TOYSHOP GREAT HIT Child Actors Cover Themselves With Glory. Escaping Water Covers Down Town Pavements and Wets Feet. PERFORMANCE IS SMOOTH 10 MANY CELLARS INVADED Starting From Weakened Main at Tenth and Tavlor, Truant Flood Sweeps Retail District. Corroded and weakened by years of usage, a huge 20-inch water main at Tenth and Taylor streets burst late yes terday afternoon and, with -a nimble 'nd roar, the water swept away the few feet of earth above the pipe, gushing up ward like a giant geyser. The fountain rose to a height of sev eral feet above the ground, and, tumbling In its descent, rushed in a wild torrent through the down-town district, flooding streets and sidewalks alike to a depth o several inches, paralyzing business for half an hour or more i the shopping districts, inundating- cellars and causing damage which may reach into the hundreds. Many dwellings and busines houses will have no water connections today as a result. Incidentally it caused no end of fun for small boys and no end of annoyance to women. Throughout the streets it raced like a mountain torrent, driving men and women from the streets, fright ening horses and clogging the chugging wheels of automobiles. Seeking Its level, it poured down towards Washington and the lower streets and for a time even streetcar traffic was at a standstill. At Third and Washington the streets were impassable, while even portions of the sidewalks were under several inches of water. . Flood Carries Debris. From Seventh street to the river and from Morrison and certain portions of Yamhill to Stark, practically every street was for a time inundated. In some of those streets the murky floo. carried stones and debris In its path and rose to a depth of four and five inches. A mysterious feature of the flood was the appearance of fish on the streets. At Fifth and Morrison streets, for instance, three newspaper men were standing when the crest of the flood was passing. As they stood there a small boy, barefooted, was playing In the street. Suddenly the youngster shouted, then reached down into the water. He im mediately withdrew his hand, holding by the tail a small catfish, probably six Inches in length. Each of the newspaper men vouches as to the truth of this tale, but skeptics may easily ascertain that fish actually exist in the reservoir, and their wandering through the water mains of the city would be easy. Foaming and roaring as it rushed fron! the earth at Tenth and Taylor streets, the water found Its way in greatest vo. ume dotlm Taylor street to Park an Seventh.' It rushed In a torrent down those streets. while other adjacent streets were flooded. At Seventh and Yam hill the flood divided, reducing the force of the waters. It turned abruptly at Morrison from Seventh and at Sixtn from Yamhill. At Sixth end Morrison the branch floods. met again and, Joining their strength, plunged rapidly down td Fifth. Waters Clog Sewers. Down Morrison to Second and First the flood raced before it spent its' strength and down Sixth to Washing ton and Stark it poured its muddy way before it began to recede. So great was the volume and so powerful the current that sewers were clogged and only a faint ripple above told where the seething waters were trying to find an outlet. Into basements in private residences and business houses alike in the af fected district the waters rushed and telephone calls to the Water office in the City Hall were frantic and numer ous. Porters were set to work in the down-town stores to remove goods from the cellars and basements or raise them from the floor. . The basement of Woodard, Clarke & Co's. drugstore Fourth and Washing ton streets, was flooded and murky waters mingled with drugs and acids to an extent that will cause considera ble damage. In other stores similar losses were reported. Into several dwellings where dining-rooms and kitchens are on the basement floor, the water rushed, postponing dinner inde finitely and In one instance even ex tinguishing the fire in the kitchen stove. Meanwhile there was commotion at the Water office in the City Hall. Be tween answering telephone calls, ex plaining the situation and giving or ders to his lieutenants, Water Super intendent Dodge had little time to grasp the humor of the situation, if any existed. Tells Mayor ot Trouble. He took time, however, to hurry into the office of Mayor Lane to whom he explained that a 20-inch main at Tenth and Taylor streets had burst and the water was flooding the business sec tion of the city. Only one report of damage had been received up to that time, he said, and that was from the drug house of Woodard, Clarke & Co. at Fourth and Washington. Before explaining to the Mayor, how ever, he had sent men to the various points in the business section and they opened all possible outlets for the wa ter. Sewers were thrown open and pipes connected. It was fully 20 minutes before the water flowing through the broken main was cut off. The main was laid many years ago and is a remnant of the old and antiquated system. Be fore cutting off the water it was ne cessary to shut many gates in different sections of the system and that re quired time. However, It was Anally done and the flow of water stopped. Almost as quickly as it had appeared, the water on the streets disappeared. However, in Its wake, it left a slimy covering of mud on streets and side walks and the unexpected flushing the streets received was of infinitely more damage than many could have ima gined. A complete and thorough clean ing of all the streets inundated will be necessary immediately. ' , Repair Damage by Xoon Today. "So far as I could learn there was little damage," said C. Albertina, fore man of the city water works, last night. "Just how the break occurred or what caused It we cannot say at the present time. But you can say that the damage will have been repaired by noon tomorrow and everyone will have water by that time. "We have had men working on the break since it occurred and by noon tomorrow everything will be all right." Oregon Boy Chosen Professor, OREGON . AGRICULTURAL: COL DR. G. B.

