GltF.ENE. THE ghoe pliu-Did a ood many peo ple at th Heilis last night, where Herbert Kelcey and EfTie Shannon gave their first Portland performance in Al fred Sutro's drama of "smart" London society, "The "Walls of Jericho." . Most of us can learn something to our ad vantage by seeing that play, particu larly those who belong to the fashion able set. Jack Krobisher's denunciation of his wtfe and her contemptible world is one of the most powerful preachments that have been written for the stage In many year, and Mr. Kefr-ey read It with such tremendous power and sin cerity as to elicit a demonstration that interrupted the scene for several sec onds. It Is signiticant that the ap plause seemed to come largely from the men In the audience, the arraignment naturally being more severe' against the frivolous members of the frailer sex. -I wish 1 might have had a stenographer there. In "order that the full text of that speech might be printed. It assuredly "says things" worth mulling over. "The Walls of Jericho" Is not a prob lem play within the common acceptance of the term. It makes no heroines or heroes of profligate women and men. But it does etrlke at the very under pinnings of the rotten superstt uctura of "our best sorlets-." Childless, gam bling, wine-drinking, risque-story tell ing wives and their male consorts are most properly classified. Amid the mass of "society" dramas, which In the ma jority make a Jest of decency, as do the people to Vhom titey are addressed, this play is a leaven. It makes one proud of the theater and heartens those who believe it has a mission of good to perform. Both Mr. Kelcey and Mis. Shannon are consummate artists. Their joint efforts fixed their status "definitely a considerable time ago, and their work In "The. Walls of Jericho" is an earnest of their desire to do only the best things in the realm of acting. Too high an encomium could hardly be passed on .the former's treatment of the role of Frohlsher. He Is never out of tho pic ture, and he moves through the play with the unaffected stride of genius. Absolutely free from artificiality and theatrlcallsm, he typifies the real force that is working today to throw down the walls of society's Jerlf no, although the filmile hardly extends to the proph et's narrative concerning the efficacy 3f trumpet blowing. This big, strong, honest fellow, Fro bisher, lured into a fashionable, mar raise by a shallow, unworthy woman and her vicious abettors, finally finds lujnself, and when he does he throws Iii.i mental ami physical brawn against t'le walls and pu..es them over. That's a much more effective way than blow ing a horn. i.elecy makes - Frohisher a iicrfC 'Uy piohuhlc man, and the audi ?nce is never once reminded that he is acting. Miss Shannon has a thankless part, and not one of great possibilities, but he Is artistic to the last degree, which means that she Is consistent through out and understands completely the significance of Krobisher's wife. The supporting company is not an espe cially distinguished one, and in spots Is decidedly commonplace. Kuth Chester, a talented woman who labors under the disadvantage of a weak voice, is de serving of Individual mention as Lady Westbury. and Miss Mornlngton. who lives by bridge, is capably played hy . Vlda Croly. The people are quite nat7 ' urally well-dressed, as is. perforce, the stage. There will be repeatd per formances up to and including Wednes day night. No Mother to Guide Her at the Empire THE patron of melodrama who wit nesses the performance of "No Mother to Guide Her." which opened yes terday at the Empire, will undoubtedly not be disappointed. The snares which lie in the path of the unprotected shop Kirl are. portrayed in a convincing and thrilling manner., F.ess Slm-lair. the wronged heroine, who. with her friend.

Rose Js al ready engaged 10 .Ralph Carlton and Sj urns, the attentions of Li vin-tune. The arrival of Kess Sinclair complicates mat ters and in cttinK her out of the way. Livingstone has to use desperate meas ures. Whisky, puns and knives ligure prominently in the villains outfit. In spite of this equipment, Livingstone is foiled and the play ends in a way to suit everybody. The first scene shows a farmhouse; the second a Gypsy cump in the woods. The action shifts in the third act to New York, and the tinal scene is placed in an old hut in the hills. The play is in capable hands and the climaxes are worked up In accordance with the tradi tions of this brand of entertainment. Virginia Duncan.- as tlir poor heroine who travels life's hard highway without a mother's protection, piv.s to the role th proper illusion of pricf and suft'er Frank lslit as Silas Waierbury. the town constable, contributes some excel lent character acting. To him and "Bunco." played by Jeannette Caiew, falls most of the comedy work. Mother Tarsal, a Gypsy hag. who helps ir.e villain. Is ft new character in melodrama and was well portrayed hy Julia H. Tobias. May Maniiinp; furnishes a Rood share of the comedy as Lindy Jane Smithers". an impressionable spinster. The play will undoubtedly draw large crow J. throughout the week.

