Attest to the Excellence
of The Performance
A Dig Night
Tbe publicity committee of the com
ing Starwberry Oarnival are "warm
ing up" and following is the result:
There are a number of people in
Roueburg who feel very willing to
contribute toward the success of the
Roseburg Strawberry Carnival, and
an apportulty will be given to them
next Tuesday evening. The high
school JuniorB will present the "Mer
chant of Venice," by request of the
finance committee of the carnival and
theBe young people have very kindly
offered to donate their services, so
that practically the entire receipts
from the performance will go to the
carnival committee.
The committee is In need of funds
to carry ou a successful campaign,
and request that the people of Kose
burg fill the opera house next Tues
day evening, and thus show their ap
preciation of the efforts of the young
people, as well as to materially as
sist in the success of the carnival.
There are a good many people In
Roseburg who could well afford to
contribute to the carnival In this
manner, and In addition to feeling
that they have assisted in the suc
cess of the carnival, they will re
ceive their money's worth during the
evening. The play is well worth the
price on its own merits, and pre
sented by our young people and for
so worthy a cause, It Is deserving of
a full house.
There are a number of Roseburg
people who do not feel that they
can afford to subscribe ton dollars
or more to the Buccess of the carni
val, but who can. without any visible
effort, purchase tickets to this excel
lent home talent show, and by so
doing, show that they are patriotic
citizens, and that they are willing to
assit In the success of the carnival
tQ this extent.
The entertainment drew a full
house on its first presentation and
evtry one was well pleased with the
excellence exhibited by the young
people of the high school.
.1. W. Perkins, president of the
commercial club, says It Is the best
homo talent show ever given In Rose
buri,'. Mayor llnynes, was so pleased
with it that he expects to attend the
second performance.
III. A. C. Keely, who Is quite an ex
pert In judging meritorious enter
tainments, says that every person In
Roseburg who can obtain a seat
should attend.
Senator Abraham says that it Is

Representative George Xeuner says
that he would not miss it for ten
dollars.
Representative Buchanan says that
the only reason he would not attend
the second performance Is because
he fears his presence might prevent
some other person spending an en
joyable evening, but that, he will
purchase tickets even It he has to
stand to see the performance.
0. P. Coshow says that he will
not permit any other engagement
to Interfere with his attendance, as
he feels that the young people are
deserving of encouragement, and
their generous offer should be ap
preciated by the people of Roseburg,
especially as it will materially as
sist in the financing of the deficit
existing in the Carnival funds.

not permit business to Interfere with
such a splendid opportunity to spend
a pleasant evening.
1. H. Booth says that the enter
tainment is well worth the price In
itself, and the added features of be
ing given by the high school juniors
and for the benefit of the carnival
committee should make every man
feel It his duty to purchase a tick
et, even If it la impossible for him
to attend.
The favorable comments on the en
tertainment might Jie continued In
definitely, but the above are sufficient
to demonstrate to all that they
should hasten to procure their tick
ets, and thereby recognize the gen
erous offer of the high school Juniors
and assist materially In the removal
of the present deficit In the carnival
funds.
Remember one night only, at the
city theatre, corner Washington and
Jackson streets, Tuesday evening,
eight o'clock. Please be present.
Please note the following impor
tant additions:
Louie Itelseiisloln promises to at
tend this performance and purchase
two seats for himself, and his criti
cisms will be the reBiilt of personal
knowledge.
Al Treason says he will go If It
costs him a dollar's worth of gaso
line. Clark Brothers have agreed to cut
out salmon fishing for two hours In
order to attend. The whole office
force of The News actually offer to
pay for tickets to the show, and
both A. C. Marsters and Thomas
Sheridan promise the entire financial
sunoort of both banks.
The only person who refuses to
imrchase a ticket is t'liirl: Itargar,
who Is sore because he says they are
advertising a "merchant or Venice ,
and are therefore discriminating
against his business.