SEATTLE, Wash., June 22. (Special.) United States Senator Samuel H. Piles, who returned from the National capital today, reiterated his intention to sup port Senator Levi Ankeny for re-election. "I intend to support Senator Ankeny's candidacy," he said, "and to make good the pledge I made three and a half years ago. I told Senator Ankeny of my plans and I told Congressman Jones I would support Air. Ankeny. Mr. Jones thoroughly understands the situation, and he has not offered any protest to me. I did not think anyone would even doubt my sincerity or raise any question about my plans for this Fall. I thought the people would understand that an obli gation to Senator Ankeny exists and would naturally expect me to support him."

Spring styles Hanan shoes at Rosenthal's Operetta at Hellig Theater for Ben. efit of Institute Club Draws Large and Fashionable AudlenceA BY CHARLES MBSSER STOW. Dolls. Big dolls, little dolls, wax dolls, rag dolls, tin dolls, wooden dolls dolls of all kinds, all stiff and ugly as is doll nature. Then, of a sudden, children. Big children, little children, all glowing with health, fun and happiness, all beautiful, all attractive, full of activity and the grace that belongs to childhood. This is the miracle that was wrought at the Hellig last night when the Toyshop was given in Portland for the first time. Imagine a shop full of toys, left pro saically by the toymaker when he goes home. Imagine on the stroke of 12 all the toys coming to life and full of fun. It is not hard to know what these toys will do. They try to have all the fun they can in the short time allotted to them. "Weren't you scared?" I asked a lit tle chap. "Course not," he said. "This Is too much fun." And it was fun, both for the children and for the audience that packed the the ater. It has been a round of fun all dur ing the refiearsals, which have been go ing on only for about two weeks, and when this is the spirit that controls a thing it is bound to be a success. Miss Margaret Martin has had the di recting of the production, and the chil dren love her and do what she tells them. This is one reason for its success. Miss Martin directed "The House That Jack Built," that was given here successfully last year. Mrs. A. E. Rockey and Mrs. W. E. Thomas have had charge of all the arrangements of the production, which is for the benefit of the Institute Club of the People's Institute, and their hard work and tactful efforts were an other contributing cause to the success. Those who took part in the operetta were so thoroughly imbued with the fun of the thing that they could not help but do well. It is hard to single out any for special mention. The old toymaker, J. A. McHolland, was good. He entered Into the spirit of the time and place and was an old toymaker to the letter. Win nie Lewis, who was the Paris doll, was not only pretty and sweet, as befitted the part, but was a surprise with her good acting. Cassie Hiller, the child, sang her song about loving the old doll best in a way that made the house very still for a minute. The little child who was chosen queen. Peggy Boyer, brought smiles with her winning ways. Captain Blocktin, Floyd Tarpley, and Captain Woodenhead, Gavin Dyott, drilled their soldiers and did military swaggers amid applause. The rag doll, Edwin Shevlin. and Johnny, George Biles, were very funny in their parts, while the baker, Gretchen Smith, got a round of applause for her song. Mrs. Minnie Dearborne-Schwab, as a Japanese maid en, made one of the hits In her cherry blossom song. The Teddy Bear .stunt . is new In the operetta, and made a big hit. The music for "The Toy Shop" s tuneful and above the average of some of the musical plays that have been seen here. Mrs. Jessie Gaynor wrote it, and F. F. Beale did the orchestra tion. The libretto Is by Alice C. D. Riley. It will be repeated twice today, and tomorrow afternoon. All children, big and little, are missing something if they do not see it.

A Gentleman Convict at the Lyric 99 LAST night at the Lyric the Blun-kall-Atwood stock company .pro duced' for the first time on any stage a new play by Charles Vernor Finlay, a popular member of the company, and a veteran actor of note. The piece, "A Gentleman Convict" is an Important addition to the drama of its kind. It is frankly melodrama, but on a higher plane than most melodramas. The plot ts consistently Interesting, at times becoming thrilling with Just a degree of sensationalism, which is always necessary to spice a play -written for those who demand stage ex citement. It affords Ervin J. Blunkall first-rate opportunities as a romantic loading man, and he plays the role of Ralph Raylelgh, sometime ensign in the British navy, afterward a wrongfully-accused convict, and always a gentleman. He succeeds in sustaining the reputation he has already won here a an interpreter ot difficult role. msim rfer AM fM$mm V 1131 TUC 'CALL OF .
