Then Mrs. Williams declared, the man walked coolly away in the direction of the "Inlet," which is at the upper end of Atlantic City.

LIST OF QUESTIONS SENT A Smile All the While Kinship of the Monopolist to the Highway Robber. 4 J J By WILLIAM J. BRYAN. I I INSIST that the commandment "Thou shalt not steal" applies as much to the monopolist as to the highway man, and we shall not make any material progress in the protection of the people from private monopolies until we are prepared to obliterate THE LINE THAT SOCIETY HAS DRAWN BETWEEN THE ORDINARY THIEF AND THE LARGER CRIMINAL WHO HOLDS UP SOCIETY AND PLUNDERS THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF PRIVATE-" MO NOPOLY. The man who 6tandi by the wayside and, holding a revolver to your head, demands your money or your life is no more a criminal, measured by every moral standard, than the man who, obtaining con trol of a nation's fuel, collects a tribute from every householder, offering him the alternative of payment or suffering from lack of fire. It is entirely possible that very many of those who enjoy the benefits of monopoly some as managers, some as directors" and some merely as stockholders are unconscious of the principle involved, UNCONSCIOUS OF THE MORAL CHARACTER OF THEIR CONDUCT, but surely this is an opportune time to impress upon the conscience of the nation the real moral character of the conduct of the monopolist And it is not sufficient that we shall appeal to the conscience of i i; i .1 Ti a. i i- uia luuuupouai uvuv. xi uiguwajiunn were w engage a jawver 10 follow i fdw rods behind him with a horse that he might have a ready means of escape after having committed an act of robbery, we would call the lawyer a party to the erime, and we would visit upon him the same punishment visited upon the principal in the robbery, and so if Borne one living near the spot where the robbery was committed fur nished the robber with a change of clothing or, in return for a part of the booty, conspired with him to conceal the booty until suspicion was past, such a one could not escape legal responsibility for the crime. it n and yet it 13 considered quite respectable today for the legal representatives of predatory wealth to vi8it State capitals and national capitals and prevent the ENACTMENT OF LAWS INTENDED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM PRIVATE MONOPOLIES, AND IT IS EVEN MORE RESPECTABLE FOR THE SALARIED ATTORNEYS OF THESE MONOPOLIES TO FOL LOW CLOSE AFTER THE OFFENDERS AND FURNISH THEM HORSES IN THE WAY OF LEGAL TECHNICALITIES UPON WHICH TO ES CAPE FROM PUNISHMENT.

HONORS FOR ATHLETES. On the Stability of Character. By President HADLEV of Yale. 'VERY day and every hour we have to be making choices. Sometimes the matter to be decided is one like the choice of a profession, which will affect our whole future life and which demands months of careful thought. Sometimes it is a mere trivial choice of what we shall eat or drink, what we shall say or do for our amusement, which is settled upon the instant and -then forgotten. This principle we call a man's philosophy of life. A CHILD CAN PERHAPS GET ON WITHOUT SUCH A PHILOS OPHY, CONTENT TO DECIDE EACH QUESTION UNDER THE CON TROLLING IMPULSE OR CONTROLLING FORCE OF THE MOMENT. A MAN CANNOT, AT LEAST NOT UNLE83 HE 18 CONTENT TO REMAIN INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY A CHILD. HE CANNOT ACT ON ONE PRINCIPLE AT ONE MOMENT AND ANOTHER PRIN CIPLE AT ANOTHER MOMENT AND EXPECT ANYBODY TO TRUST HIM. V".' He wfll have no stability of character. Nay, if we are to define character as the habit of doing the same thing under different circum stances, he will be destitute of ch.iracter itself. Prophecy of Prosperity For Year 1910.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGOtf TO TALK WITH BY SKYSCRAPER EUROPE E PLANS TO UTILIZE WORDS THROUGH TALL BUILDINGS I JOR THAT PURPOSE. DANGEROUS HOUR OF THE DAY Origin of Nam "Tenderloin" Re calledInvention (or the Eman clpation of Husbands Other Notes I of Intereit I NEW YORK, Auk. 28, A novel esc lint been discovered for the lofty I'cnk of N'ew York' latent skyscrap er, the Metropolitan tower, which this veck resulted the 700-foot elevation which in to be the limit of hi ascent. Up under the circle of electric light at the very tip of the tower small cop per wirci project. These lead down to a station on the, roof of tjie main building, thirty stories btJow, nd ter minate there in an apparatus by which Pr. Dc Forest and .other scientists who have equipped the laboratory ex pect to talk across the ocean. The othcV terminus of this wireless tele- phone line is the Edffcl Tower In Pa ris, the only structure, in the world taller than the New York skyscraper. Between these two loftiest structural peaks in the world it is expected that messages will be transmitted In the course of another year with as great ease as wireless telegraphic messages are sent now between distant points From the summit of the great tower It is proposed also to talk with the various ocean liners on their way ac ross the Atlauic, All this of course is la the future, but distances that have already been covered by wireless tele phone messages have convinced the scientific gentlemen who are experi menting with this new force that the only thing necessary to enable them to converse across the Atlantic is suf ficient elevation which is adimrably provided by the great towers of Man: Italian. This city has now established an u nlquc record-nothing less than the compiling of a timetable showing the hours during which burglars and hold lip men can most successfully ply their trade. The most dangerous as well as the darkest hour of the twenty-four in -New York has just ben indicated by the leakage of certain clOscly guar ded data from the Department of Wa ter and Light of the city. This hour in which the city is in utter darkness so far as street lighting is concerned "lias already ben dubbed the "burglar's hour." By a curious arrangement be twen the city government and the cor poration which lights the streets, there is something more than an hour every night during the summer months when the streets are unlighted. More than ninety percent of the atrcet robberies which take place in the city occur dur ing this hour, but heretofore just when that hour was clue has been unknown. Now that it has become public the po lice are fearful of a large increase of crimes. Thanks to the leakage of the lighting table "strong arm" men throughout the city have now official notification of the hours during which their trade may be, plied most, advan tageously.' During August, for ex- ample, the announcement of these fi-j gures showed that the time for hold up men to get busy was from 3.37 A.

