Fleet Leaves Today The torpedo fleet in the harbor was augmented yesterday by the ar rival of the Fox and Davis from Port land, and the four miniature naval vessels are scheduled to leave out for Eureka some time this morning un less the weather should be particu larly bad. The Rowan and Golds borough took on coal yesterday morn ing. Nearly every sea-going man who has looked the torpedo boats over has remarked that he wouldn t care much to be outside in one of them with a gale blowing. Two of the four stand fairly high in the water, but the other two have hardly any free board at all, and yesterday when the Fox and Davis came down the river they seemed to be mostly under water half of the time. There will probably be not the slightest trouble in getting in over the bar at Eureka unless the sea is running high, and in that event the little vessels are sure to be tossed around quite a bit. They draw only a few feet of water, however, ance hence the depth of water over the bar need hardly be considered. Japs On Board A few months ago the newpapers of the United States were agitated over the fact that the Atlantic fleet, then about to start on its long voyage around the Horn, had a number of Japanese on board as servants. On one of the little torpedo boats lying in the harbor the past few days there has been a Japanese steward. Many of the local Japanese have visited him frequently, and his and their men presence seemed to cause not the slightest comment. "You can't get white men to act as stewards on these torpedo boats," said one of the men connected with the miniature war vessel." A white man, if he is a good cook, won't stay with us because of the dangers and the inconveniences under which he works. I believe there are many Japanese now on the big naval vessels of the United States fleet. Chinese are utilized, also, and negroes are used as wait ers. Perhaps it wil be news to many to learn that during all the excite ment incidental to the threatened trouble with Japan there were many Japs on the naval vessels. May be a Dangerous Man A, man thought to be insane creat ed quite a little excitement among the residents in and about Warren ton yesterday. He was seen on the streets going through strange antics. He ran aimlessly, about town carrying a suitcase which he would throw around and acted strangely in other ways, leading those who saw him to think that his mind is badly unbal anced. One person from Warrington reports, that he was last seen at the outskirts of the town acting oddly at a little stream. He was playing around, and all of a sudden he jump ed in with all of his clothes on and swam to the opposite shore, and then darted into the woods as if he thought someone was after him. Lat er another report came from Ham mond stating that a man had been seen around town there acting in much the same manner as the one seen at Warrenton. The report has it that he is a rough looking fellow and there is considerable timichty felt, especialy among the woman folks of both places, as they say he isn't the man they should care to meet along a lonely street in the evening. He is undoubtedly a stranger in these parts as no one who has seen him recog nized him as belonging to this com UN 1 ii The Methodist and Baptist churches will meet in union services at the Baptist at. i; lla. m. and at 8 p. m. next Sunday. Rev. C. Will preach at both will Morning-'The True Christian Life and Ideal." Evening " Christianity or What?" It is expected that a large congregation will hear both 1 these sermons. Special music will be a feature of each meeting. EVERYBODY IS CORDIALLY I! WELCOMED I m WWWWW W WW 444444 iHllltll 4 ONE PRISONER IS BOUND OVER JUSTICE GOODMAN HOLDS ELI TERVA ON THE CHARGE OF ASSAULT ON MATT WAL QUIST. Eli Terva, one of the trio accused of the assault on Matt Walquist last Sunday morning ,was bound over to the next criminal term of the Circuit Court yesterday by Justice of the Peace Goodman. The three men,! nr t i f i 3 ,.. icrva, jonn aaima ana Anurew Kotti, were arraigned in justice court at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and each pleaded not guilty, and each, when asked if he wanted an attorney to represent him, answered in the negative. During the progress of the hearing it became evident that Terva was the principal in the assault, and while the evidence was not clear or satisfactory, the two other men were able to satisfy the court that they had little if anything to do with the actual assault. Thereupon at the close of the hearing justice Goodman discharged Salma and Kotti, but held Terva and fixed his bail at $100. The Mattson woman, whose place down near the Iron Works was the. scene of the melee, was placed on the stand, but her testimony was of such a contradictory and rambling nature that it did not throw much light on the matter. She told many stories, but out of the chaff of her testimony there was enough wheat to corrobo rate i a slinlti clrir'-eo what the oth ers had said, She is now serving a sentence of ten days in the city jail, and was immediately returned there after her testimony was given. Wal quist, the man who was cut up in the fracas, did not prove an overly zealous witness, either. An information will be filed against the man held, Terva, in the circuit court today, and it is probable that he will also be arraigned before Judge McBride this afternoon. The case is merely another one of the brawls among certain of the for eign population, but this one the au thorities took hold of with more than their customary zeal with the pur- lipe C. Rarick hours. His subjects be 4444 4AAii444444444A4iiA4A J -v V W TV1 pose in view of endeavoring to edu cate some of the brawlers into the fact that they are amenable to the laws of the city of Astoria and the State of Oregon. EXCURSION TO LELAURA, The Delaura Beach Company ol Portland has organized an excursion to be run from Portland to the beach on Sunday, and it is expected that many will avail themselves of the opportunity to see the beauties of Delaura Beach and at the same time enjoy the pleasures of an outing. The excursidn will be on the regular train, leaving Portland at 8 o'clock in the morning. Astoria people, also, will find this an excellent time to look over Delaura and see the im provements that have been going on there. , Mr. W. H. Moore, of the company, said yesterday that the plank road to the beach has just been completed so that automobiles may now make the . trip. This will be good news to many, for the trip to Delaura beach will. make an attractive one for the owners of machines.
