ABUSE BY MEXICANS
RECITED BY
Beating With Guns Charged
to Carranza Troops.
WORK FORCED BY BANDITS
Mrs. Cora Lee Sturgis Relates How
Home Was Raided and She
Was Used as Messenger.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 5. A dramatic
story of eight months' hardship and
degradation as. a prisoner in a Mex
ican bandit camp was told by Mrs.
' n t--i I yt itru h a VirrinlAn. t l"l (i V
before a senate committee investi- !
eating the Mexican situation.
With tears in her eyes. Mr. Sturgis
told how her old mother. . worn out
by long suffering and humiliation,
died of starvation after their planta
tion had been looted by the bandits
and how she had been forced to go
Into the hills to cut wood and of a
long tramp to another camp with a
secret message from bandit to ban
died sewed In the sole of her shoe.
It was In 1917 that the home of the
Sturgis family, comprising Ir. Stur
gis, a dentist; his wife, the wituess
today, and her mother, was raided by
federal soldiers, who charged them
with giving refuge to rebels.
Woman Iieserlben Brutality.
'"Two of Carranza's captains and a
lot of soldiers came to our home and
beat us with guns," Mrs. Sturgis tes
tified. "When my husband protested
and reminded the bandits that we
were Americans, they pushed him
aside and laughed, saying 'Your old
government is only a bluf.' They
found no rebels, but they were not sat
isfied and wanted to search the roof,
insisting that I go up with them. 1
told them I was an American, not a J
roof climber, but they struck me on
the shoulder with a gun."
Dr. Sturgis reported the raid to
the American consul at Frontero, who
advised the family to remain at the
plantation, the witness said.
Mrs. Sturgis said rebel and Car
ranza forces frequently worked to
gether and that both factions dis
seminated! anto-American propaganda,
including a charge that Henry P.
Kletcher, American ambassador to
Mexico, had accepted $1,000,000 to up
hold the Carranza government. Mrs.
Sturgis said she told the bandit who
made this charge that "it was a lie."
Condition Reported "Awful."
"One of the bandits told me that
Ambassador Fletcher could not return
to that country," Mrs. Sturgis said.
"I don't think Mr. Fletcher knew how
bad conditions were. Why, things
were awful. Once when I 'went to
Mexico City they blew up a train in
front of me and one behind me."
The most thrilling chapter of her
experience followed the capture of the
family by Zapata bandits, who took
everything they could move from the
plantation, including $23,000 in cash.
They were send 40 miles across coun
try to a prison camp, Mrs. turgis and
her husband afoot and the former's
mother on a mule.
Some months later Mrs. Sturgis was
ordered to proceed on foot to another
camp- with a secret message and
warned that unless she returned In
two months, other members of the
family would be killed.
Mother Dead, Husband Starving.
On the waV she stopped at Mexico
City and reported her troubles to the
American embassy. The embassy,
she said, got in touch with Zapata
forces, and It was agreed to send a
Zapata lieutenant back to camp with
her. Meanwhile, a bridge on the way
to the camp where she was to deliver
the message was blown up and the
shoe, with the message in the sole,
was sent by messenger.
Returning to camp, Mrs. Sturgis
found her mother dead and her hus
band dying- of starvation. Some
months later she was released, and
"more dead than alive" walked with
lr. Sturgis over the hills to their old
plantation, to find it bare as a bone.

FIRE IS TRACED TO STILL
HOME IS RAZED BY FLAMES
FOLLOWING EXPLOSION.
S. H. Williams. 202 Hall Street,
Is Arrestee! Prisoner Badljr
Burned in Accident.
Fire attributed to the explosion of
a whisky distillery last- night de
stroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. S.
H. Williams. 202 Hall street, and re
sulted in the arrest of Mr. Williams
on a charge of operating a still. The
prisoner, who had been burned se
verely about the head and hands, was
held for the federal authorities.
Williams admitted to Patrolman
Ramsey, who arrested him, that he
was rigging up a still for operation
on the premises, but denied that the
distillery had anything to do with the
fire. He said the -blaze started when
he accidentally broke a kerosene lamp
with a monkey wrench while tinker
ing with his furnace.
The- Williams home was a email
frame affair, somewhat dilapidated.
The lessees said they had about $300
worth of furniture, which was not
insured. The interior of the house
and all the furniture was destroyed.
The police theory of the fire was
that a kerosene lamp, such as is kept
near the mash to hasten fermentation,
ignited the alcohol fumes from the
n.ash. The police seized the remnants
of the still and also a quantity of
mash, which they held as evidence.
Th.e top of Williams' head was
burned badly and both his hands were
injured. He was arrested when he re
turned home after having his injuries
attended at a drug store.

