THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEltBEB 2C, 1904L GATHER THE FACTS Grand Jury Considering Merits of Biazier Case. MAY BRING PERJURY CHARGE Several Witnesses Are Examined to Ascertain Whether Eugene Biazier Is Owner of the Notorious Paris House as Lessee. The grand jury did not convene yester day morning, but met at 2 o'clock In the afternoon and took up the case o Eugene Biazier. At the trial of Biazier xm the gambling charge an effort was made to elicit from him that he is the owner of the Paris House as lessee. District Attorney Manning refused to ask the question at the request of Henry E. McGinn, private prosecutor. A. H. Breyman, one of the owners of the Paris House grounds and building, was called as a witness before the grand Jury and told the body that the Star Brewery, of Vancouver, Is the lessee of the Paris House. Mr. Breyman said he received a check for the rent each month from the owners of the brewery, and did not know If the Biazier brothers have anything to do with the place. On the subject of disorderly houses, Mr. Brey man told the grand Jury he did not care to rent his property for such purposes. He thought the Legislature should pass a law Isolating such houses to a particular locality. S. C Spencer and TV. M. Davis, who ap peared as attorneys for Biazier, were also called before the grand Jury as witnesses, together with Thad Vreeland, ex-Justice of the Peace, of East Portland. Mr. Vree land once sued Biazier in behalf of a client to recover gambling losses, and Biazier settled with the man without call ing Vreeland In, with the result that Vreeland never received his fee. Vree land thinks Biazier conducted a gambling game recently, and when on trial several days ago Biazier testified that ho sold out three years ago, and since received S300 per month rent .for the gambling-rooms. Judge Frazler, after the close of the trial, instructed District Attorney Manning to Investigate the matter with a "view of bringing a perjury charge against Biazier, but the District Attorney is evidently let ting the grand jury go it alone. Ho was not to be seen during the session yester day. There is no indication that the grand jury has yet taken any action towards looking into the Tanner-Creek sewer scandal or anything relative to the City Engineer's offlce. Court Notes. Anna E.

W; Martin Delivers Interest ing Lecture on "The Autumn Leaf." Rev. Alfred "W. Martin, of Tacoma, last night delivered from the pulpit of Tem ple Beth Israel a sermon on "The Les sons of an Autumn Leaf," which was a beautiful -word picture tinted -with the hues of rich comparison. And it was a picture which told a story as rich in teaching as it was in coloring. The story of a falling leaf and that of a falling life are strangely alike; the mission of the leaf Is identical with that of the human life; and with this material as a canvas and a rare command of synonyms as a brush. Dr. Martin painted a genre mas terpiece. "We have great cause for rejoicing that we can fade as the leaves; for when the leaf fades its mission has been fully per formed: it has served well its usefulness. Can we say the same? And all leaves, whether they be those of the mighty oak or the delicate vine, of the rose tree or of the thistle, fade and die, just as all humans, King and servant, pauper and millionaire, come to the door of death. All leaves are beautiful in some respect, whether it be color or texture or form and was there ever a life which did not have some redeeming feature some spot of beauty, however obscure?" The development of the leaf from the unfolding of its silken softness. Its child hood spent basking In the Spring sun shine; its middle life drenched by Sum mer rains and scorched by Summer suns; its declining years bruised by Autumn winds, and finally nipped by Winter frosts, was painted like the human life beginning as an Infant basking in the sunshine of the mother love, drenched by the rains of failure, scorched by the heat of temptations, blasted by the winds of adversity, and nipped by the frosts' of grief. And the picture further showed the great mission of the leaf how it builds up the life of the tree, playing Its important part, no matter how small and insignificant; how it purifies the atmos phere for man by acting as the mouth and lungs of the tree and absorbing the poisonous vapors; how it helps to create the beauty of the earth, satisfies the es thetic sense with Its beauty and grateful shade, and finally in its death performs the function of enriching the earth by its decay. Perhaps the rarest thought in all the lessons taught by these comparisons was that the leaf is most beautiful in its old age, when Its wondrous hues are richer and rarer than an artist can Imi tate, and that the life properly lived should be just as rich