Don't ask me any more now, Get some water.’ I told her water wouldn't do much good, the man was dead. "She knelt down beside the body and cried, and was there when the patrol wagon came and took her away.” McGregor said Mrs, Sawyer threw herself upon the body, hugging and kissing her dead husband. Gill said he went for some water, and when he returned Mrs, Sawyer was lying across the body, weeping violently, and repeatedly calling his name, and begging that somebody do something to ald him. ¥ WANTS BILL TO STOP “THIRD DEGREE” When Attorney Hyde objected to nd and 1 splotches on Madge's chin and arma |‘ After he was asked, “Did Howard) ‘No more pe No more teache ils, no more beok '» hardboiled look that is being Seattle Mriday the shackles of Thia is the otoned obanty | me thruout | whe | More than 2,100 earnest students graduate from grammar school Fri day, and will not be seen again until, | with lengthened dreas or trousers, | they acquire the august dignity of ‘goin’ to high school.” Some 1,200 high sehool pupils, who graduated | Wednesday thrilling with | |thoughts of fraternity lite ol | athletics, or preparing >» be me Morgans or Rockefellers in the outer world of business: NO ARRESTS IN ELWELL PROBE Police Are Without Clues) in Murder Case NEW YORK, June 18—Police to- Jay were #till without a definite clue} as to who murdered Joseph B.

P. Factions to Support Nominee WASHINGTON, June 18. — Her. bert Hoover today threw his support nolidly behind Senator Warren G. Harding and called on all shades of the republican party to support the presidential nominee. Hoover announced his support of the republican ticket after treak- fasting with Harding at the latter's invitation. The announcement deft nitely cleared the doubt surrounding Hoover's attitude as the result of the Chicago convention. Hoover reiterated previous | cagoed of Senator Harding that 1 Z would tawue no statement of poll. cies until after the democratic con- vention “I need not reiterate my conic | tion that the constructive ability so critically needed for the vigorous |business reorganization of the fed: eral government and to meet the many economic issues before us lice n the republican party,” Hoover de tared fh the conclusion of his stase te. | ment Check on Sale of | Jamaica Ginger | Cheeking up on drug store mies} jof Jamaica «iter by federal pro-| hibition officers Thursday night led] to the arrest of Orear Reans. pro prietor of the Harbor pharmacy and Morris Molin, olerk at the Prince drug store, both on First ave Information charging the men with selling more than the legal Umit of two ounces of Jamaica gin-| ger to one customer was filed in the United States district court Friday morning. \Saw Mill Workmen Rolled of. $1,000 Two men robbed workmen of | nearly $1,000 at the point of a gun| late last night, in the bunkhouse ot} the Monaghan Lumber Co., at Mon aghan, Wash, Both men were un masked and carried guns.
