HELENA, Sept. 16-The republi can state convention will convene to morrow. The big contest it is an ticipated will be over the guberna torial nomination for which there is no less than 12 candidates.

The center of trouble and confu sion, in the enforcement of the new fishing laws of Oregon, seems to have shifted to the Upper Columbia, and by way of adding an odd interest to the situation, Fish Warden Mc Allister finds himself up against his friend, and official sponsor, Frank A. Seufert, the man who did more to place Mr. McAllister where he is than anyone in either State; but to the lasting credit of both gentlemen, the Master Warden is proving him self not only honest, earnest and ef ficient in his new and trying duties, but quite above all claims that might be supposed to exist in favor of the north shore canner; and we hope the whole matter will be pushed to such lengths of license, laches and law, as to bring forth an issue, and an ad justment, as shall forever lay the last dispute in the industry and make it easy for all operators in both States to subscribe heartily and obey de cently. The subject should never be dropped until a finality of legal agreement has been reached; it is obviously necessary, and the im mense values at stake warrant the best and ultimate of all considera tion. f Down here on the lower reaches of the river there seems to be a quiet, and yet ardent, desire to have the controversy quickly settled, once for all, so that all interference and rup ture and loss may be, averted and the men and plants engage seasonably and successfully in the work; especi aay if it can be done with the com mon consent and confirmation of Oregon and Washington and their courts. There is, or should be, a ready and efficacious route out of the turmoil, now that Mr. Seufert is primarily involved; because he is an able man, a good fighter, and rich enough to stand the stress; but above all, he is honest and amenable to the best and worst turn the law may take for him, and will abide straightfor wardly by the climax of settlement, howsoever it may affect his interests. J And to this consumatioh all are now looking hopefully. people' THE SEA-WALL BILL. For the moment there is a notable subsidence in the agitated interest that marked the publication, and re cent comment upon, the Astoria sea wall bill as put forth by the Council Charter Committee; presumably for further consideration, and possibly, for amendment, both of which are due it 'I' Such a conclusion warrants the friendly suggestion, that since the framers of the measure were so de voted to the doctrine of excluding all legal interference with their acts, and eschewed the courts with grand and startling sweep, they might, by way of amendment, concede to the people interested in the million-dollar enterprise, the proper, and effec tive, play of the mayor's veto io a general way, so that recourse may be had when less careful people crop to the surface in the handling of this important work Some such relief is indispensable among the provisions of the bill, and it will never reach common acceptence without it; nor should it be adopted without some COFFEE You can buy something called, "coffee" at 10c lb with 3l)C0 miles of R R freight from the roaster don't";,--;', Tear trecer reform row money li ra aoe't E&e IcaOUEr'i But: w$ pi Hwl ASTORIAN. $1.50 July 30, 1906, a the postoffice at As Morning Astorian to either residence bypostal .card or through telephone. be immediately reported to tne ornce I plain and open avenue to immediate (estoppel, at crises which may not be anticipated. With a realizing sense of the ur gent need of such an intervenor, and a hope that the people are not to be disappointed in the essential, along with other amendments just as po tent, we are all waiting the re-appear ance of the bill and will welcome it and work for it if it comes forth shorn of its most flagrant features. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES. We believe this name is one where with the people of the United States will do some of their gravest conjur ing in the early years to come; we are not building unadvisedly when mentally, we construct a predicate that shall put New York's present governor where his predecessor stands, as the highest type we have to offer in the disposal of our great na tional problems of office and govern ent. As' time reveals the man, and his strength and cleanliness' become daily more apparent to the thinking American, the certainty of employ ing him as the arch-representtive of our people and investing him with all our cherished powers and stand ards, looms largely possible and wel come; fof never again will the citi zens of this country tolerate a lesser man man Kooseveit or riugnes or Cleveland, the latter-day exponents of manliness and dignity and safety in this great relation. That Mr. Hughes has emerged from the New York gubernatorial nomination fight triumphant, without ever having raised hand or voice in his own behalf, is indicative of the extraordinary influence he so quietly wields in that commonwealth and of the universal accetpance of the man and his code. That great State is the national political barometer for us all, and even the hard-and-fast doctrine of "States rights" may not prevail against an everlasting succes sion from there, if he continues to thrust forth such sons as these for the Presidency. Thanks be, even Oregon is not too far away from the man and his pale of influence, to be indifferent to the ascendancy of his .star, slow as it may be, or rapid; he has made his impression on the country, and unless we are wonder- f.fl-. y our "'"nations and estimates, it will be many a long day before it is eradicated; which means never in this land.

