"Residents o the annexed portion of Mount Tabor await the action of the new Council as to what disposition shall be made of It, and with what ward it shall be Joined." said Secretary H. W. Hodges, yesterday. In speaking of the matter He said furth er that the movement started by Henry Prettyman to contest the legality of the annexation is not making much headway as far as he could see. Few people, he -said, in the annexed district want to see what has been accomplished undone, and the movement Is not getting much en couragement. Mr. Hodges doubted whether any adverse effort will be made. At present the territory is not attached to any ward, but at the next meeting of the Council It is expected Its status will be settled. The Mount Tabor Improve ment Association will hold a meeting July 10. when plans for getting sewerage and Increased water supply will be adopt ed, and working committees will be placed in the field. To the committee, of which It. G. Piatt was chalrmau, which asked for a representative on the new Mayor's Executive Board, the Mayor gave little encouragement, and the request for rep resentation was turned down.

Two holdups with in a few minutes of each other occurred last night shortly after 10 o'clock on the East Side. J. L. Porter, a cbnuffeur with a stand at Sixth and Washington streets, in company with a young woman on their way home from church were held up at East Twelfth and East Flanders streets. Porter, at the point of a revolver was compared to give up 51.50 while the young woman with him was commanded to move on. The holdups failed to take a diamond stud and a gold watch from Porter, evi dently 'fearing that the articles could be Idcntiiled. A few minutes after the first holdup a report was telephoned the police station that another holdup had taken place at East Burnslde and Six teenth streets and the victim relieved of J20 and a gold watch. The man refused to give his name. Bishop J. M. Thoburn Here. Bishop J. M.

A miniature cy clone was witnessed by people living In the vicinity of Russcllvlllc on the Base Line road a few days ago. According to the stories related of the occurrence It was most remarkable and unusual, puz zling" even those who had lived where cyclones were common. "There was no breeze and the atmosphere was perfectly clear." said E. Emery, who has a farm adjoining the field where a lot of h,ay had been cut. Mr. Emery and son were at work, when the latter exclaimed, "Look there!" to his father. Both saw half a ton of hay, lifted from a nearby stack, floating upward In s. compact form. They and others watched the singular specta cle until the main portion of the hay disappeared in the direction of Mount Scott. A small part or the hay was seen to fall, but most of It was deposited somewhere on Mount Scott, which Is about five miles south of Russellvllle. The watchers had hardly gotten over their amazement when another lot of hay was picked near where the first was lifted, and It was carried upward gently several hundred feet, and then scat tered over the country toward the south. There was something uncanny about the occurrence. Those who stood a short distance away from where the hay was lifted say that something seemed" to reach downward Into the hayfleld like a groat pitchfork, scoop up the haystack and lift it bodily to a great height skyward, when It floated gently toward the south, and then reached down after some more. The hay was not even whirled about aa would have been the case had It been an ordinary whirlwind. Mr. Emery who had lived In a cyclone countrj said It was one of the most remarkable spectacles he had ever seen, and he says that It seemed to him that some unseen arm had rorfched down and carried off the hay. Must Keep Off the Sidewalk Those who travel on bicycles must henceforth keep off the sidewalks In Central East Portland, as well as In all portions of the city. Patrolman E. Burke who Is on the Central East Portland, territory, says that he has been warning bicycle riders caught on the sidewalks not to violate the ordinance again. Henceforth, he says, there will be no more warnings given, but arrcots will follow whenever anyone 1s found riding on the sidewalks.

V Policeman Carr assarts that Jack Scott, the burglar, did not attempt to kill him, and that he himself made the arrest. "There seems to be a misunderstanding as to who made the arrest from the pub lished accounts," says Carr. "and In Jus tice to myself and those who were pres ent I would like to make the statement that I went to the room, disarmed Scott and placed him under arrest. I took him from the room, and after getting him al most to the street. Detectives Kerrigan and Snow came along.4 Scott had no op portunity to try to murder me, because I gave him no chance. I did not use handcuffs, as they were not necessary. I am not making this statement to ob tain notoriety, but because It is the truth, as I can prove by witnesses." WHERE JO DINE.

