District "Wants the Johns Monet.
The James Johns estate, which the St.
Johns school district seeks to obtain,.now
consists of about $7000 in .cash and a
block of ground reserved for a high
school building. The entire donation by
Mr. Johns was 15 blocks. It was his wish
that the proceeds of this property snould
toward the establishment of a school
In which the higher studies should be
taught, and that in the future these 15
blocks would Increase in value so that a
building could be erected on block 29.
which is reserved for that purpose, but
his desire will never be realized.. The
blocks were sold oft at prices ranging
from $400 to 5500 each, whereas the same
property would now bring, it Is stated by
judges of real estate, on an average of
J4000 a block, and if sold now would bring
t least $30,000. Johns evidently looked
forward to the time when the blocks ho
reserved for school purposes would be
valued at at least $250,000, and perhaps the
land will be worth that amount within
the next ten years. The terms of the will
are so amhlguous that there Is a wide
difference of opinion as to the legal meth
od of disposing of the funds, which have
""'passed into the hands of trustees. How
over, it Is agreed that Johns intended the
property to be used for school purposes.
but the exact Wnd of school intended is
not set forth. It is interpreted to mean a
high school, and on this Interpretation
the school directors are making an effort
to get the use of the money.
Souvenir Calendar. The Ladies' Aid
Society of the First United Brethren
t'hurch. East Fifteenth and Morrison
streets, has issued a beautiful church
calendar for the coming year. On the
first page is a picture of the church, and
then on the following 14 pages of the
calendar are pictures of the pastor and of
Oregon scenery. A picture of the new
manse, just completed at a cost of $1600,
also appears. All the names of the mem
bers arc printed In this calendar. Tha
scenic pictures are arranged on the face
nf the calendar to represent the months
of the year, and are very unique. "With
the picture of the pastor is a declaration
rf the platform of the church, as follows:
"Heal conversion: holy lives, consecra
tion and separation and sanctification and
holy spirit power; we do not .believe In
nor care- for card-playing, dancing, thea
ters or Sunday excursions; tithing, but
no money-making socials, entertainments.
bazars, etc.: prohibition the saloon must
v.so: mission the world for Christ; reviv
als: divine healing, as God may direct:
no compromise with sin; unity of true
believers."
Contractor Currier Defies Accusers
Contractor It- Currier, of St. Johns, who
was accused of defrauding several build
crs in St. Johns, and selling a piece of
property to three different parties has
returned to face his accusers. Mr. and
Mrs. Currier moved to San Francisco.
and hearing of these charges they decided
to return and clear up the cloud. Mr.
Currier denies that there was anything
wrong in his transactions in St. Johns or
at Isorth laklma, where he had formerly
lived and done business as a contractor.
It was charged that he built a house In
St. Johns and left without paying for all
the work and material. Mr. Currier de
nies this charge, and on the contrary says
that the man for whom he put up the
building was indebted to him more than
the amount of the Hens. He says that
he has been waiting for those who havo
claims against him to come forward, but
although he has been back a week or
more, no one has presented him with a
bill.
L.iquor-I,icenbe Fight at St. Johns.
Tlie indications are that the municipal
election in SL Johns, which will take
place in April, will be fought out on the
liquor-license question. The present gen
eral liquor-license ordinance pending be
fore the Council is not expected to pass,
now that the election for city officers Is
so near at hand. It has been postponed
from time to time on mere pretexts, and
the present Council seems to have decided
that it will not take the responsibility of
passing the ordinance. Tn the meantime,
tlie St. Johns Hotel Company, on the ba
sis of the resolution passed by the Coun
cil promising that it would give it a license
to maintain a public bar. if it erect a
building, has gone forward and put up a
two-story structure costing about $10,000.
The company will endeavor to hold the
Council on the strength of that resolution
and demand that a license be issued.
Considering iNconponATiON. Residents
on the Mount Scott Railway, including.
Anabel, Stewarts, Laurclwood, Kern
Park. Reservoir, Arleta, Firwood and
Trcmont, arc discussing' the question of
Incorporation. It Is estimated that a city
can be formed in that district with a
population ranging from 3000 to 4000. Sen
timent for and against incorporation
seems about evenly divided. Those favor
ing incorporation think it will enable the
district to get graded streets, sidewalks,
electric lights and other things which go
with a city government, but the expense
of these advantages is urged by the op
ponents. The district has a push club,
which has already accomplished much for
the neighborhood, and through, it the
question of Incorporation will be consid
ered. Contest His KiNsmr. If jolly "Tom"
Moran. of the East Side, should be-able
to establish his claim to the estate of
Patrick Moran, who was burned to death
in his cabin In a mining district in Mon
tana last Summer, ho would probably be
the owner of a considerable slice of the
business section of Helena. However, a
very determined effort is being made to
shut him out of sharing in the estate, and
an adverse administrator. John Murphy,
has been appointed to handle the estate.
