Floor for Commercial Men OREGON Degenerate In Law's Meshes John Sipola Arrested Yesterday by County Authorities for Unspeakable Crime. "I desire to enter a plea of guilty. I'm up against It, And to offer any other plea would be folly," When Frank Adams was arraigned before Circuit Judg- SliDrlde yester day on a charge of criminal assault, he mads the above statement to the court lie emued to t utterly discouraged. lo you fully realise the enormity of the crime tu which you are pleading guilty? akd plan-lit Attorney Allen. "I do," replied Adums. "But I am guilty and It would b urn-lea for me to muktt a light. " Mr. Allen then plained to the court Unit Adums was without counsel, and Judjj.i Mitsrfdij nuked the young man if he defied the services of an attorney Adwns replied that he did not, re pealing that his guilt mud this step lliuiecewmry, The maximum penalty for the crime of ipe, which has b-en lodged ugulnst Adams, Is in .) imprisonment In the penitentiary, and, feeling that, Adams should bv given every opi-ortunUy to pr"iu a ruse, if he so desired, Judge MUrlde gave him until today to cn elder lh matter, Should he enter his plea of guilty again today, the court will fix a time for passing sentence. fortunately fur Adams, the court did not catch a remark- which he perhaps unconsciously uttered yesterday when brouKhl In for arraignment. Mr. Allen hud asked hint If he thoroughly real Ised the seriousness of ihe charge to which he was pleading guilty, find Ad ams replM: "X', I know what it menus. liut I'm guilty, uud I don't give h d-m what you d'j with me." i Tm authorities ha e-been very dW--nt In their Invr-stlgatlon of the car nival of crime In wheh Adams was a parUclpiuii, uiiil It. fuie the pres-'iit term of llie in-ult i ourt I over a slate f affiilrs will he viiiiluted that will horrify the entiiv state. Mr, Allen s,ud yem.-rd.ty that he, had been con nected with th- dlstrlet nttorney'R office had heen compelled to deal with more filth thij past w.-ek than had ever b fore hceri brought to his attention, i Tim conditions recently existing are positively appalling, i nd the more thorough the research of the officials' the more horrifying npars the nature of the prnctle s of the degenerates with whom the autlioillles have to deal Yesterday Sheriff Mnvllle HireRted a man tunned John 8iM,la In connrttlon wlih the youthful cr'mlnal cases that are being dealt with. Sipola Is a man cf (5 y ars and Is employed as "swam ar" at a downtown saloon. He was Implicated In horrible practice by wit nesses brought before District Attorney Allen. .Mr, Allen questioned the man yesterday, and at the conclusion of his statement he signed a written eonfeg. slon that Is really the limit pf crime. The ehjllren, t-o, were tanen before Mr. Allen 'or examination, and their eonfcsshloim were painfully sweeping. Indeed, there Is so much evidence against the accused man that hln con viction. Is a foregone conclusion. From .he statements of all the par ties Involved, It seems that one of the children vns first ruined hy Slpolu, and that she Induced the other gltla to fol low her course. A an Inducement, Slnnla furnished the children with small sums of money, with which they bought candy, Ice cream, eto. Individually and collect ively, the children continued their prac tices until the authorities loarned of the matter, and It Is whlsred around that others or? also Implicated. When the authorities started their crusade agnlnst youthful rowdyism they hal no Idea of the extent to which the vile practices -of degenerate men had b?en carried. Sheriff Llnvllle has stated that he will probe the situation to the very bottom, and from the as tounding facts w hich have already been adduced It Is probable that other start ling disclosures will follow.

There trasan excursion on the Co lumbia at tn ertrly hour yesterday morning by a delegation of Astoria clt- Uns 'coking out for the Interests of Astoria as a shipping port. The pur pose was to observe the condition of ths channels at mean low jtfde and ascer tain the effect of the dredging Mng done by the W. S. Ladd. The trip wet made at the Instance of James W. Welch, president of the Chamber of Commerce and the party included besides himself. Judge J. Q. A. -Kowlby, B. Van Dusen and O. W. Lounsberry. the other three members of the committee on commerce and navigation of the ChamisMr of Com merce. Othr citizens accompanying the commlte were: Hon. Frank Hahn Martin oard. Frank R. Stokes, P. I, i Cherry, Brltleh vice-consul, Hon. A. j 8c herneekau. Dan Welch, John Gratke ! of the Evening Budget, and an asm- ! rlan man. Among those at th whurf I to see the party ojf, but unable them- j selves v go were Judge Frank Taylor ! and Mayor Buprnant. j Th trip was made In the steamer j SI Her, Captain Rabhldg at the helm. I The usual course by ship channel was j followed to Altoona pear Millers sands. ; The time of arrival at this point gave, j a fortunate opportunity for getting a ! line on the channel to Astoria, for the j Pott- r was Just leaving this city for Portland. The Potter's cours? w i noted as she zigzagged up the river ! end It was plain that tn following the accustomed channel to Altoona she cov ered three or four miles mrre thin would be marked by the crow's flight. Returning the Siller tried the experi ment of a b1 line to Astoria's wharf which necessitated crossing from the north to the south channel. The exper iment was successful. Soundings wn-e made along the route and the lead-line showed that at no place was the depth 1-ss than 13 feet. The Potter might huve follow?! 'the same course and saved several minutes' 'time. Th sundi sem to oe gradually cutting away along this more direct course and It Is Hi belief of some members of the party that It would bbetterfor the dredge to asaist the current iiTcutting deeper a connection between the two channels than to continue trying to keep open the present circuitous course ! of the channel now used. Furthermore, the dredge Is now depositing sand at a point, which It Is b'-lleved will per mit of Its being eventually washed to the south side of the river and against the Astoria harbor, Already mud has accumulated to a depth of s:-ven or eight feet opposite the wharfs of the lumber mills. . A report on- the observations and probably recommendations will be agreed upon by the committee on com merce and navigation and will be sub mitted to the Chamber of Commerce bt its meeting Mondayjiight. All who observed the conditions yesterday agre that close watch must be kept on the shifting sands above the city, and the matter will no doubt receive earn est consideration at ths hands of the Chamber of Commerce. ANXIOUS TO BE EDUCATED. The recent Chinese reform movement has had the effect of arousing the en thusiasm of local Chinese residents, and there Is a healthy desire among them to acquire An American educa tion. Leong Yot, a 17-year-old nephew of Leong Yip, a merchant, cut off his queue on Monday and started for school, and Yip says he will make an other 17-year-old nephew, Leong Yet, do likewise. The Chinese women of Astoria have subscribed $600 to the re form fund. This fund is being created to maintain educational Institutions in China, with the end in view of fitting the Chinese for the civilized life which the reformers purpose that they shall hereafter follow.