and just as beauti ful when Its Autumn comes. TO XKE OPPOSITION TICKET. Warm Contest Promised at the City Election in Milwaukee. The opposition to the "citizens' ticket" In Milwaukie. nominated last Monday eve ning, will holda a mass meeting this eve ning In the Town Hall to put up an in dependent ticket. Mayor William Schlndler himself sug gested at the meeting Monday night that it would be a good thing to have another ticket placed in the field so there would be some interest in the election, and he thought the ticket should then be nominated, but Captain Harlow announced that all opposed to "the railway ticket, meaning the "citi zens' ticket," were invited to attend the mass meeting Saturday night and help place an opposition ticket in the field. The Issue between the two tickets will be -whether the town shall cultivate the fa vor of the Oregon Water Power & Rail way Company on the one side, or -restrict the "privileges of the company and require It to make certain improvements to its roadbed through Milwaukie. The "citi zens' ticket" represents a liberal policy -toward the railway company, while the Independent movement -contends tor a more restrictive policy and holds that no esseloye of the company should be a member of the city government. There ww think the company should That's Arizona. We may a little- any on water, .but we've sot as much charity 'for women as you can round up In the gos pel of 8t- John, OLD CANBY, the ranchman, spoke those great lines at the Marquam again last night, and the same thrill ran down the spine of the big audience that "has brought that speech more spontaneous applause in the last six years than has been accorded any speech in any play which the American people have seen in that time. One forgets that Gus Thomas' . master piece is comparatively a new thing. It Is almost startling when the actors refresh our minds by alluding to "Thl3 threatened Cuban War." "Arizona" is only six years old; a little less, in fact We seem to have known Canby. who owned the big gest .ranch in the territory, and a heart of equal proportion. Tony, the best vaquero In the world, and all the others always. We refer to It as "dear, old Arizona," as If it had come down to us from the Fathers, when, in fact, it Is al most brand new. If I count correctly, last night was the fifth time Tve seen it, and I hope there will be 20 return engagements. It is a play that deserves immortality, and after a few more years of trouping it through the "provinces," the managers will take it off for a season or two, and then give it a revival such as it deserves. This formula will bo repeated, I hope, in definitely, so that our children's children may know that once upon a time an American who knew his land wrote a typically American play -which was worthy. Of course, "the Great American play" has not been written any more than "the great American novel," and it may never be; but if a straw vote could be taken now, it Is morally certain that the Amer ican people would be for "Arizona" by a larger popular majority than Roosevelt had over Parker. Augustus Thomas struck twelve when he superintended its first production. Neither he nor any other man In our time will give us its like again, more's the pity, for our stage Is suffering for more "Arizona." The company seen in the classic this" year Is not good enough for the piece, but it compares ravoraoiy witn tnat oi last year. The "Sergeant Kellar," "Tony," "Dr. Fenlon' and "Sam Wong" are the same, otherwise the people are all new this sea son. The recruits have not strengthened the cast, as those named are far and away the best in the company. James KIrkwood does very well with his "Canby" until the crisis comes, and then he misses the mark. Alfred Holllngsworth would be quite good as the jealous old Colonel if he carried himself more like a soldier and less like a drum major; and Harry G. Keenan is far from satisfactory as the villainous Cap tain Hodgman. He makes his character a melodramatic "mut." if you know what that is. After saying all the nasty things I have just voiced, however, I must in sist that "Arizona" at the Marquam this afternoon and tonight Is worthy of most liberal patronage. All the magnificent lines and situations which the author put Into it are there. The alkali-dust-laden air, the "brazen sun which beats down on the broad, red reaches out north of Tombstone are in it, and the genuine, star-spangled Americanism of the bully West is there. "That's Arizona." A. A. G. COUNTY CLERKS CONVENE. Oregon Officials Discuss Matters and Also Enjoy Themselves. The .first convention of County Clerks and Recorders of Oregon met at the Courthouse yesterday, and proved to bo a very instructive as well as -a social gath ering. Among the topics discussed yes terday were: "What do you think