nothing worse than scratches. Strang
said the car would be back in the race
again within ninety minutes, but at 2
a. m. it was still off the track.
lust an hour after the first accident

third accident. Buick No 2, driven by
George Dewitt, skidded at the turn in
the back stretch, hurled against the
fence and turned turtle. Dewitt was
not hurt, but his mechanic, Jack

WIFE AND CHILDREN OF
SETTLER LEFT FOR DEAD
Troopers Ordered to Bring in the
Warning Indians

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, May 13.-
Governor Mills dispatched two COM
panies of state troops, with field equip
ment, and members of the territorial
mounted police for the scene of the
Indian uprising at Taos on special
train over the Denver & Rio Grande
at midnight.
The troops have orders from the
adjutant general to protect settlers and
bring in warning Indians. The Indians
gave settlers notice that unless they
left the valley by daylight they would
be killed.
The telegram received by the gov
ernor this afternoon stated fifty picked
Taos braves, under the leadership of
a young chief, had raided the valley,
driving off horses and cattle and set
ting fire to many buildings.
Mrs. L. B. Myers, wife of a settler
and her babies were assaulted and LETT
for dead. Settlers who attempted to
resist the Indians were driven away.
The troops must march thirty miles
from Serviletta, the nearest station to
reach the village of Taos. The settlers
are arming, and only the prompt ar
rival of the troops can avert bloodshed
1t is ared by the settlers the San
Juan and other Indians of that section
will join the Taos braves and that a
general warfare may result.
1t is said the older men of the village
are opposed to the uprising, but the
young braves took matters into their
own hands and went on the war path.

MARY HARTMAN
TO WE'D IN JUNE
Mothers Preparations Lead Vii
Iage Folk to Conclusion Early
NuptiaIs Is the Plan
Especial to The Herald,)

TURNER, N. Y, May 13-It was an
nounced here today that Mrs. E. H.
Hartman, together with her daughter,
Miss Carol Hartman, would sail IN
July for Honolulu, and it is believed
the marriage of Miss Mary Hartman,
for which no date has been announced
publicity, will take place before her
mother departs from New York.
1t is reported here in the village that
the event, to which all the townspeople
are eagerly looking forward, is set for
an early day in June, as orders have
been issued by Mrs. Hartman to have
the estate at Turner and the Episcopal
church near by renovated and prepared
for guests, and that this work must all
be completed by June l.
Charles Cary Rumsey, the bridegroom
to be, is known to be preparing for
some big event and for long absence
from the city of New York, where he
has his studio. The man who will
claim the favorite daughter of the late
railway magnate as his wife is the son
of Laurence D. Rumsey of Buffalo.
The engagement is the result of a ro-
nance between the capable daughter
of the great financier and a young
sculptor of promise. Mr.. Rumsey is the
son of a successful business man, but
has given all his attention to art He
has for some years spent most of his
time in New York working at sculp-
ture and has been seen little even by
his friends at the Harvard club.
Nearly all his time was spent in a
little studio at the top of an old-fash-
ioned building at 55 East Fifty-nint
street, between Park and Madison ave-
nues. He first met Miss Hartman four
years ago at the MeadoWbrook club
races. Later he undertook some work
at Mr. Harriman'S new house at Arden.
Miss Hartman was her fathers con-
fidant in many of his business affairs,
and was trained especially to under
stand the management of the estate at
Arden. Mr.. Harriman'S confidence in
her judgment was so great that he
made her one of the executors of his
great estate. She has been in active
charge of the Arden farms dairy and
the AZ, 900 acres of the Hartman Orange
county farms.
Mr.. Rumsey is 80 years old and was
graduated from Harvard in 1902. He
spent several years in the study of art
in Boston and Paris, and afterward
settled down in New York. He is
known in art circles, although he has
not exhibited very much of his work.
He had bronze statue of an Indian at
the Pan n-American exhibition at Buffa-
10, and later held an exhibition of his
bronze work there. He is a good polo
player and has hunted with the Genesee
valley pack. In his love for horses he
follows his uncle, Seward Cary, who for
number of. years drove the Red
Jacket coach between Buffalo and Nj
agara Falls. Society has been conf
dent that Miss Hartman would marry
Robert w. Goelet. Young Goelet was
the choice of Mr.. Hartman, according
to reports, as the king of the railroad
world always took him on his tours
throughout the country.

