NEGLECTED BY FATHER.
Two Children OF Tender Age in Need
Of Assistance

Local police officers unfolded 10 The
News this morning a tale OF child ne
glect on the part of father, which f.
almost unbelievable. The man is a
Finn. Andrew Kruka, and Is working
on the Koskela farm, near Bear Lake.
He has two children residing az the
Kruka home at Albion. both girls. god
IL and 3, respectively. who arr said
TO be without the common necessities
of life. Living in the same home are
two boarders, who pay the children 81
per month for a room. The childrens
mother is dead. and a stepmother, it is
said, refuses to live at the home.
The children are practically without
any bedding, and are sleeping on the
floor They failed to attend school for
a time, and the truant officer was sent
to investigate. II was through this
investigation that the facts became
known. s'rEi "
Special officer August Beck and
Marshal Trudell have both visited the
children at their home, and are aware
OF the circumstances under which they
are living. The father came to town
last Saturday evening, 1t is alleged by
the officers, and gave his children a
quarter and some bread. The rest of
his money he must have spent I'm drink,
as he was found drunk on Saturday
and also Sunday evening of last week.
The officers state it is next to impos-
sible to do anything with him. and itI
is probable a warrant will be sworn
out charging him with neglecting his
children. There is a possibility the
children may be sent TO Good VIII
Farm, where they viii be properly
treated and cared for.

Surprise in Washinuton.

Washington, ID. c., Sept 3O.-The
declaration of war by Italy upon Tur-
key coming as it did with practically
no notice. created a great sensation
i'm official Washington. The state de-
partment had felt reasonably conf
ldent that other signatores TO the Bal
kan treaty, which fixed the status of
Turkey, would be able To bring COM
blned pressure to bear upon Italy to
divert her from her purpose to seize
Tripoli. The only conclusion that
could be drawn from the develop
ments of the past twenty-four hours
was that what has happened is only a
natural sequence of the FTanco-Ger-
man Morocco negotiations and that all
along 1t has been understood tacitly
that Italy would be given free hand
to deal with Tripoli in return for re-
framing from intervening I'm the Mo-
roccan dispute, although her interests
I'm the country of the Moors are quite
as important as those of any OF the
nations of northern Europe.
Indications are that America will
keep clear of the present struggle for
domination i'm Africa, if that be possi-
BILE.

department received an appeal from
