THE 3IORNING OKEGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1905. NDECENT Shaw's Drama Causes Thea ter Manager's Arrest. CONDEMNED BY CRITICS Xcw York Police Commissioner Stops Production of "Mrs. War yen's Profession" and Mana ger Withdraws It; XEW YORK, Oct. 3L The police today stopped the production of George Bernard Shaw's play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession," by arresting Samuel Gumpertz, manager -of the Garrlck Theater, In which the play made its first New York appearance last night, on a charge of offending public decency in sanctioning the performance. Police Commissioner McAdoo ordered that all further performances of the play should cease. Mr Gumpertz was paroled on his prom ise to bring with him to court tomorrow all the members of the company. Including JMary Shaw, Arnold Daly, Chrystal Home. John Findlay, Fred Tyler and Gorge "Warren, and also ex-State Senator "V. H. Reynolds, owner of the Garrlck Theater. Mr. McAdoo himself saw the play last night and conferred -with Mayor McClcl lan today before Issuing his order. Ho -warned tho company that anyone partici pating in further performances of this play would be arrested. "While tho money will bo refunded for seats purchased, many persons will be losors through hav ing purchased tickots from speculators. Arnold Daly made the following state ment this afternoon: Accepts Verdict of Critics. I announced In the beginning that I would constitute tho dramatic critics of New York a. Jury to pass upon the ntnoss or unfitness o "Mrs. "Warren's Profession." Their ver dict was rendered today. It was. against the piece and I will stand by ray word. I will make no attempt to repeat the performance tonight. I do not consider It dignified on ray part to seek an Injunction. In vlow of ray announcement made before the opening per formance. The Garrlck will bo dark tonight. It Is said that Mr. Daly has spent $19,000 in preparing "Mrs. "Warron's Profession" for production. Great Crowd at Theater. This notice, signed "Arnold Daly," was posted outside the Garrlck Theater to night: Vurther performance of "Mrs. "Warron'n Profession" will be discontinued owing to xb'e universal condemnation of the pros. A large force of policemen was at the theater and had difficulty In keeping in order an immense crowd that had gath ered. The theater was closed and two anen in the box office wore busy refunding money paid for tickets. The management announces that tho theater will be opened tomorrow with an other of ShaWs plays, "Candida." JETTY IN URGENT NEED (Continued From Page 1.) ton, by reason of his position on the commerce committeo, is able to secure tin amendment making an appropriation for the Columbia river, it will be neces sary for some one to look after that -amendment when..- the sundry - civil bill goes back to the House for Toconsldora tlon. This emphasizes the necessity for iavlng a strong delegation from Oregon In the House this "Winter and oaslly In dicates the course which Representatives Hermann and Williamson should pursue. Even if these two Congressmen should come to Washington, they would be un able to aid legislation for the Columbia river; their very-advocacy of suoh legis lation would cast suspicion upon it and Jaring about Its defeat, Obstacles Should Get Out. Much wonderment is expressed in official circles in Washington that Senator Mitchell and Representatives Hermann and Williams, being disgraced before their constituents and the Nation, do not relinquish their positions in Congress and permit other and competent men to oc cupy the- seats which must otherwise re main vacant this Winter. This senti ment is general. One official who has known Mitchell and Hermann through out their public careers said today: Mitchell and Hermann never rendered their tate better service than they oould render right now by resigning their seatF In Cen jrrcaa. It Is a shame that these three mem bers of the Oregon delegation insist upon, noming their seats when they can do abso lutely nothing for their state, and when by holding on they are doing untold Injury to Oregon interests. ' Extreme Case of Graft. Another official, close to Prosldont Roosevelt, had this to say: I am surprised thatv Senator Mitchell and jRepresentatlves Hermann and Williamson have not resigned before now. All three be trayed the trust reposad In them by their constituents, they showed themsolve9 uttorty unfit to represent their state In Congress, and yet. In face of thlB, In spite of their puWIc disgrace, they have the nerve to draw their salaries when they, are performing no single duty for which they were elected, and cannot. perform euch duty hereafter. Talk about Kraft; that Is an extreme caae. These three men are not only drawing Government aal Arles under falso pretenses, but thy arc de nying the State of Oregon all representation In the House of Representatives and dividing Its strength In the Senate. There ought to le some way to compel them to realcn. Many other opinions could he quoted, but it Is unnecessary. They are all along the lines above cited. The sentiment against Mitchell, Hermann and William son is very marked, and it Is apparent on every hand that nothing can restore them to a position of infiuonce with 'the Administration or with any Government the right to represent Oregon in Congress; denied the right to represent their constituents- in the departments, there Is nothing they can do tliat would reflect so much credit upon -thorn as to make way for new men. MUST SHOW EXCEPTIONAL CASE Senator Fulton Explains Urgency of Hard Work for Appropriation. ASTORIA. 