MONTAVIL.UA. L.EAGUJ5 BEGINS WORK.
The Montavllla Improvement League held
a meeting last jevenlns; W. J. Burden presiding-,
at which steps were taken to set
the county roads through that district
improved. President Burden explained
the object of the organization, which he
declared to be for the betterment of that
suburb, and not for any political pur
pose. Other suburbs had push club. and
Mr. Burden said that It was time that
Montavllla should be doing something. He
spoke on the bad condition ot the streets,
and announced that a petition was being
circulated asking the County Court to
Improve Hibbard street between the Base
Une road and Vlllr. avenue, and Villa
avenue between Hibbard and Castle
streets. These streets are county roads,
and the petition asks the County Court
to spend the money collected In the
:Ighborhood for their Improvement.
Messrs. Drake. Dodge. McCaslln. Aylcs
worth. McMillen and "vVillard were ap
pointed to push the circulation of the
petition. It was announced that at least
150 names of property-owners would be
needed to make the petition effective. It
was also announced that Timothy Brown
hlll, of the Multnomah Record, published
at Gresham. would issue a local paper
for Montavllla. the first number to appear
February 1. The league Is now organized
and working for general Improvements
in that suburb, and all citizens are asked
10 support its efforts.
Object to Division ov District.
Strong objection is made to the proposed
division of the Arleta school district, and
forming a new one out of portions .of
Nashville. TVoodmere and Tremont. Two
meetings have been heldjn the Interest
of this division, and a committee was ap
pointed to look into the matter. Opposi
tion to the division comes, it is reported,
from some residents in the territory It is
proposed to set off in a district by Itself,
but the main objection comes from those
who consider it wrong in public policy
to form two weak districts, where there
should be one strong one. A resident
of Arleta suggests that the people come
together and authorize the erection of a
modern 30 or 12-room schoolhouse. which
would be large enough to accommodate
the whole district for some years to come.
Tf the district be divided it would make
it Impossible to get such a building as the
needs of the people demand. At present
the school is housed In four small build
ings, each containing two rooms. Ttc
oontly an outside room was rented at
Myrtle and a teacher put In charge. It is
considered that the time is ripe for the
erection of a modern building that would
replace the temporary structures now in
use. Between 200 and 400 pupils are at
tending school in this district.
Flotd Cook Back From Auto Show.
Floyd Cook has juts returned from a
trip to Xcw York, where he attended the
great automobile show at Madison Square
Garden recently, which is said to have
been the greatest show ever held.
In speaking of his trip, Mr. Cook said:
"The New York show was the grandest
show of the kind I ever expected to see.
Everything Imaginable In the- shape of
a motor power machine was on exhibit
there, and practical demonstrations of the
capabilities of the different makes were
given for the benefit of those interested
in automoblling. Every minute details of
the construction of a car was demon
strated to prospective purchasers or deal
ers from other parts of the country. The
foreign makes attracted considerable at
tention, but do not compare with those
of our own make. Mr. Cook Is a member
of the firm of Covey & Cook, who are
rrecting a two-story garage at Fifteenth
and "Washington streets.
"Will. Build a Modern Sawmill. The
St. Johns Lumber Company, which se
cured the sites of the Cone Bros.' and

of the lumber and other material are on
the grounds now. W. C. Francis, a saw
mill man of Portland, and Daniel Brech,
of St. Johns, are at the head of the en
terprise. The company is capitalized at

ative of the company say that it will be
equipped with modern machinery, and
that It will be one of the most complete
in Portland and surroundings.

ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Jan. 29. (SpeciaL)-It
became known today that John J. (Baldy)
Ryan, turfman and former "get-rich-quick"
promoter, has secured, through
Constable John McGIllicuddy. options on
several downtown corners, with the idea
of erecting a theater which, to use his
words In a letter to McGIllicuddy "will
make the present St. Louis theaters look
like doghouses."
"I am In the theatrical business to
stay." he writes from Cincinnati. "I was
,not aware that the graft was as strong
and soft as it Is. although I suspected
that it was easy money from the way old
man Butler hung on to the Standard.

WORKS FOR DAY NURSERY
Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge AVI11 Speak
in Its Behalf.
