The feature bout of the evening -was between Clarence White, of Multnomah, anil Stanley McDonald, of the Catholics. "White was given the decision in the fourth round, although it was undoubt edly an even go, as McDonald easily had Jthe last round. - In the first rouond of this -bout honors 'were even. It was fast from the start 'w.nd both boys landed a few punches that were almost good for knockouts White was sent to the floor at the outset. White ended the second round with three stiff (rights to the Jaw and had a. "shade the Abetter" at the finish. In the third round McDonald worked his left upper-cut to rood advantage and had the round by a close margin. The round was declared A. draw, to the disapproval of most of the crowd, and a fourth round was nec essary. lie vis Wins Championship. The first card of the programme was (furnished by Bevis and' West, both of the Multnomah Club. This was a club -championship affair in the 117-pound class, and Bevls got the decision, on jpoints. West took the aggressive in the afirst round, but Bevls evened up at the Wnlsh and the round was an even go. In "the second Bevls used left and right crosses effectively and had the best of tthe bargain. Bevis also took the last tt-ound easily, using his left to great ad age, with an occasional right-hand Kross. ' Frankie O'Brien, the Catholic Club 118 gpound entry, .furnished the cleverest ex hibition on the programme when he easily bested Eddie Rose, of the Mult lomaha. In the first round of the Btnatcb. O'Brien was found but once and showed great class in his ability to dodge the attacks of his opponent. He used a Harlety of blows and the bout was his without a shadow of a doubt. J O'Brien continued his Slippery tactics In the second round and Rose seldom 'had a "look-in." The round ended all in O'Brien's favor. The third wasdeclared draw by the referee. In the fourth tRose did a little effective work toward the last, but O'Brien finished strong and took the bout. Joe Franta surprised the fans by glv 3ng Olmar Dranga, the Multnomah hampion lightweight, a hard run. Dran tga. won on his experience, but Franta chowed that he is a comer and that with Dranga's experience he would probably have won the bout. The first round was give-and-take and Dranga had a shade he better. The second round was easily ; Dranga'g and his opponent finished weak. Dranga took the final round, although he Ibad some difficulty. - About tho cleverest go of the evening as furnished by Hewitt and McCarl the Multnomah midgets, in the struggle for the club championship In the class. This was the rubber match, each having won r bout previously. Honors were even in the first round, McCarl had a shade in the second, and the third was even. The fourth was also a tie but was awarded to McCarl. because a decision had to be Kiven. Hewitt's punches were more effec tive on the whole than McCarl's. McCarl will-represent Multnomah in the Spokane neet next Friday. Wrestler Makes Debut. Nelson MMe, the wrestler, made his debut in the boxing ring in a go With Paul Struck at 133 pounds. He put up a pood exhibition but Struck was more ag gressive and the better dodger and took :the'match without great difficulty. Mose turned a flip-flop on the mat after the match. Lieutenant R. Sears, of Vancouver Bar :racks, and R. E. Buell, of Multnomah dub, furnished an interesting exhibition fcout In the heavyweight class. . Both men were fast and Buell displayed marks of a first-class mixer. The four rounds were all even and Sears was given the decision. - - The last match between t P. Brady, of the C. Y. M. C, and Butler of the M. A. A. C. was ludicrous in the first round nnd ended in a -surprise. This was iBrady's first appearance in the ring and (n the first round he was completely stage truck and allowed Butler to land on him elmost at will. In the second round, Ibowever, Brady collected himself and be came aggressive. He tore in, knocked his opponent down once and won the round to the great surprise of the fans. He continued in the same way in the Final round and was given the decision. The bout lacked science and Brady won because he forced the issue. The officials of the meet were: Referee, Ed Johnson; judges, Joe Smith and Mo iMieken. PAPER STRIKE SPREADING live Mills of International Company Feel Its Effects. CORINTH, N.