Klcca Allen LiHIan Baker fcuo How BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. PAUL GILMORE has come to Port land for his annual visit and opened with a matinee at the Marquam yester day a week's engagement in his new play "The Wheel of Love." Mr. Gilmore long ao bpcame a poeitive local favorite and the enthusiasm which greeted him yesterday is the best evidence that his popularity grows from year to year, like the proverbial green bay tree. The prin cipal reason la perhaps to be found in the fact that he Is always honest with his public His sincerity hot only as to his own art, but in the matter of pro duction has earned him a reward well worth working for. "The Wheel of Love" Is by George V. Hobart, author of a lot of successful things, including the present vehicles of May Irwin and Lillian Russell. It is not a great play by any means, but it interests and amuses. There are no really big moments and the laugh Is uppermost all the time. It is described as an auto mobile drama, but the gasoline machine plays really a very small part in its scheme. .It has one act laid in the cow country, the last, . the preceding ones being in and around New York. There are conflicting claims to extensive cattle ranches in Texas, fqr which prop erties the star and hi fiancee are the principal opposing claimants without each other's knowledge. Mr. Gilmore appears as a breezy young "Westerner with a slang vocabulary longer than the moral law. a penchant for autos, and a lot of good sense and nerve. He, of course, wins his battlo in the end and all is merry as a marriage bell can make this mel ancholy mundane sphere. The young star is a light comedian of a high order of ability and his work in the few serious passages serves to dis play his customary versatility. As one friend to another "I would suggest, how ever, to Mr. Gilmore that the chapps which he wears in the last act are en tirely too new to make a hit in Texas "down by the Rio Grande." One hour on the hurricane deck of a mustang would alter their appearande' entirely. . Mr.. Gilmore' s song at the opening of the last act was very well received, and at the close of' the second act he was called out for a speech, to which he re sponded most happily. The sunrise effect at the beginning of the third act was a beautifully effective accomplishment on the part of the electricians and scenic artists. The Gilmore support is in most re spects satisfactory,- the performance given by William Louis as the hulking cow-puncher being second only to that of tho star. Louis is an actor whose acquaintance is a genuine pleasure. Paul Gilmore in "The Wheel of Love" is well worth seeing and will doubtless attract lare audiences. There will be a matinee Saturday.

Moure Says Self-Help Is Only Means Whereby Men May Iniprove Condition. "The Cause and Cure of Poverty" was the subject of the sermon at the Metho dist Church South last night, whose services are held in Foresters' Hall. Rev. K. H. Mowre characterized pre ventable poverty as a disgrace, and said optimism would do much to better the condition of the poor. The sermon in part follows: A large part of the poverty of the worid Is a disease, the result of ages of bad living, bad thinking and of sinning. There i no disgrace In unpreventable pwerty. The disgrace ig in not doing our level best. What we denounce is nreventable poverty; that which is due to vicious living. to slovenly, slip-shod, systemless work, to Idling and dawdling. Most men are living only a small per centage' of their real ability Into action. Most of us are holding ourselves down with dis-couragintc. depressing thought, talk and actions. What we need is a new hope, more ppiimism. a new life motive. A more hope ful, cheerful outlook" would probably In cre;ie our earning capacity. If we poor people would turn our backs on dark and discouraging environment and face the light; awd if we would resolve that we are done with poverty and the listless, half-hearted existence that wo are thrusting ut-on our fHlow-incn, and would face the realities of lite with a stern determination to succeed, how soon would we realize the truth of the eld .adape: "The gods heip them who help themselves." We hear a great deal about caDital vs. labor. Some- have said: "Let us divide Yverythirg evenly so all "will share alike. That will solve the nrohh?m of poverty." If lite money? of all the world were divided up. every man. woman and child -would ret-elv almut JV.'OO. Some think much a process would brine the millennium. On (he contrary. If such a distribution were made tmlay, I am convinced that within thive months we should aeain have seccess ful merchants, farmers, artisans and lead ers in all of the professions, and within the name thre months we would have another crop of "Weary Willies." who would sleep in hartif. hay-stacks and police stations, pit ad inn for another level. nR-up process, so that ail men would hsvt an eciuaJ chanco. W hen we make up our minds that we are don with poverty forever, that w are go ing to erase every trace of it from our dress, ouf personal appearance, our man ners, our con-eraiion and 'our actions, and that we have et our faces toward letter tilings and that nothing on earth can turn us away from ir resolution, we will