GRAND JURY MUST Be
CALLED BY JUDGE
YET THERE SEEMS LITTLE no
PRESENT FOR coNsIDERA-
TION, IT is SAID

z
ln accordance with the new law,
one o. The frst acts Of Judge Mcbride
after cpcPing the September term OF
,lie cireuii court tomorrow will be
to make the drawing for grand
jury
The calling Of grand jury is i'm
'pcratiye under the new law, but
whether there viii be must 10 pre-
sent for its consideration Is not yet
known
There viii be few minor criminal
cases for its members to consider, and
As the matter II understood ii Is ike
ly the fisheries cases will also 90 be-
fore the jury.
AS far as Is known there is no
movement in the city to call the at
tention Of any particular thing to the
grand jury, unless the same man who
wrote the anonymous letter to the
county court steps forward and does
some talking on his own account.
This anonymous contribution simply
stated that the accounts OF the county
caurt would b placed before the
grand jury, though this matter seems
to be more or less Of Joke While
the court is supposed to open tomor-
row morning il is prbable that it will
be afternoon before Judge Mcbride
Is prepared 10 commence proceed
ings, He is expected to arrive on the
noon train tomorrow
After the drawing for "a grand jury
the Judge will appoint a foreman and
win give hisinstructions.
While it is known that there is
some gambling going on in Astoria,
and that there is an almost open vio-
lation OF the Sunday closing law. yet
unless interested persons make de-
mand for an investigation it is hardly
probable that one will be made, it is
said.
AS long as the laws are enforced
in reasonably strict way the ma
jority Of the people seem to be fairly
we'll satisfied.

being eight or nine encores during
the evening. Miss Ester Sundquist,
the Astoria young lady whose beau
tiful renderings on the violin have
already attracted attention, gave sew
eral violin selections during the con-
cert Mile, Westerlinds voice was
pronounced splendid. Mrs. Charles

terlind and added additional laurels

have been held the coming saturday. The
statement is enscribed "A word to the

MY beloved brethren: When l asked

bers' meeting the purpose of my request
was sacred. 1t was to turn your sense
Of worship from the material to the spir-
itual, the personal 10 the impersonal, the
denominational to the doctrinal, yea
from the human to the Divine.
Already you have advanced from the
audible to the inaudible prayers. from
the material to the spiritual communion.
from drugs to Deity; and you have been
richly recompensed. Rejoice and be ex-
ceedinS glad. for doth the Divine doth

ing before the committee were lHoee
for elegates-at-large and IN the 3D.
4th and 5th Districts OF Okianoma.
The committee decided that the pro-
visions of the national call had not
been complied with in the 4th district
and consequently there could be no
proper contests The Taft delegates
were allowed therefore to retain their
seats.
The contests for delegates-at-large
in the Two remaining districts were
corroborated but before the arguments
commenced. Major c. F. Bryan, gen
eral counsel for the anti-Taft delega-
lions, announced that in his opinion he
did not possess good case, ana he
wished therefore to withdraw the con-
tests in the Sd and 5th Districts. A
round of applause greeted this an
aouncement from Major Bryan and he
remarked with a laugh that it was the
nrst applause he had gained from the
committee since the convention COM
menced. rY-.
Sig delegates having reported rs repre-
sentatiyes of New Mexico, the committee
found some difficulty in disposing of them
in view of the decision to give the terri
tory only two seats. 1t was finally de-
cided to place the responsibility of set
Ting the case on Solomon Luna, national
| committeeman from New Mexico, as all
of the six members of the delegation APP
rarently had equal claim on the two
seats. Mr.. Luna is to consult with the
delegation which is now in the city and
the members are to draw to this or settle
the contest in any way just as soon as
a conclusion is reached by Monday
With the disposal of the New Mexico
case the work of the full committee in
making the temporary roll of the Conven-
ton was concluded At $50 the committee
adjourned.