Hunt for Friendly Stork Leads to Arrest of Kind-Hearted Teamster, bat Quest Is Rewarded. . NEW YORK, March 11. Mabel Flem ing, daughter of Mrs. Oliver Fleming, of Jersey City, is 8 years old and so far back as she can remember she has wanted a baby brother. Her earnest effort to find and adopt one made a lot of work for the police of Jersey City and . of Newark and in cidentally brought unmerited disaster on John Wehner, a tender-hearted young man who drives a truck. He was driving his truck along the plank road between Jersey City and Newark when he overtook Mabel, who was trudging along the highway. She hailed him. "Mister," she said, "I am going to see my aunt in Newark. Tou'll give me a ride there, won't you?" "I'm going to Newark," said Weh ner, "climb in." When Newark was reached Mabel lost her recollection of her aunt's ad dress and she kept the tender-hearted truckdriver driving around Newark most of the afternoon in search of the aunt's residence. When it got dark Mabel confessed she was hungry and followed tlat confession with, another in which the surprised Wehner learned tthat there was no aunt and no baby brother. "But I do want a baby brother," Ma bel said, "and I made up that story about my aunt out of my head." She wouldn't tell where she lived in Jersey City, and all Wehner could do was to take her to his sister's house, where she was fed and put to bed. When Wehner's sister kissed the 'child good-night Mabel said she Intended to go out the first thing In the morning and find a nice baby brother she could adopt and ta'ke home with her. Weh ner went to a dance. In the meantime the police of Jersey City and Newark were looking for the runaway girl. They pieced out one bit of information with another and Weh ner was arrested, charged with abduc tion. . An hour later he had convinced ev erybody of his innocence and Mrs. Fleming had gone to Newark and taken Mabel home. The little run away's anxiety for a baby brother was so real that her mother made applica tion to Miss Frances Day, secretary of .the New Jersey Board of Guardians, for a boy of about 2 years old for adop tion. - $5600 IS ROBBERS' LOOT Three Paymasters of Coal Compa nies Held Up In Pennsylvania.

Henry Ashton Pietro Bunamelli Lucy. .Mme. Cecilia Tamanti Zuvaskl Edgar of Havenswood. Giovanni Nadal Norman ................... . . p. Elena. Raymond.... Alceste Mori Alice A.

Mori Messenger A Nerl BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. Trouble with certain male affinities was succeeded by pure love stories, yesterday, on the part of the Lambardi Grand Opera Company, playing, at the" Bungalow, Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammsrmoor" and Verdi's "Aida." The latter grand opera Is so far the great, surpassing success of the season, and the stage picture it pre sented to mind and eye will live a long time. Madame Zuvaskl, Madame Ade berto, Madame Dolores Frau and Signorl Nadal, Scalabrini and Saballlco were the chief song birds in the successes of the day. "Lucia di Lammermoor" is one of the good, old romantic operas that are waft ed to us from the parlor pianos and bar rel organs, and yet the sorrows of Lucia and her Edgardo never fail to arouse a sympathetic hearing. The opera was first produced at Naples, in 1835, with Madame Perslanl and Signor Duprez, for whom It was written, as Lucia end Edgardo, the master of Ravenswood, of Sir Walter Scott's novel, "The Bride of Lammer moor." . , "Lucia" is estimated- to be Donizetti's masterpiece, and although both libretto and music are tearful, yet they cannot be called dull, as the action is as tragic aa the most devoted student of that school could desire. Its famous Bextette is a real classic. Yesterday afternoon's Lucia was Madame Cecilia Tamanti Zuvaskl, lyric soprano, and the Edgardo was Giovanni Nadal. Zuvaskl looked the heroine Donizetti wrote about and her charming colorature work, above the staff, with, its trills and grace notes, was a valuable singing lesson. ; Xadal's lyric tenor is high set, but lacks passion and force. He, is a fine actor. The opera received a fair pre sentation. The musical director was Giovanni Baravelli and be had the or chestra well in hnd. As usual, the cele brated sextet made a hit. Those who were at the Bungalow last night that Is to say, If theyi are musical enthusiasts ought to count themselves fortunate in hearing such a thrilling per formance of Verdi's "Aida." Without doubt, this . is the greatest opera Verdi ever wrote, and he reached such sublime heights, when he gave it to the world that he, up to this day, has set the pace for Italian grand opera of the modern school. In It the influence of Wagner is clearly felt, with its triumphal processions, dra matic passages, lavish use of the brass and true Wagnerian color. Indeed, on hearing lots of phrasing of "Aida," all one has to do to imagine that the spirit of Wagner rules the music is to shut one's eyes. Listen, and what echo comes forth? "Lohengrin." "Aida" first saw the light at the inau guration of the new opera-house at Cairo, Egypt, December 24,,. 