COLMA ARENA, San Francisco, Sept. 9. Battling Nelson clinched hi claimed to the liuhtwcight pugilistic championship by defeating Joe Cans for the second time this afternoon. The fight ended in the twenty-first round when Cans was beaten down tiy a succession of blows, from the St cad J' conqueror and failed to get upon his feet at the count of ten. The veteran colored fighter was se verely, punished but the champion, too, has marks of the battle. From the first clang of the gong, Nelson forced the fighting, never giving ground and gradually battered down his older and less vigorous opponent. In the final round Nelson rained in his right and left with smashes to the jaw and body and soon beat him into i helpless state. Cans sank to the floor and the referee began to count. Mechanically the defeated man watched Referee Smith wave his hands, apparently too far gone to hear' him count. The count of ten was tolled off and it was then that Cans, ashen gray, his face terribly cut with eyes glassy, sought to rise. The fight was the most spectacular and at no time did it appear as if Cans had a chance to win. Time and P. N. LILIENTHAL KILLED IN WRECK President of Anglo-California Bank at San Fran cisco Meets Death in Auto Accident SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-Phil-ip N. Lilienthal, president Anglo California Bank of this city and one the most prominent financiers of the Pacific Coast died her this evening from injuries received when the auto mobile in which he was returning from the Gans-Nelson fight collided with a horse and cart. The banker who is an extremely heavy man eith er jumped from the machine when he saw the collision coming or was hurled to the ground by the sudden stopping of the 'car, striking on his head and shoulders. One side of his head was found to be terribly crush ed when he was picked up and sev eral ribs had been fractured by the force of his fall. He died in the car on the way to the hospital. Lilienthal attended the fight in company with Gregory Wilenkin, financal agent at Washngton of the Russan govern ment during the Russo-Japanese war and Tfnace Warschamansky of St, Petersburg. On the return from the arena while the car was making good speed, the chauffeur decided to turn down a cross' street leading directly again he would shoot wicked punches to the Battler's face, but he latter never, for an Instant wavered. Rcf erce Smith said after the fight that Gans was all in after the ninth round In the twenty-first round, after both Smith and the timekeeper count ed ten, therefore making Nelson the winner, Smith added that he did not believe that Gans knew that lie was counted out, but it did not make any difference as Nelson had Gans com plctely at his mercy. In the dressing room Cans, with one eye closed and the other partialy so, nose and lips badly lacerated and swollen, mumbled oqt a statement as follows: "I made one fight too many; Nel son is a tough boy and beat me fair (Continued on page 8.) FIRE AT STROYS IB Bt mi HL WILSON PLANT COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED BY EARLY MORNING BLAZE. YEARS OF HARD LABOR LOST After Many Years' Building up of the Wilson. Business, the Flames Set Owner Back to Where He Had Started. RAINIER, Or., Sept. 9. Years of hard work by C. C, Wilson, princi pal proprietor of the C. C. Wilson Lumber Company, were lost early this morning when the sawmill of this company, 250,000 feet of lumber, five cars of lumber in the dry kiln, $50110 worth of machinery put in this summer, and other equipment were destroyed. Mr. Wilson's loss is $47, 000. His insurance is $13,000, which will meet his outstanding debts, leav ing him where he was when he began to build up the big plant years ago. A sailor working at the plant to the heart of the city, and as he 'swung the car around a corner, a horse attached to a heavy sulkey (coming from the opposite direction I became frightened and pranced in front of the car. The chauffeur 'brought the machine to a sudden stop, but not quickly enough to avoid the collision and the horse was piled on the fenders of the automobile, the chauffeur, Willenkin and War schansky jumped out at once. He helped the driver of the sulkey I to get the sulky righted and the ani ,mal on its feet. It was after this had 'been done that Lilienthal's absence was noted. On looking around his .friends discovered the banker lying in J the road some 15 feet from the ma (chie unconscious and with his face (and head covered with blood. The injured man was hastily placed in the car and all speed made to the nearest J'hespital, but Lilienthal expired dur ing the journey, Examination of the body, disclosed Lilienthal's death was due to punc ture of the left lung by a shaft of the sulky which also struck his heart. Democrat Leaves Peoria Amid Demonstrations PEORIA, Sept. 9. Bryan was the man of the hour today in Peoria and from the moment he set foot in the city until tonight when he departed for Evansville, He was accorded by a series of demonstrations. When the train pulled out of here tonight the actual invasion of the east by demo cratic candidate was begun. From this point until September 29 when the trip is concluded at Lincoln, Bryan will travel in a private car. At Esopun, New York, Mr. Bryan will be entertained by Judge Alton B. Parker. wakened at 3 a. m. and built a fire in the bunkliouse. At 4 a, m. he wak ened again, but saw no sign of fire. At 4:30 the blaze was discovered, hav ing started in the planer shed. Two men were asleep in the fireroom and no night watchman was in evidence. Flag Aldrcd, the watchman, took his blankets and left during the confla gration. So fierce was the blaze that cinders were found in another saw mill yard two and a half miles dist ant. It was so quick that a nearby tenement house was scorched before the inmates were aroused. Six weeks more would have finish ed work at this plant, when Mr. Wilson proposed to move the mill. to Rainier and cut during: the Winter FOR THIS Hon. Harrison Allen and P Meet With Charter Committee UPON RAILWAY'S INTEREST IN THE SEAWALL Draft of Amendment Suggested Mr. Allen Simple, Expedient and Pertinent Plans Citizens and Taxpayers Awaking and Preparing to Take a Hand In accordance with the under standing recently had as between the Astoria Charter Committee and Messrs. John McGuire, superintend-; cut of the A. C. Railway and Hon.i Harrison Allen, the" attorney for that company, in regard to a statement of the company's attitude toward the present plans for a seawall here, those two gentlemen arrived in the city yesterday on the noon express from Portland, and will confer with the committee at its session tonight. Both representatives of the railway are prepared to signify what, and all. phc company stands for in this rela tion at present, and will press the acceptance of its views for the com mon ffood of all concerned and not alone to cover the interest it holds In the great project. A reporter for the Morning As- torian had an opportunity yesterday to get reasonably close to the rail way estimate of the situation, in the course of an interview with Mr. Al lenduring which he expressed him self very frankly, as follows: "It is not the policyvof the A. C. Company to oppose, any public im provement, which is practicable, per manent and of general benefit to the City of Astoria, We believe, how ever, that before undertaking a work of such importance and magnitude, a irehminary investigation should be I made by experienced engineers to as certain and recommend a plan of im provement which shall include a sub stantial seawall, or outer bulkhead, Coroner's Jury Recommend Ac tion After Returning Verdict OMAJIA, Sept. 9."Dr. Frederivk Rustin came to his death by a pistol hot fired by some person unknown," is the verdict of the coroner's jury. The jury recommended that Charles E, Davis, who was yesterday impli cated by Mrs. Abbie C. Rice be held and that his conduct on the night of September 1st be thoroughly investi gated. Davis was taken into custody and after arraignment released on bond signed by his brothers. Fred crick Davis, a brother of the arrested man, states that Charles has been afflicted with spells of insanity for years. Mrs. Rice is also being de tained. months. Three previous fires have been discovered this summer, but all were put out without any damage. There was no fire in the slab pit this morning and no wind, so the original of the blaze is hardly understood. Many orders are left unfilled. CHILDREN INCINERATED. ST. PAUL Minn.. Sept. 9.-While the parents were away from home the residence of J. C.

