years as "Judge" Leonard, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by the Sheriff's ofilee

preferred by Patrolman Sherwood, a
neighbor of the woman attorney's on
Kast Washington street. Sherwood says
she has been haunting his place with
weird stories of plots agalrst her life.
Always regarded as decidedly "queer,"
Mrs. Leonard's erratic conduct has been
more pronounced of late. 4-he has long;
been known as Portland's "only woman

tice. She took up the study of law after
being tried and acquitted In connection
with the murder of her husband some
years ago. Fhe will be examined today
as to her sanity.

ORIENTAL TRIP FINISHED
e -
O. M. Clark Returns After Protract
ed Stay in Far East.
O. M. 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.
At yesterday's meeting a committee was
appointed to decide on how a memorial
service shall be held on Lincoln's birth
day, whether In the different churches of
the city or under the auspices of the T.

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.

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.

action, taken by that organization to se
cure a hard-surface street through the
center of the Peninsula to the St. John

forming a district, thereby distributing
the cost over a large territory. Mr. Car