'Or.. Oct. 31.-Spccial.)'- Senator Fulton realizes probably more forcibly than does any other porson in Oregon the great obstacles that must-be contended with Jn an effort to secure money at the coming session of Con gress to carry on the rlvor and harbor improvement work in Oregon, but he be lieves that by hard, persistent and united work on the part of tho Oregon people arrangements may be made so that the work at tho mouth of the Columbia River may be continued. In speaking of it this evening, he said: Too fact that Secretary of War Taft will PUT 151 not recommend an appropriation fer eenttau Ing the Columbia River Improvements Is net surprising to me. for. fn view ef the fact that no river and barber bill Is contemplated at the coming soeslon. It may bT oxpeeCod that be will follow the cu.om-and praotlee of his department and submit estimate for making appropriations to meet continuing eon tract. Munt Make Strong Case. It . is practically the uniform rule of Con gress to make no appropriations- for carrying forward rive and harbor improvements not under the continuing contract system, except In the rlvor and harbor bill, and none of the Impovementfi In Oregon are under the con tract system. It is altogether Improbable that a river and harbor bill will be ta64 at the coining version, and hence. It we eb&JI necuro an appropriation for any Oregon Im provement It wilt be necessary to IriHuce Congress to make an exception In favor of such Improvements, and we can only Induce It to do or. If at all. by tab)lehlng to the satisfaction of the committee on appropriations that ouch exceptional conditions obtain aa will JusUfy making the exception. In other words wo will have to make a caee whoreln. by rea fcon of the condition?, the project for which wv ask the appropriation 1s lifted out of the ordinary class of river and harbor improve ments. Tho mere fact that the improvement is meritorious, that it is necessary for tbo development of a grca zeetlon ef country, will not be sufficient of Itcelt to Induce Con gress to depart from Itn established und long arfherctUto practice. It seems to me, however, in the matter of the Improvement at tho mouth of the Co lumbia River, the fact .that a failure to carry on the work of constructing the outh Jetty will result in a great loss to the Government by reasoR of the dostruotlen of" the trestle by teredoes and storms to such- an extent that it will have to be renewed when work f-halt be Inaugurated again, should be sufficient to Induce Congraw to make on exception In fa vor of this project. ' More Expensive to Rebuild Jetty. The more matter of reoonntrucilng the Jotty. although a serious proposition in & financial -way, is net the sole loss that will be en tailed by allowing the work to bo discontinued until an appropriation can bo secured at tho second pesekm of the coming Ooogrees. Re construction of the Jetty after the rook has once been deposited is a much mere diffi cult and oxponsire project than is the con struction thereof in the first instance. I ant mtibfted wo will have the pport of the Chief of Engineers and his oeclstants in any effort we -may put forth to secure the neeetfrary appropriation to carry the construc tion of -the south Jetty to completion. I ob fervo by The Oregonlan that T. B. Wlloox has been delegated to go to Washington, dur ing the coming session to work to secure the needed &pi - at Ion. That Is a wise 4ec .tkn and a wise move. The Chamber of Com puweo aod Board, ef Trade of Portland and the various other commercial bodies through out the Northwest should adopt strong reso lutions favoring the necessary appropriaUoa. on the ground not only of the commercial e oeeslty for tho early completion of the Im provoraont, but sottlsg forth as well the great .kj that will result to the Government by delay. In truth, I am very tsueh coneerned. personally, lost a dbioentlnu&nee ef the work will result in eonditioM that wilt roako It very nearly ' ImeoAstMe to revive It and secure as good results as can certainly be obtained by iwehlng H forward now rapidly to completion. NOTHING FOR THREE SESSIONS Jones Says Sundry CJvll Bill Will Provide for Columbia. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Oct. 31. (Special.) Congressman W. L. Jones nr rlved home on the delayed morning train from Spokane at noon today. Ho wrs soon by a representative of The Oregon Ian this evening and had the following to say on the position taken by Secretary Taft relative to appropriations for rivers and harbors. I do not look for a river and harbor aeero prlation to g through cither branch of Con gress for three years yet. Nothing was done at the last-tWsslon and I 4o not bellevo the Secretary' will take It up again at either the next or Che fotlcuring Houston. But this sed not alarm the people of Oregon.

