this impressive. beautiful girl, who
might have symbolized Justice, stern
and unrelenting? His shifty glance
wandered furtively to her again and
again; but the purposeful regard Of
her clear. serene eyes never wavered;
they never altered their expression.
At last the fellow could no longer
hide his disQuiet. He dropped heavily
upon a chair, which the officers had
placed for him.
With a sudden, noiseless, catlike
movement, Felix Hazard crossed the
room and bent over the prisoner. His
face. set in hard lines, was thrust
close to the others: his look, cold,
purposeful. menacing. for perhaps a
full minute bored into the wretch.
BY and by Purcell began to tremble
and shift uneasily in his chair.
Then Hazard spoke. His voice was
low, restrained, but vibrant with a
metallic incisiveness and determine

Purcell, you know why you are
here, SO we shant waste words or
time on you. I mean only to tell you
that you have one chance slim
chance; I'm making no promises-but
chance to save yourself from the
rope. Well give you Just five min.

you'll take the consequences"
With startling suddenness Hazard
brought his right fist forcibly down
into the palm of his left hand within
an inch of Purcelrs nose. He raised
his voice to thunderous command.
What have you done with the stun
stolen from Kendals safer"
No answer. Again the purposeful
fist cracked under Purcell's nose. He
terked back his head to avoid 1t. Haz-
ards jaw shot forward and his eyes
were merely two pin-points of light.

Still there was no reply. The pris-

and body weaving this way and that

confronting him. But Hazard ruth.

AUTO TRIP is MADE
OVER MOUNTAIN TRAILS

Last week a Kissel all-year car
driven by Thomas NJ. Ray. success
fully negotiated the mountain trails
from Loveland to Estes park, Colorado,
in "a driving snow storm. The party
reached Loveland from Denver with
out incident and from that point on to
destination. the following account is
given: ..
1--WE left Loveland about o'clock
and then went into the canon and saw
the first snow. 1t was a pretty hard
climb through the drifts up to Estes,
but we got there about 5 o'clock. At
that point a resident tried to talk us
out of continuing the trip.
THE snow began in earnest. We
got out some chains and started again
and met party in another car coming
donw. They had to quit on the hill
THE Kissel never quit, however, and
we finally bucked through the big
snow drifts to the base of Longs peak.
We pushed through drifts all the way
and the folks thought sometimes they
would never get through, but every
time they called on the Kissel she
would come to time"

court ASKED TO
Define RIGHTS OF
CH|LDRENS HOME
Important Legal Question
Involved in Habeas Cor
pus Case Brought in the
Supreme Court.


! The matter of the application of Eva
Martin for a writ of habeas Corpus was
yesterday submitted to the supreme
court on briefs and without argument.
The case Is looked upon as one of the
most important that has been carried
! to the court OF last resort In this state
due to the fact the right OF the Chill
dren's Home Finding & Aid society to
adopt children to foster parents are
involved.
/ The petitioner, Eva Martin, Is the
mother of Esther Lovejoy, a child
three years of age which she alleged in
her petition is unlawfully confined and
! restrained of her liberty by Henry and
Lila Rogers, who reside in Canyon
county and the Children's Home Find
/ ing & Aid society.
! In the spring OF 1915, Eva Martin
and her former husband, Fletcher Love-
! joy, together with their family consist
ing of five minor children, resided in
Pocatello, Bannock county. The petit
ton recited that while they resided
there Fletcher Lovejoy failed and neg
lected" to provide for his family and
was IAN habitual drunkard" but that
the petitioner attempted to provide for
the family by her labor but was unable
| to do so.
! In the latter part of March, 1915,
one w. l.. Hubert, citizen of Poca
tello, filed a petition in the probate
court charging the parents failed to
provide for and had neglected the chill
dren and requesting that the children
be surrendered to the Childrens Home
Finding & Aid society.
A citation was issued a hearing had
and decree Of the court issued di-
recting that the children be placed in
the custody of the home. This decree
4 applied to all of the children except
Ester Later the decree was modified,
removing Ester to the home. Some
time afterwards she was adopted to
Henry and Lila Rogers.
It is charged in the writ and briefs
submitted to sustain the allegation that
the adoption is void and illegal first,
because the probate judge Is alleged
to have been without jurisdiction for
the reason notice was never given the
petitioner that the decree of the court
was to be modified removing Ester
Lovejoy and second, the petitioner new
er consented in writing or otherwise
to the adoption and for the further rea-
son that under the law applicable to
the adoption of children in Idaho, the
Children's Home Finding and Aid So
ciety of Idaho. could not consent and
had no jurisdiction to consent to the
adoption of said Ester Lovejoy."

