Every Policeman to Take Part
in Crusade, According to
Mayor- Lane.
DENIES WORK IS TO STOP
Irc1arrs Purpose of Ordering For
mer Purifiers Into Uniform Mas
to Increase Scope of Opera
tion and "oer Whole City.
K'.-fry r..lleman In Portland Is
member of the moral rquad now, ac-c-irutnic
to the official statement of
Mayor f.nne In an Interview yesterday
mornlnK. The ilacliifr in uniform of
certain offtrern hitherto connected with
a small detachment of plaln-rlothes
men. partirulurly designated to handle
the rrusaje against moal lepers, has
no alKnifleanctf. except that It Is now
the policy f the administration to
trust thrt morals of the .elty to the
patrolmen in the beats, and to hold
them responsible for results, accord
ing to tiie Mayor.
"The simple fact Is." said Mayor
Ijine. "the plain-clothes squad, as
flirned to moral crusade work, were
not accomplishing sufficient results.
tVe made an investigation and found
that the people pay more attention to
n officer In uniform than to an oiii
cer In civilian attire, and we decided
to use the patrolmen for pnrifylng the
city and to make the patrolman on his
neat responsible for the beat. We have
not 'called off the moral squad, as has
been published, but we will make more
of an effort thn ever to catcli otiena
er against the statutes and we ex
oect to accomplish a rood deal more
by covering the entire city than we did
oy having a small squad.
The detaching from plain-clothes
duty of several officers who had been
working as a moral squad, created
wide interest, as It was supposed that
the administration had decided it was
time to abolish the crusade which has
made PortUn-1 famous all over the
country. Now. however. It appears
that there will be "something doing"
ll o-er the city, and that the work
of the police in purifying the public
morals will hereafter not be confined
to the central portion of the place, but
that it will be extended to the suburbs,
irherever a policeman saunters, so that,
if it is true, as rumored, that women
driven from the North End district
have scattered far and wide, they will
be caotured and made to realize that
.fayor Lane meant business when lie
ordered the town closeJ and purified.
To cover the entire city was an Im
possibility with a moral squad so small
as has heretofore been working, but
Kith tho entire police force working
towaid the ideal of cleaning up the
city, no one will be able to escape, it
Is said. Of course. If a patrolman
finds a state of moral degeneracy on
nis boa', and needs help to make a
raid or wants advice as to how to act.
he must ask headquarters, and he will
be assisted.
Mayor Lane has Issued the order that
the police must keep the city morally
lean to the best of their ability: that
every lodglns-house. no matter by
whom It Is owned or conducted, is to
be kept under -surveillance, and raids
made at any lime it becomes necessary
In order to drive out women of bad
repute and to punish such men as are
found in their companS'. It is figured
tnat wlih three policemen on each beat
every 24 hours they will be able to
Investigate all such places and to keep
lab on things so that, if anything not
tn conformity with law and order oc
curs, the proper steps will be taken to
blot U out.
"We are going after this business
stronijer than ever," concluded Mayor
ljine. "and we are going to continue
the moral crusade on a larger scale. I
have Issued orders, that no house in
this city Is to be overlooked which per
mits immorality flagrantly to exist
within It. and the police will raid every
place where lewd women are found."

TWwrnnir to mn editorial nrtict In Tn
nrenn Ian today regarding the expend! tura
of the money lntnwtod to the Oregon 'nin
nilin to th Alaska-Yukon-raciflc Expo
sition fr the purpoae of maklnr an exhloit
of the reaourrea of the Stat of Oregon at
tttaftia In ltMva we deem It our duty to ay
to the peopja and taxpayers of thin at at a
that we hftvt made a. complete luminary
report of our doings to the Legislative A
fiubly now In aeasion, aa per law required.
' hav alao filed quarterly an Itemized
statement of all expenditure wltn the Sec
retary of State.
When our iVmmlsslon met tn the early
Hummer f 1907 wa considered many pUn
for gathering an exhibit and doing the
work placed in our hands. Heretofore work
of tin kind has been placed In the hands
of superintendent of the different depart
ments, aurh a horticulture, agriculture, for
estry, mines and mining, educational. flh
and game. etc.. who would travel through
th state and gather exhibit for their .
specMve departments. In thl way th cost
to the state Is very great and In many in
stances poor results are obtained.
