io THE 3IORXIXG OKEGOMAN, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1910. FESTIVAL NOT TO BE HURT BY STRIKE Horses Now Idle Will Be Taken Out by Union Drivers if No Others Are Secured. ARBITRATION HOPE BRIGHT Volunteer Committee Sanguine and Further Steps to Be Taken Today. Open Shop Assured for City Is Outcome Seen by Draymen. There will be no embarrassment of the arrangements for the Festival parades through the disagreement of the employ ing draymen and their men, said 8. V. Herrman, president of the Holman Transfer Company last night. A rumor was about the streets yesterday that the employers Intended to refuse the offer of the teamsters to take out the teams free of charge, providing that every team was driven by a union man. The draymen, said Mr. Herrman, do not like to have their horses go out un der the circumstances if others can be secured, and efforts are being made to supply the needed teams in other ways, but as a last resort the teams now tied up by the strike will be turned over to the Festival people under the charge of reliable drivers from among the union men. Horses Idle, Results Feared. It is pointed out that the draymen's horses have now been idle for some days and it is feared that the noise and ex citement about them besides the strange drivers would make them hard to handle. It is therefore preferred that other teams not affected by the strike shall be used, and M. C. Banfield and other large users of wagon transportation will probably Bupply all that are needed. If this fails, the original proposal of the union team sters will be accepted, and they will take their former employers' drays and drive them free of charge, attending to all the incidental stabling and care of the horses. Both sides manifest a sin cere desire to give the Festival all pos sible assistance and prevent any embar rassment, and both say positively there will be no hitch in the festivities. Arbitration Is Hoped. The Employers' Association sent yes terday to Rev. J. H. Black, secretary of the volunteer arbitration committee, a communication in answer to the commit tee's offer of its friendly offices in set tling the dispute. It expresses the will ingness of the employers to meet any advances in a reasonable spirit. Further steps toward bringing the contending in terests together will be taken today. Father Black and Dr. Benjamin Young, of the committee, are sanguine that their efforts will meet with speedy success. "What 1 hope to see," said the former yesterday, "is the settlement of this strike by tomorrow night. It is very embarrassing, coming just at this time, and both the employers and the teamsters have shown such a reasonable spirit In our conferences with them that I look for an easy arrangement of the diffi culty." Open-Shop to Result, Say Draymen. '"Whatever the outcome, the future sit uation in Portland will be open shop," said S. W. Herrman yesterday. "We are tired of being dictated to in the .conduct of our business. While willing to meet the strikers in a reasonable spirit, that one thing we shall insist upon to the last. We shall, of course, prefer our old men in fiHing positions, but we are go ing to fill the places, and are now ad vertising for men." Progress made was the claim of the Btrlking teamsters yesterday. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held yes terday afternoon in the Mulkey building and encouraging reports received. The strikers assert a large number of mer chants are refusing to accept further de liveries of freight by the draymen. "The men are holding firmly together," said G. A. Rogers, business agent of the union, and are carefully avoiding vio lence. We feel that we have this strike won and that the people are with us. Only one dray was working today, while we had teams out all night working for tne festival people and one was out to day." At the Theaters "MERELY MARY ANN." A Comedy In Four Acts by Israel ZangwiU.

Merely Izetta Jewel Dick, a canary By himself Howard, a footman Ralph Lee VI ERELY MARY A XX" unfolded In 1 I flashes of delicate comedy and ex quisite pathos, at the Baker Theater yes terday, becomes a most flawless bit of work when focused through the personal ity of Izetta Jewel. The opening perform ance yesterday afternoon was in the na ture of an" ovation for this charming girl star. As on the other occasion of Miss Jewel's appearance, in this role, while she was with the Baker Stock Company a year ago, the play exerted its spell with the same unerring- surety. The supporting cast, too. was one of the best that could have been selected, and each local favorite, as he stepped upon the stage, was greeted with hearty ap plause. Miss Jewel's role is that of a pathetic little slavy girl, who has been thrown on the mercies of a heartless, burly, nagging landlady, -who forces the quiet and uncom plaining creature into the most menial sort of servitude, not forgetting the task of blacking the lodgers' boots. The simple faith and childish Innocence of the girl, combined with her strict and pitiable adherence to the screaming man dates of her hard task-mistress, makes its appeal to even the most blase of the lodg ers, and one, a composer, Lancelot, by name, tries to help her out of the rut of her existence. Lancelot is a big, splendid. but very poor youn& man, whose refusal to prostitute his musical genius and learn ing, by composing popular songs and sen timental ballads has earned for him the displeasure of his friends and music pub lishers, who refuse to consider his serious compositions, but stand ready to pay fab ulous sums for "best