Roosevelt. Walter L. Cohen, chair
man of the committee. called the meet
ing to order, and S. S. Francisco
acted as secretary in the absence of
D. A. Lines.
Emile Kuntz occupied the chair

luton in which he invited Chairman

Pays the Penalty for Neglect of Duty.
Tax Collector John Fitzpatrick of
New Orleans has settled with the
state auditor for the net sum OF the
public moneys collected and embez-
zled by Chas. E. Letten, confidential
chief clerk in the first district tax
office, who attributes his downfall TO
the malign mesmeric influence OF
negress with whom he consorted and
to whom he claims to have given the
bulk of his stealings.
The aggregate of the Letten defslca-
tions was ascertained to be something
over S116, 900, and after deducting col
lector's commissions the shortage
amounted to s114, 025,13, which Col
lector Fitzpatrick paid as soon as
the official Investigate of the books
of his Office demonstrated that this
was the sum due to the state. This
action is greatly to Mr.. Fitzpatrick
credit, particularly because it is said
that he found it necessary to mortg rage
all of his own and his wife's property
to obtain the necessary funds with
which to effect the settlement. He has
already secured several thousand
dollars from the wife and sons of his
defaulting clerk, and has attached all
the property of Virginia Reed, the
negress with whom Letten eonsorted.
It is possible the victimized tax col
lector will be fortunate enough to re-
cover in this way nearly half the
amount of the shortage, and We hope
he may do not only that we'll, but
better.
While the prompt restitution to the
state at the sacrifice or enlargement
of his own fortune does honor to Mr..
Fitzpatriek's personal integrity and
sense of propriety, it does not absolVe
him from the charge of having mex
cusably neglected the duties of his
Office and demonstr ated his unftness
for such position. He is paying d
pretty heavy penalty for this neglect,
and presumably he will be more at
tentive to his official business in the
future, if only for the sake of his own
interests, but this eleventh-hour
awakening to an appreciation of his
obligation to safeguard the public
moneys by maintaining some degree
of supervision over the accounts and
funds for which he is responsible to
the people, should put him out of the
running as candidate for reelection,
and it would surely do SO almost any
where outside Of dyed-in-the- wool
Democratic Louisiana.

Mayor Wise has returned from Port.

In the course Of an interview yesterday
morning with an Astorian reporter he
expressed himself In the following terms,
which are altogether applicable to the
existing conditions:
Outside Of few professional dema.
gogues, who are never happy unless they
stir up trouble, the good judgment Of
the average American has again come to

was We'll, your Astoria banks. we hear

Yesterday afternoon an Astorian re-
porter hunted up Mr.. Burns the Port
land foreman Of the Pacific States Tele.
phone Company, In charge 81 the project
ed service-improyements here, and asked
what the scope Of repairs and construc.
tion was to be, and was told that II was
the purpose Of The company to revamp
the entire equipment in this city and to
cable all the wires overhead, leaving no
open wires to disfgure or impede the
city nor It's departments
There are now 30 reels Of cables on
the o. r. & N. docks here, which will be
devoted to this phase Of the work. It
was originally intended to put the wires
underground, but this scheme has been
abandoned, In part. owing to the fact
Of the constant repairing and rebuilding
Of the busy streets Of the town; yet a
large per cent Of the downtown wires,
notably from the site Of the present
Office OF the company as far south as
Franklin avenue. will be underground.
or piped and hung on the stringers below
the streets.
Plent o; new poles will be used in
the new construction work and there are
several carloads now in the railway
yards here for that purpose.
Altogether there will be $4,000 feet Of
cables swung overhead. each containing
from rs to $50 pairs Of transmission
wires which, reduced TO apprcciable
figures. means many mile Of new sery-
ice equipment In this department.
Ten men win arrive here today to join
Mr.. Burns in the immediate launching
OF the work. and the plans covering the
last detail OF the task have been pre-
pared for use and are on the spot and
available.
Scores Of new and np-to-date instru.
ments will be installed and the whole
Astoria system win be put on a par
with the best modern service in tht
state.
Everybody about the city Is glad Il
see Mr.. Burns and his men here on this
task. and perhaps the best satisfied o.
them all Is Manager Andy Brunold. oI
the local Office, himself.