be amazed to see how much power will come from this increased confidence and self 'respert Slf-reliance and a manly inde pendence are f ouudatioa-stones In a strong character. Confidence is the Napoleon In the mental army. It doubles and trebles the power of all other faculties. The whole mental fOrws wait until confidence leads the way. t'oii rage horn of self -con tldenee is the power w hieh brings ou the last ounce of reserve for Every man should be a . man of business. Poverty In itself Is not so bad as is the thougnt of poverty. It is the conviction that we are poor, and must remain so, that is fatji). It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheer fnl attitude of mind that wins. Optvmism is a ".uccess-builder. Pessimism is an achievement -killer. As- long as we radiate doubt and discouragement we will be fail ures. If we want to get away from pov ertv we must keep our minds in a produc tive .creative stat?. We must see a new world before we can live in it. The miracles of ctvillsaticn havben performed by men and women who believed in themselves and in God. Resume Work on City Hall. WAI-aLA WALLA, Wash..

Joly Howard Russell MadameDuffrene Louise Kent Toto Mamie Haslam Rosa Bonne. ... Mlna Crolius Gleason Nathalie Myra Gilson Alice Morel Hilda Graham Lelotte Maribcl Seymour Zaza Miss Izetta Jewel BY JOHX J. HARRISOX. ITY K is that Mies Izetta Jewel could u not nave been given a more whole some play than "Zaza" as a medium through which to show a Portland audi ence, in the final week of her present engagement, the scope of her powers as an artist. Much has been written con cerning this Frenchified drama, and the time has come when to attack- it is to proclaim oneself puriianical or mawkish ly sensitive to violations of the propri eties and rules of decent living. Proof of this fact was furnished yesterday at the Baker Theater when the audiences at the two performances filled the house to the highest seat in the balcony. Probably every one in. those audiences had either seen the play before or knew of it by hearsay, and to accuse those who saw it yesterday of relishing a story founded on the temporary reformation of a woman of the underworld would simply call for the curling of many lips and scowls in plenty. There is another way to look at the thing, too: Life among the frivolous creatures who live in thoughtless gaiety under an easy code of morals is not pretty to see glaring and staring one in the face, no matter how attractive it may be to some people in its reality. The story of Zaza and her treatment by her lover, "a married man, is one to make a decent man blush for his sex. And yet theaters are crowded whenever the play is put on. Most of the requirements of the lead ing role give a talented actress opportu nities to display her talent in all the emotions, from light-hearted happiness on through jealous rage to despair. Miss Jewel is best in her coy and graceful love scenes, though she rises to a perfect storm of frenzy when the cup of prom ised contentment ' is dashed away. Robert Homans makes Bernard Duf frene just the sort of chap-a woman -of Zaza's early training would be attracted to without counting on the cost or condi tions imposed. His greatest, bit of act ing is in the famous scene when Zaza tells him of her visit to his home and lies to him about her talk with his wife. Both Mr. Homans and Miss Jewel do that scene' most admirably, and in the preceding act, when the poor girl comes face to face with the child, Toto. it were hard to conceive of better dramatic work than the leading woman does. The prat tle of the innocent child does much to redeem a pfray which, without it, would be almost entirely void of even a' sem blance of moral teaching. Donald Bowles never made such a suc cess in makeup as in his character of Cascart, and by the same token he never did better acting. Mrs. Gleason in the exaggerated character for which proba bly Belasco Is responsible, toned it down to reasonable proportions, and makes the bibulous old aunt a possibility. Janies CJlcason is capital as the broken-down tragedian. anoV the ''behind-the-scenes" people act to the life it would be singu lar if they didn't. Earl Dwire. William Gleason. Miss Kent and other members of the company do their work with customary care. Another reference is due. Miss Jewel. She wears perfectly stunning gowns and wears them well. "Zaza" will hold the boards . the rest of the week. Way Out West" at The Star WITHOUT saying more than the merit of the play, th work of the company and fhe manner of the stage production deserve, it is to be truthfully said that "Way Out West," as presented at the Star theater this week by the R. E. French Stock Company, is one of the best things seen in Portland, either in stock on "on the road." in many a day. The play is cast with St. George Dag jenn In the dual character of twin brothers; Charles Burnison as the post chaplain; George Berry as the colonel; D. M. ' Henderson as the lieutenant, who is 'not a gentleman; Charles Conners as a Hebrew gumseller: Frank Seaward as a bad Indian: Dorothy Davis as the Colo nel's wife: Eva, Earle-French as . the twins mother: Kathleen Taylor as t"he parson's young daughter, and Leah La Force as the blind Indian girl. Mr. French