Sunday Evening, Aug. 30 ASTORIA THEATRE Prices M. to 4,37 P. M. From mouth to month the f hour changes somewhat according to the coming of daylight, but thanks to tlie publication or tins tlmetuhle New York has now achiev ed the record of being the first city to compile what amounts to a guide for the benefit of burglars. A catastrophe that threatened to cast gloom upon the patrons of rail road eating housse and quick lunch establishments, was narrowly averted here this week. A convenion of mas ter bakers and amalgamated pie ar tits in solemn conclave assembled un itcrtook the task of revising the histo ric form of the doughnut It was as crtcd with much earnest eloquence that the cost of manufacture had in creased to such a degree of culinary commerce at three for five unless some radical changes in their construction were adopted. The delegates were agree upon this point, but the conven tion split wide open in the question of how the change was to be accomplish ed.' One party wanted to decrease the circumference of the doughnut as a whole, while another section of equal numbers insisted that the proper change was an increase in the size pf the hole which Would enable two doughnuts to be, manufactured from the material formerly required for one. The news of this proposal caused (al mot panic among the members of tlie Optimists Club, wfiose'motto of "Look at the doughnut, not at the hole" would have been made ridicu lous by the projected transformation. Ultimately the deadlock was broken by "Sinkers" Murphy who has been serving doughnuts on Park Row for twenty-five years. He suggested that the object sought could be accom plished most easily by making the re tail rate two for five and this plan was adopted. Another measure of econo my proposed was the leaving off of the upper crust of all pics, but a long headed delegate pointed out that sales would be seriously affected if custo mers were enabled to see the inner contents of the pies set before them. The most famous police structure in New York, not even excepting "head quarters," passed into history this week when the old Tenderloin station was abandoned. In this precinct which included the hotel and thea tre section of the city and the gay re sorts which make up the "Brightlight District" more police reputations were lost and more police, fortunes made than in any other part of New York in the palmy days of organized po lice grafting. On the evening when the last platoon of bluecoats were turned out from the old building and before its doors were finally closed many men now occupying high posi tions in the police department dropped in to say farewell to scenes of their earlier service on the force. As they chatted together one of them told the story o' the naming of the precinct as the "Tenderloin" a name that has gone all over the country and one that pro bably will continue to be applied to this section of New York long after the last brick of the old building has disappeared. According to this storjr the name was conferred by Inspector Williams, known to an earlier genera tion as "Clubber" Williams. On be ing assigned to the precinct which was recognized as affording wonderfully rich pickings Williams is related to have said "I've been downtown here eating chuck steak for a good many years but now I'm going up where I can get tenderloin." No-more striking illustration of the change between old and new police methods could be found than the contrast betwen the dark, dingy old station and the new structure that takes its place, equip ped with shower batlis, exercise and recreation rooms, a garage for the 25c, 50c, 75c I precinct automobile and other eviden cvs of a more sanitary and a more luxurious regime.

