Death op Miss Bessie Barrows. The
Fad news of the death, of Miss Bessie
Barrows, who passed away yesterday
morninfr at the Good Samaritan Hospital
Bfter a brief illness, will come as a sur
prise and shock to her many friends in
this city. Three weeks ago Miss Bar
rows was attacked by an acute case of
grip, but no serious results were antici
pated. Up to a few days ago her re
covery seemed assured. Last Saturday
complications set in that bafffed the
skill of the physicians, and she passed
away at or. eaIy hour Sunday morning.
Miss Ba flows was but 27 years of age,
and, previous to the fatal attack en
Joyed robust health. She will be remem
bered and mourned by hundreds of
friends, customers and store-mates with
whom she was associated for several
years, and served In her pleasant way as
'a sales-woman at different times, in the
department stores here. She leaves a
foster mother, Mrs. DeLin, of this
city. Her father, now in Los Angeles,
a sister and two brothers living In the
Kast and a foster sister, Mrs. John R.
Oatman. with whom she has resided the
past few years, also survive her. Fu
neral notices will be published later.
Bart Stark Improvement. The Pacific
Bridge Company is dYrving piles for the
Ka.st Stark street fill, between Union and
Cirand avenue. This action has been un
dertaken on account of the erection of
the three-story brick on Grand avenue
and East Stark street. The embankment
on East Stark street is the most extensive
street All yet attempted, and will require
more than 100,000 cubic yards of material.
The first part of the fill is between East
AVater and East Sixth street, which will
require probably 150.000 cubic yards of
material, and the other fill is between
Ninth and Twelfth streets, where some
work has already been done. Beyond
ICast Twelfth street the improvement will
be the ordinary graveled roadway. Also
between East Twentieth and the city
limits the street will be Improved. It is
proposed to cut down the thoroughfare
from its present elevation so there will be
an easy grade from East Twentieth east
ward. East Stark is important for the
reason the new High School Is located on
It and because it joins the Base Line
road into the country.
Funeral op Chaki.es Ford. The fu
neral of Charles Ford was held yesterday
from Einley's undertaking chapel, the
Interment being at Lone Fir cemetery.
The services were attended by members
of Fidelity Lodge No. 4 and Fidelity
Lodge Degree of Honor No. 14, and also
of the Oregon council, Royai Arcanum,
of which orders he had been an active
member. Mr. Ford was 62 years old. and
had been in the employ of the Pacific
States Telephone Company for a number
of years. He was a pioneer resident of
the East Side. He is survived by his
v?ife. and four children, Mrs. Walter
Kloat, La, Myra, Chad and Mabel Ford,
of Portland. He was popular in fraternal
circles.
Foundation for Bridge. Work on the
foundation for abutment piers on the
south side of the Grand-avenue bridge
over Sullivan Gulch has gone forward
steadily since the storm, and some ex
cavating has been done on the north side
of the gulch. Owing to the soft nature
of the dirt much material must be moved
to reach a solid foundation. No attempt
has yet been made to drive piles beyond
the ends, but that will be done after the
nbutment piers have been erected. There
is much Interest in the progress of the
work on this bridge owing to the long
delays of the past. It is understood that
the structural iron will begin to arrive
some time in March.
Chinese Celebration Restricted.
Cliong Shong. a Chinaman who wished to
celebrate properly the New Year, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon for shooting
tire crackers on Sunday. The police order
restricting the celebration caused a ereat
deal of sorrow among the Chinese, and
Chung Chung, better known as "the
Mayor of Chinatown" visited police
headquarters in an attempt to persuade
Chief Grttzmacher that the celebration
was in no way disturbing the Sunday
quiet. His plea was unheeded, and he
loft with orders to allow no firecrackers
until 5 o'clock this morning.

