The mem bers of the bridge draw committee from the civic clubs of the East Side will meet tonight In the Sargent Hotel to com plete the organization for work.' Three committees were authorised at the last meeting, one on general bridge statistics, petitions from commercial clubs and com mittee on river statistics. The first com mittee will gather Information concerning the -volume of trafrtc crossing the bridge, including streetcar passengers. It has been considered more effective to obtain Indorsement from Portland civic bodies than to obtain a long petition, and hence a special committee to prepare this peti tion for submission to the civic bodies has been appointed. Owing to the 'probable difficulty in obtaining information as to the river traffic, the president was authorized to appoint a special committee to gather this information. The whole purpose will be to collect accurate in formation, and submit it to the War De partment, together with the Indorsement of civic bodies, asking that for certain hours morning and evening the draws be kept closed. INTERESTED IK "WAIJJDT CULTURE. Harry Stutsman, engineer of the Bum side bridge, has Just sent up to his farm In the Willamette Valley, 600 more walnut trees, which will make an even 1000 on his farm. The first 400 planted a year ago have done well, only a few failing to flourish. The 60 trees just sent up, Mr. Stutsman will set out as a nursery, to be transplanted when he has more ground cleared for them. While thus planted they will be growing and when Mr. Stuts man Is ready to transplant them they will he well along. Mr. Stutsman is very much interested In nut culture, especially In walnuts, having read nearly everything he can find on the subject and talked with many successful growers. He ex pects, that he will have nearly 1000 Knglish walnut trees producing several ' bushels to the tree within a few years. Holds Joint Installation. M. A.

While on their way to the Hotel Nortonia from the Oregon Grill, Mrs. A. Naylor and her escort, whose name was not given to the police, were held up by two highwaymen at the corner of Twelfth and Stark streets, about 1 Vclock Sunday morning. Mrs. Naylor's sLioams and the resistance offered by her companion put the thugs to flight without booty. A rtport of the hold up did not reach police headquarters until three hours later and then but meager details were given. It seems, however, tbat Mrs, Naylor had attended the theater with a friend and later had gone to the grill for supper. Leaving the restaurant they started to walk to the Nortonia, where Mrs. Naylor lives. As they ap proached the corner of Twelfth and Stark streets, two men stepped out from hiding and demanded their val uables. One of the thugs carried a re volver, and at the sight of the weapon Mrs. Naylor screamed loudly for help and ran, leaving her companion to deal with the highwaymen. He grap pled with one of the- thugs, but the latter broke away. Both highwaymen fled. Mrs. Naylor's escort then rejoined her and took her safely to the hotel. MAYOR GOING AFTER BOYS Salem's Executive Does Work of Ju venile Court Officer. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 26. (Special.) There is apparently no let-up to the campaign of Mayor George F. Rodgers for enforce ment of the laws of the city. The Mayor continues to give his personal attention to the work, especially to the enforce ment of laws relating to public morals. Last night he visited a well-known bil liard room on Commercial street, con ducted by Hill brothers, found a young boy loafing there late at night, &nd, after having a quiet talk with the boy, made him promise to appear in the Police Court Monday. In the past few days a half dozen boys have been arrested for frequenting sa loons. - Sonys of them were fined Vj and two were sent to jail in default of pay ment of the fine. It is sometimes diffi cult for a 6aloon-keeper to toll whether a boy is of age, so the Mayor is holding the boys themselves responsible for vio lation of the laws regarding minors In such places. Mayor Rodgers is going about the matter quietly, but with deter mination, and will keep It up until the boys keep off the streets at' night and cease frequenting saloons, poolrooms and similar places. Since parents seem to take no interest in the boys, the Mayor is looking after them himself. CARELESS HUNTER SHOOTS BOX Stray Shot Hits Him In the Head. Farmers May Prohibit Hunting. FOREST GROVE, Or., Jan. 26. (Spe cial.) Grant, the 10-year-old son of Rob ert Alexander, one of the leading farmers of this community, was shot, apparently by a careless hunter, yesterday, and seri ously hurt. The -boy was playing in the orchard a few rods from the house, when the mother heard a shot and a cry. She stepped to the door and saw the boy run ning toward her with the blood streaming down his face. It was found he had been struck by one shot, which plowed along the eyebrow, and another in the hand. A few years ago a boy in the same neighborhood was killed by a ball from the rifle of a hunter who was over a hill out of sight. It is no uncommon thing to have cattle, sheep and horses hurt by hunters, and It is likely that this latest outrage will result In action excluding hunters from all farms hereabouts. " Claverdon Is Floated. ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 26. (Special.) The British snip Claverdon, which drifted onto the sands during the gale a week ago, was floated at high tide this morning- after having: lightered about 700 tons o her cargo. Although it is not believed her hull has been damaged it will be examined by a diver before the cargo is replaced. WITHERSPOON SALE OPENS fecats for Singer May Be Had Today at the Heilig. m Beprinnlnp this morning: at the HeUigr Theater, Fourteenth and Washington streets, the advance Beat sale will open at the box office for the famous American basso, Herbert Witherspoon, who will give a strand' concert sons recital at the above theater next Wednesday evening, January 29. This celebrated artist will be heard In one of the most scholarly and interesting programmes ever given by a male singer In this city. Mall orders have been coming in the past week from both in and out of town showing this clever singer's reputation has pre- ceeded him with the music-lovers of this community. Mr. Witherspoon's appearance in concerts, oratorio performances and song recitals in particular is marked by strong individuality, intelligent reading and interpretation, perfect phrasing, diction, rich, powerful voice and splendid personality, all combine to make his work a rare artistic pleas ure, vocally and intellectually.

