WASHINGTON, June 23.-That the
Mormon Church, in enlisting the aid Of
Henry o. Havemeyer to extend its
beet sugar industries, was seeking
solely the welfare of its people, was
declared today by Thomas r. Cutler,
yice-president Of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar Refining Company, before the
House sugar trust" investigating COM
mittee.
Cutler discussed freely the business
policy of the church and was frank in
revealing details of dealings with
Hayemeyer.
The sugar committee also examined
Chester s. Morey, president of the
Great Western Sugar Refining Com
pany of Denver, a combination embrace
ing sixteen Colorado beet sugar fac
tories in which the American Sugar
Refining Company has acquired half
interest. Morey will continue on the
stand tomorrow.
The committee has thus far dis
closed the American Sugar Refining
Company interest in the Michigan
beet sugar industry, the Utah beet
sugar factories, and the Colorado
group of factories, and from John d.
Spreckels of California, who will ar
rive tomorrow, it is expected to show
that the corporation has influential in
terests in the factories of that state.

mony he was examined at length as

sationaist and has plenty of fife stor-
les to tell, especially of his travels, as
he has visited nearly every accessible
country in the world.
When the Inflated battleship Maine
was commissioned, Colonel Bode was
one of the sailors who put to sea on
her. Shortly afterward he was trans
ferred to the Texas and consequently
missed the explosion of the Maine in
Havana harbor.
In Spanish War.
Several months after the Spanish
American war began Colonel Bode en-
listed as a private in the First Mon
tana regiment of the Fourth United
States Infantry and went to the Philip
pine Islands to help put down the
Filipino rebellion. He served in the
campaign from Collacar to San Fran
indo and was wounded several times.
He served his regular enlistment and
received his discharge.
Desiring to see the world, Colonel
Bode set sail from Manila to travet
through the Orient. While travelling,
Russia and Japan became involved in
a war. Colonel Bode again felt de-
sire to fight and consequently enlisted
as a Russian artilleryman under Gen
eral Dessino. During this war he par
ticipated in the battles at Loi Yang
and Mukden and was wounded once
in the leg.
This war in the Orient over, Bode
journeyed to Borneo, where he spent
nine months crossing the wild coun-
try, living only on what he could pick
off the ground While in this wild
and virtually uncivilized country Colo
mel Bode staked out several claims,
which he believes will produce gold.
Hearing of the rebellion in Mexico,
Colonel Bode returned and Joined the
Mexican revolutionists in Sonora. He
was gradually promoted from the
ranks to lieutenant-colonel and given
charge of a command. He served in
all of the battles in Sonora, being at
Ell Colorado and Aqua Prieta. The

applied for his discharge, which was
recently given by General Madero.
Colonel Bode had $50 men under
him, thirty-two being Americans, and

The native home of Colonel Bode is
in Honolulu, where he is member OF
the national guard of Hawaii.
According to Colonel Bode, more
than sixty Mexican women fought with

Henry Bode son of John Bode of
Kealia and a graduate of st. Louis
College, has been heard from in Okla
homa, where he has supplied some
new chapters of an adventurous life.
Bode became a Northumberland in
the army of General Madero, and is
now on his way to Borneo to collect
orchids for some rich New Workers.
He writes to the Star from Oklahoma
City, sending his aloha to friends here
and enclosing the following from an
Oklahoma daily paper:
In Three Wars.
After serving as a soldier of fortune
in three wars and bearing the coveted
distinction of being one of the first
white men to ever traverse the wilds
OF Borneo, Lieutenant-Colonel Henry
Bode of the Mexican insurrectos, is
now in Oklahoma City en- route to
Borneo, where he has been commits
stoned to hunt orchids for a syndicate
of New York millionaires.
Colonel Bode bears honorable dis
charge papers from General Francisco
Madero, and many letters commencing
him for his services in the state of So
nora.
Questioned about the Mexican lib
eral party which is at present waging
a war in Lower California, Colonel
Bode classed the leaders of the party
as being "grafters."
Ricardo Flores Magon, Anselmo L.
Giguero, Librado Rivera, Antonio de
P. Eraujo and Enrique Flores Magon
are just coming money from poor I'M
sophisticated MeXicans," declared
Bode "These men have collected
about $2,OOOOOO to further the cause
of the liberal party, and still they
have only about 1000 poorly equipped
men in the field. They should have
about 10000 well-fed, well-equipped
soldiers now fighting, if they were in
earnest.
Madero Peoples Choice.
General Madero~ is not a million
aire himself, but is a member of
wealthy family and has refused to rec
ognize the rebels in Lower California.
These liberals declared Madero is an
anti-re-electionist, who, has grown
wealthy by the sweat and tears of the
poems of his haciendas. That is not
true. Madero has always been the
choice of the common people, and was
elected over Diaz as president, and
then thrown into jail. To secure JUS
tice he and his brothers went out and
fought for liberty.
"Why do not the leaders of the lib
eral party go out and fight? All they
have done so far is to stay at their
junta headquarters in Los Angeles ana
collect money I have 1000 men now
that I can get any minute Madero
needs help"
Senior Tomas S. Labrada, organizer
of the liberal party, is now in Okla
homa City for the purpose Of forming
a local junta of the party.

