of Sergeant Oliver Impenetrable
Captain Newman Is Here on Trail
of the Soldier.
For tho purKise of making n thor
ough in Obligation of the mysterious
disappearance of Frederick A. Oliver,
a sorgoant of tho United States tinny,
Captain Newman of Vancouver lias
arrived in Medford to eo-oporato witli
local authorities. Captain Newman
arrived in Medford Wednesday morn
ing and spent the day endeavoring to
pick up tho trail of tho missing man,
and today is at Hutto Falls investi
gating. Sergeant Oliver disappeared in No
vember, llo was on a leave of ab
sence and spent some tune m the
timber near Hutto Falls hunting, ao
eompnnied for n time by a soldier
friend and Chief of Polioo llittson.
llittsou left camp and returned to
Medford, promising to look him up
again in this city. Later Olivor left
his friend in camp to buy supplies
and stated that ho might also visit
Medford. llo boarded tho train at
Hutto Fulls and since then bus
dropped from sight. When he cottlil
not bo found his fneud oaiiio to Med
ford and later went to Yaneoilver,
where ho repoilod tho matter.
Tho theory that Oliver deserted
from the army is not teutiblo. llo
had oor .'r'JOO at Vancouver duo him,
which ho left. Captain Novviniui stato
that Oliver had ro-enlisted in August
and could havo purchased his release
from tho army for $110, so it is un
reasonable to believe that ho would
havo dosorted, ohnneing a prison
term and leaving $170.
Tho missing man has boon in tho
service since tho Spanish-Atuoiioau
war and has a splendid record.

SAYS TREATIES
PART OF PLAN
TO INVOLVE O.S.
Senator ' Hitchcock Charges That
There Is a' Laraty FundJ Behind
Caprpa'ifjn to Secure Adoption of
Arbitration Treaties.
WOULD INVOLVE UNCLE SAM
IN ENGLAND'S FOREIGN POLICY
Hitchcock Quotes From Speech of
Sir Edward Grey, British
Foreign Minister.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Jnn. 4.
That the Taft arbitration treaties nro
a direct attempt t lead tho United
States into an entanglement with
England was the statement here to
day of Senator Hitchcock of Nebrus
kn. Speaking before the Semite,
Hitchcock declared that he firmly be
lieved that there is a fund behind
the campaign to secure the adoption
of the treaties.
( "To place the full power of inter
pretation of a treaty in tho hands
of a commission," Hitchcock de
ulnred, "is tho trap in the treaty. It
is a device to. permit an alliance,
which, in my opitinTn, nutePinevlfulIfy
lead to the entanglement llf the Unit
ed States in 'England's foreign pol
icy." Hitchcock (iio ted. from thg, speech
of Sir Edward Grey,-. the -UrUij'Jr for
eign minister, delivered jn tl4Wiso
of commons, in which 5jr -dwurhys
quoted as saying that he-believed tho"
arbitration treaty "probfiiX woufd '
lead England, and tho United"' Stnlo
to follow it with an agreement to join
with each other in any caso in which
one nation hnd a quarrel with a third
power by which arbitration was re
fused." Referring directly to Sir Edward's
speech, Senator Hitchcock said:
"It is hard to escape tho conclu
sion that tho Hritish foreign minister
referred to Germany and it is easy
to see why, in such conditions, that
England would desire to follow tho
pending treaty with an agreement by
which America would join in Eng
land's quarrel if Germany should re
fuse to arbitrate."
Continuing, "Hitchcock fluid that
even if the treaty did not cause an
alliance, that it would ijievitably pro
mote controversies, encourage claims
and eituso diplomatic arrangements
through which American interests
would likelv suffer.
