Hon. John Hahn has resided in AS
toria for the past 80 years. and al
though not taking an active part in
politics he has been more or less iden-
titled with the business development Of
the city. He has served one term as
mayor and two terms in the state leg
islature. AT the session In which Hon
c. w. Fulton was nominated as United
States senator he took an active part,
and 1t was due in great measure to
his influence that Mr.. Fulton was sue
cessful. In recognition of these serv-
ices, II is understood that he was the
choice of Senator Fulton for the posi-
tion Of postmaster. He received tae
unanimous Endorsement of the Oregon
delegation, and being a gentleman Of
unimpeachable character. his appoint
ment was made. Mr. Hahn will re-
ceive his commission by the first of
January. but will not probably enter
upon the discharge of his duties before
february 1. The appointment of Mr..
Hahn viii meet with popular favor.
He is one of the most en.e. prising busi-
ness men of the city, identified with
the growth and prosperity of the city
and county; a man of strict integrity
and possesses the necessary Qualifica-
tions for the important position tc
which he has been appointed.
The Astorian published two weeks
ago that Mr. Hahn would be appointed
and our predictions have been verri-
fed. There were several applicants for
the position, and the appointment Of
Mr. Hahn is a recognition of his valu-
able services rendered in securing the
election of Senator Fulton.

init OF Conviction, Notwith-
standing Powerful Address.

New York Dec. 2l.--Judge Davis did
not deliver his charge to the jury In the
trial OF Nan Patterson tonight. but sent
the jurymen home TO rest after a day
spent In listening TO the arguments Of
counsel Abraham Levy, chief counsel
for the defendant. occupied the time
OF the morning session. and Assistant
District Attorney Rand took UP the
afternoon
Both addresses were impassioned and
eloquent. Levy swayed the listeners
10 tears by his references to his client
and the home coming to Washington
she anticipated.
Rand's argument was severe ar
raignment OF Miss Patterson, and
when the prosecutor pItilessly con-
demned the woman as the murderer of
Young. she quailed under his lnvective.
After Rand's speech, Levy said:
1T was the most wonderful advocacy
OF any cause, and the most masterful
speech ever heard IN criminal case
In 25 years. In spite of that, though,
am confident Miss Patterson will be
acquitted.

MYSTERY DEEPENs.
Custer Mountain Case Presents Some
New Phases.

Colorado Springs. Col. Dec 21.-
The police are as far from clue TO
the solution OF the Cutler mountain
mystery as ever but the efforts are
being redoubled. The last clew that
was In their hands played out this
morning, when Ona d. Hoyt, a pretty
halrdresser. living in this city. and who
was reported to have disappeared, was
found safe at her room In the Clinton
hotel
Inquiries continue to come from
other cities for detailed description
OF the dead girl, but in no case has the
sending OF the description resulted in
the receipt OF further information or
inquiry
The coroner has In his possession no
less than 40 hairpins that were taken
out Of the coil of hair that was on the
head Of the deal girl, or picked up at
the scene OF the attempted cremation
of the body. These hairpins are all Of
stiff wire, there being no small, flexi-
BILE ones, and the number and strength
OF the pins are taken to indicate that
the growth OF hair was unusually
heavy.
At their meeting today the county
commissioners will offer reward of
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction of
the murderer. The excitement In tae
community over the crime is growing
daily, demand being made to run
down the crime. Talk Of lynching of
the murderer. should he be found, was
heard today.
Coroner Law buried the remains OF
the girl today In Evergreen cemetery in
q lot provided by the county The body
Was put in coffin and the latter en-
cased In a box, the county commission
ers offering to defray the expenses of
decent burie, for the unfortunate
girl, rather than permit her to be bur-
led In the grave OF a pauper
The jaws and the hair of the dead
girl have ben saved for Identification
purposes and the coroner is conf
dent that If any one appears who knew
her in life the girl can be identified
AT noon today Sheriff Grimes de-
tailed six more men to go to the hills

Passase--Storm Lasted
Ten Days.

New York. Dec. 21.--After a stormy
voyage. during which she was struck
by tidal wave. the steamship Kroon-
land arrived today from Antwerp. The
voyage was the worst the vessel ever
experienced There was nothing but
bad weather from the time she left
Antwerp on the 10th until she was al
most into port.
o nthe morning of the 18th the
Kroonland was struck by a tidal wave
which brought her to standstill and
sent tons of water tumbling over her
decks. The officers of the Kroonland
say that the water, when the wave
struck, sprung high above the tunnels,
and swept the hurricane deck The
officer on the bridge would have been
carried away but for the fact that he
took a wrap around the rail with his
belt when he saw the giant sea coming.

Portland, Dec, 2l,--The first sensa-

As the Investigations OF the federal
grand jury continue, rumors continue
to spread. II has been intimated from
one source and another that there Is
probability of the heads OF some OF the
most extensive and wealthy timber
syndIcates In the United States be-
coming involved In the tolls of the
law. Speculation has become rife that
such practices as shipping bogus To-
Gators west and providing them with
bonuses to file on land, prove up, then
sell out to the syndicates, the selling
out price constituting little else than
the bonus allowed for the fraudulent
transactions, will be looked into.
There have long been rumors ahoat
