Linda Bur- field Hazzard, the woman" "fast cure" specialist, who Is charged with causing the death of Miss Claire Williamson by starvation, was brought to Seattle to , day and lodged In the county Jail. "I will get 10,000 ball all right." said Dr. Hazzard this morning. "The doc tors have been angry because I bave been successful with my cure," she con tinued, "and when Claire died they thought they had a great chance to itet me out of the way. But they won do It" The charge of murder Jn the first decree In lodged against Mrs. Has zard. and her son is trying to get ball for her. Changes Kind About AffidaTit, Br. Hazzard communicated with Pro ecutlng Attorney Stevenson, Of Kitsap county, yesterday, saying that she wished to make a sworn statement With a stenographer Mr. Stevenson went to the home of W. A. Breed, where Dr. Hazzard is In custody, but on arrival there Dr. Hasecard stated that after con suiting with her attorney she changed her mind and the promised statement was not made. Dr. Hazzard has engaged G. TV. Greg ory, of the Seattle law firm of Karr & Gregory, as her counsel. Mr. Gregory and Prosecuting Attorney Stevenson were In consultation this afternoon in the matter of the approval of Dr. Has zara s Donas. One of the first bondsmen to offer security was John ' Karsoher, a well to-do rancher, one of the Incorporators of the Hazzard sanitarium, who accom panled the head of that institution to Port Orchard on her arrest and has since been active In the work of get ting bail. Mrs. Breed, where Mrs. Hazzard has been "Maying, Is an officer of the court regularly deputized .to care for female prisoners of the' county. Under the care of Mrs. Breed Dr. Hazzard spent a restful Sunday and declared she was having a good "visit." Her attorney, Mr. Gregory, cautioned her against mak ing any further statements. Roll In Burfleld, son of the accused woman, went to Port Orchard yester day to assist in securing ball for his mother. Br. Hsszard's Boa Talks. "The report that Dorothea William i son was refused permission to see her sister, Claire, is utterly false," he de clared. "Dorothea would often go Into Claire's room, He in bed with, her, read to her frequently and brought flowers for her room. When my mother brought the two Williamson girls with her from Seattle my father and I did not particularly approve of her action, a. it has not been our custom to take patients into our own home because there are cablna especially constructed for patients. As no cabins were avail able at the time they came they were taken Into our home while cabins were building: for them near by. Before the cabins were finished Claire died. Both girls were cheerful and happy and so agreeable that they overcame my ob jections and those of my father to their presence In our home." "Claire, who was the sicker of the two, said she had ruined her health In taking care of and worrying about her sister Dorothea. Even to the day she left the sanitarium Miss Dorothea expressed great belief In the fasting cure and was well satisfied with the treatment." Until about a year ago Burfleld was a stock company actor playing Juve nile roles. He played at several stock houses in Seattle.

Port Orford, Qr Aug. 7. Port Orford will hold an agate carnival on August 23, 24 and 25, when the Curry County Teachers' institute is .In session here, at which time Governor West and Stato Superintendent Alderman will be pres ent. At a meeting of the Commercial club It was decided to make the agate carnival an annual arrair nere, ror.ao cording to Mr. and Mrs. Jack London, who recently visited Port Orford, there are two of the finest agate beaches in the world at this place. Frank A. Stewart's collection of agates, which took the premium at the Lewis and Clarke fair, will be on ex hlbltlon, as well as the fine collections of many citizens of Port Orford. Prizes will be given for finding the bent agates during the , carnival, also for catching the largest trout in Garrison lake, bordering town and the largest sea fish from the rocks, in addition to the usual prizes for athletic contests.