Burnett's Extract ef Vaailla imparts a bt perior eellcatyr or flavor, try it ve it OUT FOR PRESIDENT Many Councilmen Seek the Position. WILL ELECT WEDNESDAY As There Is but One Democrat In the Body, the Struggle Lies Among the Other Four teen Members. The new City Council will meet for the first time next Wednesday afternoon, and one of Its Initial steps In the direction of permanent organization will be the se lection of a president. "Jack" Anand, Councllman-at-largeand manager of the Pacific-Postal Telegraph Company, Is a candidate for th'e honor, but if rumor is any criterion, he will have 13 competitors for the place among .the other 15 members. Councilman Vaughn, the only Democrat among the lot. Is not reckoned In the running, so far as the presidency is con cerned, and, as, far as political com plexion goes, will resemble a huckle berry In pan of milk when Mayor Lane calls the Council to order. Soon after the new charter was adopt ed, the Council, probably Imbued with the Idea that a Republican Mayor was always going to hold the office, passed an ordinance clothing the municipal execu tive with extraordinary power of ap pointing all the various committees of the Council, and this Is one of the lega cies the present body has had thrust upon It. At an oarly stage of proceedings there was considerable tnlk among the Coun cilmen of divesting the Mayor of this privilege, but under the plea that It had no wish to quarrel with Lane, and actu ated still further by the belief that he would accord the liberal element proper representation on the committees. It was finally resolved not to disturb him. In this prerogative. The four most Important committees at the disposal of the Mayor are the ways and means, liquor license, judiciary and elections and street, and of these It Is almost certain that Vaughn will get an Important chairmanship probably" tho street committee while It Is claimed also that Masters and Wallace will llkewiso receive proper recognition In tho as signments. As now constituted, the Council stands 12 to 3, according to Municipal League indorsement. If divided Into two camps upon that hypothesis, Lano Is outnum bered at tho ratio of 11 to 4, and of the latter the so-called liberal element In the Republican party voted for Wills and Masters, so Wallace nndVaughn are In reality the only victors scored by the Municipal League. The battle lne for president of the Council as drawn today Is Sharkey. Beld Ing and Kellahar. representing tho liber al wing, and Willis and Masters, who are supposed to stand for the Municipal Association, although their friends arc vigorously denying that -they are' at all puritanical In their leanings or narrow In their views. Sharkey la supposed to have secured about 5 votes for the first ballot, but unless he wins al the outset His strength mny go to Beldlng on thft second ballot, while If there Is still -no. choice. It Is possible that the third bal lot will witness, the battle royal of Kel lahar, Gray and Masters. Annand. It Is urged, will not develop any strength before tho fourth ballot, according to present estimates. He has many powerful political friends, who will be of Immense assistance to him In case of need, and besides he has lots of Influ ence In the Council. He has not made any active canvass up tn date, but It Is claimed by his friends that lie figures to win. Another logical candidate, ac cording to gossip among local politicians, is Thomas Gray. Four leading candidates are Sharkey and Beldlng on one side, and Wills and Masters on tho other, with a possibility that they may prevent one another's elec tion and allow Annand to get In. AT THE THEATERS What the Preaa A cent Say. "THE BEAUTY SHOP" TC'XIGHT Kolb nnd Dili Present Xcw Musical Burlesque nt Marquum. Notwithstanding the great success made byKolb and Dill and their company In "I. O. U.," commencing this evening nt 8:30 o'clock with a patriotic matinee, Tues day, July 4. nnd the regular matinee Sat urday, this company of merry players will present to the fun-lovers of this city tho musical comedy-burlesque, "The Beauty Shop," at the Marquam Grand Theater. This funny burlesque was written by the well-known newspaper man. James G. Crawford, formerly of this city, but now one of the valued members of the San Francisco press. There 1s no doubt that Kolb and Dill have made themselves very popular with Portland theatergoers. In this playlet they arc given full scope to show their versatility: as Culmbacher, the president of the .pretzel trust. Mr. Dill has a part that fits him like a glove: as Pilsener. the secretary to the pretzel magnate, Mr. Kolb has a part that stands out in evry particular. Good. hINirlous fun, catchy music nnd specialties by the different members of the company make nn evening's entertainment calculated to dispel all your cares and send you home well satisfied with yourself. Miss Edith Mason will sing some new songs In her own Inimitable way; Mr. Persse. with his sweet tonor. will render all new selec tions; Dillon and Clark, as the typical tough pair, are amusing, and their spe cialty of the "Belle of Second Avenue" Is a treat.

