The mother of the little girl, who

daughter of a famer living near Ber-

The case originated i'm the district
court of this county a little over two
years ago when Judge Hazen handed

to Mrs. F. Culp from her husband,
William Culp, and at the same time

Refrigertating Car Cases win Have
Hearing in the West.

washington, Nov. Although the
members OF the interstate commerce
commission in the absence of
Chairman KnaDD have had no oppor-
tunity for a formal conference with ref
erence to yesterdays refusal of George
Robbins, president of the Armour car
the commissions investigation of the
practices of the various refrigerating
companies, the opinion seems to prevail
that the attorneys for the Armour COM
pany will not be accommodated to the
extent of having their client hauled into
court for contempt in an endeavor to es-
tablish the right OF the commission to
carry on the inquiry in question.
To proceed along this line now, the
commissioners argue, would halt the in
vestigation and bring the naked ques-
ton of Jurisdiction before the court, to
the detriment OF the public interests
concerned. 1t would be better, they be-
lieve, to carry the investigation to its
conclusion, even without the testimony
of Mr.. Robbins. and then after an order
| in the premises by the commission, have
the courts adiudicate all the questions
involved. This would not bar the Ar
mour representatives from raising the
question oe jurisdiction at the proper
time.
The case will continue with the taking
of dispositions in California on Nov. 10.
Subsequently written statements win be
received from certain witnesses bearing
on the cost of refrigeration. Later the
commission will resume public hearings
at the offices here.

ty and moved to California. taking
with her the pretty little daughter
Villa and the fight for the posses
sion of the little one began at once.
A peculiar feature of the case is that
it is not the father who wishes to get
the child but the grandfather. He
has made a trip half way across the
continent and spent money like water
to get possession of the little girl and
is farther away from the coveted goal
now than ever before. Last Septem-
Der Mr.. Culp and his lawyers made
trip to California to be present at
the trial of the case. The decision
was against them and the opinion
handed down this week is one sustain
ing the lower court.

WILMARTH TELLS HOW.
Rules for Keeping Out of the Way OF
Fire Department.

LAS much as it has been preached into
the people to always turn and drive
to the right they still will persist in
doing the other thing" said Chief G.
O. Wilmarth of the fire department
You don't know how much annoy
ance we are subjected to on account
of this one thing. That, probably more
than any other, causes trouble and
danger to the department. We can
scarcely go out&on a run without en-
countering people who persist In turn
ing to the left when they attempt to
get out Of the way. Others are seized
with a panic when they see US come
down the street. They try to avoid
the wagons and dodge from one side
to another until we are at loss to
know which way they are going. We
have a standing order that the depart
ment wagons must slow up, no matter
how dangerous the fire, il they see
that vshicle Is in danger Of coIlidfng
with US and the horse seemingly un-
managea bic. If women would only
stand right Etil when they are driving
OF turn to the right it would be all
right. Stand still, is the @dvice which
I would give to a wonaTa driver. Don't
loose your head but stand still we can
get by you without running you down
We know then what To &c for we do
not have to guess which way gou are
going to try to turn EcNs

popular legislative body means abso-
luteIy nothing so far as giving them a
real voice in the government.
But I don't believe that the people
will wait until the troops get home.
Revolution is in the air there and
revolution is the only salvation OF the
Russian people. When their dellr1um
of joy over the mere announcement
of liberty is over and they have an
opportunity to study the manifesto
and its accompanying ukases, they viii
see just how little has been granted to
them and then the revolution viii
come.
eff the people over there will just
continue their agitations for three or
four more weeks believe that the
revolution will break out. The time
is ripe for it and it is bound to come
sooner or later.
From letters some of my friends
have received recently from Russia, it
is evident that the railroad and fac
tory strikers are not the only ones re-
SpOnSIbie for the present grave con-
dition of affairs there These letters
state the farmers all over the country
are leaving their farms and going to
the towns and lending their voices and
strength to the efforts to overthrow
the government. These are the class
of people that can not be fooled by
the promises in high sounding words
of the recent manifesto. They have
seen the workings of too many other
manifestos and they are angered now
to such a degree that a revolution is
inevitable. They will be the bone
and sinew of it, and If they only hold
together for a few more weeks and do
not permit themselves to be fooled, the
revolution will be on. 1t will be a
short sharp conflict 1t is my belief
and the time for the people to get
their liberty is now. They don't want
to wait until the troops get home
They want to strike now and believe
they viii.
sI have read the ukase creating a
so-ca1led popular assembly carefully
and you will find that the powers
given the assembly, in shaping the
character of the government do not
amount to a row of pins. And the
people win not be fooled by it for any
length OF time.
when the people of Russia secure
their liberty and a free government,
and this can only come through revo-
luton, that country will soon take it's
place among the foremost nations of
the earth. It's natural resources are
greater than that of any other coun-
try and when the people have a chance
to develop them. the progress that viii
be made there will be wonderful"
