feet above the concrete sidewalk, when
the hook that held the ropes slipped,
dropping the plank. The four men were
precipitated to the sidewalk. Matthias
received the only serious injury. Ernest

bruise. The other two men escaped with

though they were overworked during the

PASSION PLAY PICTURES
Great Dramatic Spectacle Repro
duced in Exposition Building.
Jones & Randall, managers of the Oaks
and the Exposition Skating Rink, opened
the latter resort last night as a theater
with "The Passion Play" as the first at
traction. The rink has been converted
into a temporary auditorium, seating
5000 people, with an immense canvas
screen at one end on which the moving
pictures that tell the story of Christ's
life and death are shown. The pictures
themselves are under the direct manager
ment of S. S. Range, and are new,
having been completed in Chicago only
a month ago for this production.
Over two miles of film are run off
during the 90 minutes that it takes to
present the "Passion Play." In all 625,000
pictures are flashed on the screen. These
are all hand colored, a tremendous
achievement in itself, when one stops to
consider it.
"The Passion Play" is given at Ober
ammergau. at intervals of 10 years, by
peasants in full costume out of doors
before a crowd numbering thousands.
These pictures 'were taken on the spot,
so any one seeing "The Passion Play"
as now shown in the Exposition, Rink
has practically all the advantages that
he would have after traveling thousands
of miles across land and sea to see it.
The play opens with Mary standing
alone, a mere slip of a girl. The angel
of the Lord appears to her and tells her
that she is to be the mother of the Christ
child. Then the scene in the manger is
shown, followed in regular order by the
Incidents of the Savior's life. Francis
Collins, the well-known lecturer, explains
the various scenes as they appear on the
canvas.
Between the three acts, while the films
are being changed, Mrs. Millie Perkiris,
who won a wide reputation as a singer
at the Lewis & Clark Exposition, sings
"The Holy City," "The Palms," and "In
His Steps," accompanied by A.
DeCaprlo's full band. Of the latter or
ganization no one in Portland need be
informed. DeCaprio won the gold medal
at the Lewis & Clark Exposition, and the
band's music In the Portland parks each
Summer has made its reputation in this
city.
Four performances will be given daily,
Including Sundays, till January 13, begin
ning with the following hours: 1 P. M.,
2:20 P. M., 7:30 P. M. and 9 P. M. Each
performance lasts one and a half hours.
"The Passion Play" Is the first of a long
list of theatrical attractions that Jones
& Randall will bring to Portland and
show in the Exposition building this
Winter.
"The Passion Play" is given by believ
ing Christians in the original as a sacred
duty, and is acted accordingly. Every
thing In connection with it is in a rever
ent spirit, as characterizes Easter serv
ices in some great cathedral, and it is
reproduced in the same spirit here in
Portland in living pictures and with the
best of music. By seeing "The Passion
Play" thus and listening to the lecture
by Francis Collins that accompanies it,
one can learn more Biblical history in a
short time than in any other way.
"The Passion Play," as here repro
duced, has received the highest indorse
ment of ministers the world over, irre
spective of denomination, and also of
leading 'college professors, as being his
torically correct, according to the Scrip
tures. RETURNED BY DETECTIVE
S. L. Reynolds Arrested at Aberdeen
on Larceny by Bailee Charge.
S. L. Reynolds, who formerly conducted
the rooming-house at 326 Stark street,
was brought back to this city last night
under arrest from Aberdeen. He was
placed in the City Jail on the charge of
larceny by bailee. Reynolds' arrest was
made on a warrant sworn out by Mrs.
A. G. Somers. from whom he had bought
the rooining-liouse. and who held mort
gages on it.
"I am innocent of any intent to wrong
Mrs. Somers," said Mr. Reynolds, when
he arrived at the police station irt charge
of Detective Smith. "I bought the place
from her in September, and conducted it
until some time in November when I saw
I was losing money, so I placed the house
In the hands of the Portland Business
Agency with Instructions to sell it and
pay off the mortgages to Mrs. ' Somers.
I secured a position In Aberdeen and
went there to work. I received no notice
that the mortgages had been cancelled, so
I wrote Mrs. Somers and asked her about
it, and stated that If no sale could be
made by the Portland Business Agency I
would be glad to turn over to her the
bill of sale for the place. My reply was
a detective who has brought me back
under arrest."

BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
ALL that any well regulated orches
tra has to do is to strike up "A
Dainty Little Ingenue," and every, man
jack in the audience agrees that things
are perfectly lovely at home and else
where, and that nothing matters much
except that a real musical comedy is in
town. That Is the effect 'Woodland" has
on the normal and otherwise staid and
sensible citizen. The piece comes as near
having no thread of plot at all as the
newest wife of a trust magnate does of
having no compunctions. Anyone at
tempting to discover a plot in "Wood
land" would probably be committed for
the rest of his natural life. It is the
gauziest musical comedy that ever came
out of Chicago, and yet that dear old
Dutch orchestra leader, Gus Luders. has
written so many sparkling tunes Into the
score that all whp are not stone deaf
want to two-step during the entire two
hours and a half that the show lasts.
Portland demonstrated a good while
ago that it was right fond of the piece,
and last night at the Heilig, when it tried
its airs and graces on a local audience,
the first impression was deepened.
"Woodland' is essentially a, musical en
tertainment, for the wit of the lines Is
near humor, and the story, as has been
intimated, could not get by more than
half a lap if It were not that about the
time one begins to yawn at the silliness
of the book 'and lyrics the orchestration
begins again and some one starts to sing
without a struggle that Is apparent from
the front of the house. It is doubtful if
any 'current theatrical attraction has
been responsible for so many installment
solos on Installment pianos as this one.
Almost every parlor entertainer In the
land has one time or another attempted
to vamp selections from It, and while no
one has ever found out what it is about,
everybody likes the music.
The present company Is aces up so far
as the women members are concerned,
but it limps badly on the masculine side.
The feminine contingent arrives with
bells, and perhaps by Its very excellence
puts the mere men on the side-track with
the signals down on them.
Harry Benham, however, proves him
self several degrees above mediocrity, for
he possesses a capital voice and sings the
Robin Redbreast numbers mighty well.
That for the men.
Mary Qulve, who has the feature role
of Miss Nightingale, is entitled to a large
part of the credit for the show's success,
for she uses her really beautiful voice
to great advantage and is Withal so fasci
nating a person that she compels ap
plause. Hazel Cox and Leila Smith as
Prince Eagle and Jenny Wren, respec
tively are delightful and the chorus
works hard and effectively.
The Savage hallmark Is always more
or less of a guaranty and in this instance
the Boston manager has done his reputa
tion full justice. In point of costuming
and scenic embellishment "Woodland" is
completely satisfying. There are at least
a dozen hits among the musical num
bers, all of which adjust themselves to
the whistles of the gallery, and that's the
surest test. Whenever the boys join the
chorus there Is nothing to it but to put
up the "suocess" signs.
I'm so sure you'll like "Woodland" that
I .can recommend it with a clear con
science. It will be at the Heilig until
Saturday night, with a Saturday matinee.
STABBING AT THE BARRACKS
GEORGE KOXKLIX SEVERELY
CUT BY JAMES PROOD.
Quarrel Starts at Mess Table Be
cause of Scarcity of Sugarbowls.
Injured Man May Die.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Jan. 2.
(Special.) As a result of a row which
took place in the quarters of Company . I,
of the Fourteenth Infantry, this morning,
Private George Konklln. of Company I,
is lying in the Post Hospital perhaps
fatally wounded, and his assailant. Pri
vate James J. Prood, is held a prisoner
In the barracks guardhouse.
The trouble started in the mess over a
scarcity of sugar bowls, and it is said
that Prood followed Konklln to quarters,
where the quarrel was renewed. The
men finally came to blows. Prood drew
a knife and cut his opponent fearfully
about the head and in the side.
With the blood streaming from the
wound in his side, Konklln staggered into
the orderly-room. As he sank to the
floor, he said. "Boys. Prood stabbed me
and I guess I'm all in," and he swooned
away. As Konklln fell to the floor,
Prood entered the orderly-room by a rear
door in time to hear the wounded man's
remark. "Well, I told him I would get
him," he said.
Prood was arrested and taken to the
guardhouse. A strict watch Is being
kept over him and he is not permitted to
be seen.
Konklin was taken to the hospital,
where his wounds were attended. He is
badly cut about the head and a knife
wound four inches long entered the left
lung. The injured lung has collapsed and
the man. though very low, has some
chance of recovery.
The men were both members of the
Fourteenth Infantry, and would have
sailed for the Philippine Islands this
morning.

Council tonight Mayor' Carll recommends
the enactment of an ordinance providing
for fire escapes, the removal of telegraph
and telephone poles from the business
district, and the enforcement of the law
relating to the frequenting of saloons by
women and. minors. He advocates the
passage of ait ordinance to abolish sa

the idea that every vagrant found in the

DOW GETS EVEN WITH MOORE
Will Run for Mayor of Seattle Is
Strong With Labor Support.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 2. (Special.)
Matthew Dow created consternation in
the ranks of the supporters of Mayor
Moore today when the man who. It is
alleged, was jobbed by the Mayor two
years ago filed a declaration of his in
tention to run for Mayor on the city party
ticket, the same ticket on which Mayor
Moore Is going to the primaries for a
nomination. The city party is the Munici
pal Ownership party under a new name
and is composed largely of the labor ele
ment. Dow is a contractor who stands
high with the labor organizations and he
also has many friends among the party
leaders. The announcement of Dow's
candidacy is the worst blow that has been
dealt the Moore ambition since the cam
paign got under way, for Dow, among
other qualifications, is a Republican, and
this gives him further advantage in the
party which the present Mayor has fondly
believed to be his without question. .
