4 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 25, 1907. OFFICER SHOOTS HOBO BY MISTAKE Tries to Frighten Band of Tramps but Aims Low and Kills One. ASHLAND IS IN TERROR 'Division Point on Southern Pacific end Is Overrun With Meji Out of Work Coroner Will Inves tigate the Death of Eiigvall. ASHLAND. Or., Nov. 24. (Special.! Albert Enftvall. one of the horde of un employed men who are beating their way southward through here daily on the Southern Pacific freight trains, was shot and killed last night by Chif of Police C. A Simons, of this city. The officer. It Is generally conceded, did not Intend to hit the man, who. with a hunch of his pals, ran from the peace officers when ordered to stop. The of ficer fired to "bring them to a halt, with the result that Engvall was hit in the stomach and died a few hours after ward. Oriicer Hits by Mistake. Last night a call was sent to the City Hall for police assistance from the depot ectlon. and the chief of police and Of ficer Thornton responded, and undertook to disperse a bunch of 30 or 40 tramps, who had a section of A street in a state of terror. It was while on this duty that the shooting occurred. B.igvall had a diary on his person which gave his address as Havelock, Neb., though according to his entries In the book, he has been traveling about from place to place for some time. lie was a young man and a native of Sweden. The money In his pockets con sisted of 20 cents. Hobos Serious Problem. For some weeks past the problem of handling the stream of men beating their way southward on trains has been a serious one for the police authorities of Ashlsnd. for this Is a division ter minal, where all freight trains are made up for the haul across the Slsklyous and Is consequently a lay-over point for all hobos, who must stop here for a few hours at least. It Is well known that many desperate characters are mingled In the rush, and certain sections of the city have been terrorized by them repeatedly. The rail road company has been keeping special officers here to protect Its property and trains, as well as the public, from de predations by the hobos, who literally swarm the freight trains of the com pany. The Coroner will tomorrow make an official Investigation of the killing of Engvall. t'hehplls County Mills Close. ELM A. Wash.. Nov. 24. (Special.!

Nov. 23. (To the Edltnr. ) We have been a constant reader of The Dally Oregonlan for the past 10 yean and during that ttme Jt has appeared that the paper was working for the best Interest of the common people. We well recollect when Grovi-r Cleveland lisued hi many millions of interest-bearing bonds, how your most excellent paper read the riot act to any political party that would Issue "interest-bearing bonds in times of peace." how we all threw up our hats and shouted for Old Glory and th Republican party and the perpetrator of this act was soon retired In Ignominy as he justly de served and the political party which elected him has not recovered from the disgrace to the present day. Now It Is bothering us to perceive any good reason for extolling In our present Administration what we so heartily condemned In the other. Our understanding Is that 30 days ago we hd about $300,000. 000 of legal tender In the Cnited states Treasury that at the outbreak of the panto In New York the Secretary of the Treasury, by order of the President, deposited In the banks about $22.1.000.000 from Treasury funds, ijrawlng no Interest. HMthln 30 days from that date he Issues $50,000,000 of bends to draw 2 per cent per annum." the money received therefor to be applied to me payment of expenses of building a canal. ' also $100,000,000 treasury notps which draw 8 per cant Interest payable In one year, this issue being made so as to supply the i.oMuij m . . , caning upon me najiKS to return the money borrowed for one year We also observe that all of said bonds and notes hava already baen taken by the banks and will be used as a basis ot further Issue of bank nates. Will you please Inform us through vour paper reasons for thinking this is a better way for the common people, who have the interest to pay. than it would have been had the money already In the Treasury been taken to pay our canal Indebtedness now due, thereby savins $1,000,000 interest: also If a further Issue was necessary why make the Treasury notes bear Interest, they would have circulated among the people Just as wall, without, and thereby saved $3,000,000? It appears to us that a man who would loan his own money without interest and borrow money upon which he pays Interest is on the sura road to bankruptcy; that, we presume, is what Is termed "high financing." Will you also please tell us what has become of the Interest-bearing bonds which became due In 1007? W M L.ANQLE Y. A NKW DSPAHTl'RE.