The lecture on Day Nursery work which
is to be given today by Mrs. Ar
thur M. Dodge, is to awaken the Interest
of Portlan'd people In the projecL All so
cieties and Individuals arc welcome and
urged to attend.
The Flower Mission looks forward to es
tablishing a nursery in the North End
somewhere near the People's Institute, so
that the neighborhood idea Rnd settle
ment work will be more complete. For
example, children old enough to go to kin
dergarten could be taken to the kindergar
ten of the Institute, and the many cases
needing care which the Institute Is unable
to meet could be sent to the nursery- How
ever, the nursery is an entirely separate
organization, although It touches many
different phases of philanthropic work.
As soon as a suitable location is found
the Flower Mission will have made an
attempt to care for children whose moth
ers are forced to work and where, the
children will be taken care of for a small
sum. 5 cents a day. The value of proper
feeding, bathing and care to a growing
child can be proved by beneficial re
sults in Day Nursery children.
The lecture is free to the public and
all Interested in the welfare of children
are cordially invited.
CARTER'S FEVER IS HIGH
AVI 11 Resign After Recovery, Atkin
son Succeeding Him.
HONOLULU, Jan. 29. Governor Carter
continues to suffer from a high fever.
It is suspected that his malady is typhoid
fever. The Territory of Hawaii is now
practically without a governing head,
and will remain so until the arrival of
Secretary Atkinson, who, it is under
stood, left Chicago for Honolulu today.
It Is believed here that Mr. Carter will
never resume the duties of his office, and
that if he does not resign Immediately
after his recovery he will step out of
office In November, when Mr. Atkinson
will be old enough legally to be Gov
ernor. Liquor Gets Him Into Trouble.
R. W. Breyman drank too much liquor
and it caused him to talk obstreperously
to Policeman Jake Hoesly. who believed
the young man would receive better care
at the hands of the jailer at the police
station than by being allowed to wander
about the streets. Instead of a charge
of simple drunkenness. It Is likely that a
more serious offense may be registered
against Beyman. for when searched at
the station. 56 cents in pennies, and sev
eral nickels and other small change were
found on his person, and In view of the
fact that several penny slot machines
have been robbed in the vicinity of Third
and Yamhill streets, where he was ar
rested, It was a suspicious fact, and the
police, who claim that the young man
frequents that locality, think that ho is
the one guilty of "touching" the ma
chines and Salvation Army donation
boxes that have suffered recently.
New Rates to Eastern Washington.
H. M. Adams, assistant traffic manager
of the Great Northern, with offices at
Seattle, was In Portland yesterday on
business with the Portland office. Mr.
Adams was formerly with the O. R. &
N. here. He says the local rates estab
lished by his road between O. R. & N.
points In Eastern Washington and the
Sound will soon be published. These rates
are in conformity with the requirements
of the Washington Railway Commission.
The Great Northern formerly had no
rates in connection with the O. R. & N.
territory, but the new schedules will be
similar to the rates between Northern
Pacific stations in Eastern Washington
and the Sound.

ACCUSATION OF ATTORNEY
Declares Conspiracy AVas Formed to
Arrest His 'Client and Then
Giving Ball for Him Get
Man Out of Town.
That headquarters Detective Joe Day
has been searching for Captain H. W.
Drohn for the purpose of arresting him,
securing his release on ball and then
shipping him out of Portland In order
to "hush up" the charge of larceny by
bailee against Mrs. Laura Gassage.
alias Williams, was the statement made
by Attorney H. C King to Municipal
Judge Cameron In open court yester
day morning. Day gave out a statement
Sunday that Drohn had left the city
and could not be found, but In truth,
the old man was here In charge of At
torney King and other friends.
King declared to Judge Cameron
that a plot existed to Imprison Drohn,
have some one furnish ball and then
ship him away and see that he did not
appear here to prosecute the woman
now charged with robbing him of
$4300. In tho alleged plot, Joe Day fig
ured prominently. Attorney King de
clared, he being the person selected to
arrest the aged captain and place him
in jail, and others stood willing to do
the rest, declared King.
