TIIE MORXISG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1910. LONDON'S HISTORY WILL BE REPEATED Great Pageant Planned to Be Central Feature of Festival of Empire in Summer. OEEGON AGRICTTLTXJRAIj COLLEGE PICKS ORATORS TO REPRESENT IT IN DEBATING CONTESTS. 15,000 PEOPLE TO APPEAR "oted Historians to Aid in Making Celebration One of Most Notable Events of Modern Times 2 4 Scenes Are Planned. LONTON Feb. 2. 'Special.) One of the most picturesque events of the com ing year will be the historical pageant of London, which i to be the central fea ture of the "Festival of Empire," at the Crystal Palace in the Summer. After months of careful research by a com mittee, over which G. Laurance Gomme. the clerk of the London County Council, a distinguished antiquary,.- presides, the full list of scenes has now been com pleted. These have been handed over In rough form to Frank Lascelles. master of the pageant, who will he responsible .for thlr arrangement, having two his torians to guide him in the details. Mr. leasee lies, it will be recalled.- produced most successfully the Canadian pageant for the Quebec Tercentenary celebra tions. More than one idea that will contribute to the success of the undertaking has fceen borrowed from "Wagnerian opera. The pageant to be produced at the Crys tal Palace Is to be in 24 scenes, arranged in a cycle of three series, after the Wag nerian method. A cloud or steam cur tain, will be used to close each scene. In All no fewer than 15,000 persons will par ticipate inv the display. Pageant to Start Early. Opening with the dawn of history, the pageant will first present a scene of prehistoric London, with the great, forest to the north. King Lud, the legendary founder of the city, is the only charac ter staged, for whose authenticity no re sponsibility is taken. Afterwards come the Romans, who lay the true founda tions of Londinlum. It is shown under two phases by the sacrifice offered, to IMana, and then by a picture of the later Roman age, when Christianity had been introduced, and the strategic importance of the capital came to be realized, and its fortifications undertaken. Baion London is to. be reconstructed, a striking incident bdng the meeting of the citizens in the "folkmoot." The Dan ish invasion provides perhaps the most dramatic scene In the pageant. The river up which the Vikings sailed cannot be brought to the Crystal Palace, but the lakes In the grounds will be utilized, and spectators will witness London Bridge break in the middle, and the defenders hurled into the water. The scene closes with the passing of the dead Olaf up the river. King Harold marches out towards the south to meet William of Normandy, after - which the Conqueror enters with his army, mediaeval sports, and a brilliant scene depicting a tournament in Cheap side before Edward the Third and Queen PhiUppa, axe later stages of London life with which part one closes. History of Xatlon Shown. Very picturesque will be the ride of Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrims, with which the succeeding part opens. For a civic pageant typical of the most extrav agant and luxurious period of English history, Charles Rocketts has been In vited to design the costumes. Wat Ty ler's rebellion furnishes some stirring scenes; then King Henry the Fifth re turns from Agincourt, with all the op portunities for military display which such an event affords. The close of the Wars of the Roses is shown by the return of King Henry the Beventh after the defeat and ieath of Richard at Bosworth Field. Then the dawn of the era of great discoveries, the "Merrie England" of the early years of Henry the Eighth's reign, and the gor geous days of Great Elizabeth which fol low, are all to be presented in turn. In its later history London becomes more drebp but there is yet a strong ap peal to be made through the eye. The third and concluding part of the pageant, leaving Shakespeare and his players at the Globe Theater to be accurately repre sented will indicate the foundation of the East India Company, with the return of Captain Lancaster. The central episode in the subsequent beginnings of Empire will be found in the connection of Vir ginia and the new Colony with Che City, exemplified by the masque given in honor of Princess Pocahontas, the famous In dian princess who was married to an Eng lishman. Plague and fire depict the passing of old London, and with closing scenes of th capture of Quebec and the death of Wolfe snd Montcalm, of Captain Cook leaving Teptford on an expedition to the South Seas, end of the passing of Napoleon, the pageant comes to an end with an alle gorical tableau depleting "the gathering of the colonies round the Mother Country."

