been arrested with him on
a charg-e of disturbing the peace; and per
mitted himself to be locked in a cell.
However, his - security from his spouse
was short lived, for in less than an hour
she returned with $250. which she de
posited for her husband's release.
A report' was received at the police
station about 8 o'clock that a number of
shots had been fired in the Thornton
home, at 167 Park street. Patrolman
Ennis on entering- the house found
the Thorntons quareling, the furniture
smashed, chairs overturned and other evi
dences of a struggle. A 3S-caliber re
volver was lying on the bed, with three
chambers emptied, while three holes In
the wall showed where the bullets had
passed.
Mrs. Thornton maintains that her hus
band came home drunk and began to
abuse her and smash the furniture. Not
satisfied with this, she Kays, he picked up
a revolver and fired three shots, merely
to frighten her. Thornton, on the other
hand says his wife has frequent attacks
similar to the one last night and that
at such times she is exceedingly dan
gerous. "She fired three shots at me."
he said, "and this is not the first time
by any means that she has emptied a
revolver trying to hit me. Our old home,
on Tenth street, is riddled with bullets
which were fired by her."
The angry woman refused to bestow so
much as a glance on her husband after
depositing his bail, walking away from
the juil with her head in the air. Her
thoroughly subdued husband lingered for
several hours at the police station.- say
ing he was afraid to leave.
BABY LOST 111 SUBURB
CHILD DISAPPEARS IX "MIDST OF
CROWD AT SALE OF LOTS.
Left In Go-Cart by Mother, He Can't
lie Found, Though Posses Seek
Diligently Till Midnight.
Kenneth, the 2H-yar-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Tracy A. Woods, 1056 East
Thirteenth street. North, mysteriously
disappeared from his gocart at Kusa
during a real estate sale Wednesday aft
ernoon and cannot be found.
Posses of men have been searching
In the vicinity since 4:30 P. M. for the
child, but not a trace of him was dis
covered. It is nor generally believed
that the baby could have wandered
away and kidnaping is the most ac
cepted theory of his disappearance.
Mrs. Wood attended a real estate
auction sale at Kusa yesterday. She
left the baby in its gocart about 4 P.
M. not more than 100 yards from the
real estate office, where a big crowd
had assembled. She returned to the
gocart half an hour later and found her
baby gone.
At first she thought the little one had
slipped out of the buggy and mingled
with the crowd, but when no one was
found who had seen the child she be
came alarmed and the word spread
through the crowd that a child was
lost. Immediately volunteers began a
thorough search. As- night drew near
and no trace of the baby was found, a
general alarm spread through the com
munity, more volunteers were enlisted
and the search became more systematic.

Twelve Men Who Determined Fate
of Slayer of Charles Hadberg
Make Plea for Clemency for
Him When They Report.
MOXTESA.NO Wash., "May 12. (Spe
cial.) After requesting further Instruc
tions at 11:50 last night as to whether or
not a verdict of murder in the second
degree could be returned if premeditation
was shown, and being ordered by the
court to return to the Juryroom and
read their instructions, the jury In the
trial of William Gohl for the murder of
Charles Hadberg at 12:35 this morning
brought in a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree, with a recommenda
tion for clemency.
Gohl was brought from his cell looking
pale and haggard and as the Clerk slowly
read the decree he seemed unable to com
prehend the seriousness. He exchanged
a few hurried words with his attorney,
James A. Hutcheson, before being hur
ried to his cell, in the jail below, by sev
eral deputies.
For some reason or other Mrs. Gohl,
who has not been aDsent from the court
for a moment during the entire trial and
who feverishly paced the corridor of the
Courthouse and the sidewalk in front for
hours after the Jury retired, was not
present when the ' verdict which may
mean the gallows for her husband, was
returned.
J. O. Stewart officiated as foreman of
the jury, which was discharged by Judge
Ben Sheeks immediately.
Despite the late hour, a considerable
number of spectators were on hand to
Kara the result. No notice of arpeal was
given by the defense at this time.
INVENTIONS OF TOMORROW
Peeps Into the Electrical Dream of
the future.
Popular Electricity.
Chances for a successful career In
the electrical field better than ever be
fore electrical inventions not all made
by any means electricity the only
thing that has become cheaper in the
last few years high cost of living
comes from the cost of delivering
small quantities to the ultimate con
sumer horses have no place in city
streets hereafter motors will do all
the chores houses of cement for plain
folks for $1200 by the Edison system
of molds.
We shall have easily $50,000,000,000
of money in the electrical service in
1925, and five times as many persons
will then be employed in electricity as
now.
There is absolutely no reason why
horses should be allowed within the
city limits, for between the gasoline
and electric car, no room Is left for
them. A higher public idea of health
and cleanliness is working toward such
banishment swiftly, then we shall have
decent streets instead of stables made
of cobblestones bordered by sidewalks.
I believe a family could live the year
around without using anything but
good package food. What is needed Is
to carry that a step further and devise
automatic stores where the distributing
cost is brought down to a minimum on
every article handled. A few electro
magnets controlling chutes and hop
pers and the thing is done.
Homes and rents are much too high.
I saw it coming long ago and
hence went into making cement, the
cheapest and most durable building
material man has ever had. ... I
Just mold a house instead of a brick.
I believe that the houses can
be erected complete with plumbing and
heating apparatus for $1200 each when
erected on land underlaid with sand
and gravel. ... In cut stone such
a house would cost J50.000.
LION TOYS WITH TINY BABE
Trained Beast Hears Call of Wild In
Crowded Opera-House. ,
CLEVELAND, Tenn.. May 12. A
trained lion being exhibited on an
opera stage here last night suddenly
became again the bloodthirsty beast of
the jungle, and. snatching a babe from
the arms of its mother, carried it to
the back of the stage, dashed it to the
floor and planted both his forepaws on
the little one's body, licking the blood
from the wounds on the baby's head
and face.
Frantic citizens advanced on the lion
and diverted its attention, while a man
snatched the baby from the stage. The
child is terribly lacerated and may die.
The keeper finally succeeded in getting
the lion back into its cage.