When told this evening of the state ment by Representative Jonos that the Columbia River and Celilo improve ments are under continuing contracts. Senator Fulton replied: "Unquestionably, Representative Jonos Is mistaken. Xoithor of those Improvements is under a continuing oontract." Not Continuing: Contracts. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 31. General McKcnzio says neither the mouth of the Columbia River nor the Celilo Canal Is a contin uing contract. Congress Is committed to the "construction of both projects, but has made neither a continuing con tract. DOCTOR GUI IIP IE 100! SAID TO HAVE BEEN LOCATED BY BOSTON POlilCE. Theory Now Is That Chorus Girl Un derwent Two Operations Before Body Was Dismembered. BOSTON. Oct SL Chief Inspector W. B. Watts stated tonight that the doctor who dismembered the body of Susanna A. Goary, tho -suitcase victim, lias been located. He did not expect. ..however, that any arrest would be .made for a day or two. intimating that the police wore waiting for something more defi nite from Morris Nathan, the lover. of the girl, who is now Jn custody Jn Pitts burg. The theory. of 'the police regarding the whole 'affair. In which tho most se rlqus charge, in connection with it can only be '.manslaughter. Is that Miss Geary wont to 'a woman and submitted to an illegal operation. Tho operation was not a success, but bofore tho girl died a male physician was called in and he attempted to save the girl's life by a second operation for peritonitis. Miss Geary died, .the doctor then dls momberlng the "body and distributed portions of It Jn two suitcases, which were subsequently found. ' The chargo against the woman can only be one of manslaughter, while according to Superintendent Pierce, of tho local police force, it will; , bo -difficult to bring any charge against "Na than, unless ho should be accused of concealing a" crime. PITTSBURG, Oct 3L Morris Nathan, arrested here in connection with tho Wln throp suit-case mystery, voluntarily left the city tonight at 11 o'clock for Bostpn In. the custody of SHas P.

RES N (Continued From Page L) - a Republican, that appointee would have the advantage of Incumbency in the con test before the Legislature In 1S07. WASTED BREATH, HE SAYS State Senator KuykendaU Doubts Wisdom of Asking Resignations. EUGENE, Or., Oct, 31. (Special.) Dr. W. KuykendaU, President of the State Senate, when approached for his views regarding the advisability of action toward securing the resigna tions of Senator Mitchell and Congress men Hermann and Williamson, ox pressed himself as follows: "I doubt the wisdom of making a public demand that tho accused Sena tor and Representatives resign. If, after looking over tho whole situation and advising- with friends -and attor neys, they decide not to resign, I do not suppose any amount of public clamor would 'shake them, t would guess that effort along that line would be wasted breath, and we shall need all our breath If wo arc .to get what Orogon needs the next two yoars. An offort to unite and harmonize tho whole state will be most usoful at this Juncture. "There is an unfortunate lack of sympathy between Portlapd and the stato at large. It is no use to argue whose fault it Is; the fact remains as stated. At the very timo of all times when Oregon needs help, when Im mense opportunity seems almost In our grasp, we find ourselves handicap ped by a broken delegation at Wash ington, a widespread disapprobation of our state without, and bickerings and distrust within our own ranks. Prob ably -we shall not for some time have a full delogatlon in. Congress. Cer tainly wo shall not soon get rid of the bad name our stato has acquired abroad; but there is no sound reason why our whole state should not be a unit on the proposition of a square deal for every part of the state and every man of us for a greater Oregon. "As a citizen of Lane County, I am willing to concede that at this moment the battle for a Columbia River ap propriation is paramount. Let us all lino up for that. A strong delegation of citizens to go to Washington looks to be one of the most hopeful lines of action. There are men in the state who can do as much In Washington as a private eltlzen as any newly-elected Congressman can. When this fight is over, let us not forget that there are other urgent needs. We have othor harbors. Wo need railroad and electric lines ia the Interior of the state. We have mines to de$lop. Our state schools nood loyalty and proper backing. We agree that Portland must bo made a magnificent city, but to do that, the whole state must be devel oped. A broad "view of the needs of tho whole state will Anally brinj the host results to Portland." Othor prominent Republicans ex pressed tliemsolves in about the same manner, but none of them scorned to think that tho desired object could be accomplished in this manner. Most of them agreed that the state Is in groat need of a full working delega tion in Congress, and that it would be a relief if the accused Senator and Rep resentatives should voluntarily re-sign and make it possible to have their places promptly filled, but all soom to doubt whether this will bo done. In regard to urging appropriations for the completion of the Columbia River improvement, all agree that the claim of tho state on this point cannot be made too strong, and the effort made by Portland will be heartily In dorsed by leading men of bot'h parties. THEIR USEFULNESS IS ENDED State Senator Farrar Says It Is Not Question of Guilt or Innocence. SALEM, Or.. Oct. 31. (Special.) "Them Is no. use