While representatives of three fire

ed faces, with two-thirds of tho city
fathers in a disgruntled frame of
mind, and while the audience at the
city council meeting last evening sent
up a round of cheers, City Recorder
Klgln announcel in stentorian tones
that the body had voted to return the
certified checks to the competing
bidders thereby indefinitely postpon
ing the purchase of another automo
bile flro engine.
It was only by the thickness of :i
gnat's eyebrow spilt that the city

cuy wero voted on and all were
turned down. On the Nott car the vote
was 7 to 7 and the mayor was called
upon to do tho rub-off. He voted
"no." The executive explained his
vote by saying that the Nott represen
tative had persistently refused to
give his engine a road test Bhould the
three cars be tried out here. Repre
sentative Sherrill of the Nott company
denied this, saying that he had agreed
upon any test the council might name,
but the mayor did not change bis vote.
Turner Starts It
The agony started when John D.
Turner, councilman from the fifth
ward, moved that the bid of the Nott
company of $7700 bo accepted. South

At this Juncture of tho proper

Alderman Rlgdon said that It had been

domnnded that Minion tell about It.
Mr. Mlnton explained that Fire Chief
Savage had asked him to go to Eugene'
with him and view the workings of the
Nott engine, purchased by that city
last summer. Mr. Mlnton said that
everyone of the engines has something
on the others In the way of advantages
of different kinds, but that from all
ho had gathered he folt favorably dls
posed toward the Nott engine. He ad
voeatcd a try-out of the three engines
under the rules of the underwriter's
test.
Alderman Hatch, one of the special
committee named last week to arrange
for the teats, and which failed to
bring tho agents together, declared
that It would bo Impossible to arrange
for tho test. Alderman Skalfe said
that the three men who had boon
named on tho special committee were
three as good men as could be found
In the council, and If they could not

for anybody else to try It. Mayor

PERU PROMISES
TO ENDCRUELTY
Minister to United States Gives
Assurance ot Reform.
FOLLOWS FULLER'S REPORT,
American Had Made Searching Inves
tigation and Disclosed Long Lilt of
Atrocities Worked Upon Natives In
Putumayo Rubber District Murder,
Flogging and Torture Were System.
Peru will undertake to put a stop to
the utrocltles perpetrated on the In
dians lu the Putumuyo rubber country
land to prevent repetitions ot the out
rages. This promise is coutnlned tn
a communication from Senor Pezet,
Peruvian minister to the United States,
to tile department of state. .
The' assurances of the Peruvian gov
ernment come In the wake of Investi
gations conducted by Stuart J. Fuller
In behalf or the United States and Sir
Roger Casement, British consul gen
eral at Rio de Janeiro, wbo journeyed
to the vory heart of the Putumayo Juu
gles aud then submitted reports to
their respective governments.
Mr. Fuller's report, together with a
message from President Tuft, was sent
to congress recently. Xbe state de
partment was furnished with a mass
of Information by the special envoy,
but only the essential facts were giv
en to congress. The report sent to
congress says:
Iteginnlug in the year 1004, the Arm
of A rim a Bros, which later became
the Peruvian Amazon company, Im
ported a number of Barbados men,
wbo had been recruited In the Island
of Barbados, with whom tbey entered
Into n contract to serve as laborers ln
the Putumayo for u, term of two years.
The number of men so Imported
amounted altogether to about two hun
dred. Upon arrival nt their destination they
wero armed with rllles and a large sup
ply of cartridges und were dispatched
through tho forests to different parts
of the region, with n view to enslaving
various tribes of docile, or nt nny rate
of easily subdued. Indians wbo dwelt
along the courses of the Caraparana
and upper and middle Ignraparana riv
ers, and occupied the couutry between
thoso rivers besides the neighboring
regions.
Murder, Flogging and Torture.
In the exercise of this lllepol com
pulsion, frequently accompanied by
gruss outrages upon the Indians, in
cluding murder, Hogging and torture,
the company, through Its agents, forc
ed the Barbados men actively lu par
ticipate. Threats and In some rases
violence were used as a means of com
pelling them to commit illegal seta
upon the Indians ln order to Induce
the latter to labor or bring In India rub
ber upuu their backs from the remote
districts.
The Barbados men themselves com
plained that they bad frequently suf
fered 111 treatment at the bands ot the
agents of the company and that for
long periods tbelr food consisted of
what they could get for themselves or
obtain by some means from the Indi
ans. After describing conditions In the
rubber regions the report to congress
sums up Mr. Fuller's findings as fol
lows: There Is evidence that the compuoy
hns mended Its wnys to some extent,
st least for tho present. All of the iu
dlans present looked well fed and vig
orous, although a considerable Dumber
ln various posts bore the scars ot old
floggings, They are a small people,
not overstrung physically, and. what
ever they may have beeo Id past gen
erations, tbey are not now, and were
not ut the time the atrocities took
place, wild, untamable cannibals, but,
m the contrary, mild, docile. Inoffen
sive and childlike, Just as described bj
Sir Roger Casement
As the region Is so remote from the
capital and from all governmental au
thority, the whole zone Is apparently
left to the company to manage as It

System of Peonage.
The labor of the Indian is secured
by a system of peonage based on ad
vances of merchandise. Pnrment la
made for this labor, but, nevertheless.
It Is nothing moro or leas than forced
labor The temptation to abuse Is Im
minent and strong, especially since the
white stair Is offered bonus for vigi
lance. Considering the Inaccessibility of the
region, the hesvy export tsi and the
Inferior quality of the rubber, It Is dif
ficult to see how the enterprise can be
made to pay without hnrsb treatment
i)f the I milium The amount of rubber
produced by the company continue to
Increase In spite of the fact that the
native population of the district has
greatly decreased. It Is questions hie
whether, In the absence of govern
mental machinery in the f.one. the
withdrawal of the company would bet-
ter the lot of the Indians, for the ter
ritory would then he thrown open to