OIL MEN LODGE PROTEST
AGAINST THE PICKETT BILL
Tell House Committee 1t Would
Mean Loss of Millions

WASHINGTON, May 13.-A delega-
tion of California oil producers opposed
to the administration conservation
measure, known as the Pickett with
drawal bill. appeared today before the
house committee on public lands.
The oil men assert that if the bill
as it passed the house becomes a law
it will mean millions in losses to the
oil men who began drilling for oil on
government land. The land was with
drawn from entry before oil had been
struck.
Members of the California delegation
told of how various amounts from
$4,000 to 100000 had been spent in
drilling on land later withdrawn and to
which they would have no right.
One witness told how his company
had spent $646,000 in one field in Cal
iforina and struck oil in but one we'll.
He said his company would have to
discontinue operations if the with
drawal bill forced it to cease drilling.
1t was stated that the Standard Oil
company was in a similar position
that the operators were regarding it's
rights on government land. The oil
men desired that the law be changed
so the Withdrawals would apply only
to vacant and unoccupied land.

EXCHANGES RAGS FOR
SIMON'S FINE SUIT

S. Simon could hardly believe his
eyes when he entered his tailor shop
at 122 East Seventh street yesterday
morning. Where one of Simon's finest
serge suits had hung the night before
there was in its place one of the rag
gedest, most dilapidated suits of cast
off clothing that Simon had ever be-
held. Simon, considerably peeved
asked the police detectives about it and
they told him it was Friday, the thir-
teenth. Simon said he didn't care what
day it was, he wanted his serge suit
back. The detectives promised to take
the case under advisement. Simon told
the police that the man who exchanged
suits had entered shoe store adjoin-
ing Simon's place and had broken down
door between the two store rooms.

CiANTA F'TI, N. M, May 13.-Governor
Mills this noon received request
~ from Judge John R. McFie at
Taos for q company of militia TO
suppress an outbreak of the Taos
Pueblo Indians, who yesterday raid
ed several homesteads north OF
Taos, cut fences drove off cattle and
attacked the wife and children of a
homesteader named l.. S. Meyers. Feel
ing at Taos against the Indians Is IN
tense and serious trouble is feared.
At o'clock this afternoon Governor
Mills issued an order for fifty men OF
companies f and e to proceed to Taos.
They left on a special Denver d Rlo
Grande train at midnight and expect
to arrive at Taos tomorrow forenoon.
Gen. A. Brooke has ordered Com
pany II of the New Mexico national
guard at Santa Fe to hold itseh In
eradiness to proceed to Taos at a. mo-
ment's notice on forced march. Inc
company was until recently cavalry
troop and is the crack military organ
ization of the territory.
Telephone and telegraph wires have
been cut by the renegades.
The uprising of the Pueblos, who for
years have been a peaceful and law
abiding people, is believed to have been
caused by the punishment of Pueblos
by the territorial authorities. For years

councillors, who tried and punished
malefactors of the tribe without re-
course or appeal to the territorial au-
thorities.
YOUNG BUCKS VIOLENT
Some months ago an Indian of the
Isleta Pueblo, who had been impris-
oned by the territorial officers. ap-
pealed to the tribal courts and the
councillors of the village were put IN
jail. Since then the Indians have been
unruly and it is believed the outbreak
is the result of fear by the Indians
they would lose their much-prized in
dependence and the inability OF the
elders to control the young bucks, VINO
believed the authority of the village
councillors was on the wane.
For several weeks ranchers near
Taos have found their fences cut and
their stock missing, but the discomfort
of the Indians eliminated yesterday IN
the attack on the Meyers household.
The taking of the census is also be-
lieyed to have caused much unrest
among the Indians. When the enu1ner-
ators reached SaEto Domingo and Fan
Dia Pueblos, they were refused all in
formation concerning members of the
tribe and were threatened with Vio-
lence.
1t was only after they had threat
ened to call troops and former Gov
ernor Curry had gone personally to
the chiefs and reassured them about
the purpose of the census that the In
dans were persuaded to answer the
questions.
Several eastern artists are believed
to be in the Taos country making
sketches of Indian life Taos is the
oldest and most picturesque of the
Pueblos.
