light by the many people who so far
have seen it. The story is an old
famiilar one and needs no reviewing

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night the seven
gentlemen who will comprise the
Port of Astoria Commission in the
event that protect is carried by the
people in the December election were
selected by ballot. The names of the
seven elected appear above. The
balloting was spirited, and the names
of many oth,er well known citizens
were also placed in nomination. Mr.
Gordon, whose name appears in the,
list, had run a tie with Gust Holmes,
each having received 18 votes, but
when the tie was voted on again. Mr.
Gordon carried it by a majority of
several votes.
Mr. Wingate, who has been one of
the warmest workers for the Port of
Astoria bill from the beginning, made
a motion before the balloting com
menced last night that the number of
the commission be changed from five
to seven, and this carried without
objection.
In a general way Mr. Wingate has
taken charge of the matter in the
several discussions that have arisen
over it in the Chamber of Commerce
meetings, and last night he placed in
nomination a "slate" of seven names
for the commission. It was under
stood that these seven men all favor
ed the project and were looked upon
as men who would enter heartily into
the plan in all its phases. This
"slate" carried, with but one excep
tion. The name of Mr. Holmes was
one of the seven and he was finally
defeated by Mr. Gordon, though it is
understood that those who have
.worked for and made the bill what
it now is have no objections at all
to Mr. Gordon.
The commission will hold office in
definitely, providing that the people
make the bill a lw. They arc to
hold office until their successors "are
elected and appointed," though by
the iniative an election might be
called at any time and new commis
sioners voted for.
There was nothing else of great
importance before the session last
night. F. L. Evans, promotor of the
proposed electric line to Seaside, ap
peared before the Chamber and ask
ed that a committee be appointed to
secure the rights of way between this
city and Seaside. The Chamber of
Commerce had heretofore practically
volunteered to do this part of the
work, but by inadvertance the actual
work of securing the formal rights of
way has been suffered to stand in
abeyance, and the time has now come
when something must be accomplish
ed at once. The chair was empower
ed to appoint such a committee, and
he will do so within the next day or
two. A committee will also be ap
pointed to arrange for securing funds
with the purpose in view of continu
ing the line to Cannon Beach.
The representative of the company
that may underwrite the bonds for
the electric line is expected in the
city today, and he will be properly
met and entertained by the president
and secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.
E. M. Cherry, acting British vice
consul, was elcted a member of the
Chamber, as also was F. J. Finch.
Just before adjournment, Mr. Fin
layson called attention to the report
ed case of cholera in San Francisco,
and suggested that this might be a
good time for the Chamber to again
call attention to the federal govern
ment of the need of more adequate
sanitary and quarantine arrangements
here. The secretary will act upon
this suggestion.
musical farce entitled "A. Lonesome
Town." And it was one uproarious
laugh from the start to the finish;
there was nothing else to do but
laugh.
The players found themselves up
for all the fun they could make, and
it was no task at all for all concern
ed to reap the acme of pleasure, un
der such conditions. Kolb , and Dill
are naturally, and technically, fun
makers, and it comes so easy that
nobody noted any especial effort on
their part; the people on the house
side of the footlights were the one?
POLICE BREAK UP A
SUNDAY CARD GAME
JOHN STEPHENSEN AND FIVE
PLAYERS TAKEN GOES TO
THE GRAND JURY.
At J o clock on bumlny morning
Police Officers Llnville and Houghton
arrested John Stephcnsen, proprietor
of a iloon nt Seventh and Astor
streets, on the charge of conducting a
gambling game, and live of the al
leged players were also arrested at
the same time. All were taken to the
police station, and later were released
on bail of $25 each. The bail money
was furnished by Stephcnsen for all
of the five men and himself.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the cases against Stephcnsen and the
five men were called in police court,
but Captain Abercrombie, the city at
torney, announced to the court that
he had not prepared complaints and
asked for a dismissal of the charges.
on the ground that the matter is one
which the grand jury should properly
pass upon, especially as it is now in
session. Judge Anuerson tncreiore
dismissed the cases.
The five men arrested are apparent
ly fishermen. They are Charlei Pre-
tela, Hans Hantulla, Henry Ottila.
Henry Gamasa, Alex Tctterson.
Accompanied by Acting Chief of
Police Obcrg, the proprietor of the
saloon, Stephcnsen, later, went to the
office of the prosecuting attorney, Mr.
Tongue, and announced his willing
ness to appear before the grand jury,
and it is presumed that that investi
gating body .will look into the matter
thoroughly.
Stephcnsen, the proprietor, stated
to a reporter of the Morning Astoria
last evening that the men were not
gambling; he said that they were
playing cards for cigars and for "soft
drinks." He asserted emphatically
that there was no real gambling go
ing on. The table at which the game
was being played is in sight from the
street and that not the slightest effort
was made to conceal the fact that
the men were playing. Mr. Stephen
sen also avers that his saloon was
not open for the sale of drinks, and
while this game was being played in
the saloon building, that the bar was
tightly closed. At the police station
very little money was found on the
five men, The total amount would
hadly buy a new hat.
"It was gambling and nothing but
gambling," said Patrolman Linvillc,
last evening, "The matter should have
been tried in police court. This game
started at 7 o'clock in the evening
and up until midnight a big crowd of
men stood around the table and
watched the game. Chips were used;
each chip representing so much
money. The proprietor says that the
men played for drinks, but if they
had played for drinks from 7 o'clock
in the evening until 2 o'clock the next
morning one would naturally think
that each man would have been
pretty drunk by that time. They were
sober when arrested."
C. J. Curtis, the attorney, appeared
for the defendants, and he stated that
he felt satisfied that his clients would
have little difficulty in disproving the
charge of gambling.
If evidence can be gained to sub
stantiate the charge of gambling it is
known that the prosecuting attorney's
office will take up the matter vigorr
ously.
who worked; the ached, and ached
again, but the pace was hot and only
one curtain to intervene for relief;
but they stood it nobly ana were
sorry to go home.
The play is a mere skit; something
to hang the endless wit on and ac
centuate it; to give zest and point
and color to the beautiful melodies of
the night; a vehicle for conveying the
best lot of clean fun that Astoria has
witnessed for many a day. It was
refreshing, and that means much i
this day of varied entertainment.
The great German comedians were
ably supported by a galaxy of bright
people, including Maude Lambert
and Billy Clifford, Edith Whitely and
Leola Maye, with a clever chorous
of handsome girls to liven things
with a brilliant lot of dancing and
some of the very best of the topical
songs and music of the hour. Taken
from end to end, it was one of the
heartiest and most enjoyable presen
tations made here in a long while,
and the promise secured by Manager
Hanlin, that they will play a return
engagement here in the nearest pos
sible future, is welcomed by every
body ; only the sooner the better.
