WALLA WALLA.-Eleven Chinese
were burned to death here Monday
night about 9 o'clock in a fire which
broke out in the Chinese Mason
quarters, or Chop House Club" as it
is known, on West Rose between
Sixth and Seventh STREETS. All the
bodies were found in one inside room.
Origin of the fire is reported to
have been due to firecrackers used
for celebration of the Chinese new
year. From reports secured by the
police an aged Chinaman dropped a
bunch Of lighted f~irecrackers by acct
dent and they set fire to the build
ing.
How SO many happened to burn to
death in q building with 10 many
exits as this one had will probably
never be solved. There were enough
doors, windows and balconies for all
of them to have made their escape,
Some we're evidently suffocated by
dense smoke.
Mrs. Deigim, who came here from
Pasco, was burned to death. The
woman had evidently been asleep al
the time, as she was found lying on
her bed. She had evidently beer
awakened by the fire, as she had
grasped her pocketbook, which con
tanned about $500.
Supper was being prepared on the
first floor when the fire broke out
The building was next to the Chinese
mission recently opened here.
Identification of the dead was i'm

consider wage demands made by the
brotherhoOds. 1t deals wholly with
the wage demand settlement proposals
and does not refer directly to the me-
mortal later presented by the brother
hood heads asking that he veto the
railroad bill.

passage of the railroad bill made it

gestions until it should have been de-
termined whether the bill would be-

in a final report to President Wilson

Washington he said, lis rich in

It wishes to promote the public good,

LLOYD GEORGE DID NOT EXPECT
NETHERLANDS TO GIVE UP
FORMER RULER.
he VIOLATED NO STATUTE LAW
Interesting Editorial From Youths
Companion Brings Out Facts
Contrary to Common
Understanding.

British Dpinion-that part of it
which is determined to make itself
heard-forced Mr.. Lloyd George to
give a pledge that he would advocate
and if possible obtain the surrender
OF the former kaiser for trial. Prob
ably neither he nor any other member
of the supreme council that eventually
made the demand expected or even
wished the Netherlands government
to comply with it. To do so would
only have set new trouble afoot; for
there Is no statute law, national or
international, that the kaiser could
have been accused of t~ransgressing;
and Of moral law, unless it is sup
ported by statute, the law takes no
account. Moreover, there is no court
that would have been competent to
take jurisdiction in the case; and if
the kaiser were tried and convicted.
the character and extent of the PEN
atty to be imposed on him would raise
questions of policy more likely than
not to be answered injudiciously and
SO would have led to a situation worse
than anything that is likely to result
from dropping the matter.
Mr.. Lloyd George kept his pledge,
but the Dutch government, by refusing
to surrender the former emperor. has
saved the allies from the necessity Of
considering what to do with him. The
decision of the Netherlands govern
ment, being based on sound reasons
was not unexpected. For many years
Holland, like most other countries, has
been an asylum for political offenders.
The allies did not assert that there
had been any violation of any law that
is covered by extradition treaties;
they made their demand on the au.
thority of a treaty to which the Meth
erlands is not a party. For Holland
to accede to it would have been vir-
tually to commit a breach of the neu-
trality that the Netherlands govern
ment has most h%onorably and scrupu-
lousy observed.
The fundamental idea of the right of
asylum is as old as human Govern.
ment. The cities of refuge under the
Mosaic law and the protection that
criminals sought and obtained in
Greek and other temples are examples
OF it. In modern times almost every
government gives asylum to political
refugees from other countries. Revo-
lutions often drive men from home,
and it would be cruel not to receive
them; so the right of asylum is today
a public right, sanctioned by general
custom. Carl Schurz came, a refugee,
to the United States and escaping
revolutionaries from almost every
country of Europe have found asylum
here. Our government has never
thought of surrendering them. Even
Great Britain, which now calls for the
kaiser's body, sheltered no less a
criminal than Orsini, who was eventu-
ally executed for trying to kill Ma
polean III, though that was only his
last attempt at assassination.
The moral guilt of the ex.kaiser. or
what punishment he deserves, or what
we think of him or his deeds, are not
here in question. On all those points
the mind of the world has long been
made up and is unchangeable.-The
Youths Companion, Boston,