MURDER EVINCE
FINISHED BY STATE
Witnesses Say ex-Patrolman
Shot Deliberately.
WOMEN JURORS EXCUSED
De'ense Begins Today to Prove
Shot "That Killed Sergeant
Was Fired in Self-Defense.
SEATTLE, Wash,, Jan. 5. (Special.)
Witnesses who were at Hanford
street and Whatcom avenue on the
evening of November 2 told a jury
in Judge Mitchell Gilliam's depart
ment of the superior court today that
Charles E. Roselius, ejc-policeman.
confronting his wife in company with
Guy L. Carleton, police sergeant,
shot Carlton deliberately, exclaiming,
"He'll break up no more homes."
This testimony featured the state's
case -of murder in the second degree
against Roselius. The state rested
late in the afternoon. Intreduction
of evidence In support of Roselius'
plea of self-defense will begin to
morrow morning. Selection of a jury
was not completed until 2:40 In the
afternoon. The examination of tales
men brought out two lines of theories.
Women Are Kxcnsrd.
"If the evidence should sho,w," was
Prosecuting Attorney Brown's query,
"that Roselius shot Carleton because
Carleton had broken up his home, and
If the court should . instruct you. that
such a state of facts is no justifi
cation for killing a man, would you
have any hesitancy in following the
court's instructions?"
Defense attorneys asked repeatedly
whether Jurors understood that under
the law certain killings were justified.
"I believe In the commandment,
"Thou shalt not kill'," said one wo
man, "and I couldn't Justify killing
a man under any circumstances." She
was excused. Another Juror, asked
whether she had formed any opinion
of the case, remarked, "No. I merely
stated to a friend that I thought the
man who was shot got his just de
serts." She, too, was permitted to
withdraw.
In his opening statement for the
defense, Mr. Fulton indicated that it
would be contended on behalf of
Roselius that he had been threaten
ed repeatedly by Sergeant Carleton.
Carleton's attentions to Mrs. Roselius.
said counsel, had provoked Roselius,
who had warned Carleton without
avail. Carleton treated Roselius with
contempt and finally, when they met
on the street, Carleton had moved as if
to draw a weapon, and it was only
then that Roselius shot, the defense
said.
Jitney Driver Testifies.
E.verett Shubert, a jitney driver,
was the first witness for the state.
He told of having been hired by
Roselius to overtake another machine
in which Carleton and Mrs. Roselius
were riding. As they approached the
other car, the witness said, Roselius
fired at least once, presumably at the
tires. Both automobiles then halted.
N. P. Anderson, a motorcycle police
man who happened to pass In another
car just before the shooting, testi
fied that he saw Carleton standing
by his machine. Carleton, recited the
witness, said, "Don't shoot."
"There was a shot and Carleton
sank back. Roselius said he wouldn't
break np anybody else's hame as he'd
broken up his. Roselius seemed ex
cited. I took his gun away from him
with difficulty. There were six shells
in it. Five had been fired; the other
had been hit and failed to explode."
LIGHT ON MEDALS SOUGHT

Secretary Baker Likely to Be Called

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. The contro
versy over the awarding of naval dee.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. Representa
tive Fuller, republican, Massachusetts,
announced hi candidacy today for
delegate-at-large to the republican
national convention, pledged to sup
port Major-General Leonard Wood.
Speaker Glllett of Massachusetts an
nounced his candidacy several weeks
ago.

