Two Men Arrested
At the instance of S. M. Gallegher,
of the Imperial restaurant, E. E.
Thornton and J. H, Rockefeller were
arrested yesterday under the provis
ion of the innkeeper act which per
miti a hotel or restaurant keeper to
cause -the arrest of those who secure
board or lodging without paying
therefor, The men owed only 80
cents. They denied any inteivt to de
fraud, but said they, didn't like the
way the demand had been made upon
them for payment, Justice Coodman
suggested to the men that they pay
the 80 cents, which wa done and the
case wa dismissed.
Some Beautiful Flowers
In the garden of Captain E. P.
Parker at 341 Seventh street is a
cluster of beautiful Golden Band
lilies that are attracting much atten
tion. While Mrs. Parker is rather a
tall woman, her lilies are fully three
feet taller than she is, as they stand
about eight and a half feet. There
are six stalks, with from 12 to 27
lilies on each stalk. Mr. Dow, in
charge of the Clatsop exhibit at the
state fair at Salem, felt positive these
lilies would attract much attention
there and would win a prize, but as
they have been in bloom already
about two weeks it was not thought
possible to take them to the state
fair. Mr, Wood field took a snap
shot of the beautiful lilies yesterday.
Spaulding Confesses
i C. M. Spaulding, the man who was
arrested for having entered the Beck
home and stolen various rings and a
small sum of money, pleaded guilty
before Justice Goodman yesterday at
his preliminary hearing and wa bound
over to the grand jury in the sum of
$175 bail. Spaulding confessed the
whole matter. Not only did he tell
of this theft, but once his tongue got
started he told of other troubles he

lias been in, and bis story was .pa

' possession a diamond ring which lit
said he had taken from his sweet

turned from him and taken up with

in the Tort land county jail, and had
been under arrest al another time.
Saptilding was a soldier in the regu
lar army before his trouble com
menced. Refused Tlte Complaint
Request was made yesterday upon
Justice of the Pi-ace Coodman that
he issue a warrant for the arrest of a
lishernjan who was accused of a vio
lation of the new initiative and ref
erendum law that went into opera
tion at the close of September 10. The
justice refused the application for the
warrant. The offense was committed
on September 10, and Mr. Coodman
refused to sign the complaint on the
grounds that the law provides its pro
visions shall not go into effect until
"from and after the lOthrday of Sep
tember." Justice Goodman held that
the 10th day of September continued
until the last second of the last min
ute of that day, and that therefor
there could be no violation of the law
until the commencement of the 11th
day of September; that is, not until
fxne time after midnight of the 10th
day, Mr. Goodman's position seems
perfectly clear and sound, yet the
water bailiffs had apparently been in
structed by the state fish warden to
make arrests on the 10th day itself.1
Apparently a warrant could properly
have been sought and secured for
this offense under the provisions .of
the old law, which provided for a
closed season at the time the alleged
offense was committed, but the war
rant was sought under the new law
and was therefor refused.

APPLICANTS 1ST GET
BUSY AT ONCE
FOR CHIEF OF POLICE JOB A
FORMAL APPLICATION
MUST BE FILED WITH
THE AUDITOR.
Acting Chief of Police Oberg took
the oath of office yesterday and also
filed his requisite bond in the sum of
$2(XXJ, with P. A. Stokes and E. Z.
Ferguson as sureties.
While it is understood that there
are at least four or five candidates for
the position which Mr. Oberg is- now
temporarily filling, no one of them
has made application for the place in
the manner that the application must
be made if it is to be formally consid
ered by the police commissioners.
Blanks are prepared for all such ap
plications. The applicant must first state, all
the filling in being in his own hand
writing, and on oath, that he is able
to read and write the English lan
guage with "facility and ease," He
must be a citizen, and in good health
and of good moral character, and a
certificate of good health most also
be procured. Two citizens must state
,lieir belief in the applicant's good
moral character. This formal appli
cation must then be filed with the city
auditor, Mr. Anderson, who is clerk
of the commission.
! Clark Loughery, former chief of
police, presented an application to the
commission, but it was not formally
made out and apparently others
among the candidates did not even go
to the extent of making any kind of
an application, save that they or some
of their friends had informally made
known their desires to one or more
members of the police commission.
That Acting Chief Oberg will be a
candidate for the chieftaincy is deem
ed highly probable, and some of his
friends are already urging him as a
desirable candidate. There are at
least three of the patrolmen now on
the force who may be considered as
candidates, namely, Oberg, and Pa
trolman Houghton and Patrolman
Linville, who made a fine record as a
peace officer while, he was sheriff of
Clatsop county. All of these are
finely experienced and any one of
them would probably prove well
qualified for the place by reason of his
long experience. Of course Former
Chief Clark Lougjiery is" not lacking
in the required experience, and this
leaves only one avowed candidate,
Captain Tatton, who has not had any
experience worth mentioning as a
peace officer. Among the members of
the force there seems to be a feeling,
though not openly expressed, that no
matter who gets the appointment it
ought by right be a man who has won
his call to the place by reason of ex
perience on the Astoria force.
Rev. R. E. Myers, of Rainier, will
occupy the pulpit of the First M. E
church at the morning and evening
services tomorrow.

