Well Known and Highly Re-

Four Score Mark.
LIFE HAS BEEN USEFUL.
I'VE, TELLS OF SOME OF HIS
REcOLLECTIONS OF EARLY
DAYS.

Today is the eightieth anniversary OF
the birth of Joseph c. Ratliff, one oil
Richmond's oldest and most highly re-
spected citizens. He has been identi
fled with the interest of this city prac.
tically all of his life and has been
prominent in many ways and especially
so in agricultural, horticultural and
historical matters and in the Friends
society. He is a member of the 1927
society and is deeply Interested in its
affairs and in those of numerous 9th
er organizations to which he belongs
He is still active and well preserved
Many congratulations were extended
him today by wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Ratliff contributes the following
article in reference to his anniversary.
Today is the anniversary of the -four
score years Of my age. Eighty years
ago on the sixth day of July. 1927.
was born in log cabin one mile north
west of Richmond, on a farm which
now adjoins the city limits. The town
was then only nine years old and dense
forests were to be seen in every direc-
ton. except where deadnings and
small clearings had been made ready
for the plow. Then. bear, deer, wolves
and other wild animals were plenty.
Then the wild Indians who had not
migrated to the West, were on peacable
terms with their white neighbors, who
were few and far between. Now, how
changed. The forests have melted
away and the most surprising improve
ments have taken their places. Then
merchant in the little village dealt in
dry goods. groceries. hardware and the
skins of fur-bearing animals. 1t is
true my recollection does not extend
that far back, but / do remember
when | took butter. eggs, feathers and
maple molasses to the stores to be ex-
changed for muslin, calico. queensware
and groceries. ! also remember when
all the wheat. rye and oats were cut
with the sickle and the grain was
tramped out with horses or beat out
with the flail. | carry the evidences
of cutting wheat with a sickle by a
scar on my finger and the loss of a toe
by horse while tramping out wheat
on the barn floor.
The severe physical labor of the
younger days of my manhood were
relieved by frequent gatherings of the
young men and young women of the
surrounding neighborhood at a wood
chopping and quilting, apple cutting
or candy pulling. l enjoy great pleas
ure in thinking over the many Incl
dents of my early life, they being more
indelibly stamped upon my memory
than things of more recent date. 1t
also gives me great pleasure to greet
my old friends and engage in conversa-
tion with them on things of ye olden
time, even if it is only for a few min
utes.
Now with others who who are ap-
preaching the surset of life, my desire
is that we may adopt the language.

for ALL and in the end wrap the gar
ments of our couch about us and lie
down to pleasant dreams.

EFFORT TO SAVE ROCK
EFELlER OF NO AVAIL.
Motions in His Behalf Were
OverruIed by Court---Rich
Man Compelled to Wait on
Disposition of Minor Cases.

Chicago, July 6.-John ID. Rockefel-
Ter. Millionaire. was made the central
figure in desperate riot in the federal
building today, in which the police
sclubbed the crowd fighting to see him.
The trust magnate was half stifled in
the terrific struggle and women tainted
in the heat of the strife. The oil king
was crowded into Judge Landis' court
without injury. He was ushered to a
seat and later called to the stand for
the first time in his life in a court of
record. The only previous time was
twenty years ago before legislative
committee.
Rockefeller was forced to wait while
the court disposed of petty criminals.
An effort was made to save Rockefeller
from the stand when Attorney John
s. Miller made a plea and was prompt
1y overruled. He asked that witness
es be excused because the term of
court that issued the subpoenas had
expired. but was overruled. Frederick
A. Wann, formerly general freight
agent of the Chicago and Alton, was
1he first witness.
Got No information.
Rockefeller took the stand at 10:40
O'Clock He was nervous when the
.ordeal began and declared he knew
'little or nothing" of the operations of
the Standard Oil company. His posi-
.tion as president is purely honor
lary," and he did not know it's earn
'ings, subsidiary companies, or meth
ods of business. The examination was
brief and Rockefeller left the stand in
the disfavor of the court. He may be
summoned again and more testimony
demanded under penalty of contempt.
On the stand the oil king said out
standing capital stock is hundred
.millions. He said the company had
refinery and refined oil but didn't
know how many refineries are in Indi-
ana, as he has had no active connection
with the company for ten years. He
didn't know as to ofvidends or earn
ings.
At this point he was assisted from
his chair. c. NJ. Pratt, secretary Of
the Standard, testified that dividends
were forty per cent.
Judge Landis shocked everyone by
adjourning court until 10 o'clock Mon
day.

SENSATION ARE TO
Be LOOKED FOR
Senator BOrdh Who Appears on
Side of Prosecution. May Be
Charged With Fraud.

Boise, May 13.-The task of select
ing a jury was resumed today in the
case of W. ID. Haywood, and may be
completed within the next four or FIVE
days, according to the judgment Of
the opposing counsel.
Eleven men were in the box when
court opened at O'Clock this after
noon. None of these had been flu
ally accepted by both sides, however,
although three have so far qualified
themselves to serve and only the per-
emptory challenges, of which each
side has ten, can remove them.
Seventy-five of the new veniremen
summoned are farmers and ranch
men from the country surrounding
Boise, and the remaining twenty five
are business men.
1t was said at the beginning of to-
days proceedings that not more than
two of the eleven men already in the
jury box will become members of the
trial panel
A significant feature developed in
the first examination of talesmen was
the fact that the attorneys for the
defense were unable to unearth here
any feeling among country folk
against any partiCular union or
against trade unionism.

