10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, 'APRIL' 7, 1902. SHOT BY A ROBBER Milkman Is Wounded by Highwayman's Bullet, HOLD-UP ON SLAVIN ROAD Gottlelb Zncrcher Falls to Halt Promptly, and Knight of Road Fire-Hone Runs Avrajr and Saves "Driver. An armed highwayman attacked Gott lelb Zuercher, of Cedar Mills, shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning, on the Slavln road, and because Zuercher would not halt when commanded to do so he was shot In the right leg. He managed to drive Into town and was taken In the patrol wagon to the Good Samaritan Hos pital. Zuercher drives a milk wagon, and was driving into town with cans of milk for his customers, when at a lonely part of the Slavln road, near the steam railroad trades, the highwayman suddenly sprang from behind some bushes. "Hands up!" he yelled, leveling his pis tol. The horse was going at a lively trot Just then, and Zuercher could not have stopped the wagon Immediately, had he desired to do so. Thinking that his victim waa about to escape, the robber fired and the bullet entered and passed through the fleshy part of Zuercher's right leg above the knee. The report of the shot scared the horse, and the latter raced at his top speed, pulling the wagon after him. Seeing that his prey was rapidly getting out of reach, the robber made no attempt to pursue, but gave up the chase; Although -suffering from loss of blood, Zuercher drove to his usual rendezvous, Second street, near Salmon, where he re lated his adventure. The police were no tified, and Jailer Johnson took the Injured man to the hospital, where his wound was dressed. He will be In the hospital for a week or so, unless unexpected complica tions set In. When shot Zuercher had about $20 In his possession. It was rumored around the Slavin road last night that two other milkmen had been attacked by a robber shortly before Zuercher -was shot, ut the police were unable to give the other victims' names. FINE VAUDEVILLE BILL. Programme nt the Baker Fall of Bright Auiubcrs. Zoa Mathews was the bright particular star of the vaudeville at the Baker The ater last night and yesterday afternoon, on both of which occasions the house was as full as it would hold. Miss Mathews Is one of the few people who know how to sing and act a coon song, and she scattered sunshine over the audience with half a dozen of the "brightest and newest that have been turned out. She was assisted by a sure-enough pickaninny, who is a singer on his own account. Miss Mathews appeared afterward in a sketch entitled "Mrs. O'Grady'e "Wash Day," In which she and Charles Stanley did some funny things, Stanley doing some slack wire walking that was unusually good. Matt Keefe and William Murray were next to Miss Mathews in the favor of the audience. Their skit, "The Student and the Coon," contained some good ping ing and bright jokes, and was one of the best of Its kind that has been seen at the theater since vaudeville was inaugu rated there. Gertrude McGuIrk and "Violette Craig did a sketch which made something of a hit with the house, and both were well received. Meriillls brothers, shadow graphers, gave an original turn with fig ures, the shadows of which were thrown on canvas, and various scenes from life were portrayed to the edification of the audience. DeBoe, the upside-down man, per formed some topsy-turvy feats of more than passing merit, and was warmly ap plauded. Forest and Callahan, two clever tooys, put on a bright turn, which was one of the features of the evening. Luella Montague exhibited a troupe of wonderfully docile cats, most of them pluma-talled Angoras, the mere sight of which was a treat. The animals, which tare ordinarily slow to respond to the trainer, were made to walk a rope, step ping over two tempting white mice as they did so; Jump through blazing hoops, see-saw and do numerous other things 'which astonished the audience almost be yond belief. The programme will run the entire week, with matinees "Wednesday and Saturday. It will be the last of vaudeville for the present, as It will be followed by the Ralph Stuart Company in "By Right of Sword." COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Arlxona" at the Mnrqnnm Tonight. Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater "Arizona," Augustln Thomas' most suc cessful play, will begin a three-night en gagement. This wholesome, picturesque American play ran for 150 nights at the Herald-Square TheaterT New York, and then repeated its feat by making a record Tun of three months at the Academy of Music, beginning on August 16 last. The Eastern critics have, with one voice, de clared that "Arizona" is a better play than "Alabama," by the same author. "When they have said that, they have said, to most American theater-goers, that it Is the best American play of recent production. Among the principal artists in the "Arizona" company are Frazer Coulter and Grace Thorne, former mem bers of the Boston Museum Stock Com pany. Dustln Farnum, Grace