Chief of Police George M. Shippy, bit too Harry, bin driver, Jame Foley, were wounded by an anarchist who at tempted to astassinatc the police offi cer in the hall of the latter' residence shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. A desperate Druggie in which Mri. Shippy and her daughter, Ccorgctta, joined wan icrminnicd when the chief drew hia own revolver and killed hi attailunt All attempt to identify the man have thus far resulted in failure. The attack it believed to have been tbe result of a widespread conspiracy to harm all official who have been, active in suppressing mani festation of anarchy in the commun ity. Four city official are aid to have been threatened and the police spy who recognized the corpse of the man who invaded Shippy't home as that of a person who regularly at tended anarchist' meetings asserted that the man was chosen by a lot to do away with not only the chief of police, but Mayor Butte at well. The ramification! of the plot are taid to have extended to other cities and to be closely connected with the killing of Father Leo at Denver. Harry Shippy wat most severely wounded in today's affray although the bullet passed completely through hit body just ab'ovc the heart. It was said to night that he had a good. chance for recovery. Hit father wat stabbed in the army and Foley received a bullet in the wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by the desperado but her hurts are slight Following the attack, squads of police were sent into the Italian Ghetto districts of the city.. Places known as headquarters of secret s6 cicties suspected of anarchistic ten dencics were raided and before mid night a score or more of arrests were made. The coroner's inquest over the body of the anarchist was also start ed and States Attorney llealy an nounced that the March grand jury which convened today would be giv en an opportunity to investigate the anarchistic organizations in an '..at tempt to fasten the responsibility for the attack upon the Instigators. It was also reported that Mayor Busse intends to issue an order forbidding all street meetings, the allegation be ing made that such gathering whether of political or religious nature are often made the occasion for attacks upon social order. That the attempt to kill Shippy resulted in failure was due largely to the policeman's quick ness in anticipating the purpos'es of his visitor's presence. The man had twice called at the house and asked for the chief. Yesterday when he was told that Shippy was at work and again early this morning when a ser infnrmPff him that the chief vmtb could not be seen before 9 o'clock. (Continued on page 8.)

Murder of Father Leo Ministers' Themes Sunday. TRACED ORIGIN OF CRIME One Great Cause of Crime Dean Hart Declared Wai the Public Tolerance of Saloont, Gambling Houaea and Houses of III Repute. DENVER, MAR. 2.-Practically every minister, speaking from the pulpit yesterday made the murder of Father Leo Heinrichs the principal subject of their discourse, Several of them traced the origin of alt crime to the liquor traffic. Dr. Christian 1 Reisner, of the Grace M. E. Church, declared that in this traffic the South had found the cause of crime and has almost stop ped it. He said. "If we do not win large territories in this anti-saloon league fight now on, we will sec more crime. Trace one crime after another" that has re cently occured and they will lead you to the taloon door." Dr. Baynard Craigh, pastor of the Central Christian Church, said that the murder of Father Leo Heinrichs was but the natural climax of the criminal tendencies of the times, but spoke in an optimistic way of the future stating th; the greatest re vival of religion this country has ever ASTORIA, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1908 to me that any nun came out alive." Sims declared that the shutters in the direct hoists did not work proper ly and when sackt of powder burst, grains of powder frequently got down to the handling room in the hold of the ship. He referred to the explo sion on the Georgia and said 20 odd burning grains of powder had found their way down to the handling rooms. Hale said he thought it hai beerf established that only interrupted or two itage hoist would be used in the ships to be built hereafter. Sims laid that no broken hoist would permit of such rapid firing at is averaged by the American ships with direct hoist, but that the danger with direct hoist it very great. Referring to gunnery, Sims char acterized the shooting of the Ameri can navy in the battle of Santiago as the most disgraceful exhibition of gunnery that ever took place on the face of tbe globe. He taid it only averaged 11 per cent of the shot that hit and the best record of any vessel in the engagement with the big guns was 4 per cent "Our gunners could not shoot at all," he said. "The Span iards were in a woeful condition or (he would have escaped easily." PRICE FIVE CENTS Is Naval Aid to the Pres ident.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Com-mander Sims, naval aid to the Presi dent by hit own statement is respon sible for the row over the criticisms in the battleship construction. At the) outset of his testimony before the Senate committee on naval affairs today he said he would have to go into unpleasant details, such as charging the officers or inventors with having made misleading statements. The secretion of official documents and the refusal of hit superior officers to accept suggestions of value. Sims plan however was upset almost imme diately by "Tillman, who suggested that the witness be instructed to con line his testimony to alleged faulty construction, and to say nothing of personal criticisms or other matters which are to be taken up later. He got away from the line of inquiry time and again and was called back sharp- lyby members of the committee. Sims said the armor belt on all of our vessels is too low, He said the statements made by Converse and Capps were misleading. He declared that the logs of battleships should be secured and these would' show the watcrline of all the ships. Sims as serted that the French allow for extra weights and the Germans figure on the normal lino with full bunkers. He said when the American ships arriv ed at Rio de Janeiro, the water lines of the Connecticut class were fully a foot and a half below the normal. Cappa was given permission to cross examine the witness. The admiral did this by raising a direct issue with the witness. He denied that Germans figure on full bunkers; that logs are not accurate evidence and defied the witness to show that the vessels LOS ANGELES.

EXAMINED BY ALIENISTS To Forestall Any Plea of Insanity the District Attorney Has Determined to Have Alia Thoroughly Exam ined by Experts Before the Plea i Entered. DENVER. March 2. District At torney Stidger' said today that he used every means to secure from Giuseppe Alia a confession of the connection of others in the assassi nation of Father Leo. The prisoner however stands firm in the assertions that Ne is not an anarchist and not- a member of any society and that no one was connected with him in the killing of Father Leo. The district attorney docs not believe Alia. To forestall any plea of insanity the dis trict attorney has determined to have SUITTER TO BE INDICTED t Manning Will Sit as the Grand Jury. 2ND DEGREE MURDER Coroner's Jury Which Held In quest on Shafer Found Shoot- ing Not Justifiable. WORTHLESS CHECKS. "He That Steals my Trash." Purse Steals SAN FRANCISCO, March 2,-G. B. Williams, a Shapespearean reader and scholar, who is charged with having passed several worthless checks among tome well known society persons in Tacoma, has been arrested in San Francisco.

