Frank Hacheney, an Oregon pioneer, and for many- years prominent in politics having held numerous offices of public trust, died at tho home of h?s son. Ernest Hacheney, at Walla Walla, Wash., at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hacheney, who was 74 years of age, had been failing for some time, and last September left Portland to visit his son at Waila Walla, thinking the change in climate would prove beneficial. At first he seemed to improve, but his advanced age told against him and he commenced to fail. Last Tuesday he wrfs taken to a hospital and died at that institution yesterday morning. The body will be brought to Portland for burial and is expected to arrive to night. The Masonic Order of Portland will have charge of the funeral, the date and hour of which will be announced Jater. The late Frank Hacheney was one of the pioneers of the Pacific Coast.' He came to California in the days of the gold excitement and prospected in the Sacramento Valley, the Eraser River country and in Eastern Oregon. During the early '70s he came to Portland and engaged in the grocery business, the firm being known as Hacheney & Stenne. J.ater he- dissolved this partnership and formed the firm known as Hacheney & Beno. While engaged in the grocery business he was elected Councilman from the old Third Ward before the days of consolidation. Later he was elected .County Treasurer. After this he was chosen City Treasurer, to which office he was re-elected three tifnes. The present City Treasurer, J. E. Werlein, is a nephew of Mr. Hacheney, and succeeded him when the latter retired seven years ago. The deceased Is survived by six of hfs seven children. A son, Frank Hacheney, Jr., .died, in 1905. The surviving children are: Mrs. A. H. McGowan, Mrs. John Abbott and Miss Bertha Hacheney, of Portland, and Ernest Hacheney, Miss Ruth and Miss' Kllzabeth Hacheney, of Walla Walla, Wash. Two sisters.

The de ceased also has a brother and sister re siding in Central America and a brother living at New Orleans. He was a 32d degree Mason and a Shriner. He was also a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. CARRENO PLAYS TONIGHT World's Greatest Pianisto "in line Programme at the Marquam. When Carreno comes on the stage at the Marquam Theater tonight there is no doubt that she will repeat the story of her early successes, successes which have been hers whenever and wherever her agile fingers have touched the ' key board. The programme is spjendidly se lected and cannot but .please every one who is fortunate enough to hear it, whether lie be musical or only a real music lover. Among the fine numbers winch this cos mopolitan woman ihas selected to offer are tho Beethoven A,ppassionate; four Chopin numbers: the Prelude, Op. 23; Nocturne Op. 62. No. 1; The Etude in G flat and the Polonaise In A flat. Op. 53. Following these splendid numbers will be the Rubenstcln Romania, which lias won such tremendous ovations through out the Kast and which the carping critics ihave outdone themselves in honoring. After the Romanza will be the Ruben stein G major Barcarolle and then conies the famous Paganlni-Liszt arrangement of La Campanella. These numbers in themselves would constitute a wonderful programme, but the generous, , whole souled Carreno has added some Liszt numbers, three, the Sonneto del Petrarca, the Etude in D flat and the wonderful Rhapsodie Hongrolse No. 6. A finer programme for the piano, by one of the real masters of that Instrument, has never been offered to musio-lovers here and the recital tonight, which is under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coroan, has probably never been .sur passed in musical and sensational inter est. TWO BOYS ARE RUNAWAYS Search Is Made .for Escapes From Aid Society Home. Two boys ran away from the Receiv ing Home of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society yesterday afternoon just after Sunday-school. Their description Is as follows: Kenneth Horgan, aged about 11 years, light brown hair, blue eyes and ruddy complexion, slightly freckled, had on blue overalls with dark coat and cap. Bruce Donelson, aged 12 years, dark eyes and hair, also had on a dark coat and cap with blue overalls. This boy is from Hillsboro, and w.ill probably try to get home. The management at the Receiving Home would be glad to receive infor mation leading to the capture of these boys, either by letter addressed to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, of this city, or by calling up by telephone East 5 or B1404.