of the Torens system?" "How do you audit claims?" "Should the offlce of County Clerk be self-sustaining?" "Probate fees." "Official reporters" fees." "Should the of flce of Recorder be self-sustaining?" The members present discussed the vari ous subjects at length. It was disclosed that In some counties ofBclal reporters re ceive $10 per day and the fees are turned in to the county. In other cases the re porters receive the fpes collected. In di vorce cases in some counties the official reporter receives a $10 fee in each case, and in Multnomah County $5 In each case. Considerable was said regarding tho col lection of fees, and the consensus of opin ion was that the proper plan is to collect all fees In advance to avoid loss by the o facial. Some of them said they trusted some attorneys. It was divulged that law yers are the principal ones who ask credit. The convention met at 10:30 o'clock, and Frank S. Fields, of Multnomah County, was chosen temporary president and J. C, Selgmund, of Marion County, temporary secretary. F. S. Fields, J. B. Gliham. of Union, and R. B. Dow, of Jackson, were appointed a committee on by-laws. They reported at 2 o'clock in the after noon and the by-laws were adopted. The following permanent officers were then elected: F. S. Fields, president; G. W. Jones, vice-president; J, C. Selgmund, sec retary; C A. Brandes, treasurer; J. B. Gliham, J. W. Rowland, Simon Bolton, directors. Those nreeent at the convention are as follows: C A. Brandes, Auditor, "Multno mah County: E. A. Burn nam. Auditor, Vancouver, Wash.; Recorders A. B. Dow, Jackson; William Folsom. Umatilla; J.

TO CARRY ON ITS CAMPAIGN Public Meetings Will Be Held With the Object' of Bringing Employ ers and Laborers into Har monious Relations. The Federated Trades Council, undis mayed by the dash of cold "water given to its universal peace plan by the Citizens Alliance, still Is determined to follow up the advantage gained by the favorable consideration of its plan by the Manufac turers' Association and the Franklin As sociation and carry on a campaign of edu cation calculated to bring the employer and the employe into a closer and a better relation. At tho meeting of the Council held last night letters were sent to the Citizens Alliance, to the Manufacturers Associa tion and the Franklin Association. Tne replies were sent In a friendly spirit, thanking the organizations for the con sideration given the proposals of the Council. The Alliance was urged to re consider its action in refusing to meet with the Council In its request, and to join with the other associations in pro moting the plan for labor arbitration as .proposed. It will be the policy of the Council to urge Its plan, not in an arbitrary manner. but courteously and steadily. The first letter outlining the plan will be sent to all of tho employers organizations in the city and to all of the civic organizations as well, asking each to consider the prop osition and to Indorse it If possible. The ultimate idea of the Council is the organi zation of a union of labor and employers af ter.the plan of the Civic Federation. The committee on public meetings re ported that plans were being laid for sev eral meetings at which prominent labor men and employers would speak. It Is not Intended to make debates of these meet ings, but at each one speaker will present his Ideas without Interruption or contra diction from any one. The legislative committee asked leave, and secured it, to draft a bill for the next Legislature abolishing the contract sys tem lri prison labor, so that the labor of the convict will no longer come in compe tition with free workmen. Another bill will be drawn tending to the regulation of the employment agents and agencies of the state, similar to the law now in force in California. A third law will be asked for licensing stationary engineers. This law will be sought as a protection to those employed In places where engines are used and to prevent incompetent persons from assum ing charge of positions in which they might endanger life. AT THE THEATERS What the. Press Agents Say. the Lyric Is turning them away this week. The people are going after the big bargain In vaudeville which Is being offered this week, just as they do after an Hmirelia auctlon on a rainy day. Any one -of the big acts on the bill is worth the' price of a ticket, and when there' are seven or eight, all eaually good, it is no wonder they descend on the Lyric, In force. Just. investigate for yourself today, u you haven't discovered It before.- and you will find most of your friends trying to crowd Into the Lyric -any night. Sijou Shows Grow. Every Saturday night the Bijou per formances grow bigger and brighter and better than before.