Efforts are making to get Mount Tabor School District No. 5 annexed to the Portland district, and the question Is ex- pected to be settled at the school election In June, although there is some effort to keep the annexation question oft the bal lot at that time. The boundary commit tee, composed of County School Super intendent Robinson and the County Court, have recommended that the district be annexed in regular form at the June election. It Is the opinion of County Clerk Fields that. If annexation of the rest of Mount Tabor and Montavllla car ries, and he thinks it will, the port land Board of Education can then take over the district without any action. If it feel disposed to do so. In the district there are three buildings and lo teacners, an enrollment of 660 pupils and an attend ance of 630 pupils. The school pppulation Is considerably above TOO. The district has a bonded indebtedness of J16.500. Montavllla district, which will also be brought In If annexation carries, has 10 teachers. 10 class rooms and an enroll nient of more than 400 pupils. It hag a bonded Indebtedness of $8000. Hi Found Ot'T a Few Things. Dr. C. H. Raffety, who is a member of the wa ter Committee, makes a practice of find ing out conditions and wants of the sub urbs, by traveling about incognito. While on one of nig pilgrimages last Monaay night he dropped In at a meeting of the Mount Tabor Board of Trade, which con vened in Woodmen of the World Hall He was not recognised In the early part of the evening, which was devoted to dis cussion of the water situation, and the proceedings of the Portland Water Com mittee was handled somewhat rreely, all f which Tr Rafretv took in. After the discussion had proceeded for some time he was identified by some member, much 1o the amazement of the others, and was then called on for remarks, to which he responded. He gave the local board some valuable Information; which the members were looking for. Finishing Band Hai.l.-The Milwaukle Krass Band Is finishing Its new hall. Half a dozen members of the band are . worklna almost constantly on the build ing. On the inside the arrangements of the old halKhave been entirely changed, A gallery has been placed over the south entrance, supported by Iron rods from the ceiling. At the north end a stage has been built. A double floor has been laid for dancing purposes. EUtric lights from Richard Scott's farm will furnish the illumination. The entire cost of ground, moving' building to ground and refitting will aggregate about $00. An opening concert is planned by the band as soon as the building is completed. Books Ari in Dbmano. The new branch library, established at Highland 10 days ago. is proving a great success and the books are In great demand. J. K. Spier first conceived the idea that a branch, library would be a good thing in that neighborhood and he made arrange ments for a case of books from the Port land librarv which be placed In his of fice, with the result that the demand for books exhausted the supply within a few days. He got more books and bought some magazines, and these also went quickly. Mr. Spier isnow asking that the neighbors assist in collecting . maga zlnes for this suburban library station. SuNNYSiftE Parents' Mektino. Under the auspices of the Sunnyside Home Training Circle this evening a genera parents' meeting will take place In the assembly hall of the Sunnyside School.

Henry I.arsen, who lives on the Base IIne rood, between Mount Tabor and Sunnyside, complains about the terrinc speed of auto mobiles both going eastward and return ing to Portland. They travel at a mod erate speed until outside the city limits, and then, he says, they race each other sometimes side by side, taking up the whole road, and traveling from 25 to 40 miles an hour.

If he receives the penalty prescribed, which confronts him, one San Francisco refugee, Harry Fend by name, would have fared better had he remained in Ihe city of his nativity. He Is locked up In the city jail and today he will go before Judge Cameron to show cause why he should not be remanded to the hig-her court for a turn at the whipping post. Fehd and his wife have been residing in a lodging house at 5124 Savier street since their arrival In the city. Fehd has had employment with a local implement firm. Yesterday morning a , hurry call was sent into the police station from the lodging house and Officers Keller and Alder responded. Mrs. Fehd had barred her door and the policemen were forced to break in to secure admittance. The room was dark, but the officers say even without light the woman's face looked like pulp. The bed was found smeared with blood and nearby was. a quart catsup bottle, with which Fehd had beaten his wife. The wlfebeater himself had made away, but the patrolmen caught him several hours later, when he came back to gather his belongings and make a final depart ure. The combative pair was taken to the station and Fehd locked up on a charge of assault and battery, while his wife was given into the hands of a physi cian for attendance, and detained as a witness, The police say the affair was thorough ly brutal and inhuman. It also had its humorous side. On the way to the sta- Intelllgeot Act of a Dog. An Incident happened at Milwau kle Saturday which tends to prove that even a dog can think, or has some degree of Intelligence. There are some people camped In a tent nar whert the cars enter Mllwau ki at the car-barn, and there Is a little child Just able to run about, but not old enough to se danger. The little one was playing a short distance from the car track with a dog, a llttla while animal. They were having a good time and were enjoying themselves. Suddenly the child took a notion to run toward the car track as a car was pulling across th bridge into Milwaukle. It ran a short dis tance, when the mother saw her child and started after it. but the dog, too, saw that his, playmate was In danger, and. dashing quickly for ward, grabbed the child by the back of her frock and pulled her back on the ground from the car track. tion Policeman Keller gently reminded Fehd of the penalty prescribed in this state for the crime of which he was guilty. The ex-San Franciscan paled and narrowly escaped a fainting fit. His bet ter Judgment then came to his rescue and he pleaded with his wife not to have him arrested. She. however, does not seem at all inclined to decline preferring a charge against her spouse and will prob ably lend her best efforts to giving Fehd the limit for his crime. Mrs. Fehd says this is not the first time she has had to endure bodily vio lence from her husband. WHEREJTO DINE.