PEOPLE WANT LARCER CONTROL
Recall and Initiative Will Materially
Assist In Excluding Corrupt
Politicians from Positions
of Public Trust.
(Special to The Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, April 20. Speak
ing on the ad ml as Ion of Arizona to
the union, Senator John D. Works,
republican insurgent of California,
delivered his maiden speech In the
senate today. Ho said in part:
"A territory U asking to be admit
ted to the union. Her plea for ad
mission Is met not with the claim
that Bhe does not possess the neces
sary territory or population, but
solely because her constitution pro
vides for direct legislation. The
people are insisting that they shall
be permitted to govern their own
country nnd taht it shall not be
corrupted and governed by tbe pow
er of money in the bands of men who
care nothing for government except
as moans of Increasing their vast
wealth. This widespread uprising
against corruption Is founded upon
the most convincing evidence. We
need not go outside of this cham
ber to find evidence of this fact.
"It Is not my purpose to reargue
that case. 1 am citing It to show why
the people of this country may Just
ly claim a larger share in the selec
tion of their oltloers and the control
of legislation. When the people at
tempt to limit the power of their
representatives and nssumo some of
that power themselves by ignoring
the itnfnltbfud representatives and
acting directly at the polls or by re
calling them and substituting honest
and acpable representatives In their
places, the cry Is raised that this ef
fort to control their representatives,
and their government is a violation
of the constitution. This 1h the is
sue that confronts us today. The pro
posed constitution of Arizona pro
vldos for the initiative, referendum
and recall. Objection Is made to
the admission of this territory as a
state on this ground and this alone.
Referendum an Old Law.
"The referendum has been In force
for certain purposea In almost If not
quite every state In tbe union from
the beginning and that In the moat
important of all questions the ad
option and amendment of constitu
tions desires mnny other things,
The Initiative and referendum has
been In force in Oregon for some
time and the question of tho const!
tuttonallty of such legislation has
been before tho supreme court of
that stato more than once.
I am not expecting the millennium
to come In politic. If direct legis
lation shall be universally adopted
In this country. After all, and 1n
the final analysis, the stability of our
Institutions must depend upon the
honesty and patriotism of our people.
Who Has Better Way?
"Can any senator suggest a better
way than that of giving greater pow
er to the people through tho direct
primary and tho initiative, referen
dum and recall?
California Itose4 Kouted.
"I 8enk from knowledge when I
say that the corporato Interests and
political bosses of my own stuto have
been utterly routed, our polities pur
ified, tho standard of citizenship ele
aled and the con tide nee of tho peo
ple in better conditions vastly in
rreFPd thrunirh these reform alone.
They have banished tho political
raiieus and convent Ion, the eonven
lenl tools of eorruptfonists. nnd made
every voter (nde endont to do his
own will at the polls.
"When-us, before, one great cor
poration, with Its allied forces of
evil, nominated and elected our of
ficers and the. officers elected were
i!s pervants and not the servant" of
The people. At the first election after
the prtmarv election law went Into
force wo elwted nn holiest, courag
eous and Independent Government-
a man who takes orders from no
corporation, machine or host; a lieu
tenant governor of the same rullhre
and tho bet legislature the state

Protection from IlrilH-ri.

ont. ho have come here w 1th this
constitution, so framed a to protect
them and their new state from fraud,
corru lit ton and bribery In election
and In public, office,
Itccnfl n CoiiKtitullotiitl.

purposed constitution, anil the HkM
eiven to recall jtidtHM offers In de
nounced as particularly obnotlonv I