Speaking for tho defense. Attorney
John F. Watts, ridiculed the statements
of Mr. King, and said they were made
without foundation In facL He at first
asked for a continuance of the case,
but later consented to the taking- of
the testimony of the complaining wit
ness, which was done. The remainder
of the story will be told Thursday.
Captain Drohn was In a very nervous
condition, his hands shaking violently
and his lips at' times quivering so that
he scarcely could talk to make himself
understood. For three months, declared
Attorney Kipg, who represents the
aged man as private prosecutor with
Deputy District Attorney Brand, the
Gassage woman and a male companion
had plied Drohn with liquor until now
lie is on the verge of delirium tremens.
During this time, $(300 belonging to
him has gone.
Drohn swore that he met the Gassage
woman in n Seattle restaurant, and
that he had been with her a great deal
since. That was last November. He
said they came to Portland, then went
to San Francisco and later returned
here. He said he had spent considerable
money on the woman, and when she
asked him to give her money with
which to buy a hotel, he wrote out a
check on Dexter. Horton & Co.'s bank,
of Seattle, or SHOO. He was to be a
third owner of the hotel, and In case
no hotel was bought, the entire SHOD
was to be returned, he swore.
Captain Drohn was particularly In
censed over the treatment he said was
given him by the Gassage woman when
he asked her to return to him the 5110J.
"1 nskod her to return the money,"
said Drohn. "and she slapped me on
the Jaw. That occurred in the Fair
mont Hotel, and she was drunk at the
time."
On another occasion, after Drohn
had caused the warrant for the arrest
of the woman. Dro'nn saw her enter a
saloon opposite the Fairmont Hotol.
and he went In and spoke to her. His
object was to have her arrested.
"I want my money," said Drohn to
the woman.
"I don't know you." she replied, and
sought to evade him.
"I'll make you know he," he retorted,
and called In Policemen Burke and Gal
bralth to make the arrest.
"I asked the woman who loaned her
those diamonds she wore," said Drohn,
"and who bought the coat she wore.
She denied knowing me."
Attorney Watts, for the defense, then
stated to Judge Cameron that the
woman to whom Drohn referred was
not tho one complained of by Drohn In
this case, but that Drohn was mistaken
and the woman who claimed not to
know him was telling the truth. Watts
said he would call the policemen to
prove this later In the hearing:.
After the taking of Drohn's testi
mony, the matter of ball for Drohn
came up. and Attorney King said he
would stand personally responsible for
his appearance at the appointed time,
"unless this gang that surrounds him
throws htm In the river or shang
hais him." Judge Cameron had orig
inally fixed bail at cash, which
was not given, and Drohn was at lib
erty without the fulfillment of tho
court's orders from Saturday until
yesterday.
Drohn Is a well-known man. espe
cially on Puget Sound and in Alaska.
He was superintendent of Govern
ment works, as captain of the post, at
SL Michael.
"What's your name?" asked Judge
Cameron of a man charged with" being-
a vagranL
"S. S. Gum." he replied.
"Thirty days for you. because you
were given a chance last week to
leave town and failed..' said Judge
Cameron.
"Gum wllj stick for SO days," re
marked Clerk Henhesey.
C. M. Rush was sent to jail for 10
days for roaming the streets at un
seemly hours of the nlghL He was ar
rested by Patrolman Ehmsou. who
found him hiding In the hallway of
the Knickerbocker House.
Patrolman Gittings found the Staf
ford Cafe, Thirteenth and Washing
ton streets, open after 1 o'clock yes
terday morning-, and upon gaining ad
mission, found Proprietor- C A. Smith,
Mrs. Smith and another woman there.
The women were In hiding on a
staircase, but were found by the offi
cer during his investigation of the
place. The case will be tried this
morning.
BIng Gee, alias Ah Wah. was fined
525 for operating- a lottery Joint at 345
Gllsan street. He was arrested by Pa
trolman E. Burke, who was recently
removed from the regular Chinatown
beat because he was too active in
making arrests.
G. S- Brown, living at Twenty-first
and TIbbets streets, came near los
ing his housekeeper last week, when
Frances Foss. daughter of the house
keeper, stampeded the place and de
manded to have an Interview with her
mother, Mrs. Anna Darrow.