In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, tbe California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

I stuck for my point and be fur bla, and tbe result waa that be called me out Wo chatted and laughed on the field, and aa I ran blm through tbe ahoulder I waa never lu better nature In my life. "I waa sitting on a hotel veranda one day' with Judge O'Connor. Tbe Judge and I lived next door to each other and bad been friends for year. Aa we talked away be observed that 'ow ing to a combatlna,tlon of circum stances' to and so bad resulted. He meant 'combination,' of cose, and I took the liberty of correcting hlra.' 'Colonel Bunker, I aald "combatlna tlon,' he said aa be turned to me. "'You did, Judga, but you meant "combination.' 11 M'I Insist that I was right In the word.' 'And 1 Insist tbat you were wrong.' Mat the Judge at Sunrise, "The Judgo challenged me, and we mot at aunrise next morning. 1 wound ed blm In tbe thigh, and he pricked me la the arm, all In the best of good nature, sub. That evening we were sitting together In tbe same old chum my way. That first duel led to a sec ond. Five years after we bad fought be stopped me on the street one day to say: "'Colonel Bunker, I wish to apolo gize to you.' "For what, pray?' 'I was wrong about that word, and you were right.' '1 knew you were, judge.' 'Then, auh, I challenge you.' 'But for whatr 'For knowing that you were right!' "And we went out and fought, auh, and this time I gave the Judge the point so strongly that he was laid up for alx weeks. There was tbe case of Senator Sloane. We were hunting to gether in the fields one day when be Temnrked how singular It was tbat a rabbit's fore legs were the longest. 'You mean hind legs, senator,' I corrected. '"Fore legs, suh.' "Hind legs;' 'Colonel Bunker, I will send a friend to you this evening.' Fought Like Qentltmen. 'And he did, and when we met next mawnlng ho had the luck to, wound me Is the shoulder and to escape all liarni himself. I bore blm no more 111 will than before. We had simply dif fered and fought It out like gentle men. "Another case. I was walking on the streets of my native town with Captalu Gliders. We had just had a nip together and were the best of friends. In 'calling my attention to the condition of the street he called a burdock a pigweed. Knowing that be bad misspoken himself, I should have let it pass, but I was foolish nough to correct blm. He at once ibent over the plant and said: 'Colonel Bunker, it is a pigweed.'

"This time the challenge was from me, There was a covert sneer In the majab's tones, a sort of doubt of my Judgment of tbe size of a female foot, and I waa Irritated thereby. He was expecting my challenge and promptly accepted It, and next morning be lodged a bullet In my leg. He Is llv Ing yet, and our 'friendship has con tinned unbroken.

Wynne Crosby, a young Astorian who has dwelt in the metropolis since his marriage four years ago. It seems that three or four days ago Mr. and Mrs, Crosby went into the mountains, out toward Hood, for their summer outing and on Monday last Mrs. Crosby met with a hard fall, and being enciente, it resulted severely She was instantly taken back to her Portland home and placed un der the care of her family physician, but the delicacy of her health, being augmented by blood-poison, brought the crisis dispite all .the skill and at tention that was lavished upon her, land she died at an early hour yester day morning, leaving her young hus band distracted with grief. She was but 23 years of age and a charming woman, with hosts of friends there, and here, and the cir cumstances of her sudden death are peculiarly grievous.