has th question whether I r any
other senator d'ps or does not be

"The provision for the recall In not

that affects Arizona alone and one
that her peoeple have a right to settle
for themselves."
COUPLE AllK AKKKSTKD.
Accused of Statutory Offense Ily
FtchI It. Day.
Acting upon a complaint filed by
Fred R. Day, who Uvea on a farm
near Oakland, District Attorney Geo.
M. Brown caused a warrant to be ls-
Bued out of JuBtice of the Peace R.
W. Marsters' court late yesterday
charging Mrs. Day, wife of the com
plainant, and Ore Pllklngton, both
of whom reside at Oakland, with a
statutory crime. Sheriff George
Qulne instructed his deputy at Oak
land to arrest the couple this morn
ing and they will probably arrive
here in custody of the o Ulcer this
evening.
The domestic life of Day' and hlB
wife has been somewhat "ruffled",
and only recently the former filed a
suit for divorce. This suit Is at
present pending In the circuit court
of Douglas county and will probab
ly be tried during the May term. In
his suit for divorce, filed on Febru
ary 7, 1911, Day alleged that he and
his wife were married at Vancouver,
Wash., on January 30, 1909, and lat
er removed to the vicinity of Oak
land where they located on a farm.
For a time, be contends, things went
well, but finally there came tho
hour of disappointment and he was
compelled to seek relief m the
courts. Among othtr allegations, he
alleges that bis wife frequently vis
ited at Oakland, but instead of so
liciting medical treatment as pre
tended, spent tho time In the com
pany of men otner than himself. Day
also alleges In his complaint that
upon one occasion Mb wife was de
tected sitting In the lap of another
man, much to his humiliation. Day
also contends that at tbe time of
his marriage he wa owner of 221
acres of land, located near Oakl -J
but for business reasons, deeded it
to Mrs. Day without consideration.
Ho claims that she agreed to recon
vey It to him upon request, but in
this she has failed. No children
were born to their union.
On February 9, 1911, tho day fol
lowing the filing of the preceding
complaint, Mrs. Day filed an answer
l:i which she denied each nnd every
allegation contained In tho com
plaint, save tho contention that she
was married to Day and that they
had since lived on a farui-near Oak
land. In her answer she further
set out that sho was destitute, and
was unable to raise sufficient money
with which to contest tho suit, t'on
peouentlv. sho petitioned the court
for an order directing tho plaintiff
to liquidate the costs Incurred In her
defense, and the same was heard hy
Judge Hamilton In February. Mrs.
Day alleged that her husband owned
personal property valued at approxi
mately $:l.0tt0, and was well able to
provide tho necessary money. In her
answer, Mrs. Day admitted mat ane
owned tho property in question. In
vlovlng about 220 acres, but said
that she was unable to realize on
tho same on account of Day s suit.
Following Mrs. Day's answer to
tho original complaint. Dny filed an
other Butt through his attorneys,
Fullerton & Orcutt, in which he ask
ed to recover possession of the land
deeded to his. wife at the time of
their marriage. In this complaint.
Day alleged that he deeded tho prop
erty to hla wife, on April fi, 1909
for business reasons, and with the
understanding that It was to be re-
conveyed to him at such time as he
mluht make request. He contends
that ho acted In good faith, and up
on frequent occasions, asked her to
transfer tbe deeds. He says she ut
terly refused to act, and consequent
ly made It Incumbent upon him to
file the second suit, lie asks for a
decree setting aside the deed, an I
the return of the properly.
With tho case against Mrs. Trnv
and Ora Pllklngton filed, the troubles
of the family are moie perplexing,
and appearances tend to show tba1

controversy will bo Investigate.!

L PASO, April 21. Every citi
zen ot El Paso Ib on the anxious
seat of expectancy today, eagerly
waiting for 3 o'clock, at which hour
Madero said he would open Are on
Juarez unless Diaz abdicates or Nar-
varo surrenders to the insurgents.
Insurgent battle lines are spread
through tho hills west and south of
Juarez, and the general opinion Ib
that a battle will bo fought. On the
American side .of Ithe borden the
United States troops were drawn up
in double cordon to prevent citizens
from Rutting into the dangor zone in
event the battle Is Inaugurated. The
chief four of the insurgents is that
ome of the over inquisitive Ameri
cans may get hurt from stray bul
lets. In event Juarez is nttuc.ked
from the Hnuche sldo It is almost
cortnln that El Paso will be In line
uf lire from the fedornlH, and under
i hose circumstances, feeling here
running high, it Is probable that
American citizens will return tho
shots.

EL PASO, April 21. A movement
of 500 rebels from the hills toward
Juarez at noon today marked what
Is believed lo he the beginning of
evolutions lending to n general at