Elllston, Alma Bradley, Dodson Mitchell and Jane Bliss Taylor are well-known metropolitan artists, whose names are associated with a recent long and successful run of "Ari zona" at the Academy of Music, New York. Indications point to one of the ban ner engagements of the season. Field's Minstrels. Tomorrow morning, at 10 o'clock! the sale of seats will open forAl G. Field's Minstrels, which come to "the Marquam Grand Theater next Thursday and Friday nights. A recent engagement to the Al G. Field Greater Minstrels which has cre ated a stir in amusement circles is that of the wonderful Walton troupe of Eu ropean acrobats. They come direct from the London Hippodrome, under contract to Mr. Field for his present tour. Al though for some years progressive man agers have strived to secure this remark able family, the flattering offer made them by Al G. Field was the first to suc ceed in inducing them to come, and this Is their first appearance In the theaters of America, A Grand Scenic Revival. Next Saturday, matinee and night, the date set for the appearance of the James 13. Delcher Company's grand revival of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the "Shrew," in which the popular star, Charles S3. Hanford, will be seen at the Marquam Grand Theater, is awaited with interest by local theater-goers. This famous play is the only one of the .great poet's com edies that has a plot and a moral. The production to be seen here will be present ed by one of the most capable companies on the road today, and Includes, besides Mr. Hanford, who will be seen as the dashing Petruchio, Miss Helen Grantly, a young, handsome and accomplished Eng lish actress, whose interpretation of Kath erlne has elicited pleasing comments from able critics all over the country; Marie Drofnah. Emma Hayner, William J. Shea, Irving Knight, P. A. Nannary. Harold Fiske, Paul Anderson. R. O. Meech, O. W. Browning and John C. Davla. TO DISCUSS MISSIONS. The Woman's Society of Methodist Church Meets Tomorrow. The second quarterly or mid-year meet ing of the Columbia River branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church will be held at Grace Church tomorrow, beginning at 9:30 A. M. and continuing through the day. Much interest centers in this meeting, which is second only in importance to the annual gathering In October. The general society of this department of woman's work In the church is divided Into 11 branches. Each branch Includes several states, with headquarters at specified cities. The Columbia River branch, or ganized almost 10 years ago, occupies the territory covered by Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, with headquar ters in this city. . The officers of the branch are: Presi dent, Mrs. Earl Cranston: corresponding secretary, Mrs. A. N. Fisher; . recording secretary, Mrs. W. H. Saylor; Treasurer, Mrs. M. E. Whitney. These officers will be in their places at tomorrow's meeting, with the exception of Mrs. Cranston, whose place will be taken by one of the vice-presidents. Early in the year the executive commit tee of the general society Issued a call for 100 new missionaries, to be sent into the foreign field during the year. To this call the Columbia River branch, although youngest and weakest numerically of all the 11 branches, will loyally respond, and to that end much of the business of the coming meeting will be directed, but not to the exclusion of other business. An attractive programme has been prepared under the direction of Mrs. J. C. More land and Mrs. W. H. Beharrell. All Inter ested are cordially invited to attend. TO BUILD PYTHIAN CASTLE Knights Will Meet to Consider Project Tills Evening. The Knights of Pythias will meet this evening to consider the project of build ing a Pythian castle. A general meeting of the Portland lodges has been called to assemble at the Auditorium, on Third street, between Taylor and Salmon. For some time past there has been a growing desire among the Knights of Pythias of Portland to erect a lodge building. Two months ago a general committee, consist ing of members from different lodges, was appointed to canvass the order, which has reported favorably on the pro ject. The object of tonight's meeting Is to give a chance for general expression of opinion, and if the sentiment of members proves favorable, to select a committee to make investigation and report upon proposed methods of raising means, choice of 6lte and character of the building. There seems to be no doubt that all the city lodges will co-operate in the move ment. All the local Knights are enthusi astic, and It Is hoped that other lodges throughout the state, and also the Grand Lodge, will become Interested in the movement The Knights believe that when the new Pythian hall has been built there will be a consolidation of many of the lodges. The nine different lodges now scattered over the city will probably be reduced to three or four. INFANTRY TROOPS ARRIVE Officers and Men of Seventeenth Reg iment en Ronte to Vancouver.

