Invitb Gipst Smith to Cm. At the
meeting of the Ministerial Association
held yesterday morning In the Y. la. C.
A. Chapel, a resolution was passed, after
considerable discussion, Inviting Gipsy
Smith, the noted English evangelist, to
visit Portland on his next visit to Amer
ica. Dr. Clarence True Wilson expressed
the opinion that the revivals conducted
by traveling evangelists are of little value
to the church and referred to the visit
of Dr. Wilbur F. Chapman two years
ago, which cost the churches of the city
12.000, not counting night collections. Dr.
Wilson said the tendency to do mission
ary work by proxy was wrong, the evan
gelist bringing a sort of religious excite
ment which departs with him. Dr. Ed
ward M. Sharp, of the Mount Tabor Pres
byterian Church, replied to Dr. Wilson,
speaking In behalf of the evangelists, and
at the conclusion of his remarks the res
olution Inviting Gipsy Smith to visit
Portland was passed, only two members
voting against it.

Wht Portland Was Left Out. Com
menting upon the report of real estate
values recently issued by the Seattle Real
Estate Association, in which Portland is
not mentioned, although other Pacific
Coast cities are. Secretary Stone. -of the
local Y. M. C. A., said yesterday that
It was probably the fault of the local real
estate men themselves that the statistics
of the city relative to property values
were not Included In the report. "I re
ceived a communication from Mr. Ers
kin," said he, "asking me to refer it to
some prominent real estate firm of Port
land with the request that this firm for
ward figures. I do not care to name the
firm which I gave the letter, but It is
evident that the figures did not reach Mr.
Erskln at Seattle. It Is probable that
figures giving property values in Portland
had been asked for from local real estate
men before I received the letter. The
local business men may have been justi
fied, however, In not forwarding figures,
for it may have been that the Seattle
Real Estate Association asked such ques
tions as to values per foot for the highest
priced piece of business property, In
which case Seattle would show up better
than Portland, while If the value of all
the business property were asked for,
Portland would lead."
Not Guiltt, Sats Smith. A new mar
ket has been opened on the west side of
the Smith Meat Co. Some of the Smith
Meat Co.'s customers have been led to
believe it was "all the same as Smith's."
This Is a serious mistake. When you are
looking for Smith's, avoid this new mar
ket as well as all the other markets
around about. Smith has only one en
trance, 228 Alder street the name is over
the door. Smith is cutting the same
ideally choice' class of beef that proved
such a record-breaker during the holiday
season and he is charging only 3c to
12V4C per pound. Fancy a prime rib roast
that is perfection Itself for only 10c per
pound. Oregon pig pork at Smith's from
Be to 15c per pound has a wonderfully fine
flavor, while the Beef Trust's frozen pork
Is a disgrace to our city; and their home
made hams at 15c and fancy sugar-cured
breakfast bacon at 17.jc go ahead of any
thing that can be brought in from the
East. Visit the fish department, the best
and freshest fish in the city.
Nioht por Business Men. C. A. Big
low, president of the East Side Business
Men's Club, said yesterday that arrange
ments were being made to have a busi
ness men's night at the poultry show,
which will be open tomorrow at Grand
avenue and East Alder street, under the
auspices of the Oregon Poultry Asso
ciation. The night has not yet been set,
but it is expected that many business
men will attend. This is In line with the
plan adopted at the last meeting of the
club when it was decided to do all pos
sible to make the show a success. The
building in which the show will be held
Is ready for the exhibits. The coops and
quarters for the poultry are In place to
receive the birds, and the indications are
that the show will be the best the asso
ciation has held. There will be a large
number of entries In the first poultry
In the Northwest and those who visit the
show will see what has been accomplished
in the development of high-grade poul
try in the Northwest.
Architects' Exhibit Open. Responses
to nearly every one of the -200 Invitations
sent out for the opening of the first an
nual exhibit of the Portland Architect
ural Club were noted last night at the
Museum of Fine Arts. Many of the prom
inent people of the city were In attend
ance and the opening proved an auspic
ious event The exhibit was completed,
the various entries being artistically
placed on walls and vantage points. In
all, 500 pieces were shown and these
served to fill the two upper galleries. The
lighting arrangements and general plac
ing of drawings and architectural acces
sories were excellent. Not only the best
work of local architects, but that of many
of the best in the country, was shown.
The exhibit is as Interesting as exten
sive and is bound to stimulate interest in
better architecture hereafter. Until Jan
uary 18 the exhibition will be open to the
public at large.
Woman Shoots at Burglar. Through
the nervousness of Mrs. D. G. Ross, who
lives on St. Louis avenue, Montavllla,
the burglar she shot at Sunday night
made his escape. At 9:30 o'clock, Mrs.
Ross was awakened by somebody mov
ing about the house on the lower floor.
She took up a revolver and started out
of the bedroom to look for the burglar.
She had a lamp in one hand and pistol
In the other, and as she reached the head
of the stairway, the burglar, seeing the
light, ran for the front door. It did not
occur to her to fire until the burglar
reached the steps. Her shot missed him.
The burglar had ransacked the lower
portion of the house before Mrs. Ross
was aroused, but secured nothing of
value.
Comment on Club Work. In an ad
dress delivered at the regular meeting of
the board of governors of the Portland
Commercial Club, held yesterday. Presi
dent C. W. Hodson referred to the work
of the club during the past year In ad
vertising this state. "The work of the
club." said Mr. Hodson, "In inducing im
migration in connection with the state
body the Oregon Development League,
brought results that were phenomenal,
and this, campaign will continue during
1908. Weekly letters are sent to all the
newspapers printed In the states of Ore
gon and Washington and the clippings
from this work embrace thousands of
pages, frequently running as high as 600
columns a month.