Madam Carreno a Striking Exception to Artistic Rule Interviewer Finds Pianist a Thoroughly Normal Woman, With Well Behaved Nerves One of the Pew "Infant Prodigies" Who ' Have Survived Triumphs of Childhood. F . ' '''-st' S 'fi , '8 I , - v. - i I -, '' 1 1 i A I - - ; a : h ' J ' Mme. Carreno. BT ARTHUR A. GREENE MADAME CARRENO is quite unlike the artist of musical commerce in that she behaves exactly as a normal human being should. I Imagine the madame dines rather well and enjoys the table. I can also Imagine her doing housewifely things, such as plain and fancy sewing, even reading the fashion periodicals that are so dear to woman's heart. Her nerves seem to be well be haved, and if she has "tantrums'' they must be mild and Infrequent. During the course of a conversation at her apart ments at the Portland, yesterday after noon, she did not once show tendencies toward that "fine frenzy" which is too often part and parcel of the star musi cian's stock in trade. She displayed an interesting sense of humor as applied to practical matters, and seemed interested in the conversation she was making. It does not require that the interviewer use a stepladder to get within hailing distance, for she doesn't carry a portable pedestal with her. Hor achievements have been unusually notable, and she might even be forgiven a little posing, but because she does not attitudinize, much credit Is due her. Teresa Carreno is an "infant prodigy" who has survived. Most child wonders of the musical or dramatic stage are unable to go through the period of adoles cence. They make their exits when childhood's happy hours begin to wane and are heard of no more. The case of Carreno, however, is an exception. She has" been continuously before the public since she was 9 years old. which was quite a spell back. During the years that have Intervened she has held a command AT THE THEATE-RS "THE COUNTRY SQl'lRK" AT THE MAIMJUAM. Jeremiah Bassett Mr. Willard Lot Thorn Arthur Elton Reginald Coombs M. J.