He was a delegate to the recent state con vention, and Is now returning from u trip to Astoria. E, W. Crlchton, who has been touring in British Columbia to regain his health after a severe attack of the grip, tells some wonderful tales in regard to the manners and customs of the Britishers. One of the most remarkable of his yarns Is in regard to a saloon he blew up against In some town over there, the proprietor of which closed It tight and fast during the noon hour, when he went to his luncheon. A friend, after hearing this yarn and an other about a man seven feet seven inches in height, with feet in proportion, re marked that it would have been well for Crlchton If more saloons had been kept closed while he was in British Columbia. He evidently imagined that the liquor sold over there had a stimulating effect on the imagination. NEW YORK. April 6.

LS&02: STOPS PUBLIC FUNERAL CHURCH SERVICE FOR BERTIE 31. CUDDY FORBIDDEX. City Physician Zan's Order Turning Array Three Hundred People Arouses Indignation. Three hundred people who gathered at the Seventh-Day Adventlst Church yester day afternoon to attend the funeral of Bertie 'Marguerite Cuddy were turned away by the order of City Physician Zan that no public funeral be held. The churchyard was thronged with friends of the MKyear-old girl, and many of her schoolmates were present to pay a last tribute to her memory. Floral pieces In profusion were Heaped on the altar as tokens of the loving esteem in which the child was held. When the news of the order of City Physician Zan was received, forbidding a public funeral on the ground that he suspected that the death was caused by diphtheria, many expressions of regret were heard and considerable indig nation aroused among the friends of the family, who were firmly convinced that such was not the case. The funeral was held according to orders from the residence of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Cuddy, 71 East Eleventh street. North. The interment was in Lone Fir cemetery. Statement of the Father. Portland, April C (To the Editor.) By arbitrary order of City Physician Zan at noon today the funeral services of my little girl Marguerite were held at the house Instead of at the church, as an nounced, only the family attending. Dr. Zan wholly Ignored the certificate and statement of the attending physician and those of others with a contemptuous "You don't know anything about It," and be cause he suspected, he said, the child died of diphtheria he made the order. To the hundreds of men and women and schoolmates of my little girl who went to the church to he turned away I write this to supplement the meager formal notice on the church door. The cause of death was acute laryn gitis, and the contributory cause was asthma. Dr. Zan flippantly said there is no such thing as acute laryngitis. Any dictionary gives it, and I was wholly right in causing It to be so published Sat urday morning. Yet Dr. Zan waited un til a few hours before the time set for the funeral, to annoy myself and family with his suspicion and flippancy, as well as his bad manners. In speaking of "acute laryngitis" he either Ignorantly or will fully perverts the truth. For half a dozen years we have feared the event that happened last Friday, and all of us have been "good" to the little girl. All of the physicians who have at tended her told us what we must ex pect. Dr. Hicks Fenton, who removed her tonsils a year ago, knew. Dr. W. F. Hubbard knew the child. Bo, too, did Drs. Darr and Qulgley. Yet City Physician Zan knows more than all the rest while knowing nothing at all about it. Dr. Zan's zeal would be all right if not sporadic. Why single out my case and Ignore a recent case of diphtheria on East Ninth street where they ran In and out and nailed the flag on the back porch? Or let them run in and out of the place with a black flag on Grand avenue? Or the no torious case of the smallpox In the Win ters building? I want City Physician Zan to state his authority and warrant for his uncalled for action today. And I state right here that unless ho does so he will And he has not heard the last of this matter, by any means. W. J. CUDDY. City Physician's Reasons. Speaking of the matter last evening. City Physician James Zan said: "I was almost certain that the case was diphtheria, as acute laryngitis would not be likely to cause death. Therefore, I made the order for a private funeral, and In so doing made no exception to our usual rule. No chances should be taken in such serious matters as these, and it Is a matter of public safety to guard against contagious diseases. I was almost certain that the child died from diphtheria, and certainly felt amply Justified In ordering a private funeral. It would have been a crime to expose the child's schoolmates and friends to the disease, and to be on the safe side I ordered a private funeral. Just the same as I have done In many other Instances." Oregon cakes was served with the com pliments of Herman Wittenberg, who this year will send some Oregon goods to the Hot Springs barbecue. When the special train bearing the World's Fair officials and the members of the National Editorial Association starts