.Mount Scott Cahs Still OvuncnowDED.
The cars yesterday on the Mount Scot.t
branch of the O. W. P. were overcrowded
all day. At nearly every trip about one
half of the passengers were compelled to
T.emaln standing, packed in the aisles.
More than 100 were registered on some
of the trips in cars that can seat com
fortably only about 50 or 00 passengers.
It was demonstrated that double the
number of cars now operated on Sunday
could no more than hanutc the passengers
with safety and comfort. It was noticed
yesterday that on most of the trips the
front and r.ear platforms were pq crowd
ed that the moconnea at the. front end
were hampered for room. Last year thero
was complaint about the overcrowding of
these cars on this branch, but little re
lief was afforded, and now. with tho
opening of the summer travel, there Is n
largely increased travel with no addi
tional cars to take care of It. The peo
ple along the Mount Scott line are in
hopes that the new owners of the O.
W. P. will provide reasonaoly comfort
ble transportation facilities for this sec
tion. There arc about 8,000 people tribu
tary to this single-track line, and It Is
considered one of the best-paying
branches of the whole system.
To Assist Mrb. Mat McErvin. The
friends of Mrs. May McErvin, tho blind
widow who lost all her possessions In the
fire at the east end of Morrison bridge
several months ago, are endeavoring to
raise sufficient money to enable her to re
open a small rooming-house. Mrs. Mc
Ervin was severely Injured In the fire,
but has recovered so that she enn get
about. It is announced that about 5100
more Is needed to enable this heroic wom
an to become independent.
Falls Into Clackamas Riveii. Fred
Gllstrap, of Estacada, a few days ago
dropped from a precipice overhanging
the Clackamas River Into the water. The
accident happened at Saddle Rock, where
he had been picking flowers. Leaning too
far out, he lost his balance and plunged
downward Into the river. The water was
cold, but Gllstrap managed to swim out.
although he was carried down stream
some distances and was chilled when he
reached the shore.
Coxplstikg St. Johns Sawmill. The
new sawmill on the waterfront at St
Johns, which takes the place of the two
small mlfe which wero burned last year,
is nearing completion. It will be able to
cut 100.000 feet of lumber every day. which
is about double what was contemplated
In the first place. W. c. Francis, D.
Brecht and some other well-known saw
mill men are Interested In this enterprise.

eoo in bonds for the ereetlpa ot as addi
tion of fonr rooms to the present jscfeeel
building at the Jane election. It ba bees
hoped and expected that the district
would secure that amount of funds from
the James Johns estate, but that, is too
remote to be considered. The qeestlon of
building an addition or erecting a school
house further northward, also will be aa
Issue, but It seems that a majority of
the people wanted at least a l6-room
schoolhouse before the district builds
somewhere else. When the present bond
ing becomes a 15-room structure, then
they will be willing that another school
house be put up at the north end. It 'Is
held that it will cost less to operate a
large building than It will to have two
small ones. However, at the present rate
of growth in St. Johns, another school
house will have to be built at the north
side of the town in about two years In
any event, as sixteen rooms on the pres
ent site will be crowded.

Professor Ostwald's Theory Regard
ing Creation or Life.
PORTLAND. April 28. (To the Editor-!
It can be ald to the credit of The Orecon-
lan that Us columns have been comparatively
fieo from ensatlonallrm.
A recent article from The Orrronlan fell
iwfier my notlco purpotlnc to contain state
ment made by rrofcrsor Wllhrlm QotwaW,
of Lelpelc University, Germany, wherein he
Is quoted as aylnc that "eventually man will
artificially create not only the lower, but men
higher forms of life- as rata, dogs and
homes and 1 believe rxen man.'
Believing such a view to be detrimental to
the advance of true knowledge. I wit the
article In question to Protewor Oswald, and
his answer follows:

It Is not within my province to offer arsu
ments for or against the statements in tli
article referred to. hut tho chief reason for
this protest S that many of your readers
Rive credence to iuch stories, especially If
they appear in a reputable publication. In
view of the fact, as above stated, that many
ar credulous to a degree, and that another
daks are ever ready to ridicule, scientifically
demonstratod facts as vagaries, and prove
their position by false tatcment'. Professor

