' Onvthe theory that the has not

Mrs. Peterson is a native of Ne

When the mother gained strength
she came to Omaha and entered "ihe
employ of the M. E. Smith company,'
and a year ago was married to Ray
mond ., Peterson, an industrious
young mechanic, who provided, -for
licr a good home, which he. owned.
After the marriage the mother love
of Mrs. Peterson asserted ffself and
with the consent of her husband she
tried to get possession of her hild.
The , grandparents, Mr. and Mj.
John Cotton, had grown so attachefl
to Earlene in the-' meantime that they
resisted and suit for possession was
brought in the county court of Ne
maha county.
For three weeks after all the evi
dence and the pleas of the lawyers
and the briefs on both sides, had
been submitted County Judge Hawx
by, before whom- the case washeard,
rendered the "decision of Solomon."
,. Ruling Is Appealed. ,
He has ruled that the paternal
.grandparents of the little girL,. Mr.
and Mrs. John Cotton of Auburn,
shall have the custody of the Child
until the latter it of school age.
In the meantimethe physical con
dition of the mother and the step
father of the child will be observed.
They are residents of Omaha. They
will be permitted to have the com
panionship of the little girl -several
weeks each year and in the mean
time the mother is to obtain from
this association the necessary ex
perience to enable her to care for
her daughter when the custody of
the latter is released to her four or
five years hence, unless sooner de
creed by some higher court of ap
peal. Mr. and Mrs. Cotton assert that
the custody of the baby is absolute
1v rvientiat tn their hanoiness. health
and peace of mind. Mrs. Ptersoni
sivs tney nave ureny monopouzea
prived her of a mother s natural
riehts to the extent that her little
daughter does not recognize her
in a maternal relationship.

Anti-Jap Law Scored by Shibusawa 1
Japan's "Grand Old Man" Expresses Belief That
; California's Attitude Is Not Shared by, United
States as a Whole. ' f
New York Tlmen-Clilcaito Tribune Cable
' Copyrinlit, 1910.
Tokio, Nov. 6. iViscount Eiichi
Shibusawa, the 'grand old man of
Japan," disobeying his" doctor, . left,
a sick bed today to discuss the par-:
sage of the California land law with
a Tribune correspondent. He. is
president of the Tokio Chamber of
Commerce and that city's richest
man. '
He expressed resentment and sur
praise at the legislation, criticised it
as being un-Christ'an, and declared
that one 'Arneric'am state should not
be permitted to pass such a law, a
the majority of Americans, he be
lieved, were not in sympathy' with
California's attitude.
Viscount Shihusawa's statement
follows: '
Lays No Responsibility.
"Approximately 60,000 Japanese in.
California are victims of an effort
to deprive them o" their, property
right. I shall no discuss responsi
bililty for the action", but I shall ex-'
Jress my sympathy for the California
apanese.- - - . ...
"I feel that Americans outside of
California should h'.ve exerted their
influence to prevent the legislation,
as it is a matter, too fraught with
danger to permit a , single. tate to.
handla it A better way would have,
been to let the two governments ad1;
just ;the. diffictltv. . l ;i '. )'
. "L.paiticularly regret the action.
X Is know personaly , that that a-
large class of - Americans do " not
share the California attitude. It
seems strange that one state, whose
people are not acquaiuted with in
ternational issues, can pass a law
which will arouse the resentment of
a whole Ibreign natio; . , ,.,
"The American Sunday school
convention delegates recently enter
tained in Tokio, expressed their be
lief in justice, for all, regardless of
race, and advocated a true brother
hood for men. I must say that a
religion whose exponents profess
one thing and practice another can
not have much force.
Desires Friendship.
"I deeply desire the contipuance
of friendship and Sympathy between
Japanese and America and therefore,
I earnestly hope that the.representa
tives of the two governments will
raise the issue to the level of an
international conference and keep it
there until it is settled.
"I am aware that legal difficulties
may intervene, but personally, I be
lieve that a settlement should be
based on reasonableness rather than
law and I believe the two govern
ments should prepare a measure,
which would not only reassure the
Japanese" iri "California.' but would
prevent future friction which might
result in a serious situation."

getters. . '"'' '
Tbree House Scats
Remain in Doubt
Republicans, However, Claim
Them Now Have 290
Members Assured, to 138
for Democrats.
New York, Nov. 6. Result of
last Tuesday's election in three of
;nr nation s 4.13 congressional dis
tricts remained undetermined today
as the fifth day of tabulating the, re
publican party's tremendous sweep
wasTbcgtin,
The hoiking districts were the
Twenty-third New York, Eighth
Minnesota and Fifth Missouri, in all
e rwhich ' the; wote for representa
tives' apparenfl'will be close.
The republicans, with 290 mem
bers in the house of representatives
already assured, t6. 138 democrats,
one socialist,' one independent, one
independent prohibitionist and one
independent republican, were cla?...
ing success in all three of the unde
termined districts. ' They also were
predicting upsets in the Fourth and
Eighth districts of Tennessee, which
had been placed earlier in the demo
cratic column.
Victories' in all five of these dis
tricts would give the republicans a
total of 295 seats and would cut the
democratic total to 136, while the
best possible results for the demo
ciats would give them a total of only
141 to 290 for the republicans.