out of St. Louis for Charleston, some Oregon mineral water will be served with the compliments of a Portland firm. TO BOOM 1905 FAIR. Delegates to Editorial Convention to Advertise Centennial. The Northwest delegation to the 17th annual meeting of the National Editorial Association will take with It next Thurs day night 10,000 pamphlets calling at tention to the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial and will endeavor to place this printed matter where It will redound to the benefit of the whole Northwest. The plan of thoroughly and systemat ically advertising the Columbia River Basin has been followed for 15 years by those atendlng these gatherings. It was first Inaugurated by Albert Tozler, when he went from the Territory of Washington to attend the first meeting of the National. Editorial Association In New Orleans In 1SS5, and has been observed ever since. A member of the Columbia River Fish ermen's Protective Union offered to gup ply a salmon for the big barbecue to be given at Hot Springs, Ark., April 19, in honor of the National Editorial Associa tion, provided Oregon's Fish Warden would permit the taking of the salmon from the Oregon waters. Last year on board a lake steamer of the Great North ern Railway Company, when 1000 news paper people were banqueted,- a box of "UNDER TWO FLAGS." 1 Big Scenic Production Makes a Hit at Cordrny's. By far the most elaborate scenic produc tion given at Cordray's this year was that of 'Under Two. Flags" by the Shirley Company last night. In every detail of costume and scenery the presentation was complete. The brilliant red and blue uni forms of the French soldiery In Algiers, the Arabian toggery, and the wonderful sandstorm which was so real that it was no small achievement for Cigarette to faco It, were all there, and all well done. The play has been seen In Portland before, but scenlcally this production holds the record. A real horse further adds to the effect of the drama, and the ride up the gorge through the sandstorm is one of the most thrilling things Imaginable. The production, however, was meritori ous in other respects than mere scenery. The company was better cast than it has been before, and the members entered Into the spirit of the stirring drama with an enthusiasm that made an instantaneous hit with the -big audlencs. Miss Shirley makes a pretty and dashing Cigarette. Her work In every act was bright and viva cious, and In the lighter as well as in the tragic scenes she seemed really the hap less little vlvindlerre she was portraying. Particularly good were her scenes with Bertie (George D. McQuarrle) and with The Silver Pheasant. The tragedy and pathos of the last act were well brought out by her strong emotional talent, and in fact throughout her acting was such as to well earn the storm of applause she re ceived at the close of every act. George D. McQuarrle made a good Bertie Cecil, and his support of Miss Shirley was a valuable assistance. Harold Gilbert 'was sufficiently stern and forbidding as Black Hawk, and made an admirable picture of the deep-dyed villain, which Oulda has made the specialty of that officer. Will lam R.- Abram did the best work he has done In Portland as Rake, using a tip-top dialect C. F. Ralston did a good bit of character work as an Arabian money lender. Miss Meta Marskcy was an Im posing Silver Pheasant, and the remainder of the cast did far better work than usual. Taken as a whole the production not only surpasses anything the company has done In Portland, but Is one of the best things of the season, and will undoubtedly crowd the house during Its engagement, which will run for two more nights only, with a matinee Saturday. TROUT SEASON OPEN. Only Fctt Fishermen Venture Out Good Salmon Catch at the Falls. Although the trout fishing season began last Tuesday, Portland anglers have had little opportunity to try their luck. A few fishermen ventured forth during the week and brought In goodly quantities of the speckled beauties from the upper trib utaries of the Sandy and Clackamas, but those who ventured forth yesterday re turned almost empty-handed. The rainy weather was not conducive to good trout fishing, so the sport -was lacking In its usual interest. With its many excellent trout streams, Oregon is truly a sportsman's paradise, and It is certain that many of the web foot nlmrods will land good-sized strings of fish before the season closes. The Clackamas, Santlam, McKenzle, Trask, Wilson and Nestucca Rivers abound with the finest trout on earth, while many oth er streams are noted for the gamy fish which they contain. In Southeastern Ore gon, the Williamson River furnishes good spcrt for the anglers of that section, and the Blue Mountain streams are none the less noteworthy. G. L. Russell and C. H. Mclsaacs went to Oregon City yesterday and trolled for steelhead salmon toelow tho falls. They were very successful, landing eight fine ones, none of which weighed less than 10 pounds. As all good fishermen ought to do, they remembered The Oregonlan of fice, and, as a consequence, the reporters who break the Sabbath by working will feast on the fish caught on the Sabbath, which, after all, are the best fish.