SOME man whose fame is still thunder ing down the ages once said that the fellow who doesn't like beans Is a liar. I feel like adapting his epigram to "The College Widow." A liberal reward might safely be offered for the one who could sit It through and not have a good time, providing he were able to sit up and no tice. It Is an actor-proof play and re quires a cast of scintillators to make It about the funniest thing that comes to town. Last night at the Helllg this Ade mas terpiece returned for Its third annual en gagement. All the old frinds of our freshwater college days move In and out through the play, drawn so naturally to the life by the Indiana humor that the coming of them each year is the next best thing to going back to the old campus. Our acquaintance with them wears so well that In the third season of the show's road career one Is still delighted with the characters and what they do and say as on first Impression. This is true in spite of the fact that this year's company is not up to the standard, but still good enough to play a piece that practically plays Itself. Several of the former company remain, and they are the ones whose performance makes amends for some of the new peo ple. The present "Widow" is a pretty young woman named Marguerite Snow, who impresses one as a promising an a teur. although she may have had previous stage experience. Richard Taber, who has a "fat" part as Stub Talmadge. is not In the running with his predecessors In the role. This Is to be regretted, as the character is one of the very best In the piece. There is a new "athletic girl'- in the person of Clare Weldon and she comes nearer the requirements than the other recruits, unless It be that Maude Earle. seen as Flora Wiggins, is of the new vin tage. This deponent Is under the impres sion that she played the part before. Her work is capital. George S. Trimble Is still playing the railroad magnate and playing him well and Allan Brooks con tinues as "Bub" and makes the hit of the show4. Robert Kelly does the halfback role as well as ever and Estelle Dale, of the glorious voice. Is as attractive as when she first came here, which Is saying a good deal. As the chaperone she Is what the girls call "a perfect dear." Mabel Deane. a very pretty and clever Portland girl. Is in the cast playing small part creditably. The play Is mounted in first-class fash Ion and the football scene is still exciting enough to move the pulses a little faster. Some of the male menrbers of the com pany made themselves obnoxious by try ing to flirt with someone In the audience. The acting , of the offenders was bad enough in all conscience, and they should remember there's a law In this town against ogling women no matter whom they may be. The engagement of "The College Widow" ends tonight. "Tilly Olson" at The Empire gg r Y YIMMINT, I tank- eet Is goot 3 show," Tilly Olson would say If she were called upon to pass judgment on the play bearing her name that Is the bill this week at the Empire. Little Miss Almee Commons. In the title role, is new to the Coast, but she is certain hereafter to be named among the favor itta in character parts. If she continues the class of work she did yesterday for the balance of Manager Falkner's en gagement. "Tilly Olson." the ptay, is not new here: and that fact, coupled with nasty weather, ordinarily would have produced a slim house. That the house was crowded at both performances yesterday proved two things that the show left a good impression the laat time it was here, and that a bit of water on the streets does not keep Portland people In their homes. Only one or two of the company were here the last time "Tilly" made us a visit, all the principals being drawn from successes In the East. In the cast Is Edgar Mayo, who Is a eclon of the cele brated actor family of that name, well known to theatergoers of the last gen eration. He takes the part of the smooth confidence man who tries to get possession of the property of Tilly's em ployer through various underhand meth ods In which he has the assistance of an accomplice, but the little Swede girl has a. to them, disagreeable habit of turning up at Inopportune times, and succeeds In thwarting their plans. There is a cleverly constructed plot running through the play which is above the ordinary In character pieces, and there are a number of very decent spe cialties. Mother Marvin, the role assumed by Mrs. Orlamond. wife of the stage man ager, is a decidedly good bit of work. She is the "boas" In Farmer Marvin's household up to the. moment the old man takes the reins in time to save his daughter from falling Into the hands of the scamp. Joseph Allen, who does the farmer In a fairly lifelike manner, has a part out of the customary', for the creation of the part calls for a serious minded man. rather than the usual "Rube." That exaggerated personage, however. Is done by Alf Bruce, who puts all the well-known business and horse play Into a character never seen in real life, but too often marring an other wise good play. Gertrude Johns, as the daughter of the family. Jessie Marvin, looks better than she acts, but when time has taught her that posing is not all required of an actress, she will do better. There is plenty of comedy in "Tilly Olson," most of which falls to Tilly her self, but there Is enough of straight character work to carry Interest all the way through, which is much more than can be said of some other road com panies. Next week the Empire will con tinue Swedish-American drama with "Ton Yonson," the perennial favorite. Oregon People In Chicago. CHICAGO, Nov. 24. (Special.) Port land people at Chicago hotels: E. W.

