OkEGONIAS NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 9. (Special.) That the
Uepartment of Justice and Interior De
partment are working jointly to col
lect information on which to indict
him for fraud -was declared today to
the House public lands committee by
K. A. D. Puter. and in substantiation
of his statement he read to the com
mittee various affidavits made by per
sons whom he had located on Oregan
and California lands testifying- to the
activities of II. H. Childers, special
agent of the land office.
Mr. Puter expressed little concern
over the effort of the Government to
bring about his indictment for the
method he has pursued in making lo
cations on the land grant. He said
his operations were within the law and
offered to drop the entire matter if it
were shown he had proceeded illegally.
3ie complained bitterly that the Gov
ernment departments were trying to
ciiscredit him in the eyes of persons he
liad located on the grant lands.
He then read the affidavits, mostly
made by his clients in Montreal, and
read letters he had written the Attorney-General
and Secretary of Interior
transmitting to them affidavits and
asking them to require their agents to
"change their tactics."
Mr. Puter said he" had been on prac
tically every township in the land
grant and knew well its character and
ivorth. He ridiculed the value placed
n the timber by the Government and
by the railroad company. He said that
t the most there was not to exceed
S. 000, 000. 000 feet of commercial timber
on the grant. It would range, he said,
from 60.000 to 15,000,000 feet to the
claim.
"No timberman in the country would
give more than $4,000,000 for all the
limber," said Mr. Puter. as he con
trasted his estimates with Government
estimates fixing the timber value at
from $30,000,000 to $75,000,000.
"The railroad company." he added,
says this timber is worth $24,000,000,
but yesterday they told you they would
take $10,000,000 in cash, and get out.
It you offer the railroad $5,000,000 they
will grab it as quick as a trout will
a fly."
For a second time Mr. Puter charac
terized the Attorney-General's amend
ment legalizing executory contracts
covering 80,000 acres as a "steal.'.'
"If the Wilson bill which you advo
cate should go through you personally
would get 4000 to SOOO acres of valu
able timber lands for- $2.50 an acre
under your contracts with some hun
dred or more applicants whom you
located." interjected Representative
Lenrool. "Would that be any less a
steal for you than for the persons hold
ing executory contracts with the rail
road company?"
"If I took you on a quarter section
and you were permitted to get title
and you would agree to give me one
Dialf interest, that would be perfectly
right and just," replied Mr. Puter.
'There is nothing in the law that pro
hibits your making such a contract
-with me."
WOMAN TELLS HER STORY
(Continued From First Page.)
north told her that Villa had 3000 men
and 6000 horses.
"It appeared to me as if he had twice
that many men and horses," she added.
Just before sne and her husband were
taken prisoners with the Hayden boy,
Mrs. Wright said, the Villa men told
her husband they had raided Colonial
Juarez, an American Mormon settle
ment west of Pearson, looted all stores
of flour and provisions and killed some
of the foreigners. She had learned
nothing further in corroboration of this
story, she said.
Pretend to Be Friends.
"Servantees. with 12 men, came to the
ranch the night of March 1," Mrs
"Wright said in her story. "They pre
tended to be Carranza soldiers and
asked me if I had any food to sell. My
husband and Frank Hayden had been
to Pearson buying supplies, and were
not at home. I told them we had only
a littl flour and meal just enouga
for our family and the family of a Mex
ican employe. I was cooking, in ex
pectation of my husband's arrival home,
and Servantes asked if he might buy
eome food for his men. I told him I
would give him and his men some
thing to eat. .
Baby Left With Mexican.
"So I went into the house, but soon
afterward a soldier came in and said
my husband wanted to see me. When
J went out he told me to leave the
baby with the wife of the Mexican,
who had also been taken a prisoner.
1 did that. The soldier and I went out
together after he told me that my hus
band was at the top of a hill a short
distance- away.
"The soldier told me to mount behind
on his horse. When I refused he put
me on one of his pack mules taken
from my husband. 1 was suspicious
and said so. 1 thought they intended
to take me away, but the soldier told me
everything was all right, but I did not
aee my husband. When I called he
did not answer; then said: 'I am go
ing back to my baby.
