Special Dispatch to The can.

TACOMA. Wash. Dec. 12.-ThTee-
year-old Lucille McQuarry was taken
from her foster-mother, Mrs. A. L. Tur-
ner. by Sheriff Layton at Pendleton
last night, on a complaint filed by the
neighbors that the child was being ter
ribly abused.
When taken to the home of Walter
Wells the little girls fingers were
found to have been bitten through the
flesh to the bone and her finger nails
of one hand had been pulled out. Her
body was a mass of bruises and tooth
prints.
The mistreatment is said to have
been going on for three weeks. Mrs.
Turner adopted the child three months
ago Mrs. Gertrude McQuarry, wild
ow and mother of the child. formerly
lived in Milton, but moved to Pendle-
ton last spring with two children, both

Mrs. Turner fought for possession of
the child. and her screams were heard
for blocks. AfterNthe girl was taken
from her she gathered all the little
ones clothes and, piling them in a
heap on the floor. set fire TO them.
Neighbors saved the house from de-
struction. Mrs. Turner lost her chill
dren two years ago in a fire. She es-
capped by jumping from a second story
window and was crippled.

LONDON. Dec. 12.-The fact that
King Edward gets through with so
much work and yet retains unimpaired
his elasticity and vigor has been a
source OF wonder for long time. even
to members Of the medical profession.
The explanation of the mystery is Of
fered at last.
For a month past the King is said
to have been taking electric light baths.
The scientific rejuvenators are installed
in Windsor Castle and in Buckingham
Palace. They are both of the double
light variety, with a protector of 25oo
candle-power for use upon local affec-
tions of the body Inside the bath. in

which radiate any coIored light de-
sired. The light not only permeates
every part of the body but has a sort
of Turkish bath effect The lights are
of colors which, scientists say have
curative effects on certain ailments.
The King was present at the Isling-
ton cattle show this week and many
were the comments on his well being.
He was one Of the keenest spectators
and moved about the pens with an ac-
tivity that would have done credit to
a man of half his age.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 12.-With her
mind blank and raving constantly of
unknown terrors, a young Sister of
Mercy, whose name is not disclosed by
her friends, lies in st. Johns Orphans
Asylum, near Wheeling, w. Va, the
victim of an attack by three negroes,
all of whom are now in custody Al
though the crime was committed on
the night of October 21, all mention of
it has been carefully suppressed until
to-day, when Chief of Police John S.
Ritz of Wheeling stopped here for a
short time On his way back from Co
lumbia, Va, carrying with him Thomas
Easton, alleged to be the third of the
trio, the others having been arrested
soon after the crime in Wheeling.

building while the others attend ves-
pers in the evening at 1880 O'Clock

Chief Ritz says he has no idea that
there will be a lynching-that the peo-
pie of Wheeling will be satisfied to al

gro arrested in Columbia denies any
knowledge of the crime charged against
him. and processes willingness to ac-
company his captor. With the mind of

EFFRONTERY OF PETER
SHOCKS THE MINISTER'S
Refusal of Servian King to Punish
Regicides Causes Breaking of
DipIomatfc Relations.

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-The reason Ger
many has decided to break off diplo-
matte relations with the Servian court.
for the present at least, is that the So
ciaI season is about to begin in Bel
grade and King Peter has issued in
vitations to balls, official entertain
ments and other festivities, as usual
at all European capitals. 1t is stated
that the Ministers accredited to Bel
grade have never ceased earnestly. to
advise King Peter to dissociate himself
from the murderers of his predeces-
sor and the latter's wife and to de-
mand their punishment The Servian
King disregards this advice and has
not even answered the notes.
Affairs reached a crisis when 1t was
evident that King Peter intended to
invite the regicide Ministers, shake
hands with them and dance with their
wives. Germany, accordingly. decided
that it was time for her Minister to
take a leave of absence.

LEAVENWORTH, Kans.. Dec. y.
General ]. Frank Bell. commander at
Fort Leavenworth. has received a
message calling him to Washington.
He started for the East to-day. Some
of the local officers believe that Gen
eral Bell is to be called into confer
ence on the Panama situation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The COM
ing of General Bell to Washington,
while it has more or less to do with
affairs connected with the General
staff College, is admitted tonight by
officers of the general staff to be for
the purpose of consulting with the
officials regarding a probable cam
paign against Colombia, should that
country continue the movement OF
troops toward the isthmus. 1t was
intimated that affairs had reached the
point where United States troops
might be moved at any time, which
would seem to indicate that the de-
partment is in possession of informa-
ton the nature of which justifies ac-
tual preparations for the movement
of United States troops toward Pan
anna.
Although the fact would not be dis
closed, the presumption is that, in the
event of troops being sent, General
Bell will be put in command.
NAMES MINISTER TO PANAMA.
The President to-day sent to the Sen
ate the nomination of William l. Bu
chanan of New York to be Envoy Ex.
traordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to Panama. Buchanan's selection
was brought about by a desire on the
part of the President to secure, tempo
rarily at least, and during the crystal
lization of the relations between the
United States and Panama, the services
of a trained and experienced diplomat
ic representative, having special refer
ence to his knowledge of the Latin
American races. By reason of long
service as United States Minister to
the Argentine republic, Buchanan fills
that description in the estimation of
the State Department. 1t is under
stood that his assumption of duties is
not to be permanent, for he sacrificed
large interests to undertake the work.
Buchanan was director general of the
PanAmerican Exposition at Buffalo.
GOES AS SPECIAL ENVOY.
Regarding it as very desirable that
the new Minister shall be at his post
at an early moment, the State Depart
ment has adopted the unusual course
of making out for him special COM
mission, independent of the nomination
in regular form to-day submitted. This
commission designates Buchanan as
Envoy Extraordinary on a special mis-
sion. Under it's powers he will be able
to perform all the duties of a regular
Minister, and more If need be. He will
hold this commission until such time
as the United States Senate shall have
confirmed his regular nomination as
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy
Extraordinary to Panama. Thus
armed, Buchanan will take the first
steamer from New York for Panama,
sailing next Tuesday.

