TROSrEROl'S ASTORIA.
Among certain element, the. opinion
prevails that the closing of the Astor
street dance halls will result in a loa
of population and the possible closing
of a number of business concerns. It
is estimated that 500 neaple will leave
the city. Let them leave. Those who
tee fit to seek another community be
cause they have been denied an oppor
tunity to indulge in their , lustful di
versions will not be missed. They will
represent the class that not only con
ceived and maintained the dance halls
bat supported them, and among the
emigrants will be a goodly number of
those miserable parasites, who depend
upon fallen women for their sustenance.
Surely no person, who is favored with
ore than a limited conception of com
mon sense, or morals, or whose intellect
assumes more than mediocrity, can per
re'iTe aught but good in the removal of
these places and their frequenters. Has
Portland suffered as result of Sheriff
Word's crusade? Of course not Then,
is it not reasonable to assume, or may
not the Astorian predict, with more than
small degree of certainty, that the cru
sade for a clean city will give Astoria
aa impetus such as it has never en
joyed. Rather than a business concern
being forced to the wall, iU patronage
will be increased. Money which here
Wore found its way into the coffers
of the dance hall element will be circu
lated through various channels. The
pittances leeched from the younger ele
ment will reach the merchants of the
city. The boys will eventually appre
date that self-support is one of the
rudimentary and most essential charac
teristics of the true manhood and they
will learn to husband the money they
earn and purchase necessities .rather
than depend upon the indulgence of their

may have been a subtle truth in that
incoherent utterance. The majority of
Americans are forgetful of all that
'Poor Richard" did for this country and
there is the possibility that his ruffled

PEACE CONFERENCE.
t
The outlook for a meeting between
the Russian and Japanese peace pleni
potentiaries is now most propitious.
True, the selection of M. Nelidoff and
Baron Rosen, as Russia's representa
tives, and of Minister Takahira and
Baron Komura, to act for Japan, are
only tentative, and it is possible that
Nelidoff and Komura will be unable to
serve, because of the ill health of the
former and of exigencies that will re
quire the latter's presence at Tokio.
Notwithstanding, while no official an
nouncement has been made confirming
the selections, that Rosen and Takahira
are regarded as certainties, is con vim
ing that both countries are more favor
ably inclined toward the consummation
of a peace than heretofore. Diplomat
ists, at Washington, look for an official
announcement of the personnel of the
conference in a few days. The fact that
this announcement is not now forth
coming is, probably, due to the insist
eace of Japan that the names of the
plenipotentiaries be withheld until more
material assurances are received that
Russia is acting in good faith. Since
the opening of hostilities in the Far
last, Japan lias been wary, in every
instance where questions of interna
tional importance were at stake, wait
ing for Russia to take the initiative
The declaration of war was due to Rus
sia's unseeming indifference to Japan's
repeated offerings of a peaceful settle
ment of the dissensions arising from
the Russian occupation of Manchuria
Japan was never in favor of the war
She is not only in favor of the Wash
ington conference, but of an armistice
and it is possible that a temporary ces
sation of hostilities could have been ar
ranged when the peace conference was
first proposed if Russia had shown any
inclination to meet Japan half way. Rus
sia is expected to make the official an
nouncement of her selections within a
few days. Japan will follow immedi
ately. That the. conference will occur
in August is practically assured. It
ahould result in the ending of the war.

Daughter of John E. Parsons Gets Sep
aration From Husband.
New York, June 27. Mrs. Edith
Parsons Morgan, daughter of John F,
Parsons of Rye-on-the-Sound, won her
suit yesterday for a separation from
her husband, David P. Morgan, at White
Plains. Mrs. Morgan charged that her
husband had cruelly treated her and
deserted her in addition to kidnapppiing
three of her children. She also said
he had speculated with some of ber
funds and invested some of the es
tate of his father and caused the estate
to dwindle.
H was last May that Mr. Morgan
kidnapped three of his children and
took them to Ithan, Penn., where he
kept them concealed, and this was the
beginning of the marital troubles of the
Morgan. Justice Keogh decides that
this was an act of desertion. Francis
Wellman, who represents Mr. Morgan
it is reported will carry the fight to the
Appellate Division, and, if necessary
to the Court of Appeals to gu t possess
ion of the three children, if it is within
the law to do so. Justice Keogh does
not grant Mrs. Morgan any alimonv
or order Mr. Morgan to contribute a
cent toward the support and education
of hi four children, Helen, Edith, Per
cy and John E. Morgan Mrs. Morgan
at the present time, is residing with
her children in a big country house on
the outskirts of Harrison, and she was
greatly pleased when she learned that
she had been granted a separation.
Justice Keogh finds that on May
29, 1904, the defendunt deserted and
abandoned his wife and without her
consent or knowledge carried off their
daughter Edith and their two sons:
that thereafter for two weeks the de
fendant kept their whereabout eon
eealed from the plaintiff and for more
than four month kept the children in
Pennsylvania. The justice finds that
for a long period prior to October 22.
1904, the defendant had been euilty of
conduct toward the plaintiff amounting
to cruel and inhuman treatment, and
that the welfare and interests of the
children require that they should con
tinue to res togifthrr with the
plaintiff.
It is said that Mrs. Morgan has her
children guarded because she fears Mr.
Morgan will again try to kidnap them.

a lower court.
The employing firm was under agree
ment with the union to hire only union
men and not to retain a workman after
a notice from the union that he was

he acted under this agreement, but the
court holds that he was not justified.
The court saysr

Attempt to Force Laborers to Com

Boston, June 27. The Massachusetts
Supreme Court handed down a decision
to-day holding that the attempt to
force all laborers to combine in unions
is against the policy of the law, be
cause it aims at monopoly of the labor
market.
