The Monta villa Improvement Icapue at lbs lat meeting discussed annexation to Portland. It wag announced at the meeting that the JudicJarv committee of the Portland Coun cil was" inclined to favor giving the ter ritory at Mount Tabor a chance to vote on annexation. H. B. Dickinson, an at torney, sold that annexation to Portland would not mean that Portland would as fume the school debt, nor would annexa tion carry with it the benefits of the l'orlland High School. That would be a matter for later consideration, although the members of the league favor incor lxjration. it was decided not to antago nize annexation. If the annexationists ar active and will push the matter and set a favorable action by the Portland Council, the league will cease the circu lation of the petition for incorporation. Jf, however, annexation should lag. the Incorporation of Montavllla will again be taken up and pushed, as it is felt that imelhlug should be done- The main ob j t Is to secure Bull Run water, and If annexation does not take place.

The entanglements arising from the question whether the ordinance granting the People Market Association the right to continue In possession of the city mar ket block was passed over the Mayor's veto, are assuming alarming proportions. Mayor Lane is positive that his disap proval of the measure was sustained by the Council, although ten members voted the other way, while only five agreed with him. In case of an ordinance that does not carry with it the granting of a franchise, a two-thirds majority of all the members is alone sufficient to in sure Its passage 6ver executive disap proval, but In case of a regular franchise. 12 votes, or three-quarters of the Council, Is necessary to override the veto. City Attorney McNary la of the opin ion that the ordinance, being merely the modification of a franchise, was passed by the Council over the veto. Mayor Lane stated yesterday that Mr. McNary admitted that when the original measure became a law It went through "the same legal process of advertising and every thing required of any franchise, but that It can be amended without any such formality. The Mayor scouts this idea, and says if It were true all that would be neces sary to secure the adoption of a bad franchise would Ik to first introduce a good one. in every "way calculated to ap peal to the people, then hax'e It "modi tied" by the insertion of a lot of vicious clauses, under the plea that it was a common ordinance and not subject to the same restrictions as a franchise. He thinks It would be establishing a danger ous precedent, and open the doors for all kinds of abuse. "It would place matters." ald he, "in about the same position as the quack doctor, who, whenever he was unable to properly diagnose a case, would give the patient some kind of medicine that would throw him Into fits. When asked why he adopted such a form of treatment he would always reply, "because 1 am h 1 on fits.' That Is Just about the way they are trying to do with this city market franchise. They are endeavoring to cre ate the impression that some kind of doctoring will turn it into a plain, ordi nary ordinance, and they are h 1 on ordinances. "If such a process were legal. It Is easy enough to see the finish of all the careful efforts that have been made to safeguard the Interests of the people In pending franchises, but I haven't the slightest apprehension on the subject." In all probability the courts will be called upon to define the issues, as neither side feels Inclined to yield a point. HAVE A SECOND CHOICE Argument for a Change In the Pri mary Law. PORTLAND. Or.. April 7. CTo the Editor.) While the subject of direct primary nominations Is before the peo ple. 1 wish to suggest that section 2S. beginning with line of the law, be so amended as to read as follows: "In all primary nominating elections In this state under the provisions of this law, the two persons having the high est ana next highest number of votes, for nomination to any office, except where the highest Is a majority of the party vote cast at said election, shall be deemed to have been nominat ed ly their political party for that of fice." This is not a great change In the wording, but a very important change in the operation of the law. As the law now stands, the nomination of a hlgh-ly-objectlonable candidate Is very like ly to result In the election of his op ponent. Many voters prefer a man of unimpeachable character, although they dislike his political p'rlnclples. rather than vote for a man whose private character may render him untrust worthy, even though his pollcv may be Ideal. As amended abo-e. all voters may choose a wcond time without going outside their party. Take solely, for the purpose of Illustration, the list of can didates for 1'nlted States Senator. Re taining on the tickets for the June election the names of the two highest as above Indicated, the supporters of the three lowest would line up in the Jure election in a manner that would always come very nearly Indicating a choice of a majority of the party. The extra expense Is a bagatelle compared with the advantages of such a change. I deem this privilege of a second choice within one's own party, as one of the most important features of the law It will do away largely wltn party bolting, as a second choice will usually satisfy In a great measure all disap pointed elements. Voters learn little of their candidates prior to nomination. If is after nominations that records are "dug up" and aired. We hear nothing but good things now. each courtinsr the friendship of his co-aspirants and their friends. Platforms all foreshadow an ideal government. After nomina tions, both political records and private character will become weighty consld eratlonis with the voter In making up his mind as to final ballot. Amended as above the section would be applicable to the office of t'nlted States Senator without an extra primary. All other offices would, of course, require another primary. w. 3. PEDDICORD.

