Few Want to Be Policemen. Very
few applications arc boinp; received by
the Civil Service Commission from men
desiring: to take the examination for ap
pointment on the Portland police force.
An examination was called some time
ko to bo held three days, commencing
November 29, but up to this time only
live applications have born received. As
there are now 11 vacancies for the posi
tion of patrolman, the securing of offi
cers presents rather a serious problem to
the commission. The difficulty in get
ting men is believed to lie chiefly in the
comparatively low salary now paid. As
wages have risen in nearly all lines of
work, there aro not only fewer applicants
than during former years, but as a class
the men who apply are loss competent.
It Is expected that the salary of patrol
men will be raised at the first of the
year, as this Is looked upon as the only
solution of the problem. Another rea
son for the scarcity of applications at
present Is probably found in the result
of the last examination, when only one
out of 49 applicants succeeded in qualify
ing for appointment. Two new officers
have just been appointed. They are
Iouglas Ieisy and G. Howell. I.eisy
Is a barber and has been In Port
land seven years: Howell has been
here six years and has been employed
by the streetcar company. Both men
reported last night at 8 o'clock for duty,
and will assist Captain of Ietectlves
Bruin for a week, after which time they
will be given beats.
Makes 8000 in Four Months. A hn!f
block on the south side of Irving street,
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, was
sold yesterday by Dr. C. AV. Cornelius
for JSO.ofrt). The purchaser was Dr. R.
C. Yenney, who last week sold a lot on
Park street for 120,000: Dr. Cornelius
purchased the half-block in August from
the 'SValiem.an-Morse Transfer Company
for $22,000, thus clearing tSOOO on his in
vestment In four months. As the prop
erty lies In a neighborhood which is
rapidly being Improved with warehouses.
It Is probable that it will soon become
the site of a substantial building. The
purchase of the Knox-Abrams tract was
yesterday completed and placed on
record at the nominal consideration of
S1. The actual consideration was $110.
000. The tract Is transferred to II.
Wemme, by whom it is given over to
the Overlook Land Company, of which
the members aro Mr. Wemme, II. R.
Kincald, A. M. Moores. G. Swensson. A.
F. -Swensson and 11. W. Joseph. There
are S3 acres in the holding, which fire
now being platted to be placed on the
market.
Catholic Cutis Incorporated. The
Cathulic Young Men's Club of St. Mary's
Church' Parish of Alblna 'has filed arti-
. cleg of Incorporation as a benevolent or
ganization, and the next step will now he
to place the bonds. At ah enthusiastic
meeting of the club Sunday afternoon It
was reported that J1500 of the bond issue
had already heen subscribed without
solicitation. These subscriptions are
widely distributed. P. K. Sullivan, presi
dent of the club, said yesterday that an
active canvass among the memhors of
the parish will now be undertaken. No
work toward the erection of the club
house will be started until at least $5000
of the bonds have been taken. It is
hoped to reach this amount this month.
The club has on hand plans for the pro
posed building, but has made no sclee-
' tion as yet. A meeting of members will
he held Tuesday evening, November 20, on
Williams avenue and Russell street, when
notes of progress will be compared.
Petitioners See Mayor. A delegation
of property owners of Woodstock called
upon Mayor I!ane yesterday to consult
him In regard to the Initiation of pro
ceedings for the improvement of Gar
field avenue from Kast Twenty-sixth
street to the city limits. They were, re
ferred to members of the Council, who
will at once be importuned to tile a reso
lution for this improvement. Gladstone
avenue is at present an 80-foot street,
but this portion Is not improved. It Is
proposed to narrow the thoroughfare to
60 feet and then place It in first-class
condition. There is at present a single
track carllne on this avenue leading to
Woodstock, but the residents are anxious
to have it changed to double track. If
the street is narrowed, the water pipe
will lie in the strip outsido the thor
oughfare and will have to be moved in.
Judge Wolvbrtov Opens Court. No
conference was hold yesterday between
X'nlted States District Judge C. K.
Wolverton. I'nited States Circuit Judge
Gilbert and United States District Attor
ney Bristol. Judge Wolverton opened

way, A. M. Cannon and J. D. Hosford
were admitted to practice before the
Federal Court. United States Attorney
Bristol will hold a consultation with
Judge Wolverton and Judge Gilbert per-
hapB today. At this conference will ba
setlted the court calenders for the De
cember terms of court. The date for
calling the new Federal grand jury will
elso be settled.

