made to make everyone going on the
trip comfortable and to make the
outing as restful or as strenuous as
the participants may desire. Those

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

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

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.
