TAFT NEAR DEATH ON NIGHT AUTO RIDE DOWN MT. RAINIER Auto With : Searchlight Blazing | the Way Skids on Edge of Precipice 1,000 Feet High. WENT UP TO SNOW LINE. With Storm Threatening Presi- dent Makes Perilous Trip , Down Mountain Side. TACOMA, Oct. 9.—President citmbed up to the foot of the glaciers of Mount Rainier yesterday and nar rowly escape’ spending a night tn the mountain fastness, The Presidential party made the ascent in automobiles, and when nearing the highest point reached by the roadway the machin became mired im the mud up to the hubs. Forest rangers with horses finally got them out. Night had fallen and a storm threat- ened as the President started down the decline, With searchlights blazing the way, the President's car slowly crept along the edge of precipices. At times the outer wheels were within twenty- four inches of weer drop of 1,000 feet or more. Mr. Taft's auto skidded badly had been ti.rown over the car tires. Mr. Teftvertived safely at his train, which mountain, and passed through here at 1LB P. M. en route to Bellingham. While on the slopes of the mountain the President had a snowball battle had ascended slowly above the Nis- qually glacier to the snow line, It 1s the desire of Tacomans to get a \Wberal annual appropriation for the national park that surrounds Mount Tacoma. By showing Taft the park, with its poor roads, they hope to per- suade him that an appropriation would not be misspent, SNOWBALLS BUTT AND HIS SECRET SERVICE GUARD. ‘The park is certainly as interesting as Yellowstone, if not so full of ex- traordinary geological formations. The Nisqually canyon {s as picturesque a cut between precipitous cliffs as the world affords ani the President w: hugely delighted with the scenery. Mr. Taft proudly boasts now that he has ascended higher than any previous Chief Executive’ He chose Jimmy Sloan, the secret service man, Major Archie Butt, his alde-de-camp, his targets in the snowballing contest. High above the party towered the snow- capped summit of the mountain, which ascends 14400 fest from Puget Sound, On every hand stand huge Douglas firs and pine treea, reaching up as straight as arrows, as big in base cir- cumforence as California redwood trees and as rugged as the rocks they sprang from. The alders, maples and birches slow in their yellows, reds and purples against the blue green of the firs and pines. The glaciers reflect the sun and the blue sky and the Nisqually roars ei foams on its way to the sound. It 1s wonderful, wonderful," said Mr. Taft an he gazed around him. “Never before have I realized so powerfully the beauty and the tmmensity of our coun - try.

N POLICE BATTLE Band of Six Surprised by Bluecoats While Opening Safe in the r Basement of United Cigar Store. WOMAN AIDE GETS AWAY, ONE MAN IS ARRESTED. Desperate Fight in Dark Follows Discovery of Robbers—Victim Said to Be Noted Crook. One man was killed, at least one wounded, and one was captured in a desperate fight early to-day in which two Policemen frustrated the attempt of six armed burglars to drill the safe of the United Cigar Stores, containing $500, in the basement of No, 372 East One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street. Police officials believe that the plucky fight of the two policemen has broken up a dangerous gang of burglars that is wanted for many predatory raids, among them the blowing of a safe at Cohen's jewelry store at No, 624 Westchester avenue, from which $5,000 was taken a month ago.