Payne MerryzDalfi Mabel Randall WHEN the" curtain went up at the Baker Theater yesterday afternoon there was a burst of "Cherry Blossoms"; Indeed, a stageful. Instantly proving the right the burlesque company has to its name. They predisposed everybody In their favor by their briskness and animation. They took up the music and the action with a vim, and maintained the pace throughout. It is not a short show, and there is an abundance of pleasing mate rial. The background provided by the chorus and its embellishments of costume seem to enhance the merits of the other features the soloists and 'the Individual acts. PerhflDs I am risht In thinking 'that the grace and charm and gorgeotw- ness of the frisky contingent rather over powered the other bids for applause. The atmosphere of a burlesque like this is well presaged by Griffin's rousing music. Tou gather the spirit further when you read the names Miss Ncverfret and Miss Notyet. etc. When the flashing female cherries begin to frolic you are In the full-running current of the piece. This week's offering does not disappoint. Mr. Perry's song. "City of Booxe.' scored heavily. Loro and Payne made the cold chills run up one's back with their ap parently Impossible tumbling. ScheppeL Bryaon. Slatter and Putnam have voices of good enough quality to make one wish they would sing some serious composi tion. Their fun Is amusing and their an tics comical, along with their vocal har monics. A. straight song from them would be welcomed heartily. Mr, Evans gave a clever Impersonation of a country boy. Mr. Fitzgetald presented a fareo single-handed that required 37 changes of costume. He's a wonder at it. Frank Ross did fair character work as the regu lation Jew monologist. He made me laugh, In spite of the gray whiskers on some of his stuff. The electrically light ed swings again waved over the audi ence at one point, and the act was en livened by one of the girls who became nervous and screamed. The audience laughed. They laughed all the afternoon. They couldn't help It. BARBERIS' SLIDE FOR LIFE Young: Italian Came Down Elcvntor Critic at Klrc I'rlday. Achille Barberis, a young Italian who was employed In the kitchen of the Commercial Club, had one of the most remarkable escapes of the many at the fire In the Chamber of Commerce building Friday afternoon. Barberis slid down a steel cable In one of the elevator shafts and his hands were' terribly lacerated as a result When the fire broke out Barberis first thought was to escape by the ele vator, as he had been at the Commer cial Club only a few days and did not know the location of the fire ecapes. The elevator was not running. Fire was all about him and rather than be burned to death he Jumped and grabbed the well-greased cables and went to the bottom of the shaft. The fire had scorched his arms and neck before he took the leap. It will be several weeks before Barberis will be able to use his hands again. So rapid was his descent that his hands were seared as though a hot Iron had been drawn across them. FUNERAL OF H. H. HALLOCK Larc Delegation From Commercial Club Attends Olqulcs.

Master Harold Williams THE difference between tbo prcten ti ius piece of saeretrlelousncss that discredited the Umpire stage last week, and the familiar example of genuine melodrama that occupies the same the ater this week, is the difference be tween night and day. "The Fatal Wedding Is an old-timer and. It has stood the test of time. Bar ring some of its sporadic overstraining-, and Its occasional lapses Into the maudlin. It Is a mellower and a thriller plentifully gorged with action, senti ment, tears, fear,, villainy. Intrigue, Croesus-like wealth, dire poverty, babies, comedians, heroes and heroines: nd It Is also sweetened by true heart interest. It is a dramatic edifice built up by someone who knows how to lay foundations, and how to Impose the superstructure, and It is delineated by a capable company. The performance can touch the tendrils of a blase Indi vidual's emotions, and I saw It make several girls in tho audience cry last evening. Of course It's about a woman who Is accused, and who Is divorced unjustly from her husband. In des peration she steals her own children to become hungry with want A wicked woman, who has planned all the mis chief, is about to be married to the de luded former husband, -when she is shot at the altar by her paramour. The plot Is "unraveled most by the partially grown daughter, a role taken by tal ented young Miss Rose Wilbur. She holds the audience with excellent ef fect. Miss Jane Kclton uses a voice capable of expressing pathos with Im pressive skill, and her tones all ring true. She makes the heroine, Ethel Wil son, easily tho central figure "of the play. Miss Alton was uncertain In her lines, hut she made Cora quite as hard as nails, and th'at's wanted to arouse the hisses. The rest were tolerable In a lot of extremely fat parts that nearly play themselves; The piece abounds In catchy situations for a one-night stand, or an assemblage of people who can give themselves up to tho mimic verities of stage representation. The Xelcey sisters, three supple, undulat ing sprites In baby blue and lace, proved themselves to be enticing danc ers much above the average. If you want to bhed tears, laugh and -still go home pleased, put The Fatal Wed ding" at the Empire on your theater list this week; LABOR LEADERS FEAR TRAP TABLE RESOLUTION IXDOHSLN'G CERTAIN CANDIDATES.