PORTLAND, March 2,-The coro ner's jury which held the inquest over the body of Henry Shafer, the long shoreman, who was shot to death last night by Patrolman N. H. Suitter to night found that Shafer came to death by shooting at the hands of Patrol man Suitter and found the shooting not justifiable. Immediately after th verdict, was returned District Attor ney John Manning ordered Suitter under arrest and stated that-tomor row, sitting as a grand jury, he would indict the policeman for murder in the second degree. Suitter was a tar get for opprobrious epithetics and came near a personal insult trom Shafer's friends as he was being led from the hearing. The courtroom was filled by members of the German colony which populates the neighbor hood in which the shooting occurred. This colony is well to do andit is stated will financially support the prosecution of the policeman. BETTER STEEL DEMAND. U. S.

Sims said he had no data in this regard, so Capps declined to con tunic the examination commenting seen can be expected within a very I that it was "obvious" that witness short time. He declared that the winning of very large fortunes by in dividuals and the methods they pur sue in accumulating riches, tend as much as anything else to destroy morality among people, "When one great captain of finance succeeds in winning milions at the sacrifice of truth and justice," he said, "he had demoralized and damaged the foundation of integrity in thousands of subordinates, who have been prac tically compelled to be partners with him in his moral delinquencies." Dean H. Martin Hart, of St. Johns Episcopal Church, said: "Every day men because of their power and high station in fife defy law and escape punishment. At the riches, cdmprising only one pet cent (Continued on page 8.) had no data on which to base hi criticisms, r "I should like to have the commit tee c;ill Rear Admiral Goodrich and officers of his class to testify," said Sims. "I will make 'specific allusion to that officer in a few' moments," said Capps.,' His tone indicated that the allusions would not be complimen tary to that officer and Hale said it would not be necessary for either offi cer to express his own opinion. The question of turret construction and the relative value of direct and interrupted ammunition hoists were takttr up. The commander, gave a graphic description of an open tur ret with direct hbistsj which depicted the danger in such a manner as caus ed Hale to remark the "Wonder is ists betore the plea is entered.

Material improvement in the mar ket for finished steel products was reported yesterday at the regular monthly meeting of the finance com mittee and directors of the -United States Steel Corporation. Advices from' the corporation's mills through out the eastern territory showed that within the last month the company's business had increased so rapidly that its production had been agumcnt- ed 10 to 15 per cent. During January, the directors re ported that the corporation's plants had increased their output so that from operating only 35 or 40 per cent of capacity, they now were oper ating more than 50 per cent The out look for continuing this increase, the directors added, is bright. In December and January daily orders received by the United States Steel Corporation averaged 9000 to 11,000 tons, but at present, it was learned yesterday, the corporation's bookings amount to almost 15,000 tons a day, or fuly half of its normal capacity.

TELEPHONE MAIN ML Official paper of Clatsop County and the City of Astoria. BECOMING A PROVERB. The ease with which Portland ap propriates to herself the minor (and major) things which outlying uregon rnmnmnities have always considered peculiarly their own (and have not sense nor courage enough to noia on to, is becoming s proverb in the State. It is alright, of course; she has perfect right to grab right and left and make the most of those things her neighbors do not appreciate enough to fight for; it is the prerog ative of any great commercial cen ter to do the octopus act when it can. We used to blame the metropo lis for her incarnate hoggishness and cold-blooded aggression, but we re nigged on that because of the apethe tic, indifferent, irresponsible mood of our own city regarding such inva sions, and find that Astoria is not alone in this negative and regrettable attitude. Indeed, the whole situation oresents twin-proverbs. Successful aggression on the one part; and dead- lv suoineness. on the other. The latest contribution to the com merce of Portland, made by this city, is the turning over of the Pacific Navigation Company's business, "lock, stock and barrel" the Sue H. Elmore, Gerald C, and Evie. The own intr company declares it is owing to the excessive charges on Tillaaiook freight, hence to the metropolis and inland points that the change has been made; that it must absorb these charges or take the Sue H. Elmore, and the lesser craft,, off the coast run; in fact, that it is acting on the defensive absolutely, and saving its business. Admitting which, and con sidering the late and vigorous howl that has gone up from Portland about the wretched service the Tillamook ians have been subjected to, out of Astoria, it is easy enough to see that the "excessive charges" referred to by the Astoria company, were, to say the least of it, plainly inspired. But, be it all as it may, the people of Astoria have received another patent lesson in the art of seaport building, and whether they will profit by it and rouse themselves to a plane of suc cessful resistance to encroachments of the kind, remains to be seen and proven. THE BIG SIXTEEN. Admiral Evans, with his mighty and magnificent marine trust, is on the last foreign leg of the tremendous cruise from sea-board to sea-board; every ship in prime condition; the crews are in perfect health; no casualties are recorded; no losses, no trouble, no chagrin, interference nor dubious thing whatever, to report nor grieve over; the vast undertaking has, so far, been a superb success and the heart of the nation beats with splen did inspiration in the thought of it. It is all purely and distinctively Amer ican and we are completely justified in the pride and dependence we have placed in the men and ships, despite the carpings of inspired, and unin spired, critics. Along with all other coast com munities, Astoria devoutly hopes she may get a glimpse of the beautiful pageant when it enters the waters of the North Pacific, and that, if pos sible, the great fleet may go on up the Columbia to Portland; but, for the time being its future movements are so shrouded in doubt outside the range of the naval department at Washington, that hope is all anyone north of San Francisco has to com fort him. SCANDINAVIAN-AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK HAS MONEY TO LOAN ON H GOOD SECURITY great leaders of the "Interests." It is a righteous and reviving thought to possess, and its wider habit in this country might become a vaiuaoie asset in time. We are too easily in fluenced the other way, and need the impulse of such ideas and their fre quent declaration from authoritative and dependable sources. Mr. Schwab is at the head of one of the greatest la bor-employing businesses in the coun try; and if he were in that group of sore-heads" that is charged with the attempt to bear the labor mbarket, and force continued hard times on the country for the expressed purpose of subjugating that element to a pas sive acceptance of any old wage-scale it may devise, he would hardly be quoted with such cheery import at this. THREE MILLS RUNNING. The opening up of three of the largest of the milling and lumbering plants at the mouth of the Columbia, one of the cheering signs we needed to prove that the back of the dull season hereabout is broken. We hope they will run uninterruptedly for the balance of the year, and that all the rest will be humming witn them; this, with a good salmon ran and a market abroad reacting from the quietude of last year, should make 1908 a feature year with Astoria. She can stand it alright! And with other good things that are likely to tumble out of the Pandora box of ultimates, she is ready to make the best use of good fortune and prove her inherent right to prosperity. FIFTY FRATERNATIESj With the installation of Astoria Council, No. 1307, Knights of Colum bus in this city on Sunday last, the City-by-the-Sea rounded out her half-hundred of fraternal organiza tions, and may be styled one of the livest communities of the Northwest, in this ilne. So far as can be ascertained every one of the 50 is in flourishing shape; doing its own particular function of mutual goodwill and aid and direct ing its membreship along the paths of kindliness and communal enity; a course of action that holds no incon siderable advantage when it is under stood that only through the mutual, unified strength of the people can anything worth having be wrought. It is in such associations that some of the best and most popular fran chises we possess, have been conceived. manifested by the Travelling Passcn gcr Agents on innumerable occasions. Mr. John Harper, who will super intend the float making for the Rose Festival in June, is an expert in this line, and for many years has had charge of this feature for the "Veiled Prophet" of St. Louis. Various organizations in the Ore gon Development League are adopt ing a special letter-head for use dur ing March and April only something so striking that the colonist rates cannot be overlooked by .its recipient. Business men are using the same sta tionery. Already answers are arriv ing to advertisements inserted in the greatest agricultural, fruit and dairy journals of the country by the League about the middle of February, and long lists of enquirers are being sent to the different commercial secreta ries whose organizations are affiliated with the State body. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of literature are going East from every part of Ore gon. Every mail carries its message. Especially valuable are the fruit bul letins and report of the Oregon State Dairy Association sent from the home office. The Los Angeles Information Bureau maintained by Oregon reports a number of people coming North immediately as a consequence of its few weeks' work. "The trend of civilization has ak ways been westward," said Henry Watson Cornell in a lecture recently delivered before Portland Business Men, "since it crossed Asia to sweep through Europe. Immigration is now flowing West through the United States with irresistable force, but the Pacific Coast is the limit of this great tidal movement, and here will be found the greatest cities of the world. The solidity and substan- j tial character of Portland must im-' press any visitor, while the vast tri butary district of both Oregon and Washington represents greater wealth than can ever be taken from the gold mines of the continent." March 15th has been named by the judges of the Commercial Club's $5,000 contest as the date when their labors will probably be completed. It is proving an arduous task to judge the hundreds of papers submitted. CHARMS FOR LUCK. The $rt of Superstitions tome Wall Strait Mn Harbor.