HOURS Mayor Wis yesterday returned without his signature the ordinance providing for the improvement of Forty-sixth street and the building of a public pier and dock there. The object of the improvement wan pri marily ,to provide for a public land ing place, and ,the Mayor states his reasons for his veto, which is here- j with given in full: "To the Honorable City Council of the City of Astoria. v "Gentlemen: I herewith return without my signature an ordinance entitled an ordinance 'providing for the time and manner of improving Forty-sixth street from the north line of the alleyway running through blocks 102 and 103, in Adair's Port of Upper Astoria, to a point 905 feet northerly thereof.' "The building of this street has been started in order to provide a public landing .in that part of the city; I am heartily Tn favor of the project and only desire to submit for your consideration this proposition: if this street is to be built at the present time mainly for the purpose of providing a public landing for the benefit of all the people, by building a wharf 40 feet by 75 feet with the necessary slips,-handrails and etc., when otherwise said street would probably not be improved at pres ent or at least not so great a distance out in the river, whether the public generally should not be required to pay a part of the expense necessary to pay for this public landing, rather than ask a very few property owners to stand the whole burthen. I there fore respectfully return this ordi nance so that your honorable body may give it further consideration, z "Respectfully, "HERMAN 'WISE, "Mayor." The Mayor's action is in effect a veto, though he states that he "re turns this ordinance so that your honorable body may give it further consideration. The Mayors objec tion is that the improvement is such that it v:H be a benefit to a large part of the population in that portion of the city, and that therefore it is not equitable to impose the entire burden of paying for it upon only a few. That the Mayor will be com mended for his action is highly prob able, and it seems evident that the members of the council probably 1-assed ibe ordinance without having their attention called to the phase of the matter which led the Mayor to lend his eto. It seems to be agreed on all sides that the improvement is one that is desirable. The people of that part of the city have now no public !aiding, and in case of funerals and other similar occasions when a lonsiderable body of people wish to lake a boat there, no opportunity is offered them to do so, save by using the Hume wharf, whose owners have courteously Accorded them this privi lege on many occasions. But at pres ent the Hume wharf may not be used and it is apparently asking too much to expect the public to use a private wharf as if it were a public one. But, in the manner that the brdi nance had been prepared, the whole cost of the project would have fallen upon the shoulders of less than half a dozen property owners said to be only five, of them. The cost would have been $4500 and manifestly this burden would not have been a fair one. It is said to be probable that the councrT may agree with the Mayor, since their attention is called to the apparent inequity of the present, and will arrange for a wider assessment district; Or, the council may possibly think that the present assessment on the very few is only fair, on the possible grounds that their property would be greatly enhanced in value because of its proximity to the public landing place. COMMISSIONER ARRIVES. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. Commissioner Thos. Estil, who will take charge of the Salvation Army's work in the west and north, with headquarters in Chicago, arrived yes terday from Japan and was greeted by Colonels Chas. Miles and George French, the latter having come from Chicago to meet the new commissioner. Sevcntv-two complaint Jind been filed in justice court against fisher men up to the close of the day yes terday, but out of all these com plaints only live arrests had been made at dark last evening. The sheriff's began to aid In the service of the complaints last night and probably its efforts will materially add to the list of arrests.. While the water bailiffs were in momentary expectation of some ac tion being taken yesterday to re straint them in their camptign against the fishermen, nothing hap pened and they continued at their work without intermission. A The complaints charge various kinds of alleged violations of the fishing laws. Each man arrested Ik compelled to put up the sum of $60 bail money, and in licit thereof he would be compelled to go to jail. There was some talk of the fishermen refusing bail, and in that event the county jail would not hold all the men for whom warrants have been or will be issued. The outcome of the matter is said to be quite proble matical, and the laws are so badly mixed up that few there are who wish to make any forecast of what (he end of the matter will be. Of course the principal matter of con tention will be the question of the right of Oregon officials making ar rests on the Washington side, and even againt the Washington shore, and the question of the two states having concurrent jurisdiction in the river is one that the higher coitrts will have to pass upon before a solu tion is reached, it seems probable.

Such an ap pointment would be understood and highly appreciated here.

