WIT AND Opie Read Entertained a Big Audience Here IS A BELIEVER IN IDEALS Tells Splendid Stories and Philoso phises on tbe Drift .of Nation al Affairs "First One Thing and Then An other," by Opie Read, nttracted a large audience to the Baptist church Monday evening. Aud this famous author and lecturer, who appeared here under the auspices of the Com mercial Club, did not disappoint IiIb hearers. When he finished his ad dress a hearty round of applause was given him and the amlionce remain ed seated for a minute or two, appar ently hoping that he might go on. Mr. Read has been uMn the lecture platform so long that he not only knows how to entertain his hearers. but he leaves them filled with a de sire to hear him more. "First One Thing and Then An other" is what may be termed a med ley of good things that during the hour aud 20 minutes of Its delivery frequently runs the whole gamut of human emotions from mirth to tears and back again.' Summed up It is an effort which 1b bound to prove an uplift to humanity with a broaden ing of human affections nnd ideals, Droll and at times convulsing humor marks the progress of Mr. llend's lecture. Then sage wisdom. delivered In sparkling epigrams, de- iignts nis nearers. A spirit of hu manity as broad as time Itself Is next portrayed, this being illustrated by characters whose life-work sends forth bright beams of love which fin ally sweep away the passion for re venge which had boeu fostered for generations. To a coiiBidcrnble degree Mr. Read is an idcnllst, and he bollevcB the world Is growing better in spite of the maddening ruBh for sordid gain. That even the desperado has within him a spark of humanity which if rightly touched will become aglow with benevolent action. In another phase his sparkling bits of humor are clothed with the keenest, sarcasm. Needless to remark, Mr. Read la a prince of story tellers, and the 30 odd books (no pun Intended) which lie has written have only created an ever-increasing demand for more. He has others now. under way. One among the many humorous Incidents related was of the Indiana farmer who said about 40 of his hens were setting. A Buston miss overhearing this remark could not refrain from uBing the opportunity for a correction. She Interposed: "You mean that your hens are sitting." ' "Well," he replied, "they may be 'sitting' or they may be 'setting,' but wnen tnem liens air a encklin' can you tell me whether they air a layin' or a lyln'?" A Review representative had the privilege of a chat with Mr. Read shortly after his arrival In town, he Having come In on the afternoon train from the south. Mr. Read Is delight ed with Oregon scenery and climate and he also likes the people. On be ing urged to slay longer he remarked that he was like the itinornnt preach or, he had to keep going In order to meet Ills "applntments." One of the good stories he related, none of which were repeated at the lecture. was of the prevalence of the booster spirit. He says the people of Atlanta licorgia, are among the greatest boosters on earth. Once while he was there ho heard an Atlanta man they are all boosters talking with a resident of Savannah. He was lav ish In his praise of Atlanta, finally admitting that its only drawback was lacK of faculties for transportation by sea. Waxing enthsulastlc he de clared: "Why, If we only had the water over here, as you have. It wouldn't be long until we would have the world at our command." "Well," responded the Savannah Ite, "you Just lay a pipe over there, and if you can suck as hard as you can 'blow' it won't be long until you II have It." As above stated, Mr. Read Is a be Never In Ideals. A nation must have Ideals or it will have no progress and Is drifting toward ultimate dlssolu tlon. Ancient Greece and Rome are powerful Illustrations of this fart. He fears that our own country Is losing sight of its Ideals In the rap- Idly increasing tensity of the strug gle for wealth. Politically he sup- liorted McKlnw-y and Roosevelt This year he favored Bryan, for two reasons. In a republican (demo cratlc) form of government no presl dent should have the power to say who shall be his successor. Then the ldls of liberty and honor upon which this government wan founded are being lost sight of or subordin ated to the demands of business When material gain displaces the higher Ideals of any people, that na 1 ! r J J r 'I"!'

Ocntleinnii From AliiNka- Locates in Hutlierlin Valley. D. T. Noonan, who spent the past ten years In Alaska, with headquar ters at Fairbanks, arrived here from Seattle Saturday, having just come out from the far north. On the way down on the steamer he first heard of Douglas county and Sutlterbin val ley. Within 24 hours after his ar rival he had purchased something over 82 acres of the choice land In Suthei'liu valley, the aggregate price being something like $15,000, mostly paid cash down. He says Oregon Is the most talked of state on the coast. Kven In Seattle Oregon lands are be ing talked of on evory street corner. Seattle Investors are looking this way ajid are amazed at the low prices now ruling In this county for Irri gated and unlrrlgated lauds. Pres ent prices here are from one-third to one-half lower than in the Wash ington and other fruit districts. Mr. Noonan therofore lost no tune in purchasing before theao conditions change He departed Monday aftor- noon for Seattlo to close up some business matters, but expectB to re turn in about ten days to take up his residence, at Sutherliu. He will then probably add 40 to 60 acres more to his present purchases. He expects to begin orchard planting at the earliest possible date.

Jumps From Launch Into Bay Near Alcalraz CHOOSE DEATH TO REMOVAL San Francisco's Police Chief Breaks Down Under Criticism of His. Administration Special to the Evening Review. ' SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1. While roturntng to this city In a launch last night. Chief of Police Btegy. of Snn Francisco, was drowned off Al cntraz iBland. Circumstances indi cate clearly that it Is a case of sui cide. Blggy was smarting under the bitter criticism hurled at him In con nection with ithe circumstances sur rounding tho suicide of Morris Hass, the attempted Blayer of Francis J. Honey, aud was facing an official In vestigation Into his conduct as the result of that affair. Blggy went across the bay to Al catraz yesterday and talked with Commissioner Koll concerning the affairs of tho police department. Blg gy waa greatly worked up over the attacks against him In the newspap ers, but Kell told him to give the matter no rurtlier heed, when Blggy boarded the launch ut the Island he complained to Engineer Murphy ot reeling cold and went Into the cabin. After leaving Alcalraz, Murphy called to Blggy, but received no reply. He Investigated and found that Blggy had jumped overboard. This was about 10 o'clock. Ever since the attempt to assas sinate Honey, the police department has been in a state ot unrest. Blggy hns been mercilessly criticised and the newspapers printed stories to the effect that he should be remov ed. Yesterday, Blggy was Informed by one of the police commissioners thnt charges of dereliction and incom petency hnd been filed against him by ithe District Attorney's ofllce through Dotectlve Burns. The the ory Is that Blggy feared removal as the outcome of these charges and preferred death Instead. A. D. Cut ler, president of the Board of Police Commissioners, has been appointed to act as Chief of Police until such time as Mayor Taylor can name a new official. Blggy's divorced wife declared to day that his mind must have given away. "Ho was too good a Catholic to commit suicide," she said. "He did not drink, and I think he must have been mentally deranged." Blggy first came- Into prominence througlvhls appointment as elisor for Abe lluef, the regular officials then In power being considered too closely associated with the Indicted boss politically and otherwise to be en trusted with his keeping. Upon the removal of Chief of Police Wlttman, tho Job fell to Blggy. He was con sidered at that time a staunch friend of the graft prosecution, but gradually he foil under suspicion. Mntcrs reached a climax after the suicide of Hass, It being . openly charged that this was made possible through the poor mothods of Blggy'e administration. "Uncle Coe" Durland was over from Oakland today. He Is one among thousands of staunch repub licans of this state who believe that ('hamlierlaln should be elected U.. S. senator, and that every Statement No. I member ot the legislature la bound by every sound principle of honesty to vote for him. Louis Pecker was In from Coles Valley today. Everything is moving as usual there. W. T. Wright, Asst. Cathie i
