Portland, March 15.—Bearing the marks of one of the most
lel and heartless murders ever perpetrated in this city, the
>dy of little Barbara Holtzman, a five year-old girl, was found
0i a blood atainod bed in a rooming house at 107 Russell street
Shortly before noun today by Mrs. Bertie Nehon, proprietress
Ot the house. The mother of the little girl was the daughter of
Voelling Huntsman, a mechanic, who lives within a few blocks
Of the rooming house. The little girl was sent to the butcher
shop yesterday afternoon to ni ike some purchases and never
returned.
Mrs. Nelson states that an unidentified man rented
0 room from
her yesterday, and, although he seemed
|o be zomowhat mysterious in his actions, Mrs. Nelson did not
feuspnet anything was wrong until today, when she went to the
loom to see what had become of the lodger. She found the door
locked and the key removed, The fact aroused her suspicion
and the door was burst pen. There, huddled on the bed, al-
Biost entirely covered by the bed clothes, was the body of the
little girl.
Seattle. March 15
Secretary of
Interior Walter L. Fisher is concen
trating his forces in Seattle for the
work of cancelling the fraudulent
Alaska coal land claims, so that the
land may be opened for mining un
der lease or royalty, aB congress may
direct.
Most of the richest coal
areas have been filed on but a ma
jority of the filings have been as
sailed as. fraudulent. The value of
the known coal deposits of Alaska
has frequently been estimated at one
billion dollars.
Indictments In connection with the
alleged fraudulent coal land tran
sactions have been returned against
a number of citizens who mad* fil
ings as the Cunningham claimants,
and whose claims are now before
the interior department on applica
tion for patent.
It is understood that Fisher is to
devote great energy to untangling
the Alaska coal land situations and
that President Taft will co-operate
heartily with hint. The firsh skirm
ishes will occur in Seattle, March 20.
when Judge Hanford will hear argu
ment on the demurrer filed by the
attorney for Christopher and George

El Paso, March 15.—‘ All the United States demands of
Mexico is order, justice and independence,” declared Theodore
Roosevelt today at a breakfast with the Toltre club. The col
onel's remarks were the on!y utterances he has made on the
Mexican situation and came as a complete surprise to the mem
bers of his party.
The colonel led up to his observations on the Mexican trou
ble by saying that the prosperity of his neighbors was a condi
tion of the prosperity of any man. He declared honest dealing
between man and man was the only certain foundation of pros
perity. The same thing is true, he said, of the relation of com
munities to one another.
El Paso, March 15.—"Smuggling
arms and ammunition aerdss the
Mexiran frontier from El Paso must
cease."
"This, in substance, is the order
received by the federal officials here
today, and it is supposed to have
emanated from Washington on rep
resentation of the Mexican govern
ment that El Paso has been the chief
point from which help has been sent
to the insurrection and the place in
which the revolution has been plan
ned and festered.
The assertion of Minister of Fi
nance Limantour in New York last
night that hereafter Americans who
were caught fighting with insurrec
tos would not be shown special mercy
caused consternation here. Fifteen
Americans captured at Casas Grandes
are still in jail at that place, accord