Exama Today Superintendent Clark of the city schools announced last evening that the' examination for the pupils who wish to "try again" will be held in the McClure's school building, com mencing at 9 o'clock this morning. They will be in charge of Mrs. Berry, principal of the Shivcly school. These examinations are for the pur pose of permitting the pupils who failed to pass at the Spring tests, and those who were conditioned in one or more studies, to have another trial. About ten nr" twelve will enter, it is understood. New Teacher Superintendent Clark yesterday re ceived a telegram from Fred E. Schmidkc, of Fayette, Ia stating that he would accept the proposition t' teach the science and German classes in the Astoria high school. It has been an exceedingly difficult matter to procure the services of a competent man teacher to take these branches, principally because the As toria schools offer a comparatively small aalary for the position. All of the teaching force has now been en gaged and 11104 of the teachers are now on the ground in readiness for the opening .of the schools. Incubator Baby .Dead One of the little incubator babies that have been caVted around the state for show purposes and presumably the one that was on public exhibition here during the regatta died at the Corvallis fair. The child that was shown here at 10 cents per head was puny, and apparently dying then, and how it is that such an inhuman prac tice is permitted seems difficult to un derstand. How a sickly child jolted around, the country in a heated box can be expected to live is a side of the matter that the showman natur ally doesn't both about. These senti ment were expressly by one of the Corvallis papers and apparently they have application here. :T No More Land :i: At the office of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday it was said that all of the free government lands in Clatsop county have now been taken up. Until recently the maps showed that there were still tracts aggregat ing about 1500 acres, but it is under stood that one of the railway com panies has recently filed upon all of this, under some provision that per mit it to take up a certain amount of government lands, though just how is not clear. The members of otic of the Astoria realty firms said yesterday that there is no longer any land in the county that may be home steaded, save perhaps an occasional forty on some mountain top. At all events the Chamber of Commerce knows of none at all. Meet Tonight The charter amendment committee will meet tonight and has extended an invitation to the newly appointed members of the seawall commission to meet with them. There are nine members in the commission. It is understood that S. E. Harris, of the commission, will decline connection with the work of the commission and that he will tender hia resignation. Mr,, Harris is said not to be in good health and he also feels that the mat ter is one of which he has no special knowledge. That one more of the commission will also offer his resig nation is also intimated, though this gentleman has requested the Astorian not to say anything about his prob able course in the matter for the present. It is said that the charter amendment committee may arrange to change certain matters in the bill so as to remove or materially modify some of the criticised features, es pecially as to proceeding without first niitking thorough investigations.

They came from a celebrated onion district known as Evan's Creek, Woodville,? near Medford, and are simply superb. He bestowed couple on a: newspaper friend (for obvious reasons which are here demonstrable to the most obtuse), which was the proper thing to do at that party was just out if that particular vegetable, The species was not mentioned by Mr. Davies, but the onions speak for themselves, in various ways, in size, color, texture and scent, especially the latter, and speak loudly of a fine culture and care and soil and tell of a ready market at the same time and in the same strong breath. They stand four inches in height and 13 in circumference, and they come of a yield approximating 60,000 pounds to the acre. PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. Fred Sherman, wife of the well known steamboat captain, is visiting friends and relatives here, and is stopping at the home of her father-tn-law, Fred Sherman, Albert Dunbar and Ed, Streumeyer are rusticating for a week at the Lounsberry ranch at Clatsop.

