ASTORIA RELIEF
The last Important action boforo
the present city administration goes
out oC existence on January 1st, was
performed by the city council at Its
meeting last night, which Is Its last
unless some emergency matter comes
up . before next Tuesday, when the
'.council unanimously votod to send
(it once (500 to aid In relieving the
emergency needs of the recent Asto-
"rlu fire sufferers. In accordance on
the first train out to the north this
morning City Hecordor Alford mail
led tho Christmas gift chock for f 500
.tc. Astoria.
. 'The council's action was taken Im
'nied'atcly after tho meeting was con
vened. In fact before starting regu
lar proceedings each member had It
In mind for .Mod ford to do something
for Astoria. It was the first meet
ing of tho council since that 111 fated
CUy had been wiped out by flames,
lience when tho body was Just as
sembling and there had boon talk of
Bonding the northern city sufforors a
'car load .oj apples as a gift from
hub cuy mo opinion prevanou mat
It would bo tho bottor, plan to' delay
iictlon Until the Astoria citizens' re
lief commlttoo had been communicat
ed with and It was loamed Just
what was most neoded.
lience Mayor Gates put In a long
instance phone call and soon had
phatrman Cilbert of the rellof com
mittee on the wire. Mr. Gilbert ex
pioased himself as profoundly grate
ful when informed that Medford was
going to make a substantial donation,
and that it had been suggested to
rush b car load of apples.
v However, Chairman Gilbert said
that while Astoria people would ap
preciate any gift, yet money-was
ileoded most of all for emergoncy
jitio.i The money could be spent for
Eroded substantial food and clothing.
iind,thc i lljie.;. Thereore any amount
f&f inoney would bo deeply appreciat
i'A and would go furthor In sending
j-ollor than any other commodity,
fs': Immediately on hearing the may
report of this telephone conver
;etlon the councilmen dropped all
"other business and with only a few
'vfcdo discussion voted at once to
.rend $500. AH would havo liked to
Save sent more, but It was doomod
Tliut In view of the close financial Blt
'Kut'.oii of this city and that a new
. jhrimlntHtratlon was JuBt coming Into
spower It would be best to koop tho
present donation at thn $500 Bum

ATlw council transnclod much bual-
HP88 of a routine naturo Including
jli-Klslatlon to clear up proporty deods,
nd dtreussod tho water situation In
formally. Althohgli this was tho
Vi'.t rngular mooting of the council It
was thought best to adjourn tho
flipping until noxt Tuesday night, so
v u to be nble to assemble in cbbo Borne
t mergoncy matter came up.

pany U. Louhslana National Guard of

Morehouso' parish yesterday, was In
camp at Mer Rogua at daybreak to
day and will remain there for several
days, according to a message receiv
ed here from Captain W. W. Cooper,
tho commander.
Captain Cooper said he was un
prepared to give the purpose for
which the soldiers were sent to Mer
Rogue and had no Information other
than orders to go Into camp at Mer
Rogue.
Reports 'were current throughout
Moorebouso parish today that the
bodies of Watt Daniels and Thomas
Richards bad been located either In
Cooper or LaPourcbo lake, weighted
down with a wagon whoel said to
have been taken from a farmer's ve
hiclo by the band of masked men

W" Avoid Imitation! and Subilitutei
before ho. departed from Los AngelcB
after a busy week hero spent In or
ganizing plans for tho development
of a mutuality of Interests and sym
pathy with tho artistic commercial
community which the local motion
picture colony forms, between it and
tho civic community in which the
picture makers llye.'f.
air. Huys said:
"Every man in tho right and at tho
proper tlmo is entitled to his chance
to make good. It Is apparent that
ftoHcoo Arbucklo's conduct since that
troublo merits another chance.
"It becamo known apart from the
bric-f formal uttorances that certain
definite features figured in tho action
that will allow Arbucklo another op
portunity to make good.
"First, perhaps, was the fact that
he seems completely chastened and
that his conduct slnco has was bar
red from the screen last April appar
ently hus been exemplary.
"Again it is known that Arbucklo
never made a picture to which any
exception could poBslhly be taken and
ho never will. His pictures wero not
high art. of- course, but thoy were
always clean and they brought laughs
to millions.
"Still again It wns felt that Inns
much ns" a-Jury acquitted him of the
charges upon which ho was tried ho
Is constitutionally entitled to the
right of any citizen tho light of
working at tho only thing he knows
how to work at.
"No plans are in contemplation for
the rclenso- of the thrco -comcdlos In
which Arbucklo appeared boforo his
trial, and which have since been held
up; and tho action now taken does
not In any way concern tho release
of theso films."
Tho career of Arbucklo as ono of
thb most successful and popular mo
tion picturo .comedians was halted
by a tragedy in Uepteinbor, 1H2I.. On
the- fifth of that month, Labor day,
Arbuekln occupied a suite of rooms at
tho St. Francis hotel, Han Francisco,
whoro he was visited by a number
of men and women, most of thoni
connected with motion picturo or
ntngo work. Ono of the visitors wns
Mica Virginia Kuppc, who had been
filmed in minor parts In l.os Angeles.
Miss Itappo was tukon suddenly
111 und rushed to n hospital where
sho died four days later. An autopsy
rcv?nlod an Internal injury. State
ments wore made by othor members
of tho party that tho actress was
nlone In a room with Arbucklo when
'sho begnn to scream and was carried
out, nppnrontly suffering great pain.
Arbucklo was indicted for man
slaughter and thrco trials followed.
The Juries In tho first two disagreed,
while tho third returned a verdict of
acquittal.
Arbucklo's pictures wero with
drawn shortly after his arrest.
Theatres In various parts Of tho coun
try began to run them again when
ho was acquitted, but they were with
drawn again by direction of Mr, Hays,
who had recently been made chief
arbiter tf the allied motion picture
Industries. Arbucklc's emit met with
tho Famous Dayers-Lasky corpora
tion was cancelled during tho trials.
Arbucklo married Miss Mlnta Dur
fee, a vaudeville actress. They were
separated at tho tlmo of tile Happo
tragedy, but Miss Durfoo returned
to her husband while ho was In Jail
and stood by 111 in during the trials.
After tho acquittal sho wont to Now
York to resume her stage work,' but
wild she and her husband wero fully
reconciled. '
