The most Important uni-tlng held by the chamber of commerce for many month took place at the chamber last night.

The report of tho treasurer was of exceptional In ten st, showing a thriving condition of the chamber, and Indicating, by the receipts, mi Increased Interest In the oigaulxation over lust year. Tin re was also an ch ctlon of oflleer. Mr. Van luisi-n was re-elected presl li nt.

Cray were chosen as mcm Ixtk ot the executive committee. Probably the most Important dis cussion coming up before the nucilng was that relating lo good 'muds. It was apparent that there wus a deter mination on the part of the chamber not to be discouraged over recent set backs. After a long and g iicral dis cussion of the subject it was decided lo appoint a committee of three mem ber to at t In conjunction with a sim ilar committee, from the Push Club fur the purpose of formulating some defi nite plan uf uctli-n for the future. Those who were appointed on this committee were J. W. Welch, K. J. Taylor and Mr. LVI.In, The committee on commerce and nav igation for the improvement of the harbor submitted a communication from Major Lnnglltt in regard to the proposed Iiiii rovemeuts of the Astoria harbor. The sume committee also made a report relative to freight rates be tween Astoria and Tillamook. An Important letter was read from Mr. 15, L. Lomnx, general passenger and ticket agent of the Union Pacitlc railway at Omnlm. This was in reply to a letter recently sent him by tho chamber relative to an adjustment of freight rate between Astoria and Kust tern points. In their letter to Mr. Lo iniix the chamber of commerce con tended that the rates from the Kust to j Astoria for passengers were greater than those from the same points to , other Pacitlc coast cities, particularly i in Washington. Mr. Lomax stated that the matter would be Immediately in vestigated niul closed his letter with the assurance that an equitable adjust ment from the Kast to terminals of the Northern and (Jreat Northern roads would be made without delay. Mayor l'ergman was nresent at the meeting and called the attention of the chituibcr to a receipt of a telegram from Mr. Hcnrst of tho New York Journal concerning fortifying the Nic aragua canal. Tho members agreed that the mutter was of groat import once nnd should receive Immediate at tention, vol lug to refer It to a special committee Willi instructions to make a report at the next meeting. The tele gram In question Is as follows: Astoria Is now beyond the reach of effective Kuropean attack.

The rumor was most vague as milling further than this could be lei.rin-d. It waa sail, houevtr, thnt the stall iieiil had bveu nude by a jfen tli'inan, who Is close to .dr.

I -4 CHIEF HALL0CK "ON THE CARPET" Charges Made of Alleged Dereliction of Duty. CALLED BETOKfc COMMISSION Commissioners Hear Charges and De fense and Decide Not to Dis mlss the Chief. Charge of dereliction of duty In ufllce were made last night a?alnt Chief of Police Hullock, and a special session or tne ponce commission was held for the purpose of hearing them. It wa charged by those who had made the complaint that Chief of Police Uallock had disr-garded his duty In that he had failed and re fused to enforce important ordinances ,,f tm, ,.ly There were several wit nesses on both sides, those represent In? the Camplalnants going Into minor detail and giving specific Instances ut these alleged violations. After the examination the commis sion discussed the evidence thoroughly from all points of view, and It was decided that the charges against Chief Hallock were not of sufficient conse quence to Justify his dismissal. Chairman Btone, of the commission ere, waa seen by a representative of the Morning Astorian at the Irving Club last night after the ad Juurnment of the commission. Mr. Stone stated that he considered It for the best interests of ail that the mat tr be not given undue publicity. He said the duties of the chief of police were peculiar In many respects; that many times acts were committed by him which were misinterpreted by the public. "In the enforcement of po lice ordinances," said Chairman Stone, "every one who knows any thing about the affairs of that de partment at all knows that a great amount of Judgment and discretion must be exercised. Tast experience In Astoria has established this fact be fond dispute. There are times when public policy Is not best concerned by too strict enforcement of certain or dinances required In the police regula tions." Mr. Stone further stated that It was the opinion of the commission that while Mr. Hallock may have been guil ty of apparent Indifference In some In stances they felt that as a whole they would not be Justified in dismissing him on that account. The exact charges preferred against Chief Hallotk could not be ascertained last night. It Is known, however, that some little complainsl has been made from various sources because of alleged laxity in the enforcement of the gam bling laws. However, In this regard, Mr. Hallock has not a few supporters, for it is argued that Astoria could not afford aa a matter of public policy to 100 strictly enforce the letter of the. law ' In support of this It Is held that Astoria, being a seaport town, must take more or less congnfzance of the demands made by that element going to make up that part of the com munity which is here because of the fishing and shipping Industries. It Is stated, with a knowing wink, by some, that the last of the matter has not yet been heard. Just what may be inferred from this Is entirely conjectural. Future events, however, will determine these things.
