Two Girls Prefer Board OF Guardi-
ans to Their Father.

Justice Collins, this morning, dismissed
the application for writ of habeas corpus
applied for by Lawyer John B. Walsh,
on behalf of Vincent Hill, of New
Providence, N. j., to secure the
custody of his two children, Emily and
Ada Hill, respectively Is and II years old
Lawyer Walsh argued that the girls when
committed by the Poormaster of New
Providence, were not legally the wards
of that township, and therefore their
committal to the custody of the State
Board of Children's Guarians, was not
legal.
Counsellor Bernan, on behalf of the
State Board, informed the Court that the
girls did not care to return to their father
and that in such matters the happiness
of the children was the first considera-
ton. He charged that the father was an
improper person to take care of the chill
dren and requested the Court to examine
them. Justice Collins after questioning
the girls in the presence of their father
and in his private chambers, concluded to
dismiss the writ because the children
preferred to remain with the society. He
also granted permission to the father to
see the children from time to time under
proper restrictions.

Fred Butz, brother-in-law, of Leonard
Spitznagel, proprietor of Spitznagers Hall,

interested in Matching chickens by means

FOR YOUNG MEMS CLUB
WoMAN'S CLUB DETERMINED
TO SUCCEED.
Merchants Will Be Asked to Con.
tribute Small Amount to the
Project Each Month.

At a meeting OF TIE womans Club
yesterday the proposed Boys Assembly
was discussed and the members OF the
committee appointed to solicit funds
made It's report Owing 10 the fact
thar three OF the six members OF the
committee were unable to solicit con-
Tibutions since their appointment no
definite plans were adopted and a more
complete report will be made at the
rext meeting.
The members Of the club wish cor
rected an erroneous impression that has
gone abroad concerning the object Of
Ire proposed club for boys and young
men. II WIN not be a gymnasium prl-
narily as many have been led 10 be-
lisVe but the first object will be TO
proVld' reading room and assembly
Where the young men can spend their
evenings surrounded by wholesome in
nuences. Books, magazines and period
icals VIII be provided and also games
ana social diversion Of the harmless
sort. Ultimately gymnasium will be
equipped II the necessary funds can be
secured But the first point the MEM
Ders Of the WOmans Club are desirous
OF obtaining Is 10 establish a place
whrre young men and boys who desire
to improve their minds and remain out
Of saloons and other haunts OF dissipa-
ton and vice may meet.
The amount the club wants to raise
is small considering the worthiness Of
the use to be made Of Il. Fifty citizens
pledging one dollar a month will guar
antee expenses for the modest begin
ming planned. The sum is not only
small but being payable once month
will not be missed. Several teachers
In the public schools have slgnifed
their willingness to hold night classes
for instruction in the elementary stu
dies. Particular attention will be CIV
en- 10 this branch Of the work, for
which there exists great necessity. In
the larger cities night schools are
maintained by the municipality and the
course Of study is as extensive as in
the day sessions. The members OF the
soliciting committee are Mesdames
Lewis, Gearhart- Mayo, Stewart, Estes,
Berry and Greenough, TO any Of whom
Dledges may be sent or to any other
members OF the WOman's Club.

Portland Wants Fish warden's Office
to Remain There.

The following is from the Telegram Of
yesterday:
General regret is experienced In this
city over the alleged determination Of
Master Fish Warden II. c. Van Dusen
to make his headquarters at Astoria.
While Astoria Is the home Of Mr.. Van
Dusen. and the enter Of great fishing
and canning activity during the open
seasons. the interests OF the fishing In
dustfy of the Upper Columbia, VILLAIN
ette. Clackamas and southern coast
streams require that Mr.. Van Dusen's
Office be located in Portland, 1t Is ar
gued. Portland, by reason OF her trans
aortations facilities, is better situated
fdf the location Of the FISH warden
oHice than any other city In the state,
For this reason, 1t is contended, the Of
fee should not be removed from Port
land.
Even for his own convenience, it is
believed that Mr.. Van Dusen win find
1t mora to his advantage to make his
base Of operations in Portland, and II is
hoped that he viii yet reconsider his
intention Of remaining in Astoria, as
indicated by the dispatches from Sa-
lem"
Mr.. Van Dusen's candidacy was en-
dorscd by local commercial bodies, mer-
chants and representatives of the fish
ing industry with the understanding
that the office was to be in Astoria
As the master warden has himself in
dicatAd that such were his intentions
the invitation of the Telegram is de-
clined, with thanks.