streets, for permitting a female under

of Celia Holmes, was also arrested. Both
women were locked up.

decided yesterday afternoon to propose a
Joint meeting with the police committee
of the Executive Board, at which a site
is to be selected for the proposed East

ing considerably in cost. It was. there
fore, thought wise for both committees
to discuss these before the city buys.

Auctioneers Refused Licenses. Mu
nicipal Judge Cameron appeared before
the general license committee of - the
Council yesterday afternoon and sought
as counsel the renewal of a license for
L. Mazarousky. who formerly conducted
an auction-house at 28SH First street. The
applicant la the man to whom Mayor
Lane recently referred In a Council meet
ing as being a "beat, a cheat and a ras
cal." The license was, therefore, not
granted. A vote on the matter yesterday
resulted in sustaining the former potion,
but the matter will come before the Coun
cil again on a minority report.
The Transgressors" at
the Lyric
T HE TRANSGRESSORS." a play
E written and . first essayed" by
Ralph Stuart, the popular player
actor, who recently appeared at the
Hellig in "Strongheart," is the vehicle
with which the Allen stock company
delighted two large audiences at the
Lyric Theater yesterday.
The play Is a tragedy dealing with
the life of an actor who, at the height
of a successful career as a star, mar
ries an ambitious woman who possesses
no love for him but merely a desire to
shine as a footlight favorite, hoping to
attain prominence through her hus
band's standing. Her indifference
causes the star to take to drink to
such an extent that his wealthy rela
tives,, who fear that he will squander
his fortune, take steps to have him de
clared Insane, and on learning of this,
together with a realization that his
wife loathes him, he leaves off a suc
cessful career and becomes a wander
ing slave to liquor.
In presenting the famous Stuart suc
cess the Allen stock company deserves
the highest commendation for the
capable manner In which they portray
the characters. Were they of Identical
build, one could almost imagine Rupert
Drum as Ralph Stuart himself In the
emotional part of Myron Langdale, for
Drum essays the role of -the wronged
husband most acceptably. He Is a
strong emotional actor and tha scene
In the second act, where he comes upon
his son after years of absence, and Is
recognized by the boy tn spite of his
tattered appearance, is really a clever
piece of acting.
Undoubtedly the greatest surprise In
store for the Lyric patrons is Miss
Verna Felton, hitherto ingenue of the
company, who displays her histrionic
talent most cleverly while cast In the
role of Mrs. Langdale, the unfaithful
and ambitious wife. The wife com
mits suicide, thereby removing the ob
stacle to the marriage of her husband
and Laura Talbot, splendidly played by
Miss Marie Thompson, who succeeds to
the role of a new success in which
Mrs. Langdale has proven a failure.
Miss Felton proves herself a most
adaptable actress in this trying role.
Another treat in store for the
patrons of this popular price show
house is Miss Ella Houghton, cast in
a dual role, a diminutive little fairy
like actress, who has made good at this,
her first serious effort on the stage.
This clever young woman is a Port
land girl, and heretofore has essayed
supernumerary roles, and In her first
long-speaking part Is a decided hit.
Mr. Kennedy, as the villain, and Forrest-
Seabury, as the friend of Lang
dale, are all that could be asked, and
the same may be said of the rest of
the company.
"The Transgressors" will hold the
boards for the rest of the week, in
cluding Sunday, and Is well worth
while.
Grease paints and professionals' supplies
at Woodard. Clarke & Co.
At the Vaudeville Theaters
Grand.
THE) Grand Theater this week offers
two top-line attractions, and In
dwelling on the merits of them it would
be hard to select the most attractive,
