FOWLER CURRENCY BILL Portland Business Man Strongly Writes in Its Favor. PORTLAND. Jan. II. To the Editor.) 1 observe that The Oreronian tot-quite favor ably inclined toward the Fowler currency btU. As usual. I believe that The Oregon ian Is rlffht on the financial question. The ec tian of the Fowler bill whkh created a sink ing fund to guarantee the deporlts of all Na tional banks la certainly a splendid feature and one which will tend very largely to. erad icate panics. The clause in the bill which permits the is uing of currency equal to the capital stock of the bank In time when there is a strin gency In the money market also appeals very strongly to my Judgment. I presume that some private or state banks may pos sibly raise objections, but, bow easy and cheap ft will be for private banks to national ize. The first requisite of any bill should be to absolutely guarantee all deposits, so that the widows and laboring men cannot possibly lose the money that they have laboriou3iy saved for the rainy day. I highly approve of the cartoons in The Oreonian this morning which showed the "rotten" decisions in both the Schaiitx and wife-beating cases. This note is only intended to chow our ap preciation of the wise course The Oregon ian ts advocating. H. G. THOMPSON. At the Theaters What tbe Press Agents Say. 'THE MAX OF THE HOUR" Much Talked-About. Play at Heilig Tonight and Remainder of Week. At Heilig Theater, Fourteenth and Wash ington streets, tonight and all week, with special-price matinees Wednesday and Sat urday, William A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer's production of George Broadhurst's new piay, "The Man of the Hour," will b the attraction. While George Broadhurst, the playwright, L-s taken for bis theme certain conditions which exist in every large city, still there is said to be interwoven la "The Man of the Hour" a delightful love story. The plot, in brief, concerns a young millionaire who has been refused by his sweetheart" because he has "done nothing worthy." Be then enters politics and is elected Mayor of his city. "DOOMSDAY" ; ;IO,000 BEAUTY" Combination of Attraction at the ' Marquam Tonight. One of the most unique and attractive musical shows that has ever visited Portland- is the Lewis and Lake production of the musical cocktail "A $10, 0M) Beauty," introducing the added attraction "Dooms day." The airs are catchy, the comedy amusing, tbe chorus clever with, their voices and their feet and the costumes and scenery very line. You can't beat the Marquam show this week for first-class, clean amuse ment. Matinee Wednesday. "THE OTHER GIRL" AT BAKER Augustus Thomas' Comedy an In stantaneous Success. Augustus Thomas has written many of the greatest successes of the time, but in - the strictly comedy class his "The Q,ther. Girl," which is being produced for the first time in Portland at the Baker this .week, is the best thing he ever did. It is original In theme, striking In character and filled to the brim with action, climax after climax following each other in rapid succession. A Texas Outlaw" at the Empire. Two big audiences saw "The Texas Out law," which opened for the week at the Empire yesterday afternoon and last night, and in the way of thrills and excitement certainly got their money's worth. The Eckhard Company, which is presenting the piece, . is composed of melodramatic people of wide experience and ability, and they made the scenes and characters extremely realistic. "The White Caps." "The White Caps," the play at the Star Theater this week. Is founded on the fa mous Goebel murder in Kentucky and the night riders, who are now terrorizing the btate. it is one of the best melodramas that the French stock company has given during Its engagement in this city. The play gives a better insight into conditions in Kentucky today than even the press dis patches. Matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. "The Land of the Midnight Sun." An extraordinary offering will be pre sented by the Allen stock company for this week, commencing tonight, when Hall Caine's tremenrous drama of Icelandic life, "The Land of the Midnight Sun," will com mence a week's run.

