INDIANS MADE SLAVES.
Consul Fuller Tells of Cruelty
Practiced in Peru's Rub
Der District.

A twentieth century story of cruel
Anslo-Saxon exploitation of South Ameri-
can Indians was laid bare yester-
day afternoon in a special State De-
partment report which President Taft
transmitted to Congress. The pres
ent-day victims of medieval system
of barbarous oppression are the Indian
tribes Of the Putumayo district in Peru.
1t is shown in the report that these peo-
pie had been driven to work before the
lash welded by employees Of the Peruvian
Amazon Company, an English concern
which works the rubber fields in the up
per Amazon country.
Stuart j. Fuller, American consul at
Iouitos, Peru, who made the investiga-
ton, finds that 1t is the Putumayo coun-
try's remeteness from the Peruvian capt.
tai, from all governmental authority, that
has left the natives entirely at the mercy
of the company. When they failed to
bring in a toll sufficient to satisfy the de-
mands Of the overseers. fioggfng, mutila-
ton and sometimes death followed. 1t Is
asserted. Many of the Indians whom MI.
Fuller saw bore SEARS of fioSgings and
other maltreatment.
Mr.. Fuller found that the labor of the
Indians is secured by system OF peon-
age based on advance of merchandise.
Although payment is made for this labor.
il is declared to be nothing more nor less
than forced labor. The temptation to
abuse is imminent and strong, especially
since the white staff is offered bonus
for vigilance. He reached the conclusion
that, considering the remoteness OF the
country and the poor quality OF the rub
Der, it is difficult to make the enterprise
nav without hard treatment of the In
dams.
With governmental machinery absent.
Mr. Fuller is OF the opinion. however,
that should the rubber corporations cease
its activities the Indians would fall to no
better lot at the hands of freebooting eX-
nrdifionS and slave raiders.

Hopeful of Ending Abuses.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Ashland People Should Learn to De,
tect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation
of scalding. The back may ache
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighted
down by a feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there is danger. Delay often proves
fatal.
You can use no better endorsed
kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills. Here's Ashland proof of their
merit:
Mrs. H. A. Creighton, 441 B street,
Ashland, Ore, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills have been used with fine
results in our family. l have noted
their good effects in cases of back
ache and kidney weakness. 1 don't