"Plans and specifications for the whole work should be submitted, specifying grades, height of fills, recommend a new system of sewers which will be necessary to the preser vation Of the health of the city, and all other details which must be con sidered. "If this investigation shall disclose the feasibility and permanency of the work, and that the cost will not be prohibitive, the matter of the adop tion of the plan and the construction of the work can be submitted to the people at the next general city elec tion, by an initiative measure which will be thoroughly understood "To that end Mr. McGuire and I, as the representatives of the A. C, will attend the meeting of the Char ter Commission tomorrow evening and present to them a bill embody ing these suggestions. If an amend ment to the charter of this character, shall be adopted, it will be the means of giving to the people of Astoria the information which they ought to have before deciding this important question." Following is the full text of the charter amendment which will be offered in this behalf, by Messrs. Allen and McGuire, at the meeting j this evening, and it will be noted tKat (Continued on page 4) BASEBAL GAMES. American League. Detroit 7, Chicago 6. Philadelphia 6, 6, New York 9, 9.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9.-Carl Sutherland, the man who shot a,nd fatally wounded Captain of Police AubV today, committed suicide to night by taking poison. Sutherland was apprehended at the home of a friend. The police were waiting for him and as he approached the place they ordered him to throw up his hands. He did so, in one of his hands he carried a revolver. He dropped this but with the other hand carried a vial to his lips and" drank the con tents. Two minutes later he was dead. The vial contained cyanide of potash. MOST SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT ON RECORD Wright Aeroplane Makes Speed of 37 Miles an Hour for Over 62 Minutes WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Oro-ville Wright in three phenomenal flights at Fort Meyer today establish ed a new aeroplane records that not only assure the success of the official rials before the army board but in dicate that aerial flight is now only a matter of development. Two flights of approximately one hour each and another in which two men were whirled through the air for more than six minutes were achieved today. The first flight was made this morning in which the machine cir cled the drill grounds 57 times in 57 minutes and 31 seconds and was sur passed this even when a flight of 62 minutes and 15 seconds was made. Not satisfied with breaking all dist nice and time records for heavier- than-air flying machines, Wright took Lieutenant Lauhm', an aeronaut of the signal corps for a spin around the drill grounds, making new record for a two-man flight. Wright as usual displayed no emotion but Lauhm was most enthusiastic. In the first flight this evening the aeroplane circled the field 55 times at an estimated speed of 37 miles an hour. f The power was, Governorship Results Are' Still Incomplete MAKE SECOND COUNT. McBride Men Claim 40 Per Ct. of First Vote in Spokane County COSGROVE RETURNS STRONG Returns of 22 Out of 39 Counties Make Jones' Nomination for United States Senator Positive Other Re sults Slow.. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept.9 -Late incomplete returns from 22 out of 39 counties now point to the nomination of Jones for United States Senator over Ankeny by decisive pluralities. SPOKANE, Wash., Sept 9- Re ports from Tuesday's primary elec- tion received tonight indicate the selection of Congressman Wesley L. Jones as Republican nominee for Sen ator, in place of Levi Ankeny. Jones is estimated to have carried Spokane county by two to one. Walla Walla, Ankeny's home county, went against Jones heavily, but should favorable early reports from West Side coun ties be verified, Jones is believed to be the nominee. The vote for Snell, of Tacoma, is very light. Count of second choice votes is ex pected to be necessary to decide whether A. E. Mead is renominated for governor or superseded by Henry McBride ot S. G. Cosgrove to lead the Republican ticket McBride men claim 40 per cent of the first vote in Spokane county but it is not believed he received this percentage in the state as a whole, thus making a count (Continued on page 8.) not turned on in any of the flights. It is estimated 38.5 miles was covered in the longest flight. Secretary Wright, who witnessed the move ments of the machine said: "I sup pose this is the beginning of a steady development of this means of naviga tion." Secretary Metcalf declared the exhiibtion as remarkable. Perhaps the most enthusiastic man on the field was Secretary Strauss. General Murray, chief of artillery, de clared: "The problem of flight in the air is solved." 1 CARPENTER IS KILLED. WALLA WALLA, Sept. 9.-D. L. Cox, a pioneer carpenter of the Walla Wala valley residing at Waits burg, met death yesterday by being crushed beneath a building he was moving on a farm near Spring Val ley. Details of the accident could not be obtained tonight, but it is thought Mr. Cox was beneath the building placing sills when one of the tempo rary supports gave way and allowed the whole structure to fall on him killing him instantly.

