The body laid in state Friday and Sat urday at this church, where he had labored for the past 16 years. Hundreds of the communicants, who bad known the brother for years, came to express their deep sorrow, and at the services yester day morning there was an atmosphere of sorrow and mourning in the church. Solemn requiem mass was celebrated. Very Rev. Prior Adelhelm, of Mount Angel, officiated and delivered the sermon on his life and character, dwelling on his influence for good and gentleness to all with whom he came Into contact. His Influence would not pass away because the brother had passed from earth. Brother Theodul was a native of Switz erland, and at an early age he entered the Benedictine Order at Engelberg, Switzerland and was a member of the order for nearly 50 years. When 26 years of age he came to Oregon with Very Rev. Prior Adelheim, who founded the Mount Angel community. The body will be taken to Mount Angel today for in terment. Children Attend Theater.

The library committee appointed to canvass for funds for the new East Side branch lihiHty hjia been called to meet tonight at the Sargent Hotel, corner Grand and Hawthorne avenues, by O. M. Scott.

The man who donated the lot for, the branch library also advanced money to erect the library building, with the understanding that the East Side would reimburse him. Cost of the struc ture was $2500. Just how much money has been raised la not known exactly, but It is supposed to he about $1000, exclusive of the $100 subscription made by Rev. T. Jj. Eliot. Many obstacles have been en countered since the canvass was started, but the way now ecems clear to com plete the work. Important Street Improvements. It is proposed to Improve East Third street, between East Burnside and East Oak streets with hard pavement. The esti mated cost of the work Is $9333. Another important Improvement is that of East (Twelfth, between Hawthorne avenue and the northerly line of the Southern Pacific right of way.

East Side- Clubs' Meeting. The united j East oiae ciuds win meet lomurruw insul in the Sargent Hotel, corner Grand and Hawthorne avenues. At this meeting the question of fire hydrants and a new Madison-street bridge will be considered. A large number of special invitations have been sent out. The guests of the evening will be Governor Chamberlain, Mayor Lane and the Executive Board, members of the City Council, superinten dent and members of the Water Com mittee and all presidents of civic clubs on the . East Side. From s everywhere comes a 'demand for fire hydrants, and none are forthcoming. While the City Council has set aside money for fire hydrants, the money is not being spent for the purpose. A demand will be made for 600 hydrants. All local push clubs are interested in this item and will have representatives present. It is also felt that steps should be taken at once to ward erection of a modern steel structure to take the place of the present Madison street bridge, which is being propped up with piles because of its unsafe condi tion. There will also be the election of a new secretary, the present one having resigned, and reports from the bridge draws committee will be submitted. Locked in Saloon.

That in dividual awoke at 4 o'clock and at tempted to get out. A passer-by seeing him reported the matter to the police. Hahnen in the meantime tlld the same thing by telephone. At his request, Wiederman was sent for and in the early morning he appeared and released his friend. - Men's Concert at Arleta.

"The Battle of Life at the Empire Wf ITH one scene in the shadSw of v Mount Shasta and another in the Yosemite Valley; with sturdy miners and civil engineers; the daughter of a Mexi can who is brought up in the mining country without knowledge of her parentage; a smooth scamp who person ates her father in a scheme to gain the fortune belonging to that Individual; a discarded wife who foils the plans of the schemer and the material for "The Bat tle of Life" is furnished. The company presenting this exciting drama at the Empire this week Is of a mixed charac ter, containing both mediocre and good members. Miss Ethel Tucker, well and favorably known in stock in the Sound cities, does by far the best work, and in the difficult role of the wife, cruelly abandoned to make her own way in the world, rises to the occasion in some strong- scenes with the man who endeavors to keep her quiet oy tnreats and actual brutality. She reads her lines intelligently and at times forcefully. The Mexican girl as done by Miss Ann Phillips has too little suggestion of her alien blood, but she plays the part of the pet of the mountaineers prettily at times, only she should know that girls in the Yosemite, even at the hotels, seldom wear white canvas Oxfords.. She does her best work after her scheming suitor is unmasked. . Pearl Lee McCowcll can probably do better In other parts than she does as the old maid with matrimonial inclina tions. Victor J. Donald is far from being con vincing as the schemer his duplicity is much too appanrnt. He makes a good appearance and has a good stage voice. L. G. Tynell drops Into the old miner character whenever he can think of it, and looks the part according to book traditions. R. L. Butler makes a new type of Irish man out of Paddy McCarey, but succeeds in raising an occasional laugh, and that is probably all that was intended In cre ating the part. Coe G. Butler is sufficiently austere as the captain, but lacks the softness and tenderness supposed to belong to the chap who finally "wins the girl." Finally, now that the "grouch" is satis fied, it must be admitted that "The Battle of Life" has some mighty good material in it and, so far as Joseph Barnett, the author. Is concerned, he is to be congrat ulated on having put together an inter esting and exciting play which will doubtless draw well this week. Wireless Police Signals. Scientific American. An ingenious use for wireless telegra phy Is projected in Berkeley, Cal. A pole has been erected on the site of the new town hall, and experiments are being made to test the feasibility of summon ing policemen from their beats in the event of any emergency call.

