Work on Eaht Sidb Fills. The Pa cific Bridge Company, which has con trnots for the East- Side fills, practically completed the embankment on Kast Oak .treet between Union and Urand avenues last week, and has started building trestle, for the work on East Sixth street. Between Grand avenue and East Sixth work on the trestle was eTolne; forward 5-esterday. A pile driver Is ready to start driving piles on Bast Sixth north from Washington today. Very slow progress Is belnsr made on the nil across Montjtomery eloUR-h In Lower Alblna. Prohably not 15 per cent of the work Is completed there a sub-contract was let to Schrll & Com pany to move dirt from the Foster blork into this ravine by dump waKOnn. bnt this atoes forward very slowlv. There la much complaint over the delay at this nil, owing to the tnron the public j subjected. The next fill, after these have been completed, is that of Knat Ninth street across Stephen slough. The Farinc Bridge Company will fXtend a Spur from the Brooklyn carline on Kl orth street and work from the south side or the alouRh. Improvement of Eaal Js'lnth street between Kllsworth ana Hawthorne avenue is Included In the contracts. Wherh I.iriM-rn Auk Kefdbd. Grand avenue between East. Alder and Et Burnslde streets Is the darkest thorough fare On the East Side. This condition wan practically demonstrated Saturday niffht. when hundreds of pedestrians found the west aide sidewalk on the embankment Ibetween East Btark and Oflk streets obstructed. The sidewalk was torn up by employes of the Pacific HrlriKe Com pany and a. bank about three and a half feet hiirh extended over It on top of which were tracks for the dump cars. This obstruction forced men, women and children passing that way out into the mud of the embankment. There was the faint light or a red lantern hung at the end of the track, which told of dancer. but did not show where It was, and the consequence was that several hundred plowed throHRh the mud on tlio embank ment. Saturday tnight hundreds were passing: this spot, and nearly every one emerged from the quagmire with shoes plastered with mud. The push eluhs will demand lig-hus at every Intersection on Grand avenue. Funeral of Mrs. C. IT. Labbb. The funeral of Mr. C H.

' "Why Is I-te Poor?" was the subject of an address to Socialists by Dr. C. H. Chapman last night in the Allsky Hall, which was of deepest interest to all stu dents of economln problems and which held the close attention of the gathering. Dr. Chapman haa the faculty of getting right at the root of things, and he did not deviate from his usual practice last nifrht. He told plain and unvarnished truths about the relative conditions of the workinpnan and tlie capitalist, most of them reflecting on the rascality of many of the latter, some of -them on the stupidity of the former. Frankly admit ting that the truths he was telling about. certain corporate interests would be termed "Incendiary" from the capitalists' view-point, he paid ironical tribute to their purposes In robblnK the worklnK- mun o hla rights and making him pay or the "velvet" which provides dividends on watered stock in tAg concerns. J Jr. Chapman does not consider that the habit of drink is one of the prime causes ol the working cla?sc3' poverty, citing the statistics of the Department of Com merce and Labor, wherein it Is shown that the average expenditure for liquor Is 25 cents per week for each family. Ono ot tho principal reasons for being poor he pave as the fact that every work- inpman works two-thirds of the day for nothing-; and the other that he works to support the capitalist. In reference to tlio former he explained that throe hours work out of 10 balanced the wapo and product of the work, while the other seven hours were given to the employer. "You are Tree citizens' he eaid, "but you ro on voting along certain lines just because your fathers or grandfathers did. You jsro on working two-thirds of the day tor the rich man when you could vote for your own rights and have them, the next day, and only do what you are paid for. You ro on hanging onto straps in the cars when you could own the sys tems and maintain a decent service in- Btead of paying the velvet to the corpor ations." He took a humorous dig- at certain teachings of Some religious bodies and a vicious one at society, declaring the latter to be an organization formed to systematically pick the poor man's pocket. "And some religious denomina tions, he said, "'tell you to keep quiet, that when you reach the 'evergreen shore' there will be no capitalists and that everything; will be lovely for the work lnRma r. They have been fllnKing; this song for centuries I have heard it eince I vas a child, but how do we know what la going to be on the other shore? It may be full of capitalists even Rockefeller may be there. I believe it Is better to have tho bird In the hand and let the capitalist do the waiting for the 4ever- green shore.' " U he speaker went into the "grabs of city streets and property by local corpor- atlons and told the stories ol steals In most entertaining style. HOLDS FRANCHISE HIGH St. Johns Councilman Wants $2o, OOO From Telephone Company, Councilman S. C. TCorton. of St. Johns, places a very high Value on the telephone franchise in that place, and as far as n la concerned there will be no com promise with the company. He holds that a 21-year franchise is worth S25.O0O. and he is not In favor of granting one lor less. 4'It may be that I am too high in my but this Is the way It anneals to rue." said the Councilman. "I am looking for a big city on the Peninsula. The packing- house plant alone will employ 5000 men and then the blsr "VVeyerhauser eawmtll will employ as many more. These two plants win bring more people here and other plants will also come. In less than lO years more than 10,000 telephones will be in use in &t, Johns : then what will the franchise toe worth? Certainly more than kiw, as somebody proposes. We have to take the future Into considera tion. I floa't know who authorized the announcement that an offer had been made the company to grant It a franchise for 21 years for Jllflft. but we had just as well frfve the company a franchise at once as to grant any such erms." Mayor Hlnman places a greater value on the franchise than p ana an Ordi nance fixing the value In accordance with it would hardly- eret his support, as the present oharter does not copter that power on the Mayor. The telephone franchise In St. Johns will doubtless continue tm- settled and may enter Into the Spring: elections.

