who were carried into the mountains of Sonora and there forced to remain by their captors, who shaved the soles of their feet to the quick to make simpler the task of guarding them.
 An American girl from Nebraska, she said. now Is somewhere in the hills. the captive of Mexicans who dragged her from her home near the Gulf coast When the band appear ed they roped her father and moth CT and when she. l6 years old. threw herself before the NIexIcans they de- clared they would kill her parents. She faintcd and when revived she found herself alone In the hills with her assailants.
 An English woman in the state of ZacateCas was more fortunate, aC- Cordlng to Miss I.aut In this case Miss Baut said, the woman shot the bandit who was struggling with her, and then killed two other bandits who held her two daughters.
 Another story she related was that Of g woman whose skin was stripped from her faco. the Nexicaus cutting from the cCutCr Of tho forehead cir cuIarly about the face, then tearing the covering loose.
 A Kansas farmer was the victim of the CcdUo Brothers In the state of san Luis Potosi. according to her tCs- timony. His wife and daughter had Eone 10 Tampico, While they were gone the MeNiCans raided the place, hanged him to a tree, alternately rais- ing and lowering him and jabbing him with bavOnets. The man became in sapo and afferyyy-, T.Ies died
 Another example of the treatment of women which she cited was the taking into the hills of more than 30 women and girls from a train the NeXicans had captured.
 No attempt was made by the wit ness to shield the Carranza sOldiery. She admitted that fair part of the crimes were committed by bandits, but intimated that a number of the so-called bandits were in reality Mexican federal troops.
 Regarding reports that the rebels have been getting arms and ammuni- ton from the United States, she said that through an American army of dCer who had made the investigate for her he found that the rifles of many of the followers of Felix Diaz were of the same pattern used by the Mexican army, and that they had been acquired both Iry capture and by purchase from the Mexican troops.

BELGIUM WILL
 BUY ROLLING
 STOCK IN U. s.

Belgium will place an order for 10000 railroad cars in this country as soon as credit arrangements have been completed The value of this crder, 1t was estimated yesterday, will be in the neighborhOod of S2O,OOO,- 900. Negotiations are under way be- tween the American Locomotive Co and the Belgium government for 400 freight locomotives. Tn equip ment circles yesterday no mention was made Of any companies which would positively bid for the car or der, although it was suggested that the rivals might be the American Car and Foundry Co., the Haskell 6 Barker Car Co. and the Pressed Steel Car CO
 The chief obstacle to equipment purchasing has been the depreciation in Belgian exchange. T. is for this reason that work on the Belgian loan is being rushed. Bankers have been considering a loan for some time and 8 definite announcement as to it's particulars is expected within a short time. When this has been establish ed, dollar credits will have been ere ated here so that there can be a settle ment for equipment and other pur- chases, without exchange entering into the matter.
 Belgium is not the only European country planning rehabilitation of it's transportation lines. Italy and France are said to be in urgent need of equipment but it is not expected that anything definite as to their needs has yet been determined. IL is con sidered probable that a large part of the business that Is placed by Euro pean countries will come to American Sbmpan;es~ At present they are in the best position to supply the needs with comparative promptness- Bel gium was a big manufacturer of cars before the war, and a sharp rival of American manufacturers. How se- verely the industry has been disrupt ed abroad is shown by the fact that Belgium is planning to purchase such a big order here.
 w. H. Woodin, president of the American Car & Foundry Company, will sail for Europe this week to look over the equipment field there in Europe. Among other countries. he will visit Belgium.

 IN PORTLAND, ORE.

PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 6.-R)- A syndicate of business and sport ing men of this city wired today to Jack Dempsey offering him guaran- tee of one hundred thousand dollars if he will fight Georges Carpenter, the French heavyweight, next June. The promoters want the fight staged in this city.

No reply has yet been received from Dempsey's manager but it is believed the promoters will have some definite word by Monday.

DEPUTIES POUR WHlSKEY INTO
 CITY'S WATER
TWELVE GALLONS OF WHISKEY AND FIFTY GALLONS OF MASH POURED INTO CREEK WHICH FURNISHES THE TOWN OF BENTON WITH WATER.

SEATTLE, Dec. 6-R)-If the drinking water of the town of Ren- ton, suburb of this city. has a rem iniscient tang and flavor during the next few days the authorities will not be surprised because the huge reservoir from which it is furnished is believed to contain twelve gallons of whiskey and fifty gallons of fer mented mash.
 Deputy sheriffs, having seized a quantity of illicit-made whiskey and mash, proceeded to pour it into Panther creek this morning. Not un- til after they had disposed of the whiskey and mash was it discovered that the creek furnishes the drink ing water for Renton. It was then too late to rectify their error. The water is taken from the creek into huge reservoir and it is believed that the joy producing stuff was carried into this reservoir where it now lies giving a piquant flavor to the aqua pura."
