In Serious Condition. Jesse Alderson.
the 12-year-old son of Professor W. C
Alderson, principal of the St. Johns
school. Is in a serious condition from the
effects of the terrible scalding he received
two weeks ago. A kettle of boiling water
was accidentally upset on him from the
waist downward, so that the cuticle of his
legs was burned off. At first there was
some improvement, and it was thought
that the boy would recover, but last eve
ning he was not so well and was very
weak. He is being cared for at the home
of his parents at St. Johns, and every
thing is being done for him that medical
skill can suggest. It may be that skin
grafting will be necessary in order to re
store him.

MILITIA ATHLETES MEET
FINE PROGRAMME GIVEN BY
OREGON NATIONAL GUARD.
Crowds at the Armory Sec Company
F Carry Off the Honors of
the Evening.
Nearly S00 persons assembled at the Ar
mory last evening to watch the soldier
lads of the Oregon National Guard at
their field and track events, and they were
rewarded by seeing one of the most oxclt
ing meets of the series.
Company F carried off the honors of
the evening by figuring in almost every
event of the programme. The athletes of
that organization took a large majority of
firsts and were represented in the places
as well.
The first event on the card was the 50
yard dash, which was won by Matthews,
of Company H. who was clearly the class
in the event, although a member of hl3
own company was a close second.
The numbers that attracted the greatest
amount of interest on the part of the
large attendance was the wall-scaling,
tent-pitching and tug-of-war contests on
the part of the soldiers, especially the
first-named event, which was watched
with more than passing interest by many
of the spectators who had never seen an
event of the kind before. The nimble
manner in which a team of eight men is
hustled over the 12-foot wall was truly a
revelation to them, for Company H, the
winning team, scaled the obstacles in the
remarkable time of IS 1-5 seconds. In this
contest the participants are armed and
accoutred the same as If In a campaign,
and the knowledge learned by the militia
men in these feats may stand them In
good stead in event of war. for the scaling
of barriers of this sort Is of frequent oc
currence along the route of a campaign.
Unfortunately for Company V In this
event, its team met with a serious re
versal almost as soon as it had started,
for while forming the pyramid In mount
ing the wall a member of the team be
came overbalanced and fell to the floor,
carrying several others with him. which
resulted In a delay of several seconds and
probablj cost them the event.
Company F also won the tent-pitching
contest, for Its team succeeded In rais
ing the wall tent In the fast time of 34
seconds. Again In the relay race Com
pany F came to the fore and beat the
team representing Company H by two
fifths of a second, their respective times
being: Company F, 1:02; Company H.
1:02 2-5.
This company then made a clean sweep
of the team events by ending the pro
gramme with a victorj' over the First
Battery team In the tug-of-war contest
Prhate VIgellus. of Company F. took
first place in both the 440-yard run and
the high Jump, while Corporal Wetter
borg. of F. was second In the first-named
event and Mcintosh, of H, secured the
place in the Jumps.
Sergeant Duncan, of Company H. carried
off the honors in the novel military event
known as the bayonet race, and Private
Parks, of Company F. was second. The
time given in this event was 47 2-3 sec
onds. The half-mile walk resulted in no con
test, for all the competitors failed to ad
here to regulations by breaking several
times before the finish.
The next monthly meeting of the militia
men will be held about April 10.
Last evening's programme was enlivened
by the presence of the Third Infantry
Band, which discoursed music throughout