1871, and was spe cially written, at express speed, at the command of the Khedive. The original cast was: Aida, Signora Pozzoni; Am meris, Signora Grossi; Rhadames, Mon gin; Amonastro, Costa; Ramphis, Medi ni, : and the King, Steller. The action passes in Memphis, in Thebes, and the period described is the time of one of the Pharaohs. It was an all-star cast that, last night, interpreted "Aida," and the gorgeous, oriental music was a delightful experi ence, it was a new Verdi that spoke. Trumpets rang, and drums and cymbals were also kept busy. Adeberto, was the Aida, and her clear, high soprano was very effective. Dolores Frau, mezzo-contralto, is new this trip with the com pany, and her intelligent singing and fine stage appearance won her many friends. Scalabrini, heroic tenor, made a satis factory Radames, captain of the guards, and his acting was dramatic. A large man is Sabellico, basso, and he made a striking-looking high priest. His voice is tremendous in volume, andi one is ready to believe the statement that Sabellico makes an Ideal Mephistophelean 9abel lico's bass voice seems to go way down to his boots; and then some. Magti, bass baritone, was the King of Ethopia, and he looked like an improved edition of the haba-haba man, but with a better and more ringing voice. His make-up was realistic. The stage wasn't idle for a moment. There were solos, duets, trios, quartets, and lots of grand-looking processions with priests and banners, while the regal music stirred one's soul. The audience was large, and applause generous. . Tonight, the bill is Verdi's grand opera -Rigoletto," with Zavaskl as Glida, Autllio Maurini as the Duke, and Angelo Antola, the great baritone, as Rlgoletto, the jester. MAYOR IS WITH STRIKERS Trenton Trolley Company Ordered to Run Cars, Even If It Yields. TRENTON, N. J-. March 11. Not a trolley car was running in this city last night. The Trenton-Street Railuay Com pany at 5 o'clock took off the few cars that were in operation. Mayor Madden last night sent a letter to the management of the company de manding that it run its cars according to schedule provided by ordinance. The Mayor says that he will not con sider it an adequate answer for the com pany to reply that its employes are on strike. He says the men are willing to return to work if the company will award their demands for a ten-hour day and 23 cents . an hour. These demands, the Mayor says, he considers reasonable, and he suggests that the company .agree to a conference with the njen. ' Psychology of Fault-Finding. Columbus (O.) Journal. The other day a man was talking in a hotel lobby, and he found fault with everybody and -everything. He seemed to have an utter contempt for President Taft, Governor Harmon. Mayor Marshall, for the preachers, the officials, the schools, the business men and everything under the sun, except himself. In one sense it was Bort of refreshing, since It was possible for an open-minded man to hold to more generous views of these ob jects of the man's denunciation. When a man denounces everybody it rather les sens, one's objections to anybody. We are quite certain the . impression this man made was the very opposite of what he intended, and that those who listened were much fonder of Taft, Harmon, Mar shall and the others when he got through. We want to use this incident for a little psychological diversion. A boy will re gard a stone with respect to its fitness for throwing at an object: a contractor will look upon it as being useful for building purposes; a geologist will imme diately think of its location in the growth of the earth. Thus the state of mind projects the idea that surrounds an ob ject. One sees what occupies the con sciousness. One Is always seeing himself in what he sees. And then, by a sort of a law of vision, which we have not time to analyze, what one sees in other objects other people will see In him and there fore it is only good discretion that one should set reasonable bounds to his fault finding, for when this is universal it lacks sincerity, which naturally leads others to suspect that where the fault finding is universal and persistent it is' almost conclusive evidence of a malevo lent inner consciousness. CHLOROFORM DULLS FISH Photographer Gets Lifelike Pictures of the Creatures. London Mail. To the many strange uses that chloro form may be put. Dr. Francis Ward, of Ipswich, has added yet andther. He chloroforms fish, hot for surgical pur poses, but in order that he may obtain lifelike photographs of them in their nat ural environment. . "The greatest difficulty I had to con tend with in this fascinating hobby of photographing fish in their natural en vironment in tanks was the rapid and unexpected movements of the subjects," Dr. Ward explained. "The idea occurred to me that I could make the fish more tractable hy means of chloroform. But how was 1 to administer the anesthetic? Eventually I decided upon the process of drawing the water slowly away from the tank while at "the same time administer ing the chloroform through another tube. "The experiment was profoundly inter esting. At first the fish became extrenely excited, .darting madly from one side of the tank to the other. It appeared as though my effort was to be in vain, but before long lassitude overcame them .and they rested lazily near the bottom of the tank. Thus I was able to make a pro tracted photographic exposure with ex cellent results.' "Continuing my experiments, I found that just before the anesthesia is com plete it is possible to make a photograph of fish in an aggressive attitude. An esthetics are particularly useful in the photomicroscopy of fish larvae. Once they are removed from the chloroformed water the subjects rapidly recover."

