Tale of Outrage by
Zapata Band Told
by American Woman
Mrs. Sturgis Describes Horrors of
Eight Months of Captivity to
Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Monday.-A story
of hardship and degradation during eight
months as a prisoner in Mexican bandit
camp was told today by Mrs. Cora Lee
Sturgis, Virginian. before a Senate com
mittee investigating the Mexican situa-
ton.
Mrs. Sturgis told how her old mother
worn out by long suffering and humlia-
ton, died of starvation after their ranch
had been looted by the bandits. and how
she herself had been forced to go into
the hills to cut wood and of a long tramp
to another camp with secret message
from bandit to bandit sewed in the sole of
her shoe.
Americans We're perfectly safe under
Diaz," she said. 1--WE had no trouble under
Madero, because the people liked him. We
had no trouble with Huerta. and folks in
my part of the untry-Chiapas-hard.y
knew him. One first trouble was in 1915,
when Carranza sent troops to our section
to drive away the help"
1t was nearly two years later that the
home of the Sturgis family, comprising DR..
Sturgis, dentist, his wife, the witness
today, and her mother, was raided by
federal soldiers who charged them with
giving refuge to rebels.
Mrs. Sturgis said rebel and Carranza
forces frequently worked together, and
that both factions disseminated anti
American propaganda including charge
that Henry p. Fletcher, American Am
bassador to Mexico, had accepted one mill
ion dollars to uphold the Carranza govern
ment.
Zapata bandits raided her ranch and
took everything movable, including $4,000
in cash. They We're sent forty miles across
country to prison camp, Mrs. Sturgts
and her husband afoot and the formers
mother on a mule. Sent with message
to another bandit, she returned to find
her mother dead and her husband dying
of starvation. Later she was released and
walked with DR.. Sturgis to their old ranch
to find it bare as a bone.

SEES NEW
DEVELOPMENTS IN
ARRIVAL OF N|TT|
Italian Premier's Conferences
with Lloyd George on Fiume
to Begin Today.
BY TRUMAN H. TALLEY,
Special Correspondent Of the Herald.
[ Copyright, 1920, by the Nero York HeroM
Company--AU Rights Reserted]
Especial Cable to the HeraId.l

!
Premier Nitti and Foreign Minister
IScialoia arrived in London tonight from
Italy. They were met at the station by
David Lloyd George and Lord Curzon, and
the most cordial greetings were ex-
changed. No conferences were held to-
night. but negotiations will begin early
omorrow morning in Downing street.
1t is generally accepted that the negotia-
ions will deal purely with the Adriatic
question, but the personnel of Premier
Nitti's rather large staff, when it became
known tonight. excited the belief that new
developments were near in the attempt to
settle the Fiume problem.
Marchese Della Torretta, who is ac-
companying the Italian Premier as chief
adviser, is considered one of the foremost
Italian experts on Russian and Eastern
affairs. He has covered many important
diplomatic tasks and took an important
part in the Italian delegations work
throughout the Paris conference. He has
been a member of several interallied
missions into the East. notab bly, to Poland
and once was in charge of Italian affairs
in Russia, after the Kerensky collapse
He has just been to Austria and the
Balkans. and his presence here now on a
mission which is purely Anglo-Italian is
taken as an indication that the Allies, at
least England. contemplate balancing
some sort of Fiume compromise with a
frank recognition of Italy's share iE the
reconstruction of the Near East and the
assignment to her of protectorates or
mandates in the Eastern Mediterranean
One commentator asserts that only BY
some such agreement-especially ii the
Allies cannot see their way clear to give
Fiume to Italy outright-will the Mediter-
ranian and the Near East be maintained
safe for England and secure for Italy, as
France has her hands full with the
Serbian Balkans and America prefers to
remain aloof.
There are admittedly several Turkish
interests over which Italy would like con-
trol--a fact which gives observers the cue
to predict that Fiume settlement salts
factory to France and the Serbs, as well
as to Italy. may be affected in return for
Italian expansion and control in Asia
Minor.

Lloyd George, Seeing
Defeat, Said To Be
Planning New Party

LONDON. Tuesday.-The political CORE
Premier Lloyd George, foreseeing that he
has no political future among either the
Unionists or Liberals, is preparing TO
inaugurate a new centre party. of which
he would assume the leadership.
This" adds the correspondent, sis the
real reason for Mr.. ChurchlPs attack on
labor, which, doubtless, was more or less
inspired by the Premier. The association
of Mr.. Lloyd George with Mr.. Churchill
is so close that toward the end of the
last session of Parliament the members
used to say that the government really
consisted of Lloyd George and Churchill" ="
"Wher Mr.. Churchill last summer made
a centre party idea prominent in a public
speech he was certainly trying to keep
warm a place for the Premier. but Mr..
Lloyd George hesitated to declare himself
openly, because he wished TO keep open
a line of retreat"
The correspondent maintains that the
recent Spen Valley election sealed the
Premiers fate. He argues that the Pre-
mer has nothing to hope for from the
Liberals and that strong section of the
Unionists will not submit to his leader
ship. He must, therefore, form a new
party and try to capture the Unionst
party machine, with the support of ma
jority Of the Unionists and few Liberals,
who, like Mr.. Churchill, are frightened at
the effects of the labor policy.
Speaking at Sunderland Saturday night,
Mr.. Churchill declared that return to
party government in England at this time
would simply mean turning the country
over to the Labor party, which would
bring the country TO grief"

fcient and more highly paid police and

with the law enforcing bodies of New
York and other municipalities. so that an
interurban police system would be devised
for the cooperative detection of crime.
In this connection it was noted that
Mayor John +. Hylan Of New York was
