California has come forward with a
spirit of enthusiastic friendliness for the
Lewis and Clark Exposition and is now
arranging to have a delegation of several
hundred Callfornlans here to participate
in the formal opening on June 1. x'he
excursion bringing this delegation is to
be the largest that ever left that state.
Arrangements for the excursion are be
ing made by the California Development
Committee. Reports from the various
branches of this organization, which Is
in touch with every portion of the state,
strongly indicate that it Is meeting with
approval everywhere. Resolutions favor
ing participation In the Lewis and Clark
Fair are already recorded from the Sacra
mento Valley Development Committee,
representing ten counties; the Central
Coast Counties Development Committee,
the Merchants' Exchange, of San Fran
cisco; the California Manufacturers and
Producers Association and the Mer
chants' Association.
Copies of these resolutions, together
with letters from Governor George C.
Pardee and other prominent men of the
state, were received at Lewis and Clark
headquarters yesterday from Rufus P.
Jennings, executive officer of the Cali
fornia Development Committee, a power
ful 'state organization. With the copies
came a letter from Mr. Jennings to Pres
ident Goode, in which the outlopk for the
big California excursion Is shown to be
thoroughly promising. The letter follows.
In part:
Will Be Biggest and Best.
At the meeting of all tha organizations of
the atate. comprised In the meeting of the
counties promotion committee of the Cali
fornia promotion committee, measures will
be taken to make this excursion the blggeot
and best that has ever left California. Al
ready the press of this state Is enthusiastic
over It and feel that there Is, between this
state and Oregon, a most cordial sympathy
and that what ia good for one portion of the
coast benefits the entire coast.
Following are the resolutions passed by
the Sacramento Valley Development As
sociation: Whereas, President H. W. Goode. of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, to be
held In Portland next year, has extended an
Invitation to the California Promotion Com
mittee to extend the Promotion Committee's
annual excursion into Oregon with a view to
Inducing a large party of representative citi
zens of California to visit the Exposition In
a body; and.
Whereas. The extension of this annual ex
cursion as contemplated in President Goode's
Invitation will be In a large measure repre

toward Oregon: therefore, be It
Resolved. That the Sacramento Valler De

ties of the great producing - section of the
state, that wc favor euch an excursion and
will take pleasure In endeavoring to promote
Its success.
Governor Pardee Will Come.
Governor Pardee's letter to Mr. Jen
nings upon the Intended excursion pays
a hearty compliment to Oregon hospital
ity. The letter follows:
Answering yours of September 20. which I
find on my desk on my return to the capltol,
I sincerely hope that the California Promo
tion Committee can see Its way clear to accept
President Goode's invitation to visit and par

And, as President Goode says and I know
from personal experience, that the Portland
and Oregon people are large-hearted, open
handed and extremely hospitable. Tou will
also find, I think, a most crdltable Exposi
tion, which will be, I am eure, of great value
to the whole Pacific Coast.
By all means go to Portland and help our
Oregonlan friends and neighbors to open, in
due form, their Exposition. I shall bo very
glad to attend the ceremonies and. so far as
I now can see, will be able to do no.
Letters of like nature were received
from Lieutenant-Governor Alden Ander