said a few weeks ago that he believed his patrons would enjoy and appreciate a higher-class drama tha'n is customarily seen in popular-priced melo drama houses. He is evidently trying an experiment this week in putting on a play that two or three road companies having been trying to secure for some time and which would be a credit to the repertoire of any theatrical company in the country. The title Is slightly mis leading, for the story is that of life at an army post in the West at the time of an Indian uprising and the Cowboy character is incidental. While the Inter est in the development of the plot never lags, the blood and thunder element is almost entirely eliminated, the Indian fighting being suggested, but is as real as though witnessed. The twin brothers are as much the center of attraction as were the "Oorsiean Brothers" done some years ago by Robert Mantell. and the en tire piece ts quite as entertaining. The plot of the play is at all times reasonable and must be seen to have its best points brought out. There Is a good line of comedy running through and Mr. French has evidently spared no expense in dressing the play and furnishing some of the best sets obtainable. Without exception the company does painstaking and Intelligent work, though Mr. Daglenn must be given special men tion for presenting his dual part most admirably. Mr. Henderson Is also de serving of mention, as is also Mr. Burni son and Mr. Conners. Leah La Force made of the blind Indian girl a strong character, and the other women of the company did their usual good work. It would be no surprising thing if the Star patrons would insist oh another week's run .of "Way Out West." for it is sure to draw well all this week. WRITES OPINION IN .SLEEP Remarkable Story of Authoritative Judicial Document. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., March 1. A remarkable story has just come to light here of an opinion of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, affirming the death sen tence of Andrew Smith, colored, in 1S70. The opinion was written by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court when he was in a somnambulistic stp, and the remarkable thing was that his opinion was thoroughly sound, both as to the law and the facts, arsd is one of the reported opinions, being printed as an authority to this day as to the technical law point involved. Justice . Xieholson was the man who wrote the opinion, and Peter Turrcey, af terward Governor of Tennessee, saw him arise from his bed, write the lengthy document and again retire. Next, day Jimtice Xieholson had no recollection of the incident. The elaborate opinion cov ered all the facts 'cited and ended with an affirmation of the court below. Let ters from the late Governor Turney. in the poshsession of one of Chattanooga's most prominent -attorneys, corroborates the foregoing story. BAD RECORD OF CRIME Spokane Official Says America ! V Leads in Homicides. SPOKANE, Wash., March 1. (Special.) "In proportion -.to population, the New England States have twelve times as many homicides as does the -city of Lon don. The State of California has 76 times hs many and in the whole nation there are 120 homicides each year to each mil lion of people. . . j Those startling figure's were cited by j United States District Attorney A. G. , Avery in a speech at an alumni banquet Saturday night. He was speaking on "Good Citizenship." and introduced the statistics as an illustration of present- uay lnanrerence id eumnniicriii. m hits law in this country. "Great Britain and Canada." he said, "have between nine and thirteen homi cides to each million of people. In this country but two people are .punished for every hundred homicides, while in Ger many the percentage is 90 and in other European countries between 50 and 80. Partly as a result of the laxity in pun ishment, the number of homicides in this country in 1906 was four and one-half times as rreat as In 18SL Mr. Avery ascribed the small number of criminals punished as due to indiffer ence on the part of the public in regard to enforcement of the law. amounting often to disrespect of statutes. He re ferred briefly to a petition signed some time ago by 150 Spokane firms asking the Mayor to disregard the Sunday clos ing 'ordinance as an example of disre gard and disrespect for the law. FRENCH LOSSES ARE HEAVY Madakra Tribes Put Up Fierce Fight Lasting All Day. PARIS. March 1. Advices received to day from General d'Amade, commander of the French forces in Morocco, report another furious fight with the Madakra tribesmen, which lasted from S o'clock in- the morning until nightfall, tue French losing 11 men killed and 36 wounded. ' " The French expedition had not pene trated far into the country when it was attacked with the greatest fierceness by hordes of tribesmen, both mounted and on foot, which kept the French troops at bay throughout the day. At one time the French cavalry was surrounded by the enemy, but the troopers succeeded in cutting their way out by a most brilliant charge. The Madakras eventually showed signs of fatigue and were beaten off. A column of French troops pushed the advantage and gave vigorous pursuit for a distance of several miles, inflicting se vere losses on the enemy.