DON'T STIMULATE
EXHAUSTED NERVES
You Would Be Cured Feed the
Nerves by Using a Tonic That
Will Nourish Them
Through the
Blood.
Every person is endowed with a certain
amount of nervous energy which is be
ing constantly drawn upon by the work,
worry and responsibilities of our daily
life. It is also largely drawn upon dur
ing the after-effects of wasting diseases,
as fevers.
Unless these drains upon the nerves
are replaced by nourishment from the
blood, the nerves become overworked and
exhausted and some form of nervous
trouble results.
The value of the tonic treatment with
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact
that these pills do not stimulate the al
ready exhausted nerves to keep up their
work for a time longer but that they keep
the blood pure and red and in that way
fully replace the nervous energy that has
been used up.
Mrs. Frances Clark, a dressmaker, of
No. 174S-A. Mission street, . San Fran
cisco, Cal., says:
"I suffered for about three years from
nervous debility. I was very nervous
and during most of the three years I
could not sleep well. My stomach was
quite bad and I was pale and somewhat
run down.- I was not able to work
steadily.
. "A friend ureed me to take Dr. "Wil
liams' Pink Pills and upon doing so I
felt better from the start. I took them
for several weeks and gained ten pounds
in weight and am able to work every day.
I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills to many of my friends and always
with good results."
If you are suffering from any nervous
trouble, as neuralgia, sciatica, nervous
headache, nervous prostration, nervous
dyspepsia, St. . Vitus' dance, partial'
paralysis or locomotor ataxia, send to

the Nervous System," which is free upon

GOVERNOR SLIGHTLY ILL
STATE EXECUTIVE GOES TO CAL
IFORNIA FOR SHORT REST.
Affection of Nose, With Grippe and
Insomnia, Only Troubles He
Laughs at Rumors.
SAN FRAXCISCO; May 12. (Special.)
Governor Frank II. Benson, of Oregon,
is stopping at the Alexander Hotel in
this city -while he is being treated by a
local specialist for an affection of the
nose which for many months has
troubled him. In addition the Governor
is bothered with a fillght attack of the
grippe, as well as insomnia. His condition
is not considered serious, however, and
when seen late tonight the Governor
stated that on Saturday he proposes to
go to San Jose for a visit of a week or
eo to a brother who is residing in the
Garden City.
The Governor is accompanied by Judge
Henry Benson, a brother, from Klamath
Falls, and both of them laughed heartily
at the stories that the condition of the
Executive of Oregon was serious.
A month ago," said the Governor,
"the specialist who was treating my nose
told me that I was practically cured.
Since then I have been slightly ill with
the grippe, and the fever bothered my
nose. He advised me to come to Cali
fornia for a rest of three or four weeks,
and my brother persuaded me to make
the trip. I have been bothered -somewhat
by inability to sleep, and for that
reason have been keeping as quiet as
possible, but there is nothing serious
about my condition. We will probably
remain here until the end of the week
and then go to San Jose for a visit."
The Governor eat up in bed as he
talked, and apparently was in good spir
its. He Is occupying a suite of rooms
with the Judge, and there are no evi
dences of medical attendance.