Stanford University; President Benjamin

DISCUSSED "THE UNDIVORCEABLE GIRL"
KEY. M. A. MATTHEWS, OP SEATTLE.
What (the Press Agents Say.
Shakespeare at the Columbia.
The sale of seats for "Romeo and Juliet"
yesterday was the largest In the history of
the Columbia Theater. This is the strong
est evidence of the popularity of the bill
and indicates a royal reception for the
beautiful production throughout the week.
It is undeniable that success nas crowneo.
this the most ambitious effort of 4he com
pany. It was daring to begin with, but an
unsatisfactory performance would not win
the enthusiasm displayed nightly by the
Columbia's audiences. From the moment
Miss Brandt as Chorus appears on the
curtain lino and reads the prologue until
the lovers are reunited In death at the
tomb of the Capulets the interest Is in
tense. Mr. Baume and Miss Countiss en
act the name roles of the tragedy better
than any artists who have played them In
Portland for many years. Their love
scenes are ideal and the strength each of
them displays In the tragic passages is
far superior, as emotional acting, to even
the best of their previous work, in the
company.
Rose Eytinge was engaged especially to
play the- nurse and she makes that dear
old creature a contlnuous'dellght. Donald
Bowles plays Mercutio so convincingly
that the audience wishes Shakespeare
had allowed him to live until the end of
the play. "
The stage settings for "Romeo and
Juliet" have excited a wonderful amount
of admiration. Scenlcally, the play was
a great undertaking, but here also the
work was accomplished without a flaw.
Artist King is to be congratulated on his
part of the achievement.
The play Itself is recognized. as one of
the most powerful In all Shakespeare. It
Is founded upon the original theme of two
members of warring families falling In
love, and no person can sit through the
performance without feeling a deep Inter
est In the unfortunate lovers, as well as
glorying In the exquisite language of the
king of poets, especially the burning love
passages, when intelligently read by play
ers of more than ordinary ability.
"Romeo and Juliet" will be heard all
week, wjth the usual popular matinee on
Saturday.
Tie "Prayer" Plea3es.
Xettle DeCouraey and her splendid com
pany have scored a decided hit at Cor-
dray's In "An Orphan's Prayer." The au
dlences which saw the play Sunday and
last night filled the vast auditorium of
the theater to suffocation and applauded
the play to the echo. Miss DeCoursey Is
one of the most charming soubrettes who
has ever appeared here, her singing be
ing particularly good. She sings a coon
song as no one else has ever done and the
spectators simply go crazy and demand
encore after encore. It's a great show
and you will bo sorry If you miss It.
Every night this week with a matinee on
Saturday.
BUYING SOUVENIR COINS.
Nearly Every Eastern State Sends for
Lewis and Clark Dollars.
Orders from Eastern points for Lewl3
and Clark souvenir dollarsre dally in
creasing in number. Several hupdred of
these coins have been sent East since
they were placed on-sale. In fact, nearly
every state In tho Union has placed one
or more orders for the valuable souvenirs.
Yesterday's malls brought 20 orders from
the extreme East for a total of 200 coins.
The Whole East Is Interested.
J. L. Darrow. manager of the Portland
branch of the John Deere Plow Company.
has Just returned from an extensive visit
to the East. To the 1905 Fair enthusiasts
Mr. Darrow brings encouraging news. In
Chicago, Detroit. Toledo. Columbus, Cin
Clnatl, Mollne and Peoria. 111., and at St.
Louis as well as many other places
visited, he found many anxious In
quire rs about the Lewis and Clark Fair
upon learning he was from Portland. The
John Deere people will transfer their
exhibit, at St Louis intact to the Fair
next year. Other large exhibits will also
be sent here.
TEA AND SONGS ON DECK.
Seamen's Institute Hospitably Enter
talned on Board the Dumfrieshire.
Captain Femeaux, the hospitable mas
ter of the British bark Dumfrieshire,
turned his ship over to the Seamens In
stitute yesterday afternoon, when a de
HghtfuL tea was given on board. The
vessel was In her gayest trim, with innu
merable flags, and these, fluttering
against deep, blue sky, made a picture
decidedly pleasant to see. Tea was served
on deck and "the musical programme was
conducted there also.
Besides the rollicking chanties of the
sailors. whose deep sea songs
arc always so much enjoyed by
the shore people, there were charm
ing vocal and piano numbers by
Miss Millie Perkins and Miss Elizabeth
aioben. Mrs. Perkins, who has a clear
Jyrlc soprano voice, sang "Grand Valse,"
-'by Arbltl. and also gave a reading. Miss

