LONDON. July IA. The report Of Sir
Roger Easement on the outrages in the
Putumayo rubber district Of Peru is be-
ginning to be taken up by the home papers
here as a sensational matter. The fact
that the population Of the district was re-
dnced from 5O.C00 in 1905 to 5000 in 1911
attests the horrible savagery with which
the wretched people Of the place were
freated. There vas slaughter by famine,
which WAS often purposely brought about
by the destruction OF the crops. over whole
districts.
Starvation was also inflicted as sort OF
death penalty on individuals for their
failure 10 bring in their quota Of rubber
Death by bullet was also supplemented
by ficgcing and other tortures. The case
is also cited Of an ANTIQUARIAN named
Augustus Walcott. who demonstrated
when father and son were beaten with
swords and hung up bv the neck till they
died. The antiquarian. because of his
remonstrance. was also hung up and
beaten with machete ill he became un-
conscious.

according to advices received here, il
has been charged that the United States

going on in the Putumayo districis.
Washington is apparently more optimis-
outcome, for it is believed here that Peru
will succeed in putting a stop to the
butchery and torture Of the Indiana.

looking forward to the receipt Of q report
from its own agent. Stewart Fowler,

BLOND HAIR SCARCE,

The Demand Growing-SOme

The reason for the increased demand
according to the same authority, Ia
that nearly every woman makes addi-

the fashion to do so. and the present
styles OF hair dressing are difflcult to
carry out without extra switches and
such arrangements.
Curls have gone out Of fashion and
long switches and plaits are required
and these need more hair. Some OF
these switches are between twenty and
thirty inches long and cost more than
$50.

ANOTHER JUDGE MAY
FACE IMPEACHMENT

Macon, Ca, July 31.-The probabil-
ity of another United States Judge
facing impeachment charges on
grounds alleged to be not unlike those
in the case of Judges Hanford and
Archibald. became known today when
1t was intimated that Judge Emery
Speer for the southern district of
Georgia will probably be compelled to
defend an action declaring that for
mer Mayor Huff of Macon was in
contempt of court for writing letters
assailing Speer's record on the bench.
Friends of Huff today stated the lat
ter intended to present charges OF
such a nature against Speer as would
warrant congress in ordering an in
vestigation. When Huffs letter
reached Judge Speer he ordered Huff
arrested. The Huff estate here has
been in the court 13 years on bank
ruptcy proceedings and in his letter
Huff said that as Speer had been in
active IS years he proposed to get
justice. In his letter Huff referred
to Speer as a "petticoat pensioner and
venal and corrupt judge"

WELL KNOWN MAN
SUFFERS SHOCK

w. r. Ferguson. well known bar
tender, popularly known as "Fergie," Z"
was last evening stricken with apo
plexy while at work in the st. George
bar and is today lying at st. Anthony's
hospital in a precarious condition,
though slightly better than during
the night. DR.. E. o. Parker, who is
attending him, this afternoon express
ed hopes of saving his life.
"Fergie" had been ill all day yes
terday, but it was not until about Sis
last evening that he suffered the
stroke. Friends seized him and car
ried him to chair. while others sum-
moned a physician. Though DR..
Parker responded within few min
utes, 1t was feared that he would ex-
pire before medical aid could arrive
DIR. Parker Immediately pronounced
the sick man suffering from a stroke
of apoplexy and ordered him remov-
ed at once to the hospital. All night
long he attended him, expecting the
end at every. moment. but about -four
O'Clock this morning. the commissions
stopped and the patient rallied.
DR.. Parker states that the left side
of the mans face and the right side
of his body were paralyzed and that
he suffered the loss of his speech.
Today. though still unable to articu-
late intelligibly, he seems to be re-
gaining to a slight degree the use of
his organs of speech.
"Fergie" is probably the best
known bartender in the northwest and
has many friends who will regret to
learn of his illness.

of experience for material for an ex-
citing drama of the west entitled
"The Cowgirl Queen of Oregon" and
who proposes to produce the play at
the Roundup this fall. She has writ
ten her proposition to the Roundup
board and is now awaiting an answer.
She is beautiful of face and figure
is this cowgirl at least she conveys
that impression, and can ride like a
deer The Roundup boys are consid-
erably non-plussed over this latter
comparison, none OF them ever hav-
ing seen deer ride, but gallantly
they assume that she mispelled the
word and meant the dear kind.
She gives a short sketch of the action
of her drama which would indicate
that II 1t teens with thrills. In con-
cluding, she condescendingly suggests
that she as the real Cowgirl queen"
would lead the Roundup street pa
