mary examination of Robert Wilbur.
charged with the larceny Of $3.50 dol
lars from the room of one Harrison,
a floating acquaintance of a day was
held yesterday afternoon before Jus
tice P. j. Goodman, G. c. Fulton ap-
pearing 70 rthe defendant and Deputy
District Attorney representing the
State. The testimony was practically
circumstantial and very direct and
strong, and warranted the justice in
holding the defendant to the circuit
court In the sum of s450, for his ap.
pearance a such time as the upper
court shall demand his presence. In
this relation, the Astorian desires to
say that 1t regrets is error yesterday
morning In the use of the name Of
William Wilbur in this connection,
when it should have been the name of
Robert William Wilbur has no pos
sible connection with the case at bar.

Done In Circuit Court--Yesterday,
was one Of the quletest days Of the
term in the circuit court, the prin-
cipal order being made. was that Of
Judge Mcbride. granting a writ Of
habcas corpus In the case o. Robert
Wilbur a minor, brought by his best
friend, (and brother) Julius Wilbur.
The writ was asked for to get young
Wilbur from the custody Of the NUM-
cipal police, who hal him under arrest
upon a charge of larceny Of money
from one Harrison. and who declined
to permit him to be interviewed, un-
der instruction of Deputy District At
torney J. C. McCue. The party desir-
ing to interview him happened to be
G. C. Fulton, who had been retained
as young Wilbur's attorney, and 1t
was not expected by Mr.. McCue that
his directions would be quite so lit
orally obeyed as to exclude such a
caller; and there Is some little feel
ing abroad about the matter, but all
Is susceptible Of explanation, and the
writ will be argued tbis morning with
out reference 10 the misunderstand-
ing of yesterday.

A Magnificent Sisht--Late on the
night of Monday there was an unusu-
al ard brilliant spectacle from the
hills OF Astoria. Nothing less than a
clearly defined display of the Aurora
Borealis. The lines Of direction were
true, as the magnetic pole. in Boothia
land, bears from this city. and that was
N. Z. by K. The principal figures were
great white fans OF light radiating
from the perpendicular shaft of light;
the central, upright ray being distinc-
tly marked with vivid pink edges.
One great beam of light, pallid and
translucent, was particularly notice
able by reason Of the piercing bril-
liancy of star behind 1t. This was
reported to the office of the Astorian
but when reporter was sent out to
interview the northern lights, they
had apparently, gone out.

OF the intended coming to Astoria If

Seattle Railroad Company, who. with
a party of Northern Pacific officials,
will make a detailed inspection of this
line from Gohle to Seaside. They will
probably be through today, though
there is nothing patent to found any

given for what it is worth, along with
the other statement that the engine

Protest Against Assessnnent4-A com
munication to the city council signed by
A. B, Jones was filed at the City Audi
tors office. This Is protest against
the assessment Of the property owned
by Mr.. Jones, for a sewer on 37tn street
declaring that the sewer is from to
10 feet higher than his property and
therefore useless to the property. The
protest states tha his failure of his
appearance before the board of equal
ization was due to his ignorance of
the fact that his property was within
the assessed district

Changing Its Face-Five months ago
the view of the Washington shores
from the city front here, was con-
spicuous for the almost unbroken line
of verdant hills, unscarred by cliffs
or treeless spaces; and today it is
prominent for the long, frequent and
disfguring stretches of raw cliff-sides
wrought by the blasting for the new
railway lines of the /. R. & N. road.
The view is not one whit improved by

Clash Out On The Line-Parties
just in from the Jewell country and
westward of it, yesterday, announced
that there was a palpable clash be-
tween the surveying outfits of Nor
thern Pacific, "a. & c., and the Ly-
tie (Harriman) people out on the Ne
halem, on Monday last. The Harri-
man bunch left the field and made a
beeline for Clatskanie, and will pro-
badly go to headquarters for further
instruction. No one seems to know
the right or wrong of the uproar, but
that it was serious enough to be no.
ticeable goes without saying, and the
presumption is the A. G. c. force was
strictly in the right since the others
abandoned the line.

IS IT HIS CLOOR?