AT THE THEATERS "THE 'E1V DOMINION" AT THE MARQUAM. Boran . Franz Victor von Hohen- auffen Clay Clement Edgar Norman Randolph .Martin Rutledge Marshall Boner Wm. Conklin J. Charles VcVeigh H. G. Lonsdale Napoleon Lafayette Randolph (Uncle Poly) A J. Sambrook Mrs. Harriet Randolph Miss Alma Viva Mrs. Josephine Dulaney Miss Elite Darling Martha Boland Miss Lucy Blake Flora May Randolph Miss Kathleen Kerrigan BY JOHN JAY HARRISON. NOT to have seen Clay Clement in one of his most finished creations, "Baron Hohenstauffen," is not to have seen one of the great actors of the day in one of the most charming plays of this or any other day. In "The New Dominiott," of which the eminent actor is author, and in which he opened a week's engagement at the Marquam yes terday," there is presented a study in characters that are lovable and altogether human. The charm of the play lies in its ever-present simplicity, in that not one strained effort for mere effect mars the beautiful unfolding of the story. The comedy Is of that high order one finds in the classics. There is an absence of coarseness and grossness. Mr. Clement's Hohenstauffen suggests intimate associa tion with cultured Germans, an intimacy Mr. Clement enjoyed when a student at Heidelberg, for the Baron in the play is of noble birth and is gentle as an old gardener. , , After Colonel ' R. G. Ingersoll saw Mr. Clement for the first time in this part, he, wrote the actor a letter in which he said: "The Hohenstauffen of your creation has the culture of the uni versity, the high breeding of the court, the courage of the army and the courtesy and tenderness of the perfect gentleman." Those words describe beyond the ability of writers of lesser attain ments an estimate of Clay Clement's creation and of his exemplification of that character as strong as it is deserved. Goodwin has his Maxine; Clement his Kathleen. Miss Kerrigan, as the South ern girl, who so completely captivates the German philosopher, that the poor man almost loses his mind in his frantic efforts to make her understand his broken sentences and comprehend his love, is one of the striking beauties of the American stage, and also possesses true dramatic talent. In her love scenes she is Irresistibly winning and when she tells her father her heart belongs to the absent Baron she fairly scintillates with dramatic fire. "The New Dominion" was presented yesterday for the first time in Portland by the present company; In fact, except the one performance "in the provinces" meaning Astoria Saturday night, it was the company's first public appearance as an organization. Mr. Clement compli mented Portland by assembling his new company in this city, and from their ad mirable work last night land yesterday afternoon he is to be congratulated on the support he has gathered around him. Of course, the Baron is the chief char acter; in great comedies Interest usually centers In the star part, and, usually too, stars are rarely surrounded by other than mediocre people. Not so with Mr. Clement's company. There is not a weak spot in his support. The Southern planter, as portrayed by Martin Rutledge. is second only to Mr. Clement's Baron as a perfect type, and the old-time Southern atmosphere is sustained from the darkeys' singing be fore the first curtain rises until every body takes a Christmas mug of nog at the finale. Little Miss Lucy Blake weeps and sobs through her trials and tribulations until she has her auditors about over como in their sympathy for her wrongs. Miss Viva and Miss Darling are valuable additions to the company. J. J. Sambrook makes the old darky house' servant one of the sort rapidly disappearing in the South, but who were highly esteemed In the' olden days. Mr. Clement, who can Je relied upon to always do the grace ful thing, appeared hand in hand with Napoleon In response to a recall. H. G. Lonsdale, fresh from his suc cesses In the East, got into the spirit of the play remarkably well, considering that he knows the South, only as knowl edge of its home life has wandered to England through books and travelers' letters. His American young lawyer was satisfactorily done. William Conklin Is cast in the only character In the play that calls for disapproval. As the scion of a "carpetbagger's family," he makes the hard drinker a chap more to be pitied than despised, and keeps away from over doing the "relaxation." It is doubtful " If Portland will soon have the opportunity to see again a theatrical production carrying so many finished actors.