Author's Night at the Bclusco Prom ises to Be u Brilliant AfTnir.

"The Conquest." It Is the epic drama of the West, and In ever" respect promises to become one of the great plays of America. Practical ly every seat Is sold In advance for to night, and there Is a large sale for the week which Is to follow. v The mountings and costumes are magnificent in the ex treme and the company will give a splen did performance.

The part was written by Mr. McCulley expressly for Mr. Berrell, and suits the player admirably. AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS At the Grand. This afternoon the Grand will present another of those all-feature programmes for which it Is famous. This being Fourth of July week, the bill Is especially clever and entertaining. The performances to morrow will be continuous from 2 till 11 P. M. The Buckeye Trio are acrobats and comedfans who have a trick cottage specialty filled with laughter. The Mu sical Hewitts are particularly .attractive for their melody numbers are above the average. Marshal and Lorraine are hih- class sketch artists and will be -warmly J welcomed, for their acting Is better than I usua.ly found In vaudeville houses. The Vassar Duo arc a couple of beautiful girls I who have voices as beautiful as their gowns. .Roberts and Demont are hand-to-hand balancers, with the reputation of being the best In their line of endeavor. As a pure feat of-strenght. hand-to-hand balancing Is'nlmost without equal. G. H. Shone sings "The Gray-Haired Pioneer." a song written by Portland composers, and the Grandlscopc has a great film called "Coal Mining In France." The Baker's New Bill. Having set the pace In 'Portland for good vaudeville attractions, the Baker Theater has been content with securing )only the very best acts, and the new bill, which goes Into effect this afternoon for the week measures up to the high est standard. Every person who appears on the new programme Is a star perform er, and there Is enough variety to meet all the requirements of a good show. The three Kuhns. who head the bill, are singers, dancers and musicians who are original and entertaining, and who come to Portland with a reputation as wld as the countrj. Lizzie Weller, who appears with a trick piano-playing act, gives a phenomenal exhibition of skill and clev erness. Fine & Dandy are a pair of acro batic comedians who not only do seem ingly Impossible acrobatic feats, but add humor to their act In liberal quantities. Jean Wilson, the talented baritone, has prepared a new Illustrated ballad; Rob crt Nome gives a touch of variety to the bill with his remarkable whistling and Instrumental act. Burns & Wilson look after the comedy end of the show, and a new scries of moving pictures on th blograph concludes one of the season's very strongest bills. A Good Show at the Star. "With today's matinee the Star starts off another strong bill of vaudeville for the week's run. To fittingly observe th. Fourth of July, the menu will include some good things, nnd all tastes will be satisfied. Stephens Fltzpatrlck ft Co., In "Two Matrimonial Ventures," will have the place of honor. ItU a bright little sketch; well presented. Frank Milton and tho DcLong Sisters will be Feen In a musical act which Is much above the average. Mack and Williams are two funny comedians who will tell some new things nnd sing a song or two. Jenkins and O'Neill present a comedy act In which both do some good dancing nnd play the banjo. Mr. Bonner's selection will be Chauncey Olcott's latest success ful song. "Kate Kearney," the slides to which arc very attractive. Frank Scleh. Arabian gun-splnner. and the Staroscope's sensational war film, "Taking a Fort Again," will complete the make-up of an' attractive bill. POOR PAY INJURES FORCE Experienced Men lienve Fire De ment for Something Uettcr. The paid fire department of Portland was established about one year ago upon a salary basis of $65 a month to the rank and file men. and since then there have been 92 resignations from the department on account of the low pay. the men sim ply using their positions as a stepping stone to something better. Chief Campbell has regarded this feature of the situation as a serious menace to the Integrity of thcsystcm. and. waiving all personal fdeas of advancement, has sought upon numerous occasions to secure nn Increase In the pay of those occupying subordinate positions.- Lately he succeed ed in inducing the Executive Board to pass upon tho proposition, with the result that nn ordinance was recommended placing the salary of hosemcn. Iaddermen. stokers, drivers, plpcmen. supply driver and switchboard operator at $is a month to begin with; $70 n month for those who have been In the service more than six months, nnd $75 a month for those who havt bi-cn In service for a longer period than one year, this being the .maximum amount to be paid, according to this clas sification. In view of the favorable action of the Executive Board, the City Council passed nn ordinance appropriating the sum of' $S001 to carry out the provisions of the measure, whereupon It developed thai the Intentions of the Executive Board were liable to be neutralized through some al leged technicality In the proceedings. . Under the system of municipal civil service, a desirable element Is being con stantly furnished from the eligible list, but about the time experience makes tho new member a .valuable factor In the de partment, something better offers and his resignation follows In short order. It Is I believed that if some sort of encourage ment of the character indicated by the prcposcd increase in pty was held out to the men thnt they would be more content ed and satisfied to remain, and It Is the prevailing opinion among those competent to form an Intelligent opinion upon the subject that unless sometlng of the sort Is soon carried Into execution, the fire 4 department of Porland will gradually tie- j generate Into a condition of being a clear- I lug-house, for raw recruits.

