School Cantata
Between 200 and 300 school chil

"Months and Season," and it has
been arranged to give it In the Na
tional hall next Saturday night.' The
proceeds will go to the benefit of the
grammar school, "probably in the
purchase of picture or other things
for the school room. The entertain
ment U certain to be very pretty and
the parent a well a children are
showing keen interest in the matter.
It was planned to have at let 300
children In the cantata, but the Na
tional hall stage will probably not
hold more, than 200, so probably
about 100 of the little ones will be
disappointed'in not being able to
participate. Efforts were made to
secure the Astoria theatre, but the
manager refused to rent it to local
talent , ;

PREPARE WARRANT FOR
. THUANOY CASE
MATTER IS TURNED OVER TO
ASSISTANT DISTRICT AT
TORNEY FOR ACTION
Mr. Clark, superintendent of the
city schools, and Acting Chief of
Police Oberg yesterday held a con
ference with Mr. lirowiiell, the dis
trict attorney, in n Union to the
question of ranking the arrest of the
fathers of children who remain out
of school without proper reason for
the absence. ' Mr. Brownell pointed out
the law covering the matter and it
was agreed that a warrant should be
Issued for the arr'ct of one or more
fathers of truant children. It is ap-
pnrently planned to make this cam
paign against truancy a vigorous one.
A warrant for the arrest of at leant
one man will be Hsued today if cv
erythlng is found in readiness. The
law require that written notice shall
have been served upon the parent in
question, and if it be ascertained that
this has not been done of course the
question of arrest will be deferred
until this necessary preliminary has
been carried out. ( ! f '
Police Office Wilson has been spec
ially detailed to look into the 300
truancy cases reported by the board
of education, and the officer is evi
dently finding it a hard job. Yet it is
evident that of the 300 cases reported
many are wrongfully designated. Out
of these 75 are in attendance at the
Academy of the Holy Names; others
are out of the city, and others are
out of school for one or another vand
reason. Yet after all proper dedue
tions have been made there still re
main quite a few of the delinquents,
and perhaps the school census, which
Is to be taken the latter part of this
month, will show a new lot of names.
One man in particular defies the
law. Hi boy is under the age of 14,
and ha no valid reason for the de
linqueney, and yet the father Simply
asMimes the attitude that the authori
ties can go hang for all he cares.
The law provide that such par
ents, or other proper guardians, op
en conviction Shall be fined from $5
to $25, or way be incarcerated either
in the county or city jail for a period
of from two to ten days.or both.
If a child is sick, or lives too far
from the nearest school, or attends
sme private school, or is ta'ight priv
ately by a tutor, the delinquency is
excused. All children between the
ages of 9 and 14 years must attend
school, unless kept out for one of
the reasons stated by the statute.
The Philharmonic Concert
Dr. Emil Enna, director of the
Astoria Philharmonic Society, met
last, evening at Logan's hall, with 62
of the members of that splendid or
ganization, for the last grand rehear
sal urior to the srs-at concert to be
given in the auditorium of the Ath
letic Club building, on Tuesday night
next, when scenes from Dr. Enna's
beautiful opera "The Mountain
Kin it" w ill be rendered for the first
time in nublic. This will be the
second appearance of the Philhar
monics in this city and they have
striven nobly to make the present
ment of next . Tuesday as nearly
perfect as their combined and con
ceded talent can achieve. Trained
and drilled and coached to the last
degree of faultless equipment for the
big task, there can be no possible
doubt of the ' pronounced success
awaiting it next week; and incident
ally, everv Astorian. with a grain of
pride and culture in this splendid
new society, should be in attendance
nn the imoortant nifrht in question,
to give these clever home-people the
assurance they deserve of popular
commendation and endorsement.

Ill PULL SIHAl'S TO
ECiDE T.IATTER
IN THREE PRECINCTS THERE
IS A TIE OF THE DEMO
CRAT COMMITTEEMEN
In the intercut .that was felt for the
Other offices, very little attention ha
been paid to the precinct committee
men who were nominated by the Re
publican and Dmocrat parties at the
primary on Monday. Each party i
expected to name a committeeman
from each of the seven precinct in
the city. The Republicans named the
seven. The Democrats named only
five, as in two of their precincts, six
and seven, there were no votes cast
at all for the committeemen.
An odd thing arises in connection
with the Democrat vote for the com
mitteemen, too, for in four out of the
five precincts that voted for this
office there is a tie.
This tie will have to be settled by
drawing lots, according to law, and
Judge Anderson will send out notice
toeach of the men who participate in
the tie vote to come to his office at
some utipulated time and pull straws.
Another odd thing is that in every
case where there is, a tie, each man
voted for received only one vote. In
Precinct No. 1 on the Democrat
ticket A. Wuopio received 3 votes
which gives him the nomination, as
no other candidate received more
than one vote. Still another odd
thing Mr, Wuopio was also nomi
nated as precinct committeeman by
the Republicans. Naturally he can't
hold both and most resign from at
least one. The Democrat vote for
Democrat precinct committeemen is
given herewith in full, and the result
shows the ridiculously small vote:

REPUBLICANS
The Republicans did a little bit
better. They at least managed to
elect their committeemen by votes
that aggregated above one or two.
The entire Republican list - and the
vote accorded each candidate is as
follows:
No. 1 A. Wuopio 7 votes
No. 2 Asmus Brix ..9 votes

More Talk of Litigation
One of the property owners affect
ed by the Irving avenue slide said
yesterday with much emphasis that
there is certain to be litigation grow
ing out of the matter yet. Accord
ing to his statements the question is
now belnir looked wito. The stand
is taken that inasmuch as the Council
had repeated warnings of the danger
likely to 8rise from the improvement
that the city is liable. The usual rul;
seems to be that a city is not liable
for any "consequent" damages aris
ing from street improvements, pro
viding the proceedings have been
regular and in due form. But in this
case the contention apparently is o
be made if litigation is brought
that the damages are not "conse
quent," but are direct and inevitable,
and of such a preponderate quality
that they completely overshadow the
benefits to the affected property own
ers, and that all this was well known
to the citv authorities before the pro
ceedings were ordered. There is also
talk from the same source that the
individual nrembers ofs the Council
may be made defendants, despite the
fact that the 1906 charter amend
ments contain a clause clearing them
of individual liability when the pro
ceedings are "regular." Again the
regularity of the proceedings are to
be called into consideration, appar
ently. On the other hand it is well
known that; some of the property
owners are not thinking of law suits
but are extremely grateful for the
aid the city is now giving. ;!

about 50 per cent are partly self

there are now 107 students.
Need a Theatre
The need of some public hall or
theatre that may be rented by local
organizations has been demonstrated
several times recently. The Philhar
monic society is said , to have; been
unable to secure it for the cantata
next Saturday night, and other so
cieties have feft the same need of a
good, centrally located place to give
entertainments, Logan hall and the
new Athletic ball, are good in the"r
way, of course, but are not fitted out
as desired for such entertainments. .-.