IF ANYBODY intends going to the Marciuam thie week with a precon ceived notion that, he will be instructed or intellectually entertained, he would beat revise his notion. If. on the other hard, he goes with a hope to forget care?, troubles and vexations, he will not bo disappointed. Those old-time comedians. Murray and Mack, who have filled houses for well, no matter how" many years." seem to H6e lost none of their former ability to raise a laugh. "The Sunny Side of Broadway" is a mixture of one part music and several parts of almost everything non sensical and ridiculous. The mature comedians cut much the same old antics tha made people laugh years ago, and probably will continue to make them laugh for years to come. They have abandoned much of the "rough work" of former years, and Murray has blossomed out in swell raiment, which as a matter of fact Is a distinct step backward, for his former shabby-genteel black frock coat and close-fitting high-water trou sers, with the inevitable tile of uncer tain vintage, were more suitable than the gorgeous English-cut plaid with which he now clothes "Sinator O'TooIe." OIHe Mack, on the other hand, is the same fat. Galway-sluggered, smiling, fun-loving Irishman of old. There M really nothing new to say about Murray and Mack In their parts In "The Sunny Side." for they Introduce nothing new: everything has been writ ten about their comicalities. Probably the best that may be said concerning them is that 'they are as funny as ever: and that, with most people who saw them last night, means high praise. A packed theater greeted the comedians, which attests the hold they retain on theatergoers. Maybe only part of the audience never saw them before, which again attests their popularity. Two or three rollicking songs are new here, and the "Every town has its Broadway.- but there's really only one." was caught by the Whistling gallery boys, who demanded It repetition again and again until they had mastered the tune. Few street whistlers wll! lack this tur.e In their repertoire by the end of the week. Murray's "I'd Rather Be a Billy Goat in Harlem" doubtless goes better in New York than on the road, for It hurts the so-called provincial pride." Gladys Van, as the French coquette, sings two new songs, the "You Know She's From Paree" being the most tuneful of them all. There are a lot of other solo and chorus numbers. The wealthy widow Is assumed by Gracelyn Whitehouse. who does her best to resemble Lillian Russell.