The Public Prosecutor attached to the Third Crimi nal Court in this city, announced yester day, that probably on February 3 he would formulate hia opinion containing a re quest for sentence or acquittal of James A, Cook. American conductor who has been held in the Jailisco State Peniten tiary for five months, charged with con tributory negligence in connection with freight train robberies on the Guadala jara division of the National Railways. Papers In the Cook case were deliv ered to the Public Prosecutor for review two months ago after Judge Palafo of this Third Criminal Court had spent three months taking evidence. Cook, mean while, it Is said, has been unable to re ceive any information concerning hia trial and has not been taken to the courtroom since September, when he ver ified his own testimony given a day or two previously. Cook ts confined in the holdover "de partment of the' penitentiary, which al ways is crowded with several hundred Mexicans of the lowest type awaiting ac tion of the courts. He is in an extremely nervous condi tion, but otherwise is in good health and declares he has been treated with con sideration by his immediate guards and jailers. His meals are sent to him reg ularly from the depot restaurant and he has sufficient clothing. The Guadalajara division of the Order of Railway Conductors has been advised that the grand division of the organiza tion at Cedar Rapids, la., has remitted $500 in gold to liquidate lawyer's fees and printing bills, with the stipulation that none of that sum was to be used In paying Cook's board. Cook's name is being carried on the list of the regular conductors by offi cials of the National Railways and he will be entitled to resume service as a passenger conductor as soon as he is re leased. Four Mexican brakemen, arrested a few days before Cook was, are still im prisoned, but, like their conductor, have not been sentenced.

Jo seph George, of Newcastle, Eng.. a sailor on a British ship which arrived at Port Richmond with a cargo of iron ore, was a prisoner before Magistrate Scott in the Central Police Court, the charge against him being drunkenness. The accused de clared with considerable emphasis that It was the first time he had been In this city and that he was unaware of the pen alty for getting 'drunk. Magistrate Scott told him it was a very serious matter and George replied that the whisky taken by him must have been very strong, for he could not remember how he got to the lockup and thought when he opened his eyes in theT morning that he was still in his ship. I will have to take my punishment.' said George, "but I want to get back to my ship." He was very nervous and had no money and Judge Scott told him he would have to undergo a severe penalty.

Council Crest Observers Knjoy Long Sight of Visitor Professor Dan iels Describes It Other Cities See Star. Comet "A-1910" was visible from the four corners of Portland Tuesday nijrht. this general view probably - being made pos sible by the startling revelation that the luminary's tail seemed to be double its original length. The comet appeared at 6:4r o'clock and was visible until 7:30 o'clock, hundreds observing it from Coun cil Or est and thousands gazing upon it from the downtown streets and from porches and windows in every part of the city. At 7 o'clock the comet shone its bright est although at no time did the visitor shine as radiantly as It did Friday night at its first appearance- here. It appeared about 15 degrees north of Venus and about five degrees higher in the heavens than that star. Professor Daniels of the Hill Military Academy, who was among the Council Crest stargazers, saye "brilliancy" is not properly applied to comet "A-1910." its radiance being more like the gleam of bluish steel, a characteristic of man)' of the fixed stars. Professor Daniels says "the stranger stealing into our solar system" will remain within the range of vision for the next eight or ten days. Binoculars Not Needed. "Together with many others I went to Council Crest to obtain a view of Comet A-1910. and I was truly well rewarded." said Professor Daniels. "Binocular In hand. I had to scan the heavens In the well known direction of Comet A-1910 for five or ten minutes before discovering the tiny nebulous form that afterward developed into great length and breadth and became easily discernable to the un aided eye. "As the sun descended the entire comet came out of the depths and presented the appearance of a glow of bluish steel, triangular in form and developing from an insignificant nebulous spot to a streak of mild and Indefinitely defined light. K "Because of its great velocity and the direction of its motion almost directly from the earth its light has decreased sensibly in a few days. Since Friday it has moved from us more than 25,000.000 miles and yet its immense body occupies a ribbon of the heavens about 20 de grees in length. In width expanding to six or seven degrees at the upper ex treme of Its tail. The comet is nowhere sharply outlined and is best seen with the unaided eVe, viewing it as a whole. It has not at Iny time merited the term brilliant,- such phrases as 'burning.' 'im parting additional light to Venus,' and the like, being not only inappropriate but untrue. It presents not the slightest semblance of color other than the pale blue characteristic of many of the fixed stars. Rocket Good Comparison. "The simile made by Mr. Duchamp. who compared the comet to a descending rocket, could not be improved upon if the rocket be divested of all Its glare and reduced to a faint streak of blue. Mr. Duchamp. of the Crept observatory, said the comet, as it appeared last night, was almost Identical with its appearance Friday night, save that the tail seemed to be twice as long and the entire body had lost much of Its former brilliancy, probably due to the greater distance from the earth. Albany also had its second view of the comet last evening the luminary being visible there for an hour. At Seaside, residents boasted of gazing upon the comet for several hours. Goldendale, Wash., reports seeing the comet three times, the third appearance bejng re corded la6t night, when the luminary was visible there for more than an hour. Greek last night. Pending his arraign ment in court the youth is held on the charge of threatening to kill. Indirectly, John Marandan. also a Greek and uncle of Drulias. caused his arrest. Marandan is a saloon proprietor, at 29 North Sixth street. Several days ago he received a threatening letter from his nephew. The missive, written in Greek, conveyed the information to the saloonlst that his life would be endangered should he appear on the street. Various motives for the direction of the letter to Marandan were hinted by the author. Apparently the threatening epistle was snt because of some petty grievance maintained by the sender against his uncle, although through the lines of the rambling Greek chirography, the down fall of a sister of Marandan was broadly intimated. Upon receiving the letter by a mes senger, Marandan turned it over to the police. Detectives Coleman and Snow were placed on the trail of the author. After -an all-day search for him yester day they overtook him at Fourth and Davis street last night and placed htm under arrest. PASTOR ACCUSED, RESIGNS Kev McKendree A. Casey, of Ta eoma, Withdraws From Ministry. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 2. (Special) Rev. McKendree A. Casey, pastor of the First Methodist Church here, and known to many as "Sunshine Casey," because of his always cheery smile, has withdrawn from the ministry. He is now somewhere in California, and re cently forwarded his letter of with drawal and ordination parchment to Rev. Thomas Elliott, superintendent of the T a co ma district, . That rr. Casey is no longer a clergy man is due to the fact that charges have been preferred against hitn by three prominent Everett business men, members of the official board of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Everett, of whioh Or. Casey was pastor prior to being assigned to Tacoma at the September, 1908, conference. The charges have to do with Dr. Casey's re lations with a young woman of Everett whose love and complete confidence he had gained, despite his being a married man.