RAYMOND'S COMPANY IN WELL KNOWN PLAY AT OP ERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT The Astoria theatre was filled last nigit to witness the performance of "The Missouri Girl" as produced by Fred Raymond's capable company, 'the play deals with life in old Mis souri and while there is a sweet pa thetic story running through the piece,' there is still plenty of good, wholesome comedy and dramatic sit uations. The title roll was in the hands of the well known and popular, young actress Miss Sadie Raymond and to say that she handle the part in good style would'be putting it mildly indeed. Miss Raymonds portrature of the part was fine and her splendid acting supported by the entire, com pany gave naturalness and atmos phere, such to make one forget that he was looking upon a mimic scene and think he was back in old Mis souri. Next to share the honors of the evening from the standpoint of the audience was "Zeke" the country boy. Between Zeke and "Daisy" the "Mis souri Girl" it was hard to tell indeed which one furnished the most of the comedy and comical situations. Mr. Farrell, w-ho played "Zeke" is an un usual tall man, and with the aid of the tighr fitting clothes he wore his height looked greatly increased, and as Daisy was rather short the pair presented a most comical picture, and brought round of laughter and applause from the audience, even when just standing silently side by side. The plot of the piece seems to be a secondary consideration, as it was clear from the performance that the members of the cast worked more for the comedy in the piece than for the story itself. .Still the vein of the play was good; yes a good deal bet ter than many of. the popular price plays that have visited Astoria. It was sensational, and at times bor dered upon the melo-dramatic, but al ways remained with the bounds of the possible, and not going beyond the possible as is the case with pieces of the melodramatic variety. "The Missouri Girl" was just what the public turned out to see last night, and they saw just what they expected. A rural play with plenty of comedy and opportunities to laugh and that they enjoyed it was more than evident. The company as a whole was even ly balanced Miss Rae Filburn the character woman who handled the part of Mr. Grubb, "who could talk some when she got started" gave a good performance, as did Mr. Chas. Payne who was seen as her husband Mr. Grubb. The specialties given were good and thoroughly enjoyed, especially the song "Silver Threads Among the Gold" by the well known lady baratone Miss Blanch Edwards who won hearty applause by her ex cellent singing. Other specialties by members of the company met with the aproval of their hearers. For Sde. Twelve shares Northern Oyster companies stock, one hundred and thirty dollars (130) per share.

THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTOMAi OREGON. WEDNESDAY, SEPT.' 16 mm mi Plans to Deliver Telling Speech, but Audience Fails to Show Up. PEOPLE DON'T WANT REFORM Janitor and Two Reporters on Hand, but Thoy Had to Bo Thort, aa It Wat Mattor of Business With Thorn. Several Look In. ICopyrlfht, 1908, by T. C. McCluro. For four consecutive evenings Mr. Bowser had spent two hours each trenlnx In the library and had refused to explain his action to Mrs. Bowser. Bhe knew that he bad been writing and hunting up statistics, but could get no further. For four days and nights he went around with a deter mined and heroic look on his face, but aa he came home on the fifth she "saw that some sort of climax had been reached. Had he Invented a new style of bal loon T Had be bought a huckleberry farm? Had he found a substitute for but ter? Had be found a sure cure for hog cholera) Had be solved the potato bug prob lem? These and a hundred other ques ttocs flitted through her mind, but she was to ascertain that Mr. Bowser had done nothing foolish. Havtng announc ed at the dinner table that duty called him out that evening, he added "Mrs. Bowser, it may be something of a surprise to you, but I am going to make a public speech tonight hired Locust hall and gave out notices three days ago." "Is that why you have been acting so mysteriously for the last few even lngsf she asked. Had Been Posting Up. "There has been no great mystery about it 1 1 have had to have a lot of "HUHDBBDS PEOBABLI TURNED A WAT." I statistics to prove my case, and I know that if I mentioned the object you would discourage me." "I might have encouraged you In stead, although I confess that I see no reason for your making a speech What is it about?' Am i a respectable, law abiding and patriotic citizen of America or not?" he asked in reply. "Why, yes, of course." i "Am I an honest man?" -1 "Certainly." "Then your question is answered. Mrs. Bowser, you read the naners. Tou know that we are passing through au era of corruption, political and otb-. envlse. Patriotism and honor are dead, and graft and dishonor reign. The people no longer have confidence In anything. As a matter of fact any child ten years old can tell you that unless something is done at once this country