To Fili, Grand-Avenue Slouch. The
Pacific Bridge Company Is preparing to
start on Us contract to fill up the slough
on Grand avenue, between East Stark
and East Oak streets. A plledriver is at
work putting in a .foundation, so that the
dumpcars can be operated with safety
and shifted from one side of the street
to the other. When the work of filling
starts, which will be in a short time, the
cars for MontavIIla and Bast Ankeny will
run over the Burnslde bridge. These cars
started over that route yesterday, while
the plledriver was in operation. It will
take about CO days to complete the fill.
While this Is being done all teaming traf
fic is confined to the narrow roadway o
Vnlon avenue, with a probability that It
may have to be closed unless the surface
be repaired.
Must Levt Tax. The St. Johns Council
must levy its tax for the coming year be
fore January 1, and it will perhaps be
done at the next regular meeting. City
Attorney Greene called the attention of
the Council to the levy Monday evening,
but no action was taken, as "the Coun
cllmen want time to think the matter
over and talk with the "people. The char
ter limits the levy to 10 mills, which, on
the taxable -alue as fixed by the County
Assessor, 51,250,000, would yield about $12.
G00. but there Is opposition to 10 mills,
and it will not likely be above 15 mills
and may be 5 mills. About $3000 in war
rants are now out, and the city has obli
gated itself to pay $3500 for the Oihouse
tract.

Portland music lovers had the pleas
ure of listening to an Interesting and
varied programme of English. French
and German songs given last night at
the White Temple, by Miss Mary Al
verta Morse, soprano. Edgar E. Cour
sen was the accompanist and he played
with Ills usual fine taste and judgment.
It is some time since Miss Morse
last appeared here In concert and m
the interim she lias gained In maturity
of art and in broad, cultured Inter
pretation. Last night, when she first
appeared on tlu- concert platform she
received a most cordial welcome, which
deepened as the evening proceeded. She
wore a charming gown of cream silk,
whloh harmonized perfectly 'with the
wealth pf palms and forns comprising
the decorations. Gifted with an engag
ing, commanding presence. Miss Morse
is possessed of true dramatic instinct
and control of voice production so
much so that it was decidedly agree
able to hear such Intelligent sinking;
and songs which were carefully select
ed to show the capacity of her voice.
She was best in her satisfactory rendi
tion of the Schubert songs. Liszt's "Die
Lorelic.'' and in Hollaendcr's "Tntorm
Machandelbaum." But she excelled in
melody, "Turn Ye to Me."

Melody, harmony, romance, humor
crowd through a whole evening In "The
Prince of Pllsen," which opened at the
Marquam Grand Theater last night. It Is
not new, in the sase of never having
been seen here before for it has but it
is one of those delightful and refreshing
musical comedies that never grows old.
Its melodies and catchy effect reappear
in the guise of old acquaintances and
awaken pleasant memories.
One of the largest and most fashionable
audiences that has turned out this season
greeted the play last night. Portland
theatergoers came oarly and eagerly, for
while we have had a few good shows tills
Winter, standard musical comedies and
comic operas have been'few and far be
tween. Those who went last night were not
doomed to any disappointment. "The
Prince of Pllsen" is In quite Vis capable
hands as when last seen here. The troupe
throughout Is -capable. Tlwr arc good
voices several of them the principals are
possessed of pleasing personalities, the
staging and costuming are magnificent
and there is a groat bevy of pretty girls
in tluchorus. Jes Dandy, as the Cin
cinnati brewer abroad. Is an ingenious
and clever comedian, who manages to put
something really funny into everything he
does. His little ballads on current events
were encored so persistently as to prolong
the play until 11:30. Those old familiar
airs. "The Message of . the Violet." "The
Tale of the Scashell." "The Stein Song."
"The Song of the Cities," "Pictures in the
Smoke" and "The Pretty Widow." were
prettily sung, and sung again to appease
a insistent and plastic audience. The
concluding performance of "The Prince
of Pllsen" will take place tonight, with a
special matinee this afternoon.

MANY VISITING PORTLAND
Swarm of Politician!: Here to DLcnss
the Chances of .Nomination
for Various State or Na
tional Position!:.
A swarm of Ropubllean poHtSctans was
in Portland yesterday talking about can
didate? for the several state offices, for
which elections arc to be held next' June,
most of the visitors having come hither
to attend the funeral of Senator Mitchell.
The brethren were eager to know what
candidates for the next Senatorial ejec
tion were to appear in Multnomah, for It
was the general opinion that . the rest
of the state would concede the Senator
ship to this count'. They were surprised
that Portland had not trotted out more
candidates than the three or four that
haw been boomed, such as Jonathan
Bourne. L. R. AVobster, T. B. Wilcox and
Dr. Andrew C. Smith, the only avowed
candidate of whom in Mr. Bourne.
Visitors Report Candidates.
From up their way the visitors could
report better progress. Thoy had to say
that four or nve Republicans were In the
nice lor Governor, likewise for the other
offices, among them being:
For Governor Dr. James Wlthycombe,
of Corvallls; C. A. Johnn. of Baker City;
C. A. Sehlbrede. of MarshfleM; Henry E.
Ankeny. of Eugene: T. T. Gccr. of Salem.
For Secretary of State Claude Gatch. of
Salem; Frank Wrightxnan, of Salem; Lot
Pearce. of Salem.

of Corvaltis; E. W. Haines, of Forest
Grove: J. H. Aitkin, of Huntlagton; W.

