Floor for Commercial Men ' V ' OREGON Charges Cruelty Against Driver Council Commitfei to- Invest! : gate the Alleged Brutality ' " of Louii Cardes. At last night's meeting of the coun cil charg's of cruelty were preferred agnlnst Louis Cordea, driver of the chemical engine. The chargs were filed by Councilmen Morton, Nord strtm and Hansen, comprising the com' mltti-e on fire and water. It Is alleged that drlvr Cordes beat "Chief," on of the horses, with a club In an unmerci lui manner. When the matter was brought before tbt council Mr. Bums said he thought It seemed strange that chnrgMi should not have been preferred by the fire chief. II moved the ap polntment of a committee to Investl gate and report to the council. Mayor Huprenmit naming the following coun cllmen: Messrs, Gums, Nordstrom and Wilson. City Attorney Smith will act with the committee. Under the proaont ordinance a member of the Are department can be removed only for cause nnd the council must, by vote, cause his removal. Mr. Cordes ridicules the statement that he was cruel to his hones. He said he hod occasion during regatta week to whip the team, but that be used a small -cent cane of the regatta sou venir style. -. Mr. Morton Introduced an ordinance' granting to fire engine drivers 10 days' vacation per year, at the expense of the city. The ordinance will be finally acted upon at the next meeting of the council. Chief Stockton reported that the West Astoria bell tower was In danger ous condition, and on his recommend ation the council referred the matter to' the public property committee with power to make the necessary repairs. Mr. Noidstrom Introduced a measure that will prove of eapccliri Interest to members of the Punh Club. The city park fund derived from the levy made at the request of tiie club was never placed In a special fund, but remained ed In the general fund of the city. Mr. Nordstrom's ordinance Instructs the auditor to draw warrant for the amount, l00, and the treasurer to cre ate a special fund. The bill will come up for final action two weeks hence. Conxlil.Tiilila discussion followed the rdlnB of a communication from J. Llndentwrgtr, who had been granted permission to use city property at the foot of Eighth street. The city author ities had determined to Institute pro ceedings to compel Wm to remove a ImlMIng which he had by previous per mission built on the street, and which hri'l bwn enlarged without permission. Tin! council finally decided that he should be allowed to enjoy the privi lege for an indefinite period and Mr. Smith was Instructed to suspend pro ceedings. The report of the board of equalisa tion on the assesment for the Improve ment of Cedar street was received. Mr. Wright stated that some of the proper ty owners were not satisfied and that they desired to address the council, but the courtesy was not extended, Mayor Suprenftfit holding that such matters shftuld be brought before the council in writing. This Is the first time on record where the privilege of appear ing before the council had been denied. Purveyor Tee reported as to the Im provement of Franklin avenue from Thirty-sixth street to the, claim line. He said that he would not recommend a macadam Improvement unless Hhe property owners generally petitioned for it. He also made a report on the proposed Commercial street Improve ment between Fourteenth and Seven teenth, recommending that U be de ferred until connection Is made or. Ex change street between Twelfth and Thirteenth. The matter was referred to the street committee. A communication was received from the Astoria Box Company urging the Improvement of Franklin avenue, In the East. End. The petition was pre sented In anticipation of a remon strance. Thrt surveyor reported on the pro posed Improvement of Ninth street be tween Franklin and Harrison avenues. Tt was declled, however, that it was nnd s-grced that the legislation should be done during the winter and the lm done during the winter and the Im provement made in the spring. It will be .necessary to re-establish some of the grades for this Improvement, as all ure not uniform, . An ordinance declaring the Intention of the council to Imnrove Duane street from Twelfth fo Thirteenth developed a discussion its' to whether red or yellow A be "irovlded .for In the contract. It seems that red and yellow fir come out of the same tree, but that some of the red fir recently used Is not up to standard. A motion to insert In the Cirs Why is Pears' Soap the best in the world, the soap with no free alkali in it sold for 15 cents a cake? It was made for a hos pital soap in the first place, made by request, the doctors wanted a soap that would wash as sharp as any and do no harm to the skin.' . That means a soap all soap, with no free alkali in it, nothing but soap; there is nothing mysterious in it, Cost de pends on quantity; quan tity comes of quality, . v Sold all over the world. ' ordinance a provision for either red or yellow fir lumber was put to a vote and resulted In an equal division of sent! ment. Mayor fluprenant decided against the red fir and the ordinance stands as it was originally framed, with the provision that the lumber used shall be yellow fir. ' , Resolutions were adopted providing for the Improvement of Exchange street and Thlrteentk street. The last named street Is only about 100 yards In length. An ordinance confirming the assess ment for the improvement of Cedar street and the connecting alleyway was passed under suspension of the rules city surveyor Tee asked and was granted a leave of absence of a few weeks. He is 111 with rheumatism and desires to visit Hot Lake. He aeked that N, D. Raymond be appointed deputy surveyor during his absence, but there Is noithlng in the charter pro vldlng for a deputy and the request could not be granted. Mr. Raymond will act during bis absence.