Brown was as determined In his
ideas as was the young woman who
demanded admission to his house, and
a fight ensued. Mrs. Foss used an um
brella, and Brown used anything he
could get hold of. Both were battle
scarred after the fight, and some of
the wounds were exhibited to J.udge
Cameron when the case came ori for
hearing yesterday. Mrs. Foss, who at
tracted much attention from the police
men and spectators because of her
beauty, showed one bruise on her arm.
and said she was hit elsewhere by
Brown. Judge Cameron took her
statement for this, and peats-oaed the
case until this moral nr. at which
MNTM
N
time Mrs. Darrow will be present to
tell her side of the case.
While on the witness stand. Mrs.
Foss said that Brown was "no good."
and she did not want her mother with
him.

VAUDEA1LLE Is a sermon on the
mount of frivolity.
I took a trip around the thcatcrsghren
to this form of cntertalnmentryesterday
Pantages. the Grand and the, Star, and
delved into the kaleidoscopic factors that
serve to interest th'e people as they
run. Vaudeville In this town is endeavt
oring to fill a'. long-felt want Entrance
fee a trifle that even a gamin can mus
ter, and within the limits of the stingiest
skinflint's conception of a treat, certainly
It appeals to a wide range of humanity.
In this category also are the various mul
titude that floats through the city for an
hour or a day. the brain worker who
wants a few moments' relaxation and
who knows that he may leave the show
at any time, the clerk or the mechanic
who takes his friend, his relative, his
wife, some other wife, the youngsters
out for a stroll, the vast city population
whose possibilities may bo awakened to
show visiting by enticing announcements
regarding wonderful, skillful, artistic cx
hlbtlons of essentially a momentary char
acter. Oh, they have managed vaudeville well.
It is today almost the rule that any act
Is bad that is not deservedly classed as a
star act. And while it is true that a
dreary series of exceptions bring tears
to memory's eyes, the history of local
vaudeville in Portland displays the rec
ord of many brilliant, thrilling and in
structive numbers. The tide of the qual
ity runs higher or lower as time glides
on. but it must be said that those who
furnish forth this manner of amusement
arc careful, painstaking and successfully
resourceful In their efforts to supply what
the public seems to desire.
This vaudeville that we love and detest
by turns and fits and moods, and stick
to nevertheless, is not an unmixed bless
ing, and yet It has Its fine and bervsficial
uses. High-class vaudeville admits of
nearly everything admissible on the stage.
It is like the newspaper that prints all
the news that's fit to print, which gen
erally manifests a preference for things
unfit. The vaudeville houses in our
midst are singularly free from objection
able features In their bills. Their pat
ronage Is of the kind that Proctor caters
especially to In New York the people
who will desert a place that permits ob
scenity or swearing. Thus we find our
local habitations of the upper vaudeville
strata more surely purged than a more
pretentious thespian temple where Ib
sen's "Ghosts" might regale a more
gingery audience. The women and the
children, and the ladies alone, the girls,
and hoi polio!, mingle here on equal
terms, and enjoy It all. It harbors the
waning star; It rewards the clever In
any line; it prevents 'the legitimate house
from making fortunes: It keeps Sullivan
& Considlne busy buying theaters: and
it surely brightens everybody up per
haps once a week. It Is noticeable that
whenever the bills arc good at the vaude
ville theaters the attendance Is large at
each of the leading ones even large
enough on most nights to overflow their
capacities.
The present week each house has a bill
worth seeing considering the price. Ten
cents is the advertised admission, but
you know it takes- twice that amount to
get a fair seaL Tou ought to remember
that when you decide what entertainment
you select and compare prices. There
should be no mistake in this matter.
Vaudeville houses receive much unjusti
fied trade by emphasizing the 10-cent
Ideas. When It costs 20 cents for a scat
that Is the real price. The other theaters
on the same basis should advertise their
standing-room prices as the regular
schedule. In so far as they don't do
that they arc honest. And honest dealing
la what we are calling attention to.
Glance with me at a feature or so of
some of the vaudeville houses this week.
At Pantages you will sec the "Widow
Carter." demure and enticing, with a
splendid stare and a way about her that
makes 'a hit as the stroke of a clock.
