M. at Tilfjrd building. Candidates in the race are O. M. riummer. L. Victoria Hampton and Mrs. Mabel B. Kerr. With three candidates In the race for School Director and plans com pleted for polling places throughout the city, the prospects are that the -school election this atternoon will bring out the heaviest vote of any election of the kind yet held in this district. It Is expected that the vote will be close to 10.000 which iB much greater than at the last regular school election. All arrangements for the handling of the voters, the receiving of the votes and the completion of the count and the official canvass have bees com pleted by School Clerk Thomas, who will have charge of affairs during the day. All the polls, with election offi cials In charge, will open at 2 P. I.I. and will continue until 6 o'clock, when they will be closed promptly.

L.urid onlv in name. but brilliant in all other co.l'orineis this novel and picturesque musical comedy, one of the big hits of the seas on, caught on last night at the Ileilis like a reg'lar house afire. When It was all over and the last curtain had rolled down over the last bit of the last act folks out fronfkent a elcrhins: for more. It didn't make much dif ference what the more consisted of more of Raymond Hitchcock's antics and drolleries; more of the dashing; deviltry of Flora Zabelle, more danc ing- or singing, or both, or all only we just wished there hadn't been a, time limit to the entertainment. It surely is spirited fun. Certainly. too, it is a Raymond Hitchcock con quest individually and honestly. After he d been put through all his paces for two full acts he was prevailed upon to come out for a soliloquy. Prevailed upon is the term. The audi ence just sat back and applauded its head and its best white kids into a miniature Niagara of sound until Mr. Hitchcock said he felt it his, "bounden duty" to respond. Talk Should Be Copyrighted. His talk should be incorporated in the text and copyrighted along with the clever lines charming Pollock and Rennold Wolf have strung together for the meat and bread part of the "Red Wldo w.- Charles Gebest bound it all around with melodies and believe a. tired bus iness woman they are melodies. borne of them we ve heard before, of course. - That's one of the advantages. or disadvantages, according to your viewpoint, of having enterprising; or chestras, pianolas, vaudevillians and talking machines Introduce the waltz themes and make them generally be loved long before the play they were written for comes out to this coast. Now we have it at first hand and set off by gorgeous, colorful stage trap pings and settings that amaze and hold spellbound. And after an entire season the gowns and uniforms, bonnets and boots of the company are fresh and fine. 'Tha Red "Widow" has more real actual down-to-business plot than many a pretentious melodrama that gets by in the name of legitimacy. It has Siberia for its main peg on which the jokes are suspended. Flora Zabelle. dark and radiant, with a pleasing soprano that occasionally soars up amongst the top flies and a dashing Oriental presence that just blends Into the type she portrays, is AND FLORA ZABELLE. the Red. Widow and a Nihilist. Ray mond Hitchcock is . Cicero Hannibal cutis, manuiacturer of C. H. B. cor sets and colonel in the New York State Guards, is by a train of circumstances known only to playwrights made to take the red widow to St. Petersburg on Mrs. Butt's passport. The rd widow is on her way to assassinate the czar, and Butts finds himself in a pleaasnt . little nest of conspirators. Added to his woes, his son. a spendthrift, is along with him, and Mrs. Butts trails after. The hotel keeper turns out to be an old friend, and further explanatory lies add to complications. All of which makes for delicious foolery, an ocean of laughter and. snappy up-to-date repartee. Of course Mr. Hitchcock's triumph is a personal one. His humor is of the quiet, unctuous variety that gets you ere you are aware. Oftentimes the actual line he speaks isn't of any great consequence, but he tops it off with a gesture here and there, a wig gle of his toe, a flirt of his eyebrow, maybe a shake' of the Hitchcock bangs, and the audience is convulsed. Huttn, Jr and Fiancee Delightful. George White, as Butts, Jr., and Minerva Coverdale as Yvette, his fiancee, afforded one of the thorough ly sensational delights of the evening in their marvelously graceful eccentric dancing. -Aggregation is the only way one can speak of the chorus, there is so much of it in numbers. It's a good-looking smartly appareled chorus, too, with girls that are beauties and tall, hand some chorus men. The acts are three. The first is a novelty, showing the foyer of the Al cazar music hall In London, with by play conversation, whiHtling of airs and the motley mixture of theater characters. The second act takes place In the Hotel de l'Europe, and act three is the gardens of the Czar's Winter pal ace a glory of glitter and beauty and exquisite motion. There's a lengthy cast of principals and while the singing voices are not remarkable the music they sing ls lovely. There must be at least a dozen catchy cheerful musical numbers. "The Red Wrldow" cannot but appeal to theater patrons who appreciate good musical comedy. It will remain at the Heilig for three nights more, with a Wednesday matinee. FIRST SHERIFF OF WHEELER . ( l-uua i l, BURIED AT SALEM, AGED SO YEARS. a n : 6 ss- fcv ...i...-. ".t-iiiBi?wnrf.irin'if a j Frry Losis Keetoi. SALEM, Or., June 15. (Spe cial.) The funeral of Perry Louis Keeton, the first Sheriff of Wheeler County, was held in this city Friday. Mr. Keeton was born in Texas, December 8, 1863, being a son of Moses and Mary Eliza beth Adams Keeton, natives of Missouri and- Virginia respective ly. The family crossed the plains In 1854. locating in Shasta, Cal., and in 18G4 moved to Grant Coun ty. Oregon.

