Very few applications arc boinp; received by the Civil Service Commission from men desiring: to take the examination for ap pointment on the Portland police force. An examination was called some time ko to bo held three days, commencing November 29, but up to this time only live applications have born received. As there are now 11 vacancies for the posi tion of patrolman, the securing of offi cers presents rather a serious problem to the commission. The difficulty in get ting men is believed to lie chiefly in the comparatively low salary now paid. As wages have risen in nearly all lines of work, there aro not only fewer applicants than during former years, but as a class the men who apply are loss competent. It Is expected that the salary of patrol men will be raised at the first of the year, as this Is looked upon as the only solution of the problem. Another rea son for the scarcity of applications at present Is probably found in the result of the last examination, when only one out of 49 applicants succeeded in qualify ing for appointment. Two new officers have just been appointed. They are Iouglas Ieisy and G. Howell. I.eisy Is a barber and has been In Port land seven years: Howell has been here six years and has been employed by the streetcar company. Both men reported last night at 8 o'clock for duty, and will assist Captain of Ietectlves Bruin for a week, after which time they will be given beats. Makes 8000 in Four Months. A hn!f block on the south side of Irving street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, was sold yesterday by Dr. C. AV. Cornelius for JSO.ofrt). The purchaser was Dr. R. C. Yenney, who last week sold a lot on Park street for 120,000: Dr. Cornelius purchased the half-block in August from the 'SValiem.an-Morse Transfer Company for $22,000, thus clearing tSOOO on his in vestment In four months. As the prop erty lies In a neighborhood which is rapidly being Improved with warehouses. It Is probable that it will soon become the site of a substantial building. The purchase of the Knox-Abrams tract was yesterday completed and placed on record at the nominal consideration of S1. The actual consideration was $110. 000. The tract Is transferred to II. Wemme, by whom it is given over to the Overlook Land Company, of which the members aro Mr. Wemme, II. R. Kincald, A. M. Moores. G. Swensson. A. F. -Swensson and 11. W. Joseph. There are S3 acres in the holding, which fire now being platted to be placed on the market. Catholic Cutis Incorporated. The Cathulic Young Men's Club of St. Mary's Church' Parish of Alblna 'has filed arti- . cleg of Incorporation as a benevolent or ganization, and the next step will now he to place the bonds. At ah enthusiastic meeting of the club Sunday afternoon It was reported that J1500 of the bond issue had already heen subscribed without solicitation. These subscriptions are widely distributed. P. K. Sullivan, presi dent of the club, said yesterday that an active canvass among the memhors of the parish will now be undertaken. No work toward the erection of the club house will be started until at least $5000 of the bonds have been taken. It is hoped to reach this amount this month. The club has on hand plans for the pro posed building, but has made no sclee- ' tion as yet. A meeting of members will he held Tuesday evening, November 20, on Williams avenue and Russell street, when notes of progress will be compared. Petitioners See Mayor. A delegation of property owners of Woodstock called upon Mayor I!ane yesterday to consult him In regard to the Initiation of pro ceedings for the improvement of Gar field avenue from Kast Twenty-sixth street to the city limits. They were, re ferred to members of the Council, who will at once be importuned to tile a reso lution for this improvement. Gladstone avenue is at present an 80-foot street, but this portion Is not improved. It Is proposed to narrow the thoroughfare to 60 feet and then place It in first-class condition. There is at present a single track carllne on this avenue leading to Woodstock, but the residents are anxious to have it changed to double track. If the street is narrowed, the water pipe will lie in the strip outsido the thor oughfare and will have to be moved in. Judge Wolvbrtov Opens Court. No conference was hold yesterday between X'nlted States District Judge C. K. Wolverton. I'nited States Circuit Judge Gilbert and United States District Attor ney Bristol. Judge Wolverton opened his court, which had been closed for a month past because of Judge Wolverton's absence in San Francisco. Only routine matters were taken up. On motion of Charles J. Schnabelt Charles V. Gallo way, A. M. Cannon and J. D. Hosford were admitted to practice before the Federal Court. United States Attorney Bristol will hold a consultation with Judge Wolverton and Judge Gilbert per- hapB today. At this conference will ba setlted the court calenders for the De cember terms of court. The date for calling the new Federal grand jury will elso be settled. . Viewers Fix Damages. Viewers in the matter of the proposed widening of Seventh street filed their report yester day with tho City Auditor, placing the damages at $7206. For this Improvement it is contemplated to condemn for street rmrpunscs 375 square .feet of the west end of lot 8, block 81, of the City of. Port land, and 375 square feet of lot R, block M. of Couch s addition. The Corbett es tate, owner of the first property, is. to be paid $3.0. and toward S. Rothchiid and Clara Coufman, owner of the outer, tMX. The improvement Is to do away with a narrow curve in Seventh street at the Intersection with Pine and Kurn side streets. The viewers were J. P. Menefee, Samuel M. Barr and John Kelly. Arrested on Rorbert Charge. John Conoway. a man with a police record was arrested by Detective llellyer Sun day morning at a rooming house on Fourth street lor robbing