for the usual first performance crowds
were equally well pleased,- Judging from
the liberality of the applause.
Taking them in the order of their ap
pearance, Preston Kendall. America's
foremost protean actor, as he is billed,
enacts a full-fledged play with 11 charac
ters all alone. It is really a most stal
ling exhibition of the possibilities of a
lightning-change artist, for during his act
Kendall changes costume, wigs, and even
facial adornment of colored greases, 11
times, and the changes are made so rap
idly that almost instantaneously after
one character leaves the stage another
appears. As an actor he Is also good,
and the little playlet entitled "Across the
Lines" is a wartime theme, and was en
thusiastically received by the large at
tendance at the three performances.
The Onetti Sisters, a quartet of female
acrobats, who perform numerous and
thrilling feats on the suspension bars, is
the other headline attraction, and their
work Is even more enthusiastically re
ceived than the preceding act. The aerial
feats of the quartet comprise many new
and equally, difficult turns, and by many
Is said to surpass the team which ap
peared at the theater several weeks ago.
One of the best singing and dancing
turns presented at any of the local
vaudeville houses for many moons is con
tributed by Jack and Bertha Rich. The
tumbling act of the Brothers De Van and
their dog succeeded In pleasing all. It is
a clever act, and something out of the
ordinary. A comedy and singing act by
Charles Jacklln and Gertrude Lang elicits
many laughs, and Joe Thompson contrib
utes his portion of the programme with
the illustrated song "Captain Baby Bunt
ing." The moving pictures depict a
Christmas series of accidents and res
cues, which are well worth straining the
eyes to witness.
Pantages.
A TRIO of comedy acrobats, asslsteS
In the most striking manner by a
number of dogs. Is the features of the
offering at the Pantages Theater this
week. The troupe is billed as the Velde
Trio and their "loop the loop" dogsr and
the latter feature' may be rightly set
down rs the scintillating part of their
performance-' Two of the clever canines
perform a loop-the-loop act In a manner
that proves highly entertaining to the
patrons of the popular Fourth-street
showhouse. Aside from the performance
of the dogs, the two women and the man
possess dancing and acrobatic talent of
no mean order. -
In featuring this novelty act It Is not
meant to take any credit away from Tim
Cronin. -for, from a laugh-producing
standpoint, he Is the hit of the show.
Cronin Is a comedian of the droll offler.
He sings, something unusual for a funny
man. rather decently, and In springing
his long assortment of jokes, some of
which are not so ancient that they of
fend, he is really most pleasing. His
song travesty, "Every Little Bit Added
to What You've Got Makes Just a Little
Bit More," brings forth most emjjhatic
demonstrations of approval. For a real,
unadulterated tonic for a fit of the blues,
see Cronin. He can cure deep-rooted
corns or the worst case of dyspepsia
known to medical science.
An acrobatic turn deserving of mention
is contributed by Bert Page. Fred Bauer
sings "In After Years When I Am Old."
accompanied by illustrations, in a most
pleasing manner. Coccia and Amato con
stitute a team of fancy novelty dancers
whose act is capably rendered. In addi
tion to displaying a few new and fancy
steps In th terpslchorean art, they ren
der a laughable skit entitled "The Mixer
and the Maid," that elicits hearty laugh
ter. Phyllis Allen is truly billed "A Re
markable Contralto." Her song, together
with the Inevitable encore, are quite ac
ceptable, and forms a pleasing contrast to
the rest of the programme, which Is prin
cipally composed of acrobatics.
"Father and His New Hand Roller" Is
the subject of the laugh-producing pic
tures displayed by the biograph. Don't
miss the Pantages bill this week. It Is
better than ordinary.