We sincerely trust the charter amendment providing for the estab lishment and construction of a sea wall in this city, will not be submit ted at the forth-comins; polls: not that the project is not entirely wor thy, altogether essential and a genu ine improvement; but because it is untimely, not properly considered and predicated, vastly expensive and must entail enormous obligations for which the city is not prepared. There are other reasons, but they can wait for expression. One more year of thought, study, examination, the as certainments of actual survey, soun dings and alignment and the careful districting of the project, so that it shall not fall with anihilative weight upon an unprepared community will do no harm and probably give far better impetus and more unani mous endorsement to a scheme that is worth infinitely more considera tion than has been given it. And again, if Astoria is to take on the status of a port, with a port com mission, as is now probable, it were well to make the commissioners of the port responsible for the building of the wall, while the council takes care ot the immense system oi nus that is inseparable from the work; thus saving the annoyance and con fusion of "too many cooks" and do ing away with an infinitude of clap trap and epense. It is sharply with in the function of a port commission to dispose of just such phases of pub lic work as this, and it will be excel lent training for them in their own la titude. This is the logical plan to follow in this huge proposition, and there will be grave regret if the mat ter is forced to immature develop ment. It is inevitable, in the light of the sheer inexperience of the men. who have framed the text and terms j of the measure, not one of whom has I technical qualification of the remotest sort, nor specific data attaching to the task, and who have proven their in eptitude by concealing it behind clos ed doors for the months they devo modern switcn-boam ana nave pro ven their purposes by other actual and necessary work on the system here; and we are loath to believe they will renig. To the moment of writ ing, there is no sign of any sort lend ing color to this conclusion; no con tracts have been estopped; no work abated; everything is going on as it was promised and providedffi and it will take more than any vague hint to disestablish the general conviction that the company intends to carry out the last degre of its projected improve ment in this city. If there is any philandering underway, it might be better charged to the Automatic peo pie who are dallying with their fran chise rights as no company should do which properly estimates the real val ue of such public privilege, and which is supposed to be in the field for suc cess and advantage' as well as the old concern. They are as welcome as any reputable and progressive com pany should be in a live community like this and all they have to do is to make good on what has been con ceded them; there is nothing in their way that our people know about," and the public is simply waiting upon them to make full and final demonstaration of their desires and purposes, conced ing always that they are perfectly able to do so. What of rivalry exists, or what it may engender, as between these com panies, is no concern of ours; save that we feel it inopportune and am biguous for a public official to take even the remotest part in that contest, since such action is likely to be mis cinstructed to the city's disadvantage. ALL LINED UP, NOWI. There has been talk for months past of "opening up the city," wide and free, as of old, and to this current of comment is due in a large measure the broad interest in the new align ment of the police commission. If it does come to pass that the city is again given over to license and licen tiousness, to unchecked gambling and the concomitant evils that flock with such ircedom, there will be no earth ly doubt of the responsibility for it, and it will be frankly put where it belongs; .rd if things are held in ra tional check along all lines of indal- ceive any relief until my attention was drawn to Dean's Kidney Pills.

Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes; "Last year 1 suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business, I had many of the symp toms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggravate ny case. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow package, and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and, Tar with the same success." T. F.

It is too great and costly a matter to be dispensed with any flippancy and the sooner this sinks in upon the public consciousness, the better for all concerned.- BAD FAITH HINTED.

TARBEIX, Celebrated Author. 2JE of the first disappointing realizations of the immigrant to the United States must be that lie has come to a country practically without fete days. Accustomed to a succession of religious and national holidays, all lively in color and move ment; to local fairs running over days, even weeks sometimes; to street shows and games and merrymaking a land where not more than six or eight legal holidays are known and where the church is contented with an annual Sunday school picnic for the' children, must seem poverty stricken indeed in gayety, whatever its opportunity for money making. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THE VARIETY AND NUM BP" OF FETE DAY8 IN FOREIGN COUNTRIE8 GO A GREAT WAY TO MAKING UP TO THE LABORING CLAS8 FOR MATERIAL HARD8HIP3. HERE THERE 13 NO 8UCH COMPENSATION FOR NEW AND OFTEN VA8TLY MORE PERPLEXING HARD8HIP8. Even those among us who havo appreciated thoi difficulties of the immigrant's transplanting and have tried to smooth them away have given little thought to this side of the matter. The tendency, indeed, has been to frown on the newcomer's efforts to introduce his own frolics and festivals as un-American and to impress upon him that it is work and not play which counts in the new land. WE HAVE BEEN WILLING TO IMPROVE HIM, BUT UNWILLING TO AMUSE HIM, EVEN TO LET HIM AMUSE HIMSELF. THE RE SULT HAS BEEN THAT HE HAS DROPPED HIS MERRYMAKINGS AND EVEN COME TO DESPISE THEM AND HAS SUBSTITUTED FAR LESS ATTRACTIVE AND TOO OFTEN FAR LESS INNOCENT AMUSE MENTS. THE BARROOM AND THE DANCE HALL ARE POOR SUB STITUTES, INDEED, FOR THE OPEN AIR CAFE AND THE VIL LAGE FAIR. We Americans lose no less than the foreigner loses by this. One of the most precious things he brings us, indeed, is his capacity for gayety, expressed in picturesque dances and customs. 1 We are always willing enough to travel far in Europe to study these expressions. Indeed, the popular fete is one of. the things the tourist remembers longest, yet we have done almost nothing to encourage the preserva- ion here of any of its features.

