Marshall, a cripple and San Francisco refugee, urged that his only way to gain a livelihood was to sell shoestrings upon the streets. It was with reluctance that the committee granieu permit, and Marshall was toiu iui BMt4 . . .. aryA wmlM not be renewed.

Among the several insurance corpora tions commonly known as "earthquake companies, from the fact that their pol icies contain earthquake clauses, there are five, at least, that have decided to waive the clause so far as claiming exemption thereunder and are now engaged in pay ing losses. These companies are the German-American, German-Alliance, Phoenix of Hart ford, New Hampshire and Pr9tector Un derwriters. Their policies contain a clause purporting to exempt them from liability "for damage by earthquake." It is not much of an earthquake clause; in fact, it could not reasonably be expected to re lease the companies from liability in the great conflagration; but for all that It was common talk at one time that the five companies named would Join forces with their brethren having other earth quake clauses in their policies and at tempt to evade their obligations. How ever, they are not doing so. In fact. In big losses, where more than six companies were involved,- the German-American. German Alliance, New Hampshire and Phoenix showed up as well as any of their associates. At Manager Tyson's office in Oakland yesterday it was stated that $2,260,000 had already been paid out in claims. Of this the German-American is credited with $1,030,000, the Phoenix with $000,000, and the German Alliance with $200,000. ASKS FOR TWO DEPUTIES Building Inspector Spencer Says Du ties Are Too Onerous. Building Inspector Spencer yesterday requested the ways and means committee of the Council to recommend that pro vision be made for the appointment of two deputies to assist him with the du ties of his office. He urged that the in creased building In Portland has Increased the work of the inspection department to a magnitude that cannot be handled prop erly by one man. and to attain best re sults there should be one deputy for each side of the river. His request was con sidered informally, as there was not a quorum of the committee present, and will be taken up at the next meeting. Inmaking his request. Inspector Spen cer said that the office is more than self supporting, showing for the first six months of the year a balance on hand of $642. This money, he said, could be ap plied on salary of the deputies. Mr. Spencer said that Portland is at a disadvantage compared with other cities f equal size in the showing made in building because contractors do not take out permits for their full value, and in the cases of barns, sheds and repairs often take out no permits at all. He thought that with two deputies all these things could be checked up. Don't Drink on Hot Days; Suck a Straw DR. J. G. FELIX, OF CHICAGO, SAYS FARMER'S WAY IS MUCH THE BEST. "People have a great habit of drinking too much liquid, especially cold beverages, during the hot weather. They do this naturally because they are thirsty. One of the greatest things in the world for people who are always thirsty is to chew the' stalk of an ordinary oat straw." The speaker was Dr. J. G. Felix, of Chicago, who is at the Hotel Portland. "In farming countries," the doctor con tinued, "on hot days the farmers go about their work with straws In their mouths. The act of sucking the straw creates a flow of saliva, keeping the mouth and throat in a moist condition. The custom Is one that has been handed down- from generation to generation In this country ever since farming began." Dr. Felix is on his way to the Sound for the benefit of bis health and for recrea tion. WILL WIND UMTS AFFAIRS State Ievris and Clark Fair Commis sion to Hold Final Meeting.

Manrico ....Dominico Russo Leonora. .Bessie Tannehlll and chorus "Specialties." "Because" Hardelot "La Donnae Mobile," from "Rlgo Ietto" (Verdi) Dominico Russo By A. H. Ballard. I THINK that the musical fare offered at the Heilig Theater this week is worth anybody's while. The weather was slightly cooler last evening and a fairly large audience greeted the splendid efforts of the tenor Russo, Bessie Tannehill and the beauti fully costumed and well-drilled Kendall Company, which united in a various bill that would fill the cup of pleasure to overflowing were the place any other habitation under the sun save Portland, Or., and the people anyone else on this mundane sphere save the inhabitants of this city of potential and unobtrusive enthusiasm. There could not well be Imagined a more piquant and attractive "Olivette" than Lottie Kendall. Sweet, winning, coquettish, pretty, nice-singing, ravlshly dressed, wide-eyed, bewitching in every move and tone. Pitkin was mirth-inspiring as usual, and actively, positively new In what he devised among his man nerisms and drolleries. Also his voice Is always voluminous and dulcet. Lodge trailed along with his funny ways and kept up the good humor. Millar Bacon did not omit to add the touch of strong musical beauty that his mellow, ringing voice ever makes us feel. The chorus sang and danced fascinatingly. The sets were lavish. The costumes colorful and graceful. The two acts were sunc with dash, and the caressing airs pleased all sympathetic ears. Beautiful Finale or "Trovatore." The beautiful finale of the third act of Trovatore, "Back to Your Mountain." was sung with discretion and intelligence by Miss Tannehill and Russo. The pleas ing timbre of each voice seemed to be in evidence unusually. The resonant strains rang out clear and effectively. When the duo blended In the melodious closing bars, as she goes to sleep, the artists certainly rounded out a near perfect rendering of the operatic passage. Encores were vigorously demanded. The selection from Rlgoletto that Russo gave afterward raised the appreciative ones off their feet, and Russo's rendering of "Because" caused the cockles of the stoniest-hearted and most phlegmatic in the audience to tinkle so that a thunder ing amount of hand-clapping broke loose. The "Miserere," that Immortal number from an immortal opera (never stale when well sung) was sung beautifully by the same principals. Close of Engagement This Week. I consider it a rare treat to hear these people sing. Soon they will be here no more. I deem it a great pity, and a re flection on the lack of perception of the populace, that this excellent organiza tion. Including some very rare artists among the best on the operatic and the atrical profession, that enough patronage is not accorded this musical season to warrant its further continuance after the present week. There will be matinees Wednesday and Saturday, and this bill will be repeated each night during the present week. Af ter that I hear that they are going up to Seattle, where the people may know a meritorious musical offering at popular prices when they hear it. Musical Director Deserves Praise. A distinct and separate word of praise is due to W. A. Reynolds, the musical director of the Kendall Musical Com pany. No layman knows the amount of work it requires to get up an operatic bill like the practically triple bill of this week. The brunt of it all falls upon the musical director. He has to rehearse from morning until night: show nearly everybody not only their music but their "business," and then conduct the opera at the performance In the evening and at the matinees also. Mr. Reynolds is known to be a wonder at this sort of work. But he has never worked so hard in his life as he has during the weeks of the present musical comedy and grand opera season. And, besides, he thinks that he has never met with quite bo little appreciation on the part of the public. Not to say that the people who have attended the performance have been lack ing In gladness. It is the nonchalance of the public pulse, resulting in a sparse attendance, that makes It Impossible for so expensive and so large a musical or ganization to exist In artistically passive Portland. In Vaudeville Houses BY A. H. BALLARD The Grand. "M USIC is looming up in the foreground 1 l at the vaudeville theaters this week. The Musical Keltons (three people, two grown persons and a wonderful child), at the Grand Theater, made almost a sen sation yesterday. This little Kelton girl Is particularly proficient as a buck-and-wing dancer her feet are like animated buzssaws and her skill on the xylophone is phenomenal. She brought down tne house with her rendering of the "William Tell" overture on this instrument. I thought that they would never cease their clapping. The return of Armstrong and Holly is also an ijnportant and pleasur able feature of this week's festivities at the Grand. This clever team has a new sketch, which they call "Yacht" perhaps not so good as their "Expressman," but good, with emphasis on the good. Hilde brand and Vivian do a "strong" act, rais ing a 53-gallon barrel of water with their teeth, etc If the electric fans did not cool you while they were doing this one might faint. James Burke sings the Illus trated song, "St. Francis," an echo of burned San Francisco. Milton Dawson presents the sketch "How He Won Her," assisted by Virginia Anderson; and "The Only Helena ' entertains by character changes and impersonations. The bill is worth while. Tou wouldn't regret a visit I liked most of It. The Star. The Star follows in line with consider able music Madame Wanda'a educated coach dogs are not, in reality, musical, but the rhythm of their seeming instincts approaches very near to human intelli gence. uey amuse and astound dog ad mirers, and are interesting to a wide range of people. Coyne and Tingling are over-expert hand-to-hand and head-to-head balancers, who are well received. Mildred Eddy's illustrated song, "The Land of the Red. White and Blue," made a hit. Marlon D. Wood came out and pleased in operatic selections. The con cluding number on the programme was the regular skit by the Star Stock Com pany. This week it is entitled "A Quiet Family," which particular family proved to be anything in this wide, wide world but quiet. In the bill figure Montie Col lins, Norma Wills, Dick Mack. J. W. Clif ford, Mildred Eddy and Manolita Stetson. Pantages. Again music in the ascendant this time at Pantages. A heroic, a surprising, a stunning attempt for a vaudeville house to spring on an unsuspecting public is the very satisfying rendition of the bedroom scene from "Fra Diavolo" by the Metropolitan Singers at this indus trious and cozy theater that asks you to come in for a few moments, and prisents bills that hold your attention until the show is over. Here is the cast of the scene to which I refer (and I would sug gest that everyone go and hear these Metropolitan Singers). They have voices, they have powers to act, and they use all their gifts with a will and with success. Miss Eleanor Jenkins, soprano, takes the part of Zerllna; Miss Olga De Moe. con tralto, impersonates "Lady Alcash"; Fred erick Irwin, tenor, portrays "Lorenzo," and W. C. Deusing, basso, has "Fra Di avolo." Their singing is superb. Madame Yohe and a little girl present a fetching comic sketch, "The Troubles of a Widow." Meadows and Lassar sing and dance. Gean Wilson makes a ten-strike with his new illustrated song, "I Tried So Hard to Forget Her" pretty slides add much to It. Thomas and Evans give a comic skit, "A Horrible Night," and Lit tle Helena, "The California Magnet," an other infant prodigy, simply took the house by storm. Her magnetic voice showed us that VNobody Works but Fa ther," is not an old song or a hackneyed song. The trouble is with us. We never have heard it sung right before. Straight tip go and hear Little Helena. The Lyric. Not to be outdone by anybody In life, the Lyric introduced another young mu sical artist as an entre-act attraction yes terday. This