TO SUFFERING
Late Reports Show Quake
Destruction In Chile
More Appalling Than
First Thought.

Santiago, Nov. 14.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. Reports OF ban
ditry in the earthquake disaster.
together with news of additional
earth shocks and indications that
the calamity has reached ap-
palling proportions, caused the
Chilean government today to con-
slider the advisability Of sending
troops to Coquimbo and Atacama
to reinforce the regular garrisons,
which are too small to cope with
the situation and aid in relief
work.
Huge Area Devastated.
New reports indicate that q
stretch Of territory along the
south coast for lao miles and to
depth OF ESQ miles has been al
most denuded Of human habita-
tion.
Destruction OF sections Of main
line railroad In this district and
the branch lines which serve the
inland territory, as well as the
twisting and cracking Of the
wagon roads, make 1T impossible
for relief to reach the destroyed
towns except by packing the sup
plies on mules. Great and increas-
ing distress Is reported, owing to
the breakdown Of the water sys-
TENS as well as the lack Of food.
Many OF the survivors are still in
the hills, where they took refuge
when the buildings began to fall.
Outlawry broke out last night
In the town OF Vallenar, the chief
sufferer from the earthquake.
where 1t is estimated 1000 Of the
inhabitants perished. while re-
ports OF robberies and holdups
came from other places.

RELATIONS OF
RUSSIANS AND
IAPS Stronger

Toxic, Nov. 14.--(By Associat-
ed Press. Better relations be-
tween Toxic and Moscow and q
(change In the hitherto uncom-
promising attitude OF Nikolai
Lenine, head of the soviet gov
eminent toward Japan, are fore
cast following Japan's evacuation
Of the Siberian mainland.
The commander of the red
forces that occupied Vladivostok
as the Japanese left, told Japa-
nese officers prior to his own de-
parture for Moscow that he saw
promise Of better relations be-
tween Japan and Russia and a
change In Lenines policy towards
Toxic, when the whole case Is pre-
sented to the head Of the Moscow
regime.
Vernacular newspapers here de-
clare negotiations already have
been opened between the two gov
ernments, but this announcement
is characterized in well informed
circles as premature.
With Siberia under the direc
control of Moscow, which already
is an established fact, owing t.
the acknowledgement of Moscow'i
authority by the government Of
the Far Eastern republic, Japan
believes the soviet will make over
lures for the resumption Of trade
relations between the two coun-
tries.

INITIATIVE Law
QUESTIONED BY
JUDGE BURNETT

Hon. George H. Burnett, chief
justice of the supreme court OF
Oregon, at the luncheon today Of
the Kiwanis club said that 1t was
a question whether the initiative
right OF the voters was success
or failure, as 1t was the case
too often that only handful Of
people who become enthused over
certain law bring 1t before the
public who are too busy to give
time to a careful study Of the
merits Of the case with the result
that unwlse legislation is liable
to be voted.
III a government Is to be by
and for the people 1t ought to be
the duty OF every voter to see
that the government is by the
people by going to the polls and
voting" the judge said. "Those
eligible to vote who do not do SO
ought to be ashamed Of them
selves"
A. Phimister Proctor, nation
ally known sculptor who mod
eled the statue Of Theodore
Roosevelt which was unveiled
In Portland last week and who Is
to model a Circuit Rider" statue
to be placed In the state capitol
grounds, was present at the
luncheon and was introduced. BY
a peculiar coincidence he won
the attendance prize which was
given by e. Quinn. 1t has happen
ed several times before that Wis

COURT HOLDS
WELFARE OF
aCH|LD FIRST.
Liberty To Experiment
With Well Being of
Young Is Denied BY
High Tribunal.

The courts are not at liberty,
under the law, to experiment with
the welfare of q child, Justice
Rand holds, in an opinion hand
ed down by the supreme court
this morning affirming the judg-
ment of Judge Gatens of the Multi
nomah county circuit court In
denying to Blinn s. Bryant of
Oakland. California, the custody
+of his s-year-old son, now in the
care Of sister of Blinn's former
wife, now deceased.
Parents Divorced.
The Bryants were married In
Portland in 1910, later moving to
California where the child in
question was born, Mrs. Bryant
shortly thereafter leaving her
husband because of a fault of his
and securing divorce. Upon the
death of Mrs. Bryant six years ago
the child was left In the care of
her sister from whom Bryant has
sought to wrest his son through
habeas corpus proceedings.
The lower court found that up
on the separation of the Bryants
the father had sought to evade re-
sponsibility for the care of the
child and had not made an effort
to claim his son until after his
second marriage. The child, the
opinion points out, is now In COM
petent hands in good home and
is assured Of good care. There
fore, although error has been
proven in the records which might
ordinarily justify a reversal Of
the action Of the lower court, the
supreme court affirms the action
Of that court in the interest Of the
child's welfare.

TWO SALEM|TES
MAY GET $ !J;ES
OF Ply &c PIE

At least two si' men are
among those prominently men
toned" for places at the political
pie counter under the administra-
tion of state affairs by Walter M.
Pierce, governor-elect, according
to speculation on the part of the
political prognosticators.
Henry Downing, chairman Of
the Democratic county central
committee and actively in charge
of the Pierce campaign in Marion
county, is said to be in line for
the wardenship Of the state prison.
Dalrymple In Line
A. M. Dalrymple, secretary of
the county central committee, is
said to have an eye on the job
of secretary to the state board of
now held by r. B. Goodin
at salary of $4,000 year. This
position is under the jurisdiction
Of the state board of control and
requires one vote in addition to
that of the governor in order to
effect a change. Goodin has been
secretary Of the board since its
creation in 1913.
Laronda M. Pierce, who was
also active of the democratic can
didate, is said to be out after some
kind of a clerical job under the
new regime, just what not hav-
ing as yet been disclosed.
Aldrich Good Prospect
e. B. Aldrich, editor of the East
at Pendleton, is said
to be slated for the position of
private secretary to the incoming
executive, a position of consider
able responsibility and an ap-
pointment of much Importance to
the governor inasmuch as it in
wolves the selection of a confiden-
tial advisor upon whom much of
The success of his administration
Of the affairs Of the state must
depend. The connection Of the
name Of Aldrich with this appoint
nent is based upon the known
loyalty of the Pendleton news
oapernan to the democratic can
lidate during both the primary
and prediction campaigns.
The insurance commissioner
ship, now held by A. G. Barber,
and to which attaches a salary of
$1,000 a year, seems to be the
most sought for plum in the polit-
cal menu. No fewer than five
names are prominently men
