The St. Johns Council and Smith Bros., who purchased the Rankin water-front property in St. Johns, embracing the electric sawmill frontage, have failed to agree on the vacation of Charleston street. The company had erected . a three-story building prepara tory to installing marine boiler works, when It discovered that it needed Charles ton street, which extends through its land. The street Charleston Intersects 3ms been vacated, which leaves no access by the public to Charleston street. Re cently the Council made the discovery that the public dock at the foot of Rich mond street occupied nine feet of the Rankin property. It was .proposed to the new owpers that they give the city this nine-foot strip, occupied by the dock. In exchange for the GO-foot street the com pany asks for, but the representative of Smith Bros, declined to entertain this proposition. The Councllmen say that the GO-foot street is worth much more than the nine-foot strip on which -the public dock projects, and that they will not vacate unless this exchange is made. Will. Bb Expedited. It is expected that action on the Brooklyn sewer will now be expedited. Many of the property owners through whose lots the sewer will run got the impression that deeds for rights of way meant actual deeds for so .much of their land, to which they ob jected. City Attorney McNary will set their minds at rest as far as that is con cerned. He will explain to them just what the deeds mean. They simply call for the privilege of laying the conduit through the lots, and also to go on the land and make repairs whenever this may be necessary . bu( otherwise the deeds do not confer "any title. It is now thought that the matter can be arranged without condemnation proceedings. Firemen Atteojd Funeral. The fu neral of A. R. Corliss, member of Com pany Xo.

Hits So Valuables, and Is Allowed to Pass On Police Discredit Story Will Sot Investigate. Waiter Lynch, a 13-year-old boy. of 263 East Twenty-ninth street, was held up at East Eighth and Taylor streets at 6:15 o'clock last night by a roughly drosscd thug. Although badly frightened Lynch replied to the highwayman's domand for money, saying that he was "broke." The highwayman accosted the boy and leveled a revolver at his head. He did not take the trouble to search his poekots. evidently being surprised that he had 7iuul the mistake of holding up one so young. Lynch is large for his age and has the appearance of being' more than 1G. Lynch told his parents of the hold-up and the police were notified. The police refuse to believe the boy's story, and no investigation, according to the orders of Chief Gritzmachor. will be made- So many hold-ups have taken place during the last month that roports of crime telephoned to the station axe little credited until a full Investigation is made. That highwaymen are infesting the city no one at police headquarters will deny. But that the department Is not able to cope with the situation wyi not be ad mitted.

Out of the scores of hold-ups that have occurred since Fall only one case has been disposed of. that of the Centennial Hotel robbery and murder case. BENJAMIN F. HAYDEN DEAD Carbolic Acid Bottle Lends to The ory of -Suicide. With indications pointing strongly to a theory of suicide. Benjamin F. Hayden died suddenly yesterday morning, at the Fashion Livery Stable, of which he was one of the proprietors. His death occurred when no one was with him. but a par tially emptied bottle of carbolic acid, found in one of his pockets, told the story of the deed. Mr. Hayden was well known about town, having been a resident of Portland for mGny years. He came here from New York, and was manager for the firm of Haywood Bros. & Co.. before he entered the livery business. Of recent years he had been drinking excessively, ami to this fact is attributed his desire to end his life. He was CS years of age. and. so far as is known, had no relatives living. Yesterday morning he went to his place of business early, and those who were with him noticed nothing peculiar in his actions. About 3 o'clock he went into a room at the rear of his office, and shortly afterwards was heard groaning, as If in pain. The employes of the place imme diately went to his assistance, and found him lying on the flood dying. Coroner Finley was summoned, but no official examination Into thb cause of his death was. made, as his physician. Dr. A. H. Riiedy. could not be found. There Is little doubt, however, that when an ex amination is made today the suicide tho ory will be accepted, as every Indication points lo carbolic acid poisoning. The bottle of acid found In his clothes he pur chased Saturday, saying that he -wanted it for the treatment of a sick horse.