PREDICT SENSATIONS
IN HAYWOOD TRIAL

Boise Idaho, May 49, Senator w.
f.. Borah has got more to think about
than anybody. He has a large law
practive, is special counsel for the
state in the Haywood case, counsel for
the defendants in some land fraud
cases set for trial in the northern part
of the state this month, and, it has
been reported, grand jury has voted
an indictment against him on account
of some alleged government land ir-
regularities.
No official announcement of such
an indictment has been made, but
Borah, the United States district attor-
ney and the federal judge nave re-
Gently visited the president for the
discussion of that subject.
Charges were made at the White
House that the district attorney did
not like Borah and had promoted in
dictment proceedings against him as
favor to the Western Federation of
Miners, of which w. d. Haywood is
secretary. That charge has not taken
root hereabouts and probably not at
Washington.
Withall he's not a prey to worry. A
call at his office disclosed him in a
room lined from door to ceiling with
law books, shaping up authorities for
the Haywood case. When | asked him
as to the status of the trial he said
1T is not possible to forecast with
any certainty the length or the trial,
but in the absence of the unexpected
| should consider it a fair guess that
the end will be reached in the first
week of July.
You are going to hear a wonder
full story when the jury is finally Sc
cured" continued the senator. 81
looked 1t over again last night, and it
Is beyond anything / ever read. The
matters involved are suggestive of the
work of the Molly Maguires, but their
methods. like other things in the
world, have been subject to evolution,
and here we have their latest develop
ment. / have never said that the men
under arrest committed these offenses;
that is a matter for the jury to deter
mine. All that l say is that somebody
did commit them, and that the dis
closure will startle the entire coun-
try"
With regard to the charges against
him Borah has said that he would
be ready to meet any indictment
against him thirty minutes after it was
reported. He will probably try to Sc
cure a postponenent of the land fraud
cases in northern Idaho. If that is
not done his clients will have to get
other counsel. With him the big is
sue is the Haywood case.

New York, May 13.-In the course
OF a lengthy interview in the City of

ing the conditions prevailing in the
Central American republics.
He said that Mexico has through
out its trouble with Guatamala, which
came very near forcing a war main

power, and that attitude is still main
tained. He said that if a war should
become Necessary, Mexico will make
it a brief one.
Regarding conditions Diaz said .
Il believe the best solution of the
Central American problem would be
an amalgamation of these countries
into one strong government. Mexi-
co Is willing to cooperate with the
United States in forming a protector
ate over them and in any other meas
ure that will be beneficial to such a
government.
Il want it distinctly understood,
however, that Mexico wants no addi-
tional territory. 1t is big enough

WOULD-bE WIFE
SLAYER POOR
SHOT
John Martinez Fired at WO.
man--POWder Burned Her
Arm and She SWOOned.
WAS FULL OF BOOSE
BUT MADE ESCAPE

AS she stopped over a tub washing
their clothing. shortly before noon to-
day, Mrs. Anna Martinez narrowly es-
capped death at the hands of her hus-
band, Juan Martinez. a machinist,
who fired a shot at her from a revol-
yer. The powder from the pistol
burned her arm and the bullet passed
within an inch of her body. She fell
to the floor In a swoon.
Thinking she was dead, Martinez,
still clutching the pistol, sprang
through the door of his home in
Bareias and fed.
Neighbors who saw him go were
afraid to interfere. Martinez, who
ton, was crazed with drink and acted
like q mad man.
Mrs Martinez, who regained con-
sciousness, said she did not know of
any motive for the attempt upon her
life.
The first report of the shooting was
brought by two boys who notified the
police. They qnickly informed
Under Sheriff Fred Heyn. Heyn ar
rived at the Martinez home at 1920
p. m, where he found Mrs. Martinez
and Deputy Constable Francisco de
Lopez. Mrs. Martinez's story of the
trouble is as follows:
Juan came home about IL o'clock,
dead drunk. L was washing oar
clothes. He started to quarrel 1
tried to keep him quiet He cursed
me and finally drew the revolver and
pointed it at my forehad Luckily
the gun did not go off. l then em
braced him, and as l did so the gun
went off close to my left hand My
arm was powder burned"
Mrs. Martinez Stoutly maintained
that she had had no trouble with her
husband. The neighbors said that
they had apparently lived happily to-
gether, and why Martinez should
want to shoot his wife was beyond
their reasoning.
Under Sheriff Heyn said that Mar
tinez bore a good reputation, and up
to several months ago he had worked
at the Santa Fe machine shops as
machinist.
While working there he broke an
arm and since then has been unem-
ployed
Il think he will surrender when he
gets sobered up said Under Sheriff
Heyn. He has a good reputation, is
an industrious man and seldom gets
drunk. Why Martinez should want
to shoot his wife l can't understand.
They must have had some trouble, of
which she declines to talk"
According to a story told Justice of
the Peace Chaves, whose office is in
Barelas proper, the Martinezes sep
arated about six months ago and af-
terward reunited. Mrs. Martinez de-
MED that there had been any trouble
between them.
At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon two
deputy sheriffs and two cOnstables
were searching the vicinity of the
for Martinez. The officers
looking for the man are Deputy Sher
ifs G. Coulter and Montoya. Con-
stable Lopez is assisting them, with
an extra constable,