" -x :v GROWERS OF WOOL . . " 'ROUSED TO FRAUD , ' BY TWO SENATORS (Continued from Page One.) ' and father In building the Olalla sani tarium. Monk Studying the Method. Burfleld states that the fasting cure has gained world wide attention and that this is attested by the fact that a Hlmllayan monk of Scandinavian blood named Charles Johnson is fast ing at Olalla and studying the method with a view of introducing it among men of the Himalayas. Johnson claims he studied for 11 years under the great Swsml and is deep In the mysteries of that school. "MYSTERY OF THE EIGHT HORSES" IS BELIEVED A MURDER (Continued from Page One.) to take their command, since his rec- proof is so easily understood, that it la necessary only to quote from the Con gressional Record parts of the Dixon speech, with ,the part Senator Chamber lain took in the debate, to make the case clear. Senator Dixon laid the foundation for hi case in this manner: Mr. Dixon. The truth is the wool grower has been sacrificed for the bene fit' of the manufacturer. I will demon strate that that is the reason- the woo grower has not prospered and the one reason why sheep have not Increased iu numbers as they should have dorfe. Mr. Nelson. Mr. President, I do not want to Interrupt the senator but Mr. Dixon. I court interruptions. I want to demonstrate this matter, if I can. , Asks Season for Decrease, Mr. Nelson. I want to ask the sena tor this question: Does henot think that this decrease arose from the fact that a good deal of the range lands have been taken up by homesteaders? Mr. Dixon. That is the popular theory, and I confess that I labored under the same belief as the senator from Minnesota; but the returns of the census demonstrate that In the west throughout the old "Territorial" coun try, the Rocky mountain region, the public land region, sheep have increased In the last 10 year period. The decrease baa come In the eastern and central states. He then set forth how the adoption of the "skirting clause" constituted a Joker; that It was first Inserted in the tariff law of 1890: "Provided, that skirted wools as now Imported are hereby exempted." -Senators Explain, rraud. Senator Dixon explained. With Sena tor Chamberlain assisting in bringing out the farts: Senator Dixon. Theoretically the Im porting manufacturer, to get 100 pounds of scoured wool, would Import 300 pounds of wool In the grease, paying thereon a duty of 111 per hundred pounds, or $33. the equivalent of 33 cents per pound on the scoured product. But with the "skirting clause" In active operation, be does no such thing. From all fieeces Imported at the place from where they are shipped he first trims off , the heavy shrinking legs, belly and rump, portion of the fleece, and only Imports the light shrinking back and side portion of the fleece, so that Jn Importing 300 pounds of "skirted wool" from Australia or New Zealand or Argentina, which then shrinks only less than Bo per cent instead of the theoretical 6 2-3, the importing manu facturer actually gets from his 800 pounds In the grease, if it only shrinks SO per cent, 160 pounds of scoured wool, which has cost him Just 22 cents per pound In tariff duty on the scoured wool, Instead of 33 cents, as con templated by the tariff section before the "skirting clause" was deftly at tached thereto. Somestlo Wools Xfot Skirted. Mr. Dixon. All skirted wools. The domestic wools are not skirted, because there Is no Incentive to skirt them. The foreign wools are all skirted before Importation. I have the original sam ples in my office, SO of them, and If any senator out of curiosity should care to drop In and see them, I will be glad to exhibit the whple list. I only brought In these that are here on my desk. Taking these 80 different samples of imported Australian, New Zealand, and Argentine wools, picked Indiscriminately from imported wool stocks In Boston awaiting manufacture, -we find the aver age shrinkage to be 36 2-3 per cent. That is. Instead of shrinking 66 2-3 per cent, as contemplated In the tariff law, the average Imported Australian, New Zealand, and Argentine wools shrunk only 36 2-3 per cent by this actual test. In other words, the importer in Bos ton, in actual, experience In importing these skirted foreign wools, paid In tariff duties on 300 pounds the sum of $33. He reclved therefrom 190 pounds of scoured wool. Theoretical Tariff Hoi raid. Instead of paying the theoretical $33 tariff duty on 100 pounds of scoured wool, he actually paid $33 tariff duty on the resultant 190 pounds of scoured wool, or at the rate of 17.86 cents per pound, for his scoured wool. Instead of 33 cents. In other words, the 190 pounds of scoured wool, from actual results, rep resented, on the 8-to-l basis, 670 pounds of unsklrted wool In the grease, making the actual duty to the Importer at the rate of 6.8 cents per pound on wool in the grease, Instead of 11 cents, as provided in the law. These are the cold facts from the test of actual results. Mr. Chamberlain. That was the actual protection.. Mr. Dixon. Yes; that is the actual 1 protection to the American sheep grow er 8$ cents per pound, Instead of 11, as popularly supposed. '';, Btpsats Constituents' semaadav Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. President, Just a , moment. I am peculiarly Interested in this subject, because I come from a sheep growing state myself, and the sheep growers In Oregon generally I mean those who have not the sources of information at hand.' as has the distin guished senator from Wyoming (Mr. Warren) all write to me about the 11 cents protection, and insist that a reduc tion of that will seriously Injure the sheep growing industry of my state. Now, according to the admission made by the distinguished senator from Mon tana, as well as by the senator from Wyoming, the sheep men . In the west have not been getting that at all. As a matter of fact, they have been getting only a little over 6 cents Instead of 11. Mr. Warren. They have been getting 7 and a fraction at times. f)t course it has varied, but I think the senator from Oregon will ascertain, upon in qulry, that the real wool growers of his state, as well as others, understand the situation that under present laws it takes the 11-cent maximum to really produce 6 to Hi cents in the clear. Puts Fraud In Bee ord. Mr. Chamberlain. The rate which the se.nator from Montana fixes Is a lit tle over 6 cents; so that I wanted it to get into the Record that these peo ple. who have been believing all the time that under the Payne-Aldrich bill, as well as under the McKlnley bill and under the Din jr ley bill, they have been getting 11 cents protection, are really getting only a little over 6 cents. Mr. Warren. May I ask the senator If the sheep growers who are writing to him are asking to have the tariff reduced? Mr. Chamberlain. They have been buncoed Into the belief that schedule K ought not to be changed at all. Now; the senators here who are in that in dustry seem to believe it ought to be changed, and I am inclined to believe they are right Mr. Dixon. The tariff on raw wool was written on paper for the poor sheep raiser a thousand miles away from the scene of action in language that appeared to him a plain protective duty of 11 cents per pound, but with a string tied to It by the representative of the organized manufacturers that, when gently pulled by him in the actual business of Importing foreign wools, only gave the sheepman about 4 Or 6 cents per pound actual protection.

