ally the only damage is the disappearance of a
chicken from neighborng farm.
In other the horns of oxen are supposed TO
be possessed of splendid properties, either when
bound on the witchs forehead or rubbed on the
patient
however, Is that known the white blood" cure
This nothing less than the eating OF
human heart and drinking of human blood taken
from the newly killed body OF a white person.
Within the last month there have been In Cuba
no less than three of this terrible ceremony
having been performed by the witches In different
parts. The victim is almost always "a white child,
decoyed from It's parents cottage by the offer OF
sweets or OF a ride. The victim is generally
taken from district removed some distance from
the patients abode, 10 render discovery more
difficult. Once arrived at the temple of the
''brujOs." solemn ceremony is held. during which
the child is laid the altar gagged and bound
the body and Stays the child. The blood runs into
n cup and the heart is served on plate To the
patient. Whether the remains OF the poor child
are burned eaten is not known, but in recent
the evidence was very strong that at least
part OF the body had been consumed.
The curious part OF the whole thing Is that pa
tients declare that they have recovered after the
ceremony which a supreme proof of the
efficacy OF faith as cure-all.
The discovery OF these crimes Is one OF immense
difficulty, for the witch doctors constantly change
their residence: 10 is almost impossible To get any
negro 10 give evidence against the witch and when
the pursuit becomes too hot Il Is customary
sacrifice the temple and its ceremonial articles in
all-cOnsuming fire.
Politically, the evil Is that very many of the
black population are voters. and so long the
enormous colored race has powerful voice In the
legislation long will IL be impossible for Cuba
alone 10 efface these crimes from her calendar.

ACCUSE STANDARD
OIL METHODS
Independents in Three States Say They

SOUR LACE. Tex, Aug. 1.-THE
Independent oil producers of Texas
and Louisiana claim that the Standard
Oil company and its allied interests
have been slowly pressing them to the
wall until many of them are now do
ing an Improbable business. particu-
larly in the sale of fuel oil. The story
of this alleged oppression as told by
Independent producers is interesting
and contains much circumstantial de-
tail.
1t is charged by them that the
Standard Oil company has so con-
Quoted its Vaccinations as to be now
practically in control of the fuel oil
territory of Texas, Oklahoma and Lou
isiana. 1t is strengthening its posi-
ton in this regard all the time.
In order to drive the Independent
fuel oil concerns from Fort Worth

Standard OH company's interests or
ganized the Lone Star Gas company
and obtained franchises to supply
those two cities with natural gas for
fuel purposes from the Clay county

WOULD BURN STRUCTURES
some Electrician Is Now at Work i'm
Effort To Start "a Connagration
on Fair Grounds.

SEATTLE. oct. 12.-Three distinct
attempts to set fire to buildings on the
A.-Y.-P. exposition grounds, occurring
on three consecutive days have led to
one arrest by exposition guards and to
the stationing of a special force of
plain clothes men in every corner of
the grounds, in the hope of detecting
the incendiaries.
With diabolical cunning and infinite
patience, the firebug who is apparent
ly seeking to destroy the exposition,
has succeeded three times in short-cir-
cutting the heavy 2300volt wires
which carry electric currents through
the grounds, and has burned the wires
in two and started small fires.
Makes Bold Attempts.
One instance occurred in the base
ment of the Oriental building, another
in the west end of the government
building, and a third in the King
county building. In each case the in
cendary climbed to out-of-the-way
points among the rafters, or in the
Easements of the buildings, and
dropped lead plate across two paral-
lei wires, closing a circuit and causing
the burning ends to drop, igniting the
first thing they touched. Fortunately
each blaze was quickly detected and
extinguished by the guards. without
even calling out the fire department.
On Monday Captain Smith of the
exposition guards saws a man tamper-
ing with the wires on a fence on the
north side of the grounds, and hasten
ing to the spot, arrested in the road
near by, man giving the name of A.
Johnson, who claimed to be an cleo
trician, recently arrived from the
east. He denied having been on the
fence, and was finally set free.
Who Is to Blame?
Meanwhile the exposition officials
do not know where to place the blame
for the efforts to fire the exposition
They are inclined to suspect several
discharged employees of the Seattle
Electric company, for the work seems
to be that of an electrician. Others be-
lieve that some half-demented an
archist is seeking to destroy the fair.

MABTON BRIDGE
IS BURNED OUT
COUNTY WILL REPLACE IT
Loss Is Approximately $4,000 to the
County but Is Severe Blow to
Lower Portion of Yakima.

Fire destroyed the county bridge
across the Yakima river near Mabton
on Sunday afternoon. The loss is APP
proximately $1,000. A new bridge
will be built at once by the county
bids from contractors prepared to do
the work having been called for.
which will be opened August "a. In
the meantime ferry will be ope-
rated and it is expected that the ferry
apparatus will be ready today for the
purpose. Merchants and business men
of Mabton propose to get together
this morning and complete the work
on the temporary crossing.
1t is thought that the bridge was
set on fire by cigar stub. This is
not known, however,a S the fire was
burning briskly when discovered. The
man who first saw the blaze went to
Mabton for help but when he re-
turned with aid the structure was in
flames. The bucket maintained by
the county on the bridge had been
stolen and there was little chance to
work.
Bridge Is Total Loss.
The Mabton bridge consisted of
three 70-foot wooden spans and a
steel span of 210 feet. This last was
put in two or three years ago by c. e.
Lum of this city at a cost of about
$1,000. 1t is not thought that any of
the steel portion of the bridge is fit
'tob be again used.
The loss of the bridge is a severe
blow to the people of Mabton. The
crossing was the only one which eX-
listed on the river between Granger
and Prosser and as this is a time of
year when there is a great deal of
teamng of products Mabton people
stand to lose considerably more than
the cost of the structure.

Bad Outlook for an Independent.
The Tulsa-Port Arthur oil pipe line
of the Texas company runs through
Dallas, where that concern has erected
a large oil refinery. The company has
been doing a big business in tae sale Of
fuel oil in Dallas and Forth Worth.
but II stands to lose most of it when
the Lone star Gas company gets its
pipe line in operation
The Independent producers claim to
have ample proof that the Guffey Pc
troleum company, the Guffey Refining
company and the Higgins company are
all subsidiary concerns of the stand
ard Oil. The oil pipe lines of these
concerns in Texas give them control
of the fuel oil situation in this state.
The Standard oil Companys new oil
pipe line to Baton Rouge. La, will
give it control of the situation in that
state. In oklahoma the Standard Oil
interests are said to have 10000. 900
barrels of oil in storage. Some of this

to a considerable degree. In order to
make profit on this oil it must soon
be utilized, it is claimed
Squeezing Ont a Competitor.
The Independent producers say that
the Standard COIL is Systematically
cutting prices of crude oil in order to
give it control of the proved field in
Oklahoma. When an Independent
producer is squeezed so hard that he is
willing to quit business the Prairie Oil
company or some other Standard oil
concern takes the lease off his hands at
its own price. Perhaps later the same
land may be released to an independ-
ent, but with restrictions as to the
number of wells that shall be bored
Various methods are used, according
to the statements of Independent pro-
ducers, by the Standard Oil company
to depress prices and force them out
of business.
The Standard interests are able on
account of their enormous oil pro-
duCtion, to make contracts for oil
running up into millions of barrels
one contract for 10000 900 barrels for
future delivery was recently made by
it. Inasmuch as it dictates prices, il
is sure of profit on every transaction
it makes. With the smaller independ-
ent producers the situation is differ
ent. 1t might not be possible for one
of them to carry out a contract for
large future deliveries at stipulated
price.