EDITORIAL SALAD Surely President Roosevelt is not afraid of his own shadow? Else why is he so concerned about the many retrenchments by railroad corporations? Senator Stone's speech on the cur rency was ninety-nine parts partisan complaint to one part of constructive suggestion. The Bryan yell will ap pear when a plan for unlimited green backs is brought forth. News from the fleet at Callao: "The ships are all in excellent condition, the machinery and batteries in perfect order and the crew in first-class health." The slanderers of the navy had hoped for better things. The muckrakers assailing the American Navy are of the same class that raised a hullabaloo over the Pan ama Canal, and insisted that it would be nothing but a hole in the ground, where more than a billion would be wasted. These sensationalists quit when they run against facts. OPTIMISTIC MR. SCHWAB, Charles M.

PORTLAND, Ore. Mar. 2nd, 1908. The Executive Committee of the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents is meeting in Chi cago this week to decide upon the de tails of their convention this coming summer, to be held in Seattle. J. H. O'Neill, of Portland, is a member of this Committee, and when he left for the East last Friday carried with him a most cordial invitation from Port land Commercial Club to include at least a two days' sojourn in the "Rose City" in the itinerary of the Associa tion's Northwestern trip.

The quick relief that comes from the Hyomei treatment for catarrh is most remarkable. Put a few drops of liquid Hyomei in'' the little pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and before you have used the treat ment fo? five minutes you will notice relief from your catarrhal troubles. It gives a tonic healing effect to the air you breathe, kills all catarrhal germs, stops the poisonous secre tions, and soothes the irritated mu cous membrane. If you suffer from offensive breath, raising of mucous, frequent sneezing, husky voice, discharge from the nose, droppings in the throat, loss of strength, spasmodic coughing and feeling of tightness across the upper part of the chest, general weakness and debility, or any other symptoms of catarrh, you should begin to use Hyomei at once. It will destroy all disease germs in the nose, throat and lungs and make a quick and perma nent cure of catarrh. So strong is T. F.,Laurin's belief in the power of Hyomei to cure all catarrhal troubles that with every' $1.00 outfit he gives a guarantee to refund the money un less the remedy gives satisfaction.

"Not long ago some friends of mine got badly down on their luck. Times were so hard for them that they scarce ly knew which way to tarn for the necessities of life. "At that most inopportune time they received word from a woman friend of theirs that the was coming to visit them for a few days.