TWO TRAILS OVER THE MOUNTAINS There are two trails through the mountains of Vicissitude to Wellvllle for the traveler who h Bright or kidney disease. - One Is blaxed by Digitalis, Mtro Glycerin Basham's Mixture and other , agents of' earlier days. The other, a new trail, was discovered and blazed by a California pioneer. Through the first trail no one with the chronic form of kidney disease was ever known to arrive and the route Is strewn with millions of mounds that mark their resting- places. Patients are constantly arriving over the route mapped out by the late octo genarian, John J. Fulton. Not all get through, but most do especially those who leave the swamps, morasses and failures of the old trail and turn into the new before heart and strength are gone. Curiously enough the two trails ars . so close together tnai tney are con stantly in sight of each other even per mitting doubters to explore. But here a curious side of human nature is dis closed, for manv are so wedded to old beliefs that nearly nine-tenths still take the trail of despair nearly o,uto per ishing on the old trail last year. Druggists supplied oy uiarne. wooo-. ard Drue- Co.. and Blaumauer-J rank Drug Co. 1 . . ... J-iU - the man's apparent plan. It failed. Whether the horses were afraid and plunged or whether the man made poor Job with hia Winchester, cannot be stated. Anyway all three died on the bank. Two were a matched team of bays. This was on the property of one Odell. Going back to Cedar creek, where the first three were shot, ' "Billy Ault, a,bout June 10, was proceeding along the main 'road with his gun. He noticed the odor of a carcass. He turned off on the trail and found the horses. The discoveries on . the Ware and Odell land were made about the same time by other persons. Scattered on the Odell place were found a Winchester 44, cooking utensils, bedding and an overcoat, which had been abandoned. These articles are now in possession of Justice of tht Peace Shelley of Sandy. Justice Shelley and ' Constable Jonsrud, who live three miles from Sandy, looked over the Odell place, but found no evidence worth while. Thickets Should Be Searched. Beyond what Deputy Sheriff E. F. Donahue, Justice Shelley and Constable Jonsrud have done, no investigation' of the Mystery of the Eight Horses has been made. No complaint has been re ceived at Boring, Sandy or Oregon City of missing horses or a missing man, and because the case has never come up In a forceful way the Clackamas county court has not made an appropriation. It Is suggested In Sandy that Deputy Sheriff Donahue of Boring be author ised to employ a man or two to search of the woods at likely places on either side of the road from Cedar creek to Sandy. From $76 to $100 would make possible a fairly thorough hunt. The people of the Sandy district are not offering theories the case is too nusual. They believe, however, one of the two men who left Sandy with the outft has been murdered. Here is the only outline presented, and It Is, lnol dentally, the one to which Deputy Sher iff Donahue gives full credence: . Sketch of the One Theory. The owner with an employe had fin ished and drawn his money and was moving to another camp. Big wages are paid men with teams, and men with suoh equipment generally remain a con siderable perod on one Job. The infer ence Is permissible that the owner of these eight fine animals had drawn per haps several hundred dollars. A short distance from Sandy the employe mur dered him for this money, after having lured mm a little distance Into the woods ' on some pretext. Driving on alone, the murderer, realizing how many persons nan seen his employer with the horses, decided to change the aoDearanca of the .outfit by lessening Its number. He could then say his partner had taken some of the animals and gone on, and by the same token It was safer to kill the beasts at a secluded place than to turn them loose for someone to find Im mediately. So he disposed of three, and a day later tried to strengthen the story he might have to tell by the slaughter of two more. From that It was an easy step to com plete panic, with the hiding of the wag on, the abandonment of the outfit, the killing of the last three horses and the rutiie errort to conceal them. The key to the Mystery of the Eight Horses probably lies in the woods not far from sandy. It Is a human body. New Schedule Str.
