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

In the great amount of Important busi
ness that came up before IL Helng
an adjourned S'fHlon ot the annual
meeting some of the reports of officers
for the yi-nr were submitted, among
tin so being those of the secretary, trcus

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

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:

Mr. Mayo Discredits the "Promised
Industrial h'ensation."
A report was In circulation yesterday
uflci'iiooii to the (led that an indus
trial sensation wan In store tor Asto
ria. 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. Hunimond,
which led to the inference that In all
probability an extension of the railroad
01 the cncllon of a satvtnlll waa in

loiluti representative jthdnlay Mr.
Mayo, of the Ai-tori.i road, fald lie waa
nol aw are of any proposition lo under

said he wus only recently In conference
uith Mr. Hammond combining the af
fairs of the company and that nothing
of the kind wus referred to oy Mr.
Hammond.
Lutcr on Rome one on the street said
thai tho rumor was bis' d uion the re

pany to erect a la rue hauuuil at Ham

.iMicd lo contain or deny the truth of
this statement.
"oh, busy-bodies nr, abroad apaln

the reply.
"And supposing they mUht entertain

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.
