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

terday at the Empire, will undoubtedly
not be disappointed. The snares which

Kirl are. portrayed in a convincing and
thrilling manner.,

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.

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.

SHCULD THINK PROSPERITY
OPTIMISM GREAT REMEDY FOR
POVERTY.
Ir. 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.

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.

LEXINGTON,- March 1. W. B. Haw

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 substance of the warning follows:
When your plant-bed is scraped or your

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

at every noise? What are riders doing

or are they after my barn, or, oh. horrors!
are they after my back with their damnable

HERE TO GET THE CAR
0 At Intersections of Lines Gars Will Stop to Take on
Passengers Before Grossing Tracks.
q STREET CAES will no longer stop at both sides of a street
at the intersection of two carlines, requiring passengers to take
.the car on the NEAR side of the street that is, where the car
stops before crossing the track. Where cars swing into another
street, AT INTERSECTIONS OF OTHER LINES, they will stop
for passengers only before making the turn.
U For example, westbound Washington-street cars will take on
passengers at Fifth street in front of the Perkins Hotel and will
not stop at the Northwest corner, as in the past. T
At such intersections as Sixteenth and Washington streets,
west-bound passengers will board the car on the East side of Six
teenth street; east-bound passengers will board the Sixteenth
street car on Sixteenth street before rounding curve, ' or will
board the Portland Heights car, or Twenty-third-street car, on the
West side of Sixteenth and Washington streets.

USEFUL HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
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. Ask
your paint dealer.
