Complete mystery surrounds the murder of Dan fatrlt. an Italian cook, -g years of age. which took place at 7:1S last night In front of P. Bruno's aaloon on the northeast corner of tec ond and Everett streets. The first In tttnatlon of the tragedy was the crack ot the pistol ahot which sent the bullet Into Patrlt's breast over the heart. The wounded man sank to the sidewalk and with a groan expired. Policeman Nelson, who was on the beat, and policemen Letsy and KUngel resDonded to the call for Investigation. The murdered man waa examined at tha station and a registered receipt was found signed by Mrs. Lillian Fatrlt. of Oakland. CaU presumably that ot bla wife. There waa alao a telegram from O. ' Martin, which was received at yesterday afternoon 'and said that he could forward only II J. p. Bruno, who conducts the aaloon said: "Patrlt was a good young man who frequently called here. He was a waiter, and I think he had a quarrel with two men In the shadow of the gas works. This waa all the Information Bruno was able to supply. Two witnesses were held by the police. They were mU Eversen and Frank Kennedy, la- borer. ..Tier assert that they were 1 a block away at trie time ana knew that a shot bad been urea wmo questioned by tha police.

These studies are exe cuted by three women of fair physical attractions wno pose wim cimm .i, grace against suitable backgrounds. The last act Is especially good as to setting.

Several other features In troduced by this troupe, the Caro Miller and family, are an especially clever doll Impersonations, a Chinese picture act and a ballot of the roses, in all of which the costumes are ex ceedingly attractive and appropriate and the execution good. Another big hit is Julia Miller, who ap pears with Jobn Besnah In a diverting act comprising all sorts of odds and ends of oddity In the character of song and dance. Poasibly Julia may once have been young and slim, but she never could have been funnier. Just one of her -wide smiles" and all blueness must needs fade away and one settles back In his or her seat content to listen and to laugh at the rollicking merriment which is provided for entertainment. Especially praiseworthy are Staley and Blrbeck. mualcal blacksmiths, who pro duce a very good anvil chorus and play clever tunes with hammers and horse shoes. But their feature act is the transformation completely from mop to parlor in two seconds. In place of the anvils sre well-upholstered chairs and where an old chest for odds and ends of iron had stood appears an upright piano and all in so short a time. And not only Is the rapid change remarkable but they are excellent muaiclana aa well and In the parlor scene give forth good music from "cello and piano. The other numbers on the programme are two. Seymour and Robinson In ex traordinary acrobatic pantomimes, which are extremely funny as weU as being ex ceedingly skillful: and John Hlggins, who leaps over chairs with the agility of a cat, hovers In mid-air over candles until the blase Is extinguished and then drops gracefully to the floor. .