WILLIAM GLEASON Is starring in "The Ensign." this week, supported by the Baker) company, and the result is one of the most heartily received per formances ever given at the Baker. While It Is a pronounced melodrama, the heroics ring so true and the element of patriotism is so prominent that one for gets some of the improbable situations that are characteristic of the melodrama and remembers It as a play of excellent pith and point. It Is doubtful if any cast since the original ever has played It so well, nota single detail being neg lected. The company is cast happily in each instance, and even at the first per formance yesterday afternoon things moved along easily as If on well-oiled skids. For the first time this season there wore curtain calls for almost every one of the players, and Mr. Gleason's work aroused a veritable cyclone of en thusiasm. As old Jack Dudley, cock swain of the good frigate San Jacinto, he came near monopolizing the honors. This Is "Billy" Gleason's week, and no mistake, for yesterday he literally carried the audience off its feet in each of his big scenes. The ovation tendered him has not been duplicated this year. An other point of Interest in his connection with the piece Is that lie was stage di rector of the original production, and Is this week not only the leading figure in the performance, but is Jointly re sponsible with William Bernard for the splendid production that Manager Baker has given the play. In the role of Ben Baird. the heroic ensign. Austin Webb Is at all times-sure of himself, and plays with a dignity and repose that makes hts work a delight to witness. William Dills, who appears as Gideon Welles, Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy, accomplishes wonders In the mat ter of make-up, and looks exactly like original of the old-time pictures of that famous Cabinet Minister. He plays the part remarkably well, and stands out as one of the Important figures in the play. Marlon Barney as Alice Greer hasn't a part of great possibilities, but makes much more out of it than the playwright required. Mina Crollus Gleason is to be credited with some wonderfully effective acting In her Interview with Welles when she comes to plead for her son's life. Marlhel Seymour, who was also In the original cast as Mary, the little girl, ap pears this week as Dot, and her fine per sonality permeates the part and makes It a delight. The present Mary is cap itally played by Mamie Haslam, a very promising young actress, who has done a number of clever bits this "season. A new member of the company. Edward Lawrence, "makes good" right oft the reel as the amusing Irish orderly to the Presldsnt. Earl Dwlre as President Lin- I coin looks the part and plays It with out doing violence to the reverence in which the great War President Is held. The scenic effects are excellent, par ticularly the scenes on shipboard. "The Ensign " Is in a class by Itself as a patriotic melodrama. There have been numerous Imitations, but nothing deal ing with the naval side of the Civil War has ever approached It. There Is a fine lot of lofty patriotism In it and everv boy who is studying the history of his country and aspires to become a grownup patriot should not be deprived the priv ilege of seeing It. Every girl, for that matter, will be benefited, and the e!der3 will find great Interest and considerable edification in It. From Rags to Riches at the Star UfZ ROM RAGS TO RICHES" caught I on by the close of the first act yesterday at the Star Theater, and re tained Its hold until the final curtain. The play describes how a family became reunited after having been separated for years through the treachery, plotting and villainy of a rich young scamp who finally meets his Just deserts at the hands of the newsboy hero of the story. The principal reason for the success of this first production in Portland by the French Company is because Eva Earle French was In the original cast, when Charles A. Taylor brought out the play in Seattle a few years ago. and this tal ented actress gave the company the benefit of her former experience at re hearsals.

ROBINSON 8 CO. 289-291 Washington Street Distinguished Clothes for Men. Murphy It is difficult to suggest any im provement in Mrs. French's fine work. Her every appearance on the stage was greeted with shouts of laughter from her delighted auditors out In front. Elizabeth Hale was cast in a character somewhat different from her recent ap pearances, being that of a girl brought up in the slums of New York, and calling for an entire change In action and vocal methods from anything she has done re cently. In Justice to the leading lady of, the company, it is to be recorded that she forgot her new environment only once or twice and dropped back Into the "tremolo." With these few exceptions she carried her character through ad mirably, dressed the part with rare corj rectness, and made a charming picture a Flossie. Kathleen Taylor, as Flossie's brother, the newsboy, Ned, never did a better bit of work since coming to Portland. She Is a very painstaking actress, and Is particularly adapted both by tempera ment and figure to make an excellent boy. She Is the delight of the house In all her work, especially In her rescue of her sister In the Chinese den, one of the best scenic achievements In the play. Dorothy Davis did the adventuress again in her finished style, and rose to the requirements of the several dramatic situations in which she figured without hesitancy and with skill. Leah La Force had a serious part, for a change, and handled It excellently wen. George Daglenn also found himself In a character requiring no "heroics," but sur prised the Star regulars by doing the villain In fine style. He, like Miss Hale, had a bit of a struggle to cut out the "sobby" business, but both succeeded quite well.

Patrol Wagon Responds to False Alarm Mnn Thought to Be Dead at Top of Telephone Pole Proves Very Much Alive. IT WAS a woman's voice.

"I have been watching him for an hour, and he hasn't moved yet so he must be dead," said the woman. Three bells rung at the station, and the patrol wagon dashed out with a load of officers to Fifteenth and Rverett streets determined to rescue, If possible, the un fortunate lineman. They drove up to the corner, and Sergeant Robson, noticing a lone lineman perched on a Home Telephone pole, ap proached. "Hello." said the policeman. "Hello," answered the lineman, "what do you want?