the matter of the proposed widening of
Seventh street filed their report yester
day with tho City Auditor, placing the
damages at $7206. For this Improvement
it is contemplated to condemn for street
rmrpunscs 375 square .feet of the west
end of lot 8, block 81, of the City of. Port
land, and 375 square feet of lot R, block
M. of Couch s addition. The Corbett es
tate, owner of the first property, is. to be
paid $3.0. and toward S. Rothchiid and
Clara Coufman, owner of the outer,
tMX. The improvement Is to do away

Conoway. a man with a police record
was arrested by Detective llellyer Sun
day morning at a rooming house on
Fourth street lor robbing Ij. w. H:sh
lann, a second-hand hook dealer of Yam
hill street, last Saturday night. A saloon
keeper 'saw Conoway trying to steal a
gold watch from- Highland and ordered
the fellow to desist. Later Highland
was taken by Conoway to a lodging
house and robbed of $2.2T. and a gold
watch and chain, and afterwards thrown
down stairs.
More Houses are Needed. More small
dwellings are needed in Sellwood to
hotise the skilled workmen of the woolen
mills, which will start operation in about
three weeks. There has been a building
boom in this suburb, but in spite of this
houses for rent are not easily found. It
is said that between 25 and oO houses will
, be needed for the mill people, most of
whom will De Skilled workmen with fam
ilies.
In Behalf or First Street. An ad
journed meeting of the First Street Im
provement Association was held yester
day evening at the Chamber of Com
merce and 15 property holders on First
street were present. Dr. George Strow
bridge presided and a committee was
named on constitution and bylaws. The
association proposes to force the cUy to
make good the guarantee of the pave
ment on First street from Stark to Madi
son. The street was paved in 1903 and
a guarantee was given by the city that
the street would be kept In good condi
tion for fen years. Another movement
is on foot for the improvement of First
street from Stark to Burnside, but the
kind of pavement has not been decided
on. It is proposed to bring all property
owners along First street in the associa
tion and try to make the street one of
the best in Portland. Another meeting
will be held In the Chamber of Com
merce next Monday night.
Entitled to 200 Delegates. Secretary
Glltner. of the Chamber of Commerce,
yesterday received a letter from Secre
tary J. F. Ellison, of the Rivers and Har
bors Congress, which stated that the
Chamber is entitled to send 200 delegates
to the next meeting of the congress.
The Chamber of Commerce contributed
$1000 to the fund raised by the congress,
which was $910 more than was expected.
Delegates are allotted in accordance to
the amounts subscribed. In giving money
to assist the movement which has for its
aim larger appropriations from Congress
for the improvement of the rivers and
harbors the commercial bodies or. tne
country were supposed to contribute ac
cording to the size o? their membership.
Only $90 was expected from the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, and when the
large subscription of $1000 was received
bv the officers of the Rivers and Har
bors Congress it created much . favor
able comment.
Shocked bt Live Wire. Guy Black
wood, aged 35, a fireman on the steamer
Dalles City, was seriously shocked by a
live wire at the Alder-street dock last
night at 6:45 o'clock. Acting Detective
Price went to the dock and called the
patrol wagon, the injured man being
taken to the Good Samaritan hospital,
He will recover. Blackwood's home is at
Washougal. He was repairing the con
nections on the wires which supply tne
current for the dock lights jind was
standing on a brass plate when the- cur
rent suddenly came on and he was
thrown from the -dock to the deck of a
boat, several feet below. He was picked
up unconscious and carried to a nearby
office. After a few moments Blackwood
recovered slightly and became delirious.
It required the combined strength of
seven men to hold him while the patrol
wagon was on the way to remove him to
the hospital.
Runaway Bots Caught. Three boys.
each aged 15 years, were taken in charge
by tho police at 6 o'clock last night.
They admitted having run away from
good homes In Seattle. The youngsters
gave the' names of Ted McGrath, whose
father is dead; George Graham, Srn of
Fred Graham, a traveling agent for a
soda fountain concern of Seattle, and
Sam Gorman, of 732 Fifteenth avenue,
Seattle. The boys had $1.20 in all, and
told the officers that they had come here
looking for work. Not finding it, they
had determined to go on to California,
where they were going to try picking
oranges and lemons. The runaways have
been in Portland since Saturday, and
have been living as best they could.