TRAFFIC DRIVEN TO COVER Eastern Oregon Offers Kvldcnce ot Hopelessness of Prohibition by Frequent Arrests Individual Liberty I Involved. tti . v. f,m1n,nt men who were Interviewed yesterday save reasons why Oregon should not vote for prohl ui.. nAa v Thar declare that prohi bition does not prohiDit ana uisi i a failure as an effective means of regu lating the liquor traffic. Their Inter views follow: C F. Adams president of the Security Savings & Trust Co. Prohibitory leg islation has never succeeded In abolish ing liquor, but It has succeeded in de grading and demoralising the traffic and making It doubly hard to deal with by driving It Into secret 'places. Ore gon wants none of that. W. C. Bristol Prohibition Is worth less. Temperance Is not compelled by law, but Is due to the observance of moral requirements by the Individual. Arthur C. Spencer Prohibition has proved a useless measure elsewhere in this country. Why burden Oregon's code with an Ineffective measure? I believe In temperance, but prohibitory laws will not promote temperance. Eastern Ore gon right now Is evidence enough of the hopelessness of prohibition. Day after day the law Is being violated, indict ments are being returned by the score and the courts congested with dosens of cases growing out of the futile effort to legislate against a man's tastes and what he considers his individual right. H. W. Hogue Prohibition deprives a man of his personal liberties and In no state where it has been tried to my knowledge has It ever been enforced. If such a law would reduce the eon sumption of liquor those who respect and obey the law would be the ones de prived of Its use and those willing to break the law would not. George W. SUpleton No law as dras tic as the proposed prohibition measure - ....woaafiiilv enforced. Fundamen tally it involves a question of Individ ual liberties which are difficult to leg islate out of business. The liquor busi ness should be under strict regulation, as It will be under the home rule law. Wallace McCamant The prohibition ist seeks to prohibit the sale of liquor aa a means of prohibiting the drinking of liquor. In the last analysis the pro hibitionist's argument resolves itself Into a claim that he has the right to compel me to lead his life if he can persuade 100 voters to line up with him and I can persuade only 9 to line up with me. Aa a believer In liberty, I am opposed to prohibition. I claim the right to lead my own life and decide for myself what my pleasures shall be. I resent the at tempt of any man, or of any number of men. to tell me what I shall .eat or drink. Frederick V. Holman. I believe it would be unwise to adopt prohibition for the whole state. Oregon has a lo cal option law which allows each com munity to determine tbe matter fof Itself. This, I believe, is as far as the question should be carried by law. The present fad in matters political is to try to exercise all power by tbe state and give but little freedom to the Individual. The control of social ques tions by a majority against the rights of a minority Is unjust and tyrannical, and is opposed to the true principles of a government by a free people. Ex-Clrcult Judge Thomas O'Day. I am opposed to prohibition on many grounds. I think It is wrong morally, because It interferes with the Individ ual's right to regulate his own personal taste as he desires. It violates the Blb Ical Injunction: "To do unto others as you would that they should do unto vou." because it undertakes to control the individual's desires as to his own personal actions by law. It Is the same as the Inquisition, by which people were compelled to have certain reli gious beliefs by law. It encourages perurjy makes people hypocritical, be cause one naturally repels a law which denies him his personal rights and 11b- Harrison Allen.

Enact prohibition and law lessness, blind pigs and tigers will flourish. Just as they have In every state which has been foolish enough to experiment with prohibition. "GIRL CADETJT' PLEASING Spanish Dancer, la Solita, Does Some Clever "Stepping." "The Girl Cadets." the Lyric1 mu sical comedy offering this week. Is almost eclipsed by La Solita. the Span ish dancer, who wears a pretty gown and does some clever "stepping" which at once makes her popular with the audience. La Solita comes direct from Hammersteln's Theater In New York. After giving two excellent dances at yesterday's matinee, the audience was not satisfied and continued to make such a "noise" that the dancer was compelled to repeat one of the numbers. If such a thing were possible, Dillon and King, the comedians, are funnier this week than ever. As recruits In the United States Army, they wring a laugh from the moot morose. The two Joke peddlers are taken Into the Army by General Blossom (George Rehn), and the troubles they have In learning the maneuvers of that contingent, while seemingly serious to them, do not so Impress the audience. When they are sent to cross the line with orders, the fun reaches its height Clara Howard as Bessie, the General's daughter. Is everything that could be wished tor. while Ethel Davis as Benonta uonxaies. the "Spanish spy," who betrays the American Army to her Spanish officer sweetheart carries her part well. Fred Lancaster, as Lieutenant Casey, Bessie's admirer, made an acceptable lover, ana took" well. Of the catchy musical programme, SIv Dreams of the U. S. A.," as sung by George Rehn and chorus and accom panied by colored pictures, quite cam off the laurels. The little duet "I'm Awful Glad I Met You." was pleasingly rendered by Fred Lancaster and Clara Howard, while the former's voice was also heard to good advantage in "When the itlgnt ijiuio uin .wii&. Mia Hnsird also made a favorable Im pression In "Bamboo Lane," and the chorus never am Deiier wars. iuu u "Mosette. the White Wash Man."