On all sides of btm men and women were abandoning themselves to excesses of enthusiasm, but bis cold neutral tinted eyes fol lowed tbe movements of tbe muddy figures on tbe gridiron without a trace of excltoment, tbougb tbey lost no de tail! of tbe play. "I beg your pardon"-Desbro' blgb pitched, nervous voice cut Incisively Into tbe throaty cheer of which the man nezt to him was delivering him self "but can you tell me who la tbe black balred man at tackle" "Babblngton," snapped the other shortly and turned again to bis cheep tag, while Desbro murmured courteous thanks. Turning a pair of fieldglasses upon the field, Desbro" watched tbe strug gling figures Intently for a few mo menta; then, laying tbe binoculars aside and lighting a cleorette, bo com. nienccd to tnlk to himself In a, low tone, oblivious of bis surroundings. "A matchless physique," he mutter ed; "poupled with a face which might have been Adnm's-ns devoid of the spark of intelligence as an ox's the very embodiment of the gtinio be Is playing." Hs Intent gaze, nqted a sudden con gestion of the, padded,, figures below lilru onil an eager crnulug of nocks from the scnts of the big stand. One of the opposing' plnyors lay stretched on the turf writhing In pain, wbllo a group of the visiting eleven's support ers leaned from their scats and point-, ed lmpotently accusing fingers at the man called Dabblngton, who stood looking down at the prostrate figure with bis bands on bis massive hips. A cold little sneer gathered about tbe corners of Desbro's mouth as he atched the incident. "What callousness," he exclaimed softly, "what savagely unconscious cal lousness! Is tbe man an anachronism or only a brute? Such simple minded awnnrrn for physical agony caused by one's own hands Is the marc oi mere coarseness or a throwback, "I must see more of this strange man," be told himself and walked to tbe gymnasium, where be sat for an hour gaslng at the celling with a preoccupied air. When Dabblngton's great bulk emerged from the door lead- Ing to the hatha an hour later, Desbro rose and walked to meet blm. "Mr. Babblngton?" be asked. Tbe other nodded. "My name Is Desbro," be went on rapidly, bis suddenly keen eyes search Ing tbe other's face. "I come from tbe same part of the country that you do, "NO,1 HfBWHRBS T8ffl IB WHAT I GAMBion."' and I thought possibly you might give me news of an old friend, Morton Harold Morton. Did you. happen to know him?", "Morton?"' he said slowly. "Morton? No, don't believe I know him." "Ah, of course," Desbrdf hastened to say, "I thought perhaps" And he wove a few sentences of easy fiction before turning abruptly on bis beel. A few hours Inter he sat In the bil liard room, of Jils fraternity bouse lis tening curiously to the tqlk,of the men which centered about the game of tbe afternoon. Tbe comments were all live ly, enthusiastic, on tbe team's chances, in the Individual prowess of the men, and constantly recurring In tbe bum of conversation was Itabblngton s name, "The finest type of a player tbe crop of new men has produced," a fair hair od man with a big voice called from I one end of tbe smoky room. "Right you arfr Desbro broke In luddenly Tbe men around tbe tables turned In astonishment for to have Desbro offer comment on matters of this nature was unusual. "Right you are, I say," be repeated, leaning back In his chair and survey ing tbe curious faces through h glasses. "This man is the very emooo lmcnt of tbe spirit fostered by this beautiful game of yours built for a human chopping block or battering ram, aa tbe case may demand! By the exertion of those muscles for which he Is no more responsible tban Thompson there for bis red hair he brings down on bis richly undeserving head the frenzied cheers of a sport erased crowd. lie sends a man less fortunate ly endowed physically than himself Into a few moments of unhappy obliv ion .and then grins at you with crass satisfaction wheu you cheer him not for himself or because bis name means anything, but simply for what be has done. "This Dabblngton comes out of no where," Desbro continued, "a grace less, coarse flbered clod, with a giant's strength and the broad ideas of a goat, hungry for notoriety of the sort his great muscles can command, and you pamper his cheap cravings with unc tion. You sit lnthe stands and shout yourselves hoarse while be is battering some poor fellow In the arena, and you will go furtbor. You will desire the rapture of this athletic Hon In spite of the fact that ho is a a social Impossi bility, and you will be crowding around trying to put your fraternity pins on his coat. Bah! "I talked with the man, looked into bis great, oxllfce eyes dea devoid or the spork of real life" The unfinished sentence broke abrupt ly, and every eye In the room followed Desbro's startled glance to the door way, whore, turning bis, cane in Ms hmuls and staring at the speaker with an expression wholly Indescribable, stood Dabblngton. For a moment there was the dead silence of 'utter 'embar rassment;'' then One by' one the mori turned to tbe tables, while Babblngton cleared bis throat and spoke. "I came to see If possibly I hadn't misunderstood you," be said, turning to Dosbro. "That name you mention ed was Morton, wasn't It?" Desbro, redder than any man had ever seen him, nodded without speaking.'-, v; "I thought possibly I hadn't under stood," Babblngton explained, backing swkwardlv out of the door, "and I did know a man nnrui-a tiorcou.' A few moments later Desbro passed the door of the billiard room, wearing the raincoat and slouch hat which be Invariably wore on tbe evening walks which were as much a part of his ex istence as bis meals. No man pretended to know the object of these nightly walks of Desbro's. To all Inquiries be responded that "they gave him a chance to think without In terruptlou." At tbe gate Desbro paused to light a cigarette, and tbe flare of the match as he shielded It from tbe snappy Oc tober wind brought his thin features Into prominence against tbe darkness. Babblngton, standing under a tree not a dosen yards away, turned as the sul phur sputtered and saw. Ills great hand clinched Instinctively Into a fist, and he had already taken a step for ward when Desbro turned and started quickly down the street Babblngton waited a few moments, then stepped lightly on to the sidewalk and followed, quietly at first and then without caution as Desbro paid no at tention to the footfalls behind him. He glanced now and then at the receding lights and then Increased tbe length of bis strides as Desbro's phrases' throb bed through his mind. "Social Impossibility!" be muttered, gritting bis teeth over tbe phrase. "I'll teach the little whelp!" Ills eyes never left the little spark which marked the other's position, but very time be started to close the gap between them something checked him. His thoughts refused to ruu to any but a given point a fierce desire to get his hands upon tho man who had held his Ignorance' up to a roomful of men while be stood and listened helplessly. As be hod Btood under the tree In front of the house he had felt only a sense of Impotcncy, of shame, a gulping feel ing of disappointment which was not easy to understand, a sickening realiza tion that some of Desbro's words bad rung true.' Block after block the man In front walked, turning now to the right and now to the left, sometimes walking rapidly and again idling along at a snail's pace. They passed through tbe business streets, lonely and deserted under the harsh glare of the arc lights. Here Desbro paused to talk with a po liceman with whom be seemed to be on excellent terms, and, turned sudden ly cold at the sight of the patrolman, Babblngton crossed the street and nearly lost bis man, who wheeled abruptly Into a dark side street Babblngton was conscious that a struggle bad commenced within him and that .the1- first beat of anger was passing. He grew ashamed of bis erowlnir cslmnoss. fearful lest the, cool ing Influence of the walK roo mm or tbe merited retaliation which ho knew his massive arms could administer. Desbro stopped abruptly to light an other cigarette, and his pursuer halted In the midst of a stride. For an in stant be paused irresolute, divided be tween tbe lingering desire to close his fingers on Desbro's neck and a sodden Impulse to run, to get away from ev erything, back to the life where other I men bad lived and talked like himself. The hotter sensation triumphed, and Babblngton had taken three quick, lithe steps toward his Victim when, si lent as the sbndows from which they sprang, a little knot of men threw themselves at Desbro. The shock of the attack not Only drove from Babbington's mind every vestige of his own wrath, but bereft him for an Instant of the power of mo tion, lie beard Desbro give a low exclamation- and saw bythe last flicker of tbe match the slight figure attempt ing to shield Itself by leaping behind an iron pole. In another Instant he found himself In the center or a press of struggling figures. He received blows and felt the impact of bis hand against flesh as he returned them. "Where are you, Desbro?", he shout ed. "Sing out."' "Here," came a choking voice from behind him, "quick!" A club struck Babbington's arm with a numbing shock, but he kicked the man who wielded It into Insensibility and the next Instant was tearing an other ruffian from off Desbro's pros train form. Two of tbe assailants lay on the ground, mere blotches In the darkness. The others bad disappeared. Desbro rose to Ids feet slowly and took a step toward bis rescuer. I say," be commenced, then stopped abruptly. "So this is the cheap coals of Ore' method yon pursue, Is it?" he continued, with a sneer. A sudden easy smile passed over Babbington's face. "No," be answered shortly; "this Is what I came tor," and be struck Des bro squarely In the face, felling him Instantly. For an Instant tbe knowledge of the strength In his great muscles fright e&ed btm, nnd he leaned over Desbro anxious!?. Satisfied that be had struck, no harder tban he Intended, be leaned against the Iron post panting from bis exertions. Tbe two roughs on the ground recovered their senses and scuttled off into the night He could hear Desbro's watch ticking and kept track of tbe seconds for two full min utes. Then he noticed that the fallen man was bareheaded and puttered about ou bis hands and knees In the dead leaves and the filth of the gutter until l found Dnshro'a hat "Can you walk?" ne asKea snoruy. The disheveled figure nodded, and In silence tbey made their way back through the deserted streets. In front of the fraternity house tbey separated without words, Desbro gave up his nightly walks for a week and was seen but little oatside his room. He explained his marred cheek and a stiffness in one leg by a fall through a broken crossing. "Going to make another character study or the game, Desbro r Desbro shook his bead and smiled "I'm continuing one," be answered shortly. It was with a more Interested, lessl coldly critical expression that he fol lowed tbe movements of tbe men On the white striped field beneath blm. The problem confronting the varsity team as a different one from that which Desbro had watched on the first occasion, for Instead of feeble oppo nents who would only afford them good practice they faced an eleven of their own class. v From the first the enemy's tactics had been obvious. Tbey realized that In Babblngton there was a living oppo sition which barred all progress to tbe varsity's goal line, and toward the wearing down of his great strength they had directed their efforts. Men. had been led to the side lines pale and bleeding, and the list of the visitors' substitutes was diminished, but still Babblngton formed the center of every attack and was the rock about which split the enemy's onslaughts. It was not a showy exhibition, but It was a splendid piece of physical stamina, and the great crowd was appreciative. They saw that Babbington's endurance would make victory possible, and they rose In a great wall of color and cheer ed him furiously. "Babblngton! Babblngton!" Close to the goal poets Babblngton raised his great frame from the tangle of the last attack which had shattered Its force upon htm and faced the shout ing crowds. Slowly he raised a huge fist and shook It In the face of the mul titude, which grew wonderlngly silent "Curse you," he shouted, and the sound of his hoarse voice carried to every part of the stands, "leave my name alone?! Desbro smiled quietly. "In the term soclal impossibility,' he muttered, "I was guilty of gross In justice." v When the whistle sounded the end of the half, he scrambled down from his seat, climbed the wirefence inclosing the field and walked toward Babblng ton, who, with hanging head, was talking slowly toward the side lines. Will you shako bands, Babblngton? ls asked, smlllne j

