PRICE FIVE 'ENTS Majority of Delegat9 Favor Signing the Peace Treaty RUBY PASCOE LEAPS FROM1 SPEEDING CAR; DIES FROIM INJURIES Miss Ruby Pascoe, a dauglter of Mrs. Annimie Pascoe of 608 West Galena street, died this morning about 3:00 o'clock as a result of a reckless leap from a moving automobile. She and Professor Lewis Keller of the high school had been out driving south of town. They were on their return about 1:00 o'clock, when Miss Pascoc said that she wanted to drop in again at the "Bunga low." Professor Keller suggested that it would be best to get right back to town and turned into Harrison av enue in pursuance of that idea, without a thought that Miss Pascoe had voiced more than a passing whim when she had said that she wanted to stop again at the Bungalow. Miss Pascoe, urged by what im pulse can now never be known, leap ed suddenly from the machine. It was going at a good speed.

Mr. Keller says that he had been well acquainted with I the proprietor and expected to be I able to get the girl treated properly I without incurring the risk of em barrassing her and her family by 1 letting the affair become public. After considerable attention had been given Miss Pascoe at this place, i her condition seemed to be growing I worse. After vain attempts to get several different doctors over the phone, and thinking that the girl' might be injured by the trip up! town, Mr. Keller then drove up to I Murray's hospital and tried to get a doctor, and findimg none there, he went to the police station to get both an officer and a doctor. He could get neither the one or't the other at the police station. He thinks he drove back to Morris Rose's place to see if Miss Pascoe had been getting worse or better.