"Lost In London." The same old story of a weak and curious girl listening to the golden words and glittering promise? of ,the stranger visiting by the humble l fireside. The same sad tale of a wom an's jleldlng. of her sorrow, her remorse and her pathetic death. The same tragedy of humble love betrayed yet en during, wronged yet forgiving. The Empire Stock Company hag put many ploys before the public of Portland and all of them have taught the lesson Intended, well nnd truly, but In that now being presented ls one little spark of human life most of the time kept smoth ered under the. guilt of the vlliran; the fact that even those who have of fended mny have some pmall glint of sorrow for wrong done and the heart to spenk It out. Sometimes even the wicked Is sorry and feels the pangs of useless repentance. . "Lost In London" tells thq world-old story, but In different words. It tells of bow the human heart may be wracked and torn by wrong nnd trouble and still forgive, though perhaps It may not for get. It 'shows the 'wages of sin to be the ashes of regret from which have been burned all that is bright and sweet and glad. It points that there Is one way to. go which though It be narrow and steep and hard at times, ye leads In the evening through pleasant vales, to sleep that I? sweet. When the curtain rises. It brings? to the nudlencc the Interior of a miner's lone ly home In wlilch Job Armroyd liven nnd where he loves the wife Into whose keeping 'he has placed the happiness of a lonely and a manly life. And In this home Is heard the pleading of the man who. seemingly a friend. Is the most-to-he-dreaded enemy, who makes the home a hovel. The second act shows- the taste of the cup and Its? bitterness, the third the moral that no waywardness may escape Its reward. Frank Fanning as Gilbert Featherstote. phows that "nil men are not more than half bad." His work lends the story much of Its .Interest. George B. Berrell. in the role of 'Job Armroyd. picture? well the traits of a noble character. Ger trude Perrie. the- wife, with -her suffer ing and her repentance brings close to the heart the truth of her acting. These construct the framework about which the rest of the compnnjv build a bfcautlful ami effective play. There Is no doubt but that the thentergwers of Portland will make good use of their opportunity to see and hear the presentation of the lesson taught by "Los In London." Next week an entirely new and orig inal romantic drama entitled "Tho Heir Apparent." will be given to the public for the first time. It was written by Johnston McCulley. of Portland, and has been pronounced of high grade and sure tp win success.