Here is the reason given in his own words by Mr. Cooper when interviewed on the subject. He said: "The immense numbers of people who are calling on me here in Bos ton is not unusual. I have, had the same experience for the past two years wherever I have gone. The rea son is a simple one. It is because my medicine puts the stomach in good condition. This does not sound un usual, but it is in fact the key to health. The stomach is the very foundation of life. I attribute 90 per cent of all sickness directly to the stomach. "Neither animals nor men can re main well with a poor digestive ap paratus. Few can be sick with a digestion in perfect condition. As a matter of fact, most men and women today are half-sick. It is because too much food and too little exercise have gradually forced the stomach into a half-sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was,, and that is all that is necessary," i Among Boston people who are staunch believers in Mr, Cooper's theory, it Mr, Frank D, Brown! of 57, BlooniiiiKdule street, Chclaea, Mais. He says "For five years I have sought re lief for indigestion, stomach trouble and dpspepsia, spending nearly my wages with doctors and obtaining no results. I had dull pains across my back, radiating to the shoulders, I had spitting headaches, which nothing seemed to cure. There was a gnaw ing and rumbling in my stomach and bowels. I was troubled with vertigo and dizziness, and at times almost overcome by drowsiness. "I felt tired and worn out all the time, my sleep was not refreshing, and I would get up in the morning feeling as weary as when I went to bed. My appetite, was variable rav enous at times, then again nauseated at the sight of food. Sometimes my face was pale, at other times flushed. I was constipated and bilious, and had catarrhal affection in nose and throat, which caused me to hawk and spit a great deal, especially in the morning. I heard so much of the Cooper remedies that I decided to try them. After taking one bottle a tape worm 50 feet long passed from my system. I felt better almost imme diately. All my troubles disappeared as if by magic, and my improvement was rapid. I now feel entirely well, and can honestly recommend Mr. Cooper's medicine to anyone who suf fers as I did." We sell the Cooper medicines which give universal satisfaction. Chas Rogers Son,

