They arcr certain to be notably missed at the south shore post where they have been been for so long. Hurt By Engine Patrick Dooley, on employe of a logging camp near Seaside, is at St. Mary's Hospital with a badly bruised and twisted knee, While at work he was caught between the camp engine and its tender, While his knee was not broken, it was severely bruised, and since the accident Dooley has not been able to straighten out the in jured leg. He is being cared for by Dr. Pilkington, of the National Hos pital Association, and it is thought he will be all right in a short tisnc. Destined for Coos The fine new harbor dredger Ore gon, built at Portland for use in the Coos Bay region, arrived down the river at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the hawsers of the George H. Mendcll and docked at the Clatsop mill pier. She was met here by the tug Astoria, on her way back from Gray's .Harbor, whither she had towed the schooner Oliver J. Olsen, and the ungainly tow, well boarded up against the play of the sea, will depart out this morning on the early flood for her new port and work. The Hearing Postponed The hearing of Victor Dillus, who is charged with having taken $26 from an acquaintance, was to have been held in justice court yesterday, as that day had been set by request of one of the attorneys and with the consent of the other. But when the hour for the hearing came neither lawyer was on hand and neither had sent any word about the matter. Investigation dis closed the fact that both were out of town, and the justice, after deliberat ing the matter in silence for a while, We are now also stvvbg Coffee and Chocolate.

' ' With Whittle Booming The steamship Breakwater, Captain Mac gen n, is one of the finest coast steam fleet entering this port or leav ing, and everybody knows her and her Jovial master well; but that doe not alter the fact that a long string of re mnant blasts on her booming whistle at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, when (he whole city is getting its "beauty ileep," fotiMitutc a howling nuisance, and many there be who wish the good-natured .captain would incline his thought and order to a less up roarious prelude for departure than tin) gave here in the wee sma' hours of Thursday morning. . Fishing Arrest Continue One of the water bailiffs engaged in making the wholesale arrests of Uhcrmcn for violation of the Oregon laws said lust evening that the efforts to apprehend all violators of the laws will continue just as long as the law breaking goes on. Comparatively few arrests have been made on the war rants issued, but the men will be ap prehended sooner or later. Consid erable comment is caused by the fact that the Washington fishermen are apparently making no organized at tempt to uphold their side of the con tention, for apparently beyond numer ous threats of personal violence to the bailiffs nothing is being done by them to conserve what they allege to be their rights. Jap Confesses Detectives Zcigicr and White, of the Los Angeles police department, srrived in Astoria yesterday with requisition papers for the return of the Japanese, Ito, to that city on a charge of murder. The prisoner was arrested here last week by Patrolman Wilson on the arrival of the ship Berlin from Alasaka, .the Los An geles department evidently having teamed that the man they wanted was on that vessel. It is said that Ito has confessed to the detectives that he killed K. Okazaki in Los Angeles, and it is also said that be has men tioned other crimes in which he took a part. The prisoner is in the city jail.-. Spencer Pulled Off Formal announcement was made at the office of the Callender Naviga tion Co. in this city yesterday that the steamer Charles R. Spencer, which has been on the Astoria-Portland run ince the 11th day of last May, bas ceased operations on this route. The decision was wired down yesterday morning, as a result of an accident which overtook the popular flyer an her way up the rivers on Wednes day last, when she blew out her port cylinder head a few miles below the metropolis. Captain Spencer and. his craft have made many friends in this !ort since he began the service 130 Jays ago, and they will always find a nook in the Astoria docks waiting for them in the future. It will take six. weeks or two months to make the necessary repairs on the Spencer? Musical Treat In Store- Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wicks, of this city, are entertaining Miss Sigfrid Westcrling, a noted and brilliant Fin nish artist, whose fiiuo voice is to be heard here in two concerts, the first tomorrow evening and the secpnd on Sunday afternoon, at the National As sociation Hall. The affair tomorrow evening is to be rendered in Swedish, N'orwegian, Finnish and English, while the Sunday concert will be en tirely and purely in Finnish. Miss Westcrlind is deemed to be one of the most accomplished singers of her school and country, with a voice of rare sweetness and culture, and her entertainments are certain to be of the highest order and merit. She will be, assisted by Mrs. Charles H. Aber crombie and Miss Esther Sundquist, both of whom are strong favorites in the local muhical world of As toria. . ... . Who Is to Blame?