Religious Controversialist Argues on a Doctrinal Question Before a Large Audience. TV 1th raindrops dripping from their gar ments and umbrellas, about 700 people gathered at the A. O. U. W. Hall yester day afternoon to hear Mrs. Margaret L. Shepherd deliver her lecture on "The Doctrine of Purgatory." There were rub bers lying on the floor, and umbrellas against the windows and seats;' it looked like an umbrella-makera' convention. The atmosphere was damp, and the audience looked at each other with a mixture of doubt Men were not sure of the de nominational persuasion of neighbors around them, and the applause was cau tious until Mrs. Shepherd got her hearers warmed up. After that the audience was In a mood to applaud everything and any body. Rev. J. F. Ghormley, of the First Christian Church, and Rev. Albyn Esson, of Rodney-Avenue Christian Church, took charge of the preliminary exercises. When the Oregonlan man first entered the hall he was jnet by Mrs. Shepherd, and she said: "We don't wish an Ore gonlan reporter present, after the way the paper attacked me this morning." "Glad to hear it There are other meet ings," said the reporter, moving away. "Stay a minute," remarked Mrs. Shep herd, hastily. "Are you a Catholic?" "I'm a Presbyterian." 3Irs. Shepherd's countenance cleared, and then she said, In a kindlier tone: "You'd better stay. Ccme with me, and I'll find you a chair and a table." When Mrs. Shepherd arose to address her audi ence, she said: "How many of you read that attack on me in The Oregonlan this morning? Hold up your hands." About 15 people held up their right hands, in a hurried sort of way, and then dropped them again. "Thank you; The Oregonlan does not seem to have many readers." remarked Mrs. Shepherd, with a tone of quiet satisfaction. "My reputation and character have been attacked before by newspapers, so I'm used to that, but let me tell you that the Catholic church has not proved anything against me. It can not. I am glad that the cause of Protest antism has triumphed In this city." By this time the audience was getting weary, and it filled In the time with applause. Then two curious things happened. Somewhere about the front part of the hall was a baby, who crowed and gurgled at first when Mrs. Shepherd spoke, but as the lecture proceeded that baby evi dently did not like the manner in which Mrs. Shepherd treated her subject, for the baby sobbed and cried In a heart rending way. The louder the baby cried, the louder Mrs. Shepherd talked, and at last the baby gave In from sheer exhaus tion and want of breath. A girl with a ringing laugh was somewhere about the back of the hall, and when Mrs. Shepherd began to tell her alleged Jokes about matters of doctrine generally, this girl always led the laughter with her merry "He-he-he." It looked as If the girl was advertising her sweetheart. Mrs. Shepherd certainly did not spare details when she talked about what she termed erroneous points of doctrine In the Catholic church. A good many people In the audience looked disappointed, how ever, when she did not define the exact geographical limits of purgatory. That was what they had come to hear about Mrs. Shepherd was orthodox hi her ex planations, and was never sensational. Her arguments regarding the rock (Peter) on which Catholics say Christ founded his church were as old as the hills. She paid her compliments to Chief of Police Mo Lauchlan and Rev. Father O'Reilly for what she called his efforts to prevent her delivering her lectures. '-'Oh, that I had Father O'Reilly on this platform! I would show him what I think about him. A woman has only got her tongue with which to defend herself, but It's an ef fective weapon, as some of you husbands know. I think Father O'Reilly has given me a very nice send-off. I'm obliged to him. With reference to the slaying ot Editor Brann, In the streets of Waco, Christians have nothing to do with mid night murder and secret assassination. 1 hope to return to this city during the first week in May, and if Father O'Reilly means fight he will get all he wants of it from me." Mrs. Shepherd then told of purgatory, indulgences, the rosary and the scapular. She affirmed that the Catholic church teaches that Christ did not make full sat isfaction for the sins of the world, and argued, that the Cathollo church makes a purely "commercial transaction out of pur gatory, which, she said. It stated to be located somewhere between heaven and earth as a pawnbroker's office for the re demption of souls. She stated that there are probably 8.000,000 Catholics who own two rosary- beads, which they originally bought for 25 cents each, these beads be ing of foreign manufacture and repre senting $4,000,000 of articles which arrive In this country free of duty. In closing, Mrs. Shepherd told dories about Images and relics In Italy, and severely scored President Roosevelt for his audacity In receiving Cardinal Gibbons at tho White House. The lecturer spoke fluently, but too rap idly. She handled her subject In a wan dering manner, and did iyt speak of her past life. Last night she lectured again. "Old Maids Convention."
