THE MOENIKG QREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusements Tonight. IQUAM GRAND-'The Belle of New York." CORDRAT'S THEATER Collamarini In "Car men." JJETROPOLITAN "A Turkish Bath." One Hunter's Sad Experience. The life of a duck-hunter is not always alto gether a happy one. A large number were out for ducks Sunday, and while som made very fair bags, the greater num ber had poor sport. The best shooting was done over on the Columbia bottoms. On Sauvle's Island, there was snow, and 10 Inches fell there Sunday night. Snow on the ground makes It rather cool for one to be comfortable sitting out In a blind. One sportsman who has a large preserve rented and a man employed to look after his shooting and'feed the ducks bad a rather unpleasant experience Sun day. He had directed his keeper to build a new blind on a lake where he had not been shooting. As It is desirable to have decoys out by daylfeht. In order to get the early shooting, be and the keeper started two hours before daylight for the new blind, loaded with 18 live decoys and 200 cartridges. They tramped through the darkness for three miles without finding the new blind and then the keeper said be was lost- Then Captain Riley took the lead, and waded a slough up to his armpits, which took the keeper up to his neck, and finally found the new blind, and by this time he was s mad that he con cluded not to shoot. He also found that the keeper had let some one ehoot over his preserve In the middle of the week, and this did not add to his happiness. He came home without ony ducks, and not pleased, either. Pleased With Reduction. Large num. bere of people are calling at the water works office to pay their water rates, and many of them take occasion to express their satisfaction with the reduction of 25 cents on their bill. One woman said 25 cents is not much, but in the course of a year It will buy a pair of shoes, and an other said the reduction enabled her to subscribe for a magazine she had long wanted, and so on. Very many speak of the reduction and express their satisfac tion. The reduction is about the most far-reaching that could have been made, as it not only applies to houses, but to stores, factories and every place where there are sanitary appliances. The reduc tion of 25 cents amounts to $28,000, almost 10 per cent of the Income from the sale of water. Water rates here appear high to residents of some Eastern cities, but com pared with the rates charged here before the city bought the water works, they are very low. In most Eastern cities there is either a direct tax on property lo help support the water works, or a frontage tax on all property on streets where there are water mains. Portland has no tax of any kind for the benefit of the water works, and the cost of opera tion, maintenance and Interest on bonds are all paid from the water rates, and any surplus. Instead of going Into a sink ing fund, is used on extension of mains and other betterments. Switchman Crushed to Death. That he had given the signal which started the cars and led to the accident causing his death, formed part of the evidence in the case of Lloyd B. Egbert, heard at the inquest before the Coroner yesterday. It was shown that Egbert, who .was em ployed as a switchman by the Northern Pacific Terminal Company, was crushed to death as he stood upright between two vestlbuled cars he was coupling, last Sun day, in the Terminal yards. Egbert was 30 years old, and came to Portland last July. Witness testified that the cars work automatically, and that Egbert stepped between the cars to loosen a part of the coupling known as a "knuckle," but that he did not step aside at the proper time, for some unknown reason, and that he was crushed when the two vestibules crashed together. Egbert had raised his arms as a signal to the engineer, that the way was clear. He was known as a care ful railroad man and experienced switch man. He left a widow and one son, and hte body will be taken to his former home, at Hammond, Vls., for burial. New Bowlino Records. E. E. Mallory, secretary of the American Cocked Hat Association, has received news of two new records made on association alleys In Seattle. Dr. F. A. Churchill, of Seattle, succeeded in bowling a perfect game, making a score of 90. He made 12 clean strikes, with no fly-backs from the alley. The game was also bowled In competition. Dr. Churchill Is well known In Portland, having been on many of the visiting teams, and local bowlers are glad that the honor of holding the world's record, made under such square conditions, has gone to him. The former record of 89 was made by A. E. Rosslter, on the Oregon Road Club alleys. The other new record -was made by Mr. Hugglns, of Seattle for the score of 233 In a four-game tourna ment. He made this record whllle bowl ing against Tacoma. January Z. making El, 52, 65, 71, as scores for the four games. The former record of 233 was also held by Rosslter. Injected Onion Juice. County Physi cian McKay, who has his hands full in looking after patients at the County Hos pital, was called on Sunday evening to treat a colored dope-fiend, known as "Pig Iron Bill." Being deprived of morphine, this wretched wreck, punctured his arm with a brass pin and with a "pipette," or medicine dropper, injected onion juice and tobacco juice into his arm. This brought on blood poisoning, and Dr. Mc Kay was obliged to chloroform him and put a discharge tube in his arm. Funeral op Ralph Jacobs. The fu neral of Ralph Jacobs was held yesterday morning at the family residence. West Park and Montgomery- streets. The serv ices were conducted by Dr. Stephen S. Wise. Many floral tributes were, sent in by the friends of deceased. The inter ment took place at Beth Israel cemetery. The pallbearers were M. Lang, C. A. Do'ph, J McCraken, J. N. Teal. F. M. Cohn, S.

