ASTORIA, Or.. May 30. (Special.)
The cruiser Charleston arrived here
today and tbia afternoon she and the
gunboat Yorktown left the river
In charge of pilots Patterson and
Frahe. The vessels ' are to anchor
tonight at St. Helens and . will reach
Portland at 0 o'clock Sunday morn-lnK.
The cruiser Charleston and the gunboat
Yorktown will reach the harbor at 9:30
o'clock tills morning. They left up from
Astoria at J :40 o'clock yesterday and
anchored off St. Helens last night. The
torpedo-boats will arrive later In time
for the Rose Festival. Flans for the en
tertainment of the officers and men of
the mosquito fleet during their stay In
the harbor are -well along."
The Pacific Coast Association Of Adver
tising Men will have the naval officers as
guests of honor at the banquet to be
given In the Commercial Club dining
rooms tomorrow night. At the meeting
of the boar'd of governors of the Com
mercial Club tomorrow noon. It Is likely
that further steps will be taken by the
club to entertain the'naval officers while
here. They will also be guests of honor
of the Rose Festival Association at the
ball to be given next Friday night and
will occupy prominent places In the re-Mewing-stands
at all parades during the
Festival.
Immune From Pranks.
The naval men will occupy seats of
honor at the head table at the advertising
writers' banquet tomorrow night. It is
understood they aro to be immune from
the pranks that will be played on prom
inent people who will be present, and as
extended speeches are taboo, the officers
are assured a pleasant dinner.
Formal invitations have been issued to
them to attend the ball at the Armory
Friday night given by the Festival As
sociation. Automobiles will meet the
officers at the Stark-street landing and
carry them to the Armory and return
them after the ball. They will be asked
to wear full naval uniform and this is
expected to add a striking feature to the
ball. Army officers from Forts Canby
and Stevens, as well as from Vancouver
Barracks and forts at Boise and Spo
kane, together with all retired Army offi
cers in Portland, have been invited as
well, and are expected to wear their
uniforms. ,
Bluejackets to Go Free.
Bluejackets from the war vessels will
have the right of way throughout the
city. Theaters are expected to honor the
uniform at every performance and the
streetcars will probably be glad to carry
the sailors about the city free of charge.
They will, of course, be conspicuous at
the Festival features, which are out-of-door
affairs. The association will not
urge the bluejackets to parade unless
they desire because it is felt by President
IVhltemore that it may be a burden, as
the sailors have been turned out to
parade at every city they have visited
on the cruise. That the Festival would
ll.'e to have them in the line of the march"
or the various parades goes without
saving.
The East Side has asked thai the men
go to the East Side on Thursday night
and participate in a masquerade carnival.
The fleet will be asked to take a promi
nent part in the water carnival on the
river Wednesday night. Mayor Lane is
willing- to name a committee of citizens
to collect subscriptions to entertain the
officers and men of the fleet more elabor
ately if it is desired. Ben Selling offered
yesterday to donate JoO as a starter
toward such a fund. A subscription list
may he made for this purpose.
On the whole, the officers and men of
the mosquito fleet will not lack for en
tertainment during their stay In the city.
Business men generally and private en
terprises will sliow them courtesies and
citizens will do all they can to provide
amusement for the city's visitors.
LAW TO ENCOURAGE GREED
Mr. Floss Says That Lower Colum
bia Fish Bill Is Vnjust.
urely our timber shark should have the
ttame right to all timber in Oregon. And
then surety it vould be high time for our
legislators to create laws to tax the people
of this state for raising timber, so that our
timber sharks do not run short in supply,
because they are making annually $;U.
000.O0O. That is about 10 times more than
the whole fish business together.
These few men. who make this most
greedy and unjust fish law propose to the
remainder of the citizens of Oregon, these
most destructive salmon sharks of any in
the state, who catch about 95 per cent of
all the salmon therein, call themselves the
"Columbia River Salmon Protective Associa
tion." and "the best citizens of Oregon!"
Who laughs here?
.What fool exDects such laws as that one
to be respected? Bo our legislators expect
that the ahlDvlnr of these fish out of our
state, and legislative prevention of the most
of . its citizens to get hold of them, in our
streams will enct-urage progress ami settler
ment in Oregon? Don't you think that It
would greatly encourage the settlement in
O.-egnn if all our streams were filled again
with these fish? If that would be the cause,
W1 1 it then, that our Legislature never
tries to encourage the settlement of Oregon
in that way and never prohibits Ashing
these fish in tidewater altogether? Would
it not be a 'good deal better for the salmon,
as well as for our state, if the members of
the Columbia River Salmm Protective As
sociation would go and do some land clear
ing jind let the salmon run all over the
tate and spawn and hatch fish?