They were sent by the police to the
Boys and Girls' Aid Society, and an effort
will be made to return them to their
parents.
Satb People Favor Wide Street. H.
B. Dickinson, of Montavilla, member of
the committee appointed to prepare a
resolution for an 80-foot street from the
west side of the Ladd farm to the city
llmits, said yesterday that as far as he
had learned the people are in favor of
such a street. They did oppose a wide
street at one time and signed a remon
strance against it, says Mr. Dickinson.
Since the Ladd estate has consented to
open a wide street through its farm the
situation beyond the farm Is changed.
There will be some houses to move back
and some damages to provide for, but
the length of the street opened will be
over two and a half miles, so that, the
assessments will be light.
Destroying Landmarks. The buildings
on the southeast corner of East Morri
son street and Union avenue are being
torn down to make room for the modern
brick structure to cover that quarter for
W. H. Markell, who recently purchased
the property. These frame buildings
were among the oldest in East Portland.
Work on a concrete foundation will be
started as soon as the ground has been
cleared. Another quarter block, on the
northeast corner of East Morrison and
Third streets has just been sold by
Joseph Buchtel. The conditions are not
yet made public, but the consideration
was nearly $30,000. The new owner will
put up a building.
Elks Will Hold Social. The regular
monthly stag social of the local lodge of
KIks will be held Thursday night in the
clui rooms at Seventh and Stark streets.
A number of entertainers have been se
cured from the local theaters, and mem
bers of the lodge will also appear on the
programme.
Gammans and Malarket, E. B. Sea
brook and John A. Lee, Attorneys-at-Law,

CHARLES KLEIN, who wrote "The
Lion and the Mouse," didn't mention
"no names," but in a wonderful piece of
dramatic literature he must have given
some certain gentlemen in this country
more than one bad quarter of an hour.
He has painted a remarkable portrait of
the American money baron and used the
positive colors in doing it. Maybe he
meant John D. Rockefeller, or Pierpont
Morgan, or Ryan, probably his John
Burkett Ryder is a composite picture of
them all and a number of others whom
the grand juries may get some day. It
doesn't matter. He has given us a colos
sal figure which represents an influence
in American life today a stage character
that is likely to live. He was wise
enough not to write for a star: starring
vehicles are usually lopsided affairs, one
big one. and a number of cogwheels.
Klem's play Is a broad drama of life
that encompasses enough to require more
than one actor.
It is not difficult to discover why
Klein's play has been so successful. The
secret is timeliness. He strikes the iron
while It is sizzling hot. The people are
thinking out this problem of the domina
tion of money for themselves, and natur
ally when an honest, well-equipped play
wright discusses the subject they are
eager to hear him.
"The Lion and the Mouse" came to the
Heilig last night, newest thing In the
theatrical line that we have had this
season and one of the best in any sea
son. While none of those whose names
appear In the cast are widely famed, the
company is high class In every respect
and such elegance In the matter -of pro
luctlon is selsom seen "on the road."
Interest In the piece has been consider
able here since it set New York a-talking
some months ago. Theatergoers have had
a well-defined eagerness to see what it
was like, and those who crowded the1
house to its capacity last night "were, al
most without exception, as I believe, well
justured in their hopes.
The story is of a. financier, the richest
and most powerful inv the world, who
rules with the arrogance of an Oriental
satrap and has never yet met defeat. In
John Burkett Ryder we have the "Lion."
Shirley Rossmore, a brilliant young
woman, daughter of a Judge whom Ryder
has forced from the bench and ruined,
comes into his life by reason of her love
for the Lion's son and her desire to clear
her father's good name. In her we have
the Mouse, who in the end prevails
against her masterful opponent. It is too
pretty a story to spoil through a clumsy
telling, but it comprehends high finance.
National politics and the primitive pas
sionsgreed, hatred, love.
It is remarkably dramatic, but avoids
the theatrical, and for that and other rea
sons that have been indicated, is a great
play one which people who like the stage
at its best should not fail to see.
The interest is, naturally, centered in
the Lion and the Mouse, two wonderfully
well-drawn characters. Paul Everton in
the former role is guilty of but two minor
sins against his art. In one or two situa
tions, notably In the second and third
acts, he cheapens his work by rolling his
eyes and shouting. John Ryder, in the
flesh, doesn't do either, and the author
didn't intend that he should in the play.
Only a few times, however, does Everton
use those tricks, in the main his charac
terization being excellent.
