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.

James Heed made a strong protest to
the nomination of O. J. Roberts as Coun
cilman because he Is in the employ of the
railway company. Mr. Uoberts has been
Councilman for the past year -and one
of the leaders in that body. He positively
declares that the company has never In
the slightest degree undertaken to Influ
ence him as Councilman since he has been
a member. Mayor Schlndler says: "No good
can come from fighting the railway com
J3any. We should encourage it to stay
here with its buildings." He Bald that If
re-elected he should endeavor to have the
charter changed so that more of the road
money should be vcnt Inside the city.
There promises to be a warm contest after
the independents get their ticket named.

Rev. A. 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

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."

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. C

private boxes for the Visitors.

Federated Trades Council Is
Undismayed.
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 .

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.