ON.
Besides establishing remarkable
record for speed and efficiency, the
Maxwell car took on itself the duties
of a courier carrying news of the cleo
ton results to the rural districts of
Michigan.
In bold white letters, the body of
the car carried the announcements that
Prohibition had carried in Michigan
and that Sleeper had been elected
governor Of the state. The uncertainty
in the returns on the presidential cleo
ton made it Impossible to announce
the winner.
All along the countryside and in the
cities and towns through which the
Maxwell Courier passed, there was ire
mendous interest in the returns.

More than so per cent of the road
was in the worst possible shape for
touring. There We're deep ruts,
stretches of sand and long stretches
of fresh gravel. In several places il
was necessary to take long detours be

of these adverse conditions, it is be-

and his Maxwell will endure.
The start was made from Detroit at

WAGE INCREASE FOR
QUARTER MILLION men

New York, Feb. 2.-The United
States Steel corporation has just put
Into effect an advance of 10 per cent
in the wages Of its employees, announc
ed some weeks ago. It is estimated
that the increase will add between
$12,0o0,000 and s15,000,oOO to the cor
poration's annual payroll and that it
will affect about 25O,0OO men, OF this
number approximately 100000 are la
horers whose pay heretofore has been
10 and 20 cents an hour. They here.
after will receive 81 and % cents an
hour.
Many of the independent steel COM
7anies have made corresponding adj
vances in wages. Taking the industry
generally ordinary laborers will re-
ceive $3.50 for ten-hour day. While
"a fiat 10 per cent increase could not
be made to- apply to several classes
of workers in rolling mills, bar mills
and wire drawing plants, where the
men work on a sliding scale of pay de-
pending upon the tonnage produced, it
is understood they will share in the
increase in some form.

GERMAN RAIDER
R0AMS ATLANTIC
Sinks Seven Enemy Ships and
Captures Another.
PRIZE At HAMPTON ROADS.

While the Mysterious Cruiser Re-
mains at Liberty and Avoids Con
tact With Warships Of the Allies
the Latter Face a Serious Menace
to Their Shipping.
Washington, Feb. "A German
raider, loose on the seas, with known
record of seven enemy ships sunk and
another captured, at time when the
German naval flag was believed to
have been swept from the ocean, ex-
aCpt for the submarines, is the most
startling feature that attracts atten-
ton here to the capture of the British
liner Appam and it's daring dash
across the Atlantic to haven at
Hampton Roads. 4;
American naval officers, who have
not been reluctant to admire the ex-
ploits of German sailors, agree that
the cruise of the .Appam and the op
erations of the mysterious raider
which took it's prisoner, deserves a
Place in the naval history of the wal
beside the consummate daring of the
Enrden, the cruises of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich and the Kronprinz Wilhelm
and probably besides the untold story
of the Karlsruhe.
80 While the mysterious raider re.
mains at liberty, avoiding the, travelled
lanes of the liners or taking refuge in
unsailed waters and picking off a
prize when the guarding lines of the
British cruisers are not near, the al.
lied shipping faces new and unex.
pected danger. =
Until it is decided whether the Ger
man commander aboard the British
Appam brought the ship to an Ameri
can port as prize of war or as a
converted auxiliary cruiser of the
German navy there will be no de.
termination of the American govern.
ment's course respecting the ship.
When certain formalities have been
complied with the ships passengers
including several British colonial Of
t1cials, will be released and their dis.
position passed on by immigration au.
thorities. Any prisoners of war will
be released, because international law
permit no holding of war prisoners in
a neutral country.