Hospital. The cold weather which has prevailed since January 1 has- had the effect of crowding the County Hospital with patients, who from exposure have contracted pneumo nia, typhoid pneumonia and kindred com plaints. Ezra Leland, the old man from the eastern part of the county, who was brought In under arrest for shooting his J son-in-law, Is a hopeless paralytic, ana has to be fed like a child. A man named Shroeder was taken from a shack on Fifth street suffering from pneumonia; a Mrs. Croker was brought In from Fulton Park, paralyzed, and William Dulton Tfras taken out yesterday, suffering from -ty-pho-pneumonla.

Tracer nnd Case In Splendid Condi tion for the Fight Next Krldny Msirt. As the time approaches for the big box ing event to take place next Friday even ing at the Exposition Building, interest amongst the sporting classes is increasing to fever heat. Not since the days of the late Jack Dempsey have two such clever, hard-hitting men been matched In Port land. It Is difficult to find any two men willing to agree as to the probable win ner In the coming event, and both men have hosts of friends. Tracey's recent performances In this city have added to his hitherto excellent reputation, and he Is undoubtedly capable of putting up a winning light with almost any man of his weight in the United States. He is a splendid judge of distance, and one of the best ring generals that "has ever donned the mitts. He never overlooks an opening or an opportunity to worry an opponent. Case is a natural-born fighter, and never afraid to mix up, as he is a hard hitter with lots of vitality. He has been win ning all of his fights lately, and feels confident of the result next Friday night. Both men are hard as nails, and no se vere training will be Indulged In for the next few days. Just enough exercise will be taken to keep within the stipulated weight, 144 pounds. The public are as sured that both men will strain every norve to secure a victory, and nothing that savors of fake will be tolerated by the management, which Is In most capa ble hands. A six-round preliminary be tween Jost and La" Fontise will whet the appetite of the spectators for the main event. BEST YET PRESENTED. The attractions at the Fredericksburg Music Hall are exceptionally strong this week; in fact, the best yet presented. Last evening the audiences were more than pleased, and it is needless to state many will avail themselves of the oppor tunity now offered. The 20th-century ac robats, the marvelous Malvern family, prove a strong card. For clean-cut, beau ful, fascinating work, their equal bas never been seen In the city. De Caprla, late trombone soloist of the famous Ital ian Marine Band, was highly appreciated. He made his first appearance last night, and was really given an ovation. He was accompanied by an orchestra that has no superior In the city. Another new feature is the laughable pantomime, "The Trick Cottage," by the Rexglnoes. The Australian novelty wonder. Professor Montague's bird circus, will appear for one wek only. It Is well worth seeing. Portland people dq not realize that they have In the Fredericksburg the best free show In America. It Is superior to Its only rival, the Los Angeles Orpheum. It i a difficult matter to get talent Into this territory, but the management of the Fredericksburg has made arrange ments. In connection with the .eading amusement house of Honolulu and with rifher's Concert Hall, of San Francisco, wblrh will result In the booklnjr here of the cream of the Australian and trai.s Fadflc attractions. And this circuit, es tablished with San Francisco and Hono lulu, will result In giving Portland the advantage of all Eastern bookings made for this house. IN A HURRY TO REACH SPO KANE?

