ASTORIA'S REGATTA
Several New Features to be In
troduced This Year.
SOMETHING FOU THE FARMERS
Proportion to Hold a County Fair In
connection With the Regatta, Giving
Farmeri an Opportunity to Kihibtt
the Product! of their Farms.
Although the regatta committee have
not perfected all the detail for the an-
nual regatta to be held on tbeftttk of,f T'- I "n,,aJr ln
August, certain feature have been sug- ' Mr- K ''I'-apman, of Jai
getel whh-h have aptaled to the com
mit tj-e a worthy of .consideration. . Tl
program for tlie water aporte ha not
yet been made up, but it is certain that
the principal event will be a fishing
host race for which a bale of twine val
ued at $143 will probably be given, with
about four cah prize in addition ,mak- j
ing It an object for the fishermen to
partiiipate.
Ttwre will no doubt be m
fireman' tournament In connection with
the html rt. which W alway an at
tractive feature of regatta and bring
a large crowd of people
It ha been suggested tifst a county
fair be held in connection with the re
gatta. . Either rent a large building or
fence oft a portion of Duane street from
Tenth to Sixth, and have an exhibit of
the product of Clatsop county. There
i no doubt but what the farmers will
participate, and send in product of
(every variety, including dairy product.
Sufllcient priw will probably be offer
ed so a to make It an rnducernent for
the farmer. Judge Bowlby ba been
an enthusiastic advocate of tin feature
and it is probabla that it will be turned
over to him, with authority to appoint
sub committees and make arrangement
for 'the fair. Nothing definitely ha
been agreed upon but suggestion are
being offered which he committee will
no doubt consider. The purpose of the
committee Is to originate entirely new
features, less expensive and whh-h will
be more attractive, at the same time ad
vertUe the resources of Clatsop county
which ha never been done. Wry few
people visiting the fair know little of
Astoria, except that it I a fishing ham
let somewhere near the ocean. There
i nothing or record at the Portland fair
to give them any information, but the
advertising of a regatu will no doubt
lie sufficient Inducement for thousand
of Eastern visitor to visit Astoria dur
ing the land and water carnival.

BRENNER FORGER
Police Believe the Arrested Man
is a Professional Crook;
MONEY FOUND ON HIS PERSON
Believed that Over a Doten Merchant
Were Victimized by Smooth Swind
ler as the Amount of Forged Check
Discovered Amounts to I216.00. .. ..
The forger, Brenner arrested Satur
day night by the poli for uttering
forged check on several of the most
prominent merchant, wa interviewed
yesterday. He refuted to make any
statement, in fact, he ba not
been informed on what charge he lias
been arretcd. He stated that he came
to Astoria on the Roanoke and that he
worked bis passage up; that when he
arrived here he had $7. In searching
hi belongings the police found two pawn
tickets on the New York Loan Office, of
Portland, one for a Waltham watch,
(7.00 and one for a diamond ring, (4.00.
The. tickets are made out in the name
of George Sullivan. MTien asked how
he came in possession of tbem, be stated
that he had met Sullivan down on the
dock and they had been drinking to
gether in the afternoon, and Sullivan
gave them to him, saying that he was
going to-leave and had no use for them.
Among the effects were found a num
ber of business cards from different cit
ies; a book containing the names of
merchants and firm in other cities and
towns, showing that Benner is a -professional
forger. When he was taken to
.Tail Saturday night and searched he
had $liS on him. A large number of
his vk-tims did not know anything about
the foregry until they read the Astoria n
ian yesterday morning, when additional
victims went to the police station with
their forged checks. In addition to those
mentioned yesterday, Nels Simonson, S.
A. Gimre and Bod Jeffery have been in
duced to part with money for the worth
les- checks.
The total amount of the forgeries so
far discovered amounts to (216.00, show
ing that Brenner had an easy graft and
found no difficulty in cashing checks.
It is probable that a soon as the cae
i disposed of m tlie courts an , order
will be made by Judge Mt-Bride, to pay
the losers the flM pro rata.
The forgeries are very clever. "They
are made payable to Fred E Anderson,
and are. endorsed by Anderson on tlie
back. Chief Hallock had him write the I

names of Fred E. Anderson and Jena H
Hansen on a slip of paper and compared
it with the checks, showing identically
the same hand writing. A number of
the Saturday night check cashera went
to the city jail yesterday and identifies!
Brenner as the man who has passed tha
checks. He came from Denver to Cali
fornia and from there to Astoria aaa!
has probably worked several of the Cal
ifornia cities . T .
Astoria has been worked the past
year by forgers' more than any other
city on the coast, the checks always be
ing passed Saturday nights, in order t
give the forger a day in which to get
out of the country. Merchants have beem
repeatedly warned against eashing any
checks on Saturday night, except for .
persons they personally' know, but tha
warning has had no effect, and the foryj- '
ed check industry will probably always
thrive in Astoria. District - Attorney
Allen will file informations against
Brenner either today or tomorrow and!
he will be arraigned in the justice court
Another matter that has been conduct'
ive to the propagation of check forgers,
much leniency has been shown. In Cal- '
ifornia a forger gets not less than 29
years and from that to 40. A little
California justice in.As'toria might result
in putting a check to the business and '
is the only thing that will.
