CHAMBERS ON THE
SAMOAN ISLANDS
Chief Justice in Washington to
Submit His Report.
HE HAS NOT RESIGNED
Thinks Well of Work Done by the Com
mission and Believes Its Plan Ad-
vantageous = T he Trouble
With Consul Rose.

Washington, September 4.-Chief Justice
Chambers of Samoa is here to confer with
ofhcials and submit his report to the three
powers represented at Samoa While avoid
Ing a discussion of the pending diplomatic
questions, Judge Chambers, when seen to-
day, spoke in an interesting manner on
some of the general conditions in Samoa,
and also cleared up some misrepresentation
as to his own status and plans
Notwithstanding reports of his resigna-
ton, Judge Chambers states that he has
not resigned, but on the contrary he still
holds the position of CHER justice of Sa-
moa. In this position, moreover, he is sus-
tanned by the state department, which is
acting on the theory that he is in full pos
session of the office, although temporarily
absent. He also pointed out that it has
been frequently stated that he comes to
Washington to report to the state depart
ment whereas he was chosen chief justice
by all three governments-the United
States, Great Britain and Germany-and
his reports are made in triplicate to all
of them. 1t was this, he was inclined to
think, which led to some exception being
taken by one of the signatory powers, as
some of the criticisms which he found nee
essary to express as to the course of an
official of that government were furnished
to 1t, as well to the United States. In
that way the United States and Great
Britain and Germany have been at all
times informed of everything that Judge
Chambers has reported to the United
States, and in some instances this frank
ness of intercourse has led to differences.
AS to the troubles in Samoa between
him and Consul General Rose, Judge
Chambers will not speak for the present,
but intimates that they will be quite fully
covered in his report to the three govern
ments. The report will be sent direct to
Lord Salisbury and Prince Hohenlohe, as
well as to Secretary Hay. Speaking of
American interests in Samoa, Judge
Chambers said:
1--WE have a magnificent harbor at Page,
and from the magnitude of improvement
which the government is making it may
be inferred We intend to stay there. The
second largest coal warehouse In the world
is under construction at a cost of about
500 ,0OO'
Judge Chambers thinks we'll of the work
done by the Samoan commission, and be-
Eeves their plan for governing the islands
will prove advantageous. Judge Chambers
will be here for some days, expecting to
meet Judge Trip the United States conf
missioner to Samoa, to confer with the
state department officials.

rant for the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs ohm
Cantrell, charging them with the abdIc-
tion 1t seems that the father became sus-
picious of the Cantrells, and went to their
home to ascertain if his boy there.
Smith says that they saw him coming. and
forced the boy to leave the house by
rear door to keep him from seeing his son.
Mr.. Smith went on to the house and asked
that the boy be given to him. Cantreh
proposed to give Ebert up If Smith would
whip him soundly. To this the father re-
piled that the boy belonged to him, ard
that he would do as he liked with him.
1t is said that Cantrell then threatened
to cut the boy to pieces unless his terms
were agreed to. The boy was present at
the conversation, and acknowledged. = that
the Cantrells had abducted him. Smith
seems satisfied of the Cantrells' guilt.

EBERT SMITH
FOUND BY HIS FATHER
The Missing Boy Discovered at the Home
of John Cartrell at BIount
Crossing.

Elmer Smith, the little son of Dan w.
Smith, was found at the home of relatives,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Contrell, yesterday at
Blount Crossing, a small village situated
not far from Pratt Mines. The circum-
stances surrounding the case point to the
fact that the boy was enticed away from
home. His father is an umbrella maker,
his place of business being in a small tent
near West End. Last Tuesday afternoon
the boy was sent by his father to carry an
umbrella that had been repaired back to its
owner. He told his father that he would
not be gone over two hours, but that was
the last seen of him and Mr. Smith had
about given up hope of his being found.
The father advanced several probable
causes of his sons disappearance, one be-
ing that he had been lured away and foully
dealt with by negro merchant with whom
he had had some words.
Yesterday Mr.. Smith swore out war

Mr. Howells has lately spoken of Rud-

the world today. 1t would indeed be diff
ficult to suggest a man whose name is
more widely known. The following story
is a curious commentary on the value of
fame
During Kipling's Illness enry James,
the American author, was one night driv-
ing home in cab from his club In Lon
don. The news had just come that the
crisis was past and the great writer on the
road to recovery. AS he stepped out on
the sidewalk Mr.. James handed the paper
he had bought to the cabman.
"Kiplng's all right" he said.
