HARRY BAKKR IS CACfiHI BY SHERIFF AND IBFVTY. Just before midnight Saturday Sheriff Stevens and a. deputy. Archie Leonard, arrested Harry Baker, the youth Implicated by Rnss Vdy as his accomplice In the robbery of the Twelve-Mile' House. The arrest was made In front of the Oregonian rooming-house, at Third and Couch streets. whither the officers bad gone. knowing that Baker had roomed there. True to their in slnct. he returned to the place be fore making the flight he had planned. At first he denied all knowledge of the hold-up. but after Udy had told his story in bis hearing In the room where he had been concealed, he owned up. Robs Udy. one of the two boys that held up the Twelve-mile House on the night of January 2S, was arrested at the old Moun tain View Sanitarium, on the East Side. Saturday night by Constables Wagner and Klernan. Ixiter he made a confession of the entire robbery, implicating his cousin, Harry Baker, who is employed at the new. Mountain View Sanitarium, at Bast Sixty-eightlr'street and Division avenue. Mr. Wagner had suspected the boy for some time, owing to the fact that it was known he was familiar with automobiles, as was the leader of the holdups, and also because Mrs. Merrill, wife of the proprietor of the Twelve-mile House, told the officers she believed one of the rob bers was a young man who had a "grudge" against her husband. Mr. Wagner knew of ill-feeling between Udy and Merrill; the boy having worked for the latter some time ago. Last night Constables Wagner and Kier nan went to the Mountain View Sani tarlum after young Udy, after they had sought him at his home. Here his par ents said he was working at the old sanitarium, and the officers went there in an automibile. .As they went down into the boiler-room, young Udy was tele phoning. As Constable Wagner stepped into the room. Udy looked over his shoul der, and recognizing the officer, turned hurriedly to the telephone and shouted, "Beat it, kid, while your shoes are .good." Revolver Found Under Pillow. The officers searched his room, and under his pillow found a revolver, which the boy admitted was his. Cartridges were also found. The officers accused h Kn.r . I. 1 .

At " this he broke down, and told Mr. Wagner he would make a clean breast of the whole affair; He was then taken to the Constable's- office in the Worcester uuiiuiuK, unu 'tuere, later m. tne even ing, made a written confession, which :e signed. Just before the holdup, he said, he and Baker met in his room at the new Moun tain View Sanitarium, where both of the boys were then working, and decided they needed some spending money. It was. then they planned the holdup. The lad's confession is as follows: "My name is Ross Udy. I am 19 years of age.. I was born in Rosaburg. Mont. I am employed at the Waverly Sanita rium as fireman. With Harry Baker, -my coufiin. we planned to hold up the Twelve-Mile House. We drew straws to see which of us would go inside. I lost and had to go Inside. "I telephoned from a little store on the Mount Scott line to the Oregon Taxicab Company, asking them to send a car to Sixtieth and Division streets. Baker was to walk along the Section Line road until I came along In the car. When the car came to Sixtieth and Division streets I got inside and we overtook Baker. He then got inside. "I then drew my revolver and made the automobile driver take us to Mer rill's. I took the driver in ahead of me. and he stayed at the front door. I mean Baker stood at the front door. I had my gun in my hand and I made them all irj the saloon put up their hands. "I made Stewart (the barkeeper) open the cash register and take out the money, which was about tJ.6. I put the money in my pocket and then made Mrs. Merrill open the safe and take out the money, about J24.50. "We then got into the automobile again and went down to the Seven-Mile House. We gave Hadderly (the chauffeur) $13 as I wanted to treat him right. I had my gun on him all the time. So did Baker. "We went inside, taking Hadderly ahead of me, and ordered them to put up their hands. Thompson told me I was afraid to ehoot. and made a jump at me. At the same time he Jumped at me I let fly. I don't know if I hit him or not. Baker shot. Thompson grabbed me and fell to the floor. I don't know whether I shot twice or not. "We then ran down the road and went to Ients and took the car to Portland. Afterward we went back to the sani tarium and divided the money, which was $50,55. We burned our masks in the fur nace there. V (Signed) "ROSS UDY." Chauffeur Treated Right." "Hadderly was the chauffeur of the taxicab," Udy said in explaining the con fession. "After we had robbed the Seven-Mile House, we cut across to the Mount Scott carline. and while we were getting there we saw at least six po licemen looking for us. None of the coppers' saw us, though, and if they had I guess we'd have taken a shot at them.