Ij. w. H:sh lann, a second-hand hook dealer of Yam hill street, last Saturday night. A saloon keeper 'saw Conoway trying to steal a gold watch from- Highland and ordered the fellow to desist. Later Highland was taken by Conoway to a lodging house and robbed of $2.2T. and a gold watch and chain, and afterwards thrown down stairs. More Houses are Needed. More small dwellings are needed in Sellwood to hotise the skilled workmen of the woolen mills, which will start operation in about three weeks. There has been a building boom in this suburb, but in spite of this houses for rent are not easily found. It is said that between 25 and oO houses will , be needed for the mill people, most of whom will De Skilled workmen with fam ilies. In Behalf or First Street. An ad journed meeting of the First Street Im provement Association was held yester day evening at the Chamber of Com merce and 15 property holders on First street were present. Dr. George Strow bridge presided and a committee was named on constitution and bylaws. The association proposes to force the cUy to make good the guarantee of the pave ment on First street from Stark to Madi son. The street was paved in 1903 and a guarantee was given by the city that the street would be kept In good condi tion for fen years. Another movement is on foot for the improvement of First street from Stark to Burnside, but the kind of pavement has not been decided on. It is proposed to bring all property owners along First street in the associa tion and try to make the street one of the best in Portland. Another meeting will be held In the Chamber of Com merce next Monday night. Entitled to 200 Delegates. Secretary Glltner. of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday received a letter from Secre tary J. F. Ellison, of the Rivers and Har bors Congress, which stated that the Chamber is entitled to send 200 delegates to the next meeting of the congress. The Chamber of Commerce contributed $1000 to the fund raised by the congress, which was $910 more than was expected. Delegates are allotted in accordance to the amounts subscribed. In giving money to assist the movement which has for its aim larger appropriations from Congress for the improvement of the rivers and harbors the commercial bodies or. tne country were supposed to contribute ac cording to the size o? their membership. Only $90 was expected from the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and when the large subscription of $1000 was received bv the officers of the Rivers and Har bors Congress it created much . favor able comment. Shocked bt Live Wire. Guy Black wood, aged 35, a fireman on the steamer Dalles City, was seriously shocked by a live wire at the Alder-street dock last night at 6:45 o'clock. Acting Detective Price went to the dock and called the patrol wagon, the injured man being taken to the Good Samaritan hospital, He will recover. Blackwood's home is at Washougal. He was repairing the con nections on the wires which supply tne current for the dock lights jind was standing on a brass plate when the- cur rent suddenly came on and he was thrown from the -dock to the deck of a boat, several feet below. He was picked up unconscious and carried to a nearby office. After a few moments Blackwood recovered slightly and became delirious. It required the combined strength of seven men to hold him while the patrol wagon was on the way to remove him to the hospital. Runaway Bots Caught. Three boys. each aged 15 years, were taken in charge by tho police at 6 o'clock last night. They admitted having run away from good homes In Seattle. The youngsters gave the' names of Ted McGrath, whose father is dead; George Graham, Srn of Fred Graham, a traveling agent for a soda fountain concern of Seattle, and Sam Gorman, of 732 Fifteenth avenue, Seattle. The boys had $1.20 in all, and told the officers that they had come here looking for work. Not finding it, they had determined to go on to California, where they were going to try picking oranges and lemons. The runaways have been in Portland since Saturday, and have been living as best they could. They were sent by the police to the Boys and Girls' Aid Society, and an effort will be made to return them to their parents. Satb People Favor Wide Street. H. B. Dickinson, of Montavilla, member of the committee appointed to prepare a resolution for an 80-foot street from the west side of the Ladd farm to the city llmits, said yesterday that as far as he had learned the people are in favor of such a street. They did oppose a wide street at one time and signed a remon strance against it, says Mr. Dickinson. Since the Ladd estate has consented to open a wide street through its farm the situation beyond the farm Is changed. There will be some houses to move back and some damages to provide for, but the length of the street opened will be over two and a half miles, so that, the assessments will be light. Destroying Landmarks. The buildings on the southeast corner of East Morri son street and Union avenue are being torn down to make room for the modern brick structure to cover that quarter for W. H. Markell, who recently purchased the property. These frame buildings were among the oldest in East Portland. Work on a concrete foundation will be started as soon as the ground has been cleared. Another quarter block, on the northeast corner of East Morrison and Third streets has just been sold by Joseph Buchtel. The conditions are not yet made public, but the consideration was nearly $30,000. The new owner will put up a building. Elks Will Hold Social. The regular monthly stag social of the local lodge of KIks will be held Thursday night in the clui rooms at Seventh and Stark streets. A number of entertainers have been se cured from the local theaters, and mem bers of the lodge will also appear on the programme. Gammans and Malarket, E. B. Sea brook and John A.