mincing; matters any loBgerr said State Senator Squire Farrar, in discussing the resignations of Senator Mitchell and Representatives Williamson and Hermann. "I have stood up for these men until today and have condoned all thoir offenses. An have the people of this state, but the position taken by The Oregonlau today In Its leading editorial is exactly right and proper and the throe men under h cloud should resign. It Is not a question of guilt or innocence. .These men can be of no further service, to tho state as representatives at Washing ton and they should make way for men who can go there and look after the state's Interests. I presume Governor Chamberlain, would appoint a Democrat to fill the vacancy If one existed. So far as I can see. that would do no harm. It is bettor for us to have a good Democrat for Senator than a bad Republican. If Mltcholl, Williamson and Hermann con sider the welfare of the state and of the Republican party they will resign." TWO SHOULD RESIGN. But, Representative Newell Docs Not Include Hermann. " FOREST GROVE. Or- Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) Hon. W. K. Newell, one of the Representatives from Washington County. Is very strongly of the opinion that Senator Mitchell and Representa tive Williamson should resign their po sitions and give place to men who can All them usofully for the State of Ore gon. Thcy are not sent to Washing ton to honor them." he said, "but be cause they arc expected to do impor tant work for the state, and if, through misfortune or otherwise, they are placed lna position which renders It impossible for thorn to perform thoir dutlos. then they owe it to their state to give place to others who can. As to Representative Hermann this responsi bility, doos not apply. He has not yet boon tried and is entitled to the pre sumption of Innocence Until proved guilty. - NO GOOD WTOUIiD RESULT. State Senator Laughary Docs Not See How Resignations Can Be Asked. DALLAS, Or.. Oct. 3L (Special.) State Senator V. S. Loughary. of Eolk County, said: "Viewed from tho standpoint of the best business interests of the state, existing conditions In Oregon cannot cause other than deep regret- Yet. I do not see how Senator Mitchell and Rep resentatives Hermann and Williamson can reasonably be asked to resign at this time. Mitcholl and Williamson's cafes are still pending in the courts and Mr. Her mann has not yet been tried. While the state Is In an undesirable position 1 fail to sec how conditions would be bet tered by the resignations of these men. existing circumstances considered. I do not believe that any particular good for tho state could be accomplished by send ing inexperienced men to Washington to jiarvo for the few mopths that will elapse before the official terms of our present Representatives expire." LEAVES IT TO THEIR JUDG5IENT State Senator Haines Says Resigna tions Would Be Patriotic AcU FOREST GROVE. Or- Oct 3L (Spe cial.) Hon. E. W. Haines, tato Sen ator from Washington County, said la regard to the resignation of Senator Mitchell and Representative William son: It Is a matter of great Importance that Oregon should be fully represent ed In both halls of Congress at this time. It Tvould be a serious blow to this state should Congress fall to make ap propriations for continuing . improve ments on the Columbia, both at Its mouth and at The Dalles, but the men occupying these . positions are. fully aware of the situation and If they should be willing to step aside In order that others who can do it more 'suc cessfully mlght'take up the work, then the people of the state would recognize the sacrifice as a ' patriotic one and would give them credit accordingly. But knowing the Senator and Repre sentative as I do, I am willing to leave it to their own best Judgment as to What would be the proper course to take in the matter." LET HERMANN WAIT. But Mitchell and Williamson Should Step Out, Says Crolsan. SALEM. Or., Oct. 31. (Special) In answer to an inquiry today State Senator E. M. Crolsan said: "I do not wish to say anything against the defendants In the land-fraud cases and have only the moat kindly feeling toward them. Representative Williamson and myself were schoolmates when wo were boys and have always been warm friends. It seems to me. however, that since Senator Mitchell and Representative Williamson have been indicted and havo been found guilty by a Jury of 12 men they should resign. Their Influence at Washington Is at an end. With Repre sentative Hermann the situation Is some what different. Hermann has been in dicted, but has not been tried. It Is gen erally admitted that the Government has a weak case against him. I do not think ho should resign until he has been tried, but if a Jury then, adjudges him guilty he should vacate his office." Browncll Declines Interview. OREGON CITY". Or- Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) State Senator Browncll declined to bo Interviewed as to whether Son ator Mitchell and Representatives Her mann and Williamson should resign, re marking that under the circumstances and in view of his friendly relations with Senator Mitchell. It would be out of place for him to say anything. Rand Says Situation Is Serious. BAKER CITY. Or.. Oct. 31. (Special.) Senator John L. Rand refuses to ex press any opinion as to -whether Mitchell. Wllllamron or Hermann should resign. He said: "I realize that it Is a serious situation In which Oregon is placed, but I would not like to say anything about what these gentlemen should do." 5 US AN PRINCE LOUIS, OP BATTENBERG, TO BE ROYALLY WELC03IED.