GAVE NOTES IN RETURN Woman Who Cared for His Invalid Daughter Says Colonel Failed in His Obligations and That . She Was Sufferer. Mrs. Frances Baurnes, a trained nurse, declares that for 11 months in 19S she cared for Garland's daughter, who was ill when he resided at G69 Union avenue North, this city. Garland while promoting' the Standard' Trust Company, she says, took: in charge her money and valuables to the extent of $1500, but placed in her hands promis sory notes, signed by himself as presi dent of the defunct trust company. The notes were delivered to her by a mes senger on the day the trust com pany was declared insolvent. ' "Colcnel Garland is a downright scamp!" snapped the comely little woman at her apartments, 308 Morri son street, last night. "I can never forgive liim for the way he treated ne. Indirectly I have always felt that he was responsible for the death of my 16-ycaF-old son, who died a little over a year ago from tuberculosis. If he had given me the $500 or any part of u y money which he had taken from me, I would have been in a position to carry out the Instructions of my son'a physician, send him to a warmer climate and undoubtedly saved his life. Colonel Garland knew the circum stances, too. I told him and pleaded witl'. him to give me money to send mv son to another climate. Dr. Woods, the physician, took the matter up Willi Garland and begged him to pro vide me with funds. "I was engaged as a trained nurse by Colonel Garland in the Fall of 1907. For 11 months I cared for Fannie, his daughter. She is now with her brother, Thomas, in this city. "When I first went to Colonel Garland s house, he introduced me to a woman named Virginia Mendenhall, who he said was his niece, and who kept his house. After I left Colonel Garland discharged her as housekeeper and sent her to Den ver. I have heard nothing of her since. Six months later, and while I was nurs ing Fannie, Colonel Garland married a young woman named Josephine Rice, of Portland. They lived together for four months and then his young wife left him. The marriage came after a brief ac quaintanceship in which the Colonel posed as a millionaire. The girl found out that he was not possessed of any great wealth as soon as she married him." Mrs. Baurnes complained bitterly of her treatment by Garland and told of the methods employed by him to secure her money. "He made me believe I could Invest mj salary and what little money I had to a good advantage in his trust company. I believed him and gave him more than $1000 When my investment reached that amount he came to me one day and said he was short of funds and had not had a bite to eat the whole day. I sympathized with him and in order to tide him over until he 'swung a big deal," as he said, I borrowed money for him to eat with. . I even pawned my two diamond rings to help him. I lost everything because I be lieved what he told me." While in Portland Colonel Garland was a familiar figure about the many hotels of the city, making the Portland his fa--orite piace of meeting acquaintances. News of his arrest caused considerable surprise there, as it was said he had al ways paid his bills promptly, and Iad seemed honorable in every way. Through out the city this was the general im pression among people who knew him; though at the Chamber of Commerce it was said he had one time been ejected from that building for defaulting In a month's office rent. At that time he was engaged in promoting various develop ment companies, and seemed to have plenty of business. R00SEVELTKNEW ROPES Depew Compares His and Taft's Dealings With Press. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. "Roosevelt knew the real way to run the press. If Roosevelt wanted anything, the press knew it weeks ahead, and, as a result, the people were thoroughly agitated." Senator Chauncey M. Depew made this statement in an address tonight before the Amen Corner Club, an or- S i BAIR.VE3 WILLIAM II. GARLAND. ganizatlon composed mostly of news papermen. The Senator was compar ing Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft In their attitude toward the gress. "Now. the difference between Roose velt and Taft," he said, "Is that, Taft has always been .-. Judge, and he knows that the worst thing a judge can do Is to reveal his decision before he ut ters it. So we find him complaining In a recent speech, that the press either patronizes or hammers him." SALT LAKE MAY YET WIN EMISSARY GOES TO BAY CITY TO SEEK BIG FIG.HT. Dissension Again Reported to Have Broken Out Between Rickard and Gleason. SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 27. Joseph Nel son, president of the Saltair Beach Com pany, of Salt Lake City, who is said to represent interests in the Mormon city which are trying to get the Jeffries-Johnson fight for that city, arrived here Satur day and held a conference wth Tex Rickard. Just what progress was made could not be learned, as Rickard refused to make a statament and Nelson denied that he came here for the purpose of se curing the big battle for Salt Lake. It was stated, however, upon reliable authority that a definite proposition has been made to Rickard by Salt Lake in terests and that unless San Francisco makes greater efforts to secure the fight than have been evident since Rickard arrived here, it is likely to go elsewhere. A report is in circulation in sporting circles that Jack Gleason has been of fered $15,000 and one-sixth interest in the fight pictures if he will withdraw and leave the entire matter in Rickard's hands. This has been impossible to verify, as all efforts to locate Gleason today were futile. Rickard also was un able to get into touch with Gleason dur ing the day or the night and was en deavoring to find him, it was said, with a view of submitting to him the propo sition made by Salt Lake through Nel son. Gleason's absence from a conference held last night, together wjth the fact that Gleason visited Richmond yesterday to inspect the arena there without Invit ing Rickard, lends color to the reports that the two joint promoters are again ou the point of breaking with each other. EGAN HAS FAITH IN COOK Minister to Denmark Awaits Defi nite I'roof of Dishonesty. WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. "I shall be lieve Dr. Cook, the explorer, is an hon est man until there is definite proof to the contrary," declared Maurice F. Kgan, minister to Denmark, in an ad dress here tonight before the Uni versity club. Mr. Egan said the University of Co penhagen had simply declared the rec ords furnished by Dr. Cook were not suflicient to enable it to determine that he had been to the North pole. Fully half the people in Denmark. Mr. Kgan said, still believe Dr. Cook reached the Pole.

