Responsible Sheriff Linville Blames Them for Much of the Rowdyism of Bad Boys Hherlff Linville entertains rhe opinion that parents are largely responsible fur the depredations of the bad boys who have been causing so much annoyance of late. The sheriff saye that there are scores of parents who have no knowledge of the whereabouts of their iboys from on day to another, and that this lack of parental rtwtrlctlon la to blame for the rowdyism occurring re cntty. 'The omVers Intend putting a stop to the pranks of the boys,' said the sheriff yenterday, "If It Is neoeaaary to arrest every lad In the City. The boys have In many instance become so bold that they do not hesitate at anything. Take the depredations of the Union town gang, for Instanoe. Thoae young ras cals formerly amused themselves by soaping the street car track on the steep hill leading out of Went Astoria, and by removing the. trolley from the car white It wss aacendlng the hill. This act of vandalism might have re sulted In the death of a dosen people. Such utter depravity Is appallng. "In the past we have often been ac tuated by a desire to protect perenta, and frequently when boys became In volved In trouble we would withhold names and settle raaes out of court merely because we dislike to bring die grace upon the fathers and mothers of the lads involved. Kindneas has ceased to be a virtue, and hereafter I will cause the arrest of every boy against whom complaint la lodged. His name, the charge on which he is arrested and all other facts will be given to the press regardless of the feelings of parents. Why, things have come to such a pass that the boys of the city constitute the very worst element with which we have to contend. If there la any method of putting a stop to this nuisance, you may rest ensured we will employ it "The parents. In many cases, are equally as much to blame as the boys. I have personally Investigated several cases of late and have learned that many boys go and come from their homes at will. Their parents see them at breakfast, perhape again at dinner, and then not again until the next morn ing. Many- fathers do not even know the time of night that their boys reacn home. The consequence Is that the young scoundrels run the streets day and night, getting Into all sorts of mis chief and causing the people of the city and peace officers constant annoy ance. Hatlafled that the officers win not srreet them out of consideration fur their parents, the boys have become so bold that they frequently liable them selves to terms In the penitentiary. "I especially desire to warn parents to keep closer watch on their sons In the future, else there wlH be wholesale arrests. We have determined to put an Immediate and effectual stop to youth ful acts of lawlessness, and the plead ings of mothers and father will here after count for naught This Is final and emphatic." Chief of Police Hallock heartily con curs n the views entertained by Sher iff Linville. The chief says his force experience much trouble with youth- ful offenderi and that hereafter he will arrest them, regardless of any senti mental feeling that he may feel for the parents. It Is his Intention to Inforce stittt observance of the curfew ordi nance, and boys found out after the bell rings will be Jailed and held for trial In the police court the following forenoon. Three of the boys convicted Thursday of assault are at liberty. Paul Mar Ion paid over his fine at once, and yes terday Genrhart Lohtl snd Stephen Jarvl were balled out of the county Jail. Young Jarvl I a brother of Mattl Jarvl, the Finn lad who muraereo. his father because the old man came home In a drunken condition. The younser Jarvl is said by the sheriff to be a tough customer. The Marion boy'e brothers are among tne moei popular young men of the city, and his recent escapade Is regretted for their sake. Joseph OMJrlen, one of the sexette, was In trouble in Portland for assaulting a Chinaman, and was sent to the re form school HE STAYS WITH HIS FRIENDS Claud Norman Refuses to Leave the County Jail t'lnuit Norman, one of the six boys convicted of assaulting Chong Chinn. declines to allow his brother to furnish his ball because Borne of the other boys cannot produce the necessary au. in lieu of ball the boys must serve id aays In Jail. Paul Marlon. Gearhart Lahtl and Stephen Jarvl are at liberty, but Nor man, Joseph O'Brien und Emtl Munson were remanded to .tail. Yesterday Nor man's brother Called at the office of Sheriff Unvllle and offered to Pay the fine imposed by Justice Goodman. When the sheriff went to the Jail to tell vounar Norman that he was ot lib erty to leave, the lad refused to do so. He explained that the boys had agreed to stand together in tne matter, ana that, if all could not secure their liberty none would do so, All efforts to Induce the tad to change his mind proved fu tile. ... 1 ' During the day several friends of ths prisoners. Including young Jarvl, frequented the Jail yard. The convlc tlon of the lads Is the talk of the youth ful element, and It Is thought the les son will prove a valuable one.

Say Attorneys Sensational Allegations In Six teenth Street Injunction Proceedings HAWES' $3.00 HATS. The hats of latest vogue and for ev ery face, figure and fancy; fully guar anteed, S. Danslger & Co., sole agents. Just a few minutes before the office of County Clerk Clinton was closed yes terday afternoon Attorney C. R.Thom son filed Injunction proceedings In the circuit court to prevent the city from collecting ansessmente for the improve ment of Sixteenth street. The cause will not be beard until September 21, when Judge McBiide will arrive In the city. It Is customary in sucb coses to ask the county court for a temporary injunction, but .his procedure was not followed In the suit filed yesterday. According to the complaint there was fraud In the awarding of the contract, and it was specifically charged that the) members of the count 11 street commit tee who slgad the contract were cog nizant of the Improper condition exist ing at the time of the award. It is al so alleged that the street contractors entered into a conspiracy whereby Mr. Goo. tin would receive the contract, and that the offer was excessively high. The first ground for the action is the allegation that City Surveyor Tee made no regular survey of the street and er red In compiling his estimate of the amount of excavating to be done. This error, It Is charged, has resulted In greatly increased assessments. The complaint continues: , 'The plaintiffs are Informed and be lieve that, prior to the time set for open Ing the bids for making the Improve ment, the defendant, W. A. Goodln, wrongfully, unlawfully and fraudulent-v ly entered Into a combination with other street contractors to prevent competition In the procuring by them ot contracts for street work, and in consequence thereof Goodln- was the only bona fide bidder on the Sixteenth street Improvement, and Ms bid was excessive and unreasonable, being for S12.SM." ' The complaint goes on to recite that the street committee held no meeting for the purpose' of opening bids for the work, and that no contract was awarded by the committee; that prior to the time the contract was signed by two members of the committee and by Goodln, It m known to them that the estimates of the surveyor were incorrect It is charged that CouncilmenRobinson and Wright, without the knowledge of Chairman Burns, wrongfully, unlaw fully, fraudently and secretly entered Into the alleged contract with Goodln; that Councilman Wright Is, and was at the time of the alleged award, In the employ of Contractor Goodln, and there by Interested In the matter. It Is con tended m conclusion that the contract Is wholly Irregular and in violation of the law and the rights of the plaintiffs. The court Is asked to issue an order restraining the contractor from pro ceeding with the Improvement, and to restrain the city from assessing the property of the plaintiffs for payment of the work. Attorneys Thomson, F. J. Taylor and J. Q. A. Bowlby repre sent the plaintiffs In the action. .

THEIR FRIENDS ARE ANXIOUS Concern Entertained for Safety of Daring Mariners Friends of Nick George and Nick Geurges are getting anxious as to their fate. It is now 12 days since they put to sea in fish boats,- headed for Ban Francisco. Peter Greema, a fellow countryman who was making inquiry about them yesterday, stated that if they made Taqulna, the rest of the voy age. he believed, could be safely made. Oieema fels, however, that is by no means certain they got as far south as Yaqulna und they may have capsized and drowned. Greatly to their disadvantage, they started in separate boats, which will prevent their getting much sleep or rest, but Greema thinks they may have abandoned one boat after being out a few days, so as to gtve themselves sleep and watch alternately.
