Murder of Rich Oklahoma Oil
... Man Is Charged. ..
GIRL STOPS IN EL PASO
Sheriff Allows Suspect to Pass
MgJit With Family Start
to Be Hade Today.
EL PASO, Tel., Dec 22. (By the
Associated Press.) Worn and weary
after her long- flight, which carried
her from Ardmore, Ok la., to Chihau-
fcan City, Mexico. Clara Barton Smith,
wanted In Ardmore on a complaint
charging murder in connection with
the death of Jake L. Hamon, Okla
homa millionaire, tonight surrender
ed in Jaurez, Mexico, to Sheriff Gar
rett of Ardmore, but later was al
lowed to pass the night with her
family here.
Sheriff Garrett announced he would
Btart with Miss Smith on the return
trip to Ardmore tomorrow. The sher
iff made the following statement to
the Associated Press:
Bond to Be Given at Once.
"Clara says she will make her $10,,
000 bond the first thing after reach
"'6 Aramore, win pass a day or
two with relatives In Carter coun
ty, Oklahoma, and then will return
to El Paso to make her home with
her parents. When her trial is called.
Miss Smith will of course go back
to Ardmore, but her home will re
main here.
"You may tell all th world, too,
that the sympathies of the largest
part of the people of Carter county
are with Miss Smith."
Miss Smith herself declined to make
a statement tonight, pleading her
fatigue and indisposition.
1 want the whole world to know
my story," she told the correspondent
of the Associated Press, "but I could
not give out any connected interview
tonight. All I can say Is that I want
to get back as soon as I can."
Woman Refuses Statement.
A later attempt to get a statement
developed the information that Miss
Smith was HI and that a physician
bad been summoned.
It was learned that she had been
advised by her attorneys not to make
any statement.
The surrender of Mis Smith ended
a nation-wide search for the woman
which began November 22 when the
prosecuting attorney at Ardmore ob
tained warrants for her charging her
with the shooting of Hamon and with
a statutory offense.
Hamon was shot 'in his hotel at
Ardmore, Sunday, November 21. He
"walked to the hospital where he said
a gun he bad been cleaning was ac
cidentally discharged. He died No
vember 26.
Greeting at Home Pathetic.
Garrett said that he would tele
graph to Kansas City to have Miss
Smith's trunks, which were opened
there some weeks ago, sent back to
Ardmore.
"I have nothing to wear except
this," pointing to -her blue serge dress,
the girl told the sheriff.
According to a friend of the family
who was present, the greeting at the
house was dramatic.
"Dad, good old dad," the return
ing daughter shouted as her father
came out to meet ber. They em
braced. Mrs. Smith came from another room
and Clara flung herself into her arms.
"Clara," All Mother Says.
"Clara!" was all the girl's mother
aid.
.Miss Smith said nothing, but clung
to her mother a. full minute.
"Would you have run away from
Ardmore if you had seen me at my
window r the sheriff was .said to
have asked the girl.
"Run away 7" repeated Miss Smith,
as she shot a sidelong glance and
smiled. "I didn't run away. I drove
up and down for a long time after
the shooting, as you know. If I had
een you I would nave gone to you.
You're the very one I did want to
see."
. Father Make Statement.
The sheriff continued: . .. x
"If I had been passing by your
house in Chihuahua would you have
called to me?"
"You bet I would," she replied.
To a newspaper man' who had
known the family for some time the
father of the girl made this state
ment: .
"I have had barely time to talk
. with our girl. I only know that God
must have been with her In her move
ment. A man she met on the train as
she rode from Juarez to Chihuahua
must have been heaven-sent. She had
never seen him before. They did not
even talk the same language. He
approached her, knowing she was in
trouble, and volunteered to shield her.
And Clara reposed her trust in him

All Believed to Have Been Either
Crushed by Slide or Suffo-
cated to Death.
' SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 22. Four
miners were caught in a cave-in on
the flth level of the Pacific Coast
Coal company's mine at Black Dia
mond, Wash., near here, today and
were believed . either to have been
crushed by the elide or suffocated.
The men were Carl Hevlin, Joe Grill,
Frank Bussey and Frank Nevone, all
residents of Black Diamond.
According to S. H. Green of Seattle,
manager of the coal company, there
was little possibility of rescuing any
of the men alive, as they were caught
In a small area dsep underground. A
hundred miners were working tonight
in two-hour shifts in an effort to
clear away the debris.
The slide occurred early today,
when the 11th level was filled with
workmen. The shoring in the level
gave way, precipitating tons of coal
and rock Into the tunnel and cutting
off the four men from their com
rades. Six men were at first be
lieved to have been entombed, but a
final check of the men reduced the
number to four.
STATIC SPARKS SET FIRE
Robbing of Silk Causes Gasoline to