James Beggs Taken For Alleged Part In Big Alaska Robbery. SEATTLE. Sept. 9.-Whcn James II. Beggs was accosted by Patrolman Hubbard last evening on board the steamer Senator, whiih had just ar rived from Nome, the closing chap ter of one o (the biggest gold dust robberies in the history of the West and North was closed. Beggs was arrested on a warrant issued by Dep uty United States Marshal Charles DiebclhU, of Fairbanks, charging him witn entering tne state ot Washing ton with stolen goods. The real charge is that Beggs had a part of the $19.(KX) which "Bobby" Miller had planted two years ago at Fairbanks after turning over to the authorities the major portion of $78,2.16.34 taken from the steamer Tanaua. Robert Miller is supposed to be on his way from Skagway to Seattle to meet Beggs and divide up the money. Miller completed a two year term of imprisonment this spring and imme diately upon his release went north. The Firemen's Fund Insurance Com. pany of San Francisco, which had paid the full loss on the gold, did not lose track of him ajid his movements were, known to them from the time he left McNeill Island up to the time he is alleged to have given, Beggs the gold. He went direct to Fairbanks. Cliarley Dreibelheis, chief deputy marshal, put a man on his track and it was due to his close surveillance, that Beggs was accused of carrying out the gold which Miller left. To lay Beggs will be formally charged by United States Marshal Perry of the third division who is confident that he will land Miller. Beggs' trunk and others, are held to be searched for the gold bricks. EXPECT BIG MEETING. Over 1000 Delegates Appointed to Tranamississippl Congress.

COAST, BAR AND RIVER NEWS OF THE HOUR CRAFT ARRIVING AND DEPARTING IN AND FROM ASTORIA AND THEIR MASTERS, MEN AND MESSAGES The American ship Berlin, Captain Thomas Fry, commanding, crossed in over the Columbia bar at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, bringing down from Nushagak, Bristol Bay, Alaska, the salmon pack of the Portland Packers' Association of 57,- 067 cases: 98 white men and 128 Japanese cannery people. She had a fast trip down, being 15 days en route. Mrs. Fry accompanied her husband on the voyage and reports a pleasant season in the north, but she has a scorching report to make on the cook and cooking that fell to the cabin tables during the sea voy ages up, and back. Thirty people who used the cabins were subjected to almost starvation conditions ow ing as the Captain and Mrs. Fry aver, the utter incompetency of the cook, a Eugene man by the name of Hunt ley, who, beside knowing nothing of his business, was "too wilfully indif ferent to learnand simply compelled all hands to take what messes he saw fit to concoct; and all they say is amply fortified by scores of others in volved in the disagreeable mix-up. The Berlin will be towed to Coble, where she will discharge cargo. loss of the salmon ship Lucille in Bristol Bay on the 19th of last month She belonged to the S. B. Peterson canneries, and broke from her moor ings, going on the rocks in a gale of wind.

The steamer Cascades cleared from this veMerdav,, with 550,000 feet of The arrival of the good ship Ber lin from Alaska yesterday developed a passing tragedy, in which Inspector Bontiam, of the federal immigration service in this city, and Police Ofhccr Joseph B. Wilson, took conspicious and clever part in the capture of an escaped Japanese criminal, who is badly wanted m the courts of Los Angeles, Cal. On the 4th of February last, in the City of the Angels, there was a des perate row in the Japanese quarter, which resulted in the cold-blooded murder of one K. Okasaki by a countryman who was known by the distinguished cognomen of I to, but just how he came to bear the name of the great admiral is of small in terest measured by that the Los An geles police subsequently took in his capture. The murderer was traced to San Francisco, where he was lost for a time, but when the Alaska fish ing fleet sailed from there, an intima tion was given them that Ito had sailed on the ship Columbia, for the Nushagak river; and thereupon the police of the whole coast and the federal departments were apprised of the man and the crime, and constant watch has been kept on the coast from Southern California to North ern Alaska. When it was found that Ito did not attempt to return on any of the San Francisco fleet from Alaska, it was thought he might try to get back on the Berlin, and warn ing and descriptions were sent broad cast Inspector Bonham, always on the alert for just such contingencies, had the description of the man and call ed in the service of the Astoria po lice, Officer Wilson being assigned to the task, and both officers went to the ship when she was towed in yes terday afternoon, determined to get the fugitive if he were alive and on board that particular ship. In the due course of the immigra tion inspection the 128 Japanese on the Berlin were lined up and passed under rigid scrutiny by Mr. Bonham, with Officer Wilson sharply on' guard to nab the man that tallied up with the marks and signs registered against Obasaki's murderer, and it was not until the one hundred and twenty-fifth man slouchingly and fal teringly approached the officers, that any gleam of certainty appeared in this ugly concern; but almost in stantly Inspector Bonham passed the quiet signal and Ito was in the hands of the law and its irons upon his wrists. The strong clement in the decriptive matter supplied the officers was the fact that the murderer had lost the first joint of the left little finger by ampuation, and his was the cardinal point on which the seizure was made. The man fitted the bal ance of the description closely enough to justify the arrest; he was of the height declared within a frac1 tion of an inch; he wore a soft tan hat; he owned and had with him, but not on him, a black sweater which was said to be among his effects; he admitted on the spot having been in Los Angeles about the time of the murder and that he had gone north on the ship Columbia, all of which, in conjunction with his intimate ful filment of the physical traces set up in the criminal circulars sent out, warranted the seizure, and he will be held pending the action of the Los Angeles authorities in the matter of extradition. It was cleverly done and there no doubt in the officers' minds as to the identity of the man who now lies in the city prison, and both are en titled to credit for the expeditious manner in which the work of appre hension was carried out.