Why are not all fishermen forced by law'
to catch only enough salmon for local trade,
at a certain time, for the citizens and
guests of Oregon, and forced to let all other
salmon go up stream to spawn? Why are
not such fishermen Drevented by law alto
gether, at least for some years, from can
ning ana snippng any of this royal fish
game out of the state, like deer, elk, beaver,
etc., with their game, if we are short of it
and want to Increase them again ? If we
make laws like these, cut down the length
of the fishing season and the length of the
different nets; prohibit canning and ship
ping fish in other states altogether; cut
down therewith the profit of fishing, and en
courage thereby all these fishermen to clear
some land and raise some onions, 'it will be
much better for the progress of our stata
and for the progress and increase of our
salmon, too. We will have no need then to
tax ourselves for supporting fish hatcheries.
And there won't be any need for prohibiting
a citizen to catch, ouce in a while, a fish on
his property for the support of his family.

BATY OR BAILEY
Captaincy of Detectives Is
- - Still ' in Doubt. -
MALLETT IS A SURPRISE
LATOrnEI.T.K FALIJ5, Or.. May 11. (To
the Editor.) The bold and shameless ln
lustlce. greed and selfishness exhibited In
soma of the projiosed new laws and amend
ments to our constitution, on which we hav.
to vore at tho next election, are surprising.
It seems almost, that soma people Imagine
that our glorious initiative measure was
solely placed In our Constitution for the
very purpose to support them in their un
bounded greed and selfishness. The top and
crown of these newly proposed unjust laws
Is undoubtedly the new proposed tax reform
law. which appeals ao nicely to the selfish
ness of the people "to slip out of the burden
of equal taxation and roll the whole burden
of It on the shoulders of the minority." If
that scheme norka and sefishness prevails In
this ease rather than Justice, then we may
expect to have soon a collection of similar
lawa In this state, which will make living
therein soon to be a burden.
The two newly proposed fish laws seem
to be proposed by the highest and most
shameless type of greed I ever saw. but In
Justice must say, that the law which the
lower river fishermen propose, beats that of
the upriver fishermen In Injustice and greed
at leaj-t a thousand miles. Here is a small
class of people, who call themselves. In de
fense of their newly proposed fish law, "the
best cltlsens of Oregon." In spite of the
fact that they mostly gttther from all parte
of the glotte at fishing time on a small part
of our most outside state line on the Lower
Columbia, attracted ther. oy the else,
q.iality and quantity of our royal salmon.
They propose to us a law "to dtsfranchlsa
ourselves of the right and privilege of tak
ing apy of said fish at any time of the year
out of any river or stream on our land, on
which we pay taxes and extra taxes again
for spectally hatching and raising said fish
In special fish hatcheries, by a great fine
and punishment and to give these greedy
men the exclusive and my rlKht to catch
these fish the whole year round as soon as
the fish come in from the sea again to do
their spawning: and to deplete In such a
way these royal fish In all our rivers and
rreeka and streams for the sake of the un
limited greed of these few men and to the
non-protlt of the remainder of the people In
pur state who tax themselves single anu
double to make ends meet."
Po these greedy and most destructive ene
mies of our roval salmon believe that all
rivers and streams of Oregon and all sal
mon therein are only created here for them,
and that tha remainder of the reople of this
slate have to tax themselves single and
double to hatch and raise these li&h for
them, so that they can catch, can. sell and
send thfm out of our suite to strange peo
ple, as fast as possible, and to the shippers'
profit? If these greedy nsh-sharks have a
right to all saln.on which swim in all our
rivers and streams, as some of our unjust
legislators think they nave, so that the peo
ple of Oregon must be taxed to support and
feed tha greed of these men and they are

Ordinance Regulating Sealing of
"Weights and Measures Ieaves Of
ficial Sealer in a Quandary.
Councilman Kellaher's ordinance, reg
ulating the sealing of weights and
measures and providing "for tho
appointment of Deputy Inspectors, to
serve without pay in various places,
seems to be impracticable. Sealer of
Weights and Measures Buchtel, after
adjusting the affairs of his newly-created
office, has found himself con
fronted with a most difficult problem,
he has informed the City Attorney.,
Mr. Buchtel and his paid deputy, it
is learned, are making good progress
with their work, but it seems that the
Sealer of Weights and Measures is tri
able to determine a means to fulfill
the provisions of the Kellaher meas
ure, which calls for deputies in the
wood and coalyards and at other places
in the city, and requires each such
deputy to put up a bond of ,500. He
has applied to the City Attorney, ask
ing for a solution of the problem, and
none seems to be at hand.
