Sheriff Later Arrests Harry Baker
by Going to Rooming-House
AVhere He" Stayed lie Owns
Vp to His Part in Robbery.
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

nied knowing anything about it until he
was informed that there was evidence
ajcainrt him of evfn a more serious crime.
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

"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

Trained Nurse Says Promoter
Got Her Money.
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.

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.

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

COLUMBUS. O., Feb. 27. If the Gov
ernment wins its light against the so
called tobacco trust, it will take up labor's
battle against the United States Steel
Corporation, according to a statement
made tonight by Frank S. 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.
The complaints, as stated In the tobacco
case, are analogous to those which could
be brought against the Steel Corporation,
Mr. Monnett said he told Mr. Wicker
sham. adding that the Attorney-General
seemed to agree with him.

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.

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.
