LATEST IN
MOVING PICTURES
What the Jewel Theatre is Do.
ing to Amuse the Public

For the last two weeks Manager
Newman OF the Jewel theater has
been giving the public four absolute
changes each week thus affording a
variety Of moving picture scenes UNI
equalled by any other theater on the
coast This means that there are
eight new films brought to the Jewel
each week OF the very best make. In
order to satisfy the desire Of the pub
lie these changes have been somewhat
difficult to secure inasmuch as the
demand has been so popular that the
film manufacturers have not been
able to supply more than lo new sub
jects each week while the theaters
in Astoria alone use as many as 28
films. This causes a duplication of
pictures occasionally, but II those
seeking amusement will come to the
Jewel they will also find the new
things on exhibition first. That there
will be no mistake about it, a large
program is displayed daily in the
lobby Of the theater for which one
can see at a glance just what Is being
shown inside. We want everybody in
Astoria to know that the Jewel ia
conducted on broad lines furnishing
good wholesome amusement to old
and young; right up to the minute
with its pictures and songs with the
assurance Of courteous treatment ev.
Try time you enter its doors. Look
or the new program tonight, then
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
light. Considering the high class pic
ures and the low price Of admission
here is no better place in the city
o spend an hour Of enjoyment.

EXPERTS REPORT.

To the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council, City of Astoria, Or
In accordance with Instructions
from the Honorable Ways and Means
Committee we have checked over the
receipts and disbursements of the
Chief OF Police, the City Treasurer
and the Auditor and Police Judge,

The books Of the Chief of Police
and the City Treasurer were found to
be correct. The accounts Of the Au-
ditor and Police Judge, with the ex-
ception Of two clerical errors amount
ing to $l20, are also correct. A re-
ceipt bearing later date shows the
auditor has since corrected these er-
rors, he having paid the amount to
the City Treasurer.

MAYORLESS CITY HAS A
QUANDRY INDEED
LOS ANGELES IN A FURoR OF
POLITICAL DOUBT OVER
HER MAYoRALTY.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March Is
The city council is in session today
for the purpose OF selecting a success.
sor to former Mayor Harper who re-
signed on Thursday night of last
week, facing an election for his re-.
call, the first election OF the kind ever
called in any American city for the
recall Of a mayor. Since his resigna-
ton was accepted on the following
morning by the council, the city has
been without mayor
The session OF the council today
now threatens to become a stormy
one before the selection Of a success.
sor is made. Feeling Is very bitter
and question has been raised for
which there is no precedent and on
which the leading attorneys OF the
city are opposed When Il was con-.
vened this morning at 10 o'clock the
report had gone out that there would
be deadlock on the question OF
whether the man named today shall
serve for the remainder Of Harper's
term or only until the recall election
can be held and a successor elected.
A dark horse" chosen this morn.
ing by caucus of Republican mem
bers of the council may be the next
mayor Of Los Angeles. At the same
time the friends Of George A, Smith,
a former councilman who was origin
ally preferred by majority OF the
council, say his election is probable
But no one pretends to be sure what
the actual outcome OF todays meeting
will be. The situation Is up in the
air.
Late last night the situation was
further confused by the positive
statement OF one councilman that the
members who were favorable to a
compromise had agreed on William
D. Stephens providing he would ac-
cept the election for whatever period
the city attorney held was the stated
term. Stephens declined to become
the recall candidate against Harper.
The only names used in the talk OF
new men last night were DR.. Walter
Eindley, Lee c. Gates, w. NJ. Bowen,
former president Of the council. II
was announced that Gates would not !
accept the electicn and Stephens did
not give an answer whether he would .
Or not. The decision of City At.
.orney Hewitt was unknown to the
'ouncilmen last night. Mr. Hewitt
gave out his Interpretation of the
:harter on the vacancy question. His
opinion is that the recall election
nuts be proceeded with; that mayor
hosen by the council will hold Office
'nly until after this at election and
lot until the end Of the "unexpired
erm" He maintains that the "un-
xpired term" in this case expires
With the recall election and not at the
nd of the legal term.