Charles Giles THERE la so much of "The Little Minister," as - put forward by the Baker stock company this week, that digesting it all at a single sitting Is not easy. The dramatization used is announced as prepared by J. A. Frazer. He must have breathed hard when he got through. There are eight separate seta of scenery, four acts, including nine scenes an enor mous production. The scenery is new, lavish, and covers a wide range. The regular company Is augmented by a copious addition of sup ernumeraries required for the mob scene before the police court, the weavers and rloutous people of Thrums, and the gypsy camp In the last act.. To make sure of smoothly putting on so ponderous a melo drama as this proves to be In its present shape would ordinarily be alloted about six weeks' rehearsal. The lack of hitches. the swift and well-oiled precision of yes terday's performance (I attended the opening one in the afternoon), were amazing to me, as the reBult of one week's rehearsal. I did not notice that a cut was missed by individuals or by ensembles or that there was much prompting. The" changes of heavy scenic paraphernalia must have oeen maae witn a scuddin? and at a pace that caused things to hum back of the curtain. To run that piece through in two hours ana a half, as they did. was to me a wonder. TO sav that the public (standing room was at a premium yesterday) gets Its money's worth in this production Is to state the fact mildly. The incidental music was a particularly enjoyable fea ture. Now, as to the version used. It Includes In outline, the lovely story or iiaDOie ana the love she developed for Gavin (the "Leetle Meenster") that was adored by the whole . world In Barrie's book and made even dearer by Maude Adams when she portrayed to theater-goers the part as written by Barrie himself. The Baker patrons have also seen this same play In this same theater. The present version is greater In quantity than Barrie's and more frankly theatric. It is equivalent to seeing a new play for those who have witnessed the other version. It lacks wholly the' poetic charm of Barrie's In comparable atmosphere, and the utter predomination of the bewitching Babbie in the play we knew has been usurped by an elaborate interjection of avowed at tempts at stage situation, accentuated and embellished by a constant endeavor toward reaching climaxes ot a stagy character. The result is good and bad mixed to gether. The Interpolated lines that catch or pollol are commonplaTce for the most part and mar the tone of the original story instead of enhancing Its Impressiveness. The only suggestion of that fascinating. fervent lilt of heavenly tenderness that we remembered. Is the immortal strain of the Babbie waltz music. But the situ ations are boldly made stronger and a straight melodrama is made out of the material at hand. In fact, there Is ma terial enough for three or four plays in this production. The gem of the performance, which stands out In sweetness above all else, is the scene between Edgar Baume, as the Little Minister, and Miss Lawrence as Lady Babbie, at the close of the third act. when the plot Is sufficiently devel oped and our sympathy is enlisted so that we can enter fervently into the exquisite bit of delicate love-making brought about hy the mystical spells of the "Egyptian.'1 Here are brought into well-defined con trast the beauty of Miss Lawrence and her witcheries and light graces, and the earnest, compelling ardor that Is budding In Mr. Baume's breast. That and the opening scene of the next act. where the same couple meet at the well and she compels him to draw water for her, were drawn with the sure hand of competent artists. Mr. Bolles also had a scene with Miss Lawrence In the balllle's court room, wherein she escapes from her imprison ment, which the participants portrayed deftly and with Immensely gratifying ef fect to the engrossed audience. Mrs. Byers reached the only emotional moment that I felt when she gave us the woes of dear, old Nannie Webster, who was about to be sent to the poorhouse, which is to say that she displayed more natural temperament In her acting than anyone else In the play, unless it was the force ful character work of John Saninpolis in his delineation of that drunkard and ruf fian. Bob Dow. Messrs. Russell, Esmel ton and MacAulifTe provided appropriate local color in their careful study of the three hard elders. Mr. Byers made a real, fiesh-and-blood. breathing and liv ing, character of the lonely, comical po liceman: and Mr. Dills put the requisite adamant Into the Sheriff. The weavers should put their coats on when entering the kirk. No Scotchman was ever known to go to church In his shirtsleeves. The play runs throughout the week, and ftom its varied interest and spec tacular nature, it should draw a very large attendance. ROD AND GUN CLUB SHOOT Scores Are Cut Down Somewhat by Inclement Weather. Owing to, the inclement weather, the shooting party at the Irvlngton traps yes terday was not very large, but neverthe less the gunners who did participate suc ceeded In making some excellent scores. The wind and rain caused a somewhat lower average among the wtngshots than usual. Wagner carried off the honors by the high score mark of the day of S3 breaks out of the hundred. Winters. Howe. Abrahams and Carlon were close up. with only a few points difference in their averages. The dinner shoot between two picked teams was won by teh bunch selected by Dick Carlon. which defeated Will Lip- man's team by four birds out of 75 shot at. The Dupont Powder Company has pre sented the Multnomah Rod & Gun Club with a handsome cup, which wll be shot for next Sunday, and all the members of the club are expected to be on hand to compete for this trophy, which Is well worth contesting for under the conditions Imposed by the club. Mrs. Toung was the only woman par ticipating In yesterday's shoot, and ber average was not up to her usual ability on acount of the weather. The scores follow: Shot at. Broke. P.C.