is bound to go to the dogs." i "And you propose to keep it from each a calamity?" "I do. I have hired a hall. I have Invited the honest men in the com munity to come out I am going to make a speech a speech that will be the beginning of a new era. I shall show such an appalling state of af- fairs that men Will tremble. I shall put their duty so plain that none will dare shrink from it I shall sound the slogan of a new Bunker Hill. If my speech takes as well as I hope for j I may organize a new political party then and there. I believe that a new party called the Bowserites would sweep this country from end to end and restore the lost confidence and pa triotism." "Yes, It might." replied Mrs. Bowser In tones betraying her doubt "Do you expect a large crowd to hear you J speaK' 'IAI1 the hall can hold and hundreds probably turned away. There is a widespread demand for reform. The people are ready for it. It must come or the country must return to bar barism." "And and have you got confidence In yourself as a speaker?' "All the confidence In the world. It Is the one theme on which I can turn myself loose. The papers tomorrow morning will tell you all about it. We have arranged to have five or six re porters present. They will put a large share of the speech in capitals and Italics." "Well, I hope you will come out all right, but I'm sorry you went Into it. Hadn't you better run over your speech with me before you deliver it?" "No, ma'am, I hadn't I know what the speech .Is, and I know it's all right I don't want you throwing cold water on It at the last hour. Neither do I propose that you shall take the cre:Ift. f It I must now go and dress tor the occasion." When Mr. Bowser was finally ready to depart for Locust hall Mrs. Bowser rearranged his necktie a bit and pulled down his coattalls and said: "Mr. Bowser, I have got $1.78 that t have saved up." "Well, what of It?" "I'll I'll give you the whole of It If you won't make a speech." "By the seven spotted bulls, Mrs. Bowser, but do I find graft and brib ery right here in my own bouse? How dare you make me such an offer? You try to bribe me not to make a speech. to let the country go to the dogs, to permit the hydra head of corruption to be reared In every hamlet of America:" But I don't want you to make it failure, you know." "A failure! I make a failure! Why. woman, have you suddenly lost the little brains you ever had? Failure! I shall come home borne ou the shoul ders of shouting, cheering Bowserites. and you had best senu over for a hun dred candles to illuminate the house. V dollar and seventy-five cents as n bribe!" Mr. Bowser reached Lociftt hall to find it lighted, but the expected thou snuds had not gathered yet. In fact only the Janitor was present and there was no look of anticipation on his face. In fact, there was a look of disappointment lustend. and after n couple of minutes he approached Mr. Rowser and queried: "Say, now. can't you put this thing amaglg off for the night?" "What do yon mean, sir?" was asked "Why, let It go until some other time. I want to go to a scrapping match tonight, but If you are going t make a speech I've got to stay here." Capital Oppressing Labor. Mr. Bowser occupied five minutes telling his side of the "story, and vl:e: lie got through the Jauitor felt tli:it I; had been talked to In three dilTcic:: languages. He weut away ami down,-but he said It was another In fiance of capital oppressing labor bis union should hear of it. Ten v.': i!?es later a reporter arrived. Y. looked around the ball and then ut Mr. Bowser and said: "Going to be a fizasle. isn't It?" "I'm!" "Who is this Bowser anyway T "Uni!" "He's probably some old fake, and I'll not stay to hear him bleat" Five minutes passed, and then a lop shouldered, disreputable looking fellow lounged in and impudently queried: "Say, old hoss. Is there to be a fan dango here tonight?" "What do you mean, sir?" demand ".1 Mr. Bowser. Oh, an old speech or something by somebody or other?" Yes, sir; there is to be a speech here." "And Where's the beer?' There won't be any." "Oh, a sawdust speech, eh? Well I'm off.' Let the old blowhard blow." Then a second reporter entered an took a look around. The Janitor win!; ed at him, and he returned the vi: and sat down and looked solemn f Sve minutes. Then he approached Mr Bowser and respectfully asked: "Can you tell me the name of the party that is or was to orate here tbi cvening?" "His name Is Bowser, 1 believe." "Well, his wife seems to have L?;:: him at home and done a good thl:: I'll Just say that the meeting was r grand fizzle." There was one more caller. He wav a man that had attended a dance i: the same hall a week before and lo a quarter out of a hole In bis pock; t Tie had come back to look for it. Af: er casting aspersions on the character of the Janitor and telling Mr. Bowsci that he ought to be In the bosom of his family the meeting broke up. Mr. Bowser arose. The janitor arose. Mr. Bowser went downstairs. The janitor turned out the gas am! followed. Mr. Bowser went home, not borne on the shoulders of shotfting, cheering men.