Pendleton; J. W. Scrlbcr, of La Grande.
For State Printer j. r. Whitney, of Al
bany; Willis S. Dunlway. of Portland:
Paul Custer, of Portland; W. J. Clark, of
GorraI?.
Four Lucrative Offices.
These four offices are the most lucrative
in the state government, the fattest be
ing tHat of State Treasurer, whtcn will
yield more to Its next Incumbent than It
has done to the present holder, because
the salary has been raised by the Legis
lature, Ychlle the emoluments from Inter
est on state funds have not been turned
into the state treasury.
Among yesterday's visitors were many
of the oM-time Mitchell element of the
Republican party, but the rival faction
had a number of representatives, too.
Conspicuous were I. L. Patterson. Col
lector of Customs, and D. M. Dunne. Col
lector of Internal Revenue; Harrison Al
len, of Astoria. Prosecuting Attorney for
the Fifth Judicial District: Thomas A.
MeBride. of Oregon City, Judge for the

his candidacy for Governor; George Steel.

urer; - j. lacnner, oi oawr -iiy. as
pirant for Representative In Congress

that office in the First District; J. M.
Hansbrough. of Roseburg. cx-raember of
the Legislature;. C. N. McArthur. of Rlck
reall. reading clerk of the Uouec of Rep
ropemnUveft The patriots were very much interest
ed In the race for Representative in the
First Congressional District, where Tooze
and HutoH are struggling against ach
other. The withdrawal of C. B. Moores
was believed by wm? to be helpful to
Tooze, but others thought Huston would
profit by It. If only Tooze and Huston
should be the candidate for the Republi
can nomination the problem might he
figured out. but the probability that W.
C, Hawley. of Salem, will take the place
of Moores as a third man In the con
test Mddcd perplexities for the brethren.
Two Marion County Men.
The presence of two Marion County
men in the tight would seem to divide the
vote of that county and therefore to be
helpful to Huston, tho candidate of
Washington County, but this is denied by
many persons, who insisted that Haw
ley would receive votes in Marion and
' elsewhere that otherwise would "be oast
! for Huston, because of their being op-
posod to Tooze.
I In- the Second District, no aspirants
! have yet announced their candMarlo.
Tnose who are mentioned for the nomi
nation are John L. Rand, of Baker City;
W. J. lachner. of the same city; W. R.