Not Antidote, but "Shield," Say Scientists "Yard" Doctor Pur chased Tablets Containing Poi son, Says Chemist's Clerk. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 27. An other poison has been found in the viscera of Colonel Thomas H. Swope and Chrlsman Swope, according to a report made to the family by Dr. Lud wig Hektoen-, Dr. Walter Paines and Dr. Victor Vaughn. An announcement to this effect was made today by one of the Swope attorneys. He refused to go Into details regarding the re port. Just what the poison was Is not known, but. In the language of the scientists, it would be classed as a "mask" or a "shield." Poison Has Strange Power. The doctors are quoted as saying the poison was a type that, although its ultimate effects are as deadly as those of strychnine, has the power to change the symptoms of strychnine poisoning so that evidences of Illness displayed are confusing In their de velopments. Contradictory to the statement of Chesslng Hatred Chase Jordan, the negro "yarb" man, who administered to the Swope family, J. M. Tutt, for merly a salesman for a manufacturing chemist of Kalamazoo, testified today that Jordan at one time had medicine in his office that contained poison. "Yarb" Man Bought Poison. Tutts said, when giving his deposition in Dr. B. C. Hyde's slander suit that, on July 8. he sold Jordan 5000 tablets, con taining, among other ingredients, three grains of acetanalid each and 6000 pills, each of which contained one-eightieth of a grain of strychnine. In giving his deposition in the suit recently, Jordan became indignant when asked if his medicines contained any poisons. He said that he com pounded them froom roots and herbs. Attention was drawn to the white tablets and pills Jordan gave to the Swope family by Mrs. B. C. Hyde, in a statement a few days before the arrest of her husband on a charge of having murdered Thomas H. Swope. STEEL TRUST IS ON LIST If Tobacco Suit Is Successful, Gov ernment's Work Is Cut Out. COLUMBUS. O., Feb. 27.

Monnett, ex-Attorney-General of Ohio, and retained by the American Federation of Labor in the steel case. Mr. Monnett based his assertion on a promise which, he said, Attorney-General Wickersham made to him and to Presi dent Gompers, of the Federation.

Do you Buying a watch is, or ought to be, an important matter, and carefully thought over. A Waltham Watch is something that will last for more than one lifetime that should descend from father to son, from mother to daughter. A Waltham Watch is not like the automobile or bicycle that is superseded every j'ear or two by some new model. A Waltham Watch will last a lifetime, therefore consider carefully when you buy one. Always buy from a jeweler whom you know personally or by reputation, and be sure to get a Waltham Watch adjusted to temperature and position at the Waltham factory, and then have your jeweler regulate it to your personal habit and occupation. Mail order houses are not, in our opinion, properly equipped to handle high-grade watches. Never make the mistake of buying a Waltham Watch from a mail order house; if you want a good watch and a timekeeper always buy a Waltham Watch of a jeweler. WALTHAM WATCH COMPANY, WALTHAM, MASS.

MUCH BOOTY IS CAPTURED Madriz' General Killed and Forces Put to Flight Provisionals Will Soon Combine for March on Capital of Xicuragua. BLUEFIELDS, Nic, Feb. 27. The re cent silence of General Mena was broken today with a report of the victory of the provisionals, in which General Pedro Romero, of the government forces, was killed. The engagement was fought at Morrito, a small town about midway on the east shore of Lake Nicaragua. Mena surprised the government forces, who numbered 180. Besides General Pedro Romero, one government soldier was killed and several of Romero's men were wounded. Sixty prisoners were captured, including two telegraphers. The provisionals also took booty, which included 80 Remington rifles, 15,000 cartridges, 100 sacks of bis cuit, 1600 pounds of rice, 1400 pounds of beans, 1000 pounds of sugar, 1300 pounds of meat, a large quantity of cheese, 100 pairs of shoes and 60 horses, with equipment. Letters found in the government camp showed that General Romero, who ap parently was on his way to join General Vasquez, had been warned to look out for Mena. The provisional leader, with 150 men, left St. Vicente February 22. General Zeledon and General Matuty remained behind. He took a roundabout route in order to approach Morrito from the San Miguelito side. Romero's forces were taken by com plete surprise. They fired wildly for a quarter of an hour and then fled ta all. directions, not having time even to saddle their horses. Romero was bur ied on the grounds. General Mena or dered full military honors at the grave. As General Chamorro is on the oppo site side of the lake, absolute confirma tion of the report that the steamer Victoria is in the hands of the pro visionals is awaited with great interest. With this steamer Mena and Chamorro could join forces in a few hours, leav ing Matuty to guard against the ad vance eastward of General Vasquez, whose forces are reported at Acoyapa and Juigalpa. It is not unlikely that General Mena will remain near Mornito later per haps making an attack upon the enemy in concert with Matuty.
