Accused by an old man of robbing him of his over coat, Mike O'Brien was arrested last night at Third and Pine streets, by Pa trolman Wanless and taken to the police station. The man was pointed out to the officer by James Grossnickle, who as serted that O'Brien had approached him in a saloon a short time -before and, grabbing his overcoat from his arm. threatening to knock him down if he resisted, disappeared through the rear door. After walking about on the street a short time, he saw O'Brien and called the officer. Grossnickle. who is over SO and very feeble, said he had just ar rived from Greely, Colo., and had been in the city but a few hours when the rob bery occurred. O'Brien was held to ap pear this morning before Judge Cameron. Says Husband Stole Money. Dr. G. U. Snapp. a physician who has resided for a number of years in Newberg.

She alleges that about two weeks ago she gave Dr. Snapp this sum of money with the understanding that it was to be used in buying her a home. According to her story, neither the property nor themoney was given her. Boys Go to the Circus. H. S. Rowe, of Norris & Rowe's circus, entertained 24 boys from the Juvenile Court Detention Home yesterday at the circus.

Why, the most beautiful horse without a good driver will run away." Closing Concert of the Arion Society THE last concert for the season of the Arion Society, held last night at Arion Hall, brought out a large audi ence. The soloists were Herr Marquardt, violinist; Frau Marquardt, harpist, and Miss Louise Hagner, pianist. As an open ing number, the Arion Male Choir of 40 voices gave pleasingly Frohllches Wan dern, Opus 69, by Carl Aug. Berg, with Herr Louis Dammasch, directing. This was the first opportunity of hear ing the celebrated Herr and Frau Mar quardt, who, since the San Francisco earthquake, have been concertlzing around the world with marked success. In Herr Marquardt's violin solos. Faust Fantasie, Beethoven's Romance and the "Spinning Song," by Lotto, he displayed excellent technique, enormous breadth of tone, intricate bowing, and a masterly quietness. Frau Marquardt. who is the proud pos sessor of one of the most beautiful harps in the country, with a wonderfully pure tone, played, several numbers and was received with enthusiasm. Though not generally known, the pianissimo and fort issimo passages of harp music is not in fluenced by pedals,' but It is entirely the manipulation of the hands, and therefore difficult. Frau Marquardt's work shows a vast amount of temperament, clear technique and strength of tone. Par ticularly charming was her rendition of the Zabel's "Cascades," an imitation of a waterfall. As a finale, a violin solo, Ava Maria, was given by Herr Marquardt. The sec ond verse was made more effective by the, harp accompaniment, full of difficult ar,ggios. The piano solos of Miss Hag ner showed temperament and splendid technique and called forth several en cores. SERVICE AS GOOD AS ANY General Manager Fuller Says Street car Lines Are Up to Pate. F. I. Fuller, vice-president and general manager of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co.. has returned from a trip through the Bast and to his old home in Rhode Island. He said yesterday that he made a careful investigation of the streetcar service in the various cities ho visited during his five weeks' absence and came home convinced that Portland has no reason to take a back seat when it comes to considering either the equip ment or character of service of the streetcar companies. Mr. Fuller said: "I met President Josselyn in St. Louis, on my way home, and we conferred re garding what I had observed on my trip. An order was placed with the American Car Works at St. Louis for 26 new cars of the most modern typo. 20 for the city roads and five for the O. W. P. This additional equipment will be delivered about September and the cars will vbe slightly longer than those now in use. "I found that in several of the Eastern cities cars are in use of the type we discarded some years ago, for instance the kind formerly in use on Washington street. I consider Portland at the top, or near the top. when It comes to streetcar equipment and service, compared with cities of the country of similar impor tance. A good deal of talk is heard here regarding the condition of the streets. I want to say that our streets compare very favorably with those of most cities I visited. Lots of them are much worse than ours. "As regards business conditions, we are better off than the cities of the East. Especially In manufacturing centers, there is a pronounced dullness and in many places factories are idle. I came home more convinced than ever that we have the best place in the country in which to live."

