Chamberlain Is in Line,

Washington, Jan. 4,-The death OF
Senator Davis, of Arkansas, probably
means that Senator Chamberlain will
become chairman of the public lands
committee when the Democrats re-or-
ganize the next senate. With Senator
Davis gone, Senator Newlands alone
outranks Senator Chamberlain on this
committee and it is now generally be.
lieved that Newlands will take the
cliairmanship of the interstate COM
merce committee, for which he is in
line, relinquishing his claim on pub
lie lands.
This will give Senator Chamberlain
a clear field and he probably will take
this Craftsmanship in preference tc
others to which he may be eligible
notably military affairs, agricultural
or irrigation.

FLOWS
IN STRIKE
RIOTS

BUFFALO,, April 10. - (By

hundred street car strikers here
while strike sympathizers were
stoning a car in front of the police
station ON Main street. Several
shots were fired but no one was
seriously injured. Troops with
fixed bayonets failed to stop the
strikers yesterday. Once during
the afternoon the troops used
their rifles and three persons
were injured, one of whom may
die.
Terms of arbitration are said
to have been laid before officials
of the striking carmen at a con-
ference held last evening with
Mayor Fuhrman. 1t is UNDER
stood the company is willing to
reinstate all strikers and submit
to their demands to arbitration
but will not recognize the union.
More troops may be ordered out
by Governor Sulzer.

Look Over
These figures
And Think

William c. Hunt, who came out
here to conduct Tacoma's census
recount has fixed up lot of sta
tistics on Washington population.
He finds that there are 233, ,822
dwellings in the state and 245, ,602
families to occupy them. That Is
1865 families occupy every 100
houses.
Evidently Washington girls are
not the kind that tell the boys
they will be Sisters to 'em. -
For while 4S per cent of the ma
tive born men are married Ga per
cent of the females are dwelling
in conubial bliss as it were. Other
lationalities are even worse. Take
Japs, while 25.5 of the males are
married sos of the females are
welded.
One thing Hunt shows lis that
we are not so ignorant as we
were.
In 1900 there were 8 A per cent
of illiterates in the state while
there are only 2 per cent now.
And this would not be so high but
for the Indians, who show up As
per cent illiterates.

lain 1910 North Adams street.
The boy disappeared yester-

for the missing youth.
Today the police have been
ordered to watch the water
front closely, hoping that some
clue may be obtained there, as
Elmer, according to his folks,

often told that it was his desire
to become a sailor some day.

PULL HANDS
Of BOY FOR
POSSESSION

Legal proceedings may be in-
stituted within short time by
Mrs. Selma Sutter, divorced wife
of Walter Sutter, to obtain the
custody of her 4-year-Old child,
whom she attempted to take by
force from the present Mrs. SUIT
ter, at $3.50 o'clock last evening
at Ninth and @ streets.
Mrs. Kate Sutter, stepmother of
the child, left her apartments i'm
the BOstwick hotel early last
evening and had only gone a
short distance when the mother
of the child stepped from i'm back
of them and took the boys hand.
"I'll take Henry with me to-
night" she said as she attempted
to pull the child away from his
stepmother.
"You cannot have him." shout
ed the stepmother, taking a new
hold on the child's hand. "He
is mine now and you cannot have
him until the court says So"
Both women attempted to take
the child, each holding to "a
hand and pulling in different di-
rections. The child began to
cry, and mingled with the shouts
of the two women attracted a
large crowd of curious bystand-
ers.
No one intervened until Ser
geant Dymant elbowed his way
through the crowd and took the
two women and the child to the
station.
At the police headquarters,
Captain of Police John Forbes
ordered the child turned over to
it's father, Walter Sutter. The
four-year-old boy was taken to
the home of his stepmother, who
still has possession of him.
According to witnesses, it is
said that Mrs. Selma Sutter,
mother of the child, threatened
the life of both the stepmother
and the father of the child.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutter were mar
ried in May, 1907, and were di-
vorced by Judge Clifford on Sep
tember Is, 1910. At the time of
the divorce Mrs. Sutter was
given the custody of the child,
but later the court turned the
baby over to it's father. The
court record declares that the
mother did not care for the child
properly. Mr.. Sutter was mar
ried again about IA months ago
Until that time the child was
cared for by its grandmother.
According to Mr.. Sutter, ever
since his divorce he has asked
the mother 60 come and visit the
child, and she has continually re-
fused. Last night was the first
time Mrs. Sutter had even recog-
nized her offspring, although she
had passed him on the streets
with his stepmether many times
Mr.. Sutter declared.
Mrs. Selma Sutter resides with
her parents on G street.

Municipal ownership of the
street railway line on the tide
flats is squarely up to the people.
The attempt to get the city
commission sidetracaed onto a
deal with the Stone-Webster COM
pany flattened out yesterday aft
ernoon.
COMMISSIONS Freeland stood
pat all the way for a municipal
line built and operated for the
people as a starter for the COM
plete municipal street railway sys-
tenn in a few years.
Lawson and Mills thought no
dickering should be done with the
T. r. & p. company until after
the people have chance to vote.
Woods and Seymour were for
the Stone-Webster line across the
bridge.
The mayor and Woods thought
now the proper time to do lit
tie juricious trading with the
Stone Webster people. They
thought the company would be
eager now to give the city good
deal. If the people voted against
the municipal street railway line
then the mayor declared the COM
pany was likely to try to drive
a hard bargain with the city.
Mills and Lawson went on the
theory that now was no time to
begin horse trading after the
council had put the municipal
line up to the people. If the peo-
pie turn down municipal owner
ship and show they still want to
give franchises to the Stone-Web-
ster company then they were Will
ing to dicker with the company.
Freeland is for straight out mu-
nicipal ownership to let the peo-
pie get control of the whole street
railway system in few years.
With such divergence of opin-
ion 1t was useless for the council
to try to get action so the matter
will be dropped and it is now up
to the voters.

SAN FRANCISCO, April TO-
When Lucky" Baldwin, million
aire, owner of world famous race
horses, and western pioneer, died
a few years ago he left an estate
valued at $4,000, 900. 1t was
supposed that those who split this
huge fortune would be happy in
the possession of money enough
to realize their every wish. But
tho Baldwin millions have brought
nothing but law suits and unhap-
piness.
The latest happening in the
long list of unhappiness OCCASION
edf by the millions of the dead
turfman Is the coming divorce of
Mrs. Hull McClaughry, daughter
of Baldwin.
The Baldwin millions accom-
plished the wreck of the Nc
Claughry home.
The McClaughrys We're happy
until they came into possession
of the $6,O0O,0OO heritage from
the Baldwin estate. Then the
trouble began. McClaughry was
secretary to the postmaster at San
Francisco when he woed and won
the daughter of the famous gamb-
ler. The match appeared to be
ideal and the couple lived happily
together. McClaughry was said
to be Baldwin's fayorite son-in-
law. Then Baldwin died. Soon
afterwards rumors of trouble be-
gan to circulate. The husband
was appointed manager of his
wfe's estate and opened an office
in Los Angeles. Mrs. McClaugh-
ry did not spend much time with
her husband and there were many
disagreements over the manage
ment of her fortune. Finally
there came an open breach, fol-
lowed by a separation.
Now the final scene in this lat
est act in the drama of the Bald
win millions will be heard in a
San Francisco divorce court.
The body of the dead gambler
had hardly been buried before
trouble began. Anita Boldwin
Turnbull, II years old, appeared
on the scene and instituted suit
for a share of the estate, claim
ing to be the daughter of LUCKY"
