Mrs. Gertrude Patterson Makes
Sworn Statement of Relations
With Chicago Millionaire
HUSBAND WAS PAID
TO TAKE HER AWAY
Her Marriage a Bargain and Sale
Agreement Between Husband
and Lover and Life Subsequent
ly Long Struggle

DENVER, Nov. 17.-Gertruue 1io-
son, who will be placed on trial Mon
day on the charge of numbering her
husband, Charles A. Patterson, has
written remarkable biographical
sketch for the use of her attorney in
which she accuses a Chicago million
aire for having ruined her life and
having bribed Patterson to marry her.
She SAYS she and the Chicago man
lived together as husband and wife
for five years.
Lover Educated Her
Mrs. Pattersons statement is that
she was visiting in Chicago with her
sister and brother-in-law when she
was sixteen years old. A friend of
her sister introduced her to a mil
lionaire, who took great interest in
her and asked her to marry him, but
said first the girl must go to school
and study. He took her to Paris and
provided her tutor and arranged for
music lessons and departed almost i'm
mediately. At the end of five months
in response to a cablegram she re-
turned to New York and in his COM
pany went Immediately to Chicago
where he renewed his promise to mar
ry but always postponed the wedding
day.
Lived Together Five Years
For five years they lived together as
husband and wife and no one ever
questioned that she was married to
him, least of all her own people. Miss
Gibson as she was then, met her fu-
ture husband, Charles A. Patterson
at a skating rink. They became fast
friends and she told him her story.
Notwithstanding this Patterson asked
her to marry him. Patterson went
to this Chicago man and secured his
assent to- marry and not until some
time later she learned the Chicagoan
had given him $500 to marry her
and not as a wedding present to the
couple.
Systematic BIackmaiI
She says that after she learned this
life was one long humiliation, filed
with attempts on the part of Patter-
son to make her secure money from
the millionaire. She says Patterson
maintained a systematic blackmail up
on the rich Chicagoan. She declares
he thereatened to kill her if she re-
fused, and she was compelled to go
with the mill -naire on a trip to Eu-
rope. The life of blackmail continued
according to the statement, until Mrs.
Patterson killed her husband on Sep
TENDER Is, last.

POTATO FLOUR FINDS
MARKETW|TH BAKERS
Germany and Netherlands Have
Many Factories for Drying
and Preserving the Spud

! BY products of the orchard are a
common enough matter of discussion
and it is generally admitted that the
presence here of canneries, wineries,
cider and vinegar factories. and evap-
Grating plants is only question OF
time. A by-product from one of the
other best known crops OF the valley,
| however has probably never been Sc
riously considered, namely the excel
lent Yakima spud.
Yet in Germany and the Neither
lands, the manufacture of potato flour
is an industry of considerable proper
lions. In the former country there
are 1876 plants, for drying potatoes
with an estimated production of about
10000 short tons,
Prizes offered
In 1901, when the potato crop of
Germany was enormous, efforts were
made to discover practical and eco
nomical methods of preserving the po-
tatoes so that the surplus could be
stored and utilized for future needs.
Prizes were offered and resulted in
the discovery of number of methods
of drying and grinding the potatoes.
of making flakes for stock feeding, of
distilling alcohol, and of making
starch.
The potato meal which is ground
and bolted for human consumption,
is sold largely to the bakers who mix
the potato flour with the wheat and
rye in baking bread. 1t is claimed
that it gives the bread an agreeable
:.
keeps it fresh longer.
Methods of Manufacture
There are several methods of MAX
ing the flour in use, but the most
common one consists of washing the
potatoes by machinery; cooking them
by means of low pressure steam. At
ter they are cooked, they fall into
hoppers where they are reduced to
pulp. The pulp is dried on hot
drums, scraped off by knives and
put through a spiral transporter
where it is broken into flakes and
conveyed to the packing room. In
the production of ground potato flour,
the flakes are ground and bolted.
Special Production
| In the Netherlands considerable
area is grown just for this purpose.
/ The ground is very highly fortified
to make it produce abundantly Po-
! tatoes raised on this highly fortified
! land are not very edible but are sat
! isfactory for the manufactured pro-
| duct. The potato -four exported from
| the Netherlands goes to Great Brit
ain, Spain, Belgium, Italy, the free
port of Hamburg, Denmark. the
| United States and Canada. The United
states imported $4,000 worth of deX-
trine and potato flour from the Meth
erlands in 1910. Exports have nearly
| doubled in ten years. DeXtrine is
used in sizing fabrics in textile fac
| tories There are eleven factories
manufacturing glucose from potatoes
but this is used chiefly at home since
the duties are so high as to make il
a very expensive import.
Several years ago, at the North
Yakima cannery, potatoes were
canned for use in Alaska and the
| Philippines. So far as known, the
experiment, which was carried on to
/ ill a government order. was success
full.