Committees Are Appointed for Pur pose of Making Good Showing in the Rose Festival Pageant. Both the Riverside Driving Club and the Portland Hunt Club will take part in the big street parade of the Rose Fes tival, which is to take place on Thurs day morning, June 4, at 10 o'clock. This parade will be made up of floral deco rated vehicles, competitive floats and equestrian clubs, and the foregoing or ganizations are planning to make their entries the nucleus of the' most imposing spectacle of the entire week's celebra tion. A joint meeting of special committees of the Hunt Club and the Driving Club was held at the Portland Hotel last Thursday night, and as a result the matter was brought up before each of the individual organizations. The first step was taken by T. S. Mc Grath, president of the Portland Hunt Club, a few days ago, when he appointed the following committee to take full charge of the arrangements for the ap pearance of the club in the spectacular pageant: A. M. Cronin, A. S. Roth well, J. Wesley Ladd and E. T. Chase. The following letter was sent by Mr. McGrath yesterday to each member of the club, including the 60 members of the Junior Hunt Club: The club will take an active part in the parades of the Portland Rose Festival and will do everything it can to make the event a great success. A committee composed of Messrs. A. M. Cronin. A. S. Rothwell. J. Wesley Ladd and E.. T. Chase has been ap pointed to make all necessary arrangements, and it is earnestly hoped each member will do his utmost to make our division the best part of the carnival. T. S. McGRATH, President. Even before this communication had been sent out a number of the members of the Hunt Club had brought their horses into town to prepare them for the Festival .parade, and others are doing the same. The special committee is now at work devising some special design for the decoration and embellishment of mounts. The Riverside Driving Club met last night and President W. A. Laidlaw ap pointed the following committee to have full charge of the driving association's part in the competitive street parade: Dr. A. C. Froom. Al. Powell. Henry Tillman, N. M. McDaniel and Mr. Reig. Resolu tions were passed at the meeting to the effect that the association shall take part In the parade as a body and not as in dividuals. This will bring out the entire organization of the club. This afternoon at 4 o'clock a meeting of - the committees of the Riverside Driv ing Association, the Portland Hunt Club and the general parade committee will be held at the rooms of the Hunt Club. 229 Lumber Exchange building, and fur ther plans will be considered. W. M. Davis, chairman of the general parade committee, has written a letter to Mayor Lam? and to the Executive Board. a.king them to permit the fire depart ment to enter In the competitive lists. Master Fish Warden McAllister, who is also chairman of the water carnival committee, will send out this morning a circular letter to the owners of all craft plying In local waters, urging, them to, enter their boats in the Venetian Carni val, which is to be held on Wednesday night, June 3. DROPS JAPANESE SERVANTS Manager of Hotel Lenox Replaces Them With White Help. Another of Portland's hotels has dis pensed with Japanese servants, the latest added to the list is the Hotel Lenox. Manager C. W. Bennett, on Saturday night, discharged all of the Japanese ser vants and has. installed white help throughout. Manager Bennett, in speak ing or ma retirement of the Japanese, said that it was not because of any feel ing he has against the little brown men. "I dropped them because I believe the guests can be better served by Ameri cans," he said. "A Japanese can readily understand what is wanted of him when he is inclined and wants to .understand, but when he doesn't want to he Just won't and that's all. When I came to the Lenox all the help, from cook to 'bell boys, were Japanese. Now the servants are all Americans. I was always heartily in favor of employing American help in preference to foreigners, any way." DRUNKARD AT DRY MEETING Trouble-Maker Is Finally Ejected hy Mayor Lane While Deputy District Attorney Adams, representing a client, was in the midst of some "dry" humor, dur ing a session of the City Water Board yesterday afternoon, a disturbance was noted in the rear of the crowded room. Mayor Lane at first twisted uneasily in his chair, being the presiding offi cer, hardly knowing what action to take. However, the din grew louder and proved to be the mouthings of a drunken man., who fancied he had a grievance against the Board. Mr. Adams had just explained how urgent it was that the Board grant his client water at once, it being in a "dry" district, he said, for two rea sons. First, Mr. Adams said, the peo ple voted the precinct "'dry" at the last Flower Sale!

The man with the excess supply of liquor In the meantime kept up his babblings, and began threatening1 Mayor Lane and the members of the Board. "You'll have to keep still, or go out in the back yard," said Mayor Lane, sternly, but it did not suffice. Mayor Lane then arose and left the room for a moment, returning with Policeman Carr, who patrols the City Hall. The officer was ordered by the Mayor to "waft that troubled fellow out into a place where talking does no harm," and the order was fulfilled. The drunken individual gave the name of G. C. Strow. BUNCO MEN ARE ARRESTED Police Capture Three Accomplished Performers as They Reach City. Three notorious bunco artists were ar rested yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Ste vens, Deputy Sheriff Leonard and Patrol man Goltz. The trio had arrived in the city only a short time before and were picked up before having an opportunity to operate here. Some local or rural person with more money than inteligence would be enjoying less wealth and more sense by this time, no doubt, but for the timely arrest of the bunco men. They were prepared for active service on a large scale, having marked decks, flash rolls and fictitious checks for lange amounts. One check was for J17.0UO, but, of course, was not worth the papr it was written on. The prisoners are: Tony Johnson, alias John Thompson: Walter Kinyon and Frank Hart. They drifted into town with the circus. Johnson has been in the toils here before. His photo adorns the rogues' gallery. Hart is known to have operated in other Coast cities, while the third man Is believed to be a beginner. Bach was provided with a marked deck of cards, checks for large amounts, and flash rolls of money. Johnson had a roll of currency of substantial proportions in his possession. There appeared to be several thousand dollars at least, but ex amination revealed that his total wealth consisted of six Jl bills convincingly wrapped about a wad of colored paper. MAKE COREA INDEPENDENT Ito S-ays Japan Wants to Make Her Only Strong Ally. SEOUL, Mty 12. The false report that Prince Ito was about to remove the Em peror to Japan has revived unrest in this country and has called forth a statement by Prince Ito to the Associated Press in which he says: "There has never been the slightest thought of removing the Emperor or the court; in fact, this is absolutely opposed to my ideas of administration. The country has never known independence, but has been under the control of pro vincial and local governments, which for many hundreds of years have proved in efficient and never had the confidence of the people, whom they squeezed unmerci fully. I am seeking to put Corea in a position to qualify for real Independence, and assure you In all earnestness that my policy is honestly prompted by my great desire to make Corea a strong and In dependent ally of Japan. "I believe that this is a surely possible achievement, and the senseless interior opposition should cease its propaganda abroad, which is useless because it Is con ducted by misrepresentation.