After a thorough consideration of the
matter, the tommlsion decided to place in
the Oregon building a collective exhibit of
the atate's resource and It was the unani
mous desire of the CommlMlon that thl
work be done, aa far as possible, by turn
members of the Com mission. InaVr th
c creating thl I'ommlMion, the Execu
tie commissioner and the secretary were
the ouly m-mbera who could draw a salaiV
for thetr work ; consequently th work of
fathering thl exhibit was allotted to t.ie
Kxecutive Commissioner and the secretary
and up to the flrst of December thee dif
ferent departments have all been handled
through these two Commissioner. We
found It necessary about December 1 to
rmploy a superintendent of education and
one for forestry and mines.
Th executive ommu-looer and the w
retary, under the au; rtty and iuptr vision
of tii entire i-omnil oa. hav also looked
a;'tr the erection of th :ate building at
Seattle and have gathered data for the book
let on the resources of Ort-gon which the
Oregou commission li to puo.lso and di
tnbut free at the Kxpoaitlon. In thl book
let we hav given apac to each and every
county In the state to sovsrtiM their re

j Sii Contracting Firms Divide Con
i btriietion Work and Supplying
( Materials Cost Will lie t'nder
I Estimates for Building.
Contracls for construction of the new
North Albina High School were awarded
vesterday afternoon by the Board of
Kducatlon. Under the bids accepted the
total cost of the structure will be J233.
7. which is several thousand dollars
less than the estimated cost. Actual
construction work is to b taken up with
in 10 days under strpervision of the archi
tect, M. H. Whitehouse. The building
will be ready for occupancy at the next
Fall term of school, barring unexpected
delays.
Six local contracting firms divide- tho
construction work and the supplying of
materials. Mclnnls & Reed underbid the
field on a UMge part of the work and
secured contracts aggregating JlOCO.
This is for the excavations, foundations
and concrete work, brick and stone, car
pnterlng, painting and ornamental Iron
fixtures.
The next largest item was on heat and
ventilation, and while W. G. McPherson
& Co. hnd in an offer to perform this
service for JTJ.0U0. the bid was withheld
from definite action for the time being.
The other bids that were accepted fol
low:
J. C. Bayer, sheet metal work and
tooling $11.07l

Many Contractors Bid.
Some 30 contractors had In bids on vari
ous parts of the building. There were
three bidders for the bulk of the work,
the competitors in this being Mclnnis &
Reed, the Portland & Seattle Construc
tion Company and Angtll & Gerger.
These bids were all segregated and ready
for acceptance by the board. After
being favorably reported upon, brief
work was made of accepting the lowest
bids. Tile bid on heat and ventilation
alone was deferred for further investi
gation, but that will in no way delay
the beginning of the work. It was given
as the sense of the board that the con
struction work must be taken up aa soon
as contracts can be drawn up and signed.
The new High School will be a tlirej
story affair, with brick exterior, located
at Kirby and Commercial streets. The
contents will be 2,iu0,0iK) cubic feet. It
will be of ordinary mill construction, the
board having some time ago declined to
provide a Class A fireproof building,
which would have cot't something" over
J4."),r)0. The estimate for this structure
of inferior class was from $250,000 to
$.IOO,0o. so that the keen competition for
bids has brought the price down consid
erably. The building as originally plannetl
was to have been somewhat smaller.
Congestion to Be Relieved.
An extensive school area is benefited
by the new High School and a problem
of congefrtion Is solved. Overcrowding of
the High Schools has reached almost
grave proportions, and this new structure
will be completed only in time to prevent
a state of surplus and inconvenience
which must have brought on endless
difficulty.
Originally plans were advertised for on
a fine brick tireproof structure, but when
these came in the lowest bids brought
the cost up so near a half million that
the board ordered a new call for bids on
a less pretentious structure. The bids
were accepted with a full, affirmative vote
of the members of the board. Following
Is a table shoeing the various bidders
in the competition and the prices named
by them for various parts of the work:

New Bills Open at the
Vaudeville Houses
Orpheum.
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
BSSENTIALLY the most important of
fering of the Orpheum this week Is
the remarkable melodramatic-psychological
work of Israel ZangwlU, called "The
Never, Never Land." This sketch is the
first intimation I have had that the emi
nent Hebrew-Englishman had ever writ
ten for the vaudeville stage. As a literary
critic he has few equals In the world.
