SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1903 4 WATERFRONT ITEMS YESTERDAY THREE HUNDRED OUT OF POCKET UIUMTJ llMUllttJilllll DAY BY DAY THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. GERALD C. DUE IN TODAY WITH DEEP-SEA FISH CARGO ROSE CITY OUT FOR SAN FRANCISCO-BREAKWATER'S RECORD RUN FROM COOS. The Elmore motor schooner Ger ald C, is on her way up from Tilla mook today, and is probably making several successful hauls with the Obee trawls for deep-sea fish. There is a good deal of interest manifested m the outcome of this business and a fixed fresh-fish market is among the possibilities for this city and port. The steamer F. S. Loop cleared for San Francisco and left out yesterday morning. The oil tank steamer Asun cion was another of the vessels to pass out yesterday morning for the California coast. On Friday of this week Captain Genereaux, of the Marine Underwrit ers, intends to try to float the Minnie Kelton with a system of barges, and the steamer Melville and the Calen der fleet of barges will go to the low er bay to execute the work. The famous Delia will leave out this morning for the lower coast, with plenty of general cargo betwen decks. Captain Bob Jones says there is no need to worry about the "pup" as she will pull through with any of the "liners." The steamer Sue H. Elmore went to sea and Tillamook yesterday. She carried out a five-ton boiler for the C. L. Fox lumber mills , the new plant that is to do a 50,000 foot per day stunt there pretty soon. The swift steamer Charles R. Spen cer will be at the Callender dock at 1:30 this afternoon, with a big ex cursion crowd on board, it being the opening gun of her summer excursion runs. PARTY BY THE NAME OF COLE FROM PORTLAND, ROBBED OF THAT SUM ON FRIDAY THIEF SUPPOSED TO HAVE GOTTEN AWAY ON ROANOKE The police of Astoria have a clover bit of work ahead of them and arc working-it out carefull and it is hopett successfully. It has to do with a theft in tins city on rrway last 01 ?ouw in gold coin. It seems that two partners arrived here from Portland on Thursday night's express, en route to San Francisco, and to take the steamship Roanoke henoe at 10 o'clock on Fri day morning. The name of one of the twain was R. M. Cole, the name of the other has not been ascertained at this office. During trie morning hours of Friday Cole proceeded to get drank and was altogether successful: and in the height of his "souse" he called at the office of the Callender Navigation Company, at whose dock the Roanoke was then lying ready for her departure, and demanded two tickets for the Bay City; he was ac companied by an individual whose name is not obtainable, but who is supposed to be an instrumental artist in the dubious precincts of "Swill town." Cole's irresponsible condition prompted the company's officers at the dock to refuse him more than one ticket on the steamer, and he 'got that are paid for, slinging his gold twen ties around in lavish and reckless fashion, but finally gathering them to gether and staggering away with his companion. Sometime after his departure, and after the Ronoke had cleared from the dock and was close to the Colum bia bar, a man came rushing into the Callender office demanding to know if "his partner Cole, who had all their joint funds, had bought any tickets , and if he had sailed on the Ronoke?." He was told all that the agent knew I of the circumstances and he left for j town. A bit later, Officer Du Boise, THE MORE HEARD FROM THE ! FISH-BILL VOTES OF ORE GON THE LARGER BECOMES AFFIRMATIVE STRENGTH OF THE PROTECTIVE MEASURE. The Morning Astorian is glad to herald, day by day, the growing ma jority that innures to the protective fish bill over its antagonist from the fish-wheel camp up the river; the figures are becoming decidedly inter esting and the four or live thousand votes still to be reported may event ually, and righteously, wipe out the meagre affirmative attaching to the predatory measure. At the hour of going to press this morning the fol lowing totals were available: Fish-Wheel Ilill 318, Yes Columbia 679 Yamhill 1.454 Marion 2,533 Clatsop 324 Multnomah 10,880 Polk 1.178 Umatilla 1,877 Morrow 524 Grant 852 Malheur 231 Wasco 1,846 Sherman 392 Washington 1.655 Benton 910 Gilliam 430 Josephine 763 Lincoln 317 Union 1.478 Tillamook 379 Clackamas 2,105 Lane 2,434 Linn 1,983 Jackson 1.552 Baker 1,514 Totals 39,978 Majorities 4,832 Protection Bill The steamer Shna-Yak from the Bay City entered port yesterday 0f the police department, came down morning and went on up the river and will load lumber out of Portland for the return voyage. Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Edwards and Fuller are due in this port on the 16th instant, to inspect the steamers Tatoosh, Mayflower, El Hurd, and James B. Stevens. The steamer Rainier cleared from! the Tongue Point Mills and this port yesterday for San Francisco, with 870,000 feet of lumber and went to sea on the evening flood yesterday. The steamer Alliance is clue down and out for the Coos Bay country this morning, on her usual schedule. The sea tug Geo. R. Vosburg has left out for the Xehalem coast, with mill supplies for that section. The steamer Homer arrived in late yesterday evening from the Bay City and went on to Portland at once. The steamer Yosemite was among the early get-aways yesterdays morn ing leaving out for San Francisco. r TEA T How little it is! How little it adds to the weight of the cup!

This man was then taken to police quarters and was later dismissed, having satis fied the police that he knew nothing of the theft nor of the thief. The presumption was then plain that whosoever had robbed Cole had used the Roanoke for a get-away, and messages were at once despatched to Eureka and San -Francisco to the police officers, to search for the pas senger holding a ticket out of this port, of a given number, upon a charge of robbery and hold him until warrant and extradition papers could be sworn out and an officer sent after him. Up to a late hour last night no word had been received in the case, but the information is likely to come in at any moment, when, steps will be tak en to round up the business in definite shape. The steamship Rose City came down at 3 o'clock yesterday with a large crowd of passengers and left out an hour later for San Francisco. The steamship Breakwater, arrived in this port last night at 10 o'clock after a record run up from Coos. She left there yesterday morning at four o'clock.

The vote cast is as follows: For the fish-wheel bill, Yes, 11,838, No, 9,443; for the protective measure, Yes, 14, 214, No, 6,916; thus radically increas ing the majority for the last named bill. The figures on this absorbing contest now give the protective bill an absolute majority of all the votes cast in the State in this behalf; while the fish-wheel bill has but a meagre majority within the purview of its own vote.