It is a play which holds one's Interest and sympathy completely. Its atmosphere of college life Lj redolent with the sweet- nops of the very younjr days, the days of serenades and moon 11 a ht and younsr lovers' phantasies. The days when birds sang in our hearts, when it wan Spring time and the Summer. Autumn and the forbidding- Winter seemed - far, far re mote. I have seen it a number of times, but for me it has never lost Its spell. I only wish there were more like It John Balnpolls plays Karl Helnrleh, the young Prince who escapes from the court to nave nis nin? at the University where he breaks his heart and the heart of the delicious little peasant-girl of Ruder's Inn. The performance which M"r. Saln polls gives is technically correct, as is everything which that talented actor does, but I do not consider that he Is happily placed. In what la known as he somehow falls to j?aln the sympathy of the audience in his present role. I know or no reason why this should be so. except that an actor cannot play all things equally well. Had I toeen casting the piece I should have assigned Donald Bowles to play Karl Helnrich. As Kath le there Is no room for argu ment concerning the work of Xllllan X-aw- rence. tone gives to. the part her very best efforts and succeeds in retaining every whit of the pathetic charm which attaches to the character. the ntric valet, repeats the tremendous hit he made tn the part With the Columbia Company two years ago. It has been remembered ever since as a masterly piece of char- tef in the present production than he Was upon the former occasion. WilMam ' LMIIr, who also appeared in the play at the Columbia, is again seen as I r. Juttner, Karl Heinrieh's lovable old tutor, and repeats the success he scored at that time. It Is a beautiful characterization. William "Harris as Ruder, the innkeeper. 2VI rs. Gleason as Fran Ttuder, Howard Russell a the leader of the student corps, James Gleason as Kellcrman the waiter, Maribel Seymour, who was unrecognizable as the doddering- old rrand-aunt, all "got by" with credit to themselves. The play Is handsomely staged. "TlUy Olson" at tlie Empire. A new kind- of Swedish dialect show came to town yesterday and, played be fore two standing-room-only audleaces at the Empire. "We have had "Yon Yon- sons. "Olo Olsons" and their like by the dozen, but never betore has the hero- ically humorous young North-of-Europe person at the head of the play been a Klrl. For this reason alone "Tilly Ol son" Is decidedly out the ordinary. The play transpires in Minnesota, where Jim Hill comes tVom. It is a combina tion tt rural comedy and urban melo drama. Tilly, as played by Adelaide Mar Ian, is a diverting Scandinavian g-irl who in spite of her brief residence in tho land of the free shows remarkable pre cocity and a penchant for being: always on the spot when there is need of some One to put the kibosh on the villainous designs of the conventional rascals who batten upon their deviltry until the mo ment arrives for them to set "theirs."" The scenery is better than -that usually carried by stair-HaveMn attractions and the company is somewhat above the av erage. Miss Harlan has many of the at tributes of the successful comedienne. George Berry and Maurice Coste as Dad Marvin and zehe, ttie farm-iiand, respec tively, are quite satisfactory as portrayers of "rube" characters. The specialties introduced by Costo, Master Falkner, Morry Long and Miss Harlan pleased the patrons immensely. "Tilly Olson will run through the en tire week and is certain -to appeal to the propular price auelionces. ' It has many meritorious features and provides an en- joyable evening's entertainment. DROPS 20 CAR EMPLOYES J?ort la nd Kail way Com pan y Posts Iciest, of Dls!liarged Men. Lists containing the names of 20 men were posted at the Savler-street barn of the Portland Hallway Company yesterday, and their discharge f rOTU the employ of the company announced. Conflicting; reasons were Riven for the act by persons i n a position to know. Officials at the barn say the greater number failed to report for duty, whih a few were discharged for cause. It Is supposed that the men were so active in the recent strike as to make the m - selves persona non grata with the company. The super in ten dent of the Savler street ham refused last nlsrht to give the names of the men. and attempted to surround the affair with, mystery. This list of men discharged by the company Is in addition to the 30 men dlscharred whn. the strike was first declared. BITE OF HORSE SERIOUS Silver Lake Man Made Violently 111 by tl Wound.

After a half-hour of suffering, caused by a fatal dose of carbolic acid, Mrs. ferry T. Tull died this afternoon, at her apartments ir the Val lamont PlocK.

Dr. Sutherland said: "Mrs. Tull had -been in the habit of taking medicine. - axfd. Z think that she took tho carbolic acid by mistake. Whether she drank it from a glass, a spoon or a bottle, I could not deter mine, nor could I say how much of a dose she had taken. Sometimes even a half-teaspoonful In trie ' case of a person who is ill and who has not eaten much, will prove fatal, and a teaspoon. f vi 1 fs enough to kill almost anybody, I Judge that the tragedy was accl- dental." Coroner Witter said he hud not been notified and had not yet taken action. Mrs. Tull was aged 45 years. She has lived 18 years in Spokane. She was the wife of P. D.