people about town generally were too
tired when evening came to go to the
theater. That accounts for the house
not being crowded at the reception of
the Pollards opening night. They play
and slpg all the week and everybody may
have a chance to hear them. They were
to begin an engagement In San Fran
cisco last night, but changed their plans
Jn consequence of the great earthquake.
In most respects the company Is as
good as It ever has been. From year to
year, as they return to us. some of the
famaliar faces have dropped out. and
some of the youngsters grow up and ap
pear differently to our eyes. Some arts
twice and thrlce-told tales and beloved
Tor that reason -And t.orne. who have
sung sweetly and charmed us hereto
fore :cc missed from the ranks. .
Teddy McXamara Is f-oxncwhal taller
than he was. but his talent for comedy
has kept pace with his growth. Olive
Pollard, a most angelic little creature,
has Increased her charm in spite of los
ing jomc of her extreme habjtch ways.
Merle Pollard is a new one who Is ten
derly elusive. Eva Pollard, who Is given
prominence In the cast. Is promising.
The twins. Johnny and Freddy Helntz.
arc Immensely amusing. They all enter
into the muslcal medley (their versions
of the.vs operas always have Interpela
tlons) Is ever spirited, frolicsome and en
tertaining. The novelty of watching
Australian tots of remarkable- attain
ments handle a pretentious score and in
tricate stage dialogue Is a never-falling
source of surprise to mr.
The company as a whole is made up
of precocious and wonderfully trained
children, and you get far more than you
expect. The fact that they have been
here so often, and that they are always
well received, should gratify the manage
ment and delight the children. T cannot
understand, however, what an Intelligent
guiding force of a show Is thinking about
when incomparably the most gifted mem
ber of the company la shoved Into th
background. Daphne Pollard, who Is
nothln? short of a genius In comedy and
comic opera, a little singe wonder of 31
years, with the magnetism and chic of
an Almee or a Paola Marie, unquestion
ably the star of the aggregation and the
best drawing card they have, was given
a role from which was cut nearly all
the fetching business and the songs also.
The people are fond of the Pollards,
and they want to ifccar them, even In
these many-times repeated operas, but
the majority of theater-goers go especial
ly to see and hear Daphne Pollard. When
they are denied what they so for they
are dissatisfied, feeling as If they had
not obtained what they sought. Not
that they like the company less, but
they very naturally like Daphne more.
A stranger last night would not have
known that so remarkable an actress as
Daphne was In the cast. She had no
chance to show her work. There Is no
excuse for such miscasting as that.
Hamlet is a good play. But It Is not
so good with Hamlet left out.
The Pollards presentation of all their
opera this week Is worth going to hear
and will entertain us. But It Is In tho
Interest of the public and truth-telling
that I register as appeal to the owners
of the show to give us & fair amount
of peeps at the Teal star of the organiza
tion. A. H. BALLARD.

Money Is Badly N'eeded lo Aid

In answer to a letter of Inquiry, F.
Berchtold. of Corvallls, grand master
of the Ancient Order of United Work
men of Oregon, has received a com
munication telling what the order has
done, and Is doing1, to aid the fire and
earthquake, sufferers of San Francisco.
The letter Is from C- H. Dunton. past
Krand master workman of the order In
California. It reads as follows:
"Dear Sir and Brother Tour ex
ceedingly kind and thoughtful favor of
April 20 Just received.
"I am not at present grand master
workman of the Jurisdiction of Cali
fornia; my two-year term of office ex
pired on April 12. Just six days before
the terrible disaster visited San Fran
cisco. The present grand master work
man Is W. H. Savage. Los Angeles.
California.
"I am located 160 miles from San
Francisco, but. wnt thcr Immediately
Mfier the earthquake and fire, as my
family are residents of the City of
Oakland. As soon as I found they were
nil right. I Immediately took up the
matter or relief for our brother "Work
men. Grand' Master Savage not being:
on the srround, I called a. meeting of
our brothers In Oakland and we estab
lished a headquarters and relief bu
reau at once, and I assure you we were
doing a magnificent work when I left,
Monday noon.
"It Is Impossible to describe to yon
the situation, other than to say that
San Francisco I practically a total
ruin, fully 75 per cent of the city being
destroyed.
I think It Is safo to ay we have
4000 homeless Workmen in the State
of California, and as. you well say. If
there ever was a time when a frater
nity had an opportunity to demon
strate Its worth. It Is at the present
time. The only thing: that you could
do for us would be to send to our relief
board a contribution of money. If you
possibly can. We'have plenty of food
and -we are succeeding In finding shel
ter for all. but there are cases where
a little money Is absolutely nccssary.
and jou understand we have none. Our
funds, were In tho Jlank of California
and 'nearly all subordinate ledge
funds were In banks throughout the
state, and there Is not. and will not
Toe a bank open Its doors In this State
inside of 30 days. So tbat you can
wll understand the financial situation.
-Wo have no difficulty In securing
free transportation for brothers who
havo any place outside of- the city, or
for that matter outside or tne state, to
to. Hut It is impossible to send fam
ilies away without a dollar, even It
they have their transportation, inere

money to our relief board, it would be

PERIL IN THE MILITARY
C. E. S. Wood Addresses People's
s
Foraw San Francisco's Lesson.
"Better San Francisco bad been looted
until Its citizens were aroused to de
mand lawful enforcement of honesty and
order than thai. through dependence upon
the military innocent blood should be
shed." declared Colonel C. E. S. Wood,
late U. S. A., before the People's Forum,
In Selllng-HIrsch hall last evening, in dis
cussing the subject. "The Military In Its
Relation to Human Progress."
"If reports are true that lives of Inno
cent citizens were wantonly taken by ir
responsible soldiery. It demonstrates
again that the people should not turn to
the military as Its refuge In time of trou-
ble. he continued. "It la a dangerous
tendency of the American people to. de
pend upon the military Instead of the
civil authorities for the maintenance of
order In times of .great stress.
Especially dangerous is the practice
of calling on the raw state militia in an
emergency. The state militiaman with a
rifle in his hand Is a menace to public
safety. He Is filled with a sense of Ir
responsible power, and Is not enough of
a soldier to respect his own superiors or
exercise self-control. The people of this
country do not realize, as do the English
people, the necessity of maintaining order
through their own local authorities rather
than to rely upon lawless military rule.'
in tne open discussion following Colonel
Wood's address his sentiments were
echoed. There was none who presented
any other side of the question.
?cxt Sunday evening "Equal Suffrage"
will be discussed before the Forum, the
Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw being the principal
speaker. Dr. Shaw has invited opponents
of suffrage to present either written or
oral objections at the meeting.
