ALLEGED BANK ROBBER
ARRESTED AT McAlESTEH

Chandler, OKLA, April 10.-Claude
Sawyer charged with having been a
member of the Henry Henry Starr
gang that robbed the two banks at
Stroud, Okla, Saturday, March 27,
was placed in Jail here Friday Saw
yer was arrested late Thursday night
in a livery stable at McAlester by
William Tilghman, special officer;
George Arnold, sheriff of Lincoln
county, and Frank Miles, deputy
sheriff of Lincoln county. According
to Tilghman the clue which led to
the arrest of Sawyer was obtained
through Sam Estes, the cell mate of
Bud" Maxfield, while Max
field charged with having been
member of the Starr gang,
was being held as a suspect in the
Tulsa county Jail. Tilghman asserts
that the placing of Sam Estes in the
Tulsa county Jail was part of a plan
to obtain information from Bud"
MaXfeld which might lead to the
arrest of other alleged members of
the Starr gang of robbers. A banker
from Stroud called .at the Jail and
identified" Sam Estes as one of the
men who participated in the raid.
Tilghman is authority for the state
ment that Sam Estes had nothing to
do with the robbery. Sam Estes is a
brother to Louis Estes, the wounded
bandit now confined in the Lincoln
county Jail at Chandler, says Thigh
man. Louis Estes was shot in the
neck while he was leaving Stroud.
after having participated in the raid
upon the two banks in the town.
When Sawyer was arrested in Nc
Alester Thursday night he wore a
$35 cowboy hat. He is six feet and
two inches tall When placed under
arrest he pleaded with the officers
to be allowed to telephone his faith
er, who, he said, lives ten miles from
McAlester and is wealthy. The Of
ficers, fearing that Sawyer would
make use of the telephone for the
purpose of summoning companions
who might interfere with the arrest.
hurried the prisoner out of McAles-
ter to Tulsa.
Friday afternoon the officers
brought Sawyer and Bud Maxfield to
Chandler where they we're lodged in
jail with Henry Starr and Louis
Estes. With Sam Estes eliminated
as a suspect there are three of the
Henry Starr gang of Stroud bank
robbers still at large.

Work is Worth While.
"BlACk DEVIL" Is tanned.

Lawrence, Kas., April 10.-Oscar
r. Gleason, horse tanner and horse
educator, completely conquered Black
Devil said to be the most vicious
stallion in the world, before a crowd
of 1000 people here this afternoon.
The animal has been kept in con-
finement for four years in Havana,
Kas., and for the first time in the
eleven years of its existence was
driven in harness today. Professor
Gleason. who is 60 years old, tanned
the stallion without using undue
force or cruelty, the task requiring
one hour and five minutes.
After roping the animals front
legs, Professor Gleason gradually, by
kindness and some sternness won the
complete confidence of the horse,
which finally submitted to harness
ing and was driven hitched to a
buggy, obeying every instruction
given by Professor Gleason.

Washington, April 10.-ln speech
before the Maryland annual confer
ence of the Methodist Protestant
church in session here tonight, Pres
ident Wilson said it was his belief
that no man was wise enough to
pronounce Judgment on the European
war at this time. He said in part:
1T seemed to me that it was worth
saying something like this: These
are days of great perplexity, when
a great cloud of trouble hangs and
broods over the greater part of the
world. 1t seems as if great blind
material forces had been released
which had for long been held in
leash and restraint. Yet underneath
it, you can see the strong impulses
of great ideals. 1t would be impos-
sible. ladies' and gentlemen, for men
to go through what men are going
through on the battlefelds of Europe
and struggle through the present
dark night of their terrible struggle
if it were not that they saw, or
thought they saw, the broadening
of light where the morning should
come up, and believed that they
We're standing each on his side of
the contest for some eternal prin-
ciple of right
"Then all about them, all about us,
there sits the silent, waiting tribunal
which is going to utter the ultimate
judgment upon this struggle, the
great tribunal of the opinion of the
world, and | fancy | see, hope that
see, | pray that it may be that
do truly see, great spiritual forces
lying waiting Tor the outcome of
this thing to assert themselves, and
asserting themselves even now, to en-
tighten our judgment and steady our
spirits. No man is wise enough to
pronounce judgment, but we can all
hold our spirits in readiness to accept
the truth when it dawns on us and
is revealed 10 us in the outcome
of this titanic struggle"

UnspeakabIe Conditions.

New York, April 10-Sanitary con
ditions in eastern Turkey are "un-
speakable,' according to reports made
public here Friday from cities where
the American board of foreign mis-
sions has hospitals. Typhus and
typhoid fever are raging, physicians
missionaries, nurses and other Am
orleans have caught the contagion,
hospitals are overlooking, schools
have been closed and sick soldiers
are toppling over like nine pins,
it is said.
At Ezerum, where missions were
established for the use of sick and
wounded soldiers, the Rev. r. S.
Stapleton and his wife, who is a
physician. were taken with typhus as
we'll as their two children. DR. r.
P. Case, who is in charge of the
American hospital there, and his wife
later were stricken with the disease.
Two German women nurses, the drug

TEN THOUSAND CHRISTIANS ARE

SPEAkABLE CONDITIONS.