His novels are read throughout the civi
lized world and his books of essays on
sociological questions are accorded the
highest place. To most people I'm sure
it will be a surprise to learn that the
Orpheum circuit has been fortunate
enough to secure his literary work. The
piece Is presented by Helen Grantley
and a capable company.
"The Never, Never Land" is a weird
conception In three scenes based on the
theory that at the moment of final dis
solution the dying reenact In their minds
the most vital experiences of their lives.
So it happens In the first scene that the
elderly Duchess , of Sluldon after dis
cussing the orthodox theory of atone
ment for sins and a happy future with
My Lord Bishop, in front of her man
sion, Belgravla, London is seized with a
fatal attack and murmuring vague
things concerning the Mosaic law, be
comes unconscious, leaving the Church
man in a quandary as to her meaning.
The next scene shows a hut in Northern
Queensland 40 years prior to the preced
ing events. A young wife has been taken
to this desert known the world over for
Its barrenness anil desolation aa "The
Never, Never Land," by her elderly hus
band, a prospector. A young Knglish
refugee, discredited heir to the title of
Maldon, conies upon the scene and makes
love to the lonely young wife who Is
finally induced to elope with him. The
"husband returns to find them in each
others- arms and attempts the life of
the young lover. They finally decide that
they will "shoot it out" the husband
hitting upon the plan to have the faith
less wife toss a coin to decide which
man shall kill the other. The lover wins
the toss and fires into the air, upon
which the husbarkl prepares to exact his
rival's life. The wile, being sent Into
the hut for a Bible through which the
condemned man is to receive consola
tion secretes a revolver about her per
son and as her husband raises his
weapon, fires from behind and kills him.
Then arguing to her lover that her hands
are dyed with blood, she declares
that site cannot go with him,
that no murderess can marry
with such a sin upon her soul. A native
retainer cornea upon the stage and Is
promptly shot and killed by the lover
who then overwhelms the woman with
his argument that certainly a murderer
may marry a murderess and they flee the
country together. The presumption is
that he comes Into his titles and that
he and the Duchess become famed for
their charity and other Christian virtues.
The third and lust scene returns to
the present day with the dying Duchess
In the arms of the Bishop in Belgravla
when she In part tells her secret and
hen expires. It isn't a cheerful affair
but Is tremendously effective and is dis
tinctly new to vaudeville.
Dick Crolius, the well-known comedian,
and his company present a hilarious little
farce called "Shorty." Mr. Crolius is a
stage veteran, a brother by the way of
Mrs. Mina Crolius Gleason, and he has
perhaps never appeared to better ad
vantage than in his present sketch. Its
every line and situation is bright and
funny.
Mile. Bessie Stern, a prima donna of
considerable note on the grand and
comic opera stage sings a number of
solos In a delightful soprano voice which
Is accentuated by a very attractive stage
presence. The Farrell-Taylor company
has a rattling good comedy musical turn
called "That Minstrel Man," In which
Frank Taylor. Blanche Davenport and
Tom Carter appear, the honors going
to the last named. Sophie De Wolf, a
talented violinist, , plays a number of
selections acceptably, although I would
suggest that she omit the much over
worked subterfuge of playing a .group of
popular and patriotic ballads as a follow-up
for classical selections in order
to make the groundlings applaud. She
was favorably received yesterday until
she attempted to spring "Dixie" upon the
customary rabble rousers and then she
met with fatigued silence. Racter and
Lobder open the show with a dancing
turn.
Grand.
FEW chips shy of its usual excel--lence,
and yet very pleasing withal,
is the programme offered at the Grand
this week. The headline attraction is
the Baker troupe of cyclists, a bunch
of six comedy wheel artists who do the
usual things common to cyclists on the
vaudeville stage and prescribed since
the days of the Medes and Persians.
A few of their stunts are a bit out of
the ordinary.
An act that pleases is that given by
the Carvers, Henry and Alice. y Hen
Is a sort of martinet who balances
and Juggles everything he can get his
digits on, while Alice, .who is featured
as a lady sharpshooter, takes a shot
at various bullseyes, beads, tumblers,
billiard balls and what not, never miss

n amber of a woman's magazine that
ever reached the public is the February Woman's Home Com
panion. Take that splendid love story, "Her Psychological
Moment," by Fannie Heaslip Lea ; every line of it will make
you glad that you bought the magazine especially when the
telephone' brings the romance to a happy ending. And there ,
are seven other stories, a portrait of " Lincoln at Fifteen " and
two refreshing articles, -M My Future Son-in-Law " and
"A Substitute for Matrimony "
The rest of the magazine, from the " heart of hearts " cover design, by
Howard Chandler Christy, to the flour advertisement on the last page, is brim
full of charming pictures, strong helpful articles, and page after page of practi
cal departments for women all and more in the February
WOMAN'S HOME
COMJgpON
At All News-stands
like Deadwood Dick of the Dark Da-
kotas, her aim never fails.
