Clark, of the Clark-Wilson Lum ber Company, has Just returned from an extended trip through the Orient. He was accompanied by Mrs. Clark, and while away covered 20.01 miles, spending 4S days on the ocean. Mr. and Mrs. Clark left Portland with the Chamber of Com merce party to Japan on September 23 and aft.'r being entertained In Japan, pro ceeded through China and tho Philippines and stopped In the Hawaiian Islands on their way home. "I was much impressed, with tlie ad vancement made in the Philippines," said Mr. Clark, last night. "Everywhere was seen evidence of progress. I belleva everything in that country would boom If reciprocity were adopt.-d In our trade relations with those Islands. "While In Manila we met Major Good man and his wife and daughter, who are known to Portland people. We were dined by Governor Smith while In Ma nila. He arpears to be a man well fitted for the position he holde. Others In the offlclal life of the Islands seem also to be well qualified to deal with the ques tions arising between the two countries. In Shanghai and Hongkong we also met people well known in Portland. "There was no semblance of war talk In Japan while we were there. Every thing was most friendly. We were ac corded courteous treatment everywhere and were given passes on the Japanese railroads, on the streetcar linns and everywhere we wanted to go about the Islands. "In China there seemed to be some egH tatlon when we arrived, but when we came away this had subsided and con ditions there appeared to be again on a normal basis." PREACHERS QUIT POLITICS Decide Statement 1 ITaa Xo Place In Its Debates. At the regular monthly meeting yes terday of the Portland Ministerial Asso ciation, it was decided that Statement No. 1 lias no place in the discussions of that body. Although a committee had been appointed to consider the question of a Republican Legislature electing a Democrat as United States Senator, the committee agreed that this question was not within the province of the associa tion. That body, however, agreed that a Sunday rest law, a statute which will reduce the amount of business transacted on that day. Is desirable. A measure against professional baseball and Sunday excursions is received with favor. It has not been determined whether action shall be taken against Bunday theaters.

JURY TO GET FAGTS Ex-Guard Johnson Prepares to Tell About Rockpile. HAS NAMES OF WITNESSES Gets His Facts In neadlness for In qnisitorial Body, Which Will In vestigate Grover Dnffey Death. Charges More Brutality James Johnson, who lately resigned as a guard at the county rockpile, is prepar ing data and names to be presented to the county grand Jury when he Is called before that body to tell about events pre ceding the death of Grover Duffey, a pris ons r at Kelly Butte. There ere several men now living to the city who saw Duffey given the beat ing which resulted In his death," said Mr. Johnson, yesterday. "One of these, Hadad, an Assyrian restaurant-keeper, whose place is In the old Paris House, waa in the Jail at the time and will give ell the details of the essault." Besides the Duffey case, Johnson cites a number of other cases of exoeesivo bru tality, each one of which he says he can prove to a certainty. "This eame man Hadad," said he, 'Is a sufferer from asthma, and while being token to the rockpile lost his breath and wanted to rest. Superintendent Brlggs hit him In the back of the neck with a billy. C. L. Wright was a witness of that affair and will boar me out. "Roy JIayward suffered for nine days wltii appendicitis at tlie rockpile and could not get medical attention. Finally his old mother walked out there in the rain, learned of his condition, and then called Dr. Sellwood. Hayward. his mother and the doctor will bear me out In this. "The worst case of all, and one the facts of which can t proved by a dozen wit nesses, was that of James Brown," said Johnson. "Brown made an attempt to escape, end one of the guards fired at him with buckshot. One shot struck Brown's finger. A physician . was sent out to tha butte by the county. He dressed the wound, but did not remove- the shot. Ten days later Brown's hand .was a hor ribie object, and I took it upon myself to demand that e doctor be sent for. The doctor came again and ordered the man sent Immediately to a hospital. That was Sunday afternoon. Sunday night Brlggs left the rlace and didn't show up to send the man to the hospital until the Tuesday following. So, when Brown finally did get attention, he was in such a condition that part of his hand had to be removed." New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpheum. PT ARTHUR A GREENE. THH best dramatio sketch this town has ever seen In vaudeville Is "A Mountain Cinderella." The title is a mis nomer but that's the only thing that Is the matter with Julie Heme's playlet. Save for the fact that Liz Hutchlns has been left at home while the family has gone to the county fair it is difficult to trace any resemblance between the Ten nessee mountain girl and her famous prototype of the fairy tales. But the sketch serves to introduce a delightful little actress in a most sympathetic role, and two men, Charles Martin and Wil liam Pinkham who play their roles ex ceedingly well. Miss Herne has no need to feature her relationship with the rare old actor who made "Shore Acres" a standard thea trical offering. The little drama con cerns tlie efrorts of a courageous back woods girl to protect her moonshiner lover from revenue officers. The plot Is somewhat reminlsent of "The Girl of the Golden West," but it is not plagiar ism and In Itself proves exceptionally interest-compelling. Miss Heme's char acterization is delicious, her "poor white trash" patois Is accurate and her com mand of the emotions stamps her as an actress of exceptional merit. Just to see "A Mountain Cinderella" la worth a visit to the Orpheum. One of the Murray Sisters, which one Is a matter of conjecture, sings a para phrase on "I'm Afraid to Go Home in the Dark," which carried the audience off its feet. It's a corking good song. Tha entire turn of these two clever girls is worth considering although one might suggest that the sister who appears In black velvet and attempts to imitate the "Kthel Barry more slouch" might better devote ber attention to hex singing. I nee her voice la very good. A very effective act is offered by the Josselln Trio of aerialists. The man and the two women perform some startling feats on the trapeze and the picturesque manner in which they set the act and the grace of the performers make their part of the programme stand out con spicuously although there are so many splendid turns surrounding them. Frank White and Lew Simmons, not to mention "the ghost" do a funny black face stunt. One thinks of Mclntire & Heath while watching them, but the latter wouldn't find fault with their suc cessors. White's facial expression and his unction are calculated to make blase theatergoers laugh.