How to force any man to act as a
deputy without pay, and at the same
time to compel him to furnish a bond
of 1500, is said to be a question never
yet answered, and it is said that, in
all probability, this section of the ordi
nance cannot be enforced.
"I confess that I hardly know what
to do," said Mr. Buchtel, in discussing
this latest phase of the ordinance. "I
seem to be unable to force anyone to
be a deputy without pay, and further
more, I know of no means to compel
anyone to serve and also put up a
bond. It seems to me that I am left
without power to enforce this provi
sion of the ordinance. I have submit
ted the matter to the City Attorney,
in order to see if he can find a way
out of the difficulty."
"It seems that it is going to be ex
tremely difficult to enforce the pro
vision of the ordinance as to deputies
to serve without pay," said Deputy
City Attorney Grant "I cannot at this
time see how this can be done. Re
quiring a bond, it would seem, tends to
make the matter worse."
The ordinance requires ' that the
Sealer of Weights and Measures shall
appoint deputies for all wood and coal
yards Jn the city, to serve without pay,
and who must furnish to the city a
bond of 500, to guarantee faithful
service. "
REPLY TO MR. COMSTOCK
In the 20th Century Men Cannot Be
Forced Into Religious Belief.
CORVALLIS, Or., May 18. (To the Edi
tor.)"! see clearly why such outspoken
unbelief should be suppressed, even If the
pains and penalties of the Inquisition
should be invoked as of old." Such is the
gist of Mr. Charles A. Comstock's article
in The Sunday Oregonlan of May 17, In
regard to Mr. Stout's article of a few
weeks past. Had his sentence been writ
ten before the dfeat of the Spanish Ar
mada it would have "been in tune with
the time; written as it is in the 20th cen
tury, it comes to us as an echo from a
barbarous priest-ridden past, a past when
men who did not hold accepted views in
regard to the great unknown suffered
we will not enumerate their tortures at
the hands of the Holy Inquisition. And
Mr. Comstock sees the need for a return
to the barbarism Just escaped from.
What does Mr. Comstock think of the
men who ratified the first amendment to
the Federal Constitution?
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof.
We answer in his own words: "Out
spoken unbelief should be suppressed, even
If the pains and penalties of the Inquisi
tion should be Invoked as of old." Is
the answer sufficient?
Men like Mr. Comstock, who are con
tent to allow the sentinels on the watch
tower of creed to do their thinking, are
secure In their rlsht to continue as they
are. They have neither the right nor the
power and never will have while American
blood Is red to suppress "outspoken un
belief," as Mr. Comstock says he sees the
need of doing. No. The agnostic or
whomsoever thinks independently on re
ligious matters may be frowned upon, and
generally Is, yet his future in the United
States is secured by the Constitution. As
to his future after death, we cannot say,
for we do not know.
We agree with Mr. Comstock that the
worthy leaders of creed should refute all
charges brought against their respective
priVrJons. Discussion is said to broaden
the mind, yet how can we have discussion
on religious subjects if the negative be
suppressed by means too horrible to de
scribe, as our friend says it should be?
The writer is glad to let others solve the
great problem for themselves, or have it
solved for them: but denies the right of
one to force his solution upon another.

Stands First in Competitive Exam
ination In Spite or Bad Record.
Certain Authority Said to Fa
vor Baty and Oppose Bailey.
The Civil Service Commission, It de
velops, made a serious blunder in the
(recent examinations for Captain of Po-J
, n.a a. reeuit. it. is apparent tnat
the administration Is embarrassed to
a considerable extent- After the ex
aminations were checked up, the names
of Patrolmen Mallett. Riley anl Circle
were certined as eligible for the posi
tion, which becomes vacant through
the recent discharge of ex-Captain of
Detectives Bruin. Temporary Captain
Baty, now commanding the secret serv
ice staff, passed fourth on the list, al
though he is said by Chief Gritzmacher
to be the most logical man for the
place. It is the strong desire of the
powers that be to give him the perma
nent appointment, and it may be that
he will .receive the coveted plum yet.
