committee has been inspecting theatres
and public buildings with a view to
protecting the public against danger in

committee said today that Its work was

It Is thought' that a permanent build

to the work, and who are already more

' Despite the order of the 'Iowa courts
granting Claude Warren the custody of
his 8-year-old son; the little fellow will
remain-In the tare of his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Armstrong. This
was the decision of Judge George in
the state circuit court this morning.
It was held that the case properly comes
under the Jurisdiction of the Oregon
' courts. On the broad principle' or right
the court asserted tne Denei xaax. me
boy will be better off with hla grand
parents than with his father. '
About . two years ago Mrs. Warren
died in Iowa and the father of the boy
consented to the grandparents' being
given His custody. Later on trouble
arose over "his trying to govern the lt-
' tie fellow, and the courts were appeaieq
to. ' They awarded the grandparent th
custody of the child. . ;
Some : time ago Mr. and Mrs. Armt
strong am to-' Oregon with young
Cyrus. It has not been shown whether
1 they intend to reside here temporarily
or to take up a permanent residence
here. Warren Immediately appealed to
the courts, declaring that by taking the
boy out of the state they had vllr-
. garded its order. Nothing In the order
prevented the boy being, taken out of
the state, but the courts' held that the
'act violated its spirit Accordingly the
.former order was annulled and the
father given the custody of his son.
When he reached here he waa refused
the boy .on .the ground that the Iowa
courts had no Jurisdiction In this state.
Suit was brought to have (he order of
the Iowa courts enforced. ;
'The facts known her are not con
clusive-enough for me to pass on the
; Jurisdiction (of the Iowa courts." said
Judge George. "It may be that they had
, Jurisdiction, but; I question It., It may
be claimed that under the clause of the
federal constitution requiring full credit
to be given the proceedings of a court
In a sister state I am bound to enforce
this order, but I doubt if under the cir
cumstances this court could be required
to enforce such an order any more than
that of another court In this state. From
the view I take It Is hardly necessary
to consider these questions at alt. Six
months has passed since the order and
there is no doubt that this court lias
the custody of the Child now.
"I was favorably Impressed with the
- grandaprents of - the child during the
. trial. They were spoken of highly .by
. people who have known them for years.
' They appear attached to the child and
he to them. On the other hand, the
father Is hardly in a position to take
good care of the little fellow. On the
broad principle of faking the action I
deem dcsi ror tne weirare or me cnua l
will order that he remain permanently
t in the custody of Mr. and Mrs. Arm

8alt Lake City, Feb. 24. A quantity
of dynamite, sufficient to demolish the
building, was found in the basement of
the Dewey theatre, at Park City, yes
terday afternnnn Atianheri In th
plosive was a"TTnie arrangement for
setting it off. It Is firmly believed by
the police and managers of the theatre
that those responsible for the presence
' of the dynamite had planned to destroy
the place of amusement while the per
formance was being given. The discov
ery was made accidentally. The Janitor,
1 who seldom goea . Into the basement.
went there, and in the semi-darkness
he (tumbled over a large box. ' As he
. arose he found that the box had been
placed over a bundle. The Janitor car
ried the package upstairs, where It was
found to contain 10 sticks of dynamite
and th clockwork referred to. .
The explosive had been carefully
thawed out and otherwise prepared for
it deadly mission. The police were at
onca notified and began work on the
cas. , Th matter was kept qufet until
today. The officer now say that they
hsv discovered evldenc of a plot to
blow up the thealr while the perfor
mance wss being given. They say that