Ada Levick John Burkett Ryder Paul Everton Maid Lillian Buckingham CHARLES KLEIN, who wrote "The Lion and the Mouse," didn't mention "no names," but in a wonderful piece of dramatic literature he must have given some certain gentlemen in this country more than one bad quarter of an hour. He has painted a remarkable portrait of the American money baron and used the positive colors in doing it. Maybe he meant John D. Rockefeller, or Pierpont Morgan, or Ryan, probably his John Burkett Ryder is a composite picture of them all and a number of others whom the grand juries may get some day. It doesn't matter. He has given us a colos sal figure which represents an influence in American life today a stage character that is likely to live. He was wise enough not to write for a star: starring vehicles are usually lopsided affairs, one big one. and a number of cogwheels. Klem's play Is a broad drama of life that encompasses enough to require more than one actor. It is not difficult to discover why Klein's play has been so successful. The secret is timeliness. He strikes the iron while It is sizzling hot. The people are thinking out this problem of the domina tion of money for themselves, and natur ally when an honest, well-equipped play wright discusses the subject they are eager to hear him. "The Lion and the Mouse" came to the Heilig last night, newest thing In the theatrical line that we have had this season and one of the best in any sea son. While none of those whose names appear In the cast are widely famed, the company is high class In every respect and such elegance In the matter -of pro luctlon is selsom seen "on the road." Interest In the piece has been consider able here since it set New York a-talking some months ago. Theatergoers have had a well-defined eagerness to see what it was like, and those who crowded the1 house to its capacity last night "were, al most without exception, as I believe, well justured in their hopes. The story is of a. financier, the richest and most powerful inv the world, who rules with the arrogance of an Oriental satrap and has never yet met defeat. In John Burkett Ryder we have the "Lion." Shirley Rossmore, a brilliant young woman, daughter of a Judge whom Ryder has forced from the bench and ruined, comes into his life by reason of her love for the Lion's son and her desire to clear her father's good name. In her we have the Mouse, who in the end prevails against her masterful opponent. It is too pretty a story to spoil through a clumsy telling, but it comprehends high finance. National politics and the primitive pas sionsgreed, hatred, love. It is remarkably dramatic, but avoids the theatrical, and for that and other rea sons that have been indicated, is a great play one which people who like the stage at its best should not fail to see. The interest is, naturally, centered in the Lion and the Mouse, two wonderfully well-drawn characters. Paul Everton in the former role is guilty of but two minor sins against his art. In one or two situa tions, notably In the second and third acts, he cheapens his work by rolling his eyes and shouting. John Ryder, in the flesh, doesn't do either, and the author didn't intend that he should in the play. Only a few times, however, does Everton use those tricks, in the main his charac terization being excellent. Josephine Lovett, who plays the Mouse, is a remarkably good actress and gives the most artistic performance of the whole. She has the ostensible qualifica tions voice, face and figure and she knows how to act well enough to be na tural. Macey Harlam, as Jefferson Ry der, son of the Lion, is thoroughly good in the part that of a young man of the "idle rich" type who finds himself at last through his devotion to the girl. One of the beauties of the play is the love of the father for this son and one of the best situations, the understanding they arrive at In the last splendidly acted by both Everton and Harlan. The denunciation scene in the third act s a tremendous scene in which Miss Lovett, Everton and Harlan rise to the heights. John S. Robertson as the Eng lish secretary gave a fine account of him self, as did Eleanore Sheldon as the Lion's wife. George Barr has a bit which he does very well. The audience last night was subjected to much annoyance from the gallery, which persisted in whistling and cat call ing. There should be some way of pre venting such displays in a first-class the ater. It's bad enough at a blood and thunder melodrama. The intelligent por tion bf the audience would seem to be entitled to some consideration. There will be a matinee of "The Lion and the Mouse" this afternoon and a final performance tonight. It is a pleasure to Indorse it as a worthy attraction. At the Stock Theaters "Man of Mystery" at Star. ELODRAMA is popular enough as It 1 I is, but if it were all of the kind that is found in "The Man of Mystery." which is the bill for this week of the Allen Stock Company at the Star Theater, a few more playhouses in Portland would have to be opened