Washington, June S It "has Just
become known here that President
Roosevelt was thrown from a young
horse and barely eBcaped"death yes
terday afternoon In Rockcreek park,
where he was trying the - spirited
animal in going over a water, Jump.
The president saved his life turn
ing quickly to one side as the horse
tell, and sustained severe bruises and
was badly crushed. . -
The president, when the. .story
came out today, said;
"It really didn't amount to. much
and is hardly worth printing. I am
not injured at all seriously."
Horse Pell Violently. v
The horse became frightened as
it approached the ' jump. -It stag
gered andfell violently.'," Roosevelt
quickly realiied the situation and his
oldtlme western - experience when he
learned to ride on bronchos on the
plaina came into play. , He turned
quickly: in the K saddle 7- and wil
plunged into the water. -
The horse jumped to Its feet la treat ;
fright It dashed away at ; breakneck
speed, but Sergeant McDermott, fhe or-:
dcriy for whom the president w try
ing the animal, succeeded In capturtnit
Jt and veturntng it to the place where
the president fell.
Mounted Animal Again. ,
'The president mounted ) the animal
again, saying hie Injuries were of no
consequence . whatever. 1 He rode the
unimal half an hour afterward and went
through another experience . almost aa
clangeious as the first. "V- :- '
The horee vw very nervous after the
fall, and the president wae riding- he
, im ta i nlaca where It wm necessary
to crors a stream. The horse went Into
the water all right hut when It felt the
cold stream it shied and gave a sudden
.urnn. -- ' ' - v.
: Tarowa Into Stream. .
Roosevelt leaned- forward Until his
head was almost beside that of the
horse.' The animal staggered In ' the
rough bottom of the creek and then fell
fit us TUH lengxn in mo wwr, cwrjim
the president down, with Jt Roosevel
his feet from the stirrups ant
itprang frcm the waddle, landing In the
,-rcHk. and was not hurt- He managed
the horse after that ia a masterful fash
ion.' --J'- 1-,r;---. ' ' .---ft.-.- .v.,-

of It today, tc Decame Known in mm

party and the White House were ln-

Mra Roosevelt was with the presi

accidents. She is an expert horse

ident if Bhe could have reacneu Dim in

But Sergeant McDermott was closer
than she, and though she was greatly
excited, she is none the worse for tha
experience."-- ! ,;''iJs '" -
President Roosevelt a today tried In
every way to belittle the experience,
and denied that he was suffering, any
inconvenience from his injuries. - Those
who saw the horse fall with the presi
dent say that his" life undoubtedly
would have been lost if it had not been
for his dexterity in shifting his posi
tion. The animal went over in such a
way that it would have crushed the
life out of an -unexperienced horseman.

Officer P. L. Evans was a victim of
the accident that spilled paint on several
patrolmen's uniforms. Yesterday after
noon he decided to eradicate the marks.
Benzine was one : of the perquisites
which he mixed with elbow oil. The ob
ject of his efforts was his uniform coat,
which was not . removed from his per
son during the process. He had been
eradicating TTor about 15 minutes when
he suddenly disappeared in a -blase of
pyroteebnical grandeur. Willing hands
tore the naming -garment from Evans'

Seattle. June- 8. In the Kitsap
county jail at Port Orchard, Mrs.
Edward King Is confined in a cell,
waiting to be formally charged with
tha murder of lier husband. - In a
basket in the custody of the sheriff
are the charred bones all that re
main of the body of the dead man.
The story of tne death and disposi
tion of the body of King is similar
to the . method of Belle Gunness.
the Indiana murderess. '
Admitting that she destroyed the
body in a. most horrible manner,
Mrs. King, the-wife and alleged
murderess, denies that she killed
her husband. , ,
"yfAiifeted at lukua.
" She .found her husband dead in a
chair, she says, and being angered at
him because of his conduct toward her
she dragged tha body to tha yard and
there with an 'axe chopped It Into
small, convenient, pieces, and with the
aid of a five-gallon can of gasoline
spent a night and a day in burning It.
until all that remained was a basketful
of charred bones.
The Kings lived for eight yeara near
Olalla, Kitsap county, between Seattle
and-.Taooma, , For eight years prior
they lived at West Seattle, where they
were well known and where their only
daughter, Mrs. Fisher, now resides.

of that day and the following Monday
neighbors noticed that a fire was kept
burning In the yard in the vicinity of
the home. .; " . , .

