Statement Substantiated

Mrs. Starbuck's statement that she
had no intention of turning her place
over the Japanese for "Shinto temple"
or colony was substantiated today by
H. c Beebe, real estate man of Elm
Grove. But the statement of Beebe
shows the hard feelings entertained by
Mrs. Starbuck toward her tenants, the
Kendalls, and the deception she was
willing to have practiced in her efforts
to get them off the mountain ranch
on which they stayed until they were
murdered.
that ] met Mrs. sStarbuck," said Beebe
this afternoon. Il met her in the
store at CaZadero and, after a short
talk on business, she asked me to call
on her the next time that I was in
Oakland. When next went to Oak
land ! did call nher at home, 116
Lake street. My wife was with me
at that time.
Mrs. Starbuck first suggested to me
thet l go TO the Kendall house and
present myself to the Kendalls as an
entire stranger to Mrs. Starbuck and
see what terms I could get to buy the
place or their lease. I would not con-
slider that proposition. Then she wanted
me to take the place on the same
terms the Kendalls had, that is, half
Of the produce and half the increase of
stock. / did not care to consider that
proposition either, so there was no
agreement made between u.s.
Made No Threats
AT that time she said that she was
going to get rid of the Kendalls, but
made no threat against them She was
firm, however, that she would soon have
the place. I am sure that Mrs Star
buck had no intention of turning the
place over to the japanese for a tenn
pie or any other purpose. She wanted
me to take TT"
While the trailers worked indus
triously at the ranch today they found
little beyond the bullet found in the
SIDE of the house and the extension of
the trail of blood. A hatchet was dis
covered in the drawer of a cupboard.
The hatchet was blood stained and may
have been used by the murderer of
the Kendall family in his work, or
may have, been used by the Kendalls

Suspect Too Small To
Carry Out Murders
Without Aid

The Kendall murders have aroused
of this city and the two daily Nip
ponese publications are devoting con-
siderable space to the accounts of the
Cazadero mystery.
A careful canvass among the lead
ing Japanese of the city shows that
there is considerable doubt in the
minds of the members of the colony
as to whether Yamaguchi is guilty.
The few Of his countrymen in the
local colony who knew him say that
the fugitive Japanese was a man
weighing but little more than 100
pounds and scot the idea that he
could have carried through the muir
ders unassisted. if he had any hand in
the death dealing at all. Another
argument advanced by Japanese who
had no acquaintanceship at all with
the alleged murderer is that the
frightful mutilation of the bodies
could not have been done by a Jap
anese, as such course of destroying
evidence has never been heard of in
even the most atrocious murders in
Japan.
UNKNOWN IN JAPAN
In this regard Goroku Ikeda, owner
of the japanese New World, said yes
terday:
AS long as I have been old enough
to read l have been conversant with
all manners of news in the papers of
Japan and 1 have never once come
across a case of where Japanese, in
committing murder, ever mutliated or
destroyed the body. OF course, we
have murders in Japan just in all
countries, but such a desecration of a
dead body as took place in the Ken
dali murders has never been known in
no such act has ever been perpe-
trated b yany japanese in this coun-
try. | have talked with hundreds of

Discovery Late

The discovery was made late this aft
ernoon and it was not possible at that
time for the trailers to climb the sheer
rock and reach the point from which
the shot might have been fired. A long
detour through the hills must be made.

People can live in a temperature
which feels from 10 to 20 degrees cooler
than their /neighbors enjoy. by regu-
lating the diet
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about
four heaping teaspoonfuls OF Grape
Nuts, treated with a little rich cream
Add to this about two slices Of crisp
toast with meager amount of butter
and one cup OF well-made Postum.
BY this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved. while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out
The result is a very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and to
this comfortable condition is added the
certainty of easy and perfect digestion,
for the food being partially pre-digest-
ed Is quickly assimilated by the diges-
tive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They can
be made use OF and add materially to
the comfort of the user.

Day Uncertain

. Il can not dennitely TX the day of
the meeting. but il was about the time
that the Kendalls were killed. After
II was discovered that they had been
murdered and Tom Kendau's picture
appeared in the newspapers, I spoke to
. my family about the meeting again
- From Pratts statement it is appar-
ent that he did not meet Kendall on
the day the young man is thought to
have been killed. for on that day, Satur-
day. July %. Kendall rode on horse
back into Cazadero. 1t is known that
Tamag gachi was in the vicinity of the
Kendall place for several weeks before
the crime.
A misshapen bullet. to which ad-
hered fiecks of cloth was found today
inbedded in the porch wall of the
Kendall home.
A cut twig Of the buckeye tree by the
house and q few leaves which had been
clipped and penetrated told the trailers
and n1ountaineers on the posse at the
ranch Of death that the bullet had sped
from q point over the perpendicular
face Of a rock across the creek, that
an assassin had hidden himself on the
rock. out Of sight of the house. AS a
sharp shooter in war picks out his vic
tim with care and at his own time, so
the murderer of the KendalTs crouched
In a secret point and shot some member
or members Of the Kendall family. 1t
is possible that from his nest he killed
Mrs. Kendall as she stepped out on her
porch about her chores.

He was driving in a light buggy. AS

Immediately after / had passed the

j Japanese. I was surprised TO see one
in that section Of the country. as / did

what struck me most forcibly was the

a primary to be held between the

long term in the United States
senate beginning March A, 1913.
Governor Vardaman, Of

that request, for it will be a
primary held by consent and
binding those who consent to it.
But when that primary is ordered

n
the Democrats of the state of
Mississippi express their choice
in 1919, the nomination of that
choice in the primary Of 1911 will
be but a simple foramlity. No
one can doubt it.
II said that only valued the
commission from the state of
Mississippi when the confidence
and trust of the people of the
state went with that commission,
and | want to say to you now
that if the people of the state OF
Mississippi in that primary shall
say that J. X. Vardaman. or any
other son Of Mississippi, is their
choice for the long term, the
commission that | hold from the
state, at the first legislature that
convenes after that primary,
will be placed with my resigna-
ton in the hands of that legisla-
ture (applause,) and nay support
and the support of my friends,
will be given in that legislature
for the election of the choice of