AT THE THEATERS i "THE GINGERBREAD MAN AT THE HEIIJG. The Gingerbread Man. ..Fred J. Nice Machavallus Fudge Carrie k Major Wondrous "Wise Ross Snow Good Fairy.". James McEihorn Simple Simon Percy Matson Krlsa Kringle Lute Vrohman Fiery Dragon . , Bert Lovey Jack. Horner... Evelyn Frances Kellogg Mazie Boa Bon..: Mabel Day Moon 'Glrl.....- Fannie Bou telle BY JOHN JAT HARRISON. PROBABLY "The Gingerbread Man" Is as good a title as any for the combination of jokes, jingles, nursery rhymes, choruses, solos and spectacular effects that kept the audience at, the Heilig last nigrht alternating between rapt attention? to some charming musi cal numbers and holding their sides in laughter at the antics of a troupe of comedians whose work is much above that usually found in traveling com panies. Of course, one of the charac ters is an excellent imitation ginger bread man, and that furnishes the ex cuse for the title. The appearance of Miss Mabel Day in the company brought to mind the last time that delightful soprano fa vored a Portland audience, and she charmed her hearers again last night with several numbers. Miss Day was a member of the Stewart Opera Com pany on the occasion of lis last trip out this way. Her singing Is one- of the most satisfying vocal exhibitions heard here in many months. Miss Evelyn Frances Kellogg also contributed several songs that were distinct hits, the moon song being par ticularly well done, and when the chor us joins her and a fine cloud set is added in the background, with a girl singing as the moon passes by, with the singer reclining in the crescent, the picture is beautiful. Miss Fannie Bou telle is the moon girl, and does her singing part in harmony with the pret ty picture she makes. There are too few opportunities to hear as fine baritones as Is Garrlck Major, doubtless because there are few men possessing as fine voice. Nothing heard here surpasses In harmony and beauty of composition "Queen of My Dreams," which is perfectly rendered by Mr. Major and 9. male chorus. His character of Machavalius Fudge is a remarkable makeup, and his little pet dragon that spits fire is a proper com panion for such a terrific-looking "devil" as Futige. The gingerbread man, who is ani mated through the power possessed by the evil genius, is made one of the hits of the show through the ability of Fred J. Nice to perform some marvel ous acrobatic work, and the "beautiful fairy queen" of James McEihorn is screamingly comical. Ross Snow, as the Mother Goose man, who was won drous wise, is another clever piece of low comedy work, that places that actor on- a high plane. His improve ments on tlte old-time rhvmes would make a graven image laugh right out loud. Percy Matson dresses Simple Simon In a Buster Brown sort of way, and tfie young man has a nice little tenor voice that Isn't quite lost in ensemble numbers. His "steady," Margery Daw, was prettily done last night by Miss Nellie Nice's understudy, that young woman being ill. " The advertising matter of "The Gin gerbread Man" Is likely to create the impression that the festive musical comedy, as it is named on the pro gramme, is a nursery sort of thing, in tended to amuse the children. After laughing oneself most to death over the absurdities of the conglomeration, listening to the catchy choruses and hearing some really artistic rendering of good song numbers, that precon veived idea is dispelled. To be sure, It is a burlesque on fairy tales that youngsters may enjoy as well as grown-ups, and In recognition of that the Heilig management will offer a special matinee performance on Tues day. The engagement closes Tuesday night. The two, or rather three, stage sets are bright and gorgeous enough to sat isfy the eye, but a defect was apparent last night that undoubtedly will bo remedied. The crowd In the upper bal cony was unable to see the moon set, and voiced its protest in no uncertain way. "The Moonshiner's Daugh ter," at the Star XE of the highest-royalty melodramas J of current production -was put on by the French Stock Company at The Star yesterday afternoon, when the .opening performance of "The Moonshiner's Daughter" was given for the first time In stock in this city. Hundreds of peo ple were turned away because every inch of space was taken at both perform ances, and the enlarged cast acquitted themselves to the satisfaction 'of all. The graphic story of illicit whisky making as told Dy Captain Preston, the leader of the moonshiners' gang, with all the picturesque accompaniment of a per fectly dressed stage, in the first act was one of the biggest hits of the piece. The act showed a moonshine still in full operation in the mountain fastnesses of Interior Kentucky; the "worm" and the glowing fires were pictured with faithful adherence to the traditions of the law less times when the Federal agents and the revenue-dodgers were waging relent less warfare, even to death. George Berry assumes the role of the moonshine king and he interprets the part effectively. There are four comedy