trial will not bexin before next week. In
the meantime an effort will he made to
keep separated the two rival factions,
among which there has developed a bitter
feeling resulting from Barklev's arrest
and impending trial.
The Government officials received their
first intimation of possible trouble among
the Indian witnesses Wednesday, when

the activity of this Indian among the
witnesses summoned by the Government,
together with reliable rumors of a prob
able clash between the two factions before
the trial that has suggested to the DWi
trtct Attorney the precaution he will take
today to prevent any trouble.
Barkley. the man under arrest. Is to be
tried for the murder of Sid Jambs, a
white man. on the Klamath Reservation.
The two men had been friends for vears.
but frequently had quarrels when drink
ing. At one time. Barkley caused the
arrest of Jacobs on some trivial charge,
afterwards failing to prosecute the case.
Following this Incident the men renewed
their friendly relations.
In the trial, the Government expects to
prove that when the crime was com
mitted. Barkley lured his victim to a lone
ly place on the reservation, where he
shot him with a rifle. After the murder
had been committed, the prosecution ex
pects to show by testimony that Barkley
compelled "Old Man Little John." his
tincle. to accompany him to the scene of
the crime and assist In covering the dead
body to the depth of a tfvr Inches, with
earth. Barkley then went to California
and remained for several months. On his
return, suspicion In the meantime having
connected Barkley with the murder, he
was arrested and held to the Federal
Court.
Barkley will be defended bv Judge
Henry E. McGinn and it Is understood he
will plead self-defense. It la understood
that the murdered man. who was a horse
trader, was also a "bootlegger." and sup
plied many of the Indians on the Kla
math Reservation with liquor. It prob
ably will be contended by the defense that
while drunk and quarreling over a trans
action concerning Jacob's illicit traffic In
Intoxicants. Barkley killed the man la
self-defense.

TAFT KNOWS A JAWSMITH
Sidelights on Porto Rico's Foremost
Anti-American Agitator.
GRANTS PASS. Or.. May ;To the
Edttor. It would appear from the Wash
ington dispatches published in The Ore
gonian recently that the Administration Is
beginning to put the correct valuation
upon Muuos Rivera and his work In Porto
Rico. In a former communication I said
that Munos Rivera and Balbas. editor of
the Spanish organ, a Heraldo Espanol.
were the principal disturbers of the peace
!n the Island, the foremost antl-American
agitators. 1 was somewhat surprjsed to
find that Rivera was having himself In
terviewed In the East and was loud In his
declarations of love for the American
flag, and not lukewarm in hla affection
toward Americans. He is represented as
saying: "We love the American flag and
we hope it will forever wave over the
Island. Independence is not thought of."
That Munos Rivera has persistently ad
vocated independence I know from his
speeches and his editorial In Ms organ.
I-a. Democracla. He has continually de
manded the absolute Independence of the
Island, declaring that the Porto Ricans
would never submit to anything else.
That has been the slogan of his party
from the first.
The Porto Rico Review reproduces a
portion of an editorial from hla pen oa
uiy js. it is as roiiowa:
"If. by the fortunes of war. the starred
flag should ever wave ovr the va:ieys
of Porto Rico, under this flag, under that
foreign ensign, we shall worship and ven
erate the glorious nag of Spain, wrapped
In which we swear to die rather than
dishonor It rather than change It for the
American rag of the hogs of the I'nlted
States and W It be known by the whole
world: and damned be the whole world
if they consent that we should be p
arated from the good and loving mother
to he. delivered unto the ambitious step
mother who will come here to exterminate
those that remain and who have not the
courage to die as I will die. wrapped In
the folds of the Spanish flag."
Mr. Rivera has never charged In the
least In hla Intense love for the American
flag. For a time he resided In New Tork.
where h published a paper for distri
bution In the Island, and In a hl.-h be
rnsde the mot bitter and virulent attacks
on Governor Hunt's administration and on
everything American. After Ins return to
the Island and the organization of his
Party, the Unionist, that now holds every
seat In the House of Delegate, he be
came dictator of the Island In so far as
the House could shape the policy. The
Exocutlve c-oun-il has been the point of
aftaok. and "Independence" the watch
word. In jl Independence." an organ of
the l.'nlonlst party, published in Ms ramies
by Mr. Medina, a member of the House
of Delegates, there appeared In Its Issue
of May rr. 1o5. the following:
"It Is high time that we should stanl
up for .our outraged dignity. The tear
or Impotence befits only anerilc women.
Gather up In a supreme effort all tlie
blood that circulates In your veins, and
burl It In a spittle of contempt upon the
face of the tyrants that humiliate us:
Tt the soil of this helpless Poland oulver
under the tread of a thousand victorious
heroes carrying ruin and desolation for
ward ! Iare on every spot of ground a
corpse and a hearth In mourning, and hv
the flaring light of the burning torch
which devours t ae woods and the flcldrl
you will see the northern hogs flee be
fore you and hide the filthy coarseness of
their lives In some nbscrare nook where
the caresses of the sun never penetrate."
And these are the men who have come
to Washington to ask for larger political
powers! Nothing more disastrous could
happen than to make the upper house
elei-tlve. thus giving Rivera and h!s class
absolute control of the government.
It is fortunate that President Taft un
derstood the situation and could . grapple
with the problem tinderstand'ngly. Ijls
recommendation to Congress that the Kor
aker act be so amended as to make It im
possible, for the llous of Delegates to
hold up the government Is a wise one.
The Island Is prospering in spite of these
agitators, and It wants only quiet and
confidence to bring contentment to all the
people, always excepting the professional
agitators.
It Is not f.ilr to Judge of the Porto Ri
cans as a whole by these unfortunate ex
amples. Remove these and we will have
left the elements for a splendid state In
the near future. The new generation will
be the finished product of our American
school system. The dominant class at
this time Is one of old Spain's mlsfifs.

of the Cowllts would be preferable to
dredging, though both would Insure
more rapid results.

Here is what the leading lard packer says in a recent advertisement:
"Leaf is the cream of lards. There is not enough of it to supply one-tenth of the
people, and so it goes only to those who insist upon it."
Does it not stand to reason that if there is only enough of the proper fat
produced to make pure leaf lard to supply one-tenth of the demand that the chances
are nine to one against j-our getting pure lard? The only absolute protection
against getting common hog fat when you buy lard is by buying CottoUne instead.
Cottolene is a pure vegetable product made from cotton seed oil, refined by
our exclusive process. It contains no hog fat and makes palatable, nourishing
food which will agree with the most sensitive stomach.
