Idaho Falls. Idaho Sept. 9.—William
G. McAdoo former secretary of the

me into jmlitics.”

cide to make a run for the presidency

tinned. “I am having a bully time
here and the waters of the Snake River
are liquid gold to the great irrigation
projects nf Idaho.”

out to find* Mr. McAdoo last Wednes-
day afternoon boarded the raft this

able camping or fishing spot is sight*

MISS IRENE SKELTON IN
HOSPITAL ANO MAY DIE;
YOUNG MEN ARE HEED
Telephone Operator Says She Jumped
When Companions Refused to Take
Her Home and Said Instead They
Were Going for Ride —Howard Barn-
house Driving Says Fears Unfound-
ed and That She Fell From Auto-
mobile.
Miss Irene Skelton 20 of 507 West Euclid avenue is in
the Robert B. Green Memorial Hospital in a serious condi-
tion as the result of injuries sustained when she jumped or
fell from an automobile at 11:55 Friday night as it passed the
Knights of Columbus hall on Romana street. Hospital physi-
cians say an artery has been severed in her head and »he may
also have sustained a fracture of the skull. Her recovery is
doubtful.
Howard Barnhouse 20 214 Panama avenue and Bon-
ner Gambs 21 922 Avenue B were detained by the police
during the night on instructions issued by Police Captain
Thrown. An investigation started by Detectives )<ohr and
Jensen shortly after police picked up the unconscious young
woman was resumed early Saturday morning.
The detention of the young men was based on a state-
ment made by Miss Skelton an hour after officers had placed
her in the hospital. It was meagre detectives say but em-
phatic. Miss Skelton is reported to have told them her leap
from the car was made when advised she was not going to
be taken home as she had been promised when she entered
the car shortly before. Because of her condition the de-
tectives did not insist on a more detailed statement from the
patient.
x Howard Barnhouse driving the automobile and Bonner
Gambs and Miss Rose Lee Rader the latter 19 years old and
room-mate of Miss Skelton expressed some doubt as to
whether Miss Skelton jumped or accidentally fell from the
automobile. At any rate according to Barnhouse with
whom she was sitting at the time hei' fears if such prompted
her to make the wild leap from the automobile were un-
founded.
Miss Skelton and Miss Rader have
for some time been in the employ of
the Southwestern Tcltpbone Company
as exchange operators. They reported
off duty at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon
as customary detectives were advised.
Partakiug of a light lunch. Miss Rader
told the officer they visited a couple
of moving picture shows. They bad gone
to a drug store at East Houston street
aud Avenue C to make a small purchase
before goiug to their home. Il was at
the drug store Miss Rader said they
met the young m»*n with whom they
were acquainted having recently met
them at a Labor Day celebration al a
nearby town.
Offered to Take Them Home.
Miss Rader in her statement to the
police ami detectives said the young
men had suggested they take her ami
Miss .Skelton to their home. They as-
sented and entered the car. a light sedan
Miss Rader said she was seated in tbe
rear with Bonner Gambs while Miws
Skelton occupied the front seat with
Barnhouse who was driving the ear.
It was after the party had reached
Romana street ami tbe car wax |>ro-
ceeding at a good rate. Miss -Rader
said that sell was suiprised when Miss
Skelton suddenly arose in her scat.
What had pass d between her and Barn-
house. she said she did not know be-
cause of the noise of the automobile.
Sho thought at first that Miss Skelton
intended entering the rear to be seated
with her. The door of the car. Min
Rader said wax suddenly opened and
before she couM be prevented Miss Skel-
ton had leape<l to the street.
Artery Back of Ear Severed.
The automobile was brought to a
quick stop. Miss Skelton^ seemingly
had struck the pavement. Severance of
an artery neaF’thc back of the right
ear caused profuse blooding and she
was unconscious. Police Captain
Brown Officer Perrow and Detectives
Kobr and Jensen responded to the alarm
sent to headquarters. Miss Skelton was
taken to the hospital given emergency
treatment and tbe flow of blood staunch-
ed. She recovered sufficiently the
police said to make a brief statement
in which she said according to the of-
ficers that she had intended when she
entered the automobile that they be
driven directly to her borne. This sho
told officers was refused and she was
told instead she Mould be taken out for
a ride.