was Master Alfred Neu Vjerger, late of the Lyceum, San Fran cisco. His clear, resonant voice in "We Are Just Plain Folks" brought forth real storms of applause from the enthusiastic Lyric patrons. The play this week. "A Soldier's Bride," Is the old standard play of "Caste" done over. It has been a fine play for a good many years, and has not lost in the Interim. This Lyric company is as competent a stock company as one finds in any of the cities of the size of Portland. The intimate footing on which the audience feels with respect to the players at the Lyric stamps this house as unique among places of amusement. The work of each actor and actress in the cast is watched eagerly from week to week, and when the players have good chances for the display of their ability, there Is ln-ariably a round ring of ap plause that fills the soul of the player with joy and gladness. The productions at the Lyric merit the patronage of everybody in town. This little theater has been going cm continuously for nearly two years, and has steadily increased its patronage. The acting is as good as in other more pretentious companies. The small size of the stage is the only differ ence between the productions of this house and those in far more expensive places of amusement. The Baker. Pictures, both moving and stationary, stereoptlcon pictures, portraying the San Francisco disaster and' great fire, are be ing shown at the Baker Theater this week. B. S. La Muerte Is owner and manager of the collection, and it is the best representation I have seen of the effects of the great earthquake and fire. They say that the Miles Brothers took the pictures. Whoever ook them, they are historic and well displayed. For ex ample, the method of seting forth on the screen the picture of a prominent building as it looked before It was burned is car ried out, and by the side of this on the same screen is shown the ruins of the building as it exists today. The moving picture of the Grand Army is also very effective. The collection is furnished by the San Francisco Disaster Company, as If it were a purveyor of disasters. But that doesn't matter, as the exhibition is Important and excellent. There is some humor thrown into the lecture and occa sional pictures of a brighter nature put before the eyes of the audience, that all may not be so terribly somber as the na ture of the general exhibition would nec essarily otherwise be. Skyscrapers sway ing like reeds, the total collapse and de struction of block after block, the popula tion in its mad rush for safety, the strug gles of the heroic firemen, soldiers and citizens, the utter ruin from Barbary Coast to the Nob Hill mansions, shooting the vandals and looters, dynamiting and cannonading the buildings. Golden Gate Park covered with the tents of million aires who are now reduced to poverty oh! it all makes up a harrowing expe rience enough, to suit the morbid in stincts of anyone, and, of course, interest ing merely as the faithful and correct rec ord of the worst catastrophe since the flood.

Noted New York Edncators In Party Which Spends Day In Portland. One hundred and sixteen members of a touring party from the East, consisting mostly of teachers from the State of New York, were taken to the various parts of Portland yesterday afternoon in special electric cars, guests of the Board of Trade, and shown the places of interest. The tourists- arrived here in the morning from the south by special train, and spent the morning at the Cascade Locks. In the evening they took dinner at the Hotel Oregon. Last night the teachers left for Seattle on their way East, by way of the Yellowstone Park, and to other places of interest. The teachers had originally planned to attend the meeting of the National Educa tional Association at San Francisco, the convention bavins been Drevantad bv tha earthquake. The excursionists left New York June 30, and expect to be away Just a month. Dr. Charles O. Dewey, superintendent of the public schools of Brooklyn, is one of the members of the paqty. Other well known educators are Dr. John Dwyer, of New York; Professor O' Callahan, of New York: Professor De- Grout, of Buffalo; Professor Edgerly, of Fitchburg, Mass., and Professor Dalrymple. of New Jersey. Dr. Dewey, of the Brooklyn schools, was well pleased with the West, but owing to his short stay in Portland had no time to investigate the educational system of this city. "From what I have seen today of the Portland public school buildings, I would imagine that the educational facil ities here are very good," Dr. Dewey said yesterday. "People with whom I have talked speak favorably of the system In vogue here, and I have heard a number of compliments for the teachers." TAKES MINISTER TO TASK District Attorney Asks Dr. Brougher for Evidence Against The Oaks. District Attorney Manning yesterday subpenaed Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher to appear before him and divulge the evidence in his possession that liquor was sold to minors at "The Oaks." Dr. Brougher appeared as requested and with him came Attorney E. S. J. McAl lister.Mr. Brougher. however, refused to divulge anything, and as a result there were several heated exchanges between him and the prosecutor. Dur ing the session, which lasted over an hour, Manning asked an explanation of the doctor concerning his utterances in the pulpit Sunday night to the effect that the district attorney would not prosecute the alleged cases of election frauds. . In answer Mr. Brougher said nobody would be more happy to see Mr. Manning prosecute the frauds than he. Manager Friedlander, of "The Oaks," very forcibly expressed his attitude on the nature of his resort in these words: "We have had from the day of open ing special policemen detailed here to prevent any minors from buying liquor, and we are trying in every possible way to make this a thoroughly clean and re spectable resort."
