WENT TO THE DUTCH.
Diplomat With Two Invitations
Gets President to Decide.

NEW YORK, Jan. p. - John
Keer Louden, the Minister Of The
Netherlands to this country, was
one Of the principal speakers last
night at the annual dinner Of the
Holland Society at the Waldorf
Astoria at which more than 400 de-
scendants Of the early Dutch set
tiers OF New York assembled, Mr..
Loudon said he was able to be pres
ent at the dinner only through an
incident typical Of President Roose-
welt, Explaining this he said that
being a diplomat he had been in
vited to attend a function at the
White House last night an invita-
zion which he could hardly refuse
without embarrassment. In his
predicament he went to the Presi-
dent and explained the situation
said the President struck one hand
with his fist and replied;
"A dinner OF the Holland Society
by all means 60"

TILLAMOOK' DEBATERS
HAVE ARRIVED
ARE TO CONTEST WITH THE
TEAM FROM THE ASTORIA
HIGH SCHOOL,

The Tillamook High School debat-
ing team, consisting OF Eliza Dawson.
Helen Biby and Nellie Hammenkratt,
arrived in Astoria yesterday after
noon on the Sue II. Elmore and i'm
mediately went to the Occident
hotel after their trip up the coast.
Accompanying the three debaters
were Mrs. H. I. Bowles and Mrs.
Hammenkratt.
The arrival OF the Tillamook de-
baters yesterday was perhaps in the
nature OF a slight surprise to the
school authorities here, as il was
their understanding that no definite
time had been set for the debate, and
it is also said that the Astoria de-
baters are hardly prepared. The de-
bate between the two schools was or
iginally set for the night Of January
20, last Wednesday night, but it ap-
peared that neither side was ready for
that date and by consent II was post
poned, it being understood here that
it would occur about a week later.
But this slight misunderstanding will
doubtless be easily gotten around by
the local debaters, and the visitors
will be made very welcome.
The subject for debate Is the ques-
ton Of municipal ownership of public
utilities, and Astoria takes the affirma-
tive side. Today definite plans viii
be made for the debate, which is
likely to be held in Logan hall, and
probably there win be a number Of
the students ou selling tickets for
the debate among citizens. The con-
test is sure to be keen and highly in
teresting one, and as matter of local
pride Astorians will probably pack
the hall the night of the debate.
Next week occur the examinations
for the FIRST semester, so that the de-
bate does not come at exactly the
right time for the participants.
The visitors come as the guests Of
the local high school body. and they
will be domiciled at Mrs. Carnahans
on Franklin avenue.

ADJUSTMENTS
ARCHIE BOYD
Eminent Actor Accused of Being I
Horse Thief.

Archie Boyd, the eminent character
actor, who will appear at the Astoria
Theatre tonight, is an extremist on
the subject Of atmosphere" and af-
ter concluding negotiations in June
last with the Chas. A. Miller (Inc. J
Company to star him in Shore Acres,
Mr.. Boyd started for the coast Of
Maine, with the intention of passing
the summer among the natives, be-
coming one of them, and had some
very odd experiences, one Of which,
the following, he tells on himself.
! When he first arrived in the little
town Of Bluehill, Maine, the inquisi-
tive town constable tried in every way
possible to find out his business, and,
failing in this, the rural Sherlock
Holmes, produced a photograph and
showed it to Mr.. Boyd.
"What you got to say bout this,
eh?" he remarked, trying hard to sup
press his glee.
Mr. Boyd looked at the picture and
was greatly astonished to see that it
possessed very good resemblance to
himself, and then read the notice un-
I
der it, setting forth a reward, and
meagre description of the original of
the likeness, who was wanted for
horse stealing.
IF yer holler I'll handcuff yer" said
the constable, producing a pair of
bracelets Of the vintage Of the year
one.
Mr.. Boyd questioned the fellows
authority and started discussion
with him in which the countryman
tried in every way to convince the ac-
tor that he was a bona fde constable,
and he finally got Mr.. Boyd to go to
the hotel, while he went to get the
postmaster and few other notables
Of the village to come and prove to
Mr.. Boyd that he was a genuine Off
Ger Of the law. In short while
the Jealous protector returned with
his living proof and thereupon Mr..
Boyd was practically tried before the
leading citizens as to whether he was
or was not horse thief. After much
logic and legal acumen being exhaust
ed il was decided that the man in the
pieture-which was a bust portrait
was taller man than the eminent
actor and he was exonerated from
The charge by the learned posse.

Victory
compton, 4; oxy. 8

Yesterday afternoon on the Oxy field
the Occidental ball tossers again tasted
defeat, this time at the hands of the
Compton high school team. However
the collegians put up high class ball,
and with luck in their favor and lit
tie action on bases would have won
out. The Occidental men gathered in
eleven bingles to their opponents three,
and yet two bad innings scored the
four runs that defeated them.
In the seventh inning Occidental had
put three runs across the pan and the
bases were filed with nobody down,
when Johnson hit into double play
and spoiled all chances of the varsity
winning.
Preston pitched a good game for the
Collegians, holding the high school
team down to three hits, all OF which
were in one inning. For Compton,
Priddy pitched steady ball, and al
though touched up for good many
hits was strong at critical times.
Thomas, Baer Wieman and Bishop were
all there with the big stick, and Sweet
got a triple in the second inning that
brought home Wieman.

The McGarvey brothers, two fisher
men from Oceanside, appeared before
the Southern California Rod and Reel
club at their regular monthly meeting
in Burbank hall last night, asking
the club to assist them by buying
some of their fishing paraphernalia.
They claimed that the operation of
the new fish and game laws would put
them out of business. The club, not
wishing to go on record or establish a
precedent by buying their outfit, took
up collection for the STRANDED follow
ers of Izaak Walton.
The collection netted $22 and was
presented to the fisherman brothers.
It was decided to hold the next fly
casting tournament at Playa Del Ray
Nav Is. 1t was also decided to start
the fishing tournament May /. An In
vitation was received from Abbot Kim
ney of Venice to hold the fiy-casting
tournament at the beach city, but as
Playa del Ray had been decided upon
previously, the invitation was not ac-
cepted, but In all probability will meet
at Venice during the June tournament.
The matter of single and double
hand casting brought forth a heated
discussion, owing to the fact that the
New York fishing opponents mad ADOPT
ed the double hand system. AS the
Angelenes have abided by the single
hand system, the matter was referred
to a standing committee to report back
to the national committee at New
York, the latter committee being given
full power to act.
The club house committee was grant
ed another month of grace in which to
procure a suitable site for a club

standing that he did not train until tne