BY Ar DIRECT VOT for Ciioosmg a United States Senator, - VOTERS TO SHOW PREFERENCE Senator F. P. Slnya 'Will Introduce an Act Wlitcb, If 'Passed, Will Show Legislature the Choice of Oregon Electors. State Senator F. P. Mays will intro duce a bill at the coming session of the Legislature to provide for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, so far as the same may" be done without conflict with the Consti tution of the United States. The Consti tution of the United States, Revised Statutes, .provides for the election of United States Senator by the Legisla tures of the different states of the Union. Mr. Mays In his bill provides that the names of candidates for United States Senator shall be printed on the official ballot, and voted for at each general elec tion, and the result Is to be submitted to the Legislature The presumption Is that the Legislature will bow to the voice of the people and elect the candidate who shall have received the highest number of votes, but this may not be done, because the Legislature Is by the law of the United States vested with full power In the matter, and the members of that body 1 can elect any one senator wnom tney please. Irrespective of the wishes of the voters of the state as- expressed by their ballot, although it Is not to be supposed that such a course would be pursued. The act la drawn to fit the primary law, now In force, and so as not to conflict with any primary law which may .hereafter be passed. The bill is as follows: A bill for an act to Instruct the Senators and Representatives of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon as to the election of Senators In Congress. Whereas, It is desirable that the people should have an opportunity to Instruct their Senators and Representatives In the Legisla tive Assembly as to the election of a Senator In Congress from Oregon: therefore, be It en acted by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: Section 1. At all general elections next pre ceding the election of a Senator In Congress by the Legislature of Oregon, there shall be placed upon the official ballot by each of the County Clerks the names of the regularly nom inated candidates of all political parties repre sented thereon for the said office of Senator, the votes for which candidates shall be count ed and certified to by the respective election Judges at the same time and In the same manner as the vote for other candidates, a'hd duplicate abstracts of the vote for such candi date shall be made out and sworn to by the board of canvassers of each county of the state, one of which shall ba addressed to the Senate and the other to the House of Repre sentatives of the State of Oregon, and such duplicates shall be sent to the Secretary of State by such board, ons copy of which shall be delivered by him to the President of the Senate and the other to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, immediately after the next organization of such bodies, which officers shall open and Jay the same before the separate houses when first assembled to elect a Senator In Congress as now required by law of Congress; and It shall be the duty of each house to count the votes and announce the candidate for Senator having the highest num ber; and thereupon the houses shall proceed 'to 1 the election of a Senator as required by the act of Congress and the constitution of -this state. Senator Mays, In speaking of his bill, said: "I have covered the subject as far as possible, and If any one has a better bill to substitute, I will willingly with draw mine in Its favor. "This measure will Inform the Legisla ture, unequivocally, whom the people of Oregon prefer for Senator. I would like to be able to compel the Legislature, by means of the measure, to vote for the person the people prefer, but this cannot be done, as It would conflict with the Federal law. The nearest approach that can be made Is to have the Legislature distinctly understand who the people want, and If members are earnest In their declarations of being anxious to follow the wishes of their constituents there will be no difficulty In the matter. Of course, It Is Impossible to say to a Legis lature: 'You must do this or that, and the Legislature, even after knowing the preference of the people, can turn down the hoped-for aspirant and elect someone else. But this bill Is as far as you can go, and conform to the law." "THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.' First Production of Phil F. Rogo May's Drama. Phil F. Rogaway's romantic drama, "The Day of Atonement," was played for the first time last night to an audience that comfortably filled the Marquam, up stairs and down. Judging from the ap plause it received, it made a decided im pression. The play, founded on Victor Hugo's "Los Miserables," concerns the fortunes of a Russian Jew who escapes from Si beria and is rescued from a mob in Mos cow by an aged rabbi, whose counsels lead him to a better life. The hero goes forth from Moscow determined to become a man of mark, and, after making a record on a battle-field, which serves to give the villain a chance for his machina tions, he lahds in Montreal, Canada, where his worth Is recognized, and he Is elected Mayor by a large majority. While the hero has been rising from ob scurity to fame, the daughter of the rabbi who saved him marries a scamp, who deserts her, and, after many wanderings, she turns up In Montreal bereft of her child, which Is "In hock" with a family who boarded its mother. The woman hears that the Mayor is . handing out charity to all comers, and applies to him to assist her In rescuing her child. He is about to comply, when a Russian detec tive arrives on the scene and develops a determination to arrest him for the mur der of the rabbi, who was found dead under circumstances that were, to say the. leastl suspicloust but whom It is needless to announce, the Mayor did not murder. An Interesting Interview, with a lively prospector a "gun play," ensues, but the Mayor finally disposes of his pursuer, and the arrest of the real murderer In Rus sia n little later obviates any immediate necessity of the detective's