sellers." Mary Ann hangs her canary in Lance lot's room, "to keep him company and sos It can get the sun," and abjectly follows his English, in an effort to im prove her own quaint dialect. Be it re corded, incidentally, that this same trick of speech is one of the most delightful conceits imaginable as it falls from the pretty lips of Izetta Jewel. Of course, the inevitable happens and the pathetic little slavey girl loves the poor composer. He, in turn, surmises the truth, and loathes himself for having fallen so low that he finds pleasure in Mary Ann's society. Then he finds he cares for her in a way at least ha wnt to help her out of her wretched life, and so asks her to leave with him and go into the country, to a cottage, with, a bit of a yard, and pigs and chickens. Mary Ann loves pigs and chickens. Then, like a cloud of woe to Mary Ann, unkempt and dejected, comes the astound ing news that a brother, long since un heard of. has died in America, leaving her his fortune of J500.000. In a passion of tears, she pleads with Lancelot to take the money, take her, to marry- her, any thing, but not to forsake her. But Lance lot, with tardy honor, finds he cannot marry her, has never intended to marry her, and now cannot do so because folks would say it was for her money. 9o he plays one little air for her. as a last favor, and goes his way, leaving the little huddled figure seated by a table sobbing out her loneliness to her canary. If Zangwill had ended this beautiful play right there it would have approached a classic. But commercialism must have its part, even in an "almost classic." So that all may be happy there's another and last act, wherein - Mary . Ann has been transformed into a Marion, rich and love ly, and wherein Lancelot, now success ful, comes to see her, and, while he plays the little old tune on the grand piano, the girl dons again a checked apron and cap, over all her glory of saiin and 'jewels, and, with quaint, almost forgotten dia lect, comes into the room. Needless to say the curtain goes down upon the approved tableau of reunited hearts. As Mary Ann. and later as Marion, Miss Jewel's artistry comes near to be ing perfect. Her method is never trivial nor calculated, and she evidences a gen tle exuberance, a touch of richness and tenderness that forces the realization of reserved emotional power. In the last act she was beautiful, an looked as though she might be an exquisite bit of Dresden china, the blue and pink and gold of her was so dainty. Franklyn Underwood, the Baker's lead ing man, is capable to a point, and his airy lightness, as well as the deeper mo ments of intense dramatic fervor, were excellently handled. This role, in fact, calls for more difficult actual work than any other in the cast, and Mr. Under wood met it nobly. Lillian Andrews as the garrulous and nagging landlady, was a revelation of comedy, and Frances Slos son was refreshing as the giggling Rosie. An excellent bit of work, too, was that of Dan Bruce as Lord Tottingham, as pirant for Marion's hand, and also the clever character drawn by Benjamin Hor. ning as the country vicar. As a special entertainment during Rose Festival week there will be a matinee daily, and at the evening performance the curtain will not .rise until 9 o'clock. If you haven't seen "Merely Mary Ann," see it while Izetta Jewel is here to In terpret it rightly. SEATTLE MOTORS HERE VISITORS TO ROSE FESTIVAL MAKE TRIP IX AUTOS.

GATZERT TAKES BIG LOAD Steamers Potter and Spencer Being Made Ready to Go Into Serv ice for Accommodation of Pleasure-Seekers Later. River excursions for the Summer sea son formally opened yesterday although a few more excursion boats are to te put into service later In the season. That the cro-wds -welcomed the begining of the season was evident when the Bailey Gat- zert sailed away from the foot of Alder street yesterday morning with a full load of passengers for Cascade Locks. This is the first service of the Bailey Gatzert since she came off the drydock. where she was thoroughly overhauled preparatory for the Summer excursion work. Numerous small craft of the river were busy yesterday with sightseers and ex cursionists, and even the rowboats did a big business. The small steamer Jessie Harktns went down the Columbia River with a large number of excursionists, who were out for a day s pleasure. Had the weather been brighter, there would no doubt have been even a greater demand for steamer accommodations. but even in that case but few more peo ple could have been acepmmodated than patronized the river craft. The Gatzert will make daily trips to and from Cascade Locks each day until" late this Fall, when the excursion season ends. She has been on the drydock for about two months, undergoing general repairs, and when her passengers boarded her yesterday but few of them who were her former patrons recognized her. Although she came off the ways or tne Portland Shipbuilding Company yester day, almost ready for commission, the steamer Spencer will not be placed on the Summer excursion work for an in definite time. The steamer Potter, will begin her regular excursion work, run ning to Megler on June 25. She is sched uled to take a load of excursionists on a trip the day previous, however, but this will not be a part of her regular schedule. The Potter is now at the o. t. & is. boatyards, being painted and repaired for her Summer work. i The O. R. & N. steamer Hassalo was one of the various jiver steamers which began regular excursion traffic yester day. She will operate for the Summer to Astoria, touching at Meglers every other day on her way up the river, and on Sun days she will call at the latter place on her downward trip. ENGINEER GONE, SHIP IS HELD Edith, Bound for Nome, Has to Put Back to Port Townsend. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., June 5. (Special.) Twenty-four hours or more of delay attends the discovery made this morning aboard the steamship Edith, en route for Nome, that one of her engin eers had failed to join. The discovery necessitated a return to Port Angeles, where the vessel will remain at anchor until the mailboat at noon Monday de livers the missing engineer or a substi tute. The stringent enforcement of marine laws made it hazardous for the vessel to attempt to proceed short-handed, par ticularly in the engineering department. The extreme backwardness of tne sea son in Alaska Is attested in the experi ence of the schooner Forester, which re turned today from Chignik, whither she took a cargo of cannery supplies from Astoria. When the Forester arrived May 1 the rigging was so badly 'frozen that for three days after an ancnorage was reached the sails could not be low ered and life on board was unbearable. The Forester moves to Winslow tomor row. The schooner Aloha arrived this after noon after three days in the Straits and awaits orders. The steamship Senator. Nome-bound, called here today to land a stowaway found after the vessel lett Seattle. SUNDAY BCSY AT OAK STREET Four Steam Schooners Discharge There During Day. Oak-street dock was unusually active yesterday morning when four steam schooners, three of which were discharg ing at the same time, were tied up there All the available longshoremen were se. to work and all day long cement was be ing put ashore as rapidly as possible. All the vessels were discharged by night. The steamers tied up to that dock were the Saginaw, J. B. Stetson, Jim Butler and Yellowstone. The Saginaw, which arrived late Saturday night, fin ished discharging yesterday afternoon and left down the river for Willapa Harbor, where she will take on lumber for the south. The J. B. Stetson, which arrived Sat urday night also, was discharged yes terday. The Jim Butler arrived yester day morning and the work of discharg ing her began at 10:30 A. M. By 6 o'clock last night she was unloaded and left for the Peninsula Lumber Company for cargo. With 45 passengers and 500 tons of ce ment, the steam schooner Yellowstone arrived at 11:15 yesterday morning and will go to Stella today for a load of lum ber. Officers of all the steam schooners ar riving yesterday reported rough weather all the way up the coast from San Fran cisco. ELDER IS DELAYED AT EUREKA Vessel Puts In to. Take on 100 Vis itors to Rose Festival. That she might bring about 100 passen gers from that place to the Rose Festival, the steamer Geo. W. Elder, which ar rived here at 4:45 -o'clock yesterday after noon, was sent by way of Eureka, caus ing her to get here about 24 hours later than her schedule time. It was recently announced by .the North Pacific Steamship Company that the Elder and the Roanoke would not be sent by way of Eureka any more, owing to the danger of the harbor at that place. It was stated yesterday, however, that this rule had to be violated in order to accommodate the Festival visitors, who had no other way of reaching this city, as Eureka has no rail connections. After arriving at Eureka the Elder found it necessary to remain there some time after she was scheduled to depart, to await for a smooth bar. The Elder was forced to refuse taking a number of passengers in San Fran cisco in order to have plenty of room for the passengers from Eureka. The vessel was loaded to her full capacity with, pae- senders, and also brought from the. south 900 tons of general cargo. BID MADE FOR COOS TRADE Steamer to Operate From There to Grays Harbor and Sound. MARSHFIFJlP, Or., June 5. (Special.) The steamer Carlos, of San Francisco, is to be put on a run between Coos Bay and Grays Harbor and Seattle. She will make her first trip to this port June 7, and will carry both passengers and freight. H. Sengstacken, of this city, has been named as the Coos Bay agent. This is the first time that this port has had a regular boat to Seattle, and it is believed that she will do a good business. The steamer G. F. Lindauer, of San Francisco, made a trip to this port, bring ing a fw passengers and material for the new Chandler building. She took out a load of lumber from North Bend, and for a time will be engaged in carrying the output of the North Bend Lumber Com pany mill, the steamer Bandon, which formerly did that work, now being en gaged entirely in handling lumber from the new Cody mill at Bandon. The barkentine Chehalis is loading at the Simpson mill in North Bend. The steamer Alert, which was damaged In a collision with the Breakwater several months ago, has been repaired and is again on the Coos River run. Astoria Shipping News. ASTORIA, Or., June 5. (Special.) The steam schooner Yosemite arrived from San. Francisco last night with a general cargo for Portland to load lumber for return. The steamer El der arrived from San Pedro, San Fran cisco and Eureka today with passen gers and freight for Portland. The steamer Falcon arrived today from San Francisco with a general cargo for Portland, which came over the Mexican route. The Norwegian steamer Sark arrived from San Fran cisco today to load at Prescott for the Orient. The steam schooner Newport arrived from Eureka with freight and pas sengers for Portland. The steam schooner Tamalpais sailed today for San Francisco, with lumber from up river