ENVOY TO REPORT
ON PERU SITUATION
Stuart Fuller Will Personally APP
pear To Tell Of Rubber
Conditions.

Stuart Fuller. special representative
OF the State Department In the inves-
tigation Of conditions in the Putonayo
rubber district In South America, Will
report In person to the department
within the next month. II had been
proposed that Mr. Fuller's report should
jungle fever. and II was feared that he
might be delayed for several weeks on
His purpose to report in person indi.
Gates a. return to better health. and
may point to report OF unexpected
importance.
Mr.. Fuller Investigated the conditions
In the rubber district about Iquitos In
company with the British consular
agent. Mr.. Michel. The English report
was published. supporting in detail the
charges Of horrible atrocities perpe-
trated upon the natives by the rubber
gathering bosses. The chief purpose of
Mr.. Fuller's mission was not to gather
corroborative material, however. but to
determine what conditions now exist.
Ii has been said that under pressure
from Peru the cruelty to Indians has
been mtigated. Mr.. Fuller's report WHY
deal with this.
1t Is highly probable that when MI.
Fuller calls at the department he will
have some practical suggestions to
make as to how the contractors can be
controlled. The Peruvian government
IL far removed from the rubber district
and administra alive officials have pref
ty hard time of 1t, some Of them falling
victim to the easy opportunities to
make big money by falling into the
ruthless customs of the district.

DARING RIDE WINS
STEEPLECHASE FOR
LIEUT.. ROCKWELL
Capital Horseman Takes
High Honor at Belmont
far Park.

Lieut.. q. X. Rockwell. one of the en-.
thusiastic horsemen of the District, and
an ofi1cial Of the National Capital Horse
Show, and the Washington Hunt and
Steeplechase Association, won the
Corinthian Steeplechase at Belmont Ter
minal Park. N. Y. yesterday, after one
Of the most thrilling races that any
steeplechase course has known in a
long time.
Army officers associated with Lieuten-
ant Rockwell at the War Department,
today rejoiced in the way he won In
spite Of early misfortunes in the race.
Il, Contest Is Spectacular.
Tho contest for the Corinthian steepie-
chase was one of the most spectacular
races ever decided on n course devoted
to amateurs. Bill Andrews, Country
Guy and Macedonian ran. but It was
the two first named and their riders.
Lieutenant Rockwell and Richard Nor
timer. jr.. that furnished the excite
nient
= Bill Andrews was the favorite at 3 to
8. with Country Guy second in favor at
2 to 1. When the flag fell at the start
Lieutenant Rockwell shot Bill Andrews
to the front and the horse held two
lengths advantage to the hedge fence
in front Of the grand stand. Bill An
drews took on too closely the Jump
and hit It, He landed In a heap and
with such q hard Jolt that Lieutenant
Rockwell was tossed out OF the saddle.
Just az he was pitching head foremost
over the horse he grabbed him by the
neck. BY exerting his strength to the
utmost Lieutenant Rockwell pulled HIM
self back into the saddle.
II was a clever piece of rough rid
ing and the crowd oheered. BY the
time II was accomplished Country Guy
had taken the lead and opened up gap
Of four lengths. Rockwell was unable
to. shove his feet into the stirrups, but
nevertheless set sail for the leader. BY
1udicious Judgment OF pace the young
lieutenant closed on Country Guy until
he was within two lengths Of the leader
at the last hurdle. Bill Andrews then
hung" ...
Unexpected Happened.
Then the unexpected happened. Coun-
try Guy had been jumping in faultiess
style up to that obstacle. but he failed
TO take Off properly and crashed through
It. Mortimer was tossed on to his
horses neck. Before he could recover,
Bill Andrews was In front and entered
tho last furlong with a commanding
lad.
But the excitement was not over yet.
With victory practically assured. Lieu
tenant Rockwell began pulling up his
horse. Mortimer. who had scrambled
back in the saddle, realizing he might
steal the race. brought up Country Guy
With rush. Mortimer would have sue