Fraud is defined as wrongfully swear ing to one's own qualifications or as to the qualifications of a person who la sworn In on election day. The ordinance was introduced by Mr. Nordstrom and passed under suspen sion of the rules. VOTER WANTED TO REGISTER Made Application About Six Months Ahead of Time. The first man to make application to register called at the office of County Clerk Clinton yesterday afternoon. He met County Judge Trenchard in the hallway and told him that he was anx ious to get his name on the registration book, and the Judge, with a keen eye for the humorous, referred the man to the clerk. Mr. Clinton toM him that there was no county election for eight months to come and that, he could not register now; . The man said he had nothing elae to do yesterday afternoon, so thought he'd register. He promised to call when the books were opened and , observe the necessary legal formality that is reautred of voters. While the man who called at the ! court house yesterday was about six j months too early, tho officials would like to encourage the disposition among voters generally. Elections ' come around and hundreds of men have neg lected to register, despite the Insistent urgings of the press and the exhorta tions of the stump speakers and ward workers. This indifference oreates end less trouble on election day. Thefe will soon 'be a city election and the reglstra Hon books will be open from November 2 to December S, inclusive. A full city ticket Is to be chosen, but tt will re quire the combined efforts of all public agencies to get 75 per cent of the voters to register. Surprising as It may ap pear, many voters are actually too timid to call at the public offices. The timid ones should bear In mind that courage Is positively not one of the qualifications, and that there Is noth ing In the formality savoring of an or deal. . . : . .Mrs Cornelius Rlerson has returned from Salem, .Dan Welch and Mrs. Welch have re turned from Portland. 1 Mies Ethel Palmier returned from a six weeks' visit In Portland last night. Marshall Kinney was down from Port land yesterday. August Hildebrand and Mrs. HUde brand are spending a few days In Portland. Ar. Marcotte to ' Leave the City Congregation Accepts His Resig nation and He Will Take the Portland Church. At a meeting of the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church held on Sunday evening, the resignation of Rev, Henry Marcotte as pastor of the church was accepted. In opening the meeting Mr, Marcotte stated that it was his wish that the congregation should unanimously accept his resig nation, as he believed the time had come when a change would be of be nefit to the congregation as well as to himself. He rejoiced In the fact that the relations of pastor and congre gation had alwnys been cordial, and said that wherever he might be called upon to labor his Interest In the As toria church would never cease, adding the hope, that his experience here would help him to better work In the future. ' ."v , ', ' :-. -';' Elder E. C. Holden (briefly address ed' the meeting, saying that no one held Mr. .Marcotte In higher esteem than he, but that. In Justice to the pastor, the congregation should consent to his leaving for a new field of labor. Mr. HoHon offered the following re solutions, whlchwere unanimously ad opted. , . "Whereas, The Rev. Henry Marcotte, after seven years of a successful past orate over the First Presbyterian church of Astoria, during which time he has endeared himself to his church and congregation by hit earnest and devoted efforts to promote the welfare and prosperity of the church and the extension of the kingdom of the Lord, Jesus Christ, has tendered bis resigna tion and now aeks the members to Join him In a request to the Presbytery of Portland to sever his pastoral relations now existing; therefore, be It Resolved, That, while we deeply re gret the severance of the pastoral tie that has so closely and harmoniously bound tiastor and people together for so many years, yet. believing that by a dispensation of Divine Providence our beloved pastor has been called of Gsd to labor In the cause of the MaBter In a larger field, and that under the cir cumstances the Astoria church would not be Justified In withholding Its con sent, therefore, be it further . Resolved, That, in compliance with the request of the Rev. Marcotte, this church accepts his resignation and will Join with him in a request to the Pres bytery of Portland to sever the pastor al relations, now existing to take ef fect the last Sunday In November, 190$. Elders J. T. Ross and John Bryce were elected as commissioners to the Presbytery to report the action of the congregation. The Presbyterians of ' Astoria a yet have no one in view to succeed Mr. Marcotte, whose coming departure from the city will be universally regretted. As has been previously stated, Mr. Marcotte will remain in Astoria at least until the new church is dedicated some time during the coming month. He Is to accept the pastorate of the Westminister Presbyterian church of Portland. THE REPORT CAME STRAIGHT A, & C. Officials Know Nothing of Humored Vandalism. Ofticlaln of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad aver that they have not been Informed of any attempts to wreck trains on the west side, and are inclined to regard the reported vandal Ism with skepticism. The report of the attempted train wrecking came straight to The Asto rlan from a source which cannot well be doubted. The informant was a well known woman resident of Hammond, and she stated positively that the at tempts were made to wreck the trains. The spot where the obstructions were piled on the track Is not 100 yards from her home, and she was one of the per sons disturbed during the night by the rowdies who .visited the little town. It is singular indeed that. If there Isi no truth in the story, officers from Ft. Stevens" should have made Investiga tion of the premises, and quite as sin gular that the fence railing from the Cunningham place should have been piled on the track. These Incidents and the absolute reliability of the in' formant are consideration altogether! too significant to Justify flippant dis missal as absurd of the idea of at' tempted tra4n wrecking. . The Astorian is quite willing to di' I vulge to officials of the railroad com' pany the manner In which it came into possession of the information published on Sunday morning, and the truth or which it has not yet had occasion to doubt, except as to the statement that the officials of the road had been ac quainted with, the circumstance and had duly reported the matter to the officers at Fort Stevens. It also wishes to disclaim -any Intention of attempt' Ing to slander the enlisted men at the post, who will be thoroughly vindicated by proof that the reputed effort to wreck the trains was never made, voter wanted -.