-Right over the audi ence Zerelda performs his daring twists and turns on a trapeze, then balances a. cnair, on the bar-.ana plays a manaoun. Frye and-Allen have a high-class musical skit, and,ElmoreJ5ahd Bartlett present a great illusion act ' Not for a Minute During the time a performance Is in progress at the Baker there Is not a min ute when the house is not packed with delighted spectators. Is it any wonder? Not for a minute. Barnold's .cats and. dogs have something to do with It for although this is the second week of their appearance at the Baker it is positively announced to be the last, and not one person, old or young, -but wants, to see these wonderfully educated, .household pets. There are almost a dozen- other acts on the bill and every one Is the best kind of a reason why 'people snould rush to the Baker. It would take a whole page of The Oregonlan to tell about all the good things. Last Performance Tonight. The last performance of "Led Astray" by the Columbia Theater Stock Com pany will be given this afternoon and evening .The play has. proven one of tho most notable hits of the season and will doubtless draw tho usual, large matinee audience. "Arizona" This Afternoon. This afternoon at 2:15 o'clock "Ari zona," tho greatest of all American dramas, will bo the matinee attraction at the Marquam Grand Theater. This beautiful story of life In the Far West ern States is without a doubt the best drama ever written by an American playwright, and presented as it is by such an excellent cast, deserves "the patronage it receives wherever pro duced. Tonight tho officers of the Third Infantry, Oregon National Guard "vlll occupy the boxes, which will be appropriately decorated for the occasion. Grimes' Cellar Door. A matinee will be given this, afternoon and the last performance tonight of "Grimes' Cellar Door." Bring the chil dren and see thenr laugh at "Grimes' Me Boy." The admission Is low and within the reach of all. A clever entertain ment, especially pleasing to ladies and children. The farce revels in comic sit uations, acrobatic feats, droll incidents, multiplying annoyances and unexpected developments that convulse the audience with laughter from the rise to the fall of the curtain. The rapidity with which ludicrous occurrences follow each other affords little opportunity for any relapse or cessation of mirth. It Is a rapld-firo gun, loaded to the muzzle with. fun. ' COMING ATTRACTIONS. A Foreigner's Love. In "The Now Dominion," the delightful comedy In which Clay Clement starred for several seasons, the Columbia The ater Stock Company has selected a play that will give Its members full op portunity for tho exercise of their ver satility. It is a plain, straightforward story of a foreigner's love for a daughter of Virginia, and his efforts to overcome the dialect whlchhe finds a serious det riment to his wooing. There are no stained "pasts" in It. It is as' far from the problem of today as "The Old Homestead," yet contains a heart inter est which holds the auditor spellbound from the first scene to the last. Baron Hoenstauften will be played by Edgar Baume, anS Catbrliie Countlss will bo seen in a favorite role, that of the Virginia sweetheart. Thomas Jefferson as "Rip." Thomas Jefferson will come to the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday and Tuesday nights. November 28 and 29, presenting the famous old play of "Rip Van Winkle." Praise for the play er or commendation for the play would "be supererogatory, for the name of Jefferson Is so universally esteemed, and the last so generally admired, that no words can add to tne deserved pop ularity of either. For a generation "Rip Van Winkle" has been a delight to the theatergoers of America, and to see the son of the famous veteran in the char acter so Identified -with the name of Jefferson Is an opportunity not to be missed. The company supporting Mr. Jefferson this season is one of the best and selected with great care as to their fitness for the characters they are as signed to, and thereby assuring not only u perfect but4 thoroughly enjoy- aoie perxormance . "The Devil's Auction." "The Devil's Auction" -will be . the attraction at the Marquam Grand The ater next Wednesday and. Thursday nights. November so and December ju The advance sale of seats will open next Monday morning at 10 o'clock. - AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS An Amusement Bargain. There are, bargains In amusement as In shop goods, xhe American has a keen eye 1 for Darrals u as? ktod, sd that's why The Arcade's Great Bill. Today and tomorrow Is tho last of the all-around vaudeville bill with, merry features that the Arcade Theater offers to the'amusement-loving public Not-air act is dulL George Wilson is the chlei comedian, 'and he wins every audience from the time hoi slips on the stage -with a merry roll of his eyes to his quick exit