A. H. Metcalf reported a representative

A MODERN PAGANINl.
Jan Knbelik WJns High Praise as
a Violinist.
The world-famous violinist, Jan Ku
belik, will give his first concert at the
Helllg Theater, Fourteenth and Wash
ington streets, next Thursday evening,
January 9, and the second on Saturday
afternoon, January 11. Two entirely
different programme's will be given.
Seats are selling for both at the the
ater. The Salt Lake Herald of January S
has the following review of the Kn
belik concert:
"Jan Kubelik has been called Pag
anini reincarnated. Had Kubelik lived
In the Middle Ages the same legend
that has risen about that mediaeval
wizard of the violin would probably
now be told of Kubelik. Of Paganinl
It was said that he had formed a com
pact with the devil whereby he had
sold his soul for all eternity for the
power to master all mankind while on
earth with the magic music of his
violin. Those who heard Kubellk's
rendition of the Immortal fantasie from
Paganinl at his concert last evening
might easily give credence to the me
diaeval tradition concerning its com
poser. "Kubelik was at his best last eve
ning, and his concert pleased not only
the audience but himself, for Jan Ku
belik is his own severest critic.
"It has been said that there has been
but one Ysaye. It Is also true that
there Is but one Kubelik, and Kubelik
Is Just as great In his class as Ysaye
Is in his. Ysaye has the soul, while
Kubelik has the romance and the bril
liant execution."
SEEK ADMITTANCE TO CITY
Annexation Chief Question in Sev
eral Portland Suburbs.
Annexation Is the principal question
that is being discussed in the district ad
joining the city, a territory which em
braces sections 7, 8, 17 and 18, and the
settlements along the Mount Scott Rail
way as far as Gray's crossing. It like
wise embraces Woodstock. Ivanhoe, Tre
mont and Woodmere. It is estimated
that the population In this territory
ranges from 10.000 to 15,000. Petitions ad
dressed to the Council are being circu
lated In the territory to secure the re
quired 15 per cent of voters. It is ex
pected that enough signatures will be ob
tained to submit the matter to the Coun
cil, which has the power to order a vote
on the question at the June election.
The leaders of the annexation move
ment say they will hold no more public
meetings until the Council decides wheth
er It will authorize a vote at the June
election. If an election is ordered, the
real fight will begin. So far there has
been no agitation for annexation of any
suburb In Portland, the discussion being
confined to the districts themselves. The
discussion -has -become -very warm, espe
cially at the settlements along the Mount
Scott Railway.