up. Wnile probably not the strongest or biggest production of the Alien Stock Company it is undoubtedlv thn most intensely interesting and is bound to give tne aggregation an even still more secure hold on the theater-goers of this city. "The Man of Mystery." as splendidly Interpreted by the members of the Allen Stock Company is almost uncanny. But it holds with a vise-like grip the rapt at tention of the audience and while It causes many shivers it pleases. Henry McRae, as The Shadow, shows to the best advantage. He is the Man of Mystery and Is a sort of a Dr. Jeykl and Mr. Hyde. In society he is a minister of the gospel but in real life is a desperate criminal, wno to avoid detection steals his sister from the home of his uncle. The heroics are furnished by E. Loring Kelley as Lucifer, the great detective who falls in love with the sister of the villain and rescues her from a horrible death. His part is rendered with great effectiveness and gave the audience an opportunity to express Its enthusiasm Muss Verna Felton as Florence Glenwood the sister, shows to splendid advantage. as do all the other members in the cast. "The Man of Mystery" will continue the rest of the week. It is really worth see ing. Lyric. A play which sets the pulses throbbing and holds the Interest from the first to the last acf is "Forty-Nine" a dramatiza tion of Joaquin Miller's stories of the Sierras, as presented this week by the Lyric Stock Company. The play is on the order of "M'liss" and other frontier melodramas of the better class. It pur ports to depict life in a mining camp in the California mountains and the lives, situations, characters and stage settings seem to be accurate reproductions, The part o Forty-Nine, the old miner, as played by Herbert Ashton, is a most lovable and probable one. Air. Ashton is a very efficient actor and when given a strong role never fails to make the most of it. His Forty-Nine is one of the best performances he has ever given. Great praise Is also clue Lily Brans- combe as Carrotte the camp waif. She is delightful in such parts and la thorough ly pleasing and satisfactory when inter perting the part in quesljon. Charles Connors Is exceptionally good as the drunken old General, gaining the sympathy and approval of the audience. Frank Fanning does not quite come up to his usual standard as Denison the lawyer hero. His articulation is bad and his acting .lacks ease and naturalness. Warda Howard hasn t much to do this week but she does herself reasonable credit. Lillian Griffiths is good in the part of an old hag. The production, is a very good one and a credit to the management. At the 'Vaudeville Theaters Grand. THERE is a remarkably fine trio of gymnasts at the Grand this week and although they are not featured on the bill they are entitled to first honors. It Is seldom that three performers work together so admirably, each equally shar ing the credit. As a rule in such acts there is one good performer and the other two merely fill in but in this instance the two men and the woman each contribute a third of the effort and the skill which makes the act a good one. The Three Zoellers are each and severally to be con gratulated on the success of the act. Harry Richards and his company, the "company" consisting of Mayme Taylor, Known here through her connection with Murray & Mack and other musical com binations, and Dorothy Daley, a pretty girl who sings well, contribute an attrac tive skit, called "Dollars and Cents." Miss Taylor's number "Love Me and the World is Mine" is the best feature of the act. Barry & Johnson in a travesty on melodrama called "Held Fdr Ransom" are decidely pleasing, while Billy Moore, in blackface is creditable. Harold Hoft. the boy balladist arouses much enthusiasm by singing "Can't You See I'm Lonely." Frederick Palmer does a sleight-of-hand stunt and the moving pictures are interesting. Pantagcs. TWO acts which depart from the con ventional vaudeville bill as we are accustomed to it here, stand out promin ently at Pantages' this week and prove a pleasing innovation. These are the De Noys trio of dancers and the Randalls in feats of marksmanship. Both are good in their lines and Manager Johnson may feel well satisfied with his offering this week because it includes them. It is such a difficult thing to get new acts that his enterprise is to be commended. The De Noys dance remarkably well. introducing many new steps and giving on the whole a most interesting and at tractive exhibition of the art of Terpl schore. The Randalls are dead shots and their feats with fire-arms are nothing short of amazing. Another creditable act is that given by the Musical Defays which scored a de cided hit at both performances yesterday. Fealey Brothers acrobats, George Sher wood, monologi.st, Leo White with a new illustrated ballad and the blograph pic tures complete the entertainment. TWO CHURCHES ROBBED TIIIEVKS BREAK INTO CHOIR ROOMS SUNDAY NIGHT. Singers Are Plundered and Dr. Clar. ence True Wilson Loses His Overcoat. Grace