DYING ACTRESS WILLS
CHILD TO SISTER; RICH
7 FATHER MAKES CLAIM
Struggle for Possession of
Little Girl Renewed Upon
Death of Disowned Mother
(rnltrd Prea Leimed Wlre.Y
Washington, Jan. 17. Whether the
the millions of a family who, in life,
disowned the mother, shall with her
death, be powerful enough to take
from her family her 3 -year-old baby
girl, will be determined by the cold
lrocees of law, started here today.
The child la Lena, lovingly known to
her mother in Hfo as "Little Jacque"
Swift. The mother, Jacques Bradley,
one time noted actress, died early this
week. She l-ft a remarkable will,
reading:
"I, Jacques Bradlev Swift, being of
ill health but sound mind, bequeath
to my sister, Jennie Bell Wendal, my
child, Lena Swift."
The fattier of .the baby is Thomas
Swift, son of a millionaire family of
Atlanta, Oa. Me eloped with the moth
er and took his bride to his' Georgia
home, but ehe was "a woman -of the
stage' in the eyes of the artistocratic
members of his family. Soon after
little Lena w.as born Mrs. Swift sued
for and got her divorce. Despite the
i'lfluenc of the Swift millions, she
also got possession of the child.
Time and again the Swift family
tried to g-t the baby. Promises of
money were lavishly made, the last
offer coming just before Mrs. Swift's
death being an offer of $30,000 for the
baby. But the mother would have
none of it, and with Jior last strength
hhe penned the will, which she hoped
t i l ..... . I lu tw f s ,r i . : tir f rnm ' thfl
family that had been unkind to her.
Word reached here today that-Swift
is coming from Atlanta. He had sent
word 'in advance that he will demand
the baby. Mrs. Wendal says she will
not give it up and her lawyers are
already preparing for what will prove
a precedent establishing legal contest.
For the courts, for the first time here,
will be asked to decide whether a
dying parent shall say who shall be
her child's guardian.

DISASTER
Earthquakes Preceding Erup
- tion Gave Time for Inhab
itants, to Make Escape.
(United Preaa Leaned Wire.)
Tokio, Jan. 17. There was the ut
irost astonishment today when the
first available official reports statoj
that the loss of life on Sakurashima !
Island was very slight, despite the-'
fact that some 2000. houses were j
iroyea in me two aays temoie erup
tions of the volcano on the island.
The official report said that eleven
persons were killed on the island, nine
by falling walls and two by drowning.
It was admitted that the total numbo-
of casualties would be somewhat more
than this because some are unaccount
ed for.
Twenty thousand peoDla lived on
Sakurashima island, but the volcanic
eruptions, the report says, affected
only a part of the island. The 150
earthquakes preceding the eruptions
gave the inhabitants ample warninir
and they fled to the mainland.

son to go at once to Washington and
there urge before the committee on
commerce, and othershe facts of the
trade crisis that existsxhere and the
reasons Why the bill should be passed
fully strong showing St Washington.
James J. Hill, the empire builder, has
promised-to appear at Washington in
behalf of the bill, whenever called on
to ko. William P. Clough, chairman
of the board of directors of the Northern-
Pacific, has made a similar prom
ise. C ll.MeL.eod, a leading business
man of .Missoula, Mont., has offered to
go to. Washington and remain until
the frill is passed.
Realization of the fact that great
carriers, of the type to be used upon
the opening of the Panama canal, will
not !be, sent to the Columbia river, un
less there is 40 reet ot water on tne
bar,' is chiif cause of the widespread
interest. It is well known that Port
land's future as a port depends on
getting tnis ciass oi snipping.
For submission to the Monday meet
lng compilations showing the steam
ship scompanies that will use the Pan
ama canal, maps showing territory and
trade lines, the port's commerce as
compared with competitive ports, and
the results of dredging in other ports,
are being prepared,
' ' Dr. Alfred Kinney, chairman of the
Ports of Columbia committee, will ex
plain h6w the people of the entire
Columbia basin have been organized
in support of the campaign.
"The need of a 40 foot channel "over
the bar is not 'hot air," " said President
Averill. "We are not going to have
any 'hot air' at the Monday meeting.
We are gathering at a time of great
crisis in our commercial development.
We have laid on us the obligation
of effective, strong, courageous and
immediate action."

out that instead of the commission
failing to respond to appeals or com
