FUGITIVE LAW IS INVOKED Bullet Finds Mark When Victim Seeks Freedom. DEATH SOUGHT V f NEGRO White Slave InvesJgator Wo' ed hy Captors When on Govern m. : .t Business and Condition 19 Regarded aa Grave. EL PASO, Tex., July 26. Charles B. Dixon, of San Diego. United States Im migration Inspector, was shot In the back by Mexican federal soldiers at Juarez today. The soldiers are said to have Invoked the notorious "ley fuga," or fugitive law. Dixon was seriously wounded and Is likely. to die. Dixon was In Juarez on official busi ness, investigating: a white slave case, when he was arrested by a band of federal soldiers, who started to march him away from the city In the direction of the foothills, where many executions have taken place. Dixon started to run, and, after getting a block away, was fired on. Dixon made a statement this after noon In Juarez to American officials that he was satisfied the Mexicans were marching him out to shoot him when he ran. He said the Mexican soldiers were drunk. Soldier Bribed by Ncsrro. Dixon was sent by a superior to Juarez to see a negro In connection with a white slave case that was being investigated here. He says he believes the negro, after he had talked to him In Juarez, bought drinks for the sol diers and Induced them to arrest him. "I told the soldiers I would go with them to tha commandant's office," Dixon said this afternoon, "but. in stead of taking me In that direction. they started with me in the direction of the outskirts of the town. As I had on a suit of khaki, I thought that per haps they had taken 'me for a United States soldier acting as a spy, so I ran and they shot me after I had got about half a block away from them." Ball Got) Though Body. Dr. J. H. Tappan, of the Immigra tion Service in El Paso, went to Juarez and treated the wounded man. He found that Dixon -was shot in the email of the back, the ball going com pletely through his body and coming out through his stomach. It did not strike the spine. F. W. Berkshire, Supervising In spector for the United States Immigra tion Service on the Mexican border, im- jneuimeiy went to Juarez,, accom panied ,by Clarence Gatley, an in spector in the service, to look after Dixon, and were both arrested and de tained at the military barracks for a time, but were later released. They took up the matter immediately with Miguel Diebold, Inspector of Mexican Consuls in El Paso, with a view to having Dixon removed to El Paso. Immigration men say that a half-negro lieutenant in the federal army ln Juarez, a friend of the negro under Investigation, was instrumental In causing the arrest and the shooting. Ordinarily, United States Immigra tion men are permitted to work in Juarez, under an. agreement with Juarez officials. Removal From Hospital Refused. After arguing all afternoon with the Mexican federal colonel. Vasquez, in Juarez, F. W. Berkshire, Supervising Director of the United States Immigra tion . Service; Clarence G. Gatley, in spector: Dr. J. H. Tappan, surgeon, and American Consul Thomas D. Edwards, were unable to secure permission from the federals for Dixon's removal to an El Paso hospital. The federal authorities refused to .allow the wounded American to be moved from the military hospital where he was taken. Federal soldiers guard the ward where Dixon lies, re fusing admission to everyone except Dr. Tappan. A Japanese male nurse Is waiting on him. Dr. Tappan said that v.o leaimg easy ana has no fever. The Jury which is hearing .the case has taken the evidence of the com plaining witness, he says, and tonight Supervisor Berkshire Is- endeavoring to arrange a bond to enable .Dixon's re moval to El Paso.