"Really, though," she added, "If it were not for my children I would go on the stage. The stage always has appealed to me.

ROCKY ROAD AHEAD Irrigation Bond Bill Meets Strong Opposition. MAY BE BEATEN IN HOUSE Many Republicans and AH Demo crats Oppose and Raise Conser- . vation Issue Against What West Deems Kssential. WASHINGTON, March 11. The rocky road that stretches ahead of the pro posed $30,000,000 bond issue to enable the completion of reclamation projects in the West became visible at "yester day's hearing on the bills before the House committee on ways and means. Mondell of Wyoming: argued for his bill, which is one of a number before the committee. The Carter bill, which authorizes the issuance, of $30,000,000 worth of certificates of indebtedness instead of a bond issue, is also pend ing. The Carter bill already has passed the Senate, but has struck a snag in the House committee. Chairman Payne is opposed to the proposition along with other Republi cans and all the Democratic members. Needham of California and Ellis of Ore gon, in whose states there are large reclamation projects, are the particular committee advocates of the proposed legislation. Members of the committee say the matter is of too great importance to consider hastily and that the Indica tions are against any favorable action on the bond issue, or on the proposition Indorsed by the Senate. Practically every state in which reclamation work Is in progress will be given a hearing. Some of the Western Senators and Representatives express uneasiness over a suggestion that certain advo cates of conservation in the House are inclined, to strike back at the West by opposing the reclamation conservation bills, Mondell contended that as the Govern ment had started many of the projects, it was morally bound to complete them, as thousands of settlers had made entries on the basis of the Government pro ject. The cost of completing the work Is estimated at $65,000,000 and Mondell argued that with the bond issue and with the $7,500,000 which the projects themselves would bring In annually, all of them could be completed in seven or eight years.

London Mirror When some years ago one of the door keepers at a London theater retired from his draughty caljing and was pensioned off by the management it appeared that this old man in all the years of his serv ice had never given a "pass out'! check to any of the thousands of men who must have passed his doorway. Makes the food of maximum . quality at minimum cost But he never made a mistake. No one entitled to return, was ever refused and no one could pass in at the end of the in terval who had not passed out at the be ginning of It. The secret of the old man's success was a curious one. He depended on his mem ory in a very curious way. lie did not remember the men by their faces, their clothes, their hats, their boots or by any peculiarity of gait or appearance. Mani festly such a feat would have been im possible, for ordinary "pitties" are very much alike in these details. He took -the "one detail- on which msn do differ and remembered them by that he recognized them by their neckties. Gaze around you in the railway car riage as you are reading this article and ask yourself if there is any one of your fellow-passengers that you could remem ber well enough to recognize again?" in, say, an hour's time. You will find there are very few people you could be sure of. There may be one old man with a large and conspicuous white beard or a very young man with a pair of spectacles of unusual size, but nine out of ten have the same sort of hat, the same sort of clothes and the same sort of figure. The Londoner, in fact,' seems to be standardized. .He is built .on a settled pattern. He is modeled to a type. His necktie is his sole bit of variety. .Into, this world .of -standardized .human beings comes, let us say, a colonial. Lon don with her vast crowds swarming over four counties swallows him up. Yet somehow, he preserves his individuality. He is conspicuous w-herever he goes. He feels that all London is staring at him, and all London, -as .far. as it: teas time, is staring at him. Cabmen persistently hall him, the map sellers in the Strand pester him as he passes, those very acute people the con fidence men sight him afar off. But it is not his necktie that distinguishes him, nor' his face nor- his clothes nor his walk. The conspicuous feature of the newly ar rived colonial's outfit is his hat. London permits three sorts of hat the top hat, the bowler and in the Summer the straw. Any break from this settled order is to make yourself . conspicuous. Money In "Soda Fountain Straws."