Josephine Lovett, who plays the Mouse,
is a remarkably good actress and gives
the most artistic performance of the
whole. She has the ostensible qualifica
tions voice, face and figure and she
knows how to act well enough to be na
tural. Macey Harlam, as Jefferson Ry
der, son of the Lion, is thoroughly good
in the part that of a young man of the
"idle rich" type who finds himself at
last through his devotion to the girl. One
of the beauties of the play is the love
of the father for this son and one of the
best situations, the understanding they
arrive at In the last splendidly acted by
both Everton and Harlan.
The denunciation scene in the third act
s a tremendous scene in which Miss
Lovett, Everton and Harlan rise to the
heights. John S. Robertson as the Eng
lish secretary gave a fine account of him
self, as did Eleanore Sheldon as the
Lion's wife. George Barr has a bit which
he does very well.
The audience last night was subjected
to much annoyance from the gallery,
which persisted in whistling and cat call
ing. There should be some way of pre
venting such displays in a first-class the
ater. It's bad enough at a blood and
thunder melodrama. The intelligent por
tion bf the audience would seem to be
entitled to some consideration.
There will be a matinee of "The Lion
and the Mouse" this afternoon and a
final performance tonight. It is a pleasure
to Indorse it as a worthy attraction.
At the Stock Theaters
"Man of Mystery" at Star.
ELODRAMA is popular enough as It
1 I is, but if it were all of the kind that
is found in "The Man of Mystery." which
is the bill for this week of the Allen
Stock Company at the Star Theater, a few
more playhouses in Portland would have
to be opened up. Wnile probably not the
strongest or biggest production of the
Alien Stock Company it is undoubtedlv thn
most intensely interesting and is bound to
give tne aggregation an even still more
secure hold on the theater-goers of this
city.
"The Man of Mystery." as splendidly
Interpreted by the members of the Allen
Stock Company is almost uncanny. But
it holds with a vise-like grip the rapt at
tention of the audience and while It causes
many shivers it pleases.
Henry McRae, as The Shadow, shows to
the best advantage. He is the Man of
Mystery and Is a sort of a Dr. Jeykl and
Mr. Hyde. In society he is a minister of
the gospel but in real life is a desperate
criminal, wno to avoid detection steals
his sister from the home of his uncle.
The heroics are furnished by E. Loring
Kelley as Lucifer, the great detective
who falls in love with the sister of the
villain and rescues her from a horrible
death. His part is rendered with great
effectiveness and gave the audience an
opportunity to express Its enthusiasm
Muss Verna Felton as Florence Glenwood
the sister, shows to splendid advantage.
as do all the other members in the cast.
"The Man of Mystery" will continue the
rest of the week. It is really worth see
ing.
Lyric.
A play which sets the pulses throbbing
and holds the Interest from the first to
the last acf is "Forty-Nine" a dramatiza
tion of Joaquin Miller's stories of the
Sierras, as presented this week by the
Lyric Stock Company. The play is on
the order of "M'liss" and other frontier
melodramas of the better class. It pur
ports to depict life in a mining camp in
the California mountains and the lives,
situations, characters and stage settings
seem to be accurate reproductions,
The part o Forty-Nine, the old miner,
as played by Herbert Ashton, is a most
lovable and probable one. Air. Ashton is
a very efficient actor and when given a
strong role never fails to make the most
of it. His Forty-Nine is one of the best
performances he has ever given.
Great praise Is also clue Lily Brans-
combe as Carrotte the camp waif. She is
delightful in such parts and la thorough
ly pleasing and satisfactory when inter
perting the part in quesljon.
Charles Connors Is exceptionally good
as the drunken old General, gaining the
sympathy and approval of the audience.
Frank Fanning does not quite come up
to his usual standard as Denison the
lawyer hero. His articulation is bad
and his acting .lacks ease and naturalness.
Warda Howard hasn t much to do this
week but she does herself reasonable
credit. Lillian Griffiths is good in the
part of an old hag.
The production, is a very good one
and a credit to the management.
At the 'Vaudeville Theaters
Grand.
THERE is a remarkably fine trio of
gymnasts at the Grand this week
and although they are not featured on
the bill they are entitled to first honors.
It Is seldom that three performers work
together so admirably, each equally shar
ing the credit. As a rule in such acts
there is one good performer and the other
two merely fill in but in this instance the
two men and the woman each contribute
a third of the effort and the skill which
makes the act a good one. The Three
Zoellers are each and severally to be con
gratulated on the success of the act.