Last year the city levy was 57 mills i building at the corner of Eleventh ,nc ,lol,ar' w,,uc u,c co,,n,y lcvy and Duane by the first of October, waa" it is, ot course, quite probable that the rate will be much lower this year for the city, but whether it will be only relatively and not absolutely lower than last year will of course not be known until the rate is establish ed. The big sums spent by the city authorities out of the general fund naturally will make the rate pretty high. Mr, Cornelius says he is not afraid of complaints being made of the rate throughout the county, but it is evi dent that lie anticipates continued complaint within the city because of .L I I!. t will amount to the ,ne "re Pmi.iurci "ere.

The water commission has given orders to run a pipe over from Exchange street but there seems to be a delay in completing the work, The Scow Hay residents are now carrying their water supply from neighboring houses. Error Gladly Corrected Through mis-information received at this office, the Astorian was led to publish the statement that the Flavel Land Development Company in this county, was involved in the forthcoming mortgage sale of the Flavel Hotel property, in the inter ests of the Marblchead Savings Bank. The Flavel Land Development Co., nor its holdings, are in any way con nected with the matter and are abso lutely free from the encumbrances and action at law incident to the transaction alluded to. A Quick Job Messrs. Frederickson Brothers, the well known contracting carpenters, began last night, after the show, at the Jewel theatre, to rebuild the floor of that popular place of amuse ment, by tearing it out and inserting a series of inclined planes upon which in the future the floor will rest, giv ing the audiences a better chance to a a see the picture displays over eacn others', heads and which will be greatly appreciated by the patrons of the house. The Work has to be done by I o'clock this afternoon, and there will be no delay about it. A Bold Robbery Yesterday morning about 10:30 o'clock, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred W, Beck, at the corner of Sixth and Lexington avenue, was invaded by some nervy thief, while Mrs. Beck was, engaged in the rear of the nrcmscs with her household duties, and her jewel case, containing rings, pins, a watch, and other trifles of value, and her purse and money from another receptacle, were stolen out right, the thief disappearing without being seen, with any certainty, by anvone in the neighborhood. The loss amounts to $50 or more and is felt more for" the intrinsic value of the things taken than for their money values. The police were notified, but up to going to press, no develop ments had been reported. It was one of the boldest thefts known in this city for 'many months. Matter Happily Closed Mrs. James Mcintosh, of Olympia, Wash., who has been in the city for a few days, the guest of her brother, J. A. Monroe, with a view to making new arrangements with regard to the piledriver bearing that name, left last evening on the steamer Lurline for her home, having satisfactorily closed a new deal whereby Mr. Monroe re tains the fine outfit and who will im mediately prosecute all his contracts and engagements therewith. It had been the intention of Mrs. Mcintosh to have the machine sent around to Olympia, but abandoned the idea when she found the situation so promising for Mr. Monroe- and it re mains here, much to the satisfaction of Mr. Monroe and all who know how faithfully he has worked it. He has his hands full of new work and will get at it without loss of further time,

Good, Old-Fashioned Time Dr. B. Owens-Adair is never happy unless she is gathering her friends around her at her snug farm home at "Sunnymeade," and is always de vising schemes to this end. Yester day she had about 25 good friends out there for a real, old-fashioned wool-picking and the pleasures inci dent to the occasion were amplified by. one of her generous chicken din ners to which were, added all the charms of home fruits, home vege tables, home cream, and the spontan ALEX TAGG Ice Cream 25c qt.

