ST. J0HNSB00N0ARIES
MAY BE ENLARGED
At the meeting of the St. Johns city
council next Tuesday, tha petition to
enlarga the city boundaries, by Incor
porating; aome additional territory along
the right of way of the O. R. & N. Ry.
Co., will bo passed on. There Is no op
position to this measure; the action of
the council will be purely formal, and
the matter, since It is an amendment
to the city charter, will be put up to
the people for referendum vote at a
special election, the date of which hns
net yet been determined.
The proposed addition has a twofold
purpose, to extend the city limits to
tn
civil service commission to provide a
list of musicians from which the leader
could select bis band.

be asked to contribute to the fund of

for concert purposes was definitely de
cided this morning. Mr. Eange wanted
the board to ask the company to con
tribute towards the support of the band,
but Dr. Wilson opposed and stated that
he did not believe tn the board putting
itself under obligations to any city cor
poration. Mr. Lance explained his reauest by
stating he had written to Seattle and
Spokane and learned that those cltlea
secured all of their park music from
the railways. He said that inasmuch as
the company secured a large patronage
from persons attending the concerts,
that It should contribute to the fund.
No vote was taken on the question, but
the board seemed to take the same stand
as Dr. Wilson.
If the company or anybody else wishes
to contribute to the fund voluntarily the

A Hindu laborer whose name is. sup

over and killed by a Northern Paciflo
freight train near' the foot of Seven
teenth street shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning. The man and two companion
of hi own race had been seen in the vi

night. All of the men were considerably
under the Influence of liquor and were
ordered by tne orricer to Ret orr tne

the man? who was killed either walked
down the railroad track for a short dis
tance and then went to sleep between
the' rails or that he stumbled in front
of the locomotive as the train ap
proached. Neither the engineer nor the fireman
of the locomotive saw the man until

TANGLED TONGUER
THREATENS GARDNER
Superintendent Gardner of the Boys'
and Girls' Aid society has received a
letter purporting to be from Emma Bar
ton, who is a member of the Tongues of
Fire cult, warning him that the wrath
of Ood will be visited upon him if he
does not return little Edna Slngerland
to John Slngerland. her roster rather.
The latter says that Judge Frazer was
likewise warned before his death, bu
1 failed to heed the warning and the an
per of God descended suddenly upon
mm.
Judge Frazer took Edna Slngerland
away from the Influence of the Tongues
of Fire cult after a court hearing In
which It was shown that the health of
the child was about to be wrecked. She
was placed in the care of an outside
family, where she remains. The letter
to Gardner Is evidently an effort to
frighten him into action to have th
child returned to her foster parent.

Coroner J. P. Flnley will not run
again next June. He has announced
that three terms of office are all thnt
he wishes, and that he will not again
be a candidate for coroner.
This announcement was brought about
by the scandal which has arisen since
the forglnir of a death certificate for
Golda Rowland, a young school teacher.
who died under suspicious circumstances
In the X-Radlum Institute last October.
"My friends have known for
time that I did not Intend to run for
office again," said Mr. Flnley, "and I
want to say since this matter has coma
up that those who have criticised me
over the Rowland matter will not have
to vote for me if they think I have acted
unwisely. I will not again run for
office."

Member of th health and pollc
commute of th city council thl morn
ing recommended that th poolroom
ordinance be passed and th measure
will probably be taken up at Wedn
day' council meeting and becom 1
law.
The chief provisions of th new law
are that no minor under the age of 19
hall be permitted to frequent poolroom
ana mat au minor shall be axciuoea
after 10 o'clock at night. Th pool
room will be compelled to close at
ine same nours a saloon. 1 ociova

This 1 considered one of tha best
ordinances yet drafted for th city's
morals and is expected to act as a graft
preventive of crime among young boy
Many lads have been arrested in Port
land In the past few month for petty
thieving and robbery whose downfall
couia t airectiy traced to the pool
room. The boy became so Infatuated with
the games and associations found In
the poolrooms that they soon took to
stealing in order to secure money with
which to pay for their games. Some of
them even went so far in their effort
to illegally gain money that they held
up pedestrians and entered houses.
Attention was called to the existing
evil by The Journal. The Congress of
Mothers, the Woman's club and the
Council of Jewish Women also took the
matter up and Councilman Bel ding
rramed an oruinance along lines which
were approved by the representatives of
these organizations.
