For Swimming in the River Without Proper " A city ordinance was passed recently by the Council regulating bathing suits to be worn by swimmers in the river. There have been so manyeomplalnts made In days gone by about boys swimming in public places that the city fathers finally decided to take a hand and adopt a reg ulation attire. 1 " Heretofore a pair of trunks, which barely covered the loins, were sufficient to protect one from arrest Hundreds of boys plunged in without anything on at all. '. ' -. .4-. - ' The Council, ' after tuuch consideration. decided that the proper bathing suit which could be worn in public was one which would cover the body from tne shoulders down to the knees. They ac cordingly framed an ordinance making It a misdemeanor to appear in the river In any other garb. The police have been busy ordering boys out Of the water ' during the recent hot spell andJ warning them to never again swim without the regulation bath ing suit. Officer Parker has been partic ularly unfortunate in uetng on the river front, and has had much trouble. Wed nesday he decided to deliver his last course of lectures, yestaraay ne rouna B. Robertson and Fred Berg In the river at Victoria dock. Both boys are 18 years of age, yet they only wore a pair of trunks weighing a few ounces each. They ire arrested aad taken to the police station. V Captain' Moore questioned Robertson and Berg pretty thoroughly, and. arter explaining the ordinance and giving them a lecture, let them go on their own rec ognisance until this afternoon, when they will be given a hearing in the police court: ' IT IIC OUMIflED When I was first mentioned to Con gress," said Charles V. soott, Representa tive of the State of Kansas at large, in recent conversation, "I cautioned members ot my household not to speak about the matter as though my election were a foregone conclusion. The admonl tlon was particularly directed to my son, youngster of t years, and he promised faithfully to mind. "While the -campaign was in its early stage this youth accompanied me on railway trip, I was In another seat from htm absorbed in a book, but this did not prevent my noting that he had fallen Into a conversation with a stranger. The youngster's voice telling the gentleman where he lived waa the first thing heard. Then he volunteered the informa tion that after awhile the Scott family might move to Washington. "At this point I looked around at him sternly, and catching my eye, he added, .That Is, if there are more Republican than Democratic votes In the) State of Kansas.'

How Is it that Judges are so in clined to sympathize with a bad small boy, to the extent of encouraging ma licious mischief and vile language, when the small party happens to belong to a prominent citizen, and the punishing party is only a temporary sojourner T A case in point was before the Munici pal Court one day last week of which no record, for obvious reasons, ever appeared In the dally Oregonlan, though it was the first and most prominent case of the day. A man was charged with assault and battery on a youth of 10 years, the boy having called the man vile names on the street and having been well shaken therefor, but not Injured in the least Testimony could have been had in abundance, if it had been allowed, of a long-standing and persistent annoyance arid attacks "Just in fun" on the part of the small boy and his elder brother, on the little girls of the defendant occurring on the street and lasting for several months, but this was barred, though the fact of the vile language waa well estab lished. The defendant admitted the tech. nlcal "assault", of a well-deserved shak ing, and. was willing to stand a nominal fine, but the presiding authority, probably Intent on making a record from the start imposed a fine outrageous In amount and altogether out of proportion to the lnslgnificent amount of Injury done the boy, the direct testimony of the fact of vile language being disregarded and testimony of witnesses a block away that the boy was horribly beaten and kicked was accepted. Cannot a Judge realise that In so view. auuuiu og is Qirectiy en couraging disorder, bad morals and ma licious mischief In oases where parents will not control their youngsters, but sneer at any rebuke by anyone thinking themselves privileged to annoy and blackguard people who never gave mem any onense.

