QUEER LAWS

+ There are in force in Switzerland
certain laws which, in the hands of the
unscrupulous, may work great havoc
with personal rights and liberties.
This is a point concerning which
there can be no dispute. For instance,
in most cantons men and women may
be punished not only for what they
have actually done in the past, but al
so for what may possibly result in the
future from what they have done.
Suppose man is spending week by
week all he earns. Then the local au-
thorities, acting in conjunction with
the police, may send him to a penal
workhouse, on the pretext that his con-
duct is such that he may later become
destitute and therefore be a burden
to the community.-Buff News.

BLAZE In CAR
DESTROYS MAIL

Fire supposed to have started from
an overheated stove destroyed two
sacks of first class mail and about 60
sacks of second class mail in the
mail car attached to the Northern Pa
cific train which arrived in this city
at SO last night. The blaze is said
toA have started while the car stood
unoccupied on the tracks in Spo-
kane.
A considerable amount of mail mat
ter received at the local office from
this train was badly damaged. The
badges which were to be used at the
coming poultry show to be held next
week were so damaged that they will
be unfit for use.
Magazines and other second class
matter were so defaced and charred
that it is difficult for the postoffice
employees to distribute the same.

MILLINERY IS
SCENE OF FIRE
EXPLOSION OF HEATING STOVE
CAUSE OF FIRE IN TORSEN'S MIL
INERY THIS MORNING

An explosion from heating stove
of tissue paper, started blaze at 10
O'Clock this morning at the Torsen
Millinery which practically destroyed
the millinery stock, valued at $4,000,
and did damage to the building esti-
mated by Judge J. H. Forney, the
owner, at $1,000. A line of corsets in
the millinery owned by Mrs. Charles
Stanger, was totally destroyed, the
loss being $500 with no insurance.
Mrs. Torsen carried about $4,000 in
surance. The loss on the building
was practically covered by insurance.
A small amount of damage was done
by smoke to property in the law Of
fees of Judge Forney and Roy O.
Johnson upstairs over the millinery.
For a time it was feared the flames
would spread to Creighton's store, but
the fire was put under control by the
fire ladies just as smoke began to
come into the store through the
walls
Following the explosion the flames
spread rapidly from the tissue paper,
and by the time Mrs. Torsen telephon-
cd the alarm a great volume of smoke
was issuing from the store.
Judge Forney states that the build
ing will be repaired as rapidly as
possible. A crew of workmen began
carrying away the debris this after
noon.
Mrs. Torsen will resume her miltin-
cry business as soon as the building
is put IN shape.

WON'T ANSWER GREAT BRITAIN
Washington Much Pleased at Tone
of New Note

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - There
probably will be no separate reply to
Great Britain's supplemental note to
President Wilson regarding peace, de-
livered to the state department We'd
nesday. Administration officials are
gratified over the tone of the COM
munication and construe it as an en-
dorsement of the presidents sugges-
ton of a world league for peace, but
no formal statement on the subject
is considered necessary and it has not
been decided what shall be the next
move on the part of the United States.
The reference in the British note
to the necessity for some form of
international sanction behind treaty
agreements and international law
drew from German sources here yes
terday an authoritative statement that
Germany under no consideration
would enter a league to preserve
peace If she should emerge from the
war much more greatly damaged than
her enemies.
The central powers we're represent
ed as believing that the proposal to
establish such league at the end of
this war cannot be realized if the ul
innate result of the conflict is such
as to permit a completely victorious
set of belligerent to impose it's own
terms upon the vanquished.