It is even denied that Thomas Moran. of
Portland. Is a brother of Patrick Moran.
although at first it was admitted that
there was no doubt but wKat they were
brothers.
Rev. J. W. Miller Better. After lin
gering at death's door for several weeks.
Rev. J. W. Miller, pioneer, seems to have
partially recovered from his recent at
tack. He lives at the home of his son
O. P. Miller, on East Burnside street, and
he was reported yesterday to have more
strength than for several weeks, and was
in every way brighter and .better.

days ago. was recaptured by Patrolman
Barter on the East Side last evening, and
taken to the County Jail. Morrison said
he "just wanted a pair of shoes and
thought l'c would come to Portland and

WHO got the "garters?
That's the question among the
Baker Theater patrons.
A quartette of Summer girls, swing
ing lustily over the heads of the au
dience threw their ruffled ribbon sar
tors Into a thousand outstretched mas
culine hands yesterday afternoon, and
the lucky ones are hiding and prizing
the articles. This novelty, introducing;
four swings that enable the vision of
fleeting loveliness to sail cclllngward
and far up toward the gallery was
greeted with tremendous applause.
It was puzzling how the people re
ceive an impression regarding a com
ing show, but unquestionably the crowd
thought that "Miner's Americans,"
which opened at the Baker for a week's
run yesterday afternoon, was a trifle
weak, and the attendance was, accord
ingly, a little smaller than usual for a
Sunday matinee.
The audience was agreeably disap
pointed. It proved to be one of the
most pleasing presentations of the sea
son. If more of these anomalous as
sortments of hodge-podge, music and
grotesque inanities emulated the finesse
and intelligence of these "Americans"
the famous "Wheel" would be In better
repute among playgoers. The "Ameri
can" offering is structurally the same
as Its predecessors a skit of fun and a
string of vaudeville with attempts at
music exuding from every pore. First
among Its merits Is the fact that It is
breezy, speedy and witty throughout
It has a wcll-laundcrcd appearance
in its really pretty costuming. They
even call their dancing nervy, because
It takes a good deal of nerve to do
It The Dutchman docs not say enough
to be tiresome; the Jew Is a brisk,
little, crisp fellow, who does not al
low his end to lag: the Irishman Is
spontaneously Jokeful; the swinging
girls remind every boy of picnics In
sylvan glados. but will make no one
take to the woods; the whole thing
goes with a dash and sprightllncss that
has not been characteristic of these
shows up to the present week.
Even the horse-play of the alleged
comedians that Is necessary as a filler
while the chorus Is changing Its ap
parel, is not tedious and Is freer from
costermonger ribaldry, i suspect that
the man who engineered this aggrega
tion and. superintends the. execution of
details has some good sense and ex
cellent Judgment. He has gotten to
gether a list of as trim and trig a lot
of female rolllckcrs as you could meet
In a long day's walk.
Young Joe Goodwin Is a talented
monologist of big promise and conceit
Strange that a splendid entertainer like
this should not be compelled, to cut out
his affectations gasping for breath
and talking Ills songs. The Barlows
contribute a hair-raising aerial act
George Belts has a voice fit as regards
quality and training for almost any
place. Miss May Butler has a Schu-mann-Helnck
larynx a perfectly phe
nomenal contralto voice in Its infancy
Miss Gladys Clark also Is lute-voiced
and sings Impressively. The costumes
limn a most dainty mosaic In the clos
ing scene. At the curtain of the first
half the business and action of the
entire company Is swift and effective
enough to reward a manager If he paid
higher salaries than the bdxoflico war
ranted. They all work like Trojans
and the girls are pretty.
It's a sparkling, amusing series of
airy, beauty-hued bubbles from start
to finish. I did not find more than
two or three dull moments in it all.
And It has a popular charm, because
there arc touches of real daintiness in
the girls and their dressing, and strains
of real music In the uncommon voices
that haunt you after the curtain Is
down and the lights are out I think
that the show Is decidedly worth while,
as burlesques go In this year of our
Lord 1906.
AWAKENED FROM DREAM
"Wonjr Jxy, Embezzler, Is Arrested
"While Preparing to Sail for China.