AMATEUR N1QHT, This evening will be the last appearance of .the Japanese acrobats at 'Shields' Park. They leave tomorrow for San Francisco. What has been termed amateur night has been Inaugurated by Manager Shields, and tonight will be the first appearance of the applicants. A great number have applied for permission to exploit their talents be fore an' audience at the park, and tinere may be many features that will be amus ing to the extreme. Some new attractions have been arranged for next week and good program will be Klvenj , GREAT fiCilRAL Railway Getting Ready! for Construction, The board of directors ot the Empire construction company met yesterday af ternoon. Stock to the amount of 81.000.0UO was subscribed for. Of this. L. D. Kin ney, as trustee, 'took 61 per cent of the stock on - terms which persons In Spo kane and Taeoma offered. The remaining 4ft per cent will be sold to Port landers. The Empire Construction Company and the Great Central Railroad Company are. sister corporations, and the object ot creation of the former was to build the latter. When the railroad shall finally have been built and even before tbat time and during the period of construc tion, Portland will furnish most of the commissary supplies. The board of directors of the Great Central also met yesterday afternoon. The Wharf at .Empire, on Coos Bay, and the one mile of road to be laid to further the work of construction, were ordered built. The Journal has several times ad verted to these, and to the preliminaries necessary to be accomplished before the work could go on. me new wharf will cost 110,000. It Will greatly facilitate the landing of material to be used In the work of construction. It is Interesting to note that the Great Eastern Company has" purchased the maps and profiles of the Umpqua River Railroad Company, ' which Intended to build a line between Drain and Bcotts burg. Although' to build a line via this point would mean a deflection from the direct course of 40 miles further than to go via Roseburg, the route to Portland would be shortened oy the same distance. The new line, if it shall finally be built so as to include tne urain-Bcottsuurg line, and is to become a part of a new transcontinental system instead of a mere local line, will open up to market vast timber tracts. In such event. It Is hinted the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com pany will find over it an outlet to the Eastern market Never before In the history of Oregon were prospects better lor its develop ment. Vast enterprises are now In Incu bation, and Eastern capitalists have awakened to the fact that this Is still a virgin field for investments. The Great Central Railroad Company will prove a powerful factor in state development, for It will open up to trafflo with the outside world a region which has heretofore been practically Inaces'plble." SESSION CLOSED Visltinz Food Commissioners Take a Trip to the Coast. This morning the National Association of Food and Dairy 'Commissioners left on the steamer Potte for Astoria where they will be entertained by the Citliens' Club, who will tender them a banquet. From Astorlai the visitors will go to Seoaide and return to Portland tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon's session of the con vention was the closing and the most eventful one, as Oregon carried off first honors. The closing session opened with a paper on "A United States Pharmacopoeia," by Dr. E. N. Eaton, State Analyst of Illinois. Dr. Eaton brought out the fact promi nently that a national food pharmacopoeia was absolutely necessary. The discussion on this subject waa opened by Drs. R. B. Doollttle, of Michigan, and J. M. Nelson, of Nebraska, who expressed themselves to be of the same opinion as Dr. Eaton. The election of officers followed and resulted In J. W. Bailey, of Oregon, being elected president; Jesse K. Cope, Pennsyl vania, first vice-president; N. W. P. Mc- Coimell. Minnesota, second vice-president; H, R. Wright, Iowa, third vice-president; R. M. Allen, Kentucky, secretary-treas urer; executive committee, A. H. Jones, Illinois; J. E. Blackburn, Ohio; H. R. Wright Iowa. Communications . were then read from various cities requesting the next conven tion, but in all probability this honor will go to Salt Lake City, as that place is most urgent in Its request PORT OF PORTLAND. At a meeting of the Port of Portland Commissioners late yesterday afternoon bids for replacing the pump flyer in the old dredge, two blades of which were broken by a rock that ran through the pump Wednesday, were rejected because of the length of time for making It. How ever, It was decided to Use an old flyer which the commission has on hand. ' During the week which the dredge work ed. It. was In operation 123.69 hours and excavated 17,500 cubic yards of earth, mostly cement clay. The charge of 82339.54 against James Steel, a former treasurer of the Port of Portland, was removed, because of the failure of the Oregon National bank. Takes in Big Money. City Treasurer Werlein, his assistants. and City Auditor Devlin and hlss office force are busy men these days, handling the flood of money which is pouring in for licenses, t'p to last night nearly $28,- 000 had been received, and today's re ceipts are expected . to swell the total to 840,000.

What's the Latest : From Tracy? fsthe Universal Question. " escaped coo. t ivts sjieawvTsa aav esssaB -, " newspaper reporter are greeted at every turn with the question: "What Is tne latest from Tracy V The reporters gen erally reply: , "Read tonight's Journal. All the latest news." -.. .. . Nearly everyone has pointed advice to give as to the proper way to trap the convicts, but since the report has spread that Tracy generally shoots to kill these persons are not going out into the field themselves to put their plans into execv tion. Expressions of varying opinion are heard at every hand. Some persons actually go so far as to say that they hope Tracy will get away. One well-known railroad man said this morning: "Tracy is crazy, I certainly believe. Notwithstanding this, he ought to be captured and hanged, anyway, for a wild beast like this In human form is dangerous to have at large." v ' Just as if we didn't know tbat. At a Morrison-street photograph gal lery entrance today the photographs of Tracy and Merrill were exposed to view. A morbid crowd of men and women gath ered about the spot. The women ap proached the pictures in a hushed sort of way, and If they said anything at all, which was seldom, they ejaculated: 'What dreadful men!" One man was expatiating upon the sub ject of criminal character as revealed In the physiognomies of the convicts. He closed bis voluntary lecture by pointing at the photographs and saying! "Tracy has an unmistakable criminal counten ance, but Merrill does not have that ap pearance. A comparison between the faces of the two men shows Merrill to be the less harder looking and the more Intelligent of the two. The bystanders felt duly impressed, and moved on. The Janitor poet who frappes the bric- a-brac about the city ticket office of the Rio Grande system has come forth from the sphinx-like silence In. which he has been ruminating so long. An oc casion like the present he could not let pass, and broke loose with the following, which he left written on a card In the office: Tracy and Merrill Were once in great peril Now Merrill is tree, , And so Is Tra-cy. "G. P., the Poet" Traveling Passenger Agent Casey of the Milwaukee was seen entering: a telegraph office with a telegram in his hand and a putsled expression on his countenance. Detective Dannie Wiener inquired of the railroader: "What's the trouble?" "Well," said Casey, "I'm trying to get something through my brain." Dan looked awed. Then Casey said: "I received a wire from Tracy to re serve for him a lower berth on our "Pio neer Limited' and waa about to do so, for Tracy's Intended trip East, when I received a wire from Merrill to cancel Tracy's orders and give the two a draw ing room so as to be exclusive." Employing Printers Meet. The regular business meeting of the Employing Printer of Portland was held last night Fifty offices were represented. Pinner was served at K ruse's at 9 o'clock. There was free discussion of plans for improving the condltions under which tho fraternity in this city Is working. Com mittees were provided for, to take up sev eral lines of work that the association feels confident will result in permanent good. Perhaps the most Important of these is the effort that will be made to show to Portland business men the very great number of men employed In the printing business and allied trades, the amount of wages they reelve annually and spend at home, thus entitling em ployes and employers alike to every pos sible consideration at the hands of Port land merchants and railroads and other Interests that this large army of wage earners and employers are helping to sup port. At last night's dinner music was fur nished by the Bllverton Mandolin Club, the members of which are personal and business friends of President Pinney, of the Printers' Association.
