Ordinance Not Yet Signed Mayor Smith hat not yet aigned the Curtia ordinance which providei for the cloning of lalooni on Sunday and for the forfeiture of license! upon a aecond conviction, and it la aaid to be perhapi doubtful that he will. If the Mayor vetor the ordinance It will probably be upon technical ground. The ordinance niakea the keeping open of a aaloon on Sunday , a "nuisance," and the question might arise if the city council can declare that to be a nuiaance which at com mon law or Inherently ia not a nuia ance; It providei for the closing of all "houe or placet" In which liquor la kept for alc, which might compel the closing down of hotela and room ing houses; and for such reason as this it i hinted the Mayor doe not look upon the measure with favor.

Cff AMBER OF COMMERCE TOMORROW NIGHT PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION WILL BE VOTED ON. f At the meeting of. the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night the ques tion of amending the constitution will arise for definite action. Members are urged to be 'present, It It proposed to so change the constitution that In the future all of the work of the or ganization will be done by a board consisting of nine members; thut doing away with the present meeting of members. The proposed amendment it herewith given In (nil: The officer of this Chamber shall consist of an executive committee of nine member who shall be. elected by this Chamber at a meeting to be held on Monday, March 22, 1909, at 7:30 p. m. and laid executive com mittee shall immediately after their election organize by electing a presi dent vice-president, tecretary and treasurer from among their member, excepting that the treasurer and sec retary may be elected outside of the executive committee if eonsiderd ad visable and said president vice-presi,-' dent, secretary and treasurer shall be the officers of said executive com mittee and of the Chamber of Com merce. , At the fmt meeting of the executive committee it shall be de termined which three of its members hull serve one year, which , three, two years and which three, three years. At the annual meeting to be held the fourth Monday in March, 1910, at 7:30 p. m. the Chamber shall elect three members of the executive committee for a term of three year aiid three member every year there after for a like term. The said com mittee shall elect said officers, presi dent, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, annually immediately after each annual election. The executive committee shall hold regular meet ings at such time as they shall deter mine and shall transact all of the business of the Chamber and said officers shall be the only officer of the Chamber. All parts of this con stitution in conflict herewith are here by repealed. All vacancies by death, resignation or removal shall be filled by the executive committee to hold until the next annual meeting of the member. The oflicc of any member of the executive committee wlu. fails to attend the meetings of this com mittee for three consecutive times, shall be declared vacant. The presi dent shall appoint the regular com mittees provided for by the constitu tion who shall report to the executive committee. All officers shall serve until their successor have qualified. To amend Article 1 of Section 1 of the By-laws of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, which now reads: "Regular meetings shall be held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month," o that it will read as follows: "Regular meetings shall be held an nually on the fourth Monday of March." In Detroit, Mich. Giles B. Johnson, the Astoria gen eral agent for the A. & C. lines, now F.ast on a vacation, writes the Astor ian from Detroit, under date of the 15th; but the brevity of the communi cation leave much to the imagination to complete. For-instance, he says that for one day he was "over the line in Canada," but does not say whether his short stay there was due to the activity and persistance of the Cana dian police, or what. Again, he says, "I would like to own this town," evidently referring to Detroit; which leaves the natural inference that he was warming up to that condition in which men sometimes think they really do own the town; and then his writing is of a sort to create suspic ions and lend color to the worst pos sible construction on the matters al luded to. Thus do wandering citizens fail to properly account for their whereabouts and actions when 'they are a long way from home. The Astorian hopes all h well with Mr. Johnson, but , . Foreman Disappears. Hong Yick & Company, the Chinese contracting firm, of this city, makes it known that one U. Hirrayama, a Japanese, heretofore contracted to serve as foreman of the Japanese employes of the Columbia River Packers' Association at Nushagak, this season, has decamped from this city, nad his whereabouts are un known. They aver that he left on or about February 14th last, and took with him the sum of $850, advanced to him by the contracting firm on the 6th of January; and that unless he returns before Monday next, they will proceed to secure another fore man in his place and stead. Hong Yick Company is located at 340 Bond street, in this city. n Subscribe to The Morning Asterian. delivered by carrier. HHttHWHWtWWmttWHI The BEST Clothes ; In America That's whatI went East for.

A youthful beggar struck town about noon yesterday and at once started out to put in a half day' work. He pretended to be deaf and dumb, though whether this was mere ly i pretense or not wasn't definitely ascertained, and there is the bare possibility that he was thus afflicted. To each persons that he accosted he handed out a card stating that he was deaf and dumb and wished to secure money to take him to an institution where he could learn a trade. Final ly some one telephoned to the police and the young beggar was rounded At the police station ?8.40 was found in his pockets and he cheerful ly stated that he had secured all of that in his two hours' begging in Astoria. He was placed in a cell and later released with the definite under standing that he leave town on the evening train. The young fellow seemed to be an old hand at tKe business arid was evidently -a "dope fiend" also. . If he was really, deaf and dumb there would not have been the slight est difficulty in gaining access to any one of the numerous state institutions without the slightest cost to himself or any one else, and the deaf and dumb "racket" is one of the com monest forms of affliction pretended by sturdy beggars who seek to play on the sympathies of the charitable. At the rate he was starting out he probably would have taken in $25 or perhaps $50 here in a couple of days. Despite all the warnings that are giv en about beggers the Astoria public seems to like to be' roped in. All begging is against the law. One of the business men offered to p?y the young chap for carrying in some wood. He immediately wrote on his card: "Not me." He inform ed the police that he was a Spaniard and that his name is Harry Fletcher. , Phone Or Write. Phone Main 881 or -write F. A. Fisher, Twelfth street, about Ideal Vacuum Cleaners. Earl A.

Boy Falls 22 Feet Little Raymond Hoefler, who has attained to the ripe age of three and half years, while playing back of his father's store Friday afternoon, fell to the tide flats below, a distance of 22 feet. Mr. Hoefler heard the lad cry as he struck the ground and hastened down and picked him up. He had apparently struck on his head and shoulders, and his face was bleed ing badly. Though the "wind" was knocked out of the little chap he was conscious and gritty and in a short time was apparently as well as ever. That he was not killed seems almost miraculous. Mutual Benefit Matter. A very successful stage rehearsal of "The Captain and the Spy" was held last night at the Astoria Thea ter. This play, by the First Company Coast Artillery Corps, Oregon Na tional Guard, will' be the best local talent production ever given in, this city and those who have not as yet purchased tickets better do so at the first opportunity for when the box office opens at 11 o'clock next Wed nesday morning there is going to be a scramble for seats.

DEATH OF BISHOP One Of His Old Friends is Also Critically 111. KALAMAZOO, Mich., March 20 A touching incident in connection with the death at Grand Rapids yes terday of Bishop George D. Gillespie of the Episcopal diocese of Western Michigan is found in the fact that one of the Bishop's oldest friends, Dr. E H. Van Dusen. formerly of this city, but now of Goshen, N; Y. cannot act as one of the pall bearers, in compli ance with the Bishop's last expressed wishes. Dr. Van Dusen is himself lying critically ill at his home in New York State. Another , old friend whom Bishop Gillespie in his last hours named as a pall bearer is Rev. Father Frank A. O'Brien, dean of St. Andrews Roman Catholic Cathedral here. Father O'Brien was a fellow member with Bishop Gillespie many years ago on the Michigan state board of corrections and charities.
