SHERIFF PONEROY
GETS TORVA
MAN WANTED IN WALQUIST
CASE is FOUND IN LOGGING
CAMP NEAR SEASIDE.

Joe Torva, the man wanted in con-
nection with the assault on Matt
Walquist last Sunday morning, was
arrested by Sheriff Pomeroy in log
ging camp about four miles out from
Seaside yesterday afternoon. Acting
upon suspicion that Torva was in
hiding somewhere in that part of the
county, the sheriff went to Seaside
yesterday morning and began an ac-
tive search for the missing man. No
trace at first could be found of
Torva, but in the afternoon it was
learned that man answering his de-
scription had hired out at one of the
camps only day or two ago. Sher-
iff Pomeroy went out to the camp,
but because he had never seen Torva
and had only meagre description OF
the man wanted, was slow about max
ing the arrest. He found the new
man and saw at glance that he
answered the description, but the fell
low claimed that his name was Matt
son and not Torva. The name OF
Mattson at once strengthened the
sheritf's suspicious, because it was
over woman of that name that the
bloody row OF Sunday morning is
supposed to have occurred. After
further parley, the man finally admit
ted that his name is Torva Sheriff
Pomeroy took him to the train and
landed him in Jail here last night
Walquist, the man who was stab
bed and cut, is not seriously hurt and
is in the city Jail but at first it looked
as if his injuries might prove fatal,
and there seems little doubt that his
assailants thought they had killed
him.
The two men first arrested in con-
nection with the affair insisted to
Sheriff Pomeroy that it was Torva
and noNthey who had used the knife
on Walquist, The authorities have
had much difficulty in former cases
of this nature. Usually the men prove
clannish and refuse to talk or to bear
witness against each other, with the
result that the authorities have been
unable to see that the law was up
held Tired of such tactics on the
part Of certain ones among the local
foreign population, an effort will now
be made to see that the man who
should be the prosecuting witness in
this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES gives the
testimony that he should, or. else
steps may be taken to punish him for
aiding in the compounding of fel-
ony, or on some other charge that
may be made to hold against him.
The Mattson woman, near whose
place the fracas occurred, was arrest
ed Wednesday night upon charge Of
disorderly conduct and sentenced to
10 days in the city jail.

her. She was taken up to Bremerton
and since then has not been out of
the waters Of the Sound until now,
when Lieutenant Client brought her
down to Astoria. He says she acts
like a good sea-going boat.
The sailors on the Rowan and
Goldsboough were paid off just be-
for eleaving Bremerton and didn't
have much of a chance to spend their
money there, and it is probable that
when they leave here tomorrow they
will be sighing for next pay day to

MAY REDUCE EXPENSES.
Railroads Contemplate General Re,
ductiOn I'm Wages.

While there is no present intention on
the part of the railroads of the United
States generally to reduce the wages OF
their employees. the fear is expressed by
government officials familiar with con-
ditions in the world of transportation
that If the existing depression in com
merce and trade continues. railroads and
all other business enterprises will be
forced 20 retrench.
This will mean. Of course. reduction in
wages. as well as curtailment OF expendi-
lures in other directions
A few years ago the railroads of the
country were prosperous. They were un-
able, in fact 10 handle all the traffic
offered to them for transportation. Last
winter there was a car famine due TO
the inability Of the railroads TO meet the
demands Of shippers.
Up TO the time Of the financial furry in
the fall the railroads were still prosper
Gus. although there was a falling off in
net earnings Recent reports received
here indicate that the business of the
railroads has slackened perceptibly in the
last few months
At a recent hearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, for example.
81 was brought out that in the month OF
January one of the big systems in the
East had not made enough to pay its
fixed charges.

"a LIVE MAN IN A HEARSE. .
Parable Used in Illustration of Ser
mon by Rev. T.. Hez SVEN.

"A live man in a hearse" was the
parable chosen by Rev. Z. Hez SVEN
pastor Of the Second Baptist Church, last
night TO illustrate his sermon on "Out
through the only way"
Mr.. Sven told the story Of a New Eng
land preacher who rode home in a hearse
after conducting the burial rites over a
dear friend.
The weather was bitterly cold, and the
buggy in which the preacher drove TO the
funeral was without protection from the
elements To drive home in his carriage
would be TO freeze TO death.
The preacher chose the novel method of
escaping from his dilemma by riding home
in the hearse. His act caused much com
ment. and he was openly derided He
had but one course through which tc
escape He chose that way without hesi-
tation.
When you are surrounded by sin and
vice ard know not how to escape said
Rev. Mr.. Sven, there is always one
way left open 70 you. Ask the Lord for
help, and He will give it to you

GIVES PRACTICAL ADVICE.
Representative Bennet Talks I,
Poor Men of Capital.

Representative William S. Bennett, of
New York, made an address last night
at the Central Union Mission to num-
Der Of the homeless men Of Washington.
He talked briefly on a Biblical text. and
gave the men practical advice, based
on what he had seen in great cities Of
this country and in the Old World
Never give up" he said, although
you feel you have not a friend in the
world. There is place for every man
on this broad big earth OF ours, and
you must find that place. You may grow
weary and tired, and think yours is the
hardest lot of any, but be brave and
keep at r. Your efforts viii be re-
warded es surely as the sun shines No
man who really, deep down in his heart,
tries to find his place or get happiness
out Of life has failed entirely Some may
have harder times than others, but in
nearly every case you viii find il is the
fault of the man himself"