A vocal comedietta, entitled ".Matri
monial Bargain," Is ludicrous and
takes well. The woman In this team
has a good lyric soprano voice, and
their lines are refreshing and, in many
instances, very new.
The Theodores are billed in French
as "Les Thcodors." The man behind
me pronounced it as it is spelt. He
probably also pronounces uijou
"bv loe." and "cafe" 'kafe." Anyway,
the woman in this team is a feminine
edition ot that tonsorial advertisement,
Samson of Biblical diys, and her mid
air act. in which she supports, by
means of Roman rings, an acrobatic
husband with proclivities for making
a human eel of himself. Is really re
markable. The musical Brandons almost belle
their titles, inasmuch as their music Is
a distorted sort of the brand we usual
ly hear in front of the minstrel show
tent.
Fred Pauer's song this week is a
humorous one entitled "Don't Take Me
Home."
Vantages.
PAN'TAGES has managed to get to
gether some really first-rate acts
this week. It Is a show that is quite
refreshing from the vaudeville stand
point, and the audience which saw the
opening presentation yesterday after
noon gave an emphatic approval of
every act. Usually .mere is some nerve
destroying turn on every bill which
affords basis for a little spectacular
Invective Juggling on the part of the
person sent to "write up" the show,
but such openings are missing at the
Fourth-street house this time.
A novelty troupe of 16 people grind
out a feature, dancing and singing act.
All are very, young people and full of
life and action. As a spectacular mu
sical extravaganza the act is a suc
cess, and holds the first place on the
programme by right of merit.
Montana Jack is Willed as a "sensa
tional sharpshooter," and he succeeds
in living up to the billing. The at
tractive young woman who poses for
his shooting and knife-throwing feats
plays with death many times over. This
man seems entitled to a place as a
leader among the score sharpshooters
and knife-throwers who have appeared
in Portland within the past few years.
German comedians are nearly as nu
merous as pits In a pest-house. , Some
are good and most are noL Ross and
Adams Just manage to tip .the scales
from the majority side. Their humor
Is largely new. which is much in their
favor. They managed to keep every
one laughing right merrily, however,
which Is their business and succeeding
In that they must be good enough.

COUGHING BURST
BLOOD VESSEL
Says Danger Avoided and Cures
Coughs in 5 Hours.
A writer for the medical presj states
that coughing la responsible for the
bursting of blood vessels quite fre
quently. A cough or cold means In
flammation (fever) and congestion,
and these in turn Indicate that the
body is full of poisons and waste mat
ter. Simple relief, as found In pat
ent cough medicines, and whiskey,
often result in more harm than good,
as they cause more congestion. A
tonic-laxative cough syrup will Work
marvels, and here follows a prescrip
tion -which is becoming famous for its
prompt relief and thorough cures. It
rids the system of the cause, except It
be consumption. Don't wait for con
sumption to grasp Its victim, but begin
this treatment, which cures some in
five hours. Mix In a bottle one-half
ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one
ounce compound essence cardiol and
three ounces syrup white pine com
pound. 'Take twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-half
to one teaspoonful three or four times
a day. Give children less according
to age.
Someone Put the Old GuyWise?" proved
one of the hits of the programme. The
audience insisted on hearing It half a
dozen times. Lots of people could get
a most valuable little pointer from that
song.
The Stubblefleld Trio, aerial acro
bats, introduce a number of new and
hazardous turns. They are of pleas
ing appearance, do their work with a
snap and went well with the audience,
which is the main thing. Jean Wilson,
singing "Tell Me With Your Eyes,"
was given a lively round of applause.
The same bill will be shown all this
week.
Star.
THE STAR, long the home of thea
trical productions of the melodrama
tic sort, last night resumed Its career as
a vaudeville house. Judging from the
crowd present at the opening perform
ance the change in the character of per
formances at this playhouse is appre