ASKING BEACH OB
TO PAY A LITTLE
IF THEY REFUSE NEW ELEC
TRIC LINE WILL BE ROUT
ED ELSEWHERE.
The executive committee of the
Oregon Coast Railway Company, the
subsidiary organization formed in
connection with the projected electric
line to Seaside and Tillamook, have
adopted the following resolution;
"That the executive committee, of
the Oregon Coast Railway Company,
be and impowered to extend the line,
and continue- the work of surveying
and securing the necessary rights of
way, for an electric line of railway,
from Seaside to Elk Creek and Can
non Beach, in the tame manner, and
with the same powers, under which
they are now completing this .work
from Astoria to Seaside. ,
"Provided, however, That before
such survey shall be undertaken by
said executive committee, the Elk
Creek and Cannon Beach, property
owners, and property owners along
this proposed right of way, must
come in for their share and subscribe
for the balance of the unsubscribed
stock of this corporation, amounting
to 160 shares, thus completing the full
subscription to the $10,000 capitaliza
tion." " ;
The resolution explains itself. The
executive committee is composed of
George H. George, H. G. Van Dusen
and E. Z. Ferguson. It is said that
while the property owners at Cannon
Beach and in the adjacent districts
thereto are very anxious to have the
line, yet apparently they are not as
anxious to give their share toward
helping out with the preliminary ex
penses. The resolution therefore
calls upon them to take up the rest of
the shares of stock, 160 shares,
amounting to $1600, and if the Can
non Beach and Elk Creek property
owners do not lend their aid in the
manner that is expected of them it is
said the line will be routed in a dif
ferent direction. Astoria men have
already raised $10,000 less this $1600
that is still required, and it is thought
only fair that this comparatively small
amount of $1600 should be raised by
the people along the beach.
If not, the line will go back of these
places on what is called the inside
route, which is said to be a prefer
able route anyway, when the line is
sent forward towards Tillamook.

REACH THE COLUilA
THEIR FIOHT
how tacoma" proposes to
swell her customs bus
iness over seattle
by clearing all
her ships from
knappton:
Deputy Collector A. T. Collier, o(
the Puget Sound customs district,
with headquarters at Tacoma, was in
the city yesterday, on an 'errand
which is a bit unique and impinges
upon the now famous rivalry being
fought out between his city and Se
attle, in a fashion at once amusing
and wholly illustrative. . ,
For a long time past ships and
steamers, foreign and coast bound,
loading lumber out from Knappton,
on the Washington shore, opposite
this city, have been cleared by the.
customs authorities at this port, all
fees accruing, of course, to this office
and district.
Now Knappton is in Washington,
and, according to Mr. Collier, in the;
Puget Sound customs district; and in
order to enhance the customs clear
ances of Tacoma, as against those of
Seattle, his superiors propose to com
pel all vessels loading out of Knapp
ton to do that phase of business
through the Tacoma office. There
are not more than 25 cargoes per an
num sent out from that busy little
place, but Mr. Collier intends to make
the last one of ther contribute to the
commercial showing of the "City of
Destiny"; and to this end he is here
to overhaul the British steamship
Boveric, which, in deference to Mr.
Collier's claim, was cleared from this
port for Knappton, whence she will
carry a huge lumber cargo to the
Antipodes, and being the first ship to
clear from Tacoma under' the new
rule. . -. -y:: ' ,-
Mr. Collier declares it is Tacoma's
right, and that she is going after it,
and the rule will be invoked at all
other Washington points on the Co
lumbia river, within th range of the
Puget Sound customs district. He is
a very pleasant gentleman, and a de
voted Tacoman, with a friendly word
for Seattle, but not much of anything
else if he can help it -