parts in the play, all of which are in safe hands, and which add immensely to the entertaining qualities of the piece. St. George Daglen, as a backwoods rustic. In love with Dorothy Davis, the moon shiner's daughter, displays sufficient versatilty, though he has been cast in more congenial roles, as a usual thing. Frank Seaward is the tramp comedian assigned the task of "tipping off" lm7 portant secrets necessary to earry the plot along smoothly. The real funologists, however, are Charles Connors and Leah LaForce as Uncle Pete and Mammy Cindy (colored tfolks.) "Mammy" has the real South ern "atmosphere" In everything she says and does, and would fit comfortably in the proper niche of any plantation scene of "befoh tie wah" days: Dorothy Davis as the heroine Is placed In an environment which gives her ample opportunity to win the sympathy of the audience in battling against the odds that must he overcome before the plot entanglements are brushed aside. She has several powerful scenes in which action centers about her and she is equal to them all. Kathleen Taylor has an appealing part as a sort of a hoydenlsh "village cut-up" and child of nature, and puts dash and vim in her work. "The Moonshiner's Daughter" is a tip top melodrama, and is worth seeing. It Is on all this week with usual matinees. Grease, paints and professional supplies at Woodard. Clarke ft Co. AUNE THE PHOTOGRAPHER Columbia Bids. West Park and Wosh- "A MILK WHITE FLAG AT THE BAKER. Colonel Austin Webb Major Charles Lewi J udge Advocate Donald Bow lei Surgeon R. E. Bradbury Band Master James Gleason J Private Howard Russell I Lieutenant William Gleasam I General Robert Homans t The Dear Departed William Dills t The Orphan. . : Maribel Seymour a Particular Friend of "Widow".... 4 Mina Crolius Gleason The Bereaved Marlon Barney BY JOHN JAT HARRISON. THERE are a few plays written In modern times that will draw play goers on numerous repetitions, and Hoyt's A Milk White Flag is one of them. This work of the lamented playwright casts discredit on the National Guard of the couirtry, but it must be remember it was a product of his brain years before our country's citizen soldiery proved the stuff they're made of in the Spanish American war. No one nowadays be lieves the guardsmen are "tin" soldiers, as the Hoyt conceit might have us think. We have our own gallant Third Regi ment, with its proud record in the Philippines, to disprove any charge of carpet- knighterrantry. The "Milk White Flag," however. Is among the funniest things on the stage today. It Is one of the broadest burles ques imaginable, but has some of the wittiest lines Hoyt ever put together. The Baker players, at least most of the present company, appeared In a produc tion of the "Flag" not many months ago and filled the theater at every per formance. This .week the Third-street house will play limit business again, if the reception accorded the efforts of the company yesterday and last night is any criterion. With this matter of the re ception of the players, none of them can have cause to complain of the cordiality of the audience, nor can any member of the company truthfully enter complaint of being overlooked. The audience was impartially enthusiastic over the work of all Individual members of the com pany, showing particular favor to Mr. Webb and Miss Barney, who are to severe their connnectlon with the Baker company at the conclusion of this week. Austin Webb's colonel, "whom Na poleon resembled," was admirable in makeup, and, barring a slip of memory once or twice, was done commendably. Robert' Homan puts in plenty of the gruff though hearty mannerism of the old regular army officer and gives one of the most artistic performances this excel lent actor has done since joining the company. William Gleason as the un dertaker and William Dills as the "corpse" could hardly be excelled, and their exchange of "jokes" Is one of the funniest things In the play. James Gleason does the drum major much better than he did the last time and sang his solo like a regular opera man; and by looking over back files of The Oregonian It will be discovered that Gleason, Jr., came in for a good line of praise on the previous occasion. Donald Bowles, as the fop judge advocate, is simply superior. Has conception of the character Is as Hoyt must have con ceived It. Howard Russell again proves himself one of the best comedians in the company, his "private" being excessively funny. Lewis and Bradbury make im portant parts of the surgeon and major. Miss Barney looks more than usually attractive as "the bereaved" and sang her "And the Weeping Willow Wept" nicely and was encored until she had to beg off. Mrs. Gleason made, all there was to be made of the widow's friend and the drum corps and messenger boys, taken by some extra people, did their little "stunts" quite successfully. No analysis of the play is necessary, as everybody Is supposed to have seen the "Milk White Flag" one time or another. Miss Seymour had 'charge of the musical