"The .soldier replied, 'We have given
your baby to a Mexican family.' That
made me frantia, and I said. 'I am going
right back to my baby,' whereupon the
soldier drew his sword and declared
if I did he would kill me. I dismount
cd from the mule, but he forced me
b-k, and I knew then I was a pris
oner. We rode all that night and
reached Jiminez, where we made camp
for three hours. Three hours was the
longest we ever stopped in any 24
until we reached the Boca Grand
Klver.
Villa Refuses Appeal.
"I saw Villa at Jiminez. but he re
fused to talk to me. I am too busy.'
he would always say. 'Talk to one of
my colonels; that is what they are
for." Throughout all the nine days
1 was a prisoner I slept only in the
saddle, or in the camp a little while.
with my head against a tree or stump.
The men guarding me treated me well.
and one of them told me that Villa's
men did not love him, but were ruled
entirely by the fear he had instilled
In them. Villa was protected from
assassins throughout the march by his
officers a score of colonels and gen
erals and by a picked body of men
known as 'dorados.' who camped and
rode by themselves."
"It was just about dark then, and
try husband came into the yard with
two pack mules, which he unloaded.
As soon as that was done some of the
Mexicans caught and saddled the ani
mals. My husband came into the house
and said, 'That looks bad.' I said we
would have to put up with it and do
the best we could.
Food Taken; Husband Seized.
"Servantes became impatient auout
his time and demanded to see our
stores of flour and meaL As soon as I
opened the storeroom' he ordered some
of his men to take all our supplies.
Then they called my husband outside.
The next I saw of him his hands had
been tie'' behind his back. My hus
band called to Hayden and he also was
tied. Then I went, with my baby in
my arms, to Servantes and told him
that he had eaten our food, taken all
of our flour and meal, leaving us noth
ing with which to prepare another
meal, and that I did not think It was
just to make a prisoner of my hus
band. Meanwhile the soldiers, evident
ly taking Servantes' order to confiscate
the flour as permission to loot, began
stripping the house of everything. They
took 13 horses and every other animal
on the ranch. I protested to Servantes
again and he said he would order the
flour to be returned, but the man to
whom he gave the order never re
turned. "My husband was taken out to the
gate of the ranch yard and tied there
with Hayden. I went out with the baby
to see him and saw that they also made
a prisoner of the Mexican who had
been working on the place. All three
were tied up. A Mexican soldier or
dered my husband not to talk. He said
to my husband: 'I am sure they intend
to kill you.' The soldier told me to
shut up, and my husband said he
thought everything would be all right
if I went into the house. He said it
was too cold for the baby outside.
Mrs. Wright then told how the meat
supply and water gave out on the
march through the desert region of
Chihuahua and how men, their tongues
swollen, eyes glazed and absolutely
exhausted, would drop from their
horses, only to be beaten and prodded
with swords by Villa's officers until
they remounted and again joined the
column.
Columbus Attack Lone Planned.
"From the first I knew that Villa
intended to attack Columbus," Mrs.
Wright continued. "That was freely
discussed by the men and the officers.
Some of the latter told me that Villa
intended to kill every American he
could find, but they pointed to me as
an example of their determination not
to harm women. Later, as we ap
proached the border from Boca Grande,
these same officers told me that Villa
his rage growing 'as he neared the
boundary had declared he would make
torches of every woman and child, as
well as every man, in Columbus.
"He intended, they said, to lay waste
the whole of the United States and
would be helped by Japan and Ger
many. At Boca Grande I saw evi
dence of their determination. I did
not see the American cowmen named
McKlnney, Corbett and O'Neil slain,
but I saw officers wearing their
clothing. That was after Villa had
sent out 20 men to break up the Pa
lomas cattle roundup and supply the
hungry column with meat.
"I did not see another American
killed. He appeared in the road just
ahead of the column and a squad took
out after him. He was trampled down
by the horses of a score of men. Then
Servantes dragged the American past
the company with which I was march
ing. Column Rides Over Body.
Just as he got opposite. Servantes
drew bis revolver and shot him in the
neck. The American ran about 40 feet
and fell. The Mexicans stripped him
of his clothing, which they divided.
The whole column then rode their
horses over him and the last man past
fired the parting shot into his head.
He was nothing more than pulp. When
we left Boca Grande I pleaded to be
released," Mrs. Wright added, "but
Servantes. with a smiie, told me that
instead he intended to give me a rifle
and force me to tight with the Mex
icans against the gringoes. I told him
if he did that I would throw the gun
into the river.