It has become known in official cir
cles that in the recent examinations
the Civil Service Commissioner! failed
to check up the record of Patrolman
Mallett, and Chief Gritzmacher has
called their attention to this oversight
in a communication. The Chief is also
in part at fault, as he admit, inas
much as he did not notify the Com
missioners of Mallett's somewhat shady
record prior to the examination!.
Mallett's Standing a Surprise.
Patrolman Mallett passed first on the
list, to the surprise of many, and in
order to do this he required the rec
ommendation of Chief Gritzmaelier. It
is understood the Chief gave Mallett a
recommendation equal to 25 points, en
abling him to pass with high credit.
in some manner yet to be explained
the fact that Mallett was fined S25 for
accepting a reward for tin return of
a deserter from the United States Army
contrary to the orders of the police
department, was overlooked. Had this
record been placed before the Com
missioners it is now said that Mallett
would have fallen far below bis pres
ent credit marks. Mallett lias a rec
ord that Is said to be unenviable, both
as a. policeman and as a private citi
zen, and that Chief Gritzmacher and
the Civil Service Commissioners should
pass this over as they did has created
no end of surprise among those -vho
are cognizant of the facts. Mailctt ,B
said to have deserted a wifa and chil
dren while serving as a tpecial officer
in the once notorious Paris house, and
it was openly charged that, while in
plain clothes as a member of the China
town detail some months ago, nis con
duct was most suspicious, and he was
transferred to, uniform duty by the
Chief.
While Chief Gritzmacher did not no
tify the members of the Civil Service
Commission of the record in Mallett's
case, it is a fact that tho entire record
is on the books of the Commission at
the City Hall, but no one went to the
trouble of checking it up.
Information on the subject is exceed
ingly hard to occme, Due it is now
known that the certifying of Patrolman
Mallett's name is regard! in ofllci.il
circles as a grave mistake on the part
of the Civil Service Commissioners, and
from a high source it was learned yes
terday that the administration will not
appoint Mallett to the captaincy, lit
fact, from what could be gathered, it
seems that the police authorities will
endeavor to secure a readjustment of
the matter of Mallett's record, if Civil
Service rules will permit, as it is re
garded as somewhat humiliating that
his name should stand high on the list
when his record is so cloudy.
Either Baty or Bailey.
It is believed that every effort possi
ble will be made by Chief Gritzmacher,
in order to please certain of the powers
higher up, to secure the appointment
of Captain Baty as the permanent head
of the detective staff. His services
while occupying the position tempor
arily are said by the Chief to have been
excellent, and it is known he is in
favor with the chief power of the de
partment. Commissioner Greene. If
any other officer receives the place it
will in all probability be Captain Bail
ey. In such case Policeman Riley
would be placed in command of tue
second night relief of patrolmen, and
Captain Bailey would be transferred
to the detective bureau. If the police
authorities can find no means of con
tinuing Baty in charge of the detec
tives, Riley's appointment seems cer
tain, and Bailey's promotion to the
plain-clothes branch is said to- be as
sured, in spite of known opposition
from one of the powers that be.
MICE START $15,000 FIRE
Home of Spokane Country Club Is
Reduced to Ashes.
SPOKANE, May 30. Spokane's 400
lost its swellest resort at 4 o'clock
this morning, when the Spokane Coun
try Clubhouse was destroyed by fire.
Mice and matches are held responsible
for the blaze, which completely de
stroyed the building. The reservoir,
which should have been full, was dry
and the firemen could get no water
and were unable to check the flames.
The loss is etsimated at .15,000, with
about $10,000- insurance. The fire may
result in the club selling the grounds
now occupied and building a new club-
house farther from the center of the
city.
WOMEN AND THE- BALLOT
Mrs. Duniway Tells Two Preachers
Not to Worry, '
PORTLAND, May 30. To the Editori)
It would be anfusing, if it were not
so pitiful, to note with what tenacity
two reverend bachelors, Clarence True
"Wilson and George F. Thompson, are
struggling to hold down the mothers of
men to the archaic notion that nothing
but ballots, monopolized-' by men, can
keep a sheltered woman within her God
appointed and self-consecrated sphere as
wife, mother and home-maker. This
writing is to assure such preachers that
they needn't be afraid. Their bread and
butter isn't at all in danger. Women will
go on supporting them in arrogance and
luxury long after wiser and braver men
have extended to them their right to
vote.
Such Is the power of habit that great
changes do not come suddenly. Mean
while, it is comforting to note that
clergymen of eminence do not share the
alarm of these preachers lest the oppor
tunity of casting a ballot once e very
year or two. if they choose, will make all
women "mannish."