In the republican party should insist
on having an opportunity of express
ing their choice of a candidate for
president," Mr. Fuller said, "and if
chosen aa a delegate I will vote for
Leonard Wood first, last and all the
time."
WOMEN REQUEST SEATS
Continued From First Pace.)
the women the chance to express
themselves.
"Party programmes always must
be subject to amendment and change
by the responsible living thought,
expressed within the party by men
and women alike. Through It all,
however, must run the supreme mo
tive, and io the republican party that
supreme motive Is and always shall
be the honest, . patriotic, intelligent
effort to promote and safeguard the
best interests of the republlo and lte
citizens.
"There must be in this country two
political parties and both must be
strong and virile. I do not ask that
all women become republicans. To
which party you belong Is of less
consequence than that you belong to
some party, that. you seek the truth,
find It and then act, and act con
tinually. I would rather a woman
Join with our opponents than belong
to no party. One of the first truths
most Important for this large group
of new voters to realise la that their
efforts for right things In govern
ment can be made effective only
through organization. Then let Indi
vidual membership In the party rive
that attention to the party's affairs
which is due the instrument through
which and only through which all In
dividuals can apply their patriotism
In actual participation in government
al affairs."
Concise Platform Outlined.
Chairman Hays, responding to a
suggestion of one of the banquet
speakers, that the republic platform
should be written so concisely "that
It could be printed on a card and car
ried in the hat." listed the following
four suggestions as a platform aim:
' First Success of the party cam
paign. ;
Second Reduction of taxes and the
repeal of those "that crush initia
tive." Third Development of a better re
lation between -capital and labor.
. Fourth Make certain in the nation
an administration of law and order.
General Wood said that the great
issue confronting the country and de
manding the consideration of the re
publican party was the quieting of
unrest among labor.
"A- fierce industrial competition Is
coming soon," said General Wood. "To
take our proper place in this struggle
we must first of all have law and
order among our labor. I am glad to
see women coming into our public
life. Solution of the problems pre
sented by trouble- between labor and
capital should be hastened by the In
troduction of the human element."
General Wood said also that sup
pression of radicalism in this country
must be brought about at once.
Governor Lowden pointed out a
number of ways In which he said the
women could aid in bringing about a
more healthy industrial condition in
the land. "Thoughtful fnen and wom
en." he said, "are going to watch the
census now being taken for the fig
ures that will develop the number of
homes owned by the working men. In
our fight against bolahevlsm there is
no argument so potent as this home
ownership."
FRANKLIN SPEAKER WINS
Miss Margaret Garrison first In
Des Moines Contest.
"First for Franklin high," was the
message that came last night to the
principal of that school from Miss
Margaret Garrison, one of the teach
ers who was in Des Moines last night
to take part in the national prohibi
tion oratorical contest.
Leave of absence was granted Miss
Garrison in order that she might go
east to take part and, as a result she
has the distinction of being the first
woman to carry off the prise.
Winning honors in such a contest is
not a new thing for the teacher as
she was given first place In the Pacif
ic coast division, when she delivered
an address at Los Angeles two years
ago. This entitled her to enter the
national contest, the only woman
among seven speakers from all over
the country.
When a student at Willamette uni
versity. Miss Garrison won much dis
tinction through her oratory and
carried away several prizes. She
worked up through the local, state
and inter-state prohibition contests

United States. She is a daughter of
J. M. Garrison of this city and has
been teaching English and public
speaking at Franklin high since last

covery . by Edward M. Stoddard. 16
Curve street, Brockton. Mass.. that
his father has been living here with
hie (Edward's) sister, the marriage
having been performed: last September

social workers who interested them
selves in the story last September,
the man and his daughter were liv
ing on 7 Steward street, and learning
of the girl's condition they urged the
couple to procure a marriage license
and become married before the child
was born. The wedding was held
September 15, the social workers aid
ing them in the preparations.
The social workers Insist that they
knew nothing about the man and
girl except what they were told. The
man gave his name on the marriage
license as Joseph Edward Smith,
while the girl gave hers as Mary
Agnes Shaw. The city hall records
reveal this information also. the
ceremony, according to tne ponce,

the prosecution. No action Is con
templated . against the minister and
the social workers who aided in the
marriage.

A baby plump, merry,
healthy sometimes
grows into a thin, surly,
sickly child during the
first few years at school.
You have seen children
like that.
The reason for this fail
ure to develop has been
established by science as
mal-nutrition.
Rich foods, pastry, candy and
new bread cannot be assimi
lated by a child's digestive
organism. The result is a
gradual weakening of the vi
tal organs that resulte in
poor resistance to disease and
decreased energy.
The one great rem
edy for mal-nutrition
is MILK. A weak
child should have at
least a quart a day
on which to build
strength and a strong
child should have a
quart a day to re
place the energy con
sumed by a healthy,
growing body.
It is a Mother's duty
to see that every one
of her children has
plenty of Milk to