New York, April 1O.-"A fearful
rate of mortality" among the 10000
refugees at the American mission at
Urumiah, where, it is said 5000 per-
sons scarcely could find accommo-
dation. is reported in a communica-
ton received here Friday through
the state department at Washington
by the Presbyterian board of for
eign missions.
So great was the danger, it is
said in the communication, that for
while it was unsafe for anyone
to leave the premises and conse-
quently the dead could not be bur-
led. At times an average of forty
refugees died every day.
The communication, a copy of one
sent to F. w. Smith, American con
sui at Tiflis, Persia, by Rev. Robert
NJ. La Baree of Urumiah, described
in detail the flight of the Christians
not only from Urumiah, but from
all Azerbaiian provinces after the
withdrawal of the Russian troops.
''Of the thousands who were forced
to remain behind" the communica-
ton says in part, their villages be-

"All who could fed to the city

them the best hope of safety. That
was our American mission property
guarded by the American flag and
what was even more potent than
the flag, the influence and confidence
earned by long years of service by
our missionaries.
at is estimated that 1900 took
refuge in our mission compounds of
Urumiah, while 5000 more were
given shelter at the French mission.
Those who took refuge with us were
unharmed, while villages were being

of lives were being lost"

Rome. April 10.-Italy's failure to
enter the war up to the present
time is explained in official circles
as due to the fact that the coun-
try's statesmen do not want to
plunge the nation into the enormous
risks of war without first eXhausting
every means of obtaining what the
people desire without recourse to
arms. 1t is pointed out that in the
meantime Italy is gaining every day
in military strength and in economic
resources by postponing her entrance
into the conflict.
Official reports received here from
European capitals are said to agree
in the statement that the supreme
clash between the allies on the one
side and the Austro-German armies
on the other, which originally SEEM
ed certain to take place in May, will
be postponed until June or even later.
The answer made to those who
are urging immediate hostilities is
that under the circumstances there
is no reason why Italy should hasten
her action. since the longer she de-
lays the greater would be her chanc-
es of success and the greater aid
she would be able to give those
countries on whose side she would
align herself.
No attempt is made to deny that
a war against Austria, for which the
people have most felt animosity.
would be popular. In this connection
it is pointed out that the Italian
army has been successfully modified
without a protest from Austria, the
country most obviously threatened.
This is taken in some quarters to
Indicate that the leaders Of the dual
monarchy are desirous of averting

cessions Italy desires

WAR PARTY IN

INTERVENTION
MOVEMENT AGAINST MONARCHY
THREATENED IF NATION LONG
Err AVOIDS CONFLICT - Ex-
CITING TIMES.

Rome, April 1O.-Political parties
favorable to Italys immediate in
teryention in the war, comprising
democrats, radicals, reformists, So
cialists and nationalists, have ar
ranged a great meeting to be held
Sunday throughout Italy in an en-
deavor to bring about the participa-
tion of the country in the conflict.
The Couriere D'Itala, commenting
Friday on the event, says that it has
assumed the character of warning
to the monarchy, since the National
league, which arranged the meeting,
adopted a resolution containing this
sentence:
IF after long waiting there are
disillusiOns, no matter of what ma
ture, a profound political upheaval
is inevitable"
Professor Mussolne, a socialist
leader, explains this section of the
resolution thus:
I'm other words, If the monarchy
is unable to make national war the
monarchy will cease to exist in Italy
as a profound political upheaval
means change of regime"
The question whether Italy and
Austrian peace still is possible, and
whether a separate Russian Austrian
peace treaty is probable, are discuss
ed by the press of the capital. The
papers agree the two questions are
closely related since, if Russia, with
the permission of her allies, obtains
what she desires and comes to terms
with Vienna, it is impossible to i'm
agine Austria would be willing to
make territorial concessions to Italy.
1t is regarded as probable by the
newspapers that reports of peace ne
gotiations will be denied in all Of
fetal quarters until some tangible
agreement is reached The position
of Austria, it is contended, Is be-
coming daily more grave because of
the Russian invasion and the threat
of Italian intervention.

Adopts Interesting Plan.
The plan of Miss Peet's work is
to bring together the housewives of
the city who are deeply interested,
and present to them the Importance
of good food and its effect upon the
home and the community. She does
this in two ways; first by the lee
ture method. A most entertaining
and convincing speaker, it is not diff
ficult for Miss Peet to hold large
crowds of women at a point of in
tense interest for any length of time
while she discusses the food situa-

She does this quite easily before

as she goes along, every detail of the
methods why she does this, that or
the other, which foods make the
best combinations, which are most
economical and which are most val
liable from the standpoint of nour-
ishment.