Methodist Church and the White Temple were both raided by sneak thieves Sunday night during the services. As a result Rev. Clarence True Wilson is minus a light overcoat and several others are losers. After services. Rev. Wilson -went to the choir room to get his overcoat and found it missing. Upon closer investi gation he discovered that thieves had broken the galas out of a door lead ing up a rear stairway and had entered the choir room. Professor William Wilder, musician of the church, upon examination of his overcoat, found that thieves had taken several dollars in small change from the pockets. Mrs. Kemp, organist, was relieved of a pocket book containing $15 and still another member of the choir lost a. valuable umbrella. At the White Temple, thieves entered the choir room through abroken glass door. One woman who- had left her purse in the room found it gone after service. One man went home hatless. while another lost an overcoat. It is thought the same thief or thieves committed both crimes, al though no clew was discovered. Of ficers are working on the case, but it is not thought they will be able to arrest the guilty parties. Rev. Wilson, when asked concerning the matter, said; "A friend consoled me by quot ing the verse from the Sermon on the Mount, which says: 'It any man shall take thy coat, let him take thy cloak also.' If the gentleman who took my coat will kindly call I will follow the instruction of that verse." Republicans Plan Club. Steps towards developing a social or club branch were taken last night by the regular Republican organization at a meeting held In the Columbia building. Those present were heartily In favor of fitting up clubrooms for the use of the members, and it may be that a building lor a permanent noma win be erected. More definite plans will be formulated at a meeting next Monday night. Methodist Preachers Meet. Twenty-five Methodist preachers met yesterday morning at Grace Church for general discussion. Dr. Ford read a pa per, entitled "Observance of the Sabbath On this topic the ministers spent an hour in discussion. With few exceptions the ministers favor a strict observance of Sunday and think those who possibly can should attend church.. Literary meetings are held every two weeks for discussion of general topics relating to church work. Presbyterian Ministers Vleet. Presbyterian ministers of Portland held their regular biweekly meeting yesterday at the First Presbyterian Church. Aside from the usual routine of business, a pa per was read by Rev. A. D. Soper on The Men s Resort. In the paper Rev. Mr. Soper outlined the good resulting from the Men's Resort and urged the support of all ministers in its' behalf. It was de cided to erect a large tent for evangelical Hi NONE BETTER MADE -NONE BETTER KNOWrli fgl Save a 45 for your 1 PI two dollar Hat HI bill pay not five gi At the good Stores puiiiJL'!iiijiLi;iiiiiiHsrBnniinnimiiii'iiiiiiiiiLi'luiiHiiiiiiiiii 9 jja5agLi!IK work in Portland. A tent will be pur chtsfed that can be moved from one part of the city to another with small expense, and it is hoped in this way to reach all the people. Twenty ministers were pres- ent.

McDuffey, aged 21, a resident of Sellwood, was. severely injured yes terday morning at 10 o'clock by fall ing 12 feet from a scaffold upon which he was working at the Western Elec tric Company's plant. He. sustained serious contusions about the head and shoulders and was removed to the Good 'Samaritan Hospital. Sold Ijlquor to Minor. Gus Tiljen. proprietor of a saloon at 153 Alder street, and Emil Gallach. his bar tender, are under arrest for Belling liquor to a minor, a boy- aged 19 years. They will be arraigned in the Municipal Court this morning. Complaint was made against them yesterday by Captain of Detectives Bruin. To Skate atxposit!on Rink. Professor Bell and Baby ' Ruth; cham pion fancy, fast and trick roller-skaters of America will appear twice daily at the Exposition Rink next week, commencing next Monday. Admirers of beautiful skating may well anticipate this attrac tion. Deaf May Hear. Geo. P. Way, the inventor of the Way Ear Drum, is stayihg at the Oregon Ho tel. Mr. Way, whose home office is in ... , the jIajestic Build ing, Detroit, Mich., is making a tour of the country in order to meet personally those who are deaf, and will stay in Portland until No vember 17, inclusive. The success of the Way Ear Drum in relieving deatriess is unquestioned. All who are deaf should visit the Inventor while he is in the city. Mr. Way. formerly a mechanical enprl neer by profession, was deaf himself for twenty-five years, and It was to relieve his own trouble that he devoted his me chanical skill and years of special study or tne ear to solving the problem of an artificial aid to hearing. His theory that the human ear is only a delicate piece of mechanism has been proved true, and it is Interesting to see Mr. Way remove the drums from his ears, without which he is as badly off as those who daily consult him for defective hearing.