BEND, Or, Dec. 22. (Special.)
Static electric sparks, resulting from
the friction of the folds of a silk
dress being rinsed in a tub of gaso
line at a local cleaning plant, ignited
the cleaning fluid this morning. G. E.
Olson, proprietor of the establish
ment, heard a warning crackle and
an instant later, as he was with

into flames.
He hastily threw the tub and Its
contents out the open door and ex
tinguished the flames that had caught

caught on the outside of the building.
but was put out before any consid
erable damage could be done, by the
volunteer fire department.
Although several other tanks of
gasoline were in the building none

FAIR CULPRITS AT EASE
Women Smugglers Escape Search
When Men Take Customs Jobs.
.OTTAWA, Ont., Dec. 22. Women
smugglers, not the desperate criminal
type, but those who live in border
towns and do their Christmas shop
ping in the United States, breathed
more easily today with the with
drawal of the special .women cus
toms officials.
In many cases thorough search by
these women Inspectors revealed that
fair shoppers were returning to Can
ada clad almost entirely in new gar
ments. The fair culprits usually were
unprepared thus extemporaneously to
pay the extreme penalty of confisca
tion, and hurry-up calls by long dis
tance telephone bringing relatives to
the rescue with the amount of duty

Republicans Admit Bill
Will Die in Senate.
PARTY'S MARGIN TOO SMALL
Two Measures Probably Best
Farmers Will Get.
JOINT MARKETING IS ONE
Revival of "War Finance Corpora
tion Regarded as Other Brit
ish Activity . Studied.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Dec. 22. Republican
senators in telegrams to their farmer
constituents today were frank in ad
mitting that the emergency tariff bill
passed by the bouse today has no
chance to get through the senate.
A canvass of .the democratic side
uncovered a determination among the
enemies of protection to beat the
farmers' tariff bill by any method
necessary.
With t,he narrow republican margin
in the senate republican leaders, anx
ious to help the agricultural sections,
today despaired of being able to do
anything. The best that' the farmers
probably will get out of this congress
will be the Joint resolution revising
the war finance corporation and the
bill authorising the farmers to form
organizations for co-operative max
keting. Early Aid In Prospect.
By revising the war finance corpo
ration some actual and immediate aid
is in prospect because large sums will
become available to provide credits
in foreign countries for the purchase
of America's surplus farm product;
As to the measure permitting
operative marketing, there is doobt
that it will serve any very useful
purpose in the emergmcy
One of the present difflcalties
pointed out is that Great Britain,
which is doing not only its own buy
ing, but a large part of the buying
for some of the countries of Europe,
Is maintaining one central buying
agency as in war time, which is mire
than a match for any scheme so far
evolved on this side of the water.
Checkmate Action Probable.
It is contended by some students of
the situation that the United States
needs to revive some plan of han
dling its products through one central
agency after the fashion in which
Herbert Hoover handled all the grain
of this country througn the war
period.
It will not be unexpected If. when

Oregon Senator Suffering From
Prostatic Trouble.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Dec 22. The condition
of Senator Chamberlain remained un
changed today, it was said at the
emergency hospital. There is nothing
alarming about his illness, but it was
admitted that an operation might be
necessary to give him permanent
relief. '
The Oregon senator is suffering
from prostatic trouble, which was one
of the most severe complications or
the president's long illness. His case
has been placed in the hands of Dr.
Fowler, formerly of Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, who was one of
the specialists called into consulta

condition waa the most unsatisfactory.-
The question of an operation

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22. The In
dian population of California has been
reduced in 70 years from 210,000 to

Five thousand of the prese.nt Indian

other 15,000 are scattered over the
state, mostly in the mountain coun
tries, with no land of their own. The

GENERATION OF EUROPE WI
Robber Is Frightened Off and
Xeaves Car After Two Men Have
5 Been Relieved of Valuables.
K A LAMA, Wash.," Dec. 22. (Spe
cial.) An unidentified man, garbed
in a soldier uniform, tonight held up
passengers In the observation coach
of Great Northern passenger train No.
459, bound from Seattle to Portland,
about one mile south of Kelso. Two
passengers, Alfred Smith and High
McWhinnie of Bellingham, ' Wash.,
were robbed, but the outlaw became
frightened apparently and pulled the
emergency controlling the air brakes
and? leaped from the train.
The robber - boarded the train at
Kelso, climbing on the rear' platform,
and --after the train had proceeded
about a mile covered all the passen
gers In the observation coach with a
revolver and ordered them to throw
up their hands. -.After
he had forced the two Bcll
Ingmen men to deliver what money
they possessed apparently the robber
became frightened and when the train
had slowed down in response to his
pull of the air brake cord he leaped
from the rear platform and disap
peared into the brush. He fired a
shot Into the air as he left the train.
The holdup took place at 6:20 P. M.
Sheriff Hoggatt of Cowlitz county
was notified) of the holdup and at once
organized a -posse which went in pur
suit of the outlaw. - -
Passengers on the train described
the robber as a man of about 25 years
of age, of dark complexion and 5 feet
iu m-cnes in neignt-
Passengers of the Great Northern
train were saved from a wholesale
hold-up only by the swift action of
a Pullman porter, in the opinion of
T. P. Broderick, conductor of No. 459,
who described the affair last night
after the train bad arrived at the
Union station. v
While the one robber was boarding
the train by the rear platform at
Kelso, two other rough locking char
acters attempted- to force their way
onto one of the sleepers. The Pull

