The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-12-25

The citixens OF Upper Astoria have
called a mass meeting for next Tues
day for the purpose Of discussing the
proposition OF having publis thor
oughfare built from the esatern limits
Of the city TO the western limits, The
thoroughfare Is TO be built by general
taxation and kept In repair by the city.
At the present time, the means OF
reaching Upper Astoria Is confined to
one street. built mostly on piling. a
portion of It on sliding ground and II
any portion OF II Is destroyed by the
elements, Il win stop all communica"
ton between the residents OF Upper
Astoria and the business center OF the
city.
Prominent property owners living In
both sections OF the city are taking an
active interest In the matter and the
meeting next Tuesday night promises
to be largely attended. A public thor
oughfare Is an absolute necessity. II
will be in the nature OF a boulevard
something that every city In the United
States has, and which Is maintained
at the expense OF the municipalities.
II win relieve many OF the owners OF
small homes OF the excessive street as
sessments necessary to keep one street
in repair. The assessments for the
Improvement of streets amounts almost
to ocnfiscation OF the property, and is
a burden upon the small home build
ers, and has deferred many people from
buying property and building homes.
The question will be discussed at the
meeting ana resolutions adopted ask
ing the common council to make the
necessary surveys and build the high
way. II Is probable that a committee
will be appointed to confer with the
common council with view Of secur-
Ing speedy action. 1t is probable that
some OF the improved streets can be
used as a part Of the proposed thor
oughfare from the eastern limits to
the Clatsop mill. From there to the
western limits a new street should be
built. at least as far as Seventeenth
street, so that there viii be two streets
from the business portion OF the city
to Upper Astoria. As II is now. the
council will not improve Exchange
street, and all the water mains and fire
hydrants are on that street and none
on Commercial street. the only street
running to Upper Astoria. In the event
Of a fire should the roadway be dam
aged, as 1t was Friday there would be
absolutely no means OF reaching the
east end OF the city.
Another matter that should be con-
sIdered in connection with the building
Of public thoroughfare, Is the fact
that the people Of the east end are
to pay taxes. but receive
very limited amount Of the benefits OF
a municipal corporation in police and
fire protection. They are certainly en-
titled to something for the money they
contribute annually to maintain the
city government.

TRICKS OF THIEVES.
Clever Schemes That Aid In the Per.
petratton Of Crime.

Clever Schemes That Aid In the Per
petration of Crime.
thieves resort to clever methods In
order to get away with the goods" said
an old police officer, and am firmly
convinced that IL the criminals Of the
world would devote the same amount
Of time, talent and patience to think
ing out uplifting and advantageous
schemes for humankind they would
IN a short while revolutionize the world
I'm many useful ways. But somehow
the mind of the criminal seems to
be sharper. IL may say 1t. and bright
er and quicker than the mind Of the
honest man. The fact may be ex-
plained In any number Of ways. In
the first place, the criminal has moth
ing to do but think out some plan
Of getting something that doesn't be-
long to him. That Is his special busi-
ness. Quite naturally the plan he
works out under those circumstances
will often startle even the oldest men
In the police departments Of the coun-
try. Who would have thought Of the
wire saw, a thing so small that 1t can
be slipped in between the layers OF the
shoe sole. but the criminal who found
in it ready. convenient and unfailing
means of escape? He is constantly
thinking up some new scheme Here
we find man and woman in Jewelry
store. The woman carries parrot with
her. The bird suddenly gets away and
begins to fiutter around in the store.
The jeweler is afraid the parrot will
break something. He tries to catch 1t
and succeeds after short while. A
small purchase is made. The man and
the woman leave Result, several hun
dred dollars worth Of jewelry gone.
1t was stolen during the excitement
over the bird. Good scheme, eh? Yet
1t Is but one out of a million worked
BY the clever degenerates of the
world" - New Orleans Times-Demo-

Grand Rapids. Mich, Jan. 20. - EN-
Alderman Daniel T.. Lozier, accused
of accepting bride to aid the Lake
Michigan water deal, has changed his
plea of not guilty to guilty. Sen
tence was deferred. The trial of Ger
lit III. Albers was resumed. The testi-
mony of Alderman Renihan, whom Al
bers is alleged to have offered bride,
was concluded. He swore that he did
not change his vote upon the water
deal because of the talks with AL
bers, and that after the first talk in
which .Albers made the bribery propo-
sition he still remained friendly with
Alters, though after the last one he
did not.

physician when the water deal was be-

TALL MAN THE CHIEF SUSPECT
Bu. He Is Not Located-Joseph Ieitges

But. He Is Not Located-Joseph lIeitGer
Makes Statement.
Miss Schafer was teacher q Latin
in the Bedford schools. and was walk
ing along the street when some one
killed her. Several have been suspect
ed. including Joseph G. Heitger, resi-
dent here, q young man, and tall
man in a long overcoat who is said
to have been seen with the girl and
also to have been Quarreling with her.
The police are satisfied that the tall
man is the murderer, and that he Ia
the, one who was. as It is stated, an
noying Miss Schafer.
The officers decline to mention the
name Of the suspect" and when
asked II he is a stranger here said 1t
would be unusual for perfect stran-
ger in Bedford to know the locality
OF the cab-shed, though. they say, he
might not live In Bedford and yet be
familiar with the locality at which the
crime was committed. The theory of
the police is that the man who killed
Sarah Gchafer was capable Of dealing
terrific blow. and that he knew just
where to strike It
Further, that this man was enamored
OF Miss Schafer, and that she had
repulsed him. The idea Of the police
is that this man, brooding over his
passion for the young woman, deter
mined to have an interview with her
and watched for her on this particular
night as the one best suited for his
purpose; that he had made up his mind
to kill her II she again resented his ad-
vances, and watched for her. He kept
on the opposite ode Of the street I'M
til Captain Alexander had entered the
Winstandley House and then overlook
her at Fourteenth and l. streets.
In his examination by the officials
Joseph G. Heitger said that on the
evening Of the murder he left the home
of his father. Joseph c. Heitger, at
Gas o'clock. He arrived at the old IL
brary building on Fourteenth, be-
tween ] and X streets, before any OF
the basket ball players whom he
coached arrived. He said he believed
he was there few minutes after
o'clock. None Of the players was posi-
tive at what minute after they ar
rived. Heitger declared that he left
the building some time near p. M,
going to his home at once and chang
ing his clothes to keep an evening en-
gagement.

Mr.. John H. Cullom. editor OF the
Garland (Tex.) News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: sixteen years
ago, when our first child was baby.
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy In 1887. and finding 1t such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group. we
have never been without 1t In the house
since that time. We have five children
and have given it to all OF them with
good results. One good feature of this
remedy is that 1t is not disagreeable to
take and our babies really like 1t. An
other is that 1t Is not dangerous. and
there is no risk from giving an over
dose. / congratulate you upon the
