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

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.

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."

The plan of thoroughly and systemat

first meeting of the National. Editorial

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.

MRS. aiARGARET L. SHEPHERD DE
LIVERS AX ADDRESS.
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