men,
man porter, Dixon, was apprehensive
because of the appearance of the two
and clammed the door in their
faces Just as the train pulled away
from the station.
The lone outlaw, it is believed, saw
from the rear of the train that his
two confederate had failed to get
aboard, and he was afraid to attempt
going through the cars alone. That
the robbery was carefully planned
and executed by men familiar with
their work was made apparent, ac
cording to Broderick, by the fact that
the robber stopped the train by pull
ing the air brakes instead of the
signal cord, thus bringing the engine
to an instant stop.
A railway express messenger, who
was in the dining car at the time of
the robbery scare, immediately
flashed off the lights of the car to
hinder the robber. The outlaw, how
ever, did not attempt to go forward
through the train, but leaped into
the brush adjoining the tracks, after

WHISPERING DOGS WOMAN, 75
Only Pillories and Whipping
Posts Are Missing.
RELIEF SOUGHT IN COURT
Accusations Are Attributed to Fakir
Who Was Exposed While Sell
ing Supposed Charms.
ELLWOOD CITY. Pa., Dec. 2!.
(Special.) If the residents of Salem,
Mass., just before the beginning of
the 17th century, could have stepped
into Ellwood City today they would
have rubbed thilr eyes and pinched
themselves to see whether they were
moving in the 20th century or in the
days when witchcraft was punishable
by death or public servitude
Only the pillories and the public
whipping posts are missing. Every
thing else is there. There is the ac
cused woman, Mrs. Augustino Tar
tarcio. aged 75 years, and her accus
ers. There are the children who shun
her and fear to go near her home,
lest they run counter to the evil spell
or curse she is reputed to cast upon
those who incur her ill will.
Woman Weeps In Court.
Tonight the aged woman, most ed
ucated person in "Little Italy," which
has suddenly become a Salem, stood
in the court of Justice Swlck, asking
absolution from the charges which
have been made against her. Tears
streamed down the face, wrinkled
and worn with age. when she found
that the case must be postponed until
January 5. Illness of counsel pre
vented hearing of the ease which
Mrs. Tartarclo has filed against An
tonlo Capnano. her chief accuser.
Justice Swick, a modern Governor
William Fhipps. has been asked to
decide the guilt or Innocence of the
woman. In fact, he has been asked to
say whether, or not there is such a
thing as witchcraft.
Punishment la Sought.
If the woman is guilty, then Cap
nano must be discharged, say the
townspeople. If she is Innocent, he
must be punished, and the residents
and Justice Swick are in a quandary
"I have heard more about witch
craft in ten days than balem ever
dreamed," he said today. "I have
heard it from all angles, I have heard
of all sorts of stories, and what is
the verdict? Mrs. Tartarclo charged
she was slandered by Capnano. She
charged he circulated the stories of
her witchery. If she falls to sup
port her charges, the defendant must
go free. And in this event well
no one can foretell the future."
The plaintiff is a social outcast
among all except the more educated
folks. She Injected a new phase into
the case today by announcing that
a dislike borne of her exposure of his
fraud In selling "enchanted crosses"
led Capnano to circulate the false
charges.
Man's Bualncaa Slumps.
She said Capnano Is a man of
"wits." She said be lived by these
"wits," selling- to the uneducated
countrymen a little cross, supposed !
to cure the possessor of all kind, of
ills and keep him well. With the
cross went a formula or receipt for
good health. He came to grief, shn
said, when he tried to sell her one.
Above the average intelligence of
Italian women, she refused to buy
and chlded him for the fraud. Shn
did more, she told his friends of the
fraud. His business- slumped, it
dwindled away.
Then suddenly came the charge
against the woman. "She's a witch"
was the whisper which went around.
"She's a witch," was repeated from
tongue to tongue. The children took
It up, they ran when she approached.
They still dd it, for that matter
and in a few days "Little Italy" was
a volcano, threatening momentarily
to burst forth and envelop' the
woman. .
"Witching" Charge Goes On.
Andy Rossi, seriously 111, was told
he could not get well because Mrs.
Tartarclo had "bewitched him." He
attempted suicide, failed, was under
care of friends for several days, then
finally got well and left the commu
nity to cast off the evil spell.
The "witching" charge went fur
ther. Iwent to the home of a little
child for whom Mrs. Tartarclo had
stood godmother. The child was yi
and the fond godparent visited it
early every morning, ministering to
it as best she "could. "Watch the per
son who visits the child every day,"
was the whisper which the child's
parents heard. "If the child dies, V.
will be her doings," said another
whisper. '
' And the following day Mrs. Tartar
cio was cast out of the house after
being badly beaten. She was blamed
for the child's condition.

Then Capnano departed for Italy, but
