ALLEN, Tenth and Commercial Streets ASTORIA, OREGON lleport Has It That Some Other Vessel will Re Stationed Here Next Wluter to Aid Ship, ping Interesm. If all goes well, and there Is scant reason to believe that It will not the revenue cutter Perry will 'deport to night for the sound. Whether or not she will ever again return to Astoria Is a question that can not be answered. If Intimations which have reached the port can be relied upon, she may be replaced here during the winter months with some other vessel of the revenue cutter service. The-Perry Is In need of repair. Some time ago, soon after the completion of the Portland drydock, the cutter was doped to be repaired there. The story proved to have been mythical, however, resulting no doubt from the enthusi asm with which completion of the dry- dock was characterised. Perhaps some effort was made to Induce the depart ment to send the Perry to Portland for dockage, but If so It failed, for she Is to go to the sound now and there be renovated. After coming off the sound drydock the cutter will be fitted out for her regular Alaskan cruise. She will pro ceed north just as soon as repairs can be made and supplies taken aboard and will remain In northern waters until fall. She will be one of a fleet of sev eral vessels to spend the summer In Alaskan waters. The cutter Is now being prepared for her trip around to the sound, and It Is Captain Dunwoody's hope that he will be able to get away tonight It was stated yesterday that perhaps the Perry would not return In the fall to Astoria, where she has wintered for several years past, but that another and larger vessel would be sent down. Just what object the department might have In making the change was not stated, but It Is presumed the officials of the service are anxious to locate here a cutter large enough to render correspondent for a German Illustrated newspaper during the war In South Africa. Meyer was with the Doers, and one day, during one of Kuller's at tacks along the Tugela he took a post tion on the firing line. The fire from the Hrltiah batteries across the river was very heavy during the preliminary period of the assault, and shells liter ally rained on the low lying kopjes oo cupled by Kotha's army. Meyer thought he saw a god opportunity to secure a fine picture, and he Jumped out of his schanse" to snap It Just then a big lyddite shell exploded within a few feet of him. killing htm Instantly. afterward secured his camera, which was comoaratlvely uninjured. When the film It contained was developed discovered that Meyer had made beautiful photograph of the huge shell which had snuffed out his life. I sent a copy of the picture to his relatives In Germany. Syracuse Telegram. Shop Force Struck Port Jorvls, N. Y May iB.-The shop force for the Erie Company at this po'nt struck today.

The Perry Is almost too small for effective work of this sort Every winter there Is more or less damage to shipping because of heavy weather, and a larger cutter would be of great assistance.

BOUGHT GOLD BRICK. Victim Tries to Dispose of His Buy to Government. San Francisco, May 25. United States mint offictalsdlscovered yesterday what appears to be a gigantic "gold brick' swindle, with E. Cohn of the Crossley building as the victim. Cohn took large metal bar to the mint yesterday morning for deposit The experienced eyes of the receiving clerk, Major D. L. Noggle, discerned that the Ingot had a suspicious appearance. The doubts as to its genuineness were confirmed by an assay, not a trace of precious metal being found. When Cohn was advised In the aft ernoon of the results of the assay, he staggered as If he had been shot, A companion. In the excitement, turned to the man with the exclamation; "I told you so! I told you that It was a swindle!" The pair took the worthless bar away with them. Subsequently Superin tendent F. A. Leach of the mint advised Secret Service Agent William J. Burns of the peculiar transaction. The mint people are satisfied that Cohn was the victim of a "gold brick" deal, and prob ably was hard hit. Major Noggle noti fied Superintendent Leach that had the bar been genuine it would have beenworth $25,000. As It Is, the assay showed It was absolutely worthless. The brick, as described by Major Noggle, was a rough, blackened affair, not gilded, but of. brass, with the ap pearance to an unpractlced eye of a bar of alloyed gold. In size It .was large enough to have carried $25,000 In gold, but not heavy enough to be precious metaL E. Cohn is a money lender In the Crossley building. Cohn's brother said today that two brothers named Gut ter, race track men, had obtained from K, Cohn $17,000 on many different schemes, and the latter was pressing them for payment of the debt. Max Gutter let Cohn know that be had the Notios to Contrsctors.