On Monday a neighbor went to the
King ranch to borrow a plow.
.MraJKlng hurried to meet tha man,
who told his mission. He asked for
the plow, and it waa given to him, but
he was not permitted to approach near
er the house than was necessary to se
cure the desired implement. As the
neighbor left be noticed that Mrs. King
returned to a small fire that sha waa

; Although neighbors noticed the fire,
too, nothing was suspected until Thurs
day, when the daughter arrived on a
visit to her parents from West Seattle.
She Inquired . for her father, and was
told by the mother that he had disap
peared on the previous Sunday and had
not returned.
The daughter Insisted that the ab
sence of her father be reported, and
Thursday evening the mother and
daughter visited Olalla and told of the
mysterious disappearance. On Friday
morning several residents of Olalla be
gan searching. Among the searchers
was Emir Swanson, Dr., Pry and a man
named Reed. - " . i

The woods in the vicinity-of the
home were thoroughly searched all day
Friday, but no trace of Wng was
found. -
On Saturday morning Swanson spent
his time about the King house. He waa
followed almost' constantly by Mrs.
King.! Swanson paid particular atten

have beendjig up and there were signs
of -a fire. ,',- t
" "Oh. there's no Use in -you looking
around here," Mra. King said to Swan

some of the old man's clothes."

aroused by this time and ha turned
over some of the earth. ' . 4.. ,

A charred bone protruded through tha
soft soil and he picked It up. - Swan
Son called Dr. Fry and he identified
the bone as that of a human being.
- Further search - revealed other- bones
buried but, .a few Inches below the sur
face. ' 1
Mrs. King professed Ignorance of the
origin of the burled bones and was not
accused by tha searchers with having
disposed of the body.
She appeared greatly .troubled, how

walked over to Dr. Fry and satd:

VICTORY ,
Local Opiionists .Wage -Un
successful Dattle f on 'the
Grounds Chosen by Their
Opponents Saloons Elira
inated From St. Johns.
t
The ' wets gained - a substantial , vic
tory, over the-drys in. the local option
elections In Multnomah - county, ' - The
one notable exception is In St; Johns,
where the verdict ot two -years -ago
was reversed by adding 'precinct tt,
University Park; to the two St. 'Johns
precincts,, the net result giving a dry
majority. The vote waa SSI for prohi
bition and 607 against.
- Two precincts voted singly on the
thirst question. AH the other contests
were waged In combinations . of pre
cincts. In all except St. Johns, and
possibly .one of the country subdi
visions, In which the returns are In
complete, the wet contingent waa vic
torious. In the two large subdivisions on the
east' side the wets made it nearly two
to-one. This result was not unexpected
by the other side, k. as the voting dis
tricts were carved out and shaped by
the liquor Interests to anticipate and
forestall possible prohibition excursions
into their territory. At that time it
waa not known what the drys might
do, and the object of the wets was to
gain advantage of priority in filing in
case of conflict between the petitions.
In the district composed of precincts
42, 43, 44, 46 and 47 the wet majority is
400. The Vote stood 914 to 614, Every
precinct gave a wet majority. In 42
the vote was 22S to 146. in 43 It was
149 to 88, in 44 it was 6s to 48, in 4S
it waa 278 to 161 and In 4? It waa 200
to si. . - .
In the . subdivision composed of pre
cincts 62, 62, 63, , 71. 72. 74, 76. 76, 77,
78 and 79 the result on the returns
received shows that the wets have 1.802
votes to 869, or more than two 'to one.
The vote Is complete except for pre
cincts 68, 69 and 72. ,
Precincts-100 and 101 voted together
on prohibition and the combined vote
gives 167 In. favor, 178 against. This
territory includes Troutdale and Fair-view..-
-'
: Precinct voted alone and gave 61 In
favor of prohibition, with 183 opposed.
Precinct 67. also voting atone, polled 93
for prohibition and 127 against it
Precinct 9 voted with 102, and the
returns from the latter are not 'avail
able. No. 99 gave 47 for : prohibition
and 44 against.-
Aecullar feature of the vote In St.
Johns Is the repetition of the neck-and-neck
race run -on the same question two
years ago, so far as the two St. Johns
ftrecincts are concerned. Had it been
eft to St Johns alone, the wets would
have four majority. They lost No. 90
by 188 to 236. and carried 91 by 174 to
117. The addition of 89, which was 178
to 160, gave the balance to the drys.

- tWashlngtoa Bureau of The Joornal.)
Washington,, June 3. Senator Borunev
said today: ' "No, further statement is
necessary from me. as my views are
well known as to Statement No. 1," of -which
I have been and am an advocate. '
If Chamberlain has received the popular'
plurality he Is entitled to receive the
vote of tha legislature for senator; as
the man tha people selected. It Is no"
longer a - Question.'- The legislature is .
bound to ratify the popular choice.
Senator Fulton said:' ''In my. Judg
ment a Republican legislature was not
elected to put" a Damocratlo senator in
office. Some years ago .The - Journal
frlnted a statement from meln which
said that when tha direct primary law
waa adopted, tha people- didn't under-,
stand. In my Judgment that a legisla
ture might be expected to elect a sen
ator of the other party, simply because
he received .more votea than nla oppo
nent I said then, aa now, v that the
highest duty of a member of the legis
lature is to abide by his oath of office
to support the constitution, which, as
far as the election of senator is con
cerned. Is to choose the one most likely
to serve the interest of the people, and
a Republican legislature' could not elect
a Democrat who stands against' He
publican policies without violating their
oath, of -office.'' $, J j.-;. vvt rK.i I :