LAND SHOW HONORS
TO NORTHERN PACIFIC
New York Papers Concede That
Exhibit Gathered by N. P.
Was Best of the Show

A copy of the New York Tribune
of November tells of the Northern
Pacific exhibit at the Land Show and
gives the display the honor of being
the great feature of the show Incl
dentally the Yakima valley gets
boost. The article is as follows:
The managers of the Northern Pa
cific exhibit at the Land Show in
Madison Square Garden, whose i'm
mense painting of the Yellowstone
National Park, covering the entire
east end of the Garden, is the first
sight that meets the eyes of visitors,
were elated last night over the receipt
of a telegram of congra tulation from
Howard Elliott, president of the rail-
road, on the number of prizes which
the exhibit has carried off at the show.
Highest National Honors
First prizes for wheat, oats, barley
alfalfa and six prizes for packed APP
Piles, all from Northern Pacific ter
ritory, is the record up to date. These
prizes represent thousands of dollars
in money and trophies, and have put
the exhibit at the front of the race
for national honors at the Garden.

Washington. President Elliott's own
prize, offered for the best twenty-five
boxes of apples of any variety raised
in any part of the world, went to a
resident of the territory covered by
his lines, while the silver cups and
trophies for apples. oats, barley and
alfalfa have also been won by this
exhibit.
Striking Variety a Feature
outside the consideration of its size
the Northern Pacific exhibit at the
show is interesting also on account OF
its variety. Potatoes weighing three

says:
On the Indian Reservation, 1880
acres of land have been cleared, and
2,225 acres were either under crop or
prepared for it. Water was supplied
regularly to this area. In general,
the ground water plane lowered about
one foot during the month, except
close to the Colorado river, where it
rose a fraction of foot, due to the

DISTURBED HIS LITTLE GAME

Fred D. Warren is the editor of a
paper printed in Kansas. which calls
itself the Appeal To Reason" but
which, in fact, is an appeal to unrea-
son, passion and prejudice.
Warren was recently sentenced to
Imprisonment for sending defamatory
matters through the mails The of
iensive matter was an offer of a re-
ward to anyone who would kidnap a
former governor of Kentucky and re-
turn him to his own state for trial on
the charge of completely in the muir
der of Goebel.
Ever since his conviction, Warren
has been preparing himself to pose
as martyr to the freedom of speech.
He has been wildly portraying his
approaching incarceration in his pa
per and telling what he would do and
What his admirers throughout the
country would do when he was actual
~ placed behind the bars.
But President Taft has spoiled rbis
httle martyrdom by pardoning War.
rem He has thus robbed Warren of
the opportunity to make hero out OF
himself. Under the presidents ruling
ne cannot even go to prison in default
OF paying the fine. because the presi.
Gent DEGREES that the fine shall he col
iected by civil process only. So. the
appeal must be bitterly disappointed
deprived as it is by the hand OF the
emef executive Of what would have
proved some very valuahae advertis-
Ing for it. III
As Mr. Taft points out in his decree
the statute in question has nothing 10

IL merely a postal regulation, intend.

ed TO protect the public from improp-
er matter that might be transmitted
through the mails. The government
holds that it is not desirable to have
certain matter sent through the mails
and the creed of Warren was in TIE
Objectionable class. President Taft
has shown sound judgment in grant
ing the pardon. OF course, the Appeal
To Reason will claim that the presi-
dent heard the clarion call of public
sentiment and dared not let the SEN
tence stand; but reasonable persons
will have no difficulty in arriving at
the conclusion that the president act
ed with distinct idea that he would
avoid whole lot of persecution rot
and save the country from a series of
painful ebullitions on the part of the
Appeal to Reason.