Larry K. Evans, Motorcycle Police man on Duty at Country Clnb Track, Thrown and Run Over: Is Unconscious for Hour. a MOTOR VEHTCLK ACCIDENTS OF SUNDAY. Killed. Charles r. Surface, felled from mo torcycle In collision with streetcar. Injured. Mrs. C. D. Surface, riding with husband, fractured les;. 8ellx Doern, run over by automo bile in Sellwood; fractured leg;. Helen Sells. Baton Hotel, knocked down by automobile. Larry IC Evans, policeman. Injured by motorcycle. One death, two fractured legs and minor injuries are included In Sunday's series of disasters in Portland. Most serious of the train of accidents was the killing of Charles D. Surface, a young employe of the street-clean ing department, and the maiming of nis wife, in a collision between their motorcycle and a streetcar at East Thirteenth street and Hawthorne ave nue, shortly after 6 P. M. Proceeding southward on Thirteenth street, with his wife on the rear seat and traveling at a lively rate. Surface was looking back and chatting with his companion, say witnesses, when he reached the intersection of Hawthorne avenue. Just as a Mount Scott train approached, going west- Surface seemed to lose his head as he saw the close approach of the car. and, the turn oeing a sharp one. was unable to ne gotiate it and proceed eastward, as he apparently .wished to do. Testimony of witnesses is that the streetcar was proceeding- at a Blow ra-ie. preparing to stop to take tw women aboard, but the motorcycle rushed upon the track within not more than eight feet and too late to prevent an accident. Womsn's Cry Heire. A piercing scream, probably fron Mrs. Surface, with the crash of the lm pact, aroused the neighborhood to the fact that a disaster had occurred. The riders were hurled or shoved about 20 feet and their motorcycle was wrecked. Doctors, policemen, ambulances and Coroner's deputies arrived in a few minutes and a large crowd collected iiom wie cars wnicn were detained by the occurrence. An automobile owner took charge of Mrs. Surface and car ried her quickly to Good Samaritan Hospital, where it was found that she had sustained a fracture of the upper leg and contusions about the head. Her condition is not precarious. She re covered consciousness on the way and asked about her husband. She was as sured that "he was all right." Surface probably struck the curb in falling, as his head was crushed and he died In a few minutes, though ef forts to revive him were continued long aiterwara. The body is at the Coro ner's office. He lived at 4330 East Sixty-fourth street. Sellwood Boy- Hart. A young boy, supposed to.be Sellx Doern. was' taken to Sellwood Hospi tal yesterday, suffering from a frac tured leg. He had been riding a motor cycle and was run down by an automo bile, of which the driver, according to the Information at the hospital, went on his way without rendering assist ance or giving his name. The boy was placed under an anesthetic immedi ately upon arriving at the hospital and no information could be had from him. While on duty at the aeroplane meet at the Country Club, Larry K. Evans, a motorcycle officer, was thrown from his machine, and a rider behind him, unable to avoid him, ran over Evans' head. The policeman sustained severe bruises and was unconscious for an hour. He was taken to his home. Helen Selig, living at the Eaton Hotel, was run down yesterday morn ing by an automobile driven by W. J. Byrne, 170 Ford street. She was knocked down, but not seriously In jured and was carried to her hotel. CHICAGO MS' HAPPY VTOJIAX SUFFRAGE HAILED AS SALOONS' DEATH WARRANT. Prohibitionists Say They Will Cap ture Illinois Metropolis With-in Ten Years. CHICAGO. June 15. (Special.) ""Woman suffrage in Illinois means Chicago will go "dry" within 10 years."

The committee, which is evenly divided between men and women, was elated over the women's victory in the Legislature. ' "Now that women will soon have the right to vote, we expect to remove the main' obstacle in the' path of the prohibition movement in Illinois and that obstacle ls Chicago." said Mary F.
