Mayor Simon and members of Hie City Council ar united in tile belief that Port land must have a new, modern City Jail, Municipal Court, police headquarters anil rmerRriioy hospital building, and this will probably be built In the immediate future. The Council ways and means committee. J efterduy afternoon, voted a recommenda tion to the Council that the Executive Board be authorized and. requested to sel?ct a site for the building, and to fur nish a design and all necessary data, with the cost of the whole undertaking, and to send the facts to the Council at the earliest poft-ible date. While some differ In their opinion as to where the new municipal building should be located. It is generally believed it will be placed on the site of the present City Jail building, at Second and Oak streets. A proposition has been made to the Coun cil to purchase a strip 26x95 feet. ad Joining on the north the property on which the present structure is located. This Is controlled by J. A. Taylor, who has offered it to the city for $60,000: or he will trade the ground to the city for the rights in the Stark-street slip on the river on even terms. This matter has not been discussed officially. but when Mayor Simon was Informed of the price asked for the properly on Second street, he said that it la too high. "'I am heartily In favor of a new build ing for the police headquarters. Muni cipal Court, emergency hospital and City Jail." said Mayor Simon, when asked for his views on the matter. "Portland must have this improvement; w cannot get along without it any longer. It Is a shame to have such an old, worn-out, dilapidated thing for human use as that building the police, are now housed in. Tht was one of the few things I upoke about prior to my election, and I intend to build the new structure right away." It has been discovered that there will probably be enough money In the gen eral fund to build this new structure and lo a crematory, and it is thought that these two needed improvements can be bad without the sale of any bonds, but the Mayor declanes that both will be built, and if It is necessary to sell part or all of the crematory bonds, that he win sanction the sale, as he declares the city cannot longer go without either of the projected buildings. Members of the Council ways and mans committee spoke very stronglv in favor of a new municipal building. Councilman Wallace finally moving that the Council pass a resolution, requesting the Execu tive Board to furnish the necessary data, and to select a site for the building at the earliest possible date. The Council will undoubtedly art upon this recom mendation tomorrow: the Executive Board will meet FYirtay afternoon and the mat ter will thus be promptly taken up and the project carried forward rapidly. The present City Jail has for years been the subject or severe criticism on the municipal administration. Numerous rand juries have censured it in strong terms, and many attempts have ben made by various regimes to Improve the situation, but never with anv success The building is too small for the needs of the city, and the conditions under which th Police Department is run greatly cripple Its efficiency, it being impossible to properly house the officers, and fhe Municipal Courtroom Is not nearly large enough to accommodate the court requirements-. The detective bureau was re cently moved Into rented rooms In an adjoining building because of lack of room in the city's structure. DAY'S PISTOL BLUFFS MOB j Sleuth Points Weapon as He Man ! acles Alleged rickpocket. J Detective Day held a crowd of circus j men at bay yesterday afternoon -with a , cocked revolver, while he placed flie manacles with his free hand on John i Pcullln. an alleged noted pickpocket, at I V' Wa,1,,-Hasnbeck circus grounds. This action followed an attempt on the part of a crowd to wrest the prisoner from the sleuth. Two reports of clever pocket plcklne w'?. '"P0''"-! to the police Sunday night, and Detectives Day and Snow -were assigned to the cases. They sought out the circus grounds under the theory that the "dip" would at tempt operations there in the crowds yesterday afternoon. Scullln. whose picture is prominent In the rogues- gallery, was shadowed during the early part of the dav after n had been found at the circus grounds. When Detective Dav arrest ed him. a circus plledrlver attempted to wrest the prisoner from the detec tive.

T is a difficult thing to discover nov elty, in a trained animal show nn I sometimes one is inclined to wonder what else Is left ' for the trainers to do in teaching their dumb pupils. The answer is to be found at the Orpheum this week in Sam Watson's Farmyard Circus. There is full Justification for saying that this, is one of tile most entertaining exhibitions of its kind Portland has seen. . Sam Watson' is an English expert, a fat, kindly Johnny-Bull-looking person, and he knows his business thoroughly. His educated' scholars include a donkey, a number of fascination dogs, a surpris ingly Intelligent cat. a pair of geese, a lamb of the genuine Mary variety and lastly a trained pig. of much interest. These remarkable animals give an exhi bition that cannot fail but be popular during the week. It's a ' genuine hit. 'Trimmed"' is a clever sketch.-set In a manicure shop, in which Madge Pierce Bruce Brayton. Albert Pelers and Will iam McKey appear advantageouslv. It is a funny little farce and is assuredly calculated to please. By all rights the third number in point of interest on the programme is , the clever clowning of GrifT. an English music ball star of established reputation, who is a real humorist. He is a rare delight Two talented girls, Elizabeth Banks and Bernlce Breazeale have a beautiful and dainty musical act. in . which the principal feature is Miss Banks' cornet work.

Grand. "HE headline attraction this week at the Grand is Eva Mudge, a light ning change artist who has appeared with success here and abroad, and who without doubt breaks the record - for quick changes. The stage represents an army camp to which Miss Mudge appears In the guise of a lieutenant. From an 'officer to a Red Cross nurse she evolves in four seconds, the same rapid-fire changes marking the numer ous characters she portrays. She also sings and recites according to the peo ple she impersonates. "Mrs Flotter's First" is a farce pre sented by Mac M. Barnes, Louise Rem Ing and Robert W. Graham, which tells in an entertaining way of a woman who is eternally telling her second hus band of the virtures of her first. The Telegraph Four, are a quartet of boy singers who. make good in a stunt, com prising nonsense, singing and dancing. Sados gives a comical Juggling act and introduces some novelties, while Carita Day and her dancing Georgia boys, of an unbleached muslin tvpe of complexion, find instantaneous favor by their clever dancing. Rae and Brosche appear In a merry comedy skit "Just Like a Woman."

MI99 LOUISE KENT, former favorite with the Baker Stock Company, who recently forsook the legitimate ror vaude ville, appeared yesterday in a sketch at the Pantages. and received a veritable ovation. Miss Kent, in conjunction with William V. Mong - and Donah Benrlmo (the latter in private life is Mrs. Walter Reed), give in a breezy manner a clever playlet,' called "Sold." of which Miss Kent is author. The sketch abounds with bright lines and has the novelty of -an original theme. Both Donah Berino .and Miss Kent appear in hand some gowns, the latter in particular wearing a stunning creation of a hat laden with willow plumes that must have materially depleted the stock of the Pasadena Ostrich farm. A number of recalls and quantities of flowers testl-.t- the heartiness of the reception. The Naples Quartet, xqlophone artists, in a number of semi-clasical selections I?,. J"aJy favor, as did the White City. Four, a quartet with pleaeing voices. "Huntress" a female imper sonator, gives wo impersonations, the stage representing a dressing-room in wnich he does his makeup in full view of the audience. His impersonation of Blanche Ring was not of tremendous merit, but his Lola Fuller dancing, to the accompaniment of spectacular light ing and scenic effects was particularly gorgeous, and among the most artistic that has been shown in a local play house. The Prentice troupe, a quintet of acrobats give a difficult and entertain ing tumbling and balancing act inter mingled with eccentric comedy. AILINGJUilLLS SELF H. Jj.