INTERRUPTS CAR SERVICE
Short Circuit Brings Annoyance to
Holiday Crowds
Evidence that the light and power fa
cilities of Portland have not yet been
restored came to light yesterday after
noon between 3:30 and 4:15 o'clock, when
not a streetcar wheel turned. It was
an aggravating situation, because it was
Sunday and thousands of people were
out enjoying the beautiful weather. Most
of them had planned car rides to the
Heights or to the suburbs, but grew
weary of the long suspension of traffic
and retraced their steps homeward.
It seems that there was a short cir
cuit on the main line between Oregon City
and Portland, the exact location of which
has not yet been determined, though
scores of linemen were cent out to test
the wires. In an Instant every car on
both sides of the river was stalled and
every light went out. The various thea
ters giving Sunday matinees were either
obliged to resort to the emergency gas
lights or to suspend their performances.
By switching on the auxiliary power
from the city station, the streetcar com
pany was able to resume traffic

ESTHER MITCHELL VERY ILL
Holy Koller Girl Suffering In Jail
From Attack of Grip.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Esther Mitchell, sister to
George Mitchell, whose life she took,
after his killing of Edmund Creftield,
the Holy Roller leader, was stricken
with an attack of the prevailing grippe
epidemic several days ago and as she
tosses in pain on her bed in the county
jail her condition is esteemed quite
serious by the attending prison physi
cian. The young woman, although in
comparatively good spirits of late, has
shown the result of her close confine
ment and lack of companionship of
.Maud Creftield. Her health has not
been very good, and there are grave
fear that the present acute illness
may take a serious turn.
MRS. MACHETTE IS DEAD
Mother Who Was Burned Trying to
Save Babe's Life Passes Away. '
Mrs. Daisy Machette. who was fatally
burned Saturday in her home on the
Fstacada car line, died yesterday after
noon at St. Vincent's Hospital. She re
covered consciousness shortly before her
death and told how her baby had tipped
over the lamp, catching its dress on fire,
and how she had caught fire herself in
trying to save the child. Her death was
expected every minute of the day, and
the physicians and nurses marveled that
she lived so long, considering the terri
ble nature of her burns.
At the bedside were her two sisters
and the husband. Mr. Machette was so
overcome by - the death of his wife and
child that he was unable to talk, and
seemed beside himself. The body was re
moved to Finley's undertaking establish
ment. No lnqueet will be held, and the
date of the funeral has not been set.

SISTERS. OF MABELLE GILMAN
THINK MR. COREY ' JUST GRAND"
Pearl and Eunice, Aged 18 and 12 Years, Arrive in Portland to Play
Engagement at Local Vaudeville Theater.
TWO sisters of Mabelle Gilman, the
actress, who is to become the bride
of W. J3. Corey, the steel king, ar
rived in Portland last night for a week's
engagement at one of the vaudeville
theaters. Pearl and Eunice, aged 18 and
12 respectively, are attended by their
father and mother, and are to appear
in a playlet entitled "Christmas Tree."
They are making all the capital possible
out of the notoriety which has befallen
their family through the well-advertised
alliance between Mabelle and the "Smoky
town" captain of industry, but at one
same time they are girls of winsome
beadty. Both have gloriously big and
beautiful eyes, limpid and languid, and
they are painfully refined, but at the
same time vivacious and entertaining. As
to affability, that is entirely dependent
upon the whims of the maternal parent
who watches over them as a hawk would
its offspring.
Pearl and Eunice Gilman reached Port
land yesterday afternoon, and were .not
a bit averse to discussing the coming
wedding of "Mabelle." Neither were they
a bit backward about expressing their
opinions of Wlliam E. - Corey, Mabelle's
future husband, for they "simply adore
him," although they have never set eyes
upon this interesting personage.
Eunice is really the more Interesting
of the two, and one could hardly help
falling In love with her, principally be
cause of her' childish simplicity, which
has by no means been blighted or spoiled
by five years' experience on the stage.
She Is an extremely bright and dainty
miss, who apparently has learned much
more In the school of experience than she
has from books.
While one rarely looks for ingenuous
ness among people of the stage, no mat
ter what their age or experience, the
Gilman girls are the apotheosis of it.
They seem really at a loss to understand,
the furore they have created and the
attention the public has given them, and
insist the only reason they appear behind
the footlights is because they like it.
"It runs in the family," remarked Eu
nice with a naive smile. At the same
time they surely enjoy being made much
of, even If they are doing nothing but

