Merry Time at
MayDay Festival
Children Crown Their Queen.
Hold Parade and Produce Can.
tata in the Evening.

Astorians had the opportunit,
yesterday of enjoying for the frs
time in the history Of the city /
May day celebration carried ont
solely by children. From the cere.
mony of the browning of the queen
during the forenoon TO the con,
clusion of the performance of the
cantata, Fairy Queen" in the
evening the young people had d
gay, good time, and one that was
enjoyed not a little by their elders,
who were interested spectators of
the parade and sports and who
crowded the hall during the night 4
performance. Owing TO the uncer
tainty of the weather il was de.
cided Friday evening, after many
postponements, to conduct the
juvenile carnival next Saturday,
but as yesterday dawned auspic,
iously it was hastily concluded that
it would not be wise to further dc.
lay matters, so the program in its
entirety was carried out.
The browning Of the queen, lit.
tie Miss Mildren Stevenson, opened
the days exercises. Master Eddie
Laurin, the gallant young prime
minister, placed the crown of flow.
ers on the young lady's head, the
act being accompanied by an ap.
proprlate speech. Then the gra
cious little sovereign and her
courtiers formed a procession and
marched about the streets. The
queen was seated in d hower-be.
decked cart, drawn by number of
gaily garbed pages. The herald
of the occasion was Master Noble
Rannells, who, astride prancing
steed, led the way through the city,
heralding the approach Of the cav
alcade by inspiring strains blown
from a b fiat cornet. The presence
of Sheriff Thomas LinvilIe lent
dignity to the parade feature of
the program, the genial official be
ing singled out in the procession
for many good-natured cheers
After the parade the sports in the
customs house square were carried
out, much to the entertainment of
the hundreds that lined the side.
walks. Two performances of the
cantata were given in the evening
in the A. 0. U. w. hall. Both per.
formances were well attended. and
thoroughly enjoyed.

Sues to Stop
Sale OF Whisky
Kentucky Firm Alleges That As
toria Man Is Disposing Of
Spurious Article.

Suit for an injunction restrain
ing L. X. Hyman, a local liquor
man, from selling Harper whisky
was filed in the circuit coutr yes
Iterday by Fulton Bros, attorneys
| for the Bernheim Distillery Com.
pany Of Kentucky. The action j,
the only one Of its kind which has
ever been instituted in this county
and the outcome will be awaited
with interest by liquor dealers.
According to the complaint FLED
yesterday, the distilling company
is the sole manufacturer of grade
of liquor known as Harper whisky,
which is represented to be Of fine
quality. The company has made
this whisky for 20 years and has
been entitled to exclusive use Of the
name; and the value of the trade
mark is said to be more than $40,
900. The complaint then makes the
following allegation:
"That the said defendant has
instituted an unfair and fraudu
lent competition with the plaintiff
in that said defendant, at the city
of Astoria, wrongfully and unlaw
fully, and without the consent Of
plaintiff, has been and is now sell
ing and offering for sale a certain
inferior and spurious compound of
whisky, which the said defendant
fraudulently and wrongfully
claims and represents to be tho
whisky produced by this plalnt-
.iff."
1t is further alleged that the
article offered for sale by Hyman
is not Harper whisky, as represent
ed by the defendant, who has no
authority to sell that brand Of
whisky-a circumstance calculated
to injure the business Of the plant
iff and damage the reputation of
its whisky.
The company asks the court for
a preliminary injunction enioin-
ing Hyman from selling the liquor
which he calls Harper; that, upon
the final hearing Of the case, the
injunction be made perpetual, and
that the plaintiff be allowed costs
of the action and such other re
lief as the court may deem equit.
able.

Attorney-General Rules That
There Can Be No Registration
After the 18th Inst.
BIG WEEK AHEAD FOR CLERK
viii Have to Register More
Than One Hundred Voters
Daily Ii Those Entitled to
Votes DO Their Duty.

If the total vote of Clatsup coun'
ty is to be registered, voters must
observe the formality Of registering
at the rate Of about rs day dur
ing the six days Of the present week
during which the books will be
open. 1t has all along been sup
posed that the books would be kept
open next Monday night, the 10th,
because of the fact that the 18th
the day fixed by law on which the
books shall close, falls on Sunday /,
but the attorney general Of the
state has ruled that the books must
close on the night of the 14th, and
it Is probable County Clerk Clinton
will be guided by the opinion rend.
cred by the attorney general.
Mr.. Crawford's ruling seem,
consistent. He cites that the law
requires the clerk to close the book
on the night Of May Is, which
leads to the logical conclusion that
the books can not legally be kept
open after that time. As Sunday
is a non-judicial day, and the books
can not be held open on Sundayl
the attorney general holds that
they must be closed ON the night of
May IA. A legislative act would
be necessary before the time for
holding them open could be ex-
tended.
AT the close Of business at the
county clerks Office last night the
number of registrations was slight
ly in excess of the number reg
istered two years ago at the same
date. The city precincts show ar
increase of 72 over the registrations
of 1902, but the country precincts
this year are much behind. Sever
teen hundred and fifty voters had
registered up to May 7, while this
year the total number is 1753-ol
was a few minutes before the office
closed for the night. Perhaps 1880
ovters in all had registered, The
Astorian's list Of registrations hav-
ing been taken about 4:45.
With the exception of city pre-
cincts No. 2 and No. 4, all the poll
ing places in Astoria are ahead of
the registrations of two years ago
No. 2 shows shortage of six, while