"GRAUSTARK" AT THE BAKKR. Grenfell Lorry .S. Robert Homans Harry Anguish Donald Bowles Prince Gabriel .James Gleason Baron Dangloss "". Earl I. Dwlre Prince Bolaroz ..Edward Lawrence Lady Mlsrox Hilda Graham Lady Linnox Elsie Garrett Teel Fay Bainter Aunt Yvonne ..Mint Croltus Gleason Countess Das mar Louise Kent Prince Lorens Denton Vane Sitzky Howard Russell Oetrora -R E. Bradbury AUode. ...... Charles Lewis Dannox James Murphy Therese Maribel Seymour Yetive Izetta Jewel BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. THE very first performance of "Graustark" ever given here oc curred at the Baker yesterday after noon and met with the approval of a large audience. It served to inaugu rate the second week of Izetta Jewel's engagement as leading woman, in- the role of Princess Yetive, who reigns over one of those imaginary pocket edition, trouble-in-the-Balkans princi palities which completely surround Anthony Hope and George Barr Mc Cutcheon. Miss Jewell had already made a very favorable impression through her work as Nance Olden, which impression is strengthened de cidedly by her delightful, personation of Yetive. . The princess is girlish, whimsical and impulsive, as Miss Jewel plays her, and therefore .the popular impression of very young and very fascinating novel heroines with a side line of family a,nd temporal power, Is justified. The viva cious young actress is fitted in every particular to make much of the part and gives a most agreeable perform ance. The McCutcheon novel, from which the play is made, has been a popular book for several years. In fact, at one time it got into the "best six" class. It is told In breezy newspaper style, and while the story Is not at all novel, it is one of the kind people stay awake to read. It deals with the love affair of a certain Grenfell Lorry and this Fluffy Ruffles princess, which affair commences in this country while the lady Is entour incog. In fact the young people begin to act a trifle dopey on a Union Pacific train, No. 9 I be lieve, on the way East from Denver. Lorry and his friend, Anguish, after ward go to Graustark in search of ad ventures and the girl of the train In cident, without knowing her to be such a toppy person. They have adventures a-plenty, with rapiers and pistols, dungeons, under ground passages, thrones, treasons, stratagems and spoils. Lorry finally wins the princess and the last curtain falls upon a deliriously happy inter national episode. Adapted to the stage "Graustark" Is a very pretty romance, although not a cohesive or striking drama. The five acts are interesting, but their relation towards each other do not form a con nected narrative. Next to Miss Jewel the most credit able individual performance Is given by Denton Vane, a new member of the company who made his first appearance- yesterday. Mr. Vane is on for only a. few minutes, but he reads his lines so well, carries himself with such an air and Is so sure of his work, that he looms up as very important to the success of the play. A tolerably well acted role Is Gren fell Lorry, the adventurous young American, as done by Robert Homans, who seems to have settled into leading parts quite naturally. I,orry is far from Homan's best work, however, and does not nearly measure up to his performance of Latimer in "In the Bishop's Carriage." Donald Bowles is quite satisfactory as Anguish, the hero's lieutenant, although he does not seem to exert himself sufficiently to be conscientious. Howard Russell is decidedly funny as the American bell boy. James Gleason is effective as the villainous Prince Gabriel, while Jklari bel Seymour maintains her excellent standard, although she has but a bit. Scenically "Graustark" is all that could be desired. It will continue all wce'k as usual. "Adrift In the World" at the Star STAR patrons have an opportunity again this week to see the designing villain foiled at every stage of the game and to finally meet his just fate and to see the "heerow" come off triumphant in the end with a bullet wound In one arm and the heiress hanging onto the other. '"Adrift In the World" starts in New York where some first-class character work Is introduced by several members of the company, and then jumps to the Rocky Mountains, where the serious work of the plot is worked out. Some unusual characters are introduced in the opening of the play, one being a young "journalist," whatever that may mean probably .a newspaper man out of a job. The action and dialogue of this play are of the rapid-fire order, giing the listener hardly time to catch his breath bet-ween thrillers. Comedy is giv en much prominence, and in such capable hands as Charles Conners, Frank Sea ward, Frank Howe, Charles Burnlson, Leah LaForce and Kathleen Taylor, there Is plenty of laughter to sandwich in be tween the heart throbs and breath-stopping situations. St. George Daglenn has done much bet ter work in other things than he does as the lover In this drama probably he is handicapped by the printed programme entitling him a "journalist.'" that's enough to queer any impersonation, especially when the programme is the only, clew to the character supposed to be represented. As Mother O'Marrah, Eva Earle French has but little to do, but of course does that little with carefulness to detail and situations. In the part of her brute of a husband. George Berry makes the charac ter as strong as required and weakens at the end, as all cowardly ruffians do In real life. Miss Davis, in the lead again, is ex cellent. It is a positive pleasure to see this actress In any part she essays, for she is always letter perfect and is one of the most conscientious people on the stage today. The recent acquisition to the company, Miss Jessie Stuart, is a' success. She is not unknown to audiences in this part of the country, having recently been doing good work at Vancouver and has been seen occasionally In this city. Kathleen Taylor is, as usual, doing her work prettily, but it is a pity she has such difficulty 1n drop- THIRD FLOOR, G0RBETT BLD'G IS THE HOME Oregonffife . THE POLICYHOLDERS' COMPANY A. L.