" 'If you do.' he said, "I will throw
you in after it.'
"I then told him I could die but once
and that the first one I would fire upon
would be him. and then I would try to
shoot some other officers.
"Servantes turned to some other of
ficers and said: 'I really believe she
would, and so I will not give her a
rifle." " Then, turning to me, he said,
'You are the hardest woman I ever
saw.' I replied, 'This would make any
woman hard.'
Rebel Leader Makes Joke.
"Just before the march for the border
beean I spoke to General Villa again,
asking him to set me free, because- 1
did not want my own countrymen, the
American soldiers, firing on me in the
ranks of the Mexicans. But he laughed
and said that when he got to Columbus
he would give mo my papers in the
office of the bank there. He also said
that the life I had led with his troops
was making me fat. Your cheeks are
rosy and fat," he said. 'Sun-burned and
swollen," I replied.
"We left Boca Grande late yesterday
and I crossed the border west of Co
lumbus before 4 o'clock. The officer in
charge of the company I was with said.
We will lay the town in waste.' ana
Villa said, 'We are to make torches of
every man, woman and child to be
found."
"As we entered the ditch leading past
the American Army camp below Co
lumbus the captain of my company told
me that he and 20 other officers had
crossed the border yesterday as spies
and found that only a few American
soldiers were in camp; that the others
were farther west. He added that
everybody expected an easy time cap
turing and burning the town and de
stroying every American in It. ine
Mexican inhabitants, he told me, were
to be spared.
Woman Set at Liberty.
'I was in the line Villa threw along
the railroad tracks after his troops had
swept eastward through the United
States Cavalry. A bullet hit the sad
dle of my horse as I stood dismounted
behind it. Villa sent his men across
the tracks into the town. Soon I saw
buildings on fire, then tle American
troops apparently got into action, and
in a little while ihe Mexicans came
back.
"Villa rode among them, cursing and
threatening to shoot any man who ran
away. An old soldier named Manuel.
who said he was too sick to tight, had
been detailed to guard me. He said if
he could he would run into the country
with me, because he had had enough of
war, but he was afraid, and I went
back with the retreating forces until
I reached a point near the house where
Mr. Moore was killed and his wife
wounded.
"Here Villa came upon me. I again
asked him to set me iree. ne saia:
'Go, you are at liberty. I went to the
Moores' house and found Mr. Moore
lying face down on the steps, dead;
his wife was in a nearby field, wound
ed. She had seen her husband shot,
but did not know he was dead. Some
American soldiers came by. They
called for an ambulance, and I came
to Columbus with Mrs. Moore."
Mrs. Wright Aids Wounded,
Mrs. Wright assisted surgeons who
attended Mrs. Moore and in the army
can-.p she again assisted in helping the
wounded soldiers. She was then taken
in charge by Colonel Slocum, who put
her to bed. the first bed she had slept
in since March 1. and kept her there all
day and tonight, letting her rise only
to eat a little of what she described
as "real food" and drink a few cups of
tea.
"I have haI nothing for nine day
but mule meat and scorched beef with
out salt." she said.
"You are a real mother." she added,
turning to Mrs. Slocum.
Mrs. Wright came from Santa Clara
County. Alabama.
T. 1 REFUSES TO
SEEK NOMINATION
It Would Be Mistake Unless
Nation Is in 'Heroic Mood,'
Says Colonel.
FREE DELEGATES URGED
Administration Is Flayed and
"Crying, Vital Need" at Com
ing Republican Conven
tion Is Laid Down.
NEW YORK. March 9. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt, now in the West In
dies, in a statement sent to the New
York Evening Mail, declined to allow
the use of his name as a Presidential
candidate in Massachusetts or any
other state. He said he would not be
a party to a factional fight, and added:
"Indeed, I will go further and say
that it would be a mistake to nominate
me unless the country had in its mood
something of the heroic, unless it feels
not only like devoting itself to ideals,
but to the purpose measurably to real
ize those ideals in America."
Mrs. Roosevelt's statement follows:
"This is one of those rare times
which come only at long intervals in
a nation's history, when the action de
termines the life of the generations
that follow. Such times were those
from 1776 to 1789, in the days of Wash
ington, and from 1858 to 1865. in the
days of Lincoln.
