. would find the saloons as quiet as a
Sunday school room on a Monday
morning-. For It looks as if this is
to be a quiet Sunday in Astoria
with all the front and back doors of
the places of good cheer closed tight
The presence of the grand jury is the
. all-important fact, and the scary feel
nig that is abroad since the indict
ments and big fines in the circuit
court the past week.
If the saloons are closed today
that fact will postpone for a time
longer the dilemma which threatens
the police force, for like a bogey
man the Curtis resolution arises to
worry the minds of the hard working
police officers. That resolution calls
npon them to close up the saloons
on Sundays or else to lose their
salaries.
"As long as the laws are on the
statute books I will enforce them,'
said District Attorney Tongue in
court a few days ago; and his ac
tions are speaking fonder than his
words.
The grand jury has not yet got
around to the evidence that is said
to hare been collected against many
of the local saloonkeepers, and pTob
ably that will be the principal work
of tine week.
The Xyberg cases will arise Tues
day, probably, and if he is convicted
en any one of the eight indictments
still against him it will apparently
mean a jail sentence for him, as the
Taws in relation- to selling liquor in a
"dry" precinct provide that upon a
second' conviction a jail sentence
shall, be imposed. It is understood
that the district attorney will insis'
that Jfyberg either plead guilty or
stand trial on all of the indictments
still outstanding.
Check Artist At Work
Another check artist developed
yesterday. Two checks were cashed
by Charles Niemi, for a fellow who
said his name was Leo. H. Dean.
One of the checks was for $10 drawn
St favofof 'Leo. H- Dean and signed
by R. H. Jose on the First National
Bank and No. 321. The other one
was drawn in favor of the same party
on the Astoria National Bank for
$16 and was signed A. F. Jose and
bore the same number -321. On pre
sensation at the banks it was found
Ho such man as "Jose" had an ac
count there. The matter has been
turned over to the jolice but so far
the fellow has not been caught.

dentally no little amusement. Under
the ordinary procedure the day was
set apart for the consideration of bills
on the private calendar, but because
of the House having recessed each day
since Monday, under the rules, it
was still the legislative day of that
tlatc. Mr. Simms of Tennessee main
tained that it was Friday, while the
Speaker insisted amid laughter it
was Monday. -
"It is true said the Speaker, This
is Friday in the calendar made by
the sun, but by the journal of the
House it is Monday."

The Speaker suavely replied that
tomorrow would be not only the
calendar but the legislative day of
Saturday.
"And Friday would be gone?" in'
terjected Mr. Sims.
"It would," solemnly responded
the Speaker.
"Then I move we adjourn," said
Mr. Kimball of Kentucky.
Before the question could be put
Mr. Macon of Arkansas suggested
that the clock be turned back, saying
he had several times seen the House
do that.
A roar of laughter went up when
Speaker Cannon, speaking slowly,
said:
"The un was stopped at one time
by the Lord on Joshua's request,"
but he insisted, amid more laughter,
that he had never seen "the house
turn the clock back."
HIGH FINANCING-
UTICA, N. Y Feb. 20.-Prorm-nent
laymen in the northern New
York conference have started a
movement for an organization to be
called the Methodist Episcopal Foun
dation Fund Association- It is plan
ned to form a J2,000,000 corporation
to assist the Methodist Church fi
nancially throughout the United!
States. It is proposed to secure the
co-operation of 17 laymen and eight
ministers to carry on work and the
approval of the bishops will be songht
before definite arrangements- are
made. The funds accumulated will be
deposited in a trust ontpany to be
especially organized under the aus
pices of the chnrch.
Fat is Out of Style
To paraphrase Caesar's remark, the
directoire gown came was seen ancf
has conquered. So fat ladles are re
duced, so to speak, to the. necessity
of either reducing at a very rapid
rate or eliminating themselves from
public view until the fashion dies
out. Otherwise they risk being
ridiculous.
Since many fat ladies will not
eliminate themselves, however, but,
per contra, will insist on wearing the
curveless gown, no course is open to
this well-meaning scribe other than,
to tell them bow they may eliminate
the fat.
What is there, then, that reduces
fat safely? What pleasant inexpen
sive article is there on druggists'
shelves that can reduce a pound a
day without causing wrinkles or
stomach ache? What can the phar
mocist offer as an improvement over
scanty victuals or ten mile walks
without breakfast? Is there anything
pleasant to take and inexpensive to
buy that will reduce one uniformly,
quickly and innocently 30 pounds
a month? Here is the answer: Either
write the Marmola Company, Detroit
Mich-, or ask your local druggist for
Marmola Prescription Tablets, and
for 75 cents they or he will give you
one large case of these safe fat re
ducers, containing so generous a
quantity of tablets that sometimes
one case only is needed to produce
the desired results. Cn you match
that for a simple solution of your
oroblem?

SPECIAL DISPATCHES FROM
THIS COUNTRY TELL OF
THE FEELING.
TOKIO, Feb. 20,-The special
correspondence to the Asahi from its
San Francisco correspondent con
tinues to represent the situation as
most alarming. These specials claim
that the anti-Japanese seniment is
rapidly spreading and that the war
feeling in America is general.
The specials, widely circulated and
copied, contribute to sustain the feel
ing of uneasiness among the Japan
ese people. Nichi, Nichi a paper
owned by K. Kato, th Japanese am
bassador to England which commen

earlier stages .of the anti-Japanese

sentiment in Americat
published today says:

JUDGE CALLED DOWN.
Chicago Jurist iff Severely Rebuked
By His Colleagues.
CHICAGO, Feb; 20,-Judge Mc-
Kenzie Cleland's reign as the "Little
Father of the Parole System,'' as
practiced by him irr the municipal
coort. has reached arr inglorious end.
Judge Cleland has been criticized for
some time because he has been sus
pending sentences dufiag good be-
ftavior and his efforts t reform ac
cused persons brought before him in
the criminal branch. His fellow
judges have declared his method's il
legal. At a stormy meeting of the
purists he was transferred to the civ
il branch and the order" will take ef
feet Monday. At a lat sessiow of
his "reporting" court at" which his
charges were scheduled to appear,
his "paroles" were either discharged
or were sent to the Bridewell to
serve the original penalties imposed.
Twenty four judges were arrayed
against him in extraordinary ses.-ton.
Chief Justice Olson summed trp the
case against Judge Clelamf.
"The court's quarrel with yon."
said he, addressing Judge Clelamf, "is
not that you may have shown kind
ness to the prisoners brought before
you. for that is done every day by
every judge of this court The court's
quarrel with you is that yon have
usurped rights of citizenship that are
as old as the magna darter. You
hare overriden the rights of the poor
and the ignorant, who knew nothing
of a writ of habeas corpus or an ap
peal to the Supreme Court
Other judges challenged Cleland
to stand before the people and con
fess himself ignorant of the princi
ples of the law he had violated and
the Chief Justice declared that the
jurist under fire asknowledged the
danger from the opper courts when,
as he once did, he said, he would di
miss the case against a paroled pris
oner in order to keep an appeal of an
application for a writ of habeas cor
pus from being heard.
Judge CleVand told the assembled
judges that what he did in his court
was none of their business ,and that
as long as he continued as a judge he
would administer justice as he saw
fit.