reads like a novel and is filled with

Attempted Suicide.

Late yesterday afternoon Robert
Woodard, an ex-police officer of Lu4
CANA, who served our neighhorine
town in that capacity some two years
ago, also resident of the place and
at present holding a position as SEQ
ton hand on the Coast Line, attempt
ed suicide, or pretended he was try
ing to end his life by drinking the
contents of a ten-cent vial OF lauda-
mum, usually found in country
store
The attention of DIR. A. F. Williams
was called to the man and the physt-
clan led Woodard into the Sanatoriufn
for the purpose of pumping the drug
from his stomach.
Woodard informed Dr. Moore that II
had been four hourse since he drank
the laudanum and the physicians at
ter learning this did not deem II
necessary to use the pump. Woodard
left pretty soon for home.
There is some question whether he
emptied the bottle Of the contents
into his system. Others are of the
opinion that the laudanum was Of
poor quality or adulterated and thai
Woodard drank the stuff while in
mood to gather sympathy for himself.
His note book was found where he
had written the following letter;
my name is Robert Woodard, OF
Lucama, N. c., and I have been i'm
trouble for three long months, and /
don't know but one way to get out.
and that is to kill myself and I will,
do so, and IL I die want my chill
dren sent to Sunday school and,
church after 1 am gone. I want to be-
buried in the Lucama grave yard. l.
want to be buried as I am. My
clothes is good enuff."
From what we could gather Wood
ard is considered a fairly good hand.
His wages are $11O per day.

our State judges are chosen. Nearly
one hundred years ago Mr.. Jefferson
saw the tendency of the present un-
democratic system of the life tenure
for the judges and the method of their
selection, and advocated the. change
which now propose. However hon
est and able judges may be, expert
ence nas proven that men chosen as
they are, and holding for life, are not
in accord with the reforms and meas
ures demanded by the needs OF the
people. Originally all the State judges
were selected in the same manner
that is still retained in the appoint
ment of Federal judges, and held for
life, but in nearly every State the
evils of that method have long since
caused change to popular election
and for a term of years. The evil is
even greater when applied to Federal
judges, and should not be permitted
to continue. 60 The postmasters of
the South have been appointed since
the war, with the exception of a few
years, by the influence of local
oliques of politicians of the minority
party. The postmasters should be
elected by the people in districts laid
off by law for each post Office for
term of four years, and be chosen at
ner as members of Congress, the peo-
pie of each locality electing their
postmaster. This, as we'll as the cleo
ton of judges, is a much needed
measure of decentralization, restoring
local self-government and depriving
Presidents of the power of using their
Office to secure denomination.
That the people may have the
necessary control of their own gov
ernment, earnestly advocate the ini
tiative, referendum and also the re-
call as to such officers. as by law it
may be provided.
In the absence of a legalized pri
mary for both political parties l
advocate a Statewide primary to
be held on the same day, for the
nomination by the Democratic party
of all State officers and also of
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, under rules and regulations TO
be prescribed by the Democratic State
Executive Committee, and with strict
restriction of the purposes for which
money can be expended by any candi-
date or his friends for him, and with
entire publicity of all items of ex-
penditure, both before and after the
primary is held. All good men earn
estly desire that vigorous and decided
steps shall be taken to break up an
evil which threatens party supremacy,
and which, if not checked, will ulti-
mately and inevitably place the Sc
lection of all important officers in the
ndnUS o. great OSdC1O1AS VI Oc1p1t1
If no candidate for Senator shall re-
ceive majority at the first primary,
choice can be made at a second pri.
mary between the two receiving the
highest vote.
Thanking you for the kind express
sions in your letter, 1 shall be crate
full for the support in this contest OF
all who agree with me in the neces-
sity of earnest steps to restore the
government to the people and to
purge our primaries and elections
from the Influence and the use OF
money. Most truly yours,
WALTER CLARK.