NO wonder New York grew enthusi
astic over "Little Johnny Jones," and
stayed so for a season.
It is George M. Cohan's best piece of
work, and it was produced last evening
at the Marquam in excellent style. It
contains all the elements that reach the
fancy and touch the artistic sense of the
up-to-the-minute person of the world, and
the road production is beautiful. Such
a work tends to lengthen the sway of
musical comedy. It has a story. It has
situations. It has cohesion. It has gen
uine humor. There is always an intelli
gent excuse for the songs and other
musical numbers. The music, (although
much Is reminiscent of other men's
works, and some actually stolen bodily)
is In the main catchy and melodious. It
Is not musical comedy gone to seed, hurl
ing forth a wild lot of freakish balder
dash and monstrosities cloaked in musi
cal sound. It Is a comic opera with many
of the best factors of musical comedy
added. The company appearing at the
Marquam grips the things firmly, and car
ries it off with a whiz and a bang. There
is not a hitch In the performance. It
runs as smoothly as a ship slides off the
ways when they are well greased. There
are no exceptionally talented artists in
the cast, with perhaps the exception of
Tom Lewis, who plays "The Unknown"
(In reality a detective) who Is a remark
able example of the power of quiet mag
netism. He Is given some of the best
lines and pretends to be half keyed up
all the time; but utters his sledge-hammer
remarks with a calm physical force of
humor that convulses his auditors to the
bursting point There la a world of sense
and appropriate feeling In which all men
of troubled experience sympathize, when
Lewis nonchalantly drops the hint "If
you sec the King of England strolling
around here Just tell him I'm satisfied
with life." That character Is a. sermon.
It means that personal force and acts are
more important than talking. "Little
Johnny Jones." the jockey, is taken by
Bobby Barry, who is clever In his Imita
tion of Cohan himself. Miss Tracey Is
chic and deft and Intelligent and she lias
a sweet light voice, which she uses
abominably. There Is no excuse what
ever fort her shunting off the air and
emitting nasal tones and spoiling a most
enticing impersonation. She ought to be
spanked. She knows better. The princi
pals were competent and acceptable, but
the humor of the thing, the elaborate
marching, dancing, ensemble effects, solos
and choruses, the almost bewildering
succession of Interweaving, ever-changing,
multi-colored, gorgeously costumed,
swarming hoardes of supernumeraries did
quite as much as the chief characters to
make the production thrlUIngly lovoly and
memorable.
To sit and listen to humor which pleases
and still does not sting: to gaze on a
series of stage pictures that arc Indeed
Elysian: to listen to the notes of trained
voices as they chant the tricks and
quickening cadences of latest musical
comicalities; to watch the accomplish
ments of a splendid collection of selected
artists in their line, was a distinct Joy.
If this sort of thing could rule the day
In musical comedy then I would want the
vogue to last longer than It seems des
tined to do. Lewis said, "Don't start
anything you can't finish." and I will not
begin to describe this piece of Cohan's
In words of praise, for I would never end.
except at intervals to laugh at the many
funny hits. I can only advise everybody
to go and see it A. IL BALLARD.
EXPLAINS WALSH'S CASE
Chlcagb Banker Says Charges Arc
Based on Technicality.
A banker of Chicago has wrltton the
following letter to a friend In Portland
explaining the circumstances connected
with the arrest of John R. Walsh, presi
dent of the Chicago National Bank:
"The proceeding instituted against John
R. Walsh yesterday Is founded on the
charge that he signed a false report to
the Controller of the Currency and there
by violated a Federal statute. Owing to
the temporary absence of the cashier, he
signed this report which is true In every
respect and in exact accordance with tho
books. It is the only report signed by
him since he became president of 'the
bank. 24 years ago. The report in ques
tion was made up by the auditor of the
bank In the same manner in which all
previous reports were made.
"The point In the complaint Is that the
statement did. not show the full liability
of directors of the hank: this is a mere
technicality, in that it is based on a claim
that the directors arc liable on paper
which they neither signed nor indorsed,
and on this the whole case rests.
The charge of misapplication of funds,
made in the complaint, is based upon tho
fact that the bank made loans on bonds
of companies In which Mr. Walsh was in
terested: if a loss should occur on these
loans, the bank act provides that the di
rectors shall be responsible in damages,
and It therefore seems grossly unfair that
any such allegation should be made the
basis of a. criminal prosecution. Tho
loans are good and will probably be paid
during this month. Any intimation that a
single dollar was misappropriated by Mr.
Walsh, or any one else connected with
the bank, is absolutely false."
RUNAWAY AT UNION DEPOT
Horses Stopped by Iron Gate, Avert
ing; Serious Accident.
A runaway of the Portland Hotel bus at
4:30 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, near the
Union Depot caused considerable excite
ment and would have resulted In an acci
dent if it had occurred two minutes soon
er. Just before the arrival of a crowded
train the horses became frightened and
ran through the archway leading from
the platform.
.The horses were only stopped by a larg
iron gate, which prevented them running
amuck In the crowd. Policeman Tichnor
got many persons out of danger and ex
tricated the frightened horses from the
gate.

MAKING TESTS OP ALFALFA
Suitability of "Western Oregon for
Growth to Be Ascertained.
Experimental five-acre tracts for al
falfa tests have been secured at different
points in the "Willamette Valley by the
Hani man lines, with the purpose of
planting alfalfa and studying the condi
tions most favorable to its growth In
order to learn whether the plant can be
Buccespfully grown In Western Oregon.

barns and repair shops of the Portland

ment will cost about J15aYX

the site of the extension to tho Savlcr
street barnp will be moved Into a new
foundry building to be erected on Thur
man street cast of the present brick
barns. It will be fitted up with new