When the many baseball critics are sizing up who is the greatest third acker of the year it would be a goud Idea for them to look up Arthur Dev Hn's record at that important station for the New York Nationals this sea ton. Devlin Is some pumpkins as a ball player, and the present standing of thf i V;' ARTHT7B DEVLIN, NEW YORK NATIONALS STAB THIHI) BACEEB.

Iowa's former star quarterback, has signed a contract with the board of education at Bakers Held, Cal., to coach the high school eleven and teach mathematics. He wOI resign from the post of similar character at the Blees Military acade my In Macon, Mo. i 9 i g I J it i; I, y -v J ft I -r j I A 2 r Li A f M AN INTERESTING SIDE LIGHT ON GAMBLING IS BROUGHT FORTH IN THE CASE In police court yesterday Frank Deneary was called upon to answer to the charge of being an .idle and dissolute person that is, of being le gally a vagrant. Deneary was ar rested a week ago on this charge of Patrolman Linville and the matter was postponed until his lawyer, C. J. Curtis, should return to the city. At the conclusion of the case yes terday Deneary was fined $40, with the alternative of 20 days in jail. Notice of appeal was filed.- This is the second case that De neary will have in the circuit court, for recently he was also found guilty of the' same charge and then as now his attorney appealed the case. "I have known the defendant for a long time," testified Officer Linville. "I have never known him to do any work. He lives upon money given him by a woman. "Is he married to this woman?" asked Attorney Curtis. "No; but he has a wife and child in San Francisco whom he has de serted." The attorney didn't pursue this line any further. "Hasn't he ever done any work hasn't he some business of a private nature?" again queried the attorney. "Yes," said the officer. "He has private business in poker games. He was in one last week." "Do you believe that poker games are lawful," asked Mr. Curtis, evi dently seeing some fun ahead. The witness stated that he knew poker games to be unlawful, and he said this in a decisive tone, but the interesting question of what game Deneary was in last week wasn't gone into. This matter was suddenly dropped. Patrolman Houghton testified that he had known Deneary for a couple of years and that he had never known him to do any honest work. He knew that he lived in a. house of questionable repute, and that he also was a gambler. The defense offered no testimony at all. It is said that since Deneary was arrested a week ago he has been working as a bartender in one of the saloons at nighfin the redlight dis trict. It was suggested yesterday that as long as the cadets are merely lined it is virtually impossible to rid the town of them; giving them a chance of "leaving town" simply un loads them upon neighboring cities. One man was "vagged" a couple of weeks ago and is now out in the Nehalem Valley, which seems to be a favorite place for some. of these men when the fates are against them, and some day he'll come back to town and start tending bar in some saloon it is said. Why the state law cannot be invoked against them while they remain in the county has not yet been explained A favorite way, too, is to have their cases appealed to the Circuit Court in the hope that some thing will turn up to present a loop hole for escape. It is said that there are in Astoria still a dozen or more men who never work, and who live off of fallen women, and that there are perhaps from 60 to 100 men here who bleed these creatures in one way or another. The whole subject is a repulsive one, but thanks to the ener gies of one or two of the police offi cers in particular the conditions are not at all as bad as formerly. Yesterday it was suggested that one way of handling the cadets of the redlight district would be to im pose jail sentences when convicted, with no alternative of a fine. Then, in addition to this they could be plac ed, tinder the charge of the street superintendent and set to work on the streets.' MEXICO'S JULY 4TH. EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 16 With booming cannon and ringing bells, the celebration of Dis Independence, Mexico's Fourth of July, began yes terday ,and the celebration was in full blast throughout the republic. The preliminaries to elaborate fiestas for September 16, which in a number of vears in Mexico's history have been remarkable for revolutionary disf turbances, passed off in Juarez acr.oss the river from here, without any de monstrations hostile to the Diaz ad ministration. No report 'of any out break along the border was received here.. WEST'S OUTLOOK PROMISING. Playsrt and Coaehts Are of the Opin ion That 1908 8taton Will B Their Grtatstt, Owing to Lapse of Thrss Year Rule Nsw Coaching Syttsm. The debut of the VMS football seitsuu Is nigh, and college- boys say tho out look waa never more promising for a aeries of hot coutesta which will test the skill and musclo of those who aspire to