1 Captain Percy Wiyis, U. S. A., with
Mrs. Willis and their household im
pediments, have been moved from
Fort Stevens across the river to the
new assignment given this capable
officer at Fort Columbia, where he
now commands, and where his friend
hope he may find things wholly to
his liking. 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

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

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

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. . ... .

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

' 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."

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.