J W. B. Watson About half of the musical show C'Wat son's Burlesquers") at the- Baker Theater opening yesterday was distinctly better than any other of these combinations of music and fun that have come to this-down-town playhouse this year. It was so much better. In fact, that at first it seemed a fit occasion for tiring skyrockets of praise and Jubilation. I felt like hol lering to everyone in town, and, on my word, advising them to sec this week's burlesque or miss something well worth while. You could not blame me for feeling that way. In the first place there war a larger and better-looking' chorus that worked splendidly. There were some good songs, songs good enough lo charm a musician. There was a pair of girl Jiggers who were cleverer than hard-shoe men doggers; there was a quadrille In extravaganza costume that was as good as any French ball one ever attended; there were two Japanese acrobats' who transported one to the streets of Toklo. none could be better than they; there was a reason able plot in the first skit: the women were Indeed lovely: the maid who Fang. "Isn't It Magnificent to Be Upon the Stage?" showed a voice that was as sweet as silver bells. The Japane.c pair were suporb In their balancing .act. They could balance any thingthe books of the Equitable Life and my score with the recording angel. And" they arc on a par with the star knockabouts. There Is a gathering of liv ing sculptures that must be seen to be appreciated: smiling buds and full-blown roses in exquisite dresses catch the eye's fancy. Barring a few gloomy patches of rough-house, genuine frolic lifts you Into an enjoyable frame of mind. The costli ness and profusion of the high-class per formers should have made it the climax of the season. It Is. with the exception of that last irremediable splash of coarseness. Even that could, through pruning, be made a less appropriate subject for the scrutiny of the police. The hope Is that Miss Jeanettc Monitor's Ithe "Venus") ex quisite beauty will of its own superiority lift the trouble she makes above the un fortunately discolored dialogue in which her enticing personality is submerged. s B. LEE PAGET AVOULD GIVE BAL LOT TO WOMAX. AVeekly Meetings of Oregon Associa tion Weil Attended and Much Intercut Manifested. The weekly meeting of the Oregon Suf frage Association held Friday afternoon was. well attended and much business of importance transacted. The association now has speakers In every thickly popu lated county of the utatc and the cam paign Is on in good earnest. After the close of the National convention in Bal timore. Rev. Anna Shaw will come to Oregon and speak In all the prominent cities and towns. The number of new members which come in each week is 7 considered as sig nificants of deep interest In the Issue by the workers at headquarter? and through out the state, and yesterday another long list was added to the membership. A letter was read from Miss Anthony, who donated $100 to the Oregon campaign from her personal funds. It was an nounced by correspondence from National headquarters that special arrangements were being jmade for the entertainment of the Oregon committee at the Balti more convention, which convenes Febru ary 7. B. 7ec Paget has come out with a pub lic indorsement of the suffrage move ment and makes the following statement: "1 am glad the women of Oregon have decided not to longer waive their right of Suffrage and allow it to remain dor mant. "Thoir present promising campaign had reached the stage, whore It is conceded with .practical unanimity that such an Intrinsic right exists. "Such opposition as is encountered Is founded upon other objections. "Woman's strongest appeal for the ex orcise of the ballot may be based upon the question of her duty to enter politics and make her Influence felt In the ad vancement of the necessary reform ? In which our best citizenship Is interested. "It should be remembered now that aftor the victory has been won the -results of the first election in which women will participate, will raise our political standards. Just in proportion to the lofti ncps of the Ideals maltalned throughout this campaign! "The largest contributing factor to pre sent unsatisfactory political conditions Is that so many men have a false and un patriotic conception that they arc too good to participate in politics, and whilst their selfish neglect of public responsibil ity places them in a humiliating poIUon, the woman who falls to appreciate that it Is her duty to take a hand is liable lo precisely the same critlds m.

They are taking- a play around the country, and they produced it at the Empire Theater last night, and they will continue it all this week, that is named for the famous church that holds the strongest affections of the actors that little edifice on Twenty ninth street. Juat off Fifth avenue In New York, where no distinction Is made in caste or estate where all are wel comed and where every runaway cou ple within a hundred miles gets hitched. The play has no more to do with the church's character or history than I have, but it is a name that attracts the attention of the public, and that is why It is used. This is the meretricious point that mars the theatrical offer ing in question, and that Is all that can be said against lU Everything else about the occasion is gcjiuine and val uable. II is an excellent show for the price demanded, and It will meet with a generous response from the public Last evening they, did not rush to the Empire as If Mrs, Astor had in vited them to a reception, but there were as many there as could crowd in and not '.-.nng on the chandeliers. It was a rousing assemblage alternately cheering- and weeping one that Insti gates you to mellowness and acts on the system as a good cry clears up the mentality of a sentimental woman. It Is undoubtedly beneficial once In a while to get good and successfully drunk drunk on melodrama, if you object to alcohol. "While it lasts It re lleve one of all responsibilities, whether of a remembered ancestry, so cial or financial obligations, conscious ness of one's own beauty or distin guished attributes, duty to the world or your fellow man. or what not. And in the dsnd and constantly softening air of this valley, even the physicians rec ommend at least a regular amount of stimulant as necessary to your health. So J may counsel with all gooj faith and earnestness a wide attendance from this community at the perform ances of this Intense drama with farce trimmings that is going on at the Em pire. There are lines a-plenty that ecno the tenets heard in childhood. You will not listen in vain for the appeals to lony-current conceptions concerning the nobility of the female sex and the laborer. A mother and her child are rent asunder to be restored to each other's arms by a perfect gentleman or a bootblack, a. gentleman sure, though Ills talk is selected Boweryese. Anyone who can witness that play as given by this company without a lump :n his throat, or ah Inclination to laugh, or a thrill of bubbling emotion, or an ebullition or enthusiasm for many admirable exhibitions of acting ought to slink off Into the oblivion of Tacoma and be done wlth'hiraseir for ever. The company is the enterprise of Charles A. Taylor. The plav was writ ten by Marion Russell. Tile company Is familiar to Portland people and it merits the esteem In which it Is held. I admire it for It does not pretend to be more than It it. The comedian. Wil liam Li. Raymore. and the charact-r woman.