the cbauiploushlp. While the otlklul date fixed by the conference Is Sept. 20, there has been plenty of work already lu back lot puntlnf and summer resort tralulug tunts to hardeu the muscles and strengthen the breathing apparatus for the hard work soon to come. The official call for candidates has been sent out at Yale, and first prac tice will begin about Bept. 15. Har vard's squad will get together at about the same time, and as there are many positions to be filled the early prac tice will be of more than usual Inter est. Yale has lost by graduation Tad Jones, n. Jones, Alcott, Paige, Dines and Congdon, while those remaining of the regular team ore Goebel and Cooney, guards; Murphy and McBrtde, halfbacks, and Coy, fullback. How to fill the position of Jones at quarter back la the task before the coaches, whigh staff will consist of former Cap tain Blglow. Tad Jones and It. It. Burcb. Cornell coaches will call out the Itlm cans on Sept. 21, a week Inter tbau usual, although all of the old team and many candidates who expect tomake the new one this year have begun pre liminary work. C. II. Watson, left end for two years, may not play this sea son because of an injury to his leg re ceived In spring baseball practice. Princeton has finally arranged its dates, and Coach W. W. Roper will get the squad together for first practice on Sept 23. This later than nsual date is due to the desire of the faculty to have the athletic season made concurrent with the beginning of the college term. At tho same time the candidates hare been taking preliminary work, and when they report on the field their training will have reached a somewhat advanced stage. Francis Burr, the Harvard tackle and guard and one of the greatest punter the game has ever known, will have to work with almost an entirely new team, and bis success as well aa that of Coach Haughton will be watched closely. As matters stand now Harvard's prospects for the season are very hazy. Plenty of preliminary work will have to be gone through before any line will be obtainable on what the crimson has The 1008 season. In the opinion of players and coaches, will mark a de elded boom in football In the west, owing to the lapsing of one of the most disagreeable features of 1007. Last year both the seniors and the fredhmeu were out of the running as the result of the retroactive effect of the "three year" rule, but all of the four year men are eliminated this year, and the fresh men, sophomores and seniors will all be available as football material. The normal adjustment of the three year statute will have an Important effect on practically every one of the "big eight." Another source of satisfaction In the football camps Is the fact that the ob jectionable features of the forward pass have been largely eliminated. The offensive team this year will not be likely to have such an alleged un due advantage over the defending team in the use of the forward pass, owing to the changes which were made at the last meeting of the rules committee. Football preparations are being made at the University of Chicago, and Coach A. A. Stagg will take charge of the early practice In person, and he and AsHlstant Coach Leo De Tray will have all the candidates out at the start. Gllmour Doble, formerly star player on the Minnesota football team, suc cessful assistant coach at Minnesota for four years and who attracted na tional attention by bis success as a coach at North Dakota last year, bus gone to Seattle to take up his new po sition as football coach of the Uni versity of Washington team. With a new coaching and managing system and with twelve "M" men sure of returning, together with an abun dance of other good material to draw from, prospects never lookea better than they do this fall for a winning football eleven at the University of Missouri. When asked concerning the new managing and coaching system to be tried at Missouri this "year Coach Monltow said it was sure to prove an advantage over that of last senson In that It practically gives the coaches of the various teams full control over them both at home and abroad. The coaches of the basket ball and base ball teams, for Instance, make their own schedules and rules and manage their teams when on tho road work that has heretofore been done by a general manager of athletics and they co-operate with the other cooches dur ing their various seasons on what Is known ns a coaching board.

Dr. Buck overhauled tho outfit, nn l. abandoning the wagon bodies, long boards were net directly on the axlcts or bung below, and the stores were loaded In auch a manner that there were no further delays from break downs, ami the stores safely reached their destinations. In special emer gency, too, the load could he shifted or taken off In a hurry. The idea was probably not new, but Dr. Buck's .example was followed, especially when roads were rough, and Soon rnucl hauling was done by the use of wheels, axles and boards only.