LIST OF TEACHERS IS f!0W ALL COMPLETE THIRTY-SIX IN THE EDUCA TIONAL FORCE OF ASTOR IA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mr. Clark, the city superintendent of schools, has finally secured a com plete list of the teacher reqircd for the five school trildings, and all in all he belicvej it to be a' fairly strong teaching force. With the payment of more money it would be possible to secure, perhaps, a somewhat higher grade of teachers, just as it would be possible to secure more capable spe cialists tn any line by the same means; but an inspection of the list will show that, the Astoria schools are in good hands. Some of the teachers are looked upon as being especially good, a few are as yet nknown quantities inasmuch as they are new in Astoria, while upon the whole the list is be lieved to be fairly well balanced and fairly strong. There are five school buildings and six separate schools, including the high school. To teach the various classes there are 36 teachers, most of whom are women and girls. The entire list, now published for the first time, is as follows: Alderbrook School C. F. Willcutt, principal; Anne Lewis, Maret Setten, Maude Dobbs. Adair School E. P. Bradley, principal; Mrs. A E. Huden, Gussie Holmes, Rose A Matson, Emma Knutsen, Gertrude M. Havard, Lillie Lewis, Nellie H. Ccr ding. Shiveley Scliool Mrs. M. G. Barry, principal; Lucy B. Morton, Mary Garner, Mary Deal cy, Kathryn Shiveley, Helen W. Dick inson. McClure School m Amy G. Holmes, May M. Utzinger, Annie M. Powell, Mrs. Viola E. Hall, Esther Anderson, Mrs. A. L. Fulton. High School .,, J. G. Imcl, principal; Fred E, Schmidtke, Dora Badollet, J. Ger trude Hulse. Taylor School Alice M. Goddard, Inez B. Hunta mer, Helma Rukari, Laura M. Fasta- bend, Hildur Fridborg, .Emily C. Brown, Bertha Reese, Clara C Bar ker, principal. ' : ' J. G. Imel, the new principal of the high school, has been in the city for a week or more and has made a good impression upon those with whom he has come in contact. Two of the well known teachers are no longer with the Astoria schools, having resigned during the summer, and their loss is sure to be felt. Everything is now in' readiness for the opening of the schools next Monday, September 21. The pupils will find the buildings in cleanly condition, and all of the scats have been thoroughly cleaned. tee for its alleged neglect of the body of the young man, Frank Sullivan, who was drowned in this harbor on the opening morning pf the recent regatta while making a high dive from the main-top-sail yards of the flag ship Donna Francesca, and whose re mains were later washed ashore at Ocean Park, with the badge of the Astoria regatta pinned to his breast. The body lay upon the open sands for two days without other attention than the poor tribute of a gunny sack cast over it by someone who desired to lessen the hideousness of the object, and it was finally interred at. the instance of Captain Stuart, of the Cape Disappointment life-saving station. VIGILANTES ORGANIZED. Chicago Suburb Society Incensed Ov er "Mashers" and Peeping Toms CHICAGO, Sept. 17. Citizens of South Oak Park yesterday organized a vigilance committee to put an end to the terrorizing of women and chil dren by "mashers" and "peeping Toms," Nine prominent business men of the suburb,' incensed by the insults members of the families have been forced to endure, volunteered to do polic duty arid walk beats until the prowlers are driven from the commu nity. . . They applied for stars and author ity to make arrests. These were se cured from J. E. Tristam, clerk of the village, and member's of the vigilance committee went on duty for the first time last night.. - The men areprovided with revol vers and flashlights and are instructed to "shoot if necessary."

MAN WISE it it I Astoria's Reliable FEARED IN FI81C CLASH ON THE WASHINGTON SHORE MEN ARE SAID TO BE GET TING IN UGLY MOOD Unless some definite actir is taken in the fishing contention soon it is said that trouble may be looked for. Already many of the Washington fishermen are in ugly mood, and the whole matter has been greatly aggra vated during the past two or three days by the inflammatory utterances of some of the prominent men on that side of the river. To many in Wash ington It seems nothing but prepos terous that Oregon voters in a jum ble of laws that in themselves may or may not mean anything can have the right to say what residents of an other State may do. The whole ques tion of State rights is involved, they aver, and the talk of "concurrent juris diction," they say, is merely a glib phrase that means nothing. Some of the fishermen have openly threatened violence. Meantime the State authorities of Washington have done nothing to pour oil on the trou bled waters, and the activities of the Oregon water bailiffs only accentu ates the ugly attitude of the men on the north shore. That the matter can continue as it is now progressing without some flare-up seems doubtful.

PRISONERS PLAN ESCAPE. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17. An ap parently carefully laid plot to secure the escape of Magon, Villareal and Rivera, the Mexican, revolutionists, became known to the officers at the county jail several days ago. The jail delivery was to have occurred yester day, Mexican independence day, but the conspirators evidently became alarmed and no attempt was made. For months the federal authorities have been watching the develop ment of a plot to secure the liberty of the imprisoned Mexicans. By chance it was learned that an attempt would be made to aid the revolutionists to escape before they were taken to Ari zona for trial. On account of the ap peal to the United States Supreme Court their remioval has been delayed and for many weeks the prisoners have been held practically incommu nicado. ' It is believed the officet s are in pos session of evidence of a well organi zed conspiracy in this city to get the junta leaders Out of jail and hurry them aboard a vessel lying off San Pedro. It is asserted that the au thorities havek possession of a letter smuggled out of jail in which explicit directions were given for getting the three men out of the building.