The Mathematical Mind. Buffalo (X. Y.) Commercial. The late Lewis Carroll, author of "Alice In Wonderland." used to tell this story to illustrate the average mathe matician's contempt for poetry: "In the course of an argument about poetry with an instructor in trigonom etry he gave the Instructor Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade' to read. " 'There, read that." he said, 'and if you don't find It fuU of beauty, ril give in." "The instructor sneered. looked at the page and began to read: " 'Half a league, half a league, half a league " "Then he threw down the book. "'If the fool means a league and a half." lie snorted, 'why can't he say so?' " COMET GAS TO ENVELOP EARTH Astronomer Says Vaporous Tail Touches Us May 19. NEW TORK. Feb. 2. Camille Flam marion, the French astronomer. In a letter published here today, says that the vaporous tall of Halley's comet will envelop the earth on May 19. "For several hours," he says, "we will be immersed in the gaseous caudal ap pendage whose chemical constitution Is still little known. The comet wilfc pass directly between the sun and the world at 2 o'clock in the morning of May 19. At that hour the Pacific Ocean will be in full daylight, while In France it will be night. Little danger may be expected, however, for the tail probably will be so rarified as to be Inoffensive." Despoiler of Awnings Caught at His Work by Special Policeman.

LOUIS Feb. 2--Comet A-1910 has a tail 4S degrees in length, and is rush ing away from the earth, according to Father C. H. Charroppin, astronomer at St. Louis University. The nucleus is diminishing in brilliancy, he says, and the nebulous matter about the nucleus has contracted, but the tail has grown to an enormous length. Father Charroppin believes the com et Is paying its first and last visit to the earth. He is now figuring out whether its path is an ellipsis or a par abola. If it is found to be elliptic, he believes the comet will visit the earth again in a few thousand years; other wise it will travel to some other star. He believes its patb is a parabola.

If he knows the real estate situation in ami around Portland his opinion and his advice to you would be the same as that of this Company, which is emphatically as follows : At present prices buy as much real estate in Portland as - your means will permit. If you can't buy a big tract buy a small one. If you can't buy two lots buy one. But BUY! The Northwest in general, especially Oregon, but Portland in particular, is on the eve of a tremen dous development. This is in no sense a "boom," but the consequence of natural, healthy conditions as they exist throughout an Empire of more than 250,000 square miles for which Portland is tha clearing-house and market place. This vast Empire produces the necessities of life. The demand for these necessities is increasing to a degree that almost defies imagination. Within a short time the State of Oregon will be pierced and traversed by railroads. The opening of this interior country will increase population, boost the price of acreage and vastly improve the State throughout its length and breadth. It all means that Portland now the most impor tant city in the Northwest is destined to become the metropolis of the Pacific. Coast and one of the chief centers of population in the United States. Our advice is to buy good real estate. The op portunities in and about Portland for splendid in crease in values during the next few years will he greater than anywhere else in America. Students of affairs, who are recognized as highest authority, are unanimous in this opinion. Buy real estate, but buy it. right.