The matter wat cloed about a year ago, the wife having ccured her decree, and the motion to et aside was interposed by the husband., It was ably argued by the gentlemen at bar, Messrs. A. M. Smith, for the husband, and Mr. Murphy, of Port land, for the lady. Kind Wordi Still The latest Issue of the Willapa Harbor Pilot contain the following pleasant comment anent the Astor ian' recent special edition: "The Morning Attorian last Sunday Issued a handsome 32 page 'Investor and Home-Seeker' Edition' which it one of the most attractive special editions that ha come to our table In many months. The form and make-up i pleasing, the press-work excellent, the cut numerous and interesting attractive and the tubject matter well and interestingly written. The many natural advantages of Astoria and ihe surrounding country are convinc ingly et forth and the edition should prove a splendid advertisement for the community." A Busy Place Clatsop's beautiful court house was a scene of activity yesterday; the sheriffs force were deeply engrossed with the reception of tax monies pouring in by mail and from the hosts of personal visitors that flocked there steadily all day long; and the hall and corridors and offices resounded to the hummer of the expert work men putting up the fine new furniture that ha Just arrived, the sheriff, treasurer's, and county clerk's offices being particularly in line of embellish mcnt on this score yesterday. The new oak desks, counter and fixture, with their white .marble plates and bate, make a handsome and bar moniou finish to the structure and will last the life of the building it elf.

Just what the nature of the formal charge is to be ha not yet been announced by the district at torney's office. Distinguished Guests Among the visiting Knights of Columbus on Sunday last were noted, Hon. John B. Coffey, representative from Multnomah in the Oregon Leg islature, .and Rev. Father Lane, of Albany, fate of this city, and highly I respected here. Alderman Drucoll of the Portland council, wa also pre sent, and was gladly greeted on all sides by old friends in Astoria.

Pomeroy and his as Utants. four alt told, yesterday is sued 180 receipts to the tax-paying public, and took in the round sum of $10,000,, a "right smart", beginning for this particular line of work. And It i very suggestive of the amount of work these men will have to do in the next fourteen days. It was a rousing piece of work, when com pared with the first day of Mult nomah's tax collections which began a month ago, when Sheriff Srevcns, with 25 clerk only handed out 300 receipts. Meeting Night Changed There were a number of .people asking why the Chamber of Com merce held no meeting last night, hot knowing, apparently, that the meet ing? nights of that body have been changed to the second and fourth Monday night in each month in stead of the first and third. It is an excellent idea, and gives the dozen or more prominent citizens who are members of the Common Council as well as of the Chamber, an opportun ity to attend the latter and take part in public business: in which they are all interested to a greater or lesser extent. Well Known Here The sad newt reach this city yes tcrday of the death at Salem, Oregon, of the Hon. Tilinon Ford, one of the leading lawyer of the Wilamette valley and a member of one of the pioneer families of the State.

A Bad Bog-Down A heavy truck, laden with fijel oil, bogged down at the intersection of Eishth and Astor yesterday forenoon and was several hours in extricating itself from an ugly position. It took two or three teams to work it back to terra firma. Pleasure and Profit The coming of the Portland Knights of Columbus to this city, on Sunday last, 150 strong, via the fine steamer T. J. Potter, proved to be one of the features of the season hereabout. Just as the Morning As toria published the schedule for the day and night, so it went, happily and successfully, the new council, As toria, No. 1307, was instituted with 50 members, insurance, and social, and starts on its career under the brightest auspices.

6 :j.T?T?iV?TV!XVWmr THE MORNING ASTORIAN. ASTORIA, OREGO N. TUESDAY. MARCH S, 1909. By Advice of a Lawyer, h' i '0 I I er, and Lawyer Taylor weut Dae n his office ami rcalinni that he bad had hia chance and was not equal to the occasion. M. QUAD. The clrcoa and menagerie of Jonea 3 ones was comma that way. The greater part of its menagerie consisted of the elephant Abdul, and Abdul had become old and Irritable and no longer aw things with the frlsklnesa of other cays. He was being most carefully .watched when the show arrived at Oementsvllle. The season had not been profitable one for Jones Jones. They had had to offer SO cents on the dollar to their creditors at the last three stands, and ,when the exhibition at Clementsvllle was over they could not pay certain farmers for oats, hay end straw. One of the farmers, and the largest cred itor, refused to take a note of band. Gift claim was for 140, and he rushed 4e see a lawyer about It Mr. Taylor was the lawyer. The two or three oth ers in town happened to be out of their .offices. The great opportunity had eome at last The fourteen years of .waiting was to be repaid. "lour claim is good, and all we bare .to do la to attach something," was the lawyer's announcement "As the ele phant is the biggest and most valuable thing they have, we wU attach him. ,The circus must have him. It wont more on without him. lour case will fee settled within an boor after we at itachMm." The elephant was attached. There (was a lank and disconsolate looking cassowary with the show, but he was passed by. There was a lonely and de jected dromedary, with lis lonely and dejected humps, but that attachment .was not for him. Abdul was the vic tim and was duly attached. The constable saw the farmer cred itor, and arrangements were made to take Abdul out to the farm. He flg ared that he was going to get a soft thing, and, much to the astonishment of the circus folk, he went along In a contented manner and fit "y brought ap In the farmer's barn. Then the real history of the case began. Jones ft Jones left town with smiles on their faces. That meant that the suit would have to be adjourned when called. That meant that It would be ultimately decided in the farmer's favor and that he would find himself with an elephant on his hands. Ee found that out even within the first hour. Abdul wanted from three to five bar- rels of water to wet his throat It took an hour to bring it from the house. Then he wanted a Quarter ot a ton of the best hay to eat and the same amount to toy with as he stood up to meditate and feel sorry for those elephants that were still knocking around the country. Night had not yet come when he took a fancy to a certain beam In the barn and wrapped als trunk around It and pulled it from Its. place and used it for a baseball bat Then he tore out the manger and used the slivers for toothpicks and went to bed happy. The farmer con sulted the lawyer again, and the law yer was primed with information. Be had been making elephants a study for the last four hours. Tea, all the cost of Abdul's keep and all the damage be did while in the hands of the law would be assessed on Jones Jones when the case was de cided against them, as It surely must be. Just go right back home and give that elephant whatever he wanted and It would be all right" Abdul had been chained on the open floor of the barn. On the second day of bis stay he broke bis chains and pulled a ton of hay from the mow and walked over it until it was hardly fit to bed the bogs with. He wanted a small drink, and when the farmer cut him off with five bar rels of water he trumpeted until he scared farmers for two miles around and then beoke up the fanning mill, the corn shelter and some stray boards and beams. The lawyer was notified, and he came riding out to the farm on a bike to say: "Very irregular and improper on the part of Abdul, but of course Jones Jones will settle. They must settle. They must have him with their show." On the third day Abdul demanded seven barrels of water, half a ton of hay and most of the pumpkins grow ing on the farm and then broke down the doors and piled the fragments In a neat heap and set out on a voy age of discovery. He discovered the smokehouse and chicken coop and dai ry house and upset them. He discover ed the family well and yanked the 'pump out by the roots and threw it over the house. He discovered the house itself and smashed all the win dows and doors. Then he passed into the orchard and pulled up twenty-one big apple trees to show that he was no bluffer. He had leveled forty rods of fence and torn down a wagon sbed and tossed a reaper and mower sky high when he decided, to seek the shade of the cool forest On his way there he entered a big mudhole to take a bath and met his fate by drowning. The lawyer' came out and said that Abdul's proceedings could be legally criticised, but that there was no ques tion as to ,how,thftsult.-would go. There w wasn't Jones Jones came back and won It and made the county pay tbem f 7,000. for the loss of their elephant while in the hands of a duly elected constable. And then Jones Jones, the clown, the bareback riders, the tight rope walker and other circus neonie smfled and wissd at escS otn- EC2EMA NOW CURABLE. All Itching Skin Diseases Which Are Not Hereditary Instantly Reliev ed by Oil of Wintergreen. Can Eczema be cured? Some physicians say "Yes," Some say "No." The real question is, "What is meant by Eczema?" If you mean those scaly eruptions, those diseases which make their first appearance, not at birth, but years afterward, and per haps not until middle age then there can no longer be any question that these forms of Eczema are curable. Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen. mixed with other vegetable ingred ients, will kill the germs that infest the skin. Apply this prescription to the skin, and instantly that awful itch is gone. The very moment the liquid is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing itch disappears, and continued appli cations of this external remedy soon cure the disease. We carry in stock this oil of win tergreen properly compounded into D. D. D. Prescription. While we are not sure that it will cure all those cases of skin trouble which are in herited, we positively know that this D. D. D. Prescription, whenever rightly used, will cure every last case of genuine Eczema or other skin trouble, which did not exist at birth. We know this. Anyway you, your self, will know that D. D. D. Pre scription instantly takes away the itch the moment it is applied to the skin. Chas. Rogers Son, druggists. Stop that itch today instantly.