after singing "There's a Lazy-LooKin Nigger." The two Harveys are musical prodigies. These clever children present duets, "Ben Bolt." a selection from bcnu mann and bits from grand operat A won derful act that arouses the greatest In terest Is the Roman rincs nerformance of the two Edwards, who swing from thef rings not only from tneir.toes, Dut ineir teeth. Next week Lamont's cockatoo circus is tho big feature. Large Audiences at the Grand. The audiences at the Grand Theater (formerly Cordray's) all week have been the largest and best that ever attended a vaudeville show In the city or yoruana, Not only this, but they have been emi nently well pleased to such an extent that many persons havo visited the cozy thea ter two and three times. The same ex cellent bill will be continued until Mon day next, when there will be an entire and absolute chango of bill, with new and novel features, new faces, new singers, new pictures, and It may safely bo guar anteed that the bill for the second week fully sustains the rich promise of the opening week. Tho management would respectfully re quest its patrons to come early, as, not withstanding the large seating capacity of the house, the late comers find It dif ficult to secure scats. Professor Musllner has taught his sheep and hogs some now tricks, which are Interesting, and Fyne and Dandy vary their act each night, so that there is always something of Interest going on at the Grand. The greatest story film ever Bhown in this city Is that of "The Guiltless Tramp, which absolutely convulses the audience with laughter. Those who have not al ready visited the Grand this week should take advantage of Saturday and Sunday or'they will miss: a good bill. The" Four Flying Banvards. Today and tomorrow are the last days of the Four Flying Banvards In their sen sational act at the Star Theater. This great act is put on only at 3:30, 8:30 and 9:30 P. M. It Is one of the world's great est circus acts, and that it is well pre sented at tho Star Theater goes without saying. The Banvards are four acrobats, two lithe young men and two graceful yqung women. At the risk of their lives tho young men hang by tnelr heels from the cradle of their trapezes, while the two girls swing from one man's hands,, turn ing fllpflops through the air. The other acts are also noteworthy, and altogether make up a vaudeville bill such as the patrons have become accustomed to ex pect and to reward with their hearty ap plause. Next week the six Austrian girls and the Mozart Comedy Four, ten persons in two acts, the best in vaudeville. NOW READY AFTEK. ILLEGAL RESIDENTS. Three Chinamen Examined, and One Is Ordered Deported. Tuen Tee Sun, Lee Jin and Wong Chop, the Chinamen arrested last week under the charge of illegal residence in the United States, appeared before Commis sioner J. A. Sladen yesterday for exam ination. Tuen Yee Sun bad no defense to offer. He had entered the United States as a merchant, but it appeared that during his residence here his entire time had been devoted to performing menial work In a laundry. Without even a denial on his part as to his rights of residence, he was ordered deported. Lee Jin and Wong Chop apparently have a better opinion of this country, for they stoutly protest against deportation. They both assert their right of residence, Lee Jin swearing that his papers had been burned in a fire, while Wong Chop is certain that his evidence of citizenship was maliciously stolen from hm. In order that duplicates of their papers, If they exist, can be secured from the Department of Commerce and Labor, Commissioner Sladen granted a continu ance of their cases, and after advice is secured from Washington a decision will be rendered. 2JAEE0WLY ESCAPED AEEEST.

MISSING M0EPHINE FOUND. Had Not Been Stolen, but Was Merely Misplaced. , A missing bottle of morphine, taken from Tom Lavlne after his arrest by De tective Vaughn, has been found. It was not stolen, as was suggested In the Muni cipal Court yesterday, when the case came up for a hearing, but was misplaced. It was located early last night by Sergeant Hogeboom. It had never been placed In tho sack with the remainder of the "stuff' taken, from the prisoner when he was searched. Sefore the morphine was found the of ficer caused a sensation, for when Lavine was arraigned on a charge of having mor phine in his possession he pleaded not guilty. When the bottle taken from him at the time of arrest was asked for. It developed that it was missing. Judge Hogue postponed the case for the purpose of giving time to find the bottle, which was necessary for a conviction. HOT TIMES ON LEWIS.

Mr. Thomas Do liber, president and treasurer of the cosapany, read the Thanksgiving aroclawatlea ot the President of the Untied States and that of the Governor of Massachusetts; then.