who would make such Ideal happy homes
that the evil he arraigned would cease.
"Divorces are increasing at such a rate
that they are sapping the foundations of
our republic," declared Dr. Matthews.
"Five hundred thousand divorces have
been granted In this country during tho
last 20 years, and there are 1,500.000 chil-j
dren who have not what they can call a !
real home, or, as someone puts It, 'they
have no home in which father and mother
unite to bring up their children as God
willed them to do Ine world Is get
ting better, and men are getting better
as individuals. But parental authority
and church discipline seem to be things
of the post. More's the pity. Generally
speaking, divorces are obtained for the
purpose of remarrying, Tvitn all its mis
eries of abandoned children left without
their natural protectors."
After a severe onslaught on all forms
of divorce. Dr. Matthews said his remedy
was the undlvorceable girl, who should
be Intelligent, industrious, independent.
Inspired, a girl Insisting on one moral
standard for men and women alike. He
painted- this girl as one who would be
far better educated In political and house
hold economy than girls are at present,
and gave a medical talk. Illustrating his
lecture by a number of amusing, well-
told anecdotes. He unmercifully criticised
city councils and legislatures. Intimating
that many lawmakers can be bought and
sold.
Dr. Matthews Is the principal speaker
at a banquet of Martin's Men, to be held
tonight at 8 o'clock In tho basement of
the First Baptist Church.
BLACKMAILERS USE EXPLOSIVE
New York Hotel Man Receives Three
Letters Demanding $5000.
NEW YORK. Oct. 21. Three letters,
each containing a demand Sor $5000, un
der penalty of death or injury to himself
and family for refusal, are reported to
have been received by the proprietor of
a hotel in upper Fifth Avenue.
Guests of tho hostelry, one of the rich
est in the country, were startled last
Wednesday morning by an -explosion.
Inoulrers were told the noise was
caused by the bursting of an electric
light globe, but it now develops, accord
ing to the Herald, that the would-be
blackmailers, having failed to carry out
their plan, set oft a light charge of some
explosive outside the proprietor's apart
ments, on the fourth floor of the hotel.
The present police theory points to the
attempt as the work of some employe
of tne hotel. Half a dozen city detec
tlves have been at work on the case
for some days. When the second letter
was received they disguised a man to
appear like the hotel proprietor and had
him follow the letter writer's instruc
Hons, dropping a package supposed to
contain J50CO at a given place. The de
tectlves were secreted for several hours
where they could observe the neighbor
hood, but no one appeared to tako the
letter, and the next day a fresh threat
was received stating tho ruse was known
to tho writer.

Sheriff of Multnomah County, "Is that I
am waiting on Mr. Manning, as, natural
ly, I desire to act in conjunction with
his office. Mr. Manning is busy with the
Walton case, but assures me that as soon
as he Is through with that case he will
look into the matter thoroughly. I am
waiting, but my hand Is on the the plow."
And with a quizzical smile the Sheriff
turned about to his desk.
Prosecuting Attorney Manning was In
court, having Justr finished a ringing
speech grilling young Walton, the "boy
robber.
"I haven't had time to look Into the
poolroom business," he said, as the jury
filed out for Its five minutes' deliberation.
"I told Word I would take hold of the
question as soon as I was through with
this case. That will probably be In a
couple of days, as we have to try Wal
ton on the second charge. No, I cannot
say anything further, as I haven't had a
moment's time to think about It."
lue Sheriff has been looking up the
law on his own account.
"I have consulted one of the best at
torneys In the state," he said, later yes
terday. "In the effort to find some way to
reach the poolrooms. Here Is a memoran
dum of some of the things he said:
"The Supreme Court has held that there
are no common law officers In the state
where common law has been re-enacted
by statute. Now this statute Is a re
enactment of the common law of criminal
nuisance, and at the common law, though
gaming was not indictable, the keeping
of a gaming-house was, as it tended to
destroy good order and was Injurious to
the public morals.
"The term disorderly house at common
law includes -every house that Is so kept
as directly to disturb public order at the
time; or to tend to the corruption of pub
lic morals, and the (Ultimate disturbance
of the general good order of the com
munity. Bawdy-houses, common gaming
houses, improperly conducted playhouses,
and disorderly inns or alehouses are all
disorderly houses, even though they do
not create a public disturbance In the
neighborhood. The keeping of any of
these is Indictable at common law be
cause such a house is a nuisance.
"The common law form includes persons
who 'entice, congregate and cause to come
together great numbers of disorderly and
idle persons and youths playing therein
. . . and betting and wasting their
substance, and leading and luring one
another and all persons to evil ways, to
the common nuisance to all the people,
against the peace.' "
Betting was light yesterday at the War
wick, the only poolroom so far opened for
business. The smallness of the crowd was
attributed to public uncertainty regarding
action by the Sheriff. M. G. Nease, a very
quiet-spoken diplomatic gentleman, ex
pressed his conviction that ao much agita
tion against poolrooms was unjust.
"When we came here," he said, "pool
rooms were paying nothing to the city
for the privilege of doing business. We
were the first to volunteer to pay a license,
and now, after having secured a license,
we have consulted the best legal author
ities we could reach and we are acting
only on their advice. They have assured
us that we are breaking no law. "We are
creating no disturbance, we are not stand
ing out on the street with a megaphone.
making a nuisance of ourselves to sur
rounding property-owners or to the pass
ing public.
"Much of the opposition against us
arises from a malconceptlon of our busi
ness. It Is founded on one of the greatest
Industries of the United States, the rais
ing and breeding of horses. Where betting
is not allowed on races, that Industry Is
injured. You remember the Washington
Park case last Spring. The Mayor of
Chicago, for political purposes, stopped
poolselling there and all the horsemen
left Chicago."

