ARREST SEVEN OF
FORTY THIEVES.

OF the forty thieves there re-
mained but thirty-three last night after
Policemen S. T. Suttman, G. +. Kopman
and John r. Ridden had returned from
an expedition to Sixteenth and Bryant
streets James Scanley, James RAJ
ferty, Charles Grove, George Mort,
Henry Hcaly, Oscar Olsen and Patrick
Cunningham were the seven young men
arrested and they were booked at the
Mission police station on charges of
vagrancy.
The police think 1T possible that
the gang may be connected with the
series of robberies that has been mys-
tifying the department. Members of
the gang are suspected of being con-
nected with the robbery of five men in
a restaurant at Third and Bryant
streets last Monday night.
The vagrancy charge is possibly a
temporary expedient to hold the men.
The forty thieves" who do not,
however, trace their ancestry to
Arabian Nights characters, are col
lection of young men and boys who
enjoy being tough and who have for
years created trouble in the south of
Market street district. Now that the
gang is reduced to thirty three, the po-
lice trust that. the magic OF the name
will be impaired and the south side be-
come safer. If not the number will be
reduced still further.

of Supervisors to prohibit the proposed
building of the temporary City Hall on
the site chosen for the library and now

the city had expressed their desires by

SCHOOLS IN SOUTH
TAKE KINDLY TO
RUGBY.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 26.-
DIR. Frank Angel. chairman of the fac
ulty athletic committee of Stanford
University, who recently issued a let
ter to all preparatory schools of the
coast urging upon the high school lads
the adoption of the Rugby game in lieu
of football, reports that many answers
have been receiver at headquarters.
The movement seems to have gained
ground, particularly in the southern
part of the State. The Southern
Academic League reports that special
meeting will be called TO consider the
proposition. If this organization de-
cides to take UP the game, many
schools will play Rugby. Los Angeles
High. Harvard school, Redlands High
School, Pasadena and Riverside schools
are included in the league.
The greatest impediment to the adop-
tfon of the game seems to be a lack of
coaches. Stanford and California VIII
be able to supply these in future sea-
sons II the game becomes permanent
institution
None of the nortnern schools have
reported favorably upon the adoption
of the new game, but are at present
preparing to enter the field according to
the old regulations. This fact makes II
impossible for the freshmen teams to
find suitable opponents.

WEATHER.
MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.

The message OF Mayor Wise to the
council Monday night anent contracting
bills, contrary to the provisions of the
ordinances of the city, is in accord with
suggestions made by the Astorian long
time since. The business OF a municipal
corporation should be conducted along
the same lines as a private business en-
terprise. No business man would think
of allowing his clerks to 60 out and buy
goods or supplies or make contracts,
without first consulting him. The many
bills on file in the office of the auditor
and police Judge for supplies purchased
by the different departments, show ex-
travagance in many instances and
charges for goods that is exhorbitant
and more than is charged other people.
Political debts are often paid by the
award of contracts, even for small
amounts, and it is to cure this evil that
caused Mayor Wise to send mis- message
to the council.
The suggestion that the council make
out list of supplies required for each
department, and advertise for bids for
furnishing them, is a matter worthy Of
careful consideration by the council, al
though it is doubtful if the suggestions
will be acted upon. It will certainly
give every merchant an opportunity to
bid, and result in securing necessary
supplies much cheaper than they are
now furnished.

CHILD LABOR LAW.

Remedial legislation in the matter of
the child labor law seems to be ne.
cessity and one that should be cOnsid-
cred by the legislative assembly Of Ore
gon when it convenes next winter. At
the request Of number of women, who
had interested themselves in trying to
save the young boys from becoming
criminals, law was enacted four years
ago by the legislature, prohibiting chill
dren under IA years of age, from being
employed in any telephone, telegraph
manufacturing or other industry. A
commission was appointed to enforce
the provisions Of the law, but 50 far as
the enforcement is concerned, it is ap-
parent that no we'll directed efforts have
been made and the law today is virtual
" dead letter and cumbersome to the
statutes of Oregon. That some legiSla-
ton in this direction is necessary admits
of no doubt
Our child labor law is admittedly one
of the best in the United States. Its
enforcement, however leaves much to
be desired, but supposing for the sake
of the argument, that all evasions there
of can be stopped, there remains the
question of the boy of "A who leaves
school but does not go into any gainful
occupation, Many instances of this kind
noticible in Astoria and the police find
lt difficult to even enforce the curfew
ordinance on account of strenuous op-
position from parents.
The question is very serious one
