 The result was confusion and it was impossible to understand more than a few words of each reply. Senator War ren, chairman of the committee, ruled that the witness had a right to use the interpreter if he desired. but Sem ator Foraker insisted in view of the testimony given in testing the knowl- edfe the witness had of English.

RAGAN IS
 CAPTURED Postmaster Caught in
 Colorado. SHADOWED BY DETECTIVES Official at Anniston Was Three Thousand Shy. Skipped Out With Woman March 20 And Was Thought That He Had Es-
 caped to Central
 America.
sHADoV'ED BY DETECTIVES

Anniston, May 20-- (Special) --Former Postmaster J. Mat Ragan was captured at Pueblo Colorado. yesterday.
 Ragan is charged with embedding funds from the Anniston postoffice to the amount of s3,000' and has been a fugutive from justice since March 29, on which night he is alleged to have left Anniston and since that time he has not been seen and his whereabouts unknown save to a possible friend or two and to the secret service agents of the government.
 It Is learned that secret service men have been close on Ragan's tracks for the past two weeks.
 He was, it is said, shadowed to Dem ver Colorado, and since reaching that point couple of weeks ago he has been under constant surveillance until his arrest in Pueblo. He was operating a cheap theatre under an alias.
 Ragan is alleged to have first gone East, and it was. generally supposed that he would seek safety for while in flight to Honduras or some other Central or South American country. In- stead he has been in this country all the while and for at least six weeks he mas kept the officers guessing as to his whereabouts. The flight of Postmaster Ragan followed within few days the flight of the former Reg ister Clerk, Frank Roberts. who was captured some days ago in Los An geles, Cal.
 In the minds of the government of- ficers there was immediately a remark able connection between the alleged crimes and disappearance of the two men and this connection led many to think that the capture of one would lead to the capture of the other.
 There Is nothing to indicate that this has been the case, however, although it is somewhat of a coincidence that Rob- erts arrest should have been followed in such a short time by the arrest of Ragan. The speedy return Of Ragan from Colorado will depend on whether or not he will return without protest.