"It is for us of today to grapple
with the tremendous national and in
ternational problems of our own hour
in the spirit and with the ability shown
by thoi.e who upheld the hands of
Washington and Lincoln.
Administration Is. Castigated.
"Whether we do or do not accomplish
this feat will largely depend on the
action taken at the Republican and
Progressive National conventions next
June. Nothing is to be hoped from the
present Administration. ... All that
they offer us is a choice between de
grees of hypocrisy and degrees of in
famy. But disgust with the unmanly
failure of the present Administration,
I believe, does not, and I know ought
not, to mean that the American peo
ple will vote in a spirit of mere pro
test. They ought not to, and I be
lieve they will not. be content merely
to change the present Administration
for one equally timid, equally vacillat
iner, equally lacking in vision, in moral
integrity and high resolve. . . We
must clarify and define our policies.
We must show that our belief in our
governmental idea's is so real that we
wish to make them count in the world
at large and to make the necessary
sacrifice in order that they shall count
surely. We of this great Republic have
a contribution to make to the cause
of humanity, and we cannot make it
unless we first show that we can se
cure prosperity and fair dealing among
our own men and women.
Xatlonal Needs Kmphaslied.
"I believe that in a crisis so grave
it is impossible too greatly to mag
nify the needs of the country or too
strongly to dwell on the necessity of
minimizing ard subordinating the de
sires of individuals. The delegates
who go to Chicago will have it in
their pc wer to determine the charac
ter of the Administration which is to
do or leave undone the mighty tasks
of the next four years. That Admin
istration can do an incalculable
amount to make or mar our country's
future.
"The men chosen to decide such a
question ought not to be politicians of
parochial outlook. Still less should
they be politicians controlled by sin
ister influences from within or with
out. They should be the very beet men
that can be found in our country, whose
one great mission should be to declare
in unequivocal terms for a programme
cf clean-cut, straight-out National
Americanism, in deeds not less than in
words, and internal and international
matters alikj, and to choose as a can
didate a man who will not merely
stand for such a prosrrnm if
election, but will resolutely and in
good faith put it through if elected.
Free. Delegates Urged.
"June is a long way .off. Many
things may occur between now and
then. It is utterly impossible to say
now with any degree of certainty who
should be nominated at Chicago. The
crying, vital need now is that the men
who next June assemble at Chicago
from tie 48 states and mingle the
views of the entire country shall act
with the same and lofty devotion to
the interests of our Nation as a whole
which was shown in the original Continental-
Congress. They should ap
proach their task unhampered by any
pledge, except to bring to its accom
plishment every ounce of courage, in
telligence and integrity they possess."

NURSE GETS HER LIBERTY
Woman Arrested Here on Kidnaping
Charge Out of Seattle Jail.
SEATTLE. Wash.. March 9. (Spe
cial.) Miss Francis Jack, trained
nurse, arrested February 11 in Port
land and charged here with having
kidnaped the six-year-old son of Dr.
B. M. Storck, was liberated from the
county jail ' this morning. Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney T. H. Patterson
dismissed the complaint against her in
Justice of the Peace J. B. Gordon's
court. Storck is suing for divorce from

The deputy prosecutor says Miss Jack
admitted taking the child from a home
in West Seattle and delivering him to a
friend of Mrs. Storck in Vancouver, B.
C, where it will stay until the divorce
suit comes to trial. Some time ago

Commission to repeal the dog ordi
nance passed yesterday, requiring all
dogs to be muzzled and held ir leash,
nearly 50 canine owners marched to

Try this recipe for making
orange layer cake
Cream one-half cup Cottolene with one cup of sugar
until very light. Add three eggs, one at a time, beat
ing in each for five minutes before adding another.
Then sift two teaspoons of baking powder with two
cups of sifted flour, mixing thoroughly, and add to the
other materials, alternating with a half cup of milk or
water (water if the cake is to be eaten while fresh).
Beat the batter well after all the ingredients are in. Bake
in 2 layers in a moderately hot oven for about 20 minutes.
Cottolene is superior to anything else you can use for shorten
ing or frying. It is wholesome, its use is simple, and it gives
a delicious flavor to all foods that are shortened with or
fried in it.
Order a regular supply of Cottolene, the Natural Shortening,

your convenience.