and expressed the desire that as many
Interested people as possible be in, at

uminous, embodying more than 70 type

HUNDREDS OF HOMES
LOST TO SETTLERS
(Continued from Page One.)
for nearly 10 year the case has bean
fought In all the courts and carried up
to the supreme court front th circuit
court of appeal..
F. P. Maya of the law firm of Carey
& May, v who represent the Northern
PaclQo at this point. In speaking of th
case said:
"The decision Is sweeping, and will
work a hardship on th settler who
have spent years in th building Up of
their homes. A th matter now stands
they hav no title whatever, and must
depend on the government to give them
assistance in th trouble.. The govern
,ment Is at fault, for the reason that
they should not hav permitted the set
tiers to file on the, lands, or Issued pat
ents, when they were aware that there
was a cloud on the title. In this way
the settler waa encouraged and led to
believe that he would aecur hla title.
The railroad company should hav,
without delay, brought action to secure
a decision when they learned, that the
government did , not recognize their
right to the land. The settler, of course,
Is not. wholly blameless for his part In
the transaction, and for hta, present se
rious plight. They .were all aware that
the title of the land was in question, and
took, the -chance of everything being all
right- The problem ivnen considered
rrm every standpoint is a difficult one
to cdpe with. The settlers may '" be
given land In lieu, of that which they
now hold, but that would not be satis
factory, a it is impossible to at this
time get land of value. This same
proposition might b made to the com
pany, but the same condition would op
ply to them. An effort might be madu
to buy out the settlers and give the
land to the railroad company, or to buy
the land from the railroad company and
give It to the settlers. Either on of
these moves would not b satisfactory.
A bill may be passed In congress to give
some kind of relief, but it will be a dif
ficult matter to settle, th problem so
that It wju b satisfactory all around
Georgo W. Stapleton, an attorney who
has handled a number of the case for
settlers, on the "overlap" land, before
th Vancouver land office stated: ,'
"Th decision of the supreme court
will cause no end of litigation and trou
ble for th farmer who have been un
fortunate. In ! locating on the land In
question. I. know about 100 of them.
and they hav good farms, which have
cost them year of hardship and toil
to build up to condition of produc
tiveness." The government Is responsl
ble In on sense, a they should never
hav allowed settlers on th land until
they wer In a position to give them
title, after the law of th land hav
been complied with. Som action wilt
hav to be taken, to undo the evil. It
will probably be In th way of remedial
legislation by congress. A board of ap
praisers may be appointed to fix the
value of th land and pay th settlers.
This, however, would not be Justice, as
It la a difficult matter to fix th cash
value of a homestead, and to Justly es
timate the compensation for th work,
hardship and losa of opportunity, which
would hv to be taken Into considera
tion If settlers were ejected. The rail
road company is under no obligation to
sell, and as the property I Increasing In
value, would probably ask a price out of
all reason If the government mad them
a proposition This would probably be
th attitude of th settler also.
"Some of th property in controversy
has changed hands a doxen or more
times, which will bring to the fore the
vexatious point of vested right. It
will be interesting to watch the contest
and see how the government will pro
ceed in giving to the settler th pro
tection they are entitled fo under the
circumstances.. The railroad company
Is out of the fight, which is between the
government and the settlers. Of course
the railroad will probably be drawn In
on ttje matter of the adjustment of va'
ues, or on some point where they will
be given an opportunity to either buy or
sell the land."

Engineer Llnvllle has resigned his po
sition on the big government dredge
Chinook. Major W. C. Langfltt has re
turned from a trip to Astoria, wher
he Investigated the cause of . a larg
number of the men quitting work on
the Chinook last week. The men said
they were dissatisfied with the ration
given them, and ihat they were not
always tempting.
After making a thorough Inquiry into
th subject Major Langftti says h sat
isfied himself that the "grub" question
had nothing to do with the difficulty.
There has been, certain amount of
friction, he says, between the captain
and the engineer, aod their respective
deaprtments, and to this he attributes
the trouble. Nearly all the men. who
quit' work-were employed In theengl
neer's department, and the constant
wrangling is believed to have been th
cause. .
. "Did you request the. engineer to re
sign?" the major was asked.
"No," was the reply. "He quit of
hi own accord."
"Has anyone been appointed to suc
ceed him?" '. .
''No, but an appointment will likely be
made very soon."
'Some of the employes who walked
off the dredge." .concluded the major,
"were young chaps, , and did not ear
much, whethef they worked or not. We
will not reinstate the strikers as a body,
but will take them back a individuals.
If they are needed, and we are satis
fled that they, want work.. '
"I do not think there will be any
further trouble on the Chinook. Every
thing Is going along satisfactorily now.
and I think will continue that way."

(Hearst Special BerWre.)
New York, Feb. 24. The report
that the csar of Russia will take per
sonal command of Ills imperial forces
In the east 1 another proof that the re
sources of that great nation will be ex
ercised to the utmost to maintain It
dignity, honor, prestige and defend It
stronghold and other post on th
Pacific) coast.
Dispatches from Russia declare that
th czar' soldier have, already crossed
the Talu river and are preparing to bat
tie with th Japanese with the river at
their backs. Seoul is. from north to
south, about the center of the Korean
peninsula, and, is more than 300 miles
from the Talu river. The taking of the
capital would be an almost impossible
undertaking for the force which the
czar, ha available for such a purpose.
Th statement is utterly inconsistent
with repeated dispatches which assert
that Viceroy Alexieff ha established
hi headquarter In Harbin, and that
the plan of campaign Involve the con
oentration of an army at that point
400,000 strong, This would put the vice
roy' headquarters at least 700 mile
from Seoul, which Is certainly a very
extraordinary plan of campaign.
I think that the public Is very apt
to exaggerate what Is called "disaffec
tion," or lack of loyalty, of the ciar's
subject. The history of all countries
show that llttl matter of disaffection
and sometimes matters of oppression and
injustice re lose sight of when th
hqnorNnd prestige of a nation are as
sailed. In auch times the spirit of chiv
alry and devotion to governing power
rise to great heights, and we may ex
pect uch will be the case regard
Russia. ,
Nihilists are few In number to the
great mass of what were one serf, a
people who feel that they owe their re
leas from serfdom, to the father end
grandfather of th preent ruler. We
may. accordingly, feel assured that
there 'will be little difficulty In filling
the army with willing and loyal sol
dier. .
It I therefore probable that good sol
