Ariz.. June 13.The Yaqul Indians are on the war path in lower Sonora and 2,000 Taquls are reported to be in the field. 1,700 armed with rifles and 300 with bows and arrows. The greater part of the Indians are in the delta of the Yaqul river, but many bands are reported in the mountains in the small camps, so disposed, however, as to be easily mobilized. Delay by the federal government in answering their demand for the return of the vast areas formerly inhabited by them, which were given to former Vice President Corral and former Governor Torres, has made the Indians restless, and they have now added to their ulti matum the return of thousands of acres occupied by American concessionaires. ■ General Ojeda, commanding the fed ' eral troops in Sonora, has been dis patched from Hermoslllo with 1,500 men to hold the Yaquis in check, while Vice .Governor Gayou is arranging a confer ence between the Yaqui Indians and the federal authorities at Mexico City. Governor Maytorena is reported to be still in Guaymas and leaving negotia , tions in Gayou's hands, as he, believes the latter can best pacify the Indians.

TRUST OUSTER KELLOGG IN PAT OF CORPORATION *• - • Lawyer Admits He Was Counsel for Two of Steel Combine's Railroads Roosevelt and Morgan Likely to Be Called by House Investigators Congress Committee Determined to Sift to Bottom Methods of Combine WASHINGTON, June 13.—Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel of the department of justice in , the prosecution of the Stand ard oil company and better known as the "trust buster," told the Stanley steel trust investigating committee o day hat he had for years been special counsel of subsidiary companies of the United States steel corporation in Min nesota and that he had no apologies to make for it. Chairman Stanley declared that the committee would summon any one—be lie the president o fthe United ______ or J. Pierpont Morgan— in order to as certain how, certain railroads, owned by the steel trust, were able to declare enormous dividends on small capital ization. It Js probable former Presi dent Roosevelt and Morgan will be asked to appear before the committee when it holds sessions in New York. Committee Wants to Know « "The chairman and this committee." said Stanley, "want to know how and why certain railroads are able to pay 100 or 150 per cent dividends and put $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 into their sur plus when their capitalization is only $4,000,000 or $-..000,000. That may be all right, and it may not. "We will summon the president of the United States. J. p. Morgan or any other person within the purview of the power of the committee to get the whole truth "and nothing bu the run." "I hlnk we ought to summon both those persons." said Representative Young of Michigan, a member of the committee. . .'. . ... , "'You mean the former president of the United States, don't you?" asked Chairman .Stanley. "Yes, of course," Young replied. Kellogg referred to a letter he had sent to the committee in which he ex plained that he and his firm—Davis. Kellogg & Severance—had for , years represented the Duluth and Iron Range railroad and the Duluth, Mesaba and Northern railroad since 1901. subsidiary companies of the United States steel corporation. Received $15,000 Fee Denying that while acting as special counsel for the government he had per formed any services for the steel cor poration. Kellogg frankly said that a fee of $15,000 for services previously performed had been approved by offi cials of the United States steel corpor ation and paid to him In October, -1907, after he had undertaken trust prosecu tion for the government. "There has ben a good deal said." Kellogg told the committee, "about my connection with the government and with the steel corporation. To com mence with, I have no apologies to make. I have explained to this com mittee my services with these subsid iary companies to the steel corporation. They were purely local. They did not concern the steel corporation as an or ganization. Just prior to 1906 I argued some mineral rights cases in Minne sota and presented a bill for $15,000. This, I believe, was approved by the steel corporation in 1907. Always After Business "Since 1907 I have given my time to the government in the Standard oil and a few other cases until they were con cluded, and-I have done little If any other business. My firm has still con tinued as counsel for these roads and both my firm and myself are taking all the legitimate business we can get. ' . "I have no apology to make to the American people for appearing for any corporation or individual. I ' have never advised the organization -of any corporation or the operation of any corporation under the Sherman law. I wish to make this statement;as broad as possible." .

BELL SOUGHT POSTLER CHARGE Woman Brought to Office in Hanlon's Auto and Asked to Sign ATTORNEY WILL AID HER TO COLLECT INSURANCE He Admits Sending for Widow and Having Papers All Ready Prepared ,■■-. . LAWYER TRIES TO INDUCE JUDGE TO REVERSE HIMSELF IN the game of battledore. and shuttlecock being played in the police commission, with Chief Seymour and Near Chief White as projectiles—a game in which yes terday's developments left White in his temporary position of vantage— a significant feature is the manner in which Mrs. Anna Postler was induced to bring charges against Seymour. Hurried late. Monday afternoon from her store in the Mission to the office of Charles F. Hanlon, attorney for the police commission, in Han lon's automobile, she was apprised of the intention of Hanlon and.Theodore A. Bell, who are associated in the legal business of the commission, and was asked to sign the charges which Bell had already drawn up. She was 1 then taken back to the Mission in the automobile, after being cautioned to maintain- secrecy concerning the whole proceeding. Conflicting Stories -•* . Her anxiety to obey ; these instruc tions -was evident when she was seen yesterday. at her home, 14 Vicksburg street. She said that her lawyer had told her to say nothing, and when asked for the name of the attorney, gave that of F. J. Castelhun.. She also declared that she had caused the charges to be drawn up in his office In - the 'Investors* building at Fourth and Market streets and that he had known of her Intention for a long time, but had advised her to wait until the proper moment. ' When asked later about the 'matter, Castelhun'said:. * ' " "I have attended to Mrs. Postler's legal business for a long time but I never heard her speak of filing charges against Chief. Seymour. I don't believe she ever dreamed of doing it until yes terday, and she did not consult me. I' knew nothing about, It until she told me. this morning. I did not Instruct her not to talk about it." '. ■ . . Business Manager Talks When the automobile sent by Hanlon arrived at Mrs. Postler's little paint shop, 3247 Nineteenth street, she In sisted upon taking Andrew. P. Jensen, her business manager, along with her to the , Phelan building. - Jensen evi detly had not been told to suppress the. the matter, or else disregarded the order, for when asked about it he said: 'Hanlon and Bell sent the automo bile; out for Mrs. Postler, and I -went down with her. We went to Hanlon's office,' and It was there that she signed the papers. She never said anything to me about bringing any charges against Seymour." Later, in talking of Mrs. Postler's efforts to collect on two insurance poli cies held by her late husband, he said: 'The Woodmen of the World and an other Insurance company have been contending that they should not pay Postler's insurance In full, as they say he committed suicide. It looks now as If she may get the money, because Bell has promised to help her. He told her that In Hanlon's offlce yesterday afternoon." Admit Sending for Her Attorneys Bell and Hanlon admitted sending for the woman Monday after noon, after Judge Seawell's decision had, quashed : the . charges preferred by Captain O'Day, but declared that. she had voluntarily signed' the papers and was even anxious to do 7;so "after the matter had been put to her," In Bell's words.. They enjoined secrecy, because, as Bell said, It > was their right to do so, : since they are ' now her 1 attorneys. i He continued: '"■When O'Dcy first-filed the charges i against Seymour, I went out to the j Mission to see Mrs. Postler and verify j ODays statement., I sat around for an j hour, playing with the children until she came in. She told me her story and I. took it down in writing, so that. I was able to draw up the charges be- j fore sending for her. -' "At the time we did not need hen ex cept ; that we had Intended; to put her on the stand to testify against Seymour.