AFTER a two weeks' run of medieval
romantic drama the Baker players
returned to the present period yesterday
and appeared in a creditable performance
of the modern English comedy of man
ners, "Brother Officers." The play has
a military setting, although it Is far from
being a war play.
A certain regiment of lancers stationed
in the home barracks is called upon to
receive a Lieutenant who has won his
commission and the Victoria cross be
cause of valient deeds in the neld. He is
a man of the people, genuine, honest and
unsophisticated in the ways of "smart"
society. His fellow officers, "swells," all
of them, resent the promotion of a mere
sergeant to be one of them, and he finds
himself in an unfriendly atmosphere.
However his innate nobility and his bril
liant army record serve to overcome the
prejudice and he is accepted on his merits.
This is the character of John Hinds,
played splendidly by Edgar Baume.
It has previously happened that Hinds
has saved the life of young Lieutenant
Pleydell, who out of gratitude stands
sponsor for the new officer among the
devotees of fashion. Pleydell has been
gambling and has lost a large sum to
Robert Hilton, a newly made Australian
millionaire whom Hinds identifies as a
card-sharper and race track tout of 25
years before. Hutton urges the payment
of the amount which he has fleeced the
young Lieutenant out of, but agrees to
compromise provided Pleydell will Intro
duce him into society. The latter, is in
love with his beautiful cousin. Baroness
Honor, whose suitor Hinds also becomes.
Pleydell is faced by the alternative of
dishonor and the loss of his lady love
or paying Hutton 9000 out of hand.
Hinds comes to the rescue, threatens to
expose Hutton, forces him to forego his
claim against Pleydell, saves the young
Lieutenant, sacrifices his love for the
Baroness, brings the young lovers-together
and departs for a remote army
station, to the end that happiness is the
lot of all the deserving excepting him
self when the play ends.
Miss Lawrence plays the much beloved
gentlewoman with splendid technique and
feeling, making the character consistent
and sympathetic. Donald Bowles as the
wayward young officer returns to his most
congenial line of -work in which he has
few equals. The interview between Miss
Lawrence and him in the third act is
acting of the highest order, and Mr.
Bowles in particular distinguishes him
self. As the vulgar financier and former
crook, John Sainpolis is again seen in
one of those difficult character roles Jn
which his ability finds most brilliant dis
play. As has been intimated, Mr. Baume
is splendidly natural and effective as the
hero.
Howard Russell has never done better
work this season than he does as the
likable young Lord. Mr. Russell makes
the character perfectly rational, carefully
avoiding the temptation to caricature. It
is a fine piece of acting.
As the matronly Lady Margaret, it has
been some weeks since Mina Gleason has
appeared to such good advantage. It is
a part which few actresses could essay
so well. Other members of the company
give a good account of themselves in the
lesser roles.
As usual the stage settings are beauti
ful. Both performances yesterday were
largely patronized, the audiences attesting
their approval in the warmest manner.
"Brother Officers" will be repeated all
week.
Rock Quarry at Milwaukle.
The Portland Quarry Company, which
had a plant in South Portland, has leased
a 10-acre tract on the Willamette River
and adjoining Milwaukie on the south
and has men at work making preparation
for the erection of an extensive plant.
It is said the tract contains first-class
rock for all purposes. A rock-crushing
plant to supply material for road and
street work will be put up and the rock
will be shipped to Portland by barge.
Located as it is there will be no objec
tions from the residents of the vicinity.
A large force of men will be employed
in this plant, and Milwaukle people re
gard it as an important acquisition.
shine in the reflected glory of their big
sister.
"How does it feel to be a prospective
sister-in-law of a multi-millionaire?" they
were asked.
"My children (meaning Pearl and Eu
nice) have never seen Mr. Corey," inter
rupted the ubiquitous Mrs. Gilman with
emphasis.
"But we like him," exclaimed Eunice
innocently. "He is Just grand," she con
tinued. That was as far as she got that
time.
It was explained that Mr. Corey had
never visited Mabelle at the family home
In California, but had become acquainted
with her some years ago after she be
came famous as a chorus girl of "exqui
site charm and perfect figure."
As the result of a composite interview
with the mother and the two girls, it was
gathered tjiat Mr. Corey was held in
almost sublime veneration because of the
attentions he had bestowed on Mabelle's
family. It seems from what the family
said that Corey has provided father,
mother and the two children with a luxu
riously appointed private car to convey
them to New York as soon as their pres
ent round of the Coast circuit is complet
ed, and that it is not to cost them one
cent, and that thereafter, they had .been
provided with reservations of the most
palatial character on a trans-Atlantio
steamer, which is to carry them to the
other side in time to get acquainted with
"gay Paree" before the wedding is to
take place in the Spring.
Both Pearl and Eunice seem to be as
deeply impressed with Mabelle's rise to
fame as they are with her success in
enmeshing the heart of,a king of finance.'
Pearl related with enthusiasm how Ma
belle has risen step by step on the lad
der of fame from a struggling chorus
girl and had reached the dizzy heights
of stellar grandeur on the stage, and
how finally she has now begun studying
to go into grand opera.
"I think my children have talked
enough." remarked Mrs. Gilman, as she
gathered the interesting young brood un
der her wing and bore them away. (Ma
terfamillas, it is very clear, has but one
thought in mind in traveling with her
daughters, and that is to shield them
from men.

