Lefft Pominent Business Men Favor the Tuttle Amendment PHILANTHROPIST DIES. THE MORNING ASTOK1AN, ASTORIA, OREGON. Only 9 B&y DEMOCRATIC BULLDOZING Thrtats Made by tha Boa That Im provementa Will Be Stopped If the Tuttle Charter la Paaaed and the City Left in Darknei. In order to ascertain the opinions of the prominent cltlsens and taxpay era of Astoria on the proposed amend menu to the city charter, a representa Uv ef the Astorlan interviewed over B0P and with but a single exception, the Dositlon taken by the Astorlan was indorsed. The interviews were not confined to republicans, but included many prominent democrats. Every one interviewed was in favor of chang ing the time for the general election from December to June. Several of them were in favor of abolishing the police commission entirely, but all, with one exception, favored the ap pointment of a police commission com posed of one democrat and two repub licans to bold until the next general election. Dictator Smith, the democratic lead er, is opposed to the whole shooting match. He is opposed to anything that will not give the democrats all the of fices and perpetuate them in power. He even got so warm in the collar that he tried to Intimidate Mr. Coclldge of the Electric Light Company to compel him to go to the republicans and compel them to withdraw their amendments, and that if the amendments were not withdrawn, he with the assistance of the democratic council would stop ail improvements in the city and put out all the electric lights. This is the sys tem of bulldozing that has been used by the democrats to carry the city and county elections and elect democrats to office. There is a very large majority of the best citizens of Astoria who want a change In the administration of the pa lice department. It is a well known fact, said a prominent business man, that the police have taken an active interest In local politics, while the rules of the department prohibit it. What Astoria needs is a police force removed from politics and this is impossible under the present administration. Not only do they take an active interest in city politics, but county politics as well, and they use their authority to compel men to vote to perpetuate the democratic party in power. A prominent democrat stated that he was opposed to the present manage ment of the police force, for the reason that there was no legal police com mission and efforts have been made to file charges against a certain officer, but they were unabel to do so on ac count of there belne' no commission to try them. Every republican Interview ed, was in favor of the amendments proposed by Senator Tuttle, while there are not a dozen men in the city but what are in favor of changing the elections from December to June, the opposition being confined exclusively to democrats who are holding office, and several of the city officials, who are democrats, are noncommitul. A prominent members of tile cham ber of commerce stated that this wat the first time the democratic council had arrogated to themselves the au thority to prepare a city charter. That the charter prepare! by the common council was prepared and adopted by that body, without even consulting the chamber of commerce, and the chamber was composed of all the larg est taxpayers of the city and ought to have as much right to suggest amend ments as the democratic council. If the Tuttle charter were to be submit ted to the chamber of commerce it would be ratified by a unanimous vote, and it has more Interest in Astoria and its charter than Boss Smith anj the five democratic members of the common council.

Lyman, adopted by the Astoria City Teachers. Association, January 21. 1905. In view of the fact that the late'H. S. Lyman had been for several years closely associated with the schools of Astoria and the state of Oregon, and had rendered valuable service to the teachers and people of our county as superintendent of schools, and further. since he had enriched the literature of our state by his masterly historic stories and poems of the northwest, therefore, be It Resolved, That in the death of Prof. IL S. Lyman we, the teachers of As toria, have sustained a deeply felt loss; not only as an educator are we called upon to deplore his death, but as a dear friend and brother, who sympa thized with us in every effort that tended to the Uplifting of our profes sion, strengthening us by his wise counsels and noble Christian character. The state loses in him a son who bade fair to make her glorious with his pen, one, whose life lent only a noble argu ment to the creed of all who knew him, and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the papers for pub lication, and printed copies be sent to the relatives of Prof. H. S. Lyman. JENNIE N. BUSEY. MARY E. LEMON. LUCY B. MORTON. Committee on Resolutions. Old-Timer Gone. Seattle, Jan.20. Benjamin B. Allen, an employe of the United States aRsay office, is dead In this city at the age of 59. When the Southern Pacific rail road was build to connect with the Union Pacific, he came to San Fran cisco by way of the Isthmus in charge of the first locomotive ever brought to the Pacific coast. Mr. Allen Buperin tended setting up these locomotives, which were employed on the run be tween Sacramento and Ogden. S Danziger & Co. Cauaes a Sensation. Since the above firm announced its determination to remodel the entire i building and make its preent store double in size, people have Mocked to the store to secure a share of the great bargains that the old reliable firm Is offering. In order to make room for the mechanics to begin work. $15,000.00 worth of high class clothing, hats, shoes and furnishings at a saving of 25 to 50 per cent off regular prices. is a real picnic for all thrifty people, j The many improvements will take' an army of carpenters, painters, paper- ' hangers, plasterers, plumbers, labor ers, ets., several weeks to complete It, : but everything must be In shape fori spring trade if it should be necessary to work two shifts night and day. S. Danziger & Co. have the best wishes and support of nil Astoilans, as the people of this city feel the n.-ed ef a big clothing store where the best grades of Men's and Boys' wear can be had (without being compelled to look to Portland for their needs). It seems strange that a city as large its Astoria has never really had a store of the above character. HARRIMAN ISSUES BONDS. Lueien Cut off Goes to Coterie of New York Bankers.

Hel was the man who did the Job, framed the bill, sent It to Senator Tuttle with his name blown in the bottle In order to Insure Its passage. Should anything else go wrong in the legislature or any bills be stolen, lay It to C. J. When he came to Astoria 25 years ago he tried to be honest, but made a failure of it, and everything that has gone wrong since that time has been laid to nim. In order to relieve anybody else from responsibility In the matter and to save all controversy, C. J. ad mits the allegation, including the nlck-le-in-the-slot machine bill. There Is nothing like being magnanimous. There Is no use In denying anything when the preponderance of evidenec is against you. Charged With Seduction. Pendleton, Jan. 21.
