THE MOKNING OKEGOSIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1904. THEY WERE AMAZED Executive Board Startled to Learn of Deficit in Funds. DEPARTMENTS DRAW HEAVILY Increase in Fire and Police Branches! of City Service Necessary During Fair Will Cause Deficiency of Quarter Million. EXPENSES ESTIMATED BY DEPARTMENTS. Deficit Fire Department S1M.640.O0 Deficit Police Department 73.122.00 Deficit Imp. bond Interest.... 18,000.00 General expenses 310.330 .25 Total $573,102.25 Estimated expenditures above estimated' receipts J53.602.-o That the .total estimated expenditures exceed the estimated receipts by 5250,000 -was the startling announcement made by City Auditor Devlin to a special meeting of the Executive Board yesterday after noon. " ' The meeting was called for the purpose of bluepenclllng the departmental esti mates, and two hours were consumed. But after much discussion the Fire De partment's estimate of $247,890 was prac tically passed up to the Council. A cut must be made and the Councilmen must wield the shears. The Executive Board sanctioned the estimate for the depart ment without extensions or Improvements, 5164,840, and allowed 5800 for four reserve horses. "These estimates exceed the receipts from taxes and licenses by 5253,000." said Mr. Devlin, when he began to read his tabulated statement. The members gasped audibly. The City Auditor's fund of minute knowledge on all things municl- nal was reocatedly called upon. "What do you think we can allow for the Fire Department?" asked .Mayor wu Hams, when the big total for that branch of the city service had been read. "I think we must go under ?1S5,000," re plied Mr. Devlin. "Whether a new engine company should be installed at Third and Gllsan streets or, at Fulton was the main question. Mr. Flledner, of the fire committee, said that the lot donated the city on Third street for an engine-house was an expensive gift, as much piling must be laid for a foundation. The Mayor remarked that as the streets in the downtown district had been greatly improved, the engines could reach a fire in that region more rap idly than before. Though Mr. Boise moved that all the estimates but the running expenses and the money for the new horses be stricken out. Fulton has a far better chance of receiving additional fire protection next vear than .has North Portland. The estimate of 5161,332 for the Police Department was cut to $126,800. Fifty extra patrolmen will be employed during the Exposition, and ten additional men will be put on the first of the year. "You can't break in a policeman In 30 days." said Mr. SIcheU of the police com mittee. "I noticed In SL Louis the other day that a regiment of soldiers guarded the foreign exhibits. At the clpse of fairs people are always hunting for souvenirs; and the foreign exhibits are much dam aged. Why couldn't we have soldiers here?" "We tiave a regiment at Vancouver," said Mr. Boise. The City Engineer's and the street re pair estimates of 575.792 and 557,866 were passed without hesitation. The street cleaning and sprinkling estimate was cut to 590,000. The minor estimates, including one of 52500 for the City Museum, went through unscathed. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. WHITE WHITTLESEY TONIGHT, Presents "Heartsease" and "The Sec ond in Command" at Marquam. To-night at the Marquam Grand Thea ter the handsome young romantic actor. White Whittlesey, will begin an engage ment of two nights, presenting this even ing "Heartsease,'" to-morrow evening "The Second in Command." The scenic equipments of the Whittlesey Company are of an exceptional order, everything being carried by the organization for the plays mentioned. A trained choir is also part of the or ganizatlon for the rendition of the music In "Heartsease, and among the players are such well-known people as Engenie Thais L.awton, Virginia Brlssac, Alfa Perry, Edith Campbell. Messrs. J. M. Sainpolis. Harry D. Byers, Honry Llew ellyn, Reginald Mason, Taylor. Curtis, TZr ville Anderson, Carl Yoho and Charles Sherman. "'The Gay Parisians." The stock company at the Columbia Theater has made a decided hit in Its newest offering. "The Gay Parisians." a farce that is French, but not so Frenchy that it shocks even the most confirmed prude. The piece was unknown in Portland. Playgoers had heard that it was an up roarious affair from the French, laid was presented for 200 nights kn succession by Sadie Martinot and a carefully selected cast In New l ork: that its plot was com Plicated and almost beyond description. But nothing of the sensation which it has evidently created was even dreamed of by the management. The crowds emerging from the Colum bia Sunday afternoon and night were "boosters." one and all. Everybody had a good word to say about the production. with Its various unexcelled features, and lrom the praise bestowed by the public as well as the critics, who are unanimous, it Is. apparent that the company has made the hit of the season. Most of the favorabe talk is concerning the second act. In which the characters are brought together under-most extra ordinary circumstances In a Paris hotel and restaurant. The action here becomes so strenuous, on account of the efforts of the several couples to keep front being discovered by friends and acquaintances, that a good deal of the rapid-fire dialogue is actually drowned by the laughter and applause. Three solid hour5 of laughter ought to be good for any constitution and it in as suredly furnished in this week's bill at ' the Columbia. COMING ATTRACTIONS. '"The Runaways" Sale Today. This morning at 10 o'clock the advance saje of seats will open for Arthur Dunn in "The Runaways," the big musical comedy which comes to the Marquam Grand Theaftr next Thursday afternoon "and night, November 17.

