what he would term hi "American
name," the fisherman who was ar
rested Wednesday evening on a
charge of using his net during the
closed season, pleaded guilty in jus
tice court yesterday and was fined
$50. The fine wa paid. This sum of
money was evidently a considerable
sum for Green, who is a poor man;

deliberately strove to break the law
and knew of the penalty that would
be imposed if he were captured.

Both Passed Exams
First Lieutenant Carl Knobloch and
Second Lieutenant Sutton were ex
amined last night for their officer's
commissions by Majoj Dunbar of
Portland, of the Third Regiment,
who came down to Astoria for that
purpose, ft is understood that both
men passed in a flattering manner;
and they both received the intima
tion that they had better order their
ofticer's uniforms at once. Both Mr.
Knobloch and M. Sutton are to be
congratulated in passing the exami
nation, which was a very stiff one,
and both men felt that they were not
as well prepared as they should have
been inasmuch as they had not been
given the proper books from which
to make their studies. Yet despite
this they passed brilliant examina
tions, .
Has Resigned
Assistant Secretary James T. Wal
lace, of the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce, yesterday filed his resig
nation as such officer, at the meeting
of the promotion committee of the
Chamber, to take effect on the first
of, October next; and the same was
regretfully accepted by the members.
Mr. Walace is too well known to the
Astoria public to need any special
comment at the hands of the Astor
ian, however kindly it might be, for
he has been almost constantly in
touch with it for the past ten years,
in his A. & C. Railway connections
and with the Chamber; and the sole
fact that he has made friends always
and never lost them, is of itself suf
ficient comment, and will be general
ly understood and endorsed. It has
not developed as yet just what new
business engagements Mr. Wallace
has entered into. :

by Oregon regulating the fishing on
the Columbia has been duly posted
along with ample warnings from the
office of Master Fish Warden If, C.

law as it shall be expounded in the
court, before any strict observance
is awarded it. The situation is bound
to be full of interest to thousands in
this section of both states and the
issue will be awaited eagerly.
The Thief Captured
A man who gives his name as C. H.
Spaulding wa arrested by Patrolman
Dubold on the charge of being the
man who entered the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Beck, at Sixth and
Lexington, and stole a diamond ring
and various other articles of jewelry,
and a small sum of money! Spauld
ing, who says he has been a soldier
in the regular army, was found in the
Chinook bar on Bond street and when
searched most of the stolen articles
were found in his possession. A war
rant was then sworn out against him
and he was turned over to the coun
ty authorities. His hearing will come
up today before Justice Goodman.
Sapulding is said to have admitted
that he took the articles; saying that
he was passing the place and, seeing
the door and windows- .wide open,
simply walked in and searched thq
dresser in th front room. He is also
said to have offered the police officer
who arrested him $25 if he were let
go, and when turned over to Con
stable Jack' Sayer he raised this
"ante" to $1000, but he might have
as well have offered much more, as
he has no money, apparently. Refer
ring to his troubles Spaulding is said
to have remarked, "This is what a
fellow gets for gambling," meaning
that he had wasted his substance in
that manner and then had turned to
theft.
Hartman Gives Bond
Fred Hartman, the Svenson farmer
who was arrested on a charge of
having fired a shot at the young son
of John A. Ekstrom,. one his neigh
bors, appeared before Justice Good
man yesterday for his preliminary
hearing. He was represented by At
torney John H. Smith. Howard M.
Brownell, the assistant district attor
ney, was out of the city yesterday,
having been called away on urgen
business, and Justice Goodman, after
learning some of the facts in the
matter, settled the case by placing
Hartman under bonds to keep the
peace. It seems that Ekstrom has sold
his place and is soon to leave the lo
cality and hence the justice apparent
ly believed that the troubles between

ACTING POLICE CHIEF
IS APPOINTED
PATROLMAN OBERG TAKES
OFFICE UNTIL COMMISSION
ERS ELECT A NEW HEAD.
At a meeting of the police commis
sioners last night it was decided not
to endeavor to elect a chief of the
the men would thus come to air end.
Hartman is said to have admitted
that he fired a shot from a rifle in
the direction of young Ekstrom, but
he declared that he fired, high over
his head and merely for the purpose
of frightening him. The boy is going
to remain in the neighborhood for a
short time and he was placed on
honor not to plague or other
interfere with Hartman in any way.
It looked like a quarrel between,
neighbors with the preponderance of
fault lying on one side or the other
according to the individual point of
view. . . .

police department for a short time,
probably not for a few weeks.
Patrolman Oberg was ' made the
acting chief, and until a chief is elect
ed by the commission he will have
full powers of the office.
It is understood that there was
only one formal application for the
office filed with the commissioners
last night. The reason for the de'ay
is not known, and may cause some
little surprise among the politicians,
who have been figuring that the
whole matter has been' all "cut and
dried" and who therefor, expected no
delay in the appointment
Chief Gammal is now out o the
position, leaving the force in charge
of Acting Oberg. Many will be
pleased to learn that Mr. Oberg is
given the place at least temporarily
and perhaps he may prove a strong
candidate for the permanent iob.