Frequently laymen who have had oc casion to settle the bills of surgeons upon whom they have called in ex tremities to use the knife are heard to complain against what they call the exorbitant charges of surgeons." A skilled surgeon may charge "$2o0 for a simple appendicitis operation. The patient who never thinks of com plaining until he is convalescent ob jects oftentimes to paying the bill. He says, "It Is outrageous for a sur geon to charge $250 for half an hour's work. 1 The question of surgeons' fees often puzzles a patient He knows of one man upon whom a surgeon. of wide reputation has operated and charged only $75. He may know of another whohaa paid SI, 000 for the same op eration. 1 He cannot figure it out Yet surgeons of known ability and national, perhaps International, fame have a general plan in charging for operations. Their prices range from nothing to $3,000. They will operate without any question of willingness or ability to pay in any case where the situation is imperative. Afterward they will present the bill. The genera! public does not understand how a sur geon will charge one man $50, anoilic: $250 and another $5,000. f Surgeons have a fixed price scheme They aim to charge the patient about one month's income. They figure that any person who is In such bad condi tion as to be forced to submit to a Burglcal operation surely can afford t) give one month's Income. They ascer tain roughly what a man makes per month and send In a bill for that amount The man whose Income In but $50 a month pays $50. The man who gets $5,000 is asked to pay $5,000 and generally objects, even though be should know that his life is worth as much proportionately as that of his poorer fellows-Chicago Tribune.

That men an occupation docs exint how ever was brought to light this week by the institution of legal proceedings looking1 to the recovery of the stipul ated sum from a certain nobleman to whom money had been advanced but who after capturing a bride with mil lions refused to repay his backer. Recent alliances between American millions and foreign titled poverty have brought this matter into the linelight to such an extent that a re presentative In this state is even draughting bill to impose an extre mely heavy tax on all fortunes mar ried out of this country. Coming on top of this bill the revelation show ing that at least one genius has gam bled on the success of needy noble men in winning wealthy brides here has caused more than a little feeling.

At the person who advanced the money was extremely careful of hit risks, select ing them only after investigation, all went merrily until at last an ungrate ful foreigner conveniently "forgot" his obligations although the money advanced had enabled him to main tain his station in such a manner as to win a wealthy bride. At a result of his forgetfulnest the matter has been made public and interesting developments may be expected con cerning the manner in which certain International marriages have been made possible. For one day this week New Y ork, for the first time in the memory of the oldest ir.habit.ant, was without a head to its government; that is with out a Mayor. Not only was Mayor McClctlan out of the city but also every other official authorized to fill his office in case of emergency. The law curiously enough provides for a succession of only three officers and with these all absent, no means, how ever pressing the need could furnish a successor who could legally fill the office of Mayor. In spite of the fact that it had no head to its government the city survived without accident. Probably not one hundred persons knew of the situation until it was past' 5 i Given up to Die. B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia street, Evansville. Ind., writes: "For over five vears I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no Rood and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle save me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured." Whv not let it help you? T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store.