Does anyone here remember lovely Kate
Castleton when she set the clubmen
crazy In the old Bush-street theater In
San Francisco years ago by her Imper
sonation of the. innocent Quaker maid
who sang "But for Goodness Sake Don't
Say I Told You"? The Widow Carter at
Pantages is of the same stripe. Captain
Holtum. who catches cannon balls from
the gun's mouth. Is a wonder as to skill
and strength.
Leo White at Pantages. Harold Hoff
at the Grand, and W. H. Hartford, at the
Star, who contribute illustrated songs,
help In one of the most agreeable feat
ures. Portland loves music, and Is not
beyond the heartiness of honest senti
ment. These Illustrated songs make my
heart swell, and ache, and, I am glad
to say, have brought tears to my eyes.
I congratulate the managers who have
at last employed acceptable singers to
fill these important niches in the pro
grammes. .
The most notable among the Grand's
outfit Is the cycle riding of Tlnkham &
Co. The whiz and daring of their per
formance almost makes one's hair
stand up and curl. Ralph Cum
mlngs. a veteran actor of uncommon
ability, gives a farcical hit with his
company, which is featured, not with
sufficient reason. I should say. He Is a
pleasing personality, with a fine pres
ence and graceful mien, but his verJcle
is rather crude in construction and uncer
tain In its effects.
The Star has a fine acrobatic act (Mar
tlnettl Trio) and a sketch. "The Burg
lar's KlL" by Gibson and Gibson, that
holds the attention closely. These for
topliners and not a disappointing sup
plementary HsL A. H. BALLARD.

ESCORT OF INSANE
Plan Adopted in Oregon Works
Very Satisfactory.
SAVING OF 30 PER CENT
Sheriffs In This State Fought Against
Loss of Perquisites, Just as
the AA'ashlngton Officers
.Are Doing Now.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. (Special.) The
fight now being made by Sheriffs In the
State of Washington against the plan of
having Insane patients taken to the asy
lum by trained attendants is much the
same as the fight made In this state for
many years. Since the new system was
adopted there has been little complaint
and all Is apparently working smoothly.
According to dispatches to the Seattle
Times, the Sheriffs' Association, at Its
recent session at Tacoma. denounced
Governor Mead's transportation scheme
as Impracticable and an Injustice to pris
oners and" officers. The association also
declared the new method of transporta
tion more expensive than the old. If
that be true. Washington's experience is
radically different from that of the State
of Oregon.
The Oregon law does not provide, as
docs that of the State of Washington,
for the transportation of both convicts
and insane perrons In the custody of
guards sent out for that purpose. In this
state convicts are still brought to the
prison by Sheriffs, but when commitments
are made to the asylum the patients are
held until the arrival of an attendant
from the asylum. As soon as a commit
ment Is made, the county authorities tel
egraph the asylum officials and a trained
attendant leaves Immediately to get the
patient.
The observation of the asylum authori
ties "is that patients arrive at the institu
tion in better condition now than they
did under the old system, though this is
not universally true. In a few exceptional
cases It Is admitted that it would perhaps
be better to have Sheriffs leave Immedi
ately with the patients Instead of wait
ing for an attendant, but In the large
majority of Instances the new system
gives the best satisfaction. Trained at
tendants understand how to manage and
care for patients while traveling, better
than do the Sheriffs.
There may be a few exceptions to this
rule. also, for where a Sheriff Is cool
headed and careful and has been In office
long enough to learn how to manage In
sane persons, he can often bring patients
to the asylum Is as good condition as an
attendant could. But the term of office
of a Sheriff is only two years, and unless
he handles many patients, the Sheriff does
not become skilled until about the time
his term expires. In sending out men
or women to bring patients to the asy
lum, the authorities detail the most re
liable and experienced attendants for the
work.
How much of a saving is effected under
the new system in Oregon it Is impossi
ble to state exactly. A number of addi
tional attendants are required, but thcy
have merely been added to the general
force and when not away for the purpose
of bringing in patients, they are em
ployed about the Institution. As near as
can be estimated by a comparison, there
Is a saving of about 30 per cent under the
new system.
