Kenton Contract Let. The contract for the building of the Kenton School was let to John Almeter for $50,027. Bids were opened for the heating, ventilating and plumbing of the Ken ton School, and referred to the build ing committee. In the case of Henry Schroeder. a senior student of Jefferson High School, who passed a competitive ex amination for and was appointed to a radetehlp at West Point, it was de cided to waive the rule of not granting a diploma of graduation to one who does not finish the school year.

Thr same action may be tak-on for the I.etit5 school. A petition from the students of Jef fron High School for assistance in erecting a statue of Thomas Jefferson at the school was placed on Ale. and will be the subject of future action by the Board. For the second time bids for re modelling the heating and ventilating systems of Holladay and Thompson schools were rejected. The Board yes terday decided to do the jrreater part f the work by day labor, as It con sidered all bids excessive. A controversy which hna arisen in the school for the deaf In the Buck man school building came before the Board. There arc three teachers of the daf. One teaches sign language, and the others the oral or lip-reading system? Patrons of the school asked for the dismissal of the sin -language teacher. Mrs. F. G. Metcalf. No action was taken by the Board. It seems that there in conflict between advocates of the two systems. gant guarantees in connection with watch manufacturing. It is probable, too, that the recent decision of the Supreme Court, holding that manufacturers cannot require a retailer to sell goods at a contract price will receive some discussion. This subject was not on the regular pro gramme, as the court decision was ren dered since the programme was pre pared. Some of the visiting members are giving it serious discussion, how ever. The gathering was opened yesterday afternoon with an address by H. R. Albee, Mayor-elect, who welcomed the visitors. Among the prominent visitors is Colonel J. 1 Shepherd, of New York, proposer of the bill designed to pre vent fraudulent guarantees. He will addres3 the convention today-. P.

With a gasoline pump the seepage was being got rid of last night and performances probably will be resumed this afternoon. Water flowing into the basement of the police temporary station at Sixth and Everett streets has forced the em ployment of pumps. The water is en tering in a perceptible stream. Many other buildings, as far west as Broad way, are experiencing the same condi tion. Canoeists on the river had sport yes terday in running beneath the bottom draw of the new Steel bridge, where the high water nearly reaches the roadbed, barely admittting their craft between the bridge and water.

"However, should l desire so to do. it would take four months or more under the now charter before any franchise the Commission might grant would be come operative and it then would be subject to the referendum, which, no doubt, the interests opposing the fran chise wotild invoke, and in that case the measure would be held up until the next city elect ion, two years from now."

Canada Plan to Meet Issue With Canal Opening. Oregon. Washington, California. Ida ho, Wyoming and British Columbia are represented at the Western Immigra tion Conference, which opened yester day at the Multnomah Hotel and the object of which is to devise ways and means for handling the immigration question In such a manner that the industrial development of the territory that will be most affected by the open ing of the Panama Canal will be along Hues that will not be detrimental to the American working man. Immigration from Southern Europe and Japan will be dicussed. Mexico is also furnishing thousands of immi grants to the United States, owing to the unsettled and turbulent political conditions there, while from Canada are coming those who find the climate too severe or are unable to ma,ke a liv ing there, and these phases of the ques tion will be considered at today's and tomorrow's sessions. The object of the conference will not be to devise means of excluding the foreigner, but to have only those come who can make a living here, and to have them come under such conditions that they will be elevated to the stan dard of the American laborer, rather than to bring- down the wage and the living standard already existing. The speakers yesterday were W. R. Trotter, of Vancouver, B. O., who told of his work in England in directing immigration to Canada in to the proper channels; P. W. Dowler, of Seattle, who told of the movement into this coun try from Canada and of the smuggling of Chinese across the border; and E. P. Marsh, president of the Washington State Federation of Labor, who dis cussed the immigration problem in gen eral.

