San Francisco, May 22.-Francis J.

Puter. who made a sensational escape from Secret Ser vice Agent William J. Burns in Bos- ton some months ago and was cap tured in Alameda Sunday, would be taken to Portland. Puter said yes terday that he came west to see Heney. He requested Mrs B. D. Wat son to arrange an interview and when she failed, he asked his wife and Mrs Horace Mckinley to do 1t. He added that all of them made mess of it. Puter denied that Mrs Mckinley (Marie Ware) had been travelling with him. The latter was formerly an officer of the Oregon courts and has six indictments hanging over her for alleged complicity in the land frauds. Mrs Mckinley indignantly denied the rumor that she had de- Hcoyed Puter to his arrest, saying: T have been living for the last few months In San Francisco and could not possibly have been travelling with Puter about the country. l became entangled in this case because l was a witness at the trial several years ago, but I have had nothing to do with the efforts of the government to capture the fugitive"

Say Increased Rates are Unnecessary

 New London, May 22-Important business was transacted at the spring meeting of the Connecticut Fire Chiefs club held at the Mohegan ho- tel in this city yesterday. The session began at 10 o'clock and continued until o'clock when the members boarded a special car for Ocean Beach to enjoy a shore dinner.
 After the usual routine business had been transacted President A. C. Henirick of New Haven asked that the meeting put itself on record as sbeing unalterably opposed to the need less increase of fire insurance rates in Connecticut as a result of the de- struction of San Francisco. President Hendrick said that he did not want to do all the talking In favor of pass ing such a resolution and his wishes were respected. for his remarks were the signal for long discussion in the midst of which the following resolu- ton was framed and unanimously adopted =
 That the Connecticut Fire Chiefs club considers that 1t is unnecessary and very unpopular for the insurance companies to make increase of rates which are already too high. in the state of Connecticut. We think that Connecticut is better provided with fire protection than ever before and equal to any in the Onion to-day.