She Is supported by an excellent company of players. Sweet and Clean Comedy. "Candida" comes to the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday,' Tuesday and Wednesday nights. November 21, 22 and 23, heralded as one of the sweetest and clean est comedies of modern times. As a dra matic offering it is said to excite laugh ter and tears, while in literature It ranks as a rare masterpiece. Delicious humor and the keenest wit are happily inter woven with laughable incident and some of the most entertaining, as well as orig inal characters ever seen in a play. In a word it makes you laugh, think and lose youreelf all In the same scene. It was last season's pet success In New York and gained a large following from all classes of theater-goers. It was written by George Bernard Shaw, wit, novelist and critic, whose works, are now in 'great demand. AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS At the Star. At the Star a new -vaudeville bill was presented yesterday which will be found more than Interesting to the large class of people who appreciate this light form of entertainment. The three Avolas are the headiners, with the Yale due fea tured. The Avolas consist of a father and his two sons and the trio give an acrobatic act which is full of novelties. It proved a big card. The Yale duo ma nipulate clubs and they have discovered that club Juprcllnc need not be conducted in the slipshod manner which so many club swingers exhibit In this line of en deavor. Carter and Mendel are a couple of rapid-fire conversationalists who tell jokes In a breezy style which adds much to the effectiveness of the point. New and old gags arc sprung and all win ap plause. Adeline Blrchler Is an operatic vocalist, one of the few good voices heard in vaudeville. This woman strengthens the bill considerably- Richard Burton Is a story teller and graphically relates his tales to music. The Musical Harts have a musical act In which they introduce a number of musical instruments and Mrs. Hart makes a hit with the latest song success. "A Bit of Blarney." The moving pictures reproduce scenes from a foun dling asylum and combine comedy witn pathos. At the Arcade. Variety of entertainment marks the new Arcade bill, which opened to a big matinee house yesterday. For the current week the position at the head of the bill la occupied by the Fern Comedy Four. This Is one of the most expensive acts the Arcade has given its patrons and it Is also one of the strongest features the house has billed. The four comedians have excellent voices and their quartet numbers were received with heavy ap- nlause. The Fern Comedy Four was en cored nearly five times at the .opening performance. The comedy clement is of the sort which takes best with a vaude vllle audience because the humor Is ap parent. The Adams brothers offer a re fined singing and dancing turn. A novelty of this act Is In the acrobatic dancing of the men. This is something new and never before seen on a local stage. Di vine Dodson, one of the best female im nersonators In the business, and one who carries a brilliant wardrobe- and Injects comedy In hjs singing, was another act deserving of more than passing notice. Kate Coyle. the ever-popular singer of illustrated ballads, has discarded the pic tures this week. Her song Is a military one, such as become favorites with the boys. On the bioscope there are pictures of the St, Louis fair, the adventures of an Irishman, and pictures or children. At the Lyric. Managers Keating & Flood opened new programme yesterday which Is up to the standard of this house. The acts are clever and the bill Is well balanced with eomedv. melody, acrobatic turns and sun ilar striking and .enjoyable specialties, pir-st hnnnrs eo to Vorce and Werda. They have a musical turn that proves refreshinir in Its novelties. The act Is well dressed, too, and carries electrical ofTerts. These musicians, aside lrom nlavlnc on brass and string Instruments, do stunts on devices such as a row of dolls and basket of flowers. The turn Is srlven increased interest because the selec tions rendered are up-to-date and are of that quality known as popular. The De- caros offer an act on the itoman rings They are experienced people and do their -ork with mat pousn ana imisn mn only be acquired by years pi wont "Ward and Ward have a comedy sketch In which there Is an assortment of Jokes, songs and dances, being the kind that win response from the audience. Douglas and Douglas are acrobats of no m$dlocre ability. Ther perform some really nota ble feats and they work rapidly, especial ly when doing their tumbling. Harry Hoyt, the balladlst, contributes the Illus trated song. "Kate and I." An exciting and laughable scries of moving pictures completes the performance. The 'Baker. The Baker Theater was crowded to the doors last night, and the show presented was a blc one. The Travioias, neaa Dai ancers, hoop rollers and Jugglers, perform a most remarkable act, which of Its kind has probably never been excelled. The Irvlnir trio do a clever acrooauc turn and McShaffrey's musical gypsies play well on various unique Instruments. Jen ninsrs O'Brien and Mann and Franks pre sent a mirth-provoking comedy called "Our Uncle." The other features of the entertainment are Clarence Marks, Ger man comedian: Pearcy brothers in sketch called "Fun With the New Teacher." and Darnold's .wonderful trained dogs and cats. Raymond G. Bald win slnzs Illustrated songs, and the pro gramme concludes with the blograph. The bill will be repeated aunng tnc wcck, The Bijou The new bill at the Bijou contains many attractive specialties, and the business done last evening was very large. There are numerous strong features in the pro gramme, notably tne comeay sseicn ot lhn MVirtnns n?h!rh l Intersncrsed with ! numerous catchy songs and duets, and the acrobatic feats by the Lamont brothers. Much of their work is new, and all of It Is good. Howe and Decker. Jugglers, arc also very clever as well as amusing. They toss bottles .plates, boxes and other art! cles about In a way to excite wonder and also oerform feats of balancing. Ed Simpson sings well and tells some laugh able gags, and Pearl Grayson sings illus trated songs. The vltascope pictures are new and dazzling. Same programme all week. - Additional Jurors Drawn.