III Health Prevented Young Woman From Marrying. CHICAGO, Aug. 28 It became known today that Miss Maylcld Wemc, who committed suicide by walking into Lake Michigan at. the foot of 57th Street yesterday, was de spondent because an illness that was largely imaginary prevented her mar riagc to a devoted sweetheart. A search of her room disclosed brief farewell message to her father, and the. man she had hoped to marry, George Mansfield, a traveling sales man of El Paso, Texas. 4 Miss Wcrne had often threatened "To jump into the lake if she was not soon sufficiently recovered to marry George." The girl graduated from a private seminary in El Paso and broke down from overstudy some months ago. Since the death of her mother here a year ago, the young woman, just past her 21 st birthday spent much of her time with her sister, Mrs. E. "French, at El Paso, Texas t It was a young girl, several years ago that she first fell in love with Mansfield., ,Her- relatives, approved the match, but prevented a wedding ceremony from taking place last spring because of her mental condi tion. This, it is said, aggravated her ailment. In the hope that change would improve her condition she was sent to another sister, Mrs. Volney Bryan, at Louisville, Ky., the place of her birth.

"I have cleaned up $150,000' since Governor Hughes signed the anti betting bill," said he, while comment ing on the fact that he was not oper ating at the city track since his talk with Sheriff Lane on Wednesday. "AH of my business was on the credit system. I took only oral bets. I had good luck, but I would have made $50,000 more if some of my .patrons had settled their markers with me." SAVE BOY'S, LEG. New York Surgeons Sew Splintered Bone With Silver Wire, NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-Another extraordinary feak in surgery has been performed by Harlem Hospital sur geons when, to save the leg of Leon Garroden, six years' old, from ampu tation, the surgeons drilled holes through the bone of the broken mem ber and drew the ragged and splin tered edges together with silver wire, Lgon had broken his leg in two places by a fall down stairs. v The child was on the operating table for an hour and a quarter, but according to the surgeons he is none the worse for his trying experience.

At any event tney was concerned. It rained torrent, at intervals, all day long, and the down pours timed themselves flagrantly and persistantly, with the calling of the best events of the day,' ashore and afloat. Yet, in spite of all handicaps, the day was happily spent by, thou sands in watching the gamcy work of the committees and contributors in pulling-off the specialties set forth in the program of the second Regatta ilav. The bay was lively with swift craft of all 'sizes and builds and the races came off, if not quite punctually, yet with fair timeliness and certain spirit which the idling crowds appreciated and encored handsomely at each clev er turn. Governor Chamberlan went on board the flagship Heather in time to personally start the championship single hell races yesterday morning and'enjoyed the hospitality of Cap tain Byrne and Admiral Shepherd until noon, when he came ashore and took marked interest in the events billed for indulgence there. Up to a late hour last evening it was not possible to get the scores on the races and events of the day as the committee in charge of these mat ters had not been, able to close them up in time for the morning' press, so they will be given in these columns tomorrow morning in their entirety. must realize that their work has been thoroughly appreciated. The water events yesterday were lively, and all charged with Regatta spirit; the races, big and little, shell, canoe, tub, launch, sloop, fishboat all went off with snap and vigor, and the funmakine stunts off the grandstand, the greased pole, foot-log work, wa ter-ball, etc., were frequent and laugh able and vastly enjoyed. While up town the ever-shifting crowds dodged the interminable showers and hunted the frail shelters of the "midway, as much for refuge as for entertainment, and found both on all side; and when it rained so that even this recourse was vain, the people went to the res taurants and threatres and such dryer resorts as were available, and man aged, in some way, or other, to jolly the day away in sport and .mutual good humor. Happily the night was clear of rain through the hours devoted to the grand marine parade and this offered a compensating spectacle to the thou sand on the docks and at the grand stand. It was. as it always is, the crowning glory of the Astoria regatta season. There is nothing to compare with it for charm and real beauty; and last night was not sort of excep tion to the rule. The Heather, Col umbine, Major Guy Howard, Lurline morrow muimug fi The, weather was far too unpropi-Jand scores of lesser craft swung over tious to admit of Queen Hattie ap- parlsg at large to and with the peo ple and she did all that might be ex pected in this behalf, for the rain was persistant and drenching nearly the whole day long. Last evening the dainty young Queen was the guest of the officers of the forts at the mouth of the river, on board the post steam er Major Guy Howard, with her maids and court, and twice during the day she was at the grandstand, but -was forced to relinquish the throne on account of the downpour. De Caprio's splendid band did much to dispel the gloom of the hours by the beautiful programs rendered in their inimitable style. The very able leader and his able corps of players may not have heard one-tenth of the derer and Hndly things that have teen said of the band since its arrival here, but much has been said, frank ly and generously, and may be made the ctv channel -course in brilliant array, with an accompaniment of magnificent fireworks, and for two hours every soul in jhe city who get to the waterfront, was there, enjoying it to the utmost. The day was genuinely successful and lacked only a bit more sunshine to make it perfect. And if there is anything in the concentrated power of universal thought, as expressed in the hopes for today, this should be the banner day of the festival.

