Wilder Trouble in the Court
Today.
MOTHER WANTS TO KEEP LITTLE GIRL
Makes Determined Resistance to De
feat Attempts to Separate Her
From Child.

The question as to who is the proper
person to have the custody of Anice
Wilder, the three-year-old child OF
Wallace B. Wilder and Arminda B.
Wilder, was taken up in the superior
court this afternoon, when the defend
ants in the writ of habeas corpus pro-
ceedngs instituted several weeks ago,
made return to the writ and filed an
answer to the petition.
In her answer to the petition the de-
PENDANT set out that she is now work
ing for Francis Lowden and is receiv-
ing ample remuneration for the SER
vices rendered as to be in a position to
support herself and her child. She al
leges that her parents are also finan-
cially able to assist her in the support
of the child in question. She claims
that the parents of her former huS
band, to whom the child was awarded
by the courts of Umatilla county, are
old and decrepit and are not in tinan-
cial condition as to properly care for
the little girl. She further set out
that Wallace Wilder, the father of the
child, resides with his parents and
frequently INDUCES in intoxicating
liquor to such an extent that he often
becomes drunk. That while in this
condition he would not be the proper
person for the child to associate with
The attorneys took the argument of
the case as soon as court was opened
this afternoon and the proceedings
were still in progress at a late hour
this afternoon.

Chinese Cause, Anxiety.
Reports that the Chinese are max
ing preparations to occupy conquered
territory are creating some uneasiness,
for China has been all along an I'M
certain quantity from which any de-
seiopm ent or complication might be
expected. No one knows precisely
what pressure, racial or political, ia
pan maybe able to pring to bear upon
the great, silent empire.
The logical belief always has been
that China would endeavor to the ut
most to refrain from taking side in the
present conflict, in order that she
might be in position to make the
best terms possible with the ultimate
Tictor, but it's realized that con-
nnued japanese advance into the heart
OF Manchuria might exert powerful
influence upon both the Chinese peas
antry and the nearby, all-controlled
regular troops, which the weak cen
5IaI government at Picking might find
II difficult to curb, thereby precipitat-
ing serious complications upon the
sceneSof actual hostilities.
