Mr. Schmidt' Attitude
Chris Schmidt, who made a won
derfully close race for the common
council against Mr. Kaboth in the
Second ward, is said to be reluctant
to make any formal contest of the
matter, though in the opinion of
many a recount might change the
result. A change in his favor of one
vote would give a tic, if taken from
Mr. Kaboth. No one presumes for a
moment that there was any trickery
in the count, but the count in this
precinct was so slow and laborious,
lasting until 1:10 o'clock in the
morning, that in such a close vote an
error of one or two might very
readily have crept in. In addition it
was suggested hefore th county had
closed that it looked to one or mpre
hvstamlcrs who were watching that
error had crept in. It is understood
Hi Mr. Schmidt will attend the
canvass of the votes in the city au
.litnr'. office this moaning, and t
the vote checks up all right that he
will not be disposed to demand a
recount. It is known, however, that
one or more members of the city
committee, a body that would na
turally" have the right to act, are in
favor of a recount. The Astorian
would like to state that despite its
blunders in this respect it knows Mr.
Schmidt's name is not Schmita. .
Madeline Longtaine, the young
Cathlamct girl who hai been ill at
St. Mjiry'i hospital, died there at
10:30 o'clock last night, and her
death marki a closing chapter in a
shocking epiiode.
.' She was only about 17 yean of
age, a pretty child, and engaged toif
be married when the sad circum- J
stance arose that finajly wrought !
her death. - I
Dr. Peacock, f Cathlamet, has '
been under arrest for the past week!
or more in connection with the mat-1
ter. Her death ii laid to have re-;T
.llHf1 (mm a criminal nflnlmfl r.Ar. 1
formed about two weeks ago, and the
Cathlamet physician wai arrested in
connection with this matter. It is
understood that he denies his guilt.
The whole case hai been enwrapped
in 10 much feeling, in contradictory
statements, in personal bias, and
even with political and personal ani
mosities and hatred, that it may be
difficult to ever ascertain the exact
truth of the matter now that the girl
is dead. There i no lack of those
who bold'aver that Dr. Peacock is
the victim of , circunrtances. -The
physician is now out of bail in the
sum of $1000. Perhaps this will beix
increased since her death ha's oc-
curred. i
Her mother was with the dying)
girl last night when the end came. :
It is known that the dying girl bad
made statements involving the phy i
sician, and yesterday Attorney Olson
of Cathlamet, the prosecuting attor
ney-elect, endeavored to securt
final statement in legal form. It is
not known- here whether he succeed
ed or not.

To the Editor I wish to person

AMUSEMENTS
, "LITTLE JOHNNY JONES."
Almost- directly from a tour that
has included the Facifc Coast, there
will come to the Astoria Theatre
next Sunday night Geo. M. Cohan's
tremendously successful musical
comedy, "Little Johnny Jones." This
simple announcement will probably
be sufficient to send hundreds of
theatre-goers to the Astoria theatre
for of a surety no musical play pre
sented in this city in the past decade
has made a better impression than
Little Johnny Jones" which play
goer will ever remember him for,
not so much because of its big suc
cess, but because this musical play
contains so many elements that tend
to attract amusement seekers.
Apart from a coherent story and
well sustained plot, with two very
pretty rove stories ninning through
out Its three acts, "Johnny Jones"
contains enough song numbers to
stock half a dozen plays of its kind,
and they are all of that peculiarly
fascinating kind that only Geo. M.
Cohan knows how to write. In
Little Johnny Jones there are no
less than 20 songs of this character.
The company which will interpret
"Little Johnny Jones" here is practi
cally the same as have presented it
since its initiative. A large and well
drilled chorus, who are not only
fascinating toMhe eye but who can
sing, and some very elaborate scenic
and costume embellishments is the
promise held out by the management
for the presentation of Mr. Cohan's
celebrated musical play. , ; ,
to have clothed it in remarkably
language. In point of construction,
also,' Mr, Obermer is said to have
demonstrated the value of numerous
revolutionary ideas of his own.
Miss Roberts in 'The House of
Bondage," has a role in which she
is seen at her best, and the Roberts
best is a dramatic value to conjure
with. John Cort has given the star a
strong support, among the players
appearing the well known names of
Arthur Forrest, Thurlow Bergen,
Kent Bosworth, Harry Gibbs, Ann
Warrington and Mary Bertrand.
HER BOY KILLED.
MRS. F. WOOLLEY
PROPRIETRESS
FLORENCE ROBERTS COMING.
When it is said that Florence Rob
erts, who has played a remarkably
varied line of parts with always su
perior artistry, has won the surpass
ing success of her career in her new
play "The House of Bondage," there
remains no room for pessimism re
garding the result of her forthcoming
engagement at the Astoria Theatre
on January 6th, next. It is common
talk in theatrical circles that Miss
Roberts has in "The House of Bond
age" the dramatic "find" of the sea
son. The work is by Seymour Ober
mer, a brilliant English dramatist,
who is said not only to have evolved
a strikingly original ineme, dui aiso
NEW YORK, Dec, lO.-Although
she stood for some time in a crowd
watching the police remove a body
from under a car, Mrs. Lawrence
Schiller of Brooklyn was not aware
that the victim was her son until a
child thrust a schoolbook into her
hands.
The fcook had been picked up near
the car and it bore the name of
Lawrence Schiller. Realizing her loss
the mother fainted and had to be as
sisted to her home. The child killed
was eight years old and was return
ing from school. -
SURRENDER TO POLICE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10-Conscienee
stricken because the police were
seeking an innocent man, Robert
Ackerman surrendered himself to
the Brooklyn police last night, say
ing tt-at it was he who had shot a
man in this city on November 14
last., Ackerman fled to San Fran
cisco after the shooting, but learn
ing that a former policeman was sus
pected of the crime returned to face
the charge. He was greatly relieved
when told that the victim o f the
shooting, Frank Weber, will prob
ably recover. Ackerman was lockeS
up pending an investigation. He waa
restored to citizenship in 1906, after
deserting' from the United State
army.