Detective T. F. Ryan, of San Francisco,
arrived In Portland from Seattle last eve
ning, having In custody a Chinese named
Wong Loy. wanted in the Bay City for
embezzlement Loy was formerly a fore
man on a ranch owned by the Mow Sang
Company, of 143 Wavcrlcy Place, San
Francisco, and after selling a crop of po
tatoes belonging to the firm for flSOO. went
back to bis employers and secured $11-0
more, ostensibly to pay off the farm
hands, but instead skipped out with the
entire amount. $1450 In ail. He was lo
cated In Seattle on January 20 and the
San Francisco official was sent there to
bring him back.
When searched, a certificate of deposit
on the Ainsworth National Bank of this
city, calling for $2000 In Mexican money,
was found on his person, together with a
first-class ticket to Hongkong, China, for
which place he was evidently bound with
his Ill-gotten gains, when apprehended.
Loy was lodged in tlie City Jail last night
and will be taken back to San Francisco
this morning.

It Is difficult to think or' write se
riously of nn evening at the theater
when the most memorable event was the
utterance of the foregoing sentence.
Perhaps the occasion does not call for
serious reflection. Yet all things that
happen hav.e a definite importance and
are therefore serious, to a degree. "
"Happy Hooligan In New Tork," a
strange medley, was put forth at the
Empire yesterday and is scheduled to
be played all this week. The peculiar
force, or combination of forces, that
was understood in advance and drew
an audience that overflowed that house
is highly interesting. The extraordi
nary eagerness with which every last
attempt at theatrical effect was re
ceived made up an atmosphere that. If
It could be perfectly understood and
analyzed, the great problem of Au
guftin Daly's life study namely the
caprice oC the public would be solved
and we all could be millionaires In a
twinkling.
The company Is mediocre, neither
conspicuous for excellence or for. in
capacity in any direction. It docs not
hurt anybody's feelings, and It docs not
thrill anybody with especial efficiency
of any sort The Interesting element Is
the material of this strange concatena
tlon of Incongruities that the company
Is called upon to present
From that formidable hydra, the
comic supplement of this humor-ridden
century we have absorbed, perforce, a
sufficient acquaintance with the un
speakable Hooligan he of the perpet
ual drunkenness, unending kindnesses
and incessant misfortune.
Now. Hooligan. In this mess of de
formed nonsense is slightly improved,
coming out as a friend In time of need.
and worsting the policeman when the
exigencies of the story require it Tech
nically, they have taken a few shreds
of melodrama. Involving a blind girl
who Is in a "Two Orphan" pre
dicament, a viiuan or two. a
chinaman furnishing a hop Joint.
an attempted murder or two. a train
of cars, red fire, a wicked old Mother
Frochard. a railroad hero, an Irish
character woman, and a clever police
man. Through all Is woven the help of
Hooligan wno befriends everybody,
foils the villainy and exploits a mag
nificent bulldog.
Some songs and specialties are add
ed. The astounding thing Is the fact
that they plunge right Into unadul
terated melodrama, and switch within
the confines of a single line Into farce.
buffoonery, slapstick gibberish, or any
topsy-turvy eccentricity that the devil
may put Into the playsmlth's brain,
and the studience not only stands for
the innovations but drinks It all in a?
If Bernhardt were giving them "La
Tosca." or -Mczlerc were playing Mo
ll crc's "Tsrtuffc."
Hooligan becomes glued to a barrel
and loses his trousers, whilo he yells
that he will be arrested for Incandes
cent exposure. The whole house shake?
with applause. The pale blind girl
moans piteously the next instant while
a thug raise a dagger to stab her. In
rushes tho hero In time to clutch the
girl In his arms, when Hooligan shoots
the dagger In the hilt, the railroad
train disappears over a pasteboard
mountain, the dog dances a Jubilee and
the crowa sors wild with glee. One
moment the high-pitch gamut of a
melodramatic line is used to bring a
"hand ; tnc moment after, the most
unexpected grotcsquencss In no one
knows what line of specialty work will
be employed to elicit n laugh, a hls,
a thrill or approval, anything In the
wide world, so long as the feellngn are
stirred;
And people seem to like this sort of
thing. Tt Is an unbridled debauch for
the mentality. Nothing else. The action
and happenings arc framed and planned
soKly to move som kind of emotion
In the human frame and mind, whether
It be Joy. sadness, amusement, nnv
thlng. so long as It is something, and
forceful. Now if we have no taste, and
don't care what we feel, so long as we
feel something, we can get a bushel of
that kind at this show. As a conglom
erate, laughter-provoking piece of im
pudently amazing Idiocy it Is a prize.
It's not only fierce. It's bulldoggv.