points. The tank steamer Argyll sailed tonight for California, after dis charging fuel oil at Portland. Coos Would Register Vessels. MARSHFIELD, Or., June 5. (Special.) Members of the Chamber of Commerce are making an effort to arrange for reg istering ships out of Coos IBay, instead of other ports. There are quite a number of vessels owned here. "The C. A. Smith Company owns the Nann Smith, which is registered from St. Paul, and also owns the schooner Redondo. The Simpson Lum ber Company owns quite a large fleet. It is said that the shipowners are willing to make the change, provided that the cost for registering out of this port will not be any greater than out of the present ports of registration. It is believed that the arrangement will be a good advertise ment for Coos Bay, which is justly due her. as this is really the home port for many vessels which are registered as from other places. Bad AVeather Ruins Codfishlng. PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., June 5. American schooner Forester, on arrival today, 16 days from Chignik, Alaska, brings news of the arrival of sailing vessels in the salmon cannery trade. Ar rivals from Seattle, Columbia River and San Francisco were ship Benjamin F. Packard, April 24; ship Star of Alaska, April 22, and ship Jabez Howes, May 10. Severe weather ruined the season of cod fishermen among the Westward Islands. Difficulties preparing for the salmon sea son were met on account of snow, a depth of five feet being registered on the beach May 19. Long Voyage Is Ended. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., June 5. The British bark Almora. 233 days from England, one of the longest passages in recent years, arrived Saturday from New Castle-on-Tyne, for Seattle. Off the coast of England, the river Platte and about Cape Horn storms were met with of such severity that before the last had been passed the bark did not possess a single sail. Im provised canvas was rigged under great adversity. Cement Barge Is Safe. Just as serious apprehension was be ginning to be felt for her safety, the barge G. C. Tobey, being towed from San Francisco to this place by the tug Daunt less, arrived in the river yesterday. The Tobey was nine days from San Francisco. She is carrying 2500 tons of cement, and her trip is an experiment to find some method to reduce the present freight tariff on cement. Marine Notes. From San Francisco, the Norwegian steamer Sark arrived yesterday and will load lumber beginning today for the Orient. She will begin taking on her load at Inman-Poulsen Company's mills. Towed by the Port of Portland tug Ocklahama, the schooner Salvator and the barge Washtucna left down the river yesterday morning; The Salvator Is bound for San Francisco with lumber and the Washtucna goes to Neah Bay. The steamer Bear Is due to arrive to day with a large load of passengers and freight from San Francisco. While no definite date has been set for the change in the schedule of the steam ers Bear, Beaver and Rose City, involv ing their operations to San Pedro, It is understood that it will come in the early part of July. Towing the first log raft of the season from the Columbia River, the steamer G. W. Fenwick arrived at San Francisco yesterday. Three steam schooners were reported yesterday to have sailed from San Fran cisco for Portland. They are the F. S. Loop, Casco and Northland. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND. June 0.

A disturbance of more than usual energy for the season Is central this evening over "Utah. The barometer is relatively high along the Northern California coast, and It is rising slightly over Western Washington. No rain has fallen of consequence, but the weather is cloudy and threatening over the greater portion of the North Pacific States. It is much cooler In the Willamette Valley and the Sound country. Elsewhere the tem perature has remained nearly stationary.

No more music - hungry homes the Autopiano which every member of the family will play. Every type of Autopiano now on exhibition.' Never heretofore has it been possible to present in one establishment the magnificent array of all that is latest and best in the development of the modern player-piano. Each and every style from 17 different factories is included in this tremendous and epoch-making exhibition. It is an epoch-making exhibition because it marks the appli cation of the Eilers low-price selling policy also to these, the latest achievements of American inventive genius. Heretofore the selling price (and in most cases an exorbitant selling price) of player-pianos of merit has been dictated by the manufacturing interests. Hereafter Eilers Music House will sell player-pianos on the same reduced sale price policy as is applied to its regular pianos. The expiration of several basic patents on player-piano! actions, the invention and development of numerous improve-j ments upon existing types of player-pianos, together with an admirable and indomitable spirit of progressiveness, coupled with increased facilities on the part of numerous prominent. piano manutacturers, have made possible several very important changes in the player-piano After careful investigation over a long period of time, numerous very important additions to the great line of hhrh-class musieal instruments, for thesale of which Eilers Music House has long been famous, have been made possible. These are now shown. Modern Art Grand Pianos with player mechan ism, playable by footpower and also by diminu tive electric motor, producing marvelous re sults, included in this exhibit. portion.
