Fanny Mattson who has for some
time been uiving the police much
trouble for disturbinu the peace and
conducting a disorderly house at
Third and Water street, was arrested
by Officer Wilson yesterday. She
was arraigned before Judge Anderson
yesterday and found guilty of the
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct for which she was sentenced
to 10 days' imprisonment. This, is the
same woman that had her two little
girls taken from her by the Boys' &
Girls' Aid Society, of Portland, some
time ago as she was not considered
the proper person to whom Uie chil
dren could be entrusted for their
bringing up.
Springfield Rifles
Charles Abercrombie, city attorney,
who is one of the prime movers in
the organization of the company of
the National Guard that is about to
be established in Astoria, received"
yesterday one of the rifles that the
company will be armed with. It is
one of the new Springfield, said to l-" 'MPc v,fu i acasme unm

states. The navy, however, still has
the Krags. It is said that the newt
Springfield weight 14 pounds, and if
this turns out to be true, the Astoria
boys who are going into the new
company will find that the life of a
soldier is not all play. To carry a 12
pound shot gun, or an eight-gound
rifle on a hunting trip all day is no
joke, while a 14-pottnd military weap
on will probably seem like a small
cannon.

carriers in Astoria next Saturday will
not be a very prolonged affair. Be
cause of the fact that the delegates
will have to hasten back to their
work, only the one session on Satur
day night is to be held. Some of the
Portland carriers will have to be back'
at their, jobs by noon of the next
day, and thus it may readily be seen
why the convention will at least be
notable for its briefness. The local
carriers have prepared a banquet for
the visiting delegates, to be held in
Red Men's hall. It is expected that
about 25 will be present from out of
town, and the business session will
be held in the city hall. The follow

SHERIFF POMEROY
GETS TORVA
MAN WANTED IN WALQU1ST
CASE IS FOUND IN LOGGING
CAMP NEAR SEASIDE.
Joe Torva, the man wanted in con
nection with the assault on Matt
Walquist last Sunday morning, was
arrested by Sheriff Pomeroy in a log
ging camp about four miles out from
Seaside yesterday afternoon. Acting
upon a suspicion that Torva was in
hiding somewhere in that part of the
county, the sheriff went to Seaside
yesterday morning and began an ac
tive search for the missing man. No
trace at first could be found of
Torva, but in the afternoon it was
learned that a man answering his de
scription had hired out at one of the
camps only a day or two ago. Sher
iff Pomeroy went put to the camp,
but because he had never seen Torva
and had only a meagre description of
the man wanted, was slow about mak
ing the arrest. He found the new
man and saw at a glance, that he
answered the description, but the fel
low claimed that his name was Matt
son and not Torva. The name of
Mattson at once strengthened the
sheriff's suspicious, because it was
over a woman of that name that the
bloody row of Sunday morning is
supposed to have occurred. After'
further parley, the man finally admit
ted that his name is Torva. Sheriff
Pomeroy took him to the train and
landed him in jail here last night.
Walquist, the man who was stab
bed and cut, is not seriously hurt and
is in the city jail, but at first it looked
as if his injuries might prove fatal,
and there seems little doubt that his
assailants thought they had killed
him.
The two men first arrested in con
nection with the affair insisted to
Sheriff Pomeroy that it was Torva
and notthey who had used the knife
on Walquist, The authorities have
had much difficulty in former cases
of this natuVe. Usually the men prove
clannish and refuse to talk or to bear
witness against each other, with the
result that the authorities have been
unable to see that the law was up
held. Tired of such tactics on the
part of certain ones among the local
foreign population, an effort will now
be made to see that the man who
should be the prosecuting witness in
this case Walquist either gives the
testimony that he should, or, else
steps may be taken to punish him for
aiding in the compounding of a fel
ony, or on some other charge that
may be made to hold against him.
The Mattson woman, near whose
place the fracas occurred, was arrest
ed Wednesday night upon a charge of
disorderly conduct and sentenced tto
10 days in the city jail.

TWO MORE TORPEDO
CRAFT TODAY
VISITORS MAY SEE FLEET OF
FOUR MINIATURE NAVAL
VESSELS IN PORT TODAY.
The two little torpedo boats lying in
the harbor, the Goldsborough and
the Rowan will be joined this after
noon by the Fox and Davis, two
others of the miniature naval craft
that have been at Portland since the
Rose Festival. It is expected that
the two will arrive down about lor
2 o'clock this afternoon and tomor
row the little fleet of four will start
on their journey down the coast to
Eureka, where they are to appear for
the Fourth of. July. From thence
they will proceed to San Francisco.
Hundreds of Astoria people have
visited the two little vessels as they
lie near the Lurline and Undine's
dock, and especialy noticeable has
been the great number of young per
sons who have availed themselves of
the opportunity to see torpedo boats
at close range. For the "kids," the
presence of the boats, and especially
the presence of the sailors, has been a
notable event, and many of the little
chaps have literally haunted the
clocks the past few days. ' The lieu
tenants and midshipment in charge of
the vessels have apparently taken
pleasure in showing visitors about,
and for those who have not yet seen
the little craft, this afternoon should
prove an excellent opportunity, when
the four will be in harbor.
To sea-going men of this coast the
four craft are familiar, as the Fox,
Davis and Goldsborough were built
at Portland, and. the Rowan at Se
attle. Once before the Fox came into
Astoria harbor, that time with six or
seven men dead or dying on her,
caused by the bursting of a steam
pipe. The history of the Golds
borough has not been one that added
to her laurels. She "broke" her

government finally had to complete
her. She was taken up to Bremerton
and since then has not been out of
the waters of the Sound until now,
when Lieutenant Ghent brought her,
down to Astoria. He says she acts
like a good sea-going boat.
The sailors on the Rowan and
Goldsboough were paid off just be
for eleaving Bremerton and didin't
have much of a chance to spend their
money there, and it is probable that
when they leave here tomorrow they
will be sighing for next pay day to
come.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION
Will Admit 5000 A Year For 7 Years
To Honolulu.
HONOLULU, June 25.-The
Chinese committee which has charge
of the agitation for a modification
of the Exclusion Laws so as to per
mit of a limited immigration of.
Chinese to these islands, has receved
a letter Ifrom Mnister Wu Ting
number of Chinese immigrants it
suggests should be admitted here an
nually. ,
The committee has replied that it
desires that 5,000 a year should be
admitted for about seven years, in
addition to their families. It esti
mates that with such an immigration
there would be at the end of ten
years only .about 50,00 Chinese in the
territory. As there -are between 60,
000 and 70,000 Japanese in the terri
tory, the committee feels that this
would not be an unreasonable num
ber to keep the balance of the two
nationalities in the islands.
