Wilson Sends Expedition to
Ascertain Conditions
Among Rubber
Workers
WILLIAM F. Ne COMES.

Washington July s.-A repetition of the
horrors of the Congo rubber industry
among the native rubber gatherers of
Peru is the cause of dangerous mission
ary expedition which the state depart
ment has quietly sent up the Amazon
river in the interest of humanity. Today
Acting Secretary Huntington Wilson re-
ceived information that Captain Stuart
Fuller, one of the departments most
trusted agents, had arrived at lquitos, 2ool
miles up the Amazon on his way TO the
wild stretch of country to learn the facts
at first hand
The state department reports indicate
the existence Of conditions below the
equator that parallel the into.erable out
RACES in the Congo country in Africa
where natives were forced by tortures
and mutatons to collect certain auanti-
ties of rubber for Belgian and other con-
cessionaries.
The concessionaire In the case of the
rubber gatherers of the upper Putuyamc
river in Peru is asserted to be a British
corporation. 1t remained curiously
enough for British representatives and the
British government itself TO disclose the
charges against this corporation.
The state department, although no
American citizens are involved, consulted
with British officials and others interested
in the welfare of these natives and made
strong representations to the Peruvian
government 1t secured pledges from that
government that through DEGREES which
have been promulgated the obnoxious
conditions will be terminated.
The department then dispatched Captain
Fuller on the mission of ascertainine

redeemed. Captain Fuller Is an Iowan
who rendered signal service for the state
department during the disturbed days ir
China and later as consular officer al
Gothenburg, Sweden, and at Naples. To
days advices announce that Fuller will
make Quito his base of exploration and
that he will use steam launches for the
upper reaches of the Amazon and its
tributary, the Putuyanlo.

TO PETITION TAFT TO

Nationwide Movement by
Republicans
THEY FEAR DEFEAT
Said to Include Members of Congress.
State and County Officers VIII
Ask Roosevelt to With

| Washington. July S-A nation wide
movement to petition President Taft to
withdraw as the republican national can
didate is being backed by large num-
Der OF republican oficehoIders who feel
that they face defeat in November I'M
less the breach in the party can be
healed
These men include members of Con-
gress, members of state legislatures which
will elect senators, state and county
officeholders and party candidates. II
the movement to petition Mr.. Taft to
withdraw succeeds in gaining any vol
ume it Is said these same men In the in
terest of party harmony may ask Colo
nel Roosevelt to withdraw as pros
pective candidate for an Independent
nomination and permit compromise Sc
lection of some man agreeable to both
factions of the party. 1t is the desire
OF the promoters of the scheme that a
decision shall be reached before August
). when the Roosevelt faction plans to
| hold convention in Chicago.
Start Within Week
The circulation of petitions. 1t was de-
| clare ed today, would start within a week.
J 1t was said the movement would begin
| spontaneously in every state. The organ
! izers now are circulating blank forms OF
petitions and appointing supervisors who
| IN turn win engage canvassers to solicit
the signatures of republicans. The au-
thors OF the plansexpect to offer to prac-
| tically every republican voter In the
United States a chance to express his
opinions of Mr.. Tafts candidacy
The movement is in the hands of sew
eral well known members of Congress.
They are being aided by many of the ex-
treme Roosevelt republicans. The enlist
ment of the national progressive organi-
zation in the movement has been sought
and It was stated today that Senator
Dixon's organization was willing to CO.
operate.
Information that the petitions were tt,
be put before the voters leaked out to-
day No particular person is authority
for the statement and members of Con-
gress concerned were unwilling to stand
sponsors for 1t until the movement was
under way.
In the circulation of the anti-Taft pc
tions an effort will be made to get them
signed by organizations, republicans and
others who have stood with the Presi-
deni as well as by citizens who have oc-
cupied neutral ground There will be no
special effort made to get progressive re-
publican signatures as 1t is believed that
TO conhne the petitions to that faction
would encompass the defeat Of the move
ment.
illcse behind the plan say one of its
first results would be to let Mr.. Taft
know II there are any considerable num-
Der Of regular republicans who believe he
should step aside In the interest of har-
mony.