He handed me an envelope. I glanc ed at it and the thought struck me that he was up to some wrong. He looked like an anarchist and I grab bed his arms and called to my wife who was in another room. When she ran into the hallway I said: "Mother, see if this man has a revol ver? she felt id one of his back pock ets' and said he had. I tried to hold him with one hand and draw my re volver with the other, but he jerked away and fell against the door. I caught him again and while we were struggling, my son, who was up stairs, startedto my aid. He was only a few steps from the bottom of the stairs when the man. freed one hand, drew his revolver and fired two shots at Harry. Then Foley, who had been summoned by my daughter, stepped into the hallway and the man shot him. The anarchist kicked my wife to one side and by this time I had secured my revolver and both Foley and I opened fire. At my first shot, which struck him in the head, he fell I fired three more, one in his head and two in his body. Two of Foley's shots also struck the as sassin." Both the chief and Mrs. Shippy assert that the life of the former was saved by the bravery of their son. The young man who is a student at Culver Military Academy, is 18 years old. He was borne because of illness and hastened to his father's aid when he heard the struggle in the hall. "The man had drawn a great knife and had plunged at my husband," said Mrs. Shippy this afternoon. "The knife was drawn back ready for another blow when Harry struck the man's hand, knocking the weapon to the floor. The man kicked me and the shots came, Harry falling, and I saw blood on his chest. He exclaim ed, 'Papa, I'm shot!' but he saved his fathers' life." "I might have been shot and kill ed if my boy had not come to my as sistance." said the chief. "Mother was too terrified to do anything. She was helpless as soon as she felt the revolver in the man's pocket." One of the places" raided by the police after the' shooting was the headquarters of a society known as "Edelstadt Group" at 42 Union street. Pictures of Herr Most and other well known anarchists were confiscated as were about 1000 hand bills announc ing a series of meetings at which Emma Goldman is scheduled to speak. The library, a short distance away, was also invaded by the police and several hundred pamphlets dealing with anarchy and kindred subjects were seized. LATER. The would-be assassin of Chief Shippy was identified tonight as Lazarus Averbuch, who lived with his sister at 218 Washburn avenue. He was a Russian student about 22 years old. He came to America from Aus tria about three months ago and had heen here about three weeks. The plan to kill Shippy is believed to be the direct result of the latter's inter ference of a parade of the unemployed several weeks ago. present moment iniquity abounds throughout the land and is unchecked by quick and proper punishment. We speak of America as a land of oppor tunity but we find that graspers of of the population now own more than one half of the wealth of the coun try." One great cause of crime, he de clared, was the public tolerance of saloons, gambling houses and houses of ill repute. Dean Hart said that a remedy for existing evil was teaching of religion in public schools. LATEST P. 0. S. r President Hawgood Dealing With Seaside. FIFTEEN MILES IS PROMISED Fair Proposition Made to the Coast Resort Astoria Will Have to Put up Rights-of-Way Time to Get in on the Scheme. JOINS FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEW YORK, Mar. Z-Brig Gen. Jos. Stephens Adams of the Austro- Hungarian army is soon to become a member of the local fire department not because he needs the money but to get experience for the benefit of the fire department at home which comes under his jurisdiction. At present Gen.' Adams is attached to the fire department of Philadelphia. Gen. Adams is armed with creden tials from Hungary. The fire depart ment at Buda Pest is under his im mediate direction. Besides the reg ular horse-pulled engines in Buda Pest there are some twenty of more electric propelled engines which can be driven through the streets of the city at the rate of 80 miles an hour.1 Portland, March 1, 190& Hon. W. S. Henninger, Mayor, Seaside, Oregon: President Hawgood answers from Los Angeles, my tele gram of yesterday, as follows: "Company's executive commit tee, before acceding to your request to withdraw terminus from Seaside, asks Seaside committee to telegraph imme diately whether or not Seaside people guarantee absolutely to secure rights of way for four miles, 32 acres in all, before ISth April, so as to commence construction at Seaside April 30th; all deeds to be deposited in escrow with Mayor of Sea side and Daniel Moore, trus tees, and to be delivered after railway shall have constructed 15 miles in the direction of the Nehalem river.

"Oh, I must haye beenl Your aunt wouldn't have let another man in." Judge. Chaliapine' has sailed for Europe :.i'ter kindly informing us that we are so wrapped up in business that we know little about music. If the re ports as to his pay are true, Chalia pine seems to understand both. Women should understand that melancholia, commonly called "the blues," is in nine times out of ten a sure symptom of some serious female organic derangement and should have immediate attention. Women whose spirits are depressed, and who are ailing and miserable, should rely upon LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND as is evidenced by following letters. Mrs. F. Ellsworth, of Mayville. N. Y, writes to Mrs. Piiikham For three rears I was in an awful despondent and nervous condition caused by female troubles. I was not contented anywhere, and wasjn such constant fear that something terrible was going to happen that it seemed as though I should lose my mind. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored my health, and I cannot say enough for it." Mrs. Mary J. Williams, of Bridge port, 111., writes to Mrs. nnkhara: "l have been suffering from a female trouble, backache and headaches, and was so blue that I was simply indespair. I feel it my duty as well as my pleasure to tell you that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me. The change In my appearance is wonderful, and I wish every suffering woman would try it" FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Cdmpound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache. Why don't you try it ricd out, will give an impetus to that enterprise, that Astoria cannot afford to overlook. According to Mr. Reed, in a com munication just at hand, if Astoria wants the line within her borders, she must contribute the right-of-way hither, or at least to a waterfront on Young's Bay. And, he continues, if Seaside decides to build a "Chinese wall" around the project, also, and will not allow the company to build from there to the Nehalem on the basis suggested, the Hawgood people will build, this spring, from the Wil lamette Valley, in a northwesterly direction, to Jewell, or Elsie, in this county, and thence down the lower Nehalem Bay, and to Astoria. If the pending Seaside offer is ac cetped and the road starts out from there, it intends to rely on the Killingsworth Law, of 1905, to get into this city over the tracks of the A. C. end of the Northern Pacific system; and anticipates conclusions! with a strong opponent in lumber! and other staples; the shorter haul into Seaside from the Nehalem for ests, giving the Seaside milling con cerns a huge advantage over the As toria plants as to cost of handling and quicker and cheaper delivery. The Astorian is not in a position to forecast the result of President Hawgood's last despatch in the premise; but it may suggest that from the c61or of things as represented by Mr. Reed, it is time Astoria Was taking hold of this proposition and doing something very tanglible with in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may 1 invaluable if taken at tho roiifnmi:, vo Svrun Co. ftfls that it is alike important to present foct axat ve remedy whlcn tins won theappoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to nil, and the original method ol manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