The recent decision of the Supreme Court In the Nease case to the effect that the selling of pools on a public thorough fare constitutes a nuisance. Is the basis of an action brought by District At torney Manning against William M. Ayers. with the Idea of securing a de cision relative to the selling of pools at the Multnomah Fair Association race track. Tfhcn requested for a statement as to why he had commenced action against Ayers. District Attorney Manning said: "I filed an Information against William M. Ayers for conducting the sale of pools on a racetrack last Summer for the rea son that the Supreme Court decided in the Nease case under the nutsance statute that the conducting of a place for the sale of pools on horso races on a busi ness thoroughfare in this city was a crim inal offense. Whether this is a lair in respect to the selling of pools on horse races out of the business center of th city is disputed. I thlnk however, that the act or Mr. Aycrs in conducting and selling pools at the Multnomah Fair As sociation racetrack last Summer is within vhe Nease decision. If I am right. I be lieve it my duty as District Attornov. to prosecute all persons at the racetrack or elsewhere, who violate that law. "I hare brought this information at this time In order to ascertain that if pool selling shall be conducted at the Mult nomah Fair Association racetrack next Summer those guilty of so doing will know definitely what the law is and will have no excuse for disobeying it."

Manion and Girl Ter rorized by Highwayman. THREATENED WITH A GUN ThHff Curses Defenseless Victims' or an Early - Morning l?obbery. Younger "Woman Thrown ' Into Hysterica. At the muzzle of a revolver Mrs. Dr. Katherlnc C. Manion and a young woman who is a student of the medical depart ment of the University of Oregon, were held up and robbed about 4 o'clock yes terday morning at East Nineteenth and Division streets by a lone highwayman, who took between and 53 from Dr Manion and cursed the student roundly because she failed to throw up her hands promptly. As a result of the fright she sustained the younger woman Is suffer ing from hysteria and was confined to her bed all day yesterday. She was able, however, to leave Dr. Manlon's residence at "550 Yamhill street last night in a car riage for her, home. Dr. Manion, in company with the stu dent, made a professional call In the sub urbs last night, and missed the last car to the city. They were unable to get a carriage and started to walk to the city. Near Nineteenth and Division streets they followed a narrow path, having in a manner lost their way. While passing a hedge fence the highwayman leaped over and confronted the two women. Both were startled at the sudden appear ance of the man. and when he ordered them to throw up their hands the stu dent seemed not to comprehend. Dr. Manion exclaimed. "O, you would not hold up two lone women, would youT With an oath and flourishing the revolv er before the face of Ihe student, the highwayman convinced "both women that he meant business. With their hands over their heads, standing In the mud. and In almost total darkness. Dr. Minion was asked to hand over her valuables. Lowering her arms she started to give her satchel to the highwayman, who commanded her to open It and give him the contents. Dr. Manion gave him a small purse containing between 31 and S3. Three or four diamond rings were in the satchel, which the highwayman did Jiot search. After robbing Dr. Manion the highwayman, with a parting oath, jumped over the fence and disappeared. Several blocks beyond the place where the hold-up occurred the women met Po liceman Parker, to whom they told their experience. Dr. Manion was not so bad ly frightened as her friend. The student had to be assisted to the city by the po liceman. She was hysterical, constantly repeated the oaths uttered by the high wayman, and could not be quieted. She was taken to Dr. Manlon's residence, where she was cared for yesterday. Every effort to suppress the facts re garding the hold-up was made at po lice headquarters. Highwaymen have be come bold in Portland, but this Is the first time that two women have been robbed on the streets and threatened with violent death. WILDCAT FULLS INTO MINE FIERCE BATTLE "WITH WORK MEN PAR UNDERGROUND. Enraged at Its Mishap, the Beast Starts Attack, and Is Beaten to. Death With Drills. SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 21. (Spe cial.) Unarmed men battled to the death with an infuriated wildcat 323 feet below the surface o the earth In the- Inkensan mine at Bingham. Utah yesterday. The animal had evidently come from, the surface through the 100-foot level of the mine. It blundered Into the shaft at that level and fell 225 feet to the bottom of the shaft. There It struck a cross bar and bounded into the 323-foot level alighting on its feet In the level. It crouched as if dazed for a few second? and then sprang furiously toward the men who were working there under the direction of Foreman A. Heaston. The men had no weapons except their tools and for a few minutes that sec tion of the mine was the liveliest spot In tne district. The cat was full grown and full or tight. Frightened and enraged by its mis hap and by the presence or the men. it charged about madly, seeking- to use teeth or claws on the men. There was no. opportunity for escape, so the men seized picks and drills and closed on the furious brute. The tide of the bat tle moved back and forth for a time until one or the men landed a lucky blow with a drill that put' the animal down In an instant. Other drills fell on the cat. which was soon beaten to death and- borne in triumph to the burface. Traveling Man Is Robbed. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 21 (Special.) J. A.