CAST. Dr. iTeyer Iaacon. .Charles Brvant The Hon. Nlcel Armine . Herbert Percy Mahmoud Baron di. Robert Whttwortb Dr. Hartley Edward Fieldlns; Sir Henry Grebe "William Hassan Ibrahim A. Romalne Callendar Hamaa Claus Bog-el Monks Arthur Hurley Mrs. Chapstow. . .Madame Xazlmova Mrs. Marchmont Amy Venesa Marie May Galyar BY LBONB CASS BAER. THE superlative in theatrical sensa tions is supplied by the combina tion of Madame Alia Nazimova, incom parable Russian artiste, and Robert Hichens, novelist. Madame Nazimova could play Polk's Directory or a time table of the O.-TV. R. & N. and make it hold magnetic charm and absorbing interest. Last night she came to the Heillg in "Bella Donna," a complete theatrical machine made out of Hichen's novel of that name. James Bernard Fagan made the play, and it is eminently fitting that the title role should be entrusted to an actress like the gifted Nazimova. No actress other than she could play It. Like her art and personality it Is bizarre and exotic. Fagan has stripped the play "Bella Donna" of all the novelist's atmos phere. Little remains, of course, but the sensational story, verging often up on the impossible, of a beautiful wo man's effort to poison her husband by putting sugar of lead In his coffee, so that she may not be burdened In her intrigue witli an Egyptian Bluebeard in a fez and a dinner coat who already has a collection of femininity. The theme is by no means developed rap idly yet, so consummately natural is the acting that the action never an in stant drags. Poison Is the uubjeot. The scenes are Egyptian. All of which naturally sug gests a serpent as the model for Bella Donna. Madame Nazimova makes this adopted daughter of the Nile a Cheo patrlsh study of glitterings, glidings, turnings and clingings. Fhe wraps her lithe, slender, sinuous, young body In closely fitting robes -of snake-like tints and textures. The tails of her gowns, fashioned after a snake's body. creep and crawl, winding torturously to lie wickedly in wait. The silk and Jewel swathed wraith bears little re semblance to a human being, supposed to be a somewhat passe r-nglish woman, who has married Nigel Armine after having been beloved of many men. Sensationalism seems to be the princi ple of Bella Donna, In view of which since it attains what it sets out to, credibility may go hang. Its very un usual n ess arouses tremendous interest, some of it rouses the mind and much of it stirs the emotions. Wonderful is the art w4th which Madame Nazimova depicts the cold blooded and merciless selfishness, the murderous malevolence and baser pas sions of Bella Donna without making the spectacle revolting. Art or arti ficiality, whichever it Is, we will none of us ever know. Whether her move ments are shiftlngs from one studied pose to. another, or the normal actions of the abnormal Nazimova we can only discuss, mouth over In wonder and leave It an unsolved riddle. She excites curiosity, she holds attention, she is gifted with genius in her art. To some of us her little pathetic tones and touches go far deeper than, ear and eye. Others see only the rharveloualy plastic body and her vivid, staxtllng; use of It.

OREGONIAN cellent- Charles Bryant is distinguished and dominant in his role of the Jewish physician, Ir. Meyer Isaacson, who dis covers that Bella Donna is slowly poisoning her husband, his friend. Nigel Armine. Capital impersonations are those of Robert Whitworth as Baroudi, who tells Bella that there "are other women," and Romalne Callender as Ibrahim, a drngonlan. The play is picturesquely mounted and 1 Belascoeque in treatment. Strikingly effective Is the finale. It Is just a ticise made by the crashing together of the heavy doors, when Bella Donna, cast oft by the dark skinned Baroudi, who "will not risk trouble with the English." turns, re enters the home she has made desolate. Then It is that Dr. Isaacson meets her at the threshold and closes the portal In her face. One word at this poin t would have turned the dramatic qual ity into bold melodrama. As it Is. th action alone speaks volumes and gives the audience n thrill which in these days of tho prosaic mere speech could i never inspire. "Bella Donna" will con tinue at th. Heillg the rest of the week, with a. matinee Saturday. TRADE PROBLEMS ISSUE Orojron .lewctrrs Tnlte Vp Kake Artl clea TrRfflo.