Thej At the meeting of the common' city treasurer also, has on hand in cj, Tuesday night Dr. Logan readiness to pay out me sum oi v, 725,59, for which calls have been made for the warrants. This sum is in the general fund and interest on it has stopped from the time the calls were made. It is rather sur prising to note the long periods of time that some men will leave money in the city treasury when' it '2s due and payable to them. One or more of the contractors now have pretty large sums there that is not drawing any interest, and some small sums have been there so long that perhaps the creditors have almost forgotten that there is money coming to them. Meantime the longer the money stays the more bother it is to the city, who naturally likes to have things "clean ed up" as fast as is reasonably con venient or possible. Company's New Officers At the regular meeting of the First Company, Coast, Artillery! last night the organization resolved itself into a company meeting and selected offi cers. Private Sam Kroschel was elected clerk of the .company, and Second Lieutenant Sutton was elect ed company treasurer. Captain Ab ercrombie by virtue of his office as head of the organization, also. The two men elected were chosen by ac clamation. The meeting also adopt ed bye-laws and a constiution, and selected Foard Stokes' hall as the permanent abode of the company, Mr. Stokes having agreed to fix the hall up in a suitable manner. It was! on September 16th. Miss Raymond also decided to hold an encampment, Us a bright actress of unusual merit though the date was not definitely and has done a great deal towards set. Probably it will be about the making "The Missouri Girl" the pop first of October. The boys voted a ular play it is today. She stands voluntary levy of 50 cents each for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of the encampment, which will be from Saturday night to Monday morning. It is also proposed to fix up the hall into a sort of club rooms, and thus make it an attractive place for the men. Twenty-five Years Ago Mr. George Kaboth, members of the cify council and one of Astoria's best known citizens, will today ob-j serve the twenty-fifth anniversary of his coming to Astoria. On Septem ber 10, just 25-years ago, Mr. Kaboth came to this city from San Francisco on the steamer State of California, the same vessel that is now running between Portland and San Francisco via Astoria, Mr. Kaboth liked the possibilities that he saw in this vicin ity and made up his mind to settle down in Astoria, and here he has re- Never in the history of Astoria have you bought meat as cheap as this.

"There should be restrictions placed on building," he said, "Only two or more story structures should be permitted in certajn portions of the city. Now any kind of a shack may be put up anywhere." Dr. Logan -referred to the two little shacks at "Tombstone corner," as being almost a disgrace to the main street of the city. "They're not fit for anything but dog houses," said another councilman. Mr. Ander son, Jthe city auditor, explained that under the present condition of the ordinances it is not possible to re fuse permits for any and all kinds of buildings. There seems to be an im perative need for a change in the building laws and the council appar ently is in a mood to adopt some suitable ordinance. At the present time one man might construct a $100,000 building on a prominent street, while. another man might erect a $45 shack right next to him, a disgrace to the city, a menace from fires, and a means of lessening the valuation of all properties in the lo cality.

How Times Passes With Brothers Who Slew Their Enemy. NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-With a pack of playing cards with which he builds miniature fortifications, houses, and lays plans of battle, Captain Pctr C. Hains, Jr., passe hi time in his cell at the Queens County Jail, Long Island City, where he is wait ing trial together with hi brother T. J. Hains for the killing of William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht Club, August 15. Whenever he succeeds in getting the cards in the desired posi tion and completes his building he springs up from his table in an ecstasy of joy and shouts: "I've got it. I've got it." T, Jenkins Hains, who is now con fined in another corrider, passed his tier and lounges around.. Lawyer Jo seph A. Shaw, one of the attorneys for the defense, say that it is true that T. J. Hains was writing a story of the shooting. Mr. Shay says that the ordeal is telling on the parents of the brothers, General Hains and his wife. He doubts if the elder Mrs. Hains would survive the ordeal of her son's being placed on trial for their lives. HEAVY PECULATIONS.