FATIIKK OF CItICK" HOUGHTON
GETS PETITION.
ARCd and Blind, -With Two Mxsn to
Ijad Him. He Visits In
fluential Men.
Blind, old and in feeble health. George
Houghton, father of Charles Houghton.
rHas "Chick! Houghton, now sorting a
five years' sentence in the Oregon State
Ponltontlary on a charge of highway rob
bery, is circulating a petition among the
influential men of the city for the pardon
of his son. The petition will be rant to
Governor Chamberlain in a few days for
his approval or disapproval. The father
of the convicted son is being taken about
the city by two of his friends, one lead
ing the old man by each arm. Mr. Hough
ton, who at onte time was an extensive
prorcrty-owncr in tho city, has. now lost
practically everything1 he owned. Mort
gages wore placed on his buildings and
lots to raise money for the defense of
"Chick" when the young man was being
tried In the Circuit and State Supreme
Courts. Mrs. Houghton, who. with her
husband, lives at 515 Twentieth street. Is
aging rapidly because of her grief, and Is
now afflicted with rheumatism so badly
that she is unable to leave her home.
"Chick" Houghton, who was reared in
Portland, has an unenviable reputation In
police circles. Before conviction on the
charge of highway robbery he was ar
rested on numerous occasions for petty
.crimes. His last arrest was on October 3.
1302, when he was captured by Detective
Joe Day and ex-Detective Dan Wdner and
placed in Jail on a "highway robbery
cbargu He was cntcnced in the Circuit
Court to eight years In the penitentiary,
but was placed In the County Jail pending
a rehearing'. He was resentenced on an
appeal bond and the case was carried to
the State 9-jpremo Court. The Supreme
Court sustained the decision of the Cir
cuit Court, and on March 21. 1KH. he was
sent to the Penitentiary.
During the long fight to beat the case
against his son in the courts George
Houghton lost all his property. "We
would like so much to have our son with
us again." said Mrs. Houghton last night.
;Ve get a letter from him every Wednes
day, and he always speaks of doing bet
ter. He says they treat him nicely up
there, but he docs want to get out so
badly. My husband and I have 37 names
on the petition now. and Joe Day signed It
yesterday. He arrested Charles, you
know, and It was kind of him to sign
the petition, wastn't It? We went to see
the Governor the other day to see what
he thought about It. but he was not In. so
we shall call some other day.
"You know father Is blind. He has been
that way for IS years. I havcthe rheum
atism so badly that I can hardly get
around the house, and our son would b4
such a comfort to us now. Well, good-by."
STARTS PIKE UNDER HALL.
Skaters at Rink Panlc-Strlckcn by
Work of Drunken Man. .
Panic-stricken skaters at Merrill's Hall.
Seventh and Oak streets, tumbled over
each other In a rush to the cloakroom
last night to get their wraps before es
caping from the building at a cry of fire.
To warm himself John Adolfson. while
Intoxicated, started a fire In the alley
way under the skating rink. Adblfson
was arrested by a special policeman and
a charge of attempted arson was placed
against him at police headquarters.
Adolfson. while In a state of intoxica
tion wandered under the building with a
pile of newspapers and kindling wocd and
started a Arc to warm himself. The odor
of smoke ascended to the skating rink.
Frequenters of the placo thinking the
building: was on fire made a wild scram
ble for the cloakroom to get their wraps.
There were almost 3.0 persona at the
rink when the panic started.
When discovered by a self-appointed
committee, which had started out to learn
the cause of the burning odor. Anderson
was sitting on a bench In a narrow pas
sage between the hall and another build
ing warming himself beside a large fire.
The woodwork of the building in which
the skaters were on the floor above was
scorched and would have begun to burn
in a short time.
Adolfon made no resistance when ar
rested and seemed not to. know the na
ture of his offense. "I Just warm myself
a little." he said when confronted by
Captain Moore. He was placed In a cell
and will be given a hearing in the Mu
nicipal 'Court this morning. "
OBJECT TO DOG IN JAIL.
Captain Moore Has n Strufrgle to
Itcniove Canine.
"Confound that dog. he'll got fleas all
over those fellows in Jail If he is not
taken out of here. I guess I'll tell the
Chief about him." Captain Moore, of the
first night relief, at police headquarters,
went to the head of the department In
regard to a bull pup that has been locked
up In the City Jail for two nights. Cap
tain Moore was not sure who owned the
dog. The pup. however, is known to be
long to John Price, coachman to criminals
who ride in the patrol wagon after mid
night. "No. I don't want that dog In jail."
continued the captain. "You see. my dog
lies around the house near the stove all
day. But that's all right. I don't mind it.
But some of these fellows when they get
out will go around and say that they had
to sleep In Jail with a dog all nlghL It
will give the Jail a bad reputation. Guess
I'll put the dog out In the barn."
Captain Moore went Inside the Jail and
mado two -or three ineffectual dives after
the pup. who thought Moore was playing
hide and seek with him. Finally corner
ing the canine, he snapped a pair of hand
cuffs around his neck "and led him out to
keep the horses company.
"Say. I'll bet that dog belongs to John
Price," sakl the captain, coming In again.
"lie is always bringing In some stray dog
or cat. The next thing he will be wanting
to give his horses music lessons."
Picked Out or the Gutter.
Mary Xorris. an old German woman,
was nicked, up from the gutter at East

one part of the city and at another In
pome other part. She was suffering vio
lently from chills, and after being taken

For Violating Hox Ordinance.
TV. 1L Close, proprietor of the Totem
saloon, at Seventh and Morrison street,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by Po
liceman Craddock on a warrant charging
him with violating the box ordinance. A
complaint against Close was signed by
Actlng Detective Kay. He Is accused of
having closed doors to his saloon boxes.
Bruin Inquiry Comes Up.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Bruin
Investigation will be resumed at the City
Hall before the Council committee, and
Secretary McPhcreon. of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, will be recalled
for further examination. Captain Bruin
will be placed on the stand at the conclu
sion of McPhcrson's testimony, and some
Interesting developments are expected.
The hearing will take place In the Coun
cil chamber, before a committee cotnposd
of A. X. Wills. Thomas Gray and II. A.
Belding. Dan J. Malarkey represents thei
City Attorney In the proceedings, while
Thomas G. Greene and C. A. Cogswell
appear for the Mayor and Captain Bruin.
It Is one of the contentions of the Civil
Service Commission that no appeal can
be taken from Its markings unless It can
be shown that there has been criminality.
It also holds that the markings of pa
pers are a matter of Judgment, and that
no two. persons can be governed by the
same characteristics In establishing the
rating of an applicant.