Cordray Revive the Scheme. John F. Cordray, the well-known thea trical manager, is expected to return to Portland soon to supervise the drafting of plans for converting the Holman build ing, on the nortneast ' corner of Grand avenue and East "Washington street, into a modern playhouse. Arrangements were made some time ago by which this build ing was to have been secured for this purpose and the alterations would have been under way by this time had not the financial flurry caused a postponement. It is now proposed to take up the matter again. The capitalists interested, among whom are J. M. Healy and W. L. Mor gan, have decided to rush the work. Nothing can be done, however, until Mr. Cordray returns and gives advice as to remodeling the Holman building, his prac tical experience being essential. The Holman brick- is 50x70 feet in size and three stories high. It Is proposed to extend the building so it will be 100 feet long on East Washington street and front 50 feet on Grand avenue. It will be neces sary to remodel the whole building to convert it into a theater. It is estimated that the work will cost J25.000. The build ing when converted will seat practically as many people as the Marquam Grand. The location is considered ideal, being nearly half way between East Morrison and East Burnside streets on Grand ave nue, within easy reach of all car lines in Portland. How soon Mr. Cordray will return is not yet known, but probably some time during the present month. Those in terested in the theater decided Saturday to proceed with the enterprise, and Man ager Cordray has been notified. HELP FOR UNEMPLOYED Associated Charities Again Slakes Appeal for Subscriptions. POUTLAND, Jan. 12. (To the Editor.) Referring to The Oregon fan's editorial. "A Simple Solution," allow me to add sugges tions aa to the difficulty of applying- the remedy. The Associated Charities, from 20 years' experience, is skilled In finding work, but It cannot now find even country work for all its men. Let any country work at any living ware offer itself and the men are ready or will be made ready. This should be made as public as possible, for we have hundreds of men, some with families, who need work. ' We also need money. In 3 893-4. when a similar condition prevailed amongst work ing men, our subscribers cheerfully doubled their subscriptions; but this year, there is apparent in many quarters a strong dispo sition to adopt the policy of "each man take care of himself and the devil take the hindmost," and to economize by cutting off charities. Now, as has been well said, the impulse In hard times to economize by cutting off charities Is, in its essence, ex actly the same Impulse that a strong man has In a sinking ship to make a rush for the life-boats, trampling over women and children on the way. It is safety and comfort for oneself at any cost, and should be strongly resisted. I think, however, that the difference in 1S9-I and the present t!me Is due largely to the fact that in 1894 the City Board of Charities, being new to the work. was forced to allow the men to roam the streets in hungry mobs for some little time, and this brought the situation clearly be fore the eyes of the people. This year, everything has been orderly from tha be ginning. Knowing what was coming, every possible preparation was made in advance. All possible reserves were called in and the very perfection of the work has prevented the public from appreciating Its serious ness but. It Is serious. For years past, laborers hae been brought by tralnloads into this Northwest country. Two months ago they were discharged en masse and about 13,000 ordinary laborers at the beginning of a hard Winter were thrown out of employment, and Portland pays only the natural penalty of her metro politan position In having them drift to her for hela. In considering this attitude of a portion of the business public, the oddest part in connection with It is that our business men are more scared than hurt. The shia isn"t sinking and has hardly been "bumped." All of our financial institutions are declaring their usual dividend. For the first time in its official life, the Associated Charities has been lately again and attain advised to be "hard-hearted." Let it be understood once for all. that it refuses to be hard-hearted or to snare a single dollar that It deems necessary to expend for the best interests of its unfortu nate dependents. It is rapidly using up its little reserves, and has no connection with the city and no pull on public funds. It depends entirely on private subscriptions. It will go on spending to its last dollar, get ting work for men and help for the helo less, but there will be no frenzied finance. When it3 last dollar ts reached, it will stop. THOMAS N. STRONG.

LAST "SPECIAL" IS OUJ Police Chief Strips W. C. Morgan of His Star. William C. Morgan, the city's last re maining special policeman, at the request of Chief of Police Gritzmacher, has turned In his keys and star to the head of the department and will no longer be recog nized as a special. One morning last week. Patrolman Barzee, who walks a beat covering the same territory as that patroled by Morgan, came upon the latter lying in the gutter on Sixth street, and on investigating found that he was drunk. Barzee took the inebriated officer homj, then reported the matter to Chief Gritz macher, with the result that Morgan was called upon to turn in his tools.