Taken, by, and large, the Regatta, has been wonderfully successful, and those who are responsible for it, are to be heartily commended for the pluck and skill with which it has been handled, despite the' discourag ing weather. In the marine parade last night prizes were awarded as follows: For the most attractive decorated craft afloat, without regard to kind or size: First prize, the Lurline, and second to the Columbia. Steamers of all. kinds and sizes: First prize to the Major Guy Howard, with second to the Electro.

BABY SHOW. j Despite torrential rains that were almost uninterrupted during the en tire progress of the event; with a very comfortable, roomy tent that might have served admirably for a sunny hour but which was nothing more or less than a vast sieve; with 700 people swarming about with laugh and joke and pleasant anticipa tions, and 150 fine specimens of As toria infancy on display, 71 of which were billed as competitors in the Regatta baby show, that happy affair was pulled off yesterday afternoon at the Stadium, corner of Eighth and Commercial streets, with an eclat rarely found in matters of that sort. Chairman Frank J. Carney and his 10 judges, and the ladies' committee in direct charge of the enrolled babies, had their hands full every minute of the hour devoted to the pleasant task. As soon as the ladies had arranged the babies in something approaching a group, the 11 fated men, not one whom possessed a baby of his own, grimly took their note hooks and filed down the line inspect ing right and left and making careful j gg(g) UUICS Ul nit ucamji iu.ii..v.., ness, melodiousness, and lack of beauty, signied in the individual mem bers of the infantile brigade, including the twins, and triplets then and there present. It was-an exacting job, for never had these men gone up against a battery of such sort as laughed, and dimpled, and crowed, and cried, and howled, as them as did these 71 en gaging human morsels. Back and forth through the phalanx of mothers whose faces bore the invariable ex pression of gentle, yet pleading anx iety of the moment, and which no man dare look upon long lest he were lost; back and forth again and again, until each judge had firmly fixed in his mind and memoranda, the num bers appertaining to the dear little tots that appealed most strongly to him, as deserving allotment in the scale of prize-winners. At last they pulled themselves to gether and with a poorly veiled at tempt to act as though they were really tired of the whole thing and had simply been doing something so familiar, so monotonously customary that they could not conceal their weariness, they withdrew from the ring and disappeared (with their hearts in their mouths), behind the circus paraphernalia of the tent; and there, with bated breath and perspir ing brows, in tones tragically low, with sibilant whisper and anxious dec larations of comparison, wrought out the, following list of winners, which they took back into the great crowd and yielded up to their chairman. Mr. Carney is a brave man; he has all the Celtic virtue of pluck and Irish courage rarely fails; but it failed him yesterday. He simply could not face the 63 mothers who were certain to be chagrined (for there were eight prizes to be awarded), and, at -the very climax of his fright, turned the delicate task of naming the winners over to U. S. Senator Charles W. Fulton who fo'r the sake of sparing his old time friend, and placating a situa tion that was likely to become actual ly disastrous, assumed the function as men do who lead "forlorn hopes." Donning a huge badge securely fas tend to his coat, he mounted a table and. after soundly berating the un happy chairman for his loss of nerve at the vital moment, and openly ab solving himself of all personal partici nation in the conspiracy of the .11, declared the winners to be; No. 19 "Billie Gribbler," the pret tiest boy baby.