Malley Hiram Hopkins Charles Bird Hank Peck James Woodson Diahdamah Bobbitt. .Lela Thompson Sarah Jane Shaw. . . .Volberg Aleren Peggy .....Gertrude King Alice Bassett Avis Lobdell BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. A LARGE and appreciative audience at the Marquam last night enjoyed a real privilege in witnessing Lee Willard's beautiful characterization of tho titlo role of his new play, "The Country Squire." AVe have had the best interpret ers of lovable old men of the rural New England type from Denman Thompson down through the list on our local stages and It was not because of any novelty or through any favoritism for the young 'star that he was given such an attentive hearing and generous applause for his work. Portland is critical and con.serva five In the matter of approving theatrical performances, and Mr. Willard had to stand comparison with dozens of fine character -actors who preceded him. It is to his lasting credit as an artist that the test did not fail and that he gave a. performance seldom equaled in its line. The play, "The Country Squire," is the joint work of J. A. Kent, a California newspaper man, and Tdr. Willard himself. It Is conventional, almost hackneyed In theme and development. The characters are familiar, the tender-hearted old Squire, tho wayward daughter who goes to the city- to make her way, leaving the father disconsolate until -the last act happily reunites them, the eccentric Dea con, the loutish "hired hand," the old .maid sister and a number of other char acters familiar through long exploitation In farm plays. The plot is rather a slender thread and the tone of the piece is sub dued, perhaps a trifle too much so. The settings, however, areunsually good, con sidering that the requirements are not ex tensive and the costuming Is highly com mendable. It is essentially a starring vehicle, Mr. Willard's part dominating It until at times U becomes little more than a mono logue. It could be improved if more ac tion was instilled and it Is questionable if in the effort to be sincere and realistic the authors and the star have not erred to a degree. Students of characteriza tion will find Mr. Willard's work delight ful, but the average audience would take kindly to a few melodramatic touches. Willard's treatment of his part is exqui site. The pathos, tenderness and whole some quiet humor he brings to the part mark liim as an actor of very superior ability. In the interview between the Squire and the Deacon, both he and Arthur Elton, who plays the latter, do a splendidly finished bit of work. We have long been looking for a 'suc cessor to Sol Smith Russell, and I be lieve he has arrived in the person of Lee Willard. He is wise to adopt such roles as he Is' infinitely superior In them than in any of his past efforts. It Is a demon stration -of his sincerity and devotion to his art that while a young and handsome man of the matinee Idol type, he has the courage to create an old, -wpatherbeaten character such as this and make, him so absolutely effective in voice, gesture and method. He should find his present ve hicle a highly successful one, providing he will make some slight alterations in the manuscrtpt. eliminating a little here and axlding a little there. . The support Is sufficient to the needs. The leading woman. Avis Lobdell, is pretty and girlish with a pleasing pres ence and voice and considerable acting ability. Harry Woodthorpe gives a good account of the part of the ancient lover, M. J. Hooley is decidedly good as the Doctor and Misses "Lela Thompson .and Volberg Algren as the belles of uncertain age reflect credit on the management. They are local girls of much promise. It is to be regretted that the engagement of "The Country Squire" is not longer. ing position in the musical world and has devoted herself so assiduously to her art that her career has been one of steady developmept. Her history is an interesting one. She was born in Caracas, "Venezuela, of a good line of Spanish ancestors. Her father was minister of finance of the republic and a man of considerable wealth and learning. He was something of a musician, himself, and i,t was from him that the daughter learned the rudi ments of her art. Now it is a matter of common knowledge that revolution's grow over night in Caracas, and during one of thee breakfast-spell upheavals, the administration to wiucn tne xatner De longed was overthrown and the minister himself banished with his family. They sought New. York as a haven of refuge, and when they took stock at the Me tropolis discovered that from being opulent they had become penniless. It was up to the family to get busy and as young Teresa had displayed rare musical ability the parents finally con sented that she be allowed to appear in public concert. This marked the real be ginning of the Carreno career. She was a years old and the place was the Academy of Music. The next day the musical critics raved over hor perform a nee and 'she was taken out on a con cert tour. She attracted the attention of Gottschalk, one of Chopin's pupils, who took her under his tutelage during the next three years. At the age of 10 she made a Boston debut, and It was but a short time until the musicians of the country all were discussing the "infant prodigy." At 12 she went to Paris where she studied under the best roasters of the time, including Rubinstein, to whom she owes considerable of her success. In Paris she fell under the witching 'spell of Chopin, for at that time the best pupils of that surpassing genius were in their zenith. To this day' the Chopin influence is strong upon her,, and sho is enthusiastically loyal to him. When she reached maturity she was fully equipped by breeding, training and temperment to take her place among the world's pianists and her subsequent career In Europe, . America and Australia has been one of continued success. Today she holds a position so far above the commonality of musicians that she has little to fear from imitation or rivalry. I am convinced that the music in Car reno is Latin, and that the practical good sense she displays is of the United States. I have never heard her, bu$ I imagine her Spanish blood dominates everything she does at the Keyboard, which If true accounts for the fact that she has outdistanced all her sister plan ists. The first woman of her time as a player of the piano, and has been called an Amazon as an executant. No doubt she has a masculine command of the in strument. A Portland audience will have a chance to judge tonight, but as I met her yes terday afternoon she seemed to be an altogether likeable, witty "safe and sane" woman, to whom her music was first and all important, but who had not gone crazy over it.

WILJjJAM GLEASON, supported by W the Baker Stock Company, is starring this week in that delightful rural comedy "Davjd Harum," a drama tization of one of the most widely-read novels ever published in this ootintrv. The part of the unotious old country oaiiKer ana horse-trader might have been written for Mr. Gleason for It fits him as well as a perfectly tailored suit of clothes. At yesterday's performance ho cm nut siur over a line or situation, nor d.id the audience miss a laugh or the sug gestion of tears that sometimes lies close beneath the surface of his unfail ing good humor. . The particular gems of his perform ance were me horse-trade negotiations, in which he rids himself of the balky colt, the apostrophe to his dead child's Picture and his eaneollatlnr. .i widow's mortgage. William H. Crane, wuo titarreu in the piece for two sea sons, had little tho best of It in the finer lights and shades. Mr. Glcason's make-up is an inspira tion. He must ?iavo borrowed the outfit from some up-country financier. The other characters in the play are little more than "feeders" for the lead and It is greatly to the credit of the other members! of tho np.an.iti.. v. . - vipuuiuauuu II1U.C. they give Mr. Gleason such careful and painstaking support.