President Roosevelt in the heat of
passion declared that he intended to
appoint an Ohio colored Republican
Collector of Customs or Surveyor in
the Cleveland (Ohio) District, repre-
sented by Senator Foraker. The
President further said that he was
not opposed to the Negro on account
of his color. After he made this
declaration a howl came up from the
North which was universal, 20 the
effect that the appointment of Ne
gro collector would not only be OBJ
iectionable to Republicans, but to the
Democrats As we'll. The President
Immediately backed water and has de-
cided that he will not appoint a
Negro calIector in the Cleveland dis
trict, because such appointment would
be Objectionable to the good 90
white people of Ohio. Now if the
President is sincere and meant what
he said that he was not opposed to
the Negro on account of his color,
what difference would it make to him
if the white people of Ohio opposed
the appointment of a colored man /!
The Bee would suggest to the PreSl-
dent 10 cease making these fiimsy po-
licical breaks, because the colored vot-
er has fully made up his mind as to
what he intends to do, no matter
what the Administration does tor
him. 1t is not believed that the
people in the North are opposed to
the colored man, that is, all of them.
There are some good people in the
South among the friends of the col
ored man, and it IS quite evident
that the colored Americans are not
without friends. VIII the President

schools of this city are not in sympa-
thy with those who are continually
attacking the Board of Education
Judge Gould's decision meets the
hearty approval Of the citizens of this
city. 1t is true and it cannot be de-
MED that the members of the Board
of Education have been grossly mis-
represented. The decision of Justice
Gould will be sustained by the Court
of Appeals and The Bee states now
as it stated last week, that the defense
in this case IS committing grave blum
ders.
The attempt on the part of those
who are prejudiced cannot show one
element of color prejudice. The case
was decided or its merits which in
volved certain legal questions and
nothing more. The Bee congratu-
lates Assistant United States Attor-
ney Mcnamara. He made a strong
legal argument which could not be
overcome by the brilliant oratory of
the defense's counsel. The defense
might as well give up its attempt to
evade a trial, because the Board is
more determined than ever to COM
plete the investigation, no matter how
many courts to which the defense may
appeal. This decision should cool
the ardor of the defense at least.

BREATHES HIS LAST.
From the Arizona Republican.

From the Arizona Republican.
The death in this city yesterday OF
Mr.. William X. Baker, the pianist,
removed a young man who by his
genial manner and gentlemanly de
meanor had made for himself a large
circle of friends and acquaintance.
He came to Phoenix about a year
ago in the hope that the climate might
renew his failing health. and soon
after reaching here he disclosed his
splendid talent for music, culminat-
ing in an arrangement by which he
was given complete charge OF the mu-
sical part of the program of the Elks'
annual entertainment here last March.
The community we'll remembers how
splendidly the delicate young man
performed his part on that occasion.
Mr.. Baker was born in Columbus,
Miss, in April, 1874, and was edu-
Gated in the grammar schools of his
native town and in Indiana, and al
Howard University, in Washington,
d. c. He early disclosed a talent for
music. and the pursuit of this talent
became the master passion of his life.
While his speciality was piano play
ing. he also accomplished much in
the line of composition and transpo-
sition Of music, and the popular bal
lad Alma" sung for the first in
this city At the Elks' entertainment,
attests the cleverness of his skill as
a composer. His affable manner and
generous nature drew to him many
friends in this community who will
feel a genuine sorrow over his tax
ing off. The funeral services will
be conducted by Rev. James Wash
ington of the A. NJ. Z. Church, at
the parlor of Mr. Merryman'S under
taking establishment, ia West Ad-
ans Street, at two o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. after which the remains
will be taken by his family to Jefer-
sonville, Indiana, for interment in the
family burial lot
Shortly before his death his bro
ther, Henry E. Baker, of Washing
ton. an examiner of the Patent Of
fee, arrived in the city and was with
him to the end. Mr.. baker has been
connected with the Patent Office for
several years. In addition to his Of
fetal duties Mr.. Baker is engaged in
the preparation of a work setting
forth the accomplishments of the col
ored inventors of the nited States.