THE "FATHER" GETS AWAY Raid Followed Complaints Made to the Anti-Cruelty Society in Regard to the Orphans and of Sounds of Revelry There at Night CHICAGO, Sept. 9,-Four "Sisters of Mercy" were arrested last night in a raid by City Detectives on St. Jo seph's Home for Orphans at 202 Thirty Sixth Street. Despite the precautions taken by the police An tonio de Lubics, said to be the head of the institution and claiming to be out for him. It is feared he has fled the city, but detectives were on his a priest, escaped the dragnet spread trail early today. The raid followed complaints made to the Anti-cpelty Society and to the health department by neighbors who often heard sounds of merriment in the "Asylum" in the early morning hours. Mrs. Mary Pillar, until a week ago employed at the place, was the first to tell of the midnight mer- riment and of the severe beatings ad-. ministered to the little orphans in the home. The "Sisters of Mercy" are Helen Myslivers, 17 years old; Mary Mar- engo, 19 years old; Fidelia Lazarius. 20 years old and Sarapheni Polner, 18 years old. The Myslivers girl told the police how the home was main tained and how DeLubics conducted himself. She denied that the child ren fed at the institution were mis treated, but asserted that sometimes they were "chastised for being un ruly." "I have been at the home for a long time, but I never kept count of the many dollars I turned over to Father DeLubics," she said, 'We were not permitted to keep any track of the money handled by us for that was one of the vows we took when wej Uncle Sam's Men and Ships. got the veil.

Nevertheless America Will Be Rep resented In Berlin Races. NEW YORK, Sept. 9,-The Amer ican team entered in the international balloon race to take place in Berlin on October 11, has lost another mem ber in Allan' R. Hawley, who finds that business will not permit of his sailing for Europe today as. intended. Mr. Hawley's inability to take part in the race follows closely on the de cision of General Allen, chief of the army signal service, that Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm cannot be spared to go to Germany to compete. Lieutenant Lahm is superintending, with other army officers, the tests that are now being made at Fort Myer and this entire month and probably a part of October will be taken up with the trials of the' Wright and Herring aeroplanes. The government experts believe he is of more use here at the present time, than competing in the balloon trophy at Berlin. W. H. Arnold will take Lahm's place and he will be pilot of the new balloon St. Louis which the St. Louis Aero Club 4tad constructed in Paris, for the race. Mr. Arnold is a com paratively new aeronaut, having but lately received his pilot's license, but he has made a number of ascensions from North Adams within the last six months. He will sail for Europe next week about tne same time that A. Holland Forbes, the third member of the team, sails. CANNOT ACCEPT ALL, WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. -The Navy Department has been obliged to decline with regret the invitation extended by. the Netherlands govern ment to have the battleship fleet make a visit to Landjong Prick, Java, on the way to Manila. The Department is anxious to get the fleet to Manila in good time for target practice and the department does not think it wise at this time to depart from the itinerary already mapped out. JONES LEADS ANKENY. Returns From The Washington Pri mary Are Far From Complete. SPONE, Sept. 9.-3 A. M. Returns from the primary elections tii Washington are far from complete. Such returns as have been received indicate that Jones is lead ing Ankeny for the senatorial nomina tion and will probably carry the Eas tern part of the state. In Spokane County Jones has a good lead, and also in Okanogan County. He is car- rying Yakima, his home county, by i a vote of 5 to 1, while Ankeny is carrying Walla Walla, the Senator's home county, 3 to 1. For governor on the Republican ticket, McBride appears to be leading,: though Mead and Cosgrove are show- ing much strength in several counties, For governor on the democratic tick- et pattison is leading Well. for Congressman, Poimdextcr ap pears to be in the lead, with honors divided between the other contests. Chadwick, Crow and Root are easily leading, all other candidates for jus tices of the Supreme court. For Senator on the Democratic ticket, the race between Cotterill and Godman is close. Cotterill has a slight lead in Spokane County. Subscribe to The Morning Astorian. 60 cents per month by carrier. HONORS EVERYWHERE.

Four players will compose the Amor loan challenging team for the Davis International tennis cup. These play ers are as follows: In the slugles. Wil liam Aymar learned, Heals 0. Wright. Frederick B. Alexander and Harold II. Hackett. Dr. James Dwlght of Bos ton, president of the Uulted States National Lawn Tennis association, made this announcement recently as the selections of the committee, of which he Is the chairman. Hackett wilt add no strength to the team In the tingles, but was Included to keep the doubles combination which has, been mi successful for two years. From their recent performances lexander and Hackett are peerless as l pair and are regarded as standing above any previous pair of champions that this country has produced. No sooner had the selection been made than Lamed and Hackett nu- uounced that they would be unable to make the trip to Australia If the Eng lishmen were defeated, but It Is thought that both players will recon sider their determination not to go. Should Lamed and Hnckctt not go !t Is probable that Wright and Alex ander would constitute a team strong enough to have au excellent chunce of recovering the cup. They have made no tournament appearnuces as a team, but have played together a good deal In private and with practice should become very formidable.

He responded gamely and in the fol lowing round made what was probab ly the most furious round of the fight. NOMINATION OF JONES Continued from page 1) of second choice necessary.