numbers and specialties and in her capacity as stange manager acquitted herself with much credit Her own work behind the footlights Is Just as excellent as it always is, and patrons of the Baker know that means mighty near perfec tion. , As the "kid," her singing and dancing brought her back so often that it seemed as though the audience would never tire even if she did. Big Hearied Jim," at the Empire BORDBRLAND habits, customs, life and law are clearly defined in "Big Hearted Jim." the rough and ready Western play that is entertaining ja irons of the Empire Theater this week. Presented by a cast that is selected with fine fitness to the pares each is to 'play. whether light or heavy, the two large audiences that welcomed the Initial per formances of the piece, yesterday, took kindly to the offering. The hero, Jim Saxon, sheriff of Medi cine Lodge, is a stalwart, a man whom the processes of evolution have not raised to any particular heights in the scale of civilization, but who commands ready applause because he is given suit able lines. He Is shown in any number of heroic and trying situations which are introduced for no other purpose than to exemplify elemental courage and un wavering bravery. The play is e. series of pictures of what the author conceived to be typical frontier life, the' scenes of action being laid in the Montana country, where the unwritten law, when enforced, excuses many crimes. Harry J. Jackson gives a consistent interpretation of the hero role, and Bertha Julian, as Dora Carlyle, the much-abused heroine. Is one of the most winsome young women that the Empire bookers have given Portland this year. She is not only strong in reading her lines, but she is charmipg to look upon and her emotional efforts are far above the average of this class of attractions. Pierre De Iestrange, a French-Canadian part assumed by John J. Justus, is in splendid hands. Justus Is really master ful in presenting an uncompromising villainous character. Elmer Fritz, the "Heathen Chinese," peddles, laughter broadcast in his minor part, while "Liddy" and "Silas" are bucolic and boisterous team-work comedians, who worry through four strenuous acts be fore they are "blessed" by the "tie that binds," counteract the somber elements of the play. Action doesn't la. It never does In Montana on or off the stage, and with the hero's efforts to suppress outlawry," with stage-robberies and threatened In dian outbreaks, the nerves of the audi ence are keyed up to the standard Em pire pitch. The plot is worked out by rote. The heroic sherirr loves the school- THE POLICYHOLDERS COMPANY EVERYTHING THAT IS BEST FOR INSURER IS IN THE POLICY ma'am (with a past.) The city villain, the other part of the heroine's past, , brutalizes all his acts by attempting fur ther to exercise his malignant power over the sinless woman. As usual, how ever, everything turns out happily in the last act. "Jim" will be "big-hearted" every night this week and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. FIGHT SHOWN BY CAMERA Moving Pictures or Burns-Molr Mill at Marquam. The moving pictures of the Interna tional championship battle for the heavy weight title of the world, which was fought between Tommy Burns, of Amer ica, and Gunner Molr, of E!ngland, on December 2 last, are being shown at the Marquam Grand Theater, and It can be safely satd that they are the best fight pictures ever displayed here. Gunner Moir has been rated by the fistic critics as somewhat of a dub. but there Is no evidence of his being such in the pictures of the battle he put up against Burns. The most apparent rea son for his lack of popularity with the critics undoubtedly was because of the belief that he was a much larger man than Burns. It is true that he does out weigh the former resident of Portland, but it is equally true that he is a fighter of more than ordinary ability. To see the pictures causes one to admire him. for he fought a game fight, and Burns greatly Improved cleverness alone caused his defeat. The pictures display the entire fight, which lasted ten rounds, and show the most interesting struggle between two men that has ever been caught by the multiple camera, the Jeffries-Sharkey battle being the only possible exception. Burns cleverness, coupled with bis foot work, is a revelation to those who wit nessed his performances In Portland sev eral years ago, and aftef seelnar the pic tures one can readily understand how he succeeded in scoring over "Philadel phia" Jack O'Brien, Bill Squires and others. ' Two performances were - given yesterday, and the pictures will be dis played this afternoon and evening at the same theater. ; Astoria Out-Debates Tillamook. TILLAMOOK, Or., Jan. 26. (Special.)

The decision was acceptable to the audience. Astoria was represented by Misses Birdie Wise and Jennie Jeffries and Carl Thomas. Albert Bramwell, John Aschim and Robert Stillwell debated for Tillamook, Stillwell, who was counted as one of the strongest of the team, went to pieces before an audience.
