GOGORZA AT THE" HEILIG
Spanish Baritone Will Appear In
Song Recital Thursday.
One of the numbers on Gogorxa's
programme foj his recital tomorrow
night is the notable "Aria de Thoas"
from Gluck's last great work. "Iphi
genie en Taurlde." This aria is Inter
esting to the students of great music
because of Its proof that Gluck had
broken away from all the rules which
restricted the writing of operatic arias
In his day. It was the "Iphlgenle"
opera that stilled the clamor of Gluek'a
critics and drove his rival. Puccini,
away from Paris. It la an extremely
beautiful song- and In Gogorza's glor
ious voice Is doubly attractive.
The remainder of the programme la
no less absorbing and espjclal Interest
attaches to Gogorxa's giving of the
group of Spanish songs, which he sings
with such exquisite tenderness. The
recital is under the direction of Lois
Steers-Wynn Coman and will begin at
the Hellig theater at 8:S0.

DEAD MAN IS DEFENDANT
Papers Filed Before Attorneys Learn
of Prahl's Deuth. , .
OREGON CITT, Or.. Oct. 27. (Special.)
It is unusual for a dead man to be made
defendant In a suit for damages, yet this
happened today, when -William Hardrath
brought suit against F. W. Prahl for
$5000. Prahl died at Portland last night,
but Hardrath's attorneys, George C.
Brownell. and Latourette & Latourette,
did not become aware of it until after
the papers were pied. Hardrath is a.
bridge carpenter and waa employed in the
construction of the Oregon Electric Com
pany bridge across the Willamette at
Wilsonville. He states that September'6,
1907, be was ordered by Prahl to stand
upon a pier and move a stringer, when
Prahl, who was In an Intoxicated condi
tion, carelessly and negligently flopped
over the stringer and Hardrath lost his
balance and fell, sustaining Injuries that
will make him a cripple for life. The
suit was withdrawn this afternoon.