Member of Coast Organization Thinks It Should Be Made a Benevolent Society. At the Oakland convention of the Pa cific Coast Advertising Men's Association R. M. Hall, the retiring president, on leaving the chair urged that the plan of holding a semi-annual convention be abolished, and that annual sessions be held, asking the members to consider this question so that some action could be taken at the Portland gathering In June. Already Mr. Hall has received a number of letters from a number of the leading advertising men of the coast indorsing his idea. A letter received yesterday from Fred H. Drake, of Sacramento, urges that such action be taken at Port land and among other things he adds: Great organizations have grown from smaller associations than the P. C. A. M. A. We are as great in numbers as the Associated Advertising Clubs of America, and we are a much older as sociation. Why should we affiliate and send 25 cents a member to this East ern club, which has never thought of us other than as easy money? Why not ask them to affiliate with us? We are the father lodge or association. At Portland the P. C. A. M. A. should be placed on the same footing as, for instance, the Elks. The P. C. A. M. A. should have both executive and legis lative power over the local clubs; it should bfe the father club, with power to Issue a charter to every city that can get seven or more men together who are. either buyers, sellers or writers of advertising; It should have a member ship card and pin synonymous with tile craft; its secretary should have a record of the experience and ability of every member and should help him to ohlain a position when out of employ ment. A monthly bulletin 'should he published for the benefit of its mem bers and a hospital fund would be a splendid idea. The secretary of the P. C. A. M. A. should have power to put an organizer in the field to organize new clubs and grant charters. Each local club should co-operate In methods of entertainment and raising of funds. Every club should, by come means, raise money and send delegates to each annual con vention (which should be in the Sum mer) and in this way every club will have its proper representation. T. M. R. Keane. president of the Spo kane Ad Club, Indorses the annual con vention idea and adds: "At our last meeting we took in more than a dozen new members, and we are going to have a jgood club. We are all coming to Portland in June, 15 of the members having already pledged them selves to come." Percey Goldenrath, of Vancouver, B. C, writes: "The advertising men of this city and Victoria will unite with Seattle for the Portland trip and we will make a fine showing. We expect the Portland qon ventlon will be the best ever held on the coast, and our hearty support will be given to make It such." URGE M'MILLAN TO RUN Friends Insist That He Become Can didate for Legislature. Friends of George W. McMillan are more Insistent than ever that he should become a candidate for the Legislature. Particularly active in proposing McMil lan's legislative candidacy are his friends in the Multnomah Athletic Club who are urging him to come out. For years Mr. McMillan has been a resident of this city and is prominent in business, social and athletic circles. His high standing in amateur athletics is shown by the fact that at the recent election of officers of the Multnomah Club he was re-elected president. This was the first time in the history of the organisation that a presi dent of the club has been- elected to suc ceed himself. Ever since Mr. McMillan announced that he would not enter the race for Sheriff, because he could not spare the time from his -business, his friends have busied themselves in an effort to bring him out for the Legislature, holding that he un doubtedly would prove one of the strong est candidates that could be named. Sat isfied of his strength as a candidate, Mr. McMillan's friends will renew their de mands that he enter the race. Should Mr. McMillan decide to become a candidate, it is said he will not sub scribe to Statement No. 1, but he has made no definite announcement.