MACK AY TAKES UP ABODE IN MAINE NEW fORK CAPITALIST'S WIFE LEASES NEW HOME. Knmors of Separation Grow Apace Since Postal Telegraph Presi dent Sailed for Europe. PORTLAND Me.. July 26. (Special.) Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay arrived here late Thursday night and took posses sion of the residence on the Western promenade which she recently leased from ex-Mayor Leighton. Furnishings for the house were shipped several daj-s previously and five servants pre ceded Mrs. MacKay to get the house ready. It is understood that Mrs. Mackay has taken the house for a lease of sev eral years, with an option of indefinite time. She refused to be Interviewed. With this action of Mrs. Mackay it appears that the rumors that there were nes'o troubles in the Mackay fam ily have some foundation and that Mrs. Mackay has taken up her residence here to institute divorce proceedings In the near future. It was three weeks ago that Mr. Mackay took the youngest of his three children and boarded a liner for a Eu ropean trip. Mrs. Mackay at that time denied that there was any trouble be tween herself and her husband, but It was said then that friends of the fam ily expected a legal separation would follow in due time. The Mackays were married In New York 15 years ago and have two daugh ters and a son. It Is the boy with whom Mr. Mackay is making his Eu ropean trip. The daughters are with the mother, who was the beautiful Katharine Duer, author, before her marriage to the New York capitalist and president of the Postal Telegraph Company. Mrs. Mackay's only book, which made her well known to the reading public, 1 "The Stone of Destiny." which was published in 1904. Since that time, al though she has contributed to maga zines, she has contented herself with her home and children. SEATTLE FIGHTS BAD FRUIT Inspector Condems Big Shipments From California. SEATTLE, July 26. (Special.) At tempts of California growers, brokers and distributers to foist wormy and damaged fruit on the Seattle market have met with vigorous resistance by F. M. Rhodes, district horticultural in spector, and one assistant, but with the height of the season and receipts of eight to ten carloads a day, Mr.. Rhodes said today he was unable to cope with the situation, and had asked his depart ment to take up with the County Cora missioners the matter of appointing one or more deputies to assist in handling the problem.

FOREIGNERS SEEK MOUNTAIN REFUGE Americans in China Take Precautions. VOLUNTEERS GUARD PASSES Women and Children Concen trating in One City. K0 LING IS THOUGHT SAFE Europeans Believe President Yuan Will Prevail, Though Dr. Sun May Develop Ability as Cre ator of Rebellion. PEKIN, July 26. Volunteer Ameri cans, British and other citizens are to night guarding the approaches to the mountain town of Ku Ling, where thou sands of foreigners, mostly American and British women and children, have taken refuge from the heat of the Chi nese Summer months. The few Amer ican bluejackets on the heights are maintaining signal communication with the United States gunboat " Helena, which is lying off the river port of Ku inei a nave Deen aoie to see 1 . . ... some of the fighting between the gov ernment forces and. the rebels from their position on the mountain top. They advise other foreigners to remain away irom i.u Ling, owing to the dif ncuities or communication and the shortage of provisions. Right Rev. Logan H. Roots. Blshor, of Hankow, advocates the safeguarding of 4-u Ling as a place of refuge for for eigners. Civilians believe, despite the proximity oj the fighting, that Ku Ling is a safe place. Only one Instance of interference with foreigners has been reported. Decisive Battle Needed. In the fortnight of revolution, the northern or government troops have had the better of the fighting at the three main points of fighting, namely Shanghai,. Ku-Kang and along the Tientsin-Pukow Railway. While much ammunition has been expended by. gun firing, lasting several days, there has been no decisive battle, which foreign ers believe Is essential to Provisional President Yuan Shi Kai's -ultimate success. The sizes of the armies engaged arb small compared to those fighting In the Balkan war. At Shanghai the north ern troops on shore number 2000, while pitted against them are 4000 southern ers. The army of General Chang Hsun. hich repulsed the rebels above Su Chow-Fu, numbers less than 5000 offi cers and men. . The largest northern army consists of probably 15,000 to 20,000 men and is now in the province of Kiang-Sl.

