ALLEN COFFEE CITIZENS C01PL1 OF Uill BOYS BUT POLICE DON'T THINK TROUBLE IS SO VERY BAD AFTER ALL. A communication was filed in the ffic of the city auditor yesterday afternoon from half a doxen well known residenU of Uppertown, call ing upon the city fathers to endeavor to do something to "protect" that part of the" city from the vandalism of lot of young hoodlums. The communication calls attention to what i characterized as "acts of vandalism and wanton destruction of property" by a number of boys who congregate around 33rd street and Franklin avenue. It asks that the boys be arrested and punished, and the words ""arrested" and "punished" are underscored in the petition. It is signed by Gust Holmes, George Lindstrom. S- D. Adair for Laura P. Barker, E. Hauke. C Gramms and S. D. Adair. Ob Tuesday night, it ii alleged, the hoodlums threw about a cord of wood into the river. They break win dows, insult passersby, make the might hideous with their profanity and foul, tales, it is further alleged, end generally act as if there is no minint over them and never had any decent home training of sufficient j force to keep them m order wnen out on the streets. Also they pay no at tention to the curfew law. Sucb are the allegations made in OTHER ADDITION TO EXCLUSIVE LINES OF MEN'S FINE WEARING APPAREL Gothem Pajamas AND Underwear FOB Summer.

Probably it twill be found that there are some j pretty good boys among them, too. though why their parents let them run wild and mix up with the vicious element may be hard to understand. Chief Oberg said yesterday that the communication is the very first he had heard of the alleged trouble, and while nothing was said at police head quarters of the communication being filed with the city auditor for presen tation to the city council, doubtless the police feel that the complaint should have been made to them. But if the allegations be true it would seem almost incredible that the offi cer on the beat would know nothing of the matter. Why the complaining residents did not appeal to the officer on the beat instead of appealing to the Council, which has no direct au thority over the police, is not ex plained. Last night Officer Harry Rinn went up to look into the matter of the bad boys, and he found a lot of them at play on the street They were noisy enough, the officer found, but nothing of an untoward nature was going on. Being in citizen clothes the boys did not realize that the stranger was an officer. After a time he jumped in and grabbed a few of them and started to march them off to the police station. The lad? were very much frightened, and upon their promises to be good the officer generously released them and permit ted them to go home. Down by the Clatsop Mill Officer Rinn found an other gang of the lads and he scat tered them also. He says from all he could find that the actions of the boys halve not been very bad; they have been noisy and ought to have been kept at home, of course, but he did not think they were vicious. One of the lads, a young chap who has been breaking windows, was arrested by Officer Hanson a couple of weeks ago and locked up for a couple of hours. Evidently the police think j the lads could be easily handled with out appealing to the council for pro tection. NEW TO-DAY Kelley, The Wood Man. Vm.

Tti Kind You Kavs Always Eot tfetUS til IT IS REALLY TOO BAD TO STIR THIS UP BUT WHY ARE THE CHINESE LOTTERIES SO VERY VERY BOLD? This is a tale of a Chinese puzale and Chinese puzzles are sometimes hard to solve. Why do the seven local Chines companies run lottery games just as openly as other Chinese run their laundries? The puzzle is to find out why. As a rule the Chinese are very careful in concealing things that are under the ban of the white man's law. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain they are usually hard to beat when it comes to keep ing things in the back ground. There are seven Chinese lotteries in operation. Each lottery has two drawings every day. 4:30 in the after noon, and 10:30 at night. Following are the names of the companies: the Union, Pekin, Hang Wo. Shing Lee, Fook Loy, Tai Lee and Kim Lee. the latter company .being the one whose bank was "broke" a few weeks ago, but which soon started up again. All of these are within hailing dist ance of the county court house; or, one could stand on the steps of the federal building and throw stones into the windows of several of them. Everybody knows where they are; everybody knows they are operating in defiance of the law. "Oh, let the poor Chinamen have his little fun." is an argument usually made. "He isn't hurting anybody." The fact that the Chinese are run ning the games isn't the real ques tion. The real question is how is it that they are running so openly, just as if they were protected by the wav, the word "protected" is one that many of the Celestials are quite fa miliar with. Wonder how they learn ed its meaning? The real puzzle seems to . be "Who" instead of "why." But the ramifications of the Chinese lotteries in Astoria seem to be un derstood by very few. The amount of money that the seven companies handle every month is surprisingly large. It isn't alone the Chinese who gamble. The range of those who find great delight in the latteries runs from the Chinese in the laundries and in the canneries to the ladies who live in the fine honses up on the hillside. All the Chinese gamble; hundreds of men around town buy the funny little tickets- That's why some men don't buy new shoes for their children But the ladies up on the hillside they surely don't buy lottery tickets, some may think. How can they get them? Every Chinese store in the city and every laundry, with a few exceptions, sell tickets. Nearly all Chinese peddlers and laundry agents whose work takes them in nearly every house in tne city, are agents for the lotteries. These agents, as a matter of mere good nature, sell tickets to servant girls, and to ladies of the home. Of course it's such fun to take a chance occassionally, always with the chance of winning a hundred, or perhaps a thousand dollars. "Lottly tlicket me no sabe." STRONG By Lydia E.

MADE WELL AD La- That's what he avs the first time But later 011 John says to the lady, or servant: "Lottly tlickcttlisaone 10 cents disaouc dollar." Understand, there is no profit, or virtually very little. He does it as a favor to you. To him the lottery is a pleasure and a chance of winning legitimate money. He wanls to let you in on the pleasure and the same chanee of making an honest dollar. So don't blame John. In fact, nobody is blaming John It's just as question of why is he running his games as openly as taxes are collected and the further ques tion of "Who." Why are John, and his gambling companies, usually so timid, now so open ami o bold? If the companies were not protect ell, would they be running so openly? If they are protected, "ho is get ting the cash? OLD JUDGEMENT REVIVED. NE WYORK,April 21.-John J. Williams an employe of a machine company has been ordered by the Su preme court to pay a judgement of $14,000 with interest from 1004. at the rate of $5 a week. As Williams is 60 years old it would require more than' 120 years for him to pay the money, he would have passed the century mark. Mrs. Fisk'i husband and Wil liams were partners in the brokerage business twenty-five years ago. Thev had a dispute over funds and Fisk brought suit and obtained a judge ment which was never satisfied. Later his wife pushed the case. PRICE OF BREAD GOES UP A LITTLE ONE BAKERY ANNOUNCES THAT LOAVES WILL Bl5 CENTS STRAIGHT. The extraordinary hiiih price of n-heat has naturally had an effect on the price of bread, and in various cities bakers have gotten together and put up prices. Yesterday the LOregon bakery of this city, which probably has the biggest trade of the local concerns, announced that in the future it will sell loaves at 5 cents straight, or 20 for the dollar, instead of 22 for the dollar as heretofore. It is also stated that the amount of flour on hand in this city is not large and if the prices keep up it looks as if it will soon be necessary to put bread prices up even higher. In Portland also the question of higher prices is looming up. In some cities the prices have been jumped even higher than the conditions seem to warrant, but the Astoria bakers have acted reasonably, it would ap pear. In many places the prices are not changed ,but housewives begin to notice that the loaves grow smaller. NEWS OF THE DAY IN BRIEF, WALLA WALLA. Wash., April 21.