further pres ence In Montreal. Thus freed from the rather galling fear of being thrown into prison, the Mayor goes forth to rescue the child, an act which he accomplishes while the mother is engaged In expiring. Her death, and the triumph of such of the actors as are in the right, and the confusion of those who are in the wrong, make up a plot that, with a little Im provement here and there, will make the groundwork for a verylnteresting play. Mr. Rogoway himself ap'peared In the part of Nicholas Karpenoff, ex-convlct, great General and Philanthropic Mayor, and his acting was easy and natural be yond the expectations of his v friends. There was Just a suspicion of brogue in the lines of George Mortimer, who ap peared as Rabbi Eleazer, which was not altogether In keeping with the character, but hts make-up was excellent, and he seemed sufficiently to feel the dignity of his calling. Morris Ambromevltch. In trusted to the keeping of Fritz Abendroth, was sufficiently villainous In appearance to arouse- the Ire of the gallery, and Hiram Woods, as the detective, filled tol erably the chink allotted to Mm. Miss M. Lena Morrow, as Fanny, the unfortunate daughter of the rabbi, and Miss Henri etta vanderhautt, as Mrs. Rachel Ber. j nard, played the leading women's parts acceptably. Little Nattl Swett had a thinking part as Julie, and looked it. For an amateur production, the play was well staged and evenly, presented. While crud ities arising from the fact that many of the cast spoke for the flr3t time in public on the stage gave rise to some levity at times when gravity was due from the audience, this was not the fault of the play, and Mr. Rogoway may feel assured that he has the groundwork of a drama of considerable merit. It should, however, be Intrusted to a man familiar with the stage and with the art of making plays for the finishing touches that It needs. HOTELS VERY BUSY. Midwinter Patronage Much Heavier Than Usual. The principal hotels are thronged with guests these days, although travel Is sup posed to be lightest at this time bf year. The approaching session of the Legis lature has an influence ort the hotel busi ness, as both members and lobbyists are beginning to reach Portland from interior points, the former to confer with each other in approaching questions, artd the latter to buttonhole for favors. Squads of business-looking men are seen conferring in various Quarters, and the casual ob server can very quickly see that there is a "hen on." After next Monday this con nublatlng will have been transferred to the dome-crowned halls of Salem. Timber-land dealers are also much In evidence, and each day adds to their num ber, as Oregon nr nas acquireo iamt in the East, and the cheapness of Oregon timber land has become noised among those who were instrumental in denuding the forests of Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. The bad weather now prevail ing in the woods drives both cruisers and purchasers Into the city, and the hotels are the most convenient places for them to meet and compare notes. The drummer, who was not 'very nu merous during the holidays, is again on the road, and his presence adds to the already lively throng. The homeseeker, also, who finds this the best time to leave his snow-covered home In the East, is on hand In Portland, looking for a favorable location, and all these, with the regular line of business travel, go to make up the hum of voices that greets the visitor on entering the main office of a Portland hotel. The crowds are forerunners of a busy season in the Northwest during 1S0L 0 SALE IS CONFIRMED. East Side Rallvray Pas'ses Into Bank er Morris Hands. An order confirming the sale of the East Side Railway Company's property was made by Judge- 'Bellinger, In the United. States Court yesterday, and the property passed Into the ,handB of the purchaser, F. S Morris, of Morris & Whitehead, bankers. Trie purchase price was paid In bonds of the" company, a (sec ond mortgage and receiver's certificates. On the presentation of the order of court confirming the sale. Receiver C. H. Pres cott and Superintendent A. L. Maxwell turned the office and property over to Mr. Morris, who is now In full control. The action of the court disposes of all pe titions of creditors who wished to inter vene or to delay confirmation of the sale, and "the Incident Is closed." Just what Mr. Morris intends to do with the property iemains to be seen. As It Is now a valuable" property and produc tive, he may operate the lines or he may bond it and sell the bonds. It Is his 'to do what he pleases with It. MUSICAL TREAT. Mile. Dolores' Engagement Eagerly " Awaited. The Musical Club presents, In the re cital of Mile. Dolores, at the Marquam Grand, Friday evening, January 11, an op portunity, not only for the cultured music-lover to enjoy pure singing, but for students to purchase one of the best les sons ever bought so cheaply. H. M. Bos worth, of the Examiner, says: "Nothing seems lacking regarding" her recitals. The Interpretation is beyond criticism, so in telligent, sincere and eloquent; the volco of phenomenal richness and range; tech nical art reduced to complete subjection to expression;nothlng but the best mat ter offered, and Invariably sung In the most exemplary manner. Who could, or ever did, give us such rich and varied se lections, and go through such arduous programmes with the glorious, healthy triumph that makes her concerts phenom enal? . . . No cheaper music lesson could be purchased." THE POULTRY SHOW. Last evening the state poultry show was formally opened to the public. The attendance was exceedingly gratifying. Itt Is by far the finest display of the kind yet made, as regards quality of the ex hibits. As one prominent poultry official expressed It, "There Is not a scrub fowl to be seen." The management desires to especially Impress upon parents the ad vantages of having the children brought into contact with the many Interesting features of the exhibition. It will delight and Instruct them all. Washington Socialist Party. COLFAX, "Wash., Jan. 7. The Socialist party of the State of Washington was or ganized here Saturday by F. ,J.