THE dog Tlge is funny, the cos

pretty, the precocious infant who plays
Buster would be quite a remarkable
juvenile comedian if it were not for
his impossible affectation of speech;
the girl who plays Mary Jane is cute
and the chorus does a drill in Highland
uniforms that is tolerable.
I might say more , about "Buster
Brown," as exhibited at the Heilig last
night, but I'm so kind-hearted I hate
to do it. The price of admission has
been reduced for the engagement, but
it is still too high. Those people who

"My Wife's Family" at the Empire.
"My Wife's Family," which opened
at the Empire yesterday to "standing
room only," proved one of the snap
piest, brightest and most pleasing pro
ductions offered by that theater this
season. It is a timely change from
the heavier melodramatic productions
which have been In vogue, and. in
keeping with the sunshine and warm
weather, is most exhilarating in its
general effect. The fun-lovers were in
their element, and the whole audience
laughed from start to finish at the wit
ticisms of the comedians, the funny sit
uations and the comic songs.
The most noticeable thing about "My
Wife's Family" is that it is excruciat
ingly funny and full of action, but is
lacking entirely in so-called horse
play. The many cheap characteristics
of the ordinary popular-priced plays
are conspicuously absent, and the com
edy is legitimate in every detail. It is
well costumed, the scenery is strictly
up to date, and the specialties are
both novel and new to the Coast.
The title Is a good key to the amal
gamated plot, which concerns a young
married man with too much mother-in-law.
In fact the large family of
his better half continually mix up in
his affairs, to his great discomfort and
humillaiton, and frequently to his sor
row. He buys his wife a piano as a
surprise gift, and in some inexplicable
way it gets confused with the infant
of his wife's brother Willie, who has
married secretly. Ambiguous notes and
the prying, sharp-tongbed, trouble
making motlTer-in-law brings matters
to a trying climax, but they are finally
straightened out and peace restored.
A character of much interest in the
cast is Ed Perry, who takes the comedy
part of Doc. Knott, my wife's physi
cian. One would not guess, to see the
frisky antics of this comedian on the.
stage, that he is away past the three
score mark end had seen many years
of experience before other members
of the company were born. He was a
clown in the old Poggie O'Brien cir
cus of antedeluvlan days and used to
travel up and down the Mississippi
River in the halcyon steamboat age
with various shows. He is juat as
springy as ever and the way he reads
his lines shows a better training than
actors of today exhibit.
Marie del Vecohio is another member
of the old school, and, although in her
sixties, does the scolding mother-in-law
with a vim, working harder than
any other woman on the stage. Frank
Appleton makes an admirable leading
man as Jack Gay, the husband, and
has the audience with him every min
ute. He and Perry make a splendid
team, and their songs made a decided
hit. Maude Moson is a winsome little
soubrette who dances nimbly and
brings some late Brodaway vocal suc
cesses to Portland. Dorothy Vaughn,
the lead, is also a fine soloist and was
recalled many times to repeat her spe
cialties, and several other members
also contribute to the many' musical
numbers which go to make the pro
duction unusually attractive.
The Introduction of an automobile
which works in most approved fashion
pleased the audience Immensely. . "My
Wife's Family" will appear at the Em
pire every night this week, with spe
cial popular-priced matinees Wednes
day and Saturday. And it is well worth
going to see.