Wright Barbara Hare Dorothy Fairfax Cornelia Carlyle Marie Collins Joice Lillian Lawton Little William Hajel Myrl Lady Isabel Cora King Swain Madame Vina Cora King Swain MOANFUL distress and lahrymose sentiment of the .never-encSng, old style, dyed-in-the-wool, emotional drama, "East Lynne," brought a season lasting 3S weeks and a day to. a successful close at the Empire Theater last night. The Mark Swain Company, with Cora King Swain featured, and the sterling young actor, C. B. Inslee, as leading man, presented a forceful, if not entirely ar tistic, performance of the time-tried piece that has extracted tons after tons of tears from the civilized multitude. The theater was full of people, who entered eagerly into the sadnesses of the direful situations, who hissed the vil lainous "Sir Francis Levison." who cried with Lady Isabel, who chuckled at the comedy Introduced by the old man ser vant, and who shuddered at the dark, reverberating passages from maudlin souls that weigh down this drama of sor row. "Bast Lynne" will probably al ways draw a "house." when nothing else will. It is like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" among theatrical attractions, so far as being perennial in its draught anywhere, everywhere, English is spoken and hu man hearts beat. Miss Swain Is an ear nest stage worker, if she ia somewhat throaty and self-conscious. Mr. Inslee is always strong In whatever role he essays, and last evening he maintained his usual standard. Miss Dorothy Fairfax, who has gained some popularity while she has been here with this company during the last three weeks, elicited sympathy as a sweet "Barbara Hare." The other parts were acceptably taken. The Empire has had a continuously prosperous career this year, having been occupied uninterruptedly for the whole season of 38 weeks without a dark spell, and without a single unprofitable engage ment. This Is a record-breaker in the theatrical line In Portland, and the man ager, Milton W. Seaman, is being offered congratulations generally. Frankle Richter played a piano solo. His plaving all through the season has been a feature of every performance. WILIi SAIL- THIS MOR.MNG FOR PORTLAND. Marines and Sailors May Take Fart in the "Made In Ore gon" Parade.. It Is probable that the marines and sail ors of the Pacific squadron will take part in the Industrial parade of the "Made in Oregon"' Exposition, which will be given next Friday afternoon. Senator Fulton yesterday wired Secretary D. C. Freeman, of the "Made In Oregon" Exposition, that the Pacific squadron, under the com mand of Admiral Goodrich, would sail from San Francisco this morning, which uld bring It to Portland either Wednes day night or Thursday morning. It Is not believed that any difficulty will be experienced In making arrangements for the marines and sailors to participate in the parade. The squadron comprises the Chicago, Marblehead, Princeton, Boston, Perry, Paul Jones and Saturn. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION Several Positions to Be Filled by Those Who Pass Tests.

H. today, there will be an examination for draughtsmen in the civil engineering service, and next Friday morning another examination for chain men in the same department will be held.

Yesterday afternoon, in the T. M. C. A. auditorium, a novel and interesting enter tainment was given by the Kaffir boys' choir, under the management of J. H. Balmer, of London, England. These boys were gathered by Mr. Bal mer during his travels In Africa. They come from widely separated sections of the dark continent, and under Mr. Bal mer's direction they have developed an ability in singing and recitation which ia highly commendable and pleasing. The programme Included concert sing ing and recitations In the native African tongue, clever dancing, and also selec tions in English. A large crowd greeted the Kaffir boys and enthusiastically ap plauded their performance. Mr. Balmer has presented his queer troupe to audiences from Cape Town. to the Pacific. FANS MOB CONSTABLES Prevent Arrest of Teams for Playing on Sunday. SHELBY O.. May 20. When Constable Buck and his deputy.

The officers escaped under police protection. Justice Sattey, who issued the warrants, was sitting in a buggy in the grounds, and the vehicle was surrounde'd and the wheels removed by the crowd, which, however, offered no violence to the Jus tice. The ballplayers had been previously fined by Mayor Skites an aggregate of 3100 for violation of the Sunday laws. RARE CHANCE TO TRAVEL. Very Low, Long-Time, Round-Trip Tickets East Yia O. R. X.