PARK STS. comes from the London music halls, is the best thing of its kind we've ever seen here and Madame Jewell entirely deserved the applause her efforts re ceived yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Allison offer a skit in which the former appears as an ambi tious young musical composer and the latter a Swedish servant girl. A team of clever Jugglers are Joe Cook and his brother who display much origi nality In their deft handling of Indian clubs and other properties used by Jug glers. The motion pictures are above the average. The present bill is one of the best the Orpheum management has yet offered. Tou will make no mistake by seeing it. Pantages. THE NEW TEAR is starting off at Pantages in a most promising way. By far the best thing on the bill is a do mestic comedy playlet entitled, "When Hubby Realizes," by Abrams and Johns, a clever man and a oleverer woman. The story is all about a country mouse of a wife, who is enabled by a partic ularly keen and well-acted ruse to win back her gay lord and master, "whose tastes run in the direction of the Great White Way. The Koliler Grand Opera Trio Is one of the best foreign vocal acts ever Im ported in vaudeville. As regards size and voice these three men remind! me of the story of the three bears, the great big bear, the middle-sized bear and the wee little bear. They all possess remarkable singing voices, and their selections., es pecially the "Trovatore" number, and fhe ..-( i ,.i u,,,ft Aa0H a RmfUI sensation. "The Limit" is the title of a breezy comedy, which is presentea oy xjunun and Brooks. Burton takes the character of Jay Armour Swift, a retired pork packer, and Brooks essays the in no wise difficult role of a titled Englishman. The act does not chain one's interest to the stage and is hopelessly inane In parts, but the new songs at tha end bring it to life and create Interest. The Florenz family, which consists of two men, two boys and a dainty girl of the Frltzi Scheff type, do a daring acro batio feature that is one of the big acts on the programme. Brandon and Wilson are a couple of Juvenile-looking people who sing and dance well and rattle off nonsensical nonsense. The girl is noticeably charm ing and their act pleases. Jean Wilson this week Is singiner "When the Whippoorwill Sings, Marguerite," which is well received, but might be im proved by the elimination of the cuckoo accompaniment in the chorus. Grand. TtTH Grand has a bill this week that is oalculated to please the diversified tastes of any audience. Honors are about even between Gus Bruno, who is a dia lect oomedian, and Joe Deming"s com pany, who present a humorous farce, "The Traveling Man." Bruno has ap peared here before as a star in musical comedies, but he must have disposed of his singing voice since then. However, as a dilectician and linguist, he is par excellence. His remarks In Swedish, Chi nese, Italian, German, Irish, Scottish and Yiddish relative to the merits and demer its of the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty are ludicrously faithful In their portrayal, as is also his song in the varied tongues, that one about the strained relations be tween father and mother, and toe old lady's refusal to hold converse with dad. "The Traveling Man," as presented by Joe Doming and company. Is screamingly funny. An interior view of a modern Pullman car is shown, and the farce con sists of clever repartee and eong between the porter, brakeman, a lady tourist, a fresh news butcher boy, and the travel ing man. Tne humor is spontaneous and catching, and seems to please everybody. Fred Bauer sings another old-time mel ody that we all find ourselves humming as we leave the theater, "SllveT Threads Among the Gold," which is well received Charles Sabine and Mile. Vera offer an act which, like hash and mincemeat, contains a little bit of everything. Vera dances particularly well, and her partner seems to be a living exponent of the ex pression. "Let the women do the work. "Lock Out at Three A. M." Is not half so scandalous as It looks in print, and the at, as presented by Stephen Gratton and Genevllle Cliff, possesses merit, even if Inconsistent with the gen eral run of things mundane. The plot has to do with a "loldy" who is brought to her apartments by a cabman, oly to find she has lost her key, and the arrival on the scene of a fellow -lodger, who, of course, says and does the expected things with a clever denouement. "Ores" is billed as the eighth wonder of the world. I always thought the eighth wonder of the world was a woman who thanks a man for giving her his seat in a streetcar but "Cres" is Just as much of a wonder. A transformation scene takes place on the stage three broomsticks and a plaster cast, with a "now you see her, now you don't," pass, and Creo appears from nowhere In particular and thanks us all for our polite attention. It is certainly a mystery, and the first one I ever saw without 10 people explaining Just exactly how it was done. ASK PARKS FOR PENINSULA Push Club Committees to Appear Before Park Board Friday.

M. H. Carter, representing the Penin sula Development League, reported the action, taken by that organization to se cure a hard-surface street through the center of the Peninsula to the St. John line, to the effect that the project was generally favored, provided the through street could be opened and improved by forming a district, thereby distributing the cost over a large territory. Mr. Car ter maintained that as tha whole of the Peninsula would benefit by this highway. a large district should pay for it- He also said that the matter of forming a district for street improvements of this character would be the subject of con slderatlon by the charter board. Following the adjournment of the push club, the Rose Culture Club held a short session, with Mrs A. B. Stone presiding- A hall committee was appointed.
