The crime of which the old man was convicted In the police court yesterday waa perhaps more the fault of persons with a decidedly peculiar sense of humor than Nelson himself, nd Judge AnJerson expressed regret tnut the evidence would not warrant extending the punishment meted out to the prisoner. Nelson is well along to ward the 70th mllentone of hla life and mom irouoiesome character. He waa fined $300 by Judge Anderson, and will send 100 days In the city Jail.

He has lost but two games this season and has pitched some hair-raising contests in California. Mr. Emerson Is attending the -state normal school at San Jose, and lately has been visiting with Homer Fletcher at Hoqulahv Mr. Fletcher came to Astoria with him, but re- turned home lust night. With Harry Graham, Mr. Fletcher Is In business In Hotiultim. He states that the business has proved an excellent one and that trade hns more than doubled since the young Astortans bought the. store. The bill at Hedrlck's jast night was the best yet presented at that popular place of amusement, despite the fact that the program was one number short, Baby Ruth having missed con nections, in consequence pf which she will not appear until tonight. Sam aon'a exhibition of strength was re markable indeed. ' He successfully withstood the strain of one of. the largest teams of horses in the city, and, standing 'with his arms folded, the horses were unable to budge him. Bell veau and Roberts, a musical-comedy sketch team, opened last night and were well received. Their singing and danc ing delighted the crowds which packed the house at all tWee shows. Trends and Whalleir got away from the regular Secretary Souden of the local car penters' union takes exception to the iitatcment of Manager Oevurts of the Star theater that the building waa ren ovated by union men. Secretary Sou den declares that union men did not do the work, and is anxious that the public should know It. Said he last night: "Contractor Gordon, who did the work, Is notoriously anti-union. During the Portland strike of carpen ters he hired men to go about town pre tending to be working, in an effort to demonstrate that the union waa mak ing no progress. But one union man worked on the Star Job. and he re mained only three or four days. A New York carpenter came to me, aaying he was stranded and asking for a few days' work. He said he could find work at the Stur, but refused It because It was a scab job. If the owner of the Star was anxious to do the right thing by union laborers, why did not he award the contract to an Astoria firm, that would have found union men He ex pects to do business here, and it would seem that he should have given local contracted a chance. Manager Ge vurtx says an effort was made to get local carpenters to do the work, but that hone could be found. Thla is bosh, for -the reason that union men would not go to work where scabs were em ployed. He also claims that the Port land men engaged were union men. This Is likewise nonsense. What Port land men would leave an eight-hour town and come here to work 10 hours? I am not now referring to that time be fore the theater waa opeued, when it was necessary towork 16 hours, but I refer to the work since done on the building. If Mr. Cohn wanted his playhouse built by union men, he could have found plenty of union car penters. 1 want the public to under stand that the theater la a non-union product." Mr. Souden also commented on the statement of Manager Gevurtz that Mr. Gordon waa awarded the con tract for the reason that he builds all of Mr. Cohn'a theaters. "If this is true, then why did Mr. Cohn have local contractors figure on plans which were prepared for the new building?" asked the secretary. "Why did he not ask local contractors to submit estimates and then award the contract to the lowest bidder? Theplea is flimsy."