ATTITUDE
New York Editor Now
an Opponent OF
Roosevelt.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G STREET. ".
w, WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Wash-
ington politicians are puzzled over the
New York Herald's sudden change OF
editorial policy. A few months ago
there appeared regularly at the head
of it's editorial page:
For President, Theodore Roosevelt
Of New York. For Vice President.
George Dewey OF Vermont"
This mornings issue contains the fol-
lowing paragraph in italics. printed in
many different parts or the paper:
"An accidental President has never
been elected President of the United
States. VIII Mr.. Roosevelt prove an
exception to the rule, and will he be
nominated by the Republican party?"
Some Of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends al
legged that the Herald's change OF at
titude toward the President was
caused by the failure of the admins
tratfon to espouse the Herald's scheme
for Joint British-American naval
maneuvers. The Herald has lately, in
its editorial and news columns, ad-
vocated these joint maneuvers and the
emphasis and persistency with which
this project was supported in cable
dispatches from Paris created the be-
lief that James Gordon Bennett him
self was especially interested in the
proposed maneuvers. Last week
President Roosevelt vetoed the prop
OSitiOn.
1t is not believed, however, by those
who know Mr.. Bennett intimately that
this caused his change Of attitude
toward the administration, for the
Herald has always been independent
in its policy and even in this mornings
issue the Herald publishes dispatches
from all parts Of the country. showing

with propriety or legality based upon
other than direct and formal charges OF
ineompetency or misconduct. The Sig
nificant teaching of the incident is that
the union cannot secure the dtsmlssal OF
a. worker by merely dropping him from
its ranks. To permit that would be Tor
the executive chief of the bureau to rele-
gate to the union his prerogative of selec-
ton, to constitute board OF employ
ment, to be- the final court for the trial
of charges. There is a very grave d1f-
ference between the two methods OF pro-
curing a mans severance from pupilc
service. The president stands for the
right of the employing chief OF the ONCE
to choose his subordinates strictly on their
merits, without the aid or advice or IN
tervention of employees. The dismissal OF
Miller at the behest of the union because
of his expulsion from it was In direct
opposition to this principle. One OF. the
officers Of the union, in an interview,
states that the public printer did not
know our reasons for expelling Miller
adding that if he had known them he
would have been more justified in dis
missing him. This is the essence of the
controversy. The union sits In camera as
q secret conclave and tries member.
From it's decision to expel there is nc
appeal, and that decision must, it is
claimed, be accepted by the chief of the
office, tho no reasons are given to him
for the action. The reasons which cause
a mans expulsion from the union may
it is easy to imagine, compel his dis
missal from public service. But such dis
missal must follow on demonstration OF
the existence of these reasons, and cannot
be based solely upon the tact Of expulsion
from the union"
Public comment on the action OF the
binders union in the Miller case has been
in general along the line of the Star edl-
torial. 1t is evident that if the presluen'
wants Miller to go to work again, the
forthcoming investigation of the binders
charges having failed to convict him. there
win be a painful lack of public sentiment
over the country to side with the loca
union. Millers chief weakness is his In
ability to curb his tongue. He seems tt
be deficient In tact and to lack many o.
those qualities necessary to q successful
manager of men. AT least that much may
be said about the case without going Int

-s> WILL WATCH AND WALT
This Story OF Japan's Intentions Is Very

London, July 24.-Japan has decided to
observe the policy of waiting and watch
ing Russia, advoca ted by Great Britain.
In the meantime she will urge China to
carry out the assurance given to the
United, States respecting Manchuria and
will endeavor to obtain the opening of
ports.
AT the Japanese legation here the fol-
lowing statement was made by an official
to the Associated Press:
Il can assure you that the talk of war
between Russia and Japan is an inver-
ton. Japan has not the least intention
of taking that course. 1t proposes to
wait and maintain it's attitude of watch
fulness. Japan and America are acting
on the same lines, and it would be diff
cult for any other power to Withstand the
pressure they and Great Britain could
|apply.'
It is said that Japan intends to do moth
ing until October, when the final evacua-
ton of Manchuria must occur The fail
ure OF, Russia to withdraw from Manchu-
ria would be followed by move on the
part of Japan The Russian embassy here
regrets the confusion which has arisen
in consequence Of the publication Of the
report that Prince Ching, head of the
Chinese foreign office, had written to
Minister Conger refusing to open ports
in Manchuria. The Russian officials be-
| lieve that the note awas sent before China
gave her assurances, and they asserted
positively that Russia, intends to carry
out to the letter the assurances she has
| given, and that she will not interpose
obstacles in the way Of China observing
her pledge to Secretary Hay.