Watchward or 'Xo Crop in 100S" Must Be Obeyed, Under Threat of Dire Punishment by "Riders LEXINGTON,- March 1. W. B. Haw kins, the man who originated the to bacco growers movement five years ago and who was the first president of the Burley Tobacco "Association, tomorrow will publish & card, a warning to grow ers of their probable fate if they disobey the ultimatum of the Equity Society on the crop of 190S. The substance of the warning follows: When your plant-bed is scraped or your barn burned, send to Governor Willson and he -will let you have a battalion of soldiers and a gatlins gun to protect your property and maybe save you from a whipping. There is an old saying, 'i do not care to buy a lawsuit." Do you care to buy trouble in this way, by flying in the face of public opinion and also in the face of determined men who believe you their- worst enemy and who will top at nothing to right their supposed wrongs? The majority has said, "No crop in 1!H8." "What will you do, sow your beds and begin a year of torment, for it will be ;K3 days of hell ?rr you. sleepless nights, alarm at every noise? What are riders doing now? Are they only scraping plant-beds, or are they after my barn, or, oh. horrors! are they after my back with their damnable switches? Do not suggest to youreelf -a delusion and say, Tt won't come to me." Hasn't it come to the hin8? Flee from the wrath to come, for if you plant tobacco you are sowing a whirlwind. Muttering and mumbling are heard on all sides, and he outraged farmers will not stand persecution always; and I say to you that in my opinion trouble will come to you if you plant a crop m IftOR.

A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lne ap pyed over old or new linoleum or oil cloth will double Its life, by preserving the original coat of varnish, which would otherwise soon be washed or worn oft. WEATHER-BEATEN front doors are revlved.and beautified when coat ed with Jap-a-Iac, and "newness fol lows th brush." It is best to use the color, nearest that of the old finish. WINDOW AND DOOR screens should be coated with Jap-a-lac each Spring, using the brilliant Black on the wire, and the Mahogany, Oak, Cherry or Walnut on the frames.. It gives them new life and the wire cloth is protected from rust. PORCH FURNITURE should be protected and beautified each Spring with Jap-a-lac. It Is best to use the color of the old finish: but if you wish to change the color, use Red or Green Jap-a-lac WICKER FURNITURE coated with Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malachite Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac looks better than new. WATER PIPES, furnace fronts, ra diators, hot-water tanks and Iron fences are preserved and beautified with the use of Jap-a-lac. " Use the Gold, Aluminum, Dead Black or Bril liant Black. PICTURE FRAMES, candelabra, gas fixtures, lamps, etc.. given a coat of Gold, Aluminum or Dead' Black Jap-a-lac are renewed almost beyond belief; the Dead Black produces that beautiful wrought-lron effect. OLD ' AUTOMOBILES, carriages, wagons, agricultural Implements, etc.. Jap-a-lac-ed with . either Brilliant Black, Red, Green or E.mplre Blue, look 100 per cent better and are given new life. The cost Is nominal, and the work can be done by an Inexperi enced person. JAP-A-LAC is a household neces sity, and can be used in a hundred and one .ways, from "cellar to garret," and Is especially adapted for finishing old or new floors and woodwork.
