Waterman Guarding Public
From Burned Walls
A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE
PROPS HAVE BEEN PLACED BUT
1T is SAID THAT THE WALLS
WILL PROBABLY STAND-FIRE
CAUSES SHIFT IN CITY HALL
OFFICES.

At the orders of Building Inspector
Anders a Waterman has been placed
to guard the public from possible dan
ger of falling walls in the ruins of the
commercial club block on Broadway.
The Waterman will be kept there night
and day until it is proved that the
walls are safe.
This is simply precautionary
measure to safeguard the public and
1t is not believed that the walls are
in immediate danger of falling. Props
have been placed against the walls
from the Broadway side as an addi-
tional safeguard.
No steps have been taken toward
rebuilding and nothing definite can
be given out as to the kind Of a struc-
ture that will go up on the ruins.
AS a result of the fire there has been
some shifting about In the offices at
the city hall, as Mayor Lowell has had
to move in today. The coming in Of
the mayor caused the removal Of
Judge Miller from the Office Mr.. Lowell
will occupy to the offices of the police
magistrate adjoining the police court
rooms in the basement Of the building.
All were busy in the municipal building
this afternoon making the change. The
mayor is almost settled, while Judge
Miller hopes to be by next Tuesday.
Since his election last spring, Mayor
Lowell has not occupied the office which
properly belonged to him and set aside
for the mayors occupancy. He con-
tinued in his old Offices above the
Fargo National bank, which were swept
by fire early yesterday morning while
he was absent from the city.

BRUTAL MURDER a WEIRD TANQLE OF

white wife of a Japanese philoso-
pher and poet, Takeshi Kano, and
ward 0f Joaquin Miller, poet of
the Sierras and other japanese as
we'll.
Mrs. Starbuck denied the charge
that she was interested in a plan
to establish a japanese Utopia on
her ranch. She denied that she
was interested in a plan to estab-
lish a new religion which would
emil brace a combination of Shinto-
ism and Buddhism, little Chris
tianity, some Greek mythology
and a flavoring of other rites and
cults known to the ancients.
But the story would not down.
Despite Mrs. Starbuck's denial,
she continued to be the center
around which the case revolved.
In the meantime the search on
the murder" ranch had contin-
|ued. Here and there remains of
the Inflated family were found.
Under a large rock in a ravfne
near the house, the upper jaw of
a man was discovered, half buried
in the earth. Little bits of paper
and clothing were unearthed, all
bearing blood stains. The further
the search proceeded the more hor-
rible became the crime.
Mixed in with the tragedy of the
Cazadero ranch is a startling socio-
logical problem. In the murder of
the Kendalls there developed a
new phase of the peril there
lies in the increasing intercourse
between the Japanese populations
and Americans. This alone would
suffice to lift the crime out of the
realm of criminology and invest it
with the dignity of a sociological
problem, bewildering in it's posi-
bilities.

he go to the capital with more
