SPEAKING OF HoTELSl.

One Of the notable, in fact, glaring
delinquencies besetting Astoria, is the
absence of a first-class, modern hotel;
there is nothing in her business align
ment that is so broadly missed and
commented on; and so general and
uncomplimentary has the passing
criticism on this score become, that
Astorians are beginning to ask peril
nent questions about the plans and
purposes OF the Weinhard Estate
with regard to the site it controls
here and has primarily improved for
hotel equipment of this sort. Inquiry
at headquarters elicits the vague and
poor comfort that "the plans are be-
ing prepared and that as soon as they
are submitted and approved, the work
will go forward" This is the sub
stance OF our prospect in this line,
save, 10 course, that the fine site at
Twelfth and Duane streets has been
with fine foundations and
filled to the proposed cement base
ment floor.
1t is conceded always that there are
good business reasons for DELAY in
such an enterprise as this; but those
reasons ought to be made manifest to
a curious public, that in default Of
them construes the delay as indiffer-
ence and neglect 1t may be there is
a shortage Of money, but this is not
an acceptable theory here, where the
wealth and financial prestige OF the
great estate is a matter of common
knowledge and appreciation; what
ever the cause for delay, we hope it
may be soon obviated and that some
thing will be done to demonstrate
that another season is not to pass
with this rank deprivation hanging
over this community. The projectors
Of this fine improvement certainly
have their rights, but the people also
have rights and interests that are not
wholly negligible.

Astoria; as the second city in Oregon
and the most patient as well, might

Commerce, in this regard, leaves the
paper no alternative but to get
squarely behind the movement for an

GOES BACK To JAIL
Escaped Prisoner Converted by
Salvation Army
He FACES FOURTEEN YEARS
William MeCarty Broke His Parole
Several Years Ago and Now His
Conversion" Leads Him Back TO
the Penitentiary in Indiana.

| CHICAGO, July l4-Wm. Nc
Carly, 40 years old, is going back tc
Indiana State penitentiary at Michi
Igan City Unless his sentence is com
lmuted by legislative action or
pardon, IA years will pass before he
lis again free man. Yet no officer
Iof the law accompanied him on his
trip across the state line yesterday
and the railroad ticket on which he
came from North Yakima to serve
ont his sentence was bought out OF
his own earnings. McCarty was
converted" recently at Salvation
Army meeting in North Yakima, be-
came convinced that it was his duty
to return to the prison from which
he had escaped when on parole and
set to work earning money for his
passage.
Several years ago, he had gambled
away his money one evening in Mont.
pelier, Ind. Then he became intox-
Iicated, broke into store and stole
$500 worth OF surgical instruments
which he sold later for $3.50. He
was caught and sentenced to from
one to fifteen years hard labor in the
Indiana state penitentiary.
After serving two years he was
paroled and given a job on an ice
wagon. For weeks he did his work
well, then he became intoxicated
again and hit a man over the head
in street fight This, he was told,
would end his parole and he fed from
the state month afterward After
serving half dozen Jail sentences
and living like tramp. he drifted
into North Yakima, began attending
Salvation Army meetings and after
time he joined the army
Soon after his conversion Nc
Carty's conscience began to trouble
him. Early in June he wrote to Gov
ernor Honley OF Indiana telling him
Of the circumstances OF his escape |
from the state and OF his intention to
return and serve out his sentence.
go ahead, wrote Governor Han
ley, in reply. your broken parole
will mean a sentence OF IA years, but
you have made me a promise. Now
ulfill it."
There was no word of a pardon or
l mitigated sentence. Within a few
weeks McCarty had earned enough
money to pay for the long trip to
Michigan City and last Wednesday he
started. He reached Chicago yester-
lay, had long talk with Colonel
French, territorial secretary Of the
Salvation Army in Chicago, and then
vent on to Michigan City.