The two money nickel-ln-the-slot ma chines seized by Sheriff Word several weeks ago, one at the house of Mrs. C Clark and the other in Essie watKins resort, arc still In -possession of the officer, who has not yet decided if he will give them up to the owner. An agent representing the owner has ap pcarcd us a claimant for the machines, and he may have to bring a replevin suit to get them if Sheriff "Word con tinues to resist their return. Judge Sears, before whom the two women were tried, has no jurisdiction over the machines, as the women said they did not own them, and the ma chines were only brought Into court by the Sheriff as evidence. There is no provision of the statutes providing for the confiscation of the slot machines, but-thcy could be taken under the city charter. "They are for law breaking only,' says Judge McGinn, -"and the state may confiscate them. The common law Is ample for the purpose."

At the called meeting of the Portland Rowing Club, held in the rooms of the Y. M. C A., last night, a large proportion of the membership attended and voted in favor of the reorganization of the club as previously outlined. As the new organization will be mod eled closely after that of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and as the latter has proven so successful, the rowing men feel elated over their new prospects. After voting on the disorganization of the old club and forming Its successor, under the title. "The Portland Rowing Club," the members elected the following board of directors: "W. F. Morton, R. C. Hart, R. TV. "Wilbur, J. M. Ambrose. P. E. Stowell, George H. Houghton. Tom "West.

"Wilbur, presi dent; P. E. Stowell, vice-president; W. F. Morton, secretary; J. M. Ambrose, treas urer; R. C. Hart. Captain. HEW PLAN FOE CREMATORY Mayor Williams Presents Scheme for Garbage Handling. A plan for new management of- the- city crematory was presented to the Executive Board by Mayor Williams yesterday. Howard Whiting, who sev eral years ago was manager of the crematory, but has lately confined most of his attention to wood block pave ments, offers to inaugurate a com plete new system of garbage handling. No new crematory will be needed. not even a new furnace. According to Mr. Whiting's written proposal to the Mayor, he will begin the burning of garbage at night, instead of during the early morning, as at present. The unsavory dump will be covered with fresh earth. Only six men will be cm ployed. But Mr. Whiting would like a salary of 53000 a year. A cut of nearly 56000 from the pres ent estimate of 519.680 of the Board of Health would be made, however. Mr. Whiting stated that the garbage was at present being crammed into the furnaces so that the fires were extinguished, and the crematory there fore gave very poor results. As the matter Is somewhat outside the Juris diction of the Executive Board, it will be laid beforethe Board of Health at the next regular meeting, or at a spe cial meeting this month.

PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE Know tbe Value of Pyramid File Cure. "Gratitude alone prompts me to testify to the efficacy of Pyramid Pile Cure. Last March I bought a dollar package at the drugstore, which cured me of bleeding piles, and I was a suffercrfrom theiu for eight years; but I had not been trouoied with them since, until last September, when I gave birth to a baby- girl, and af ter that I had a very severe case of pro truding piles, which a trained nurse said was the worst case she ever saw. and my doctod told me to get Pyramid Pile Cure acaln. which I did and was completely cured in three days. I have not had piles of any kind since, and it Is all owing to this wonderful remedy. My nurse took a box, which I was glad to be able to give' her. for I know she will be able to help lots of suffering people whom I could never sec or know. "I recommend 'Pyramids' wherever know ot any one suffering as I did. givesvme 'great pleasure to be able to say I am entirely cured, which my doctor say Is true. I say. God bless Pyramid Pile Cure."
