FOR a whole day the Heilig theater forgot "dem white trash" while the Georgia minstrels, 40 in number, ca vorted, 'round the playhouse, enter taining at two performances with everything from darky sob songs to "The High Brown Baby's Ball." Their visit to -Porilana ' was a very brief one and the theater will remain dark throughout the week. First on the programme was the usual minstrelsy, with Johnny Taylor as conductor. The solo numbers were, all good, but it was not so much the music as it was 'the antics of the Georgians themselves. Ed Toliver, for instance, has a mouth that ties itself in knots, question marks, figure eights and then puckers up into just nothing at all. While Toliver sang You Can't Make Your Shimmie inane on Tea the mouth pertormea. it made another appearance when tne quartet put on a comedy act. "In Room .202 was tne sons mm assured Chick Beaman as many en cores as there were verses and when the verses gave out the singer gave up. Manzie Campbell s song wasn i as much of" a song as it was a wail. He sang "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" and was called back time and again to demonstrate his grief. - The Georgia quartet is composed of Campbell, Toliver, George Walds and Taylor and a motley looking lot they were. Songs and patter were mingled until as a climax one of the four told a dice story as only a darky could tall it Campbell and Toliver appeared again in A Little t oi nouuus. and Chick Beaman came forth for a brief period of fun-making. Charles and Duke Johnson, garbed like fash ion plates, danced and sang. Espe cially good were the Imitations ox the late George Primrose in a i-.ouu.jii ditty and a demonstration of the old fashioned quadrille. The closing number was Uncle Eph's Birthday Party." with Manzie Campbell as Uncle Eph, who. wore about lebenty-seben vests. BOUCHET HELD FOR Hippodrome. THREE beautiful girl swinging in mid-air thrill the audiences at the Hippodrome this week In an elab orate act that would outdo those of the best circus performers. ."Elford's Golden Whirl" is the way the number is billed and it is a whirl from start to finish. First the elaborately cos tumed .maids do a butterfly dance while swinging by their teeth, then they pose on golden ladders revolving far above the stage. Last they played tunes by means of bells clasped about ankles and wrists, while hanging to the moving bar by their teeth. B-jrt Adler creates a sensation by announcing Just before his act that the theater has obtained the services of a remarkable violinist. A spot light is turned 'on and the orchestra works up to an expectant pitch, then the .musician steps forth Adler, with a fake violin. He doesn't even at tempt to play the instrument; he just talks and when he finishes talking he recites. The best part of his of fering is a resume' of the war in baseball verse. "Havana Bound is a nautical farce put on by Greenwald and Herman and Richard Lawrence. There are plenty of pretty girls, for it is a musical show, and the songs are full of pep. A pretty scene introduces dainty Chi nese lanterns carried by the chorus. The group appears later In elaborate dance frocks. Of course, the show has a clown, who captivates the audience with a bit of might-have-been-classic dancing. Martin and Elliott are lively on their feet and have a lot of good dances. Gene ' and Katherine King complete the programme, with "Miles of Smiles." Miss King astonishes the house by turning her dress wrong side out. thus appearing in an en tirely different costume. The photo play this week is Sylvia Breamer in "The Blood Barrier." SHOOTING ofwdiuuh Murder Charge to Be Faced if Man Recovers. JEALOUSY IS BLAMED A The Oaks.

The tentative plans for the fall campaign were discussed at the weekly meeting of the King county central committee of the triple alli ance at the Labor temple which ended early this morning.

This step,' however, will not be taken until after the verdict of the coroner s jury. The dentist was under close ur. veillance by the hospital authorities ana as soon as it is considered neces aary a guard will be put over him. ine investigation yesterday bore out the theory that the shooting was tne result or jealousy. Mrs. Richards was said to have been "keeping com pany" with James Rigas, Greek pro prietor of a restaurant' at Fifth and Burnside streets, and she was said to nave naa an enea&rement to out riding with him at 7:30 that night. Bouchet Held libalanced. The theory that Dr. Bouchet could not have been in his right mind when he fired the shots which killed the woman and then attempted to kill himself was advanced by Dr. J. F. Wood, who is attending the wounded dentist, and who had been the man's physician previously. Dr. Wood said bouchet had been ill- recently and during his boyhood had suffered an accident which had resulted In his right leg being amputated. Dr. Wood has known the young den tist since he lived in Condon. Or. when 15 years of age. and gives the ioiiowing history of the young man: w nen ne was about 12 or 13 years of age and working as a delivery boy lor a drug store, he was injured seri ously in a collision of street cars ana sustained a crushed leg that necessi tated an amputation of the right leg at the knee joint, and also suffered compound fracture of the left leg. Last February he had an attack of influenza. He had never fully recov eredi from that attack. Hcmorrkatri Are buffered. "In March he had three severe hem orrhages of the lungs and suffered acute attack of tuberculosis fol lowing the influenza. He was Good Samaritan hospital about month. When he left the hospital he wen to Shipherd's Springs and developed an acute gastro-intestinal infection, fol lowed by a severe attack of catarrhal jaundice. He went into eastern Washington thereafter, where he re mained until about two weeks aeo. After his return I endeavored to get him to go to bed and take complete rest, lor nis health was badly im paired. I had engaged a room for him to return to the hospital yester day. He came into my office about 1 P. M., and had his personal belong ings that would be needed at the hos pital, and was going out at that time. "I supposed he had gone directly to the hospital, and when I next heard of him was last night, when called on the telephone and told he had met with an accident and was dying. I supposed he had a hemorrhage and hurried to Good Samaritan hospital to find he was not there, but at St. Vincent's, and when I arrived there learned for the first time of what had transpired." 20,000 PERSOXS SEEK RELIEF FROM HEAT AT RESORT.

The delicacies had been tucked safely in the tonneau of the machine. When the hungry eight returned to the automobile theTre was nothing in the basket but a few badly-mussed morsels of food. Only the absence of any tell-tale jam on the faces of the children saved them from corporeal punishment.