IRE OREGON LAND TO BE THROWN OPEN New Federal Policy to Affect Vast Acreage. ACTION DUE BY END GF YEAR Tracts Now Are in Siuslaw and Paulina Reserves. MOVE BOON TO SETTLERS Intention Is to Return Agricultural Acres Now in Forest Areas to Public Domain Change tn . Laws Being Considered. Thousands of acres of Oregon agrl cultural land heretofore included in the National forest reserves will be thrown open for settlement before the end of the year. .Most of this land is in the Siuslaw and in the Paulina National forests. but acreage in other districts also may be affected. Within the last year the Federal Forestry Bureau has been developing a more liberal attitude toward pros pecttve settlers. This new attitude is finding expression in the apparent pol icy of the forestry officials to return all agricultural land within the forest areas to the public domain. Policy la Interpreted. The recent visit to Oregon of Henry S, Graves, chief forester of the United States, and the approaching visit of David Franklin Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, are for the purpose of in terpreting to the people of this state the meaning of this newly developed policy. In repeated utterances while in Port land and other parts of the state last week Forester Graves expressed his in tention of throwing open to entry var lous tracts of agricultural land in the Siuslaw forest. He made a personal .visit tooths J5luslaweserve. It was his Intention, when coming to Oregon, also to visit the Paulina re serve in Central Oregon, where large tracts of agricultural land are held within the boundaries of the National forests. However," through the agency of the. Oregon Conservation Commis sion, Mr. Graves was able to procure such complete and reliable Information on the Paulina situation . that ha was not, required, to go there... He accepted these reports as final,' and basing his opinion' upon their contents he an nounced his intention to recommend the return of this land to the publio domain. Present DiMpute Likely to End. It is understood here' that settlers already on the land that has been in dispute between the individual settlers and the forestry department will be allowed to remain without further pro ceedings. However, no one will be al lowed to enter upon the arglcultural land now a part of the National for - (Concluded on Page 4.)

The dream of two weeks In the fresh air and new scenes of the great Ore gon "out-doors" that lies beyond the limits of Portland, became a reality yesterday for half a hundred children, in whose minds it has been the one great thing for more than a week, when the first "fresh air" party or ganized by the Associated Charltlea left for a vacation outing on the farms about Silverton. The rush and hurry of organizing the party and fitting the children out with clothing for the vacation, which had characterized the two days preceding, was nothing compared to ' the scene that marked the departure. Youngster Eager to Start. The moment that they had been waiting for, almost sleeplessly, was at last near enough to be measured by minutes, and the happy boys and girls, tingling with . excitement, seemed on the verge of explosion at times because the sluggish minutes would not crawl faster. "All aboard for Silverton!" It was 8:30 when this call came which, definitely assured them that, it was really something more than a dream. As early as 6:30 the boys and girls who were to make the wonderful trip began to assemble at the Associated Charities rooms. They wanted to be sure they weren't late. The little ones who lived in the suburbs were gathered in by members of the committee and their friends, whose automobiles were at the disposal of the youngsters. Sleep Driven Away. Some of the society women on arriv ing at the homes found the youngsters not yet dressed and they rolled up their sleeves and went to work, helping to wash faces and button up dresses. One little girl said, "I was so excited I didn't sleep a wink. I was thinking about the new dress and the lovely sandals that had been given me." Among those who donated the use of their automobiles for transporting the little vacationists were Mrs. Antolne G. Labbe, Mrs. Scott Brooke, Mrs. W. B. Ayer, Mrs. Edward Cookingham, Mrs. Frank Gilchrist Owen, W. G. Cox, Carroll Dunning, Frank C. Rlggs, Mrs. Max Houser, Oregon Taxicab Company. H. C. Campbell, John H. Young. R. L. Rush and John Alnsworth. Cheerful Service Given. Miss Hazel Dolph, general chairman of the committee, had the assistance of a splendid corps of enthusiastic workers. Miss Hazel Crocker and Miss Ada Dolph have done excellent work as members of the personal hygiene committee. Every need of their lively little charges was foreseen and attended to by the "Ladles Bountiful," who moved smiling among the little ones, enjoy ing with them their wonder and de light over the great event. When the 63 were finally "rounded up" at the association rooms it was 8 o'clock. At the last moment one child announced that she had no underwear. A hurried sorting of garments soon remedied the deficiency. Outside the Commercial building a string of autos awaited the happy throng of children. "Gee, but this is grand," said one small boy. "I never was In a ottermoblle before." WillinK Hands Give Help. At the depot the party was the ob served of all observers. Never had such a delegatioin been seen there. The gatekeeper, the good-natured policeman, everyone seemed to take an interest (Concluded on Face 12.) HIND V