The boy babies were adorned with pink ribbons, and the girlies with blue, and all were numbered conspicuously, so that the judges could not know anything of the personality of the little people. The ladies in chart;:. Mesdames C. W. Fulton (chairman), G. W. Sanborn, P. A. Stokes and R. E. Howes, devised and carried out their own scheme of handling the matter of identity and baffled the last man in the judges' line complete ly; ana their adroit course, and the jolly flaying the inspectors got at the hands of the Senator, left that group without much standing when the show was concluded. As fast an the winners were named Mis. Fulton gave out the prizes, all of which were of silver and very pretty, and what, with Jhe distribu tion of these and the dainty souvenirs to all the babies present who did not take the more, elaborate prizes, and Senator Fulton's pleasant and witty oration, the show was brought to the happiest sort of conclusion. It was a genuine success from first to last. There was one prize of $100 that was not won, and was not delivcrd. It 'was for the "homlicst baby" on the ground; and though the staff of judges made a second and precise round of inspection, no such child could be found; it was not there; there was not a morsel of humanity in the tent that even approached such classification; and the pric was withdrawn, with the stipulation that if any mother present thought her baby entitled to it and had been over looked, she could have recourse by calling today at the office of Herman F. Prael, and filing her claim. Senator Fulton deprecated the inu tility of this valuable prize and broadly-intimated that 'it was only fair to the 11 childless judges that they be given just one year of grace In the premise, and if a baby should come to any one of them in" that time,, that the unused largess be bestowed on the first one that appeared, since it JUST IN AND JUST RIGHT LINDENBERGER'S Smoked Sturgeon Ready to eat.

Broke Hi Wrist- Yesterday, shortly after noon, Mer rill Henderson, a bright young barber in the employ of the Occident Barber Shop, while walking in the rear of the hotel, slipped on the wet plank iug of the yard and broke both bones on his left forearm, badly. .He was taken at once to Dr. A. A. Finch who treated the broken limb, and at evening the unfortunate young man was resting easily, and nourish ing the hope that he might be ableto leave out for his San Francisco home on the steamship Rose City, this af ternoon, which he will probably do if tie is at all able to do so. Out On Bail- Charles J. Bertelson. manager of the Warwick saloon on Commercial street, failed to show up in police court yesterday afternoon and his bond was declared forfeited. Judge Anderson at once issued a bench war rant and placed it in the hands of Police Officer Houghton with instruc tions to have Bertelson In court Mon day afternoon at 3 o'clock Bertelson is the man who pulled a gun on Police Officer Houghton, when, according to the officer's story, he found a woman iii one of the little rooms in the sa

Busiest Woman In Clatsop Dr. B. Owens-Adair came in from her Sunnymead farm yesterday, and as usual she was, armed with the signal 'thing that most interested her ffr the moment, to-wit, a'magnificcnt bundle of oats of three months' growth, six feet and three inches in length from the stem-cut to the heads and rich with grains, which she im mediately took to the county fair-and filed as her home contribution to the fine Clatsop exhibit there. This done, and variousand sundry other duties disposed of, the doctor went the rounds of the Regatta amusements and put in a happy day wijh the friends she met at every, turn. She wound up at the baby show where her pleasure for the daj, so far as the city went,' culminated and she took the train to the west side in time for her home dinner.

Ha Fine Feature Clcnn Darling, who is the top-liner in the Stadium tent, just east of the court house, Is doing a trick that many will be interested itvseeing. He permit himself to be locked in a steel cage, after being handcuffed or tied with ropes by members of the audience, and then makes his escape from the manacles and the steel cage with comparative ease. The opening night of (the Regatta he was tied so tightly by ropes, and by men who know how to tie ropes, that he still bean the marks of the cords around his arms and wrists, and yet it took him but a few minutes to free himself. Like his famous fellow worker, Hou dini, who has amazed the world with the ease with which he can escape from any manacles that police or others can place upon him, Darling takes pleasure in his work and tonight an especialy effort will be made by several to see if they can't "beat him at his own game." Minister In Court At the session of the police court yesterday afternoon there were three "drunks" who stood in the prisoners' docket to ansewr for their delinquen cies. Two of them pleaded guilty, while the third indicated as best he might that he could not speak"" the language of the court. But the con dition of his clothes was of Itself suf ficient indication what his offense had been, and this, added to the testimony of the arresting officer, was deemed sufficient to convict him. Each was given a light fine. The men were well dressed and looked like fishermen who had taken the "first drink" and then had gone on Until they ended in the gutter. Interested spectators of the session of the court were three ministers who are in attendance upon the conference now being held in this city.

He struggled against wind and water all day long and as luck would have it, drifted into the beach near Frankfort after dark on that evening, with the Star full of water and sinking, and sink she did within the hour of his landing. He groped about in the strangeness and gloom of the place, soaked to the skin, and found a fish erman's home at last, where he was made as comfortable as could be, dry clothes, good food, genial warmth, backed by a friendly welcome could signify it, and after a long night s rest, which greatly refreshed him, he was brought to 'this city on a motor fish boat yesterday, only to find that his friends here had chartered the aunch Queen and had gone up the Columbia river, to search for him.