Star.
Dancing a cakewalk on a slack wire Is
one of the difficult and graceful feats
performed by the two girls of the Alpine
trio this week at the Star, and their act
almost takes one's breath away. It Is so
daring. The trio Is composed of one man
and two girls, all splendid specimens of
muscular development. One girl per
former turns somersaults while standing,
on the wire, and also leaps over a chair
and flags, but manages to retain her bal
ance. The act Is one of the most highly
priced and best seen here this season.
The three Renos, two men and a girl
present an act reminding one of "The
Magic Doll," and they excel In tumbling
and high picking. The two men twist
themselves Into all sorts of knots until
one wonders if they can safely untie them
selves. The projectoscope flashes pic
tures Illustrating "The Barber of Seville
and Will C Hoyt sings a new song which
Is a winner, "Down the Vale of Shenan
doah. Howe and Edwards present
most amusing musical turn and work
hard. Miss Edwards sings different na
tlonal songs, and Howe plays a harp
solo. "Lois Mendcnhall. a young girl, Is
a pleasing violin virtuoso and plays well.
Baker.
There was one turn In the vaudeville
programme that opened at the Baker last
night which Is way and above the price
of admission. It was Pete Baker, whose
appearance recalls the time, not so far
distant, when vaudeville performers were
not so common that individuals were lost
In the throng. He Is a star and there is
enough of the old-time variety stage about
his work to lift the whole performance
above the dime level. His character parts
and Impersonation are not done with the
aid of grease paint and costume, but by
actual acting, and the crowd could see
the difference.
Between 2500 and 3000 people went to
see the old Baker open In vaudeville,
There were two evening performances and
the house was packed at both shows,
Long before the first show was out th
street was filled with another waiting
audience.
There were nine other turns beside that
of Pete Baker, running the list of vaude
ville possibilities. Bingham and Gable
had some new musical performances, the
Sankey Brothers, acrobatic foot Jugglers,
followed with a selection of the hardest
tricks of their kind, Huston and Dallas
did the comic Juggling turn, the Gar-
dells Introduced roller skating into the
tight-rope business. Drew filled both the
Irish and German comedian turns and
Del Adelphla, the cowboy, turned ma
gician. There was besides La Barge
musical turn, Raymond G. Baldwin':

Lyric.
Falarado opens the bill at the Lyric this
week and heads the list of a number of
high vaudeville turns. He Is the "Instru
mental man" and can Imitate anything
from a violin to the churn of heavy ma
chinery. Following him .are the two
Drews, one, a child of 10, making the
funniest little old Irishman In the world;
the other, a man. Is the Dutchman, and
together they dance In a merry competi
tion. And before the picture song and
the vltascope, the Malcoms, globe-rollers,
hop and skip around on their unsteady
footing with the ease of ordinary mor
tals on solid earth. The Lyric alwaj-3
puts up a really high-class vaudeville
show, filled with clever sketches and orig
inal turns. Men as original as Falarado
are hard to find and every one of hl3
different instrumental imitations are per
fect. Alone he would be well worth while,
and he Is followed with as clever a col
lection of top liners as one vaudeville
theater can gather under its roof.

Cannon-ball juggling Is the special at

Champion Money-Counter.
Everybody's.
Mrs. "Wllla A. Leonard has been an ex
pert money-counter for the United States
Treasury Department since 1S62. For
many years she has been the fastest note
counter In the department. She has count
ed more money than would pay off the
National debt. Years ago, when she was
stationed In the Bureau of Printjng and
Engraving, she was pointed out to visitors
as one of' the features of the establish
ment. For more than 40 years an endless
succession of paper currency has passed
through her hands, and although under
the rules of the department the slightest
mistake in counting Is charged against i
the salary of the counter, yet In all that
time Mrs. Leonard has not lost a cent
from such a cause. Thus she Is not only
the fastest, but the most accurate counter,
and what this statement Implies can be
realized when It Is pointed out that Mrs.
Leonard as' a rule dos not count new
money, but notes that have grown old and
worn from much use all over the country.
notes that have become so frayed. that
they have been sent In to be exchanged
for new ones.

windows and doors for blocks. It Is be
lieved to have been caused by two tramps,
of whom no trace can now be found.
There were no fatalities except those of
the tramps. Had the explosion occurred
half an hour later many workmen would
have been killed.
