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.

whole road, and traveling from 25 to
40 miles an hour.

MAY MEAN WHIPPING POST
HARRY FEHD IS HELD FOR
WIFK BEATING.
Brutal Assault Lands Him in Police
Station His Wife Will Prose
cute Despite Entreaties.
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.

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.

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

It Is probable that the marines and sail

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

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.

Buck and his deputy. Will Harris, walked
out on the diamond here today, armed
with warrants Issued on behalf of the
