NOTED TRAVELER TO TELL
OF 0RLD'S MARVELS AT
BIG SUMMER GATHERINGS
. One of the interesting features of
the coming Chautauqua will be the B.
R. Baumgardt lectures. Prof. Baum
gardt is perhaps the bast known Chau
tauqua lecturer in the field today,
aside from probably two or three
world celebreties.
- Baumgardt first attained renown as
a scientist, later as a globe trotter,
and finlly as lecturer. He has ac
quired a wonderful knowledge of the
earth, having traveled in every inter
esting corner of the world, and at the
same time continued his scientific
studies of the stars and planets. This
wonderful knowledge, coupled with a
most interesting personality, and an
excellent delivery, has elevated Baum
gardt to a supreme place on the Am
erican lecture platform. The best
evidence of his poularity is the. fact
that whereever he has lectured he
has been re-engaged.
By rare good fortune the manage
ment of the Gladstone Chautauqua
was able to engage Prof. Baumgardt
for thrss lectures, at the coming as
sembly, July 18, 19 and 20th, the final
three evenings of the Chautauqua,
and a fitting close o the assmebly.
On his first appearance at Gladstone
park, Prof. Baumgrdt will tell of
"Venice, the City of Golden Dreams.
This lecture is one of Baumgardt's
masterpieces. In thrilling languags
he tells of the rise and fall of the
Venetian republic and the history of
the world's most beautiful city. The
life of Venice is one of the world's
romances, and in this scholarly ad
dress Baumgardt is found at his best.
Tha lecture is beautifully illustrated
with 122 remarkable lantern views, in
water color, which not only give a
faithful portrayal of the Venice of to
day, the dream city, vut also of Ven
ii at the height of her glory.
n!.. .1 in; e tt 11
i ue r leius aiiu rjurus 01 iNorway,
is an equally brilliant lecture. This
is Baumgardt's second ttieme, and on
the closing night his subject will be
"An Evening with the Stars."

Big Crowd Attends Brief Hearing,
and Later ( Listens to Soap
Box Harrangue by Out-
side Malcontents
Thomas Burns and J. D. Ransley,
socialist leaders of Portland, and
John Culver and Albert Jules, mem
bers of their party, who were arrest
ed Wednesday night of last week hers
when Burns attempted to hold a
street meeting, appeared before City
Recorder Livy Stipp for trial today,
and were immediately dismissed by
request of City Attorney William
Stone. The proceedings were exceed
ingly brief, and John J. Jeffrey, Port
land attorney, who had accompanied
the socialists prepared to fight their
case for them, did not get a chance to
get in even a word.
The four men and their attorneys
appeared promptly at three in the af
ternoon. The courtroom was crowd
ed to the doors, and they had some
difficulty injnaking their way to the
front. Immediately upon their ap
pearance City Attorney Stone rose
and said that the city desired 10
withdraw the charges against thev de
fendants, and asked that the case be
dismissed. Recorder Stipp "then form-j
ally dismissed the action, and left
the bench. For a minute the crowd
waited, not realizing what had occur-
Ted, and then everybody left the court
room.
On the street Burns, who was the
center of attention, paused to chat
with friends, holding a copy of the
novel "Hypatia" in "his hands, and
turning the pages as if he was re
ceiving inspiration from the book.
Special police and deputies loitered
near, while other officers followed the
rest of the party back and forth along
the street. There was no disturb
ance of any kind, and r.rter watching
the socialist' visitors. v,-to probably
numbered ten, t'.;e officers went on
their regular beats in about half an
hour. i
In the evening the socialists Held
street meetings, both men and wom
en speaking. At these meetings
they sold literature, but there was
no disorder, though a large crowd
congregated to listen to what the
speakers had to say. Throughout the
evening a large force of deputies kept
mingling with the crowds.
Among the speakers of the evening
was Thomas Burns, the Portland so
cialist leader, who was arrested last
Wednesday night. Burns assumed
full blame for the disturbance in the
mills Tuesday of last week, and de
clared that he and Ransley had start
ed the agitation.
' "And we're not done yet,"' he con
tinued. "The men in the mills will
be organized whether they want
be or not, and there will me more
'doings' in this town before we are
through."
In the course of the afternoon,
while patroling the streets on special
duty and keeping the crowds moving,
Policeman Lee French lost or had
stolen from him a valuable Red Men's
emblem, mounted upon gold stone.
French says he will appreciate it if
the finder will leave it at the Enter
prise office.

GLENDALFS BANK
ROBBED OF $2,000
According to news received from
Glendale by Sheriff E. T. Mass and
local banks, Ray Diamond, a Glendale
socialist is out in the Douglas county
wilds somewhere with $2,000 or more
in cash, and with 15 hours start on
the officers, who are seeking h,im lor
robbing the Glendale state bank.
According to the report, Diamond
entered the bank soon after itwas
opened, "stuck up'' the cashier, and
ordered him to fork over the money
in the cash trays of the safe. As the
robber left the bank the cashier and
passing citizens opened fire upon
him, but none of the shots took ef
fect. The robber is said to have lived in
Glendale about a yer, and has a
father residing there. He was gen

It is believed that he has planned the
robbery carefully, and that he has a
cache of provisions in the hill some
where. Officers anticipate a difficult
and long cjiase, and have not much
hope of overtaking him. Sheriffs in
all western counties in the state have
been asked to keep a lookout for the
young robber.