Peck ran a series of character stories in Peck's 6un of the antics and mischievous pranks of the Bad Boy, that incorrigible youngster made a hit with readers of the Milwaukee paper. And ever since the sketches were brought to gether and dramatized, the play has drawn crowds to the theaters) who howl with laughter that Is if tho Bay Boy and his friend, the groceryman, are any-, way reasonably done. Estelle Plunkett, who is in the title Dart in "Peck's Bad Boy" at the Empire this weeK. .makes a tine looking boy and has the part well in hand, going through the busy "kid s" irrepressible and boisterous "business" in a manner that satisfied the houseful of people who witnessed the It's a cold fact that February is the iciest month of the year.

She is as much of a mischief-loving boy as a woman can be. iKlorence Kolb makes a capital grocery man, who is kept on the jump in his ef forts to avoid traps set by the Bad Boy, without being able always to do so. Louise Plunkett furnishes her share of the fun in tho- character of Minnie, and May Deagle, as the boy's "ma," Is suf ficiently anxious over his bubbling over characteristics. The tramp, W. L.. Trice, and the police man, A. J. WUes, keep things moving when in evidence, which is often enough to give the boy a chance to catch breath. The other characters are acceptably done. Moralizing on the effect such a play has on the rising generation was ex hausted years ago. The old argument that boys are bad enough in all con science without having them made heroes in misdeeds has always been met with the counter assertion that youths seeing the play, leave the theater resolved not to follow in the footsteps of the lad who raises so much disturbance among the people wrth whom he associates. Crowds have laughed at the youngster and will probably laugh for years to come, as the old sketcli seems to have no promise of becoming antiquated. The piece at the Empire this week pleases seemingly as well as ever, and full houses will doubtlessly be the rule for the week. The Train Robbers" at the Star. ONE of the pronounced successes of Manager R. E. French's last sea son In the East was "The Train Rob bers," which his company Is producing this week at the Star Theater. It re celved its first performances yesterday afternoon and' night, and was received with demonstrations of approval from start to finish. The drama is strong in all essentials and has some particularly exciting situations. The story centers around the quest of a ricli Caiffomian, who is lost sight of after reaching the Yellowstone country where ho-was known as Sacramento Joe The heavy villain takes .charge of Joe's little girl and endeavors to keep her identity secret in the hopo eventually of securing her inheritance. This girl, known only as Bess, in the rough coun try in which she was reared, knows the spot where her father was buried, and in disclosing this fact to Frank Durant, a Secret Service man who comes to break up a band of train wreckers and cut throats, gives lilm the desired clue, for tho villain. Captain Tcmcno, also knows Joe's burial place and' is himself the leader of the gang Durant is after. Train robbers at work in Rocky Pass Gulch, where their attempt to hold up a train is thwarted by the detective cutting the telegraph wire with a revolver shot; the duel in a ranch barroom: the express train rushing by in safety, and the final explosion, which semis the gang into eternity, are a few of tho scenes that elicited cheers yesterday. Miss Dorothy Davis, in the lead this week, does the daughter of the railroad superintendent In a capable manner. though she looked' at times as if she would like to take a hand in the rough work. Miss Kathleen Taylor does Bess admirably, being vivacious and de spondent in turn, as the situation's re quire. She introduces a song, "Nothing Like That in Our Family," which de manded encores. St. George Daglenn, in the part of the detective, gives one of the best pieces of acting he has done in this line since coming to Portland. Mrs. French, as Jerusha Jane, with Charles Conners, as . Major O'Malley, backed up by George Berry in black face. fuioiishes any amount of fun to relieve the tension caused by so much tragedy. and tho three were welcomed hilariously at every appearance on the state. The new 'heavy. D. M. Henderson, Charles Burniaon and Frank Seward, all have important parts in the drama, which they do with their usual painstaking care.

The lease provided that the hotel was not to be used for immoral pur poses, so Hitchings, it is said, conceived the plan of hiring disreputable persons to take lodgings at the hotel, and then have Captain Bruin raid it. Captain Bruin was told that he would receive a "handsome present" for his part. The nolico officer at once placed the mat ter before a prominent attorney, and the result was the filing of charges against Hitchings. The grievance committee will take up the charges, and if they are sus tained, disbarment proceedings will bo brought against Hitchings in the Su prcme Court.