Harry Richards and his company, the
"company" consisting of Mayme Taylor,
Known here through her connection with
Murray & Mack and other musical com
binations, and Dorothy Daley, a pretty
girl who sings well, contribute an attrac
tive skit, called "Dollars and Cents."
Miss Taylor's number "Love Me and the
World is Mine" is the best feature of
the act.
Barry & Johnson in a travesty on
melodrama called "Held Fdr Ransom"
are decidely pleasing, while Billy Moore,
in blackface is creditable.
Harold Hoft. the boy balladist arouses
much enthusiasm by singing "Can't You
See I'm Lonely." Frederick Palmer
does a sleight-of-hand stunt and the
moving pictures are interesting.
Pantagcs.
TWO acts which depart from the con
ventional vaudeville bill as we are
accustomed to it here, stand out promin
ently at Pantages' this week and prove a
pleasing innovation. These are the De
Noys trio of dancers and the Randalls in
feats of marksmanship. Both are good in
their lines and Manager Johnson may
feel well satisfied with his offering this
week because it includes them. It is
such a difficult thing to get new acts
that his enterprise is to be commended.
The De Noys dance remarkably well.
introducing many new steps and giving
on the whole a most interesting and at
tractive exhibition of the art of Terpl
schore. The Randalls are dead shots and their
feats with fire-arms are nothing short of
amazing.
Another creditable act is that given by
the Musical Defays which scored a de
cided hit at both performances yesterday.
Fealey Brothers acrobats, George Sher
wood, monologi.st, Leo White with a new
illustrated ballad and the blograph pic
tures complete the entertainment.
TWO CHURCHES ROBBED
TIIIEVKS BREAK INTO CHOIR
ROOMS SUNDAY NIGHT.
Singers Are Plundered and Dr. Clar.
ence True Wilson Loses His
Overcoat.
Grace Methodist Church and the
White Temple were both raided by
sneak thieves Sunday night during the
services. As a result Rev. Clarence
True Wilson is minus a light overcoat
and several others are losers. After
services. Rev. Wilson -went to the
choir room to get his overcoat and
found it missing. Upon closer investi
gation he discovered that thieves had
broken the galas out of a door lead
ing up a rear stairway and had entered
the choir room. Professor William
Wilder, musician of the church, upon
examination of his overcoat, found that
thieves had taken several dollars in
small change from the pockets. Mrs.
Kemp, organist, was relieved of a
pocket book containing $15 and still
another member of the choir lost a.
valuable umbrella.
At the White Temple, thieves entered
the choir room through abroken glass
door. One woman who- had left her
purse in the room found it gone after
service. One man went home hatless.
while another lost an overcoat.
It is thought the same thief or
thieves committed both crimes, al
though no clew was discovered. Of
ficers are working on the case, but
it is not thought they will be able to
arrest the guilty parties. Rev. Wilson,
when asked concerning the matter,
said; "A friend consoled me by quot
ing the verse from the Sermon on the
Mount, which says: 'It any man shall
take thy coat, let him take thy cloak
also.' If the gentleman who took my
coat will kindly call I will follow the
instruction of that verse."
Republicans Plan Club.
Steps towards developing a social or
club branch were taken last night by the
regular Republican organization at a
meeting held In the Columbia building.
Those present were heartily In favor of
fitting up clubrooms for the use of the
members, and it may be that a building
lor a permanent noma win be erected.
More definite plans will be formulated at
a meeting next Monday night.
Methodist Preachers Meet.
Twenty-five Methodist preachers met
yesterday morning at Grace Church for
general discussion. Dr. Ford read a pa
per, entitled "Observance of the Sabbath
On this topic the ministers spent an hour
in discussion. With few exceptions the
ministers favor a strict observance of
Sunday and think those who possibly can
should attend church.. Literary meetings
are held every two weeks for discussion
of general topics relating to church work.
Presbyterian Ministers Vleet.
Presbyterian ministers of Portland held
their regular biweekly meeting yesterday
at the First Presbyterian Church. Aside
from the usual routine of business, a pa
per was read by Rev. A. D. Soper on
The Men s Resort. In the paper Rev.
Mr. Soper outlined the good resulting from
the Men's Resort and urged the support
of all ministers in its' behalf. It was de
cided to erect a large tent for evangelical
