Insurance Men Unite Under
Clemens Law.
PROMULGATE FAIR RATES
First Organization or Kind in 0un
try Formed to Carry Out Provi
sions of Legislation Defining
Rebating and Other Matters.
The first organization of local general
fire insurance, agents ever formed in the
Ignited States with the object of ascer
taining and promulgating fair and equit
able ratings, took place in the Sherlock
DUUdlllS VMFurHav ...t,A '.I.- t- .
, , . , . J i"m me Lnoerwru-
ers Equitable Rating Bureau was formed.
...o .uciaumn win take over the pub

- - ' WW icuuury, xormeriy
the prerogative of the Board of Fire Un
derwriters of the Pacific Coast.
The bureau was formed as the result of
the first insurance legislation recently
rT7. . iate legislature. This
legislation, it is believed by local agents
or the various companies, takes a step
forward in lire insurant i.. v.,
. ...... ,a no LUia
country.
"It has never yet been defined in In
surance laws that rebating is a public
evil." said a irimmfnon J....
, . . ' " " iiwumnte man

. . . iiiw uuiiuis oi tne
association of general Insurance agents
,"I oi ascertaining and pro
mulgating fair and equitable ratings,
something never before undertaken."
R. M. Kelly was chosen secretary of
the new bureau and an advisory com
mittee of 11 members was named to act
with him of the following local agents:
Messrs. Raymond. Parkhurst, Coleman,
Webber, Thompson, Stoy. Reed, Burke.
Atkinson, Deans and Williams. A second
meeting will be held tomorrow in the
same rooms and the new organization
perfected.
The Clemens law contains an emerg
ency clause and the rating bureau named
a committee of three to visit the in
surance commissioner at Salem today
and advise him of the organization of the
bureau and explain its functions. It was
thought best to lose no time in this
"Sf,. ,n order to show a compliance
with the law at once, since it goes into
effect immediately.
The general agents in attendance at
yesterday's meeting numbered 30. A con
siderable increase in membership of the
bureau is expected, since it is thought
general agents from all parts of the state
will want to help carry on its proposed
work. Later meetings are expected to
add materially to the membership.
"By the operation of the new law of
Oregon, it becomes possible for the gen
eral agents of this state to ascertain rates
on insurable property," said Secretary
Kelly yesterday. "Other new matters
in the law Include the question of In
surance policies containing a correct
statement of the consideration of nre
mium and a correct statement of the
amount of risk. If the assured does
not pay as premium the amount ex
pressed in the policy, then the Insurance
shall be decreased in the proportion that
the actual premium paid bears to the
expressed premium."

V DELICIOUS comedy sketch which
Is laugh-provoking without ever de
scending to horseplay, a fairy-tale for
grown-ups. a pretty little conception
which involves the staging of a dream, is
the headline act, "Pat and the Genii,"
which that sterling comedian, Tom Nawn,
and his company; are presenting at the
Orpheum this week. The Idea Is that of
an Irish gardener employed by a musty
old professor of archaeology, who de
livers an antiquity to the study of his
employer and by chance discovers that

OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY.
the jar contains the spirit "of a genii,
bottled tip for some 3000 years. Pat falls
asleep and imagines that he releases
from the jar the genii, which makes his
every desire come true merely for the
wishing. The Arabian Nights holds
nothing more entrancing than the mar
vels brought about in the ensuing few
minutes when wealth and love and ease
are lavished upon the obscure gardener.
Then comes an awakening, in which it is
shown that Pat has been dreaming, and
the probabilities are restored.
It is one of the most -unique and enter
taining sketches that the Orpheum, has
offered and it alone constitutes a suf
ficient reason for going to the show this
wSek. Tom Nawn long ago established
himself as a comedian of the first order,
but Charlotte Appelle, who appears as the
genii is a newcomer worth watching. Her
chief charm is her remarkably musical
and well-directed voice, while her beauty
of face and form incline the audience
naturally to admiration. Mrs. Nawn plays
the Irish housekeeper in a satisfactory
manner and the colored slaves play their
parts to the manner born.
The Eight Melains, a double quartet of
singers and musicians, seem entitled to
second place on the bilL These Italians
sing selections from grand and light
opera, and discourse delightful accompani
ments on string and reed instruments,
which prove to the average auditor a
source of the keenest enjoyment. It is a
touch of Southern Europe, an echo from
the cafes of the RSviera that is a most
agreeable departure from the average
musical act.
Another big event this week is. that of
fered by the Four Casting Dunbar's, which
has seldom been " equaled on a local
stage. These athletes do some really re
markable feats and the element of humor
introduced by the clown of the troupe is
decidedly refreshing. Their work is
worthy the closest attention of discrim
inating patrons.
Something unique in the way of ven
triloquism is introduced by W. E. Whit
tle, who uses a Roosevelt makeup quite
effectively, and operates a half dozen
dummies in a truly remarkable manner.
A dramatic sketch called "Wireless."
which introduces a number of clever
actors who support the latest gift which
science has given to the world, is well
worth attention. Leander de Cordova,
the star, is an actor of more than average
ability, and the idea of the sketch, which
is written by Alice Leak Pollock, is a
capital one. This is the fourth big act
on the Orpheum bill this week.
Elsie Fay, a pretty petite musical in
genue, sings and dances very attractively
in a turn in which' also appear two young
men who attempt to imitate Georgia
Cohan. Miss Fay is worth while and
the boys dance-fairly well. Charles Mat
thews, an athlete, who does some sur
prising jumps, opens the bill.
Grand.
THERE are two big acts on the new
Grand bill this week, sensational
hand balancers and Don Leno's ten sing
ing and dancing youngsters. This clever
decimo, who are bubbling over with ani
mal spirits, have as a setting for their
sketch a schoolroom, in which are the
various public school types, the teacher's
pet, an .Italian, the fresh boy, tough girl,
a Hebrew and a Bostonese youth all of
whom contribute their share of comedy.
Their voices are especially good, and the
terpsichorean turns are also worthy of
mention.
Ellsworth and Llndon in their own orig
inal comedy, "His Day Off," have a plot
that is rather unique, though the comedy
is mediocre. Sarah Cogswell, a soprano
with a well-cultivated voice, and consid
erable claim to beauty, offers a number
of songs which show her soprano voice
to the best advantage.
Harry McDuffee offers the newest ln
illustrated songs, and Brrac, a protean
violinist, in a tone picture, the street
musician, proves popular. In the garb
oi an itinerant musician, he solicits alms.
Finding them not forthcoming, he plays
with increasing ferver until the finale is
decidedly portentious.
The hand balancing of Lee Georgettys
snows finesse and skill. A. tiny youth,
who has "no knowledge of fear, does Some
remarkable stunts with neatness and
dispatch. The scene represents a Pari
sian cafe. The garcon and the buttons
wishing .to entertain the guests evolve
themselves in human windmills. The two
diners, ln evening clothes, get the fever
and materially assist the employes in
tneir clever gyrations.
As a whole the bill is one of the best
seen in some weeks at tis popular play
house. Pantages.
THE offering this week at Pantages
is one of exceptional balance and al
most every act is of headline' caliber.
The top notch of mystery, color and ac
tion is reached in the presentation of

Modern 'Innovation at the Portland
Popular at Outset.
The Hotel Portland management has
Just adopted the modern Innovation of
an afternoon "tea," which is becoming
a feature among first-class hostelrles
all over the East, in England and in
Continental Europe. The "tea" is
served between 2 and 6, and the fad has
already taken by storm among: Port
land society folk.
The distinguishing feature of this
custom is that it enables downtown
visitors, transient guests, city residents
entertaining friends, and people wear
ied of the set course dinners to drop
In and while away a pleasant time with
their friends. It has a touch of the Bo
hemian spirit, for there are always
music, flowers, freedom and unconven
tionally. It Is a popular custom, for it
is intended for both men and women,
and is one of the most delightful ways
of entertaining out-of-town guests.
The Portland Hotel grill has been
transformed by master decorators into a
dream of white and gold. The daily
decorations of flowers are installed un
der personal direction of Manager Bow
ers. Wisteria, banked against and hid
ing the orchestra, is flanked by sharply
outlined fringes and folds of brightly
glowing flowers.
For the "tea" there is a special Mex
ican orchestra, a string quartet, man
dolins, guitar and zither, playing na
tional, Mexican and Spanish selections.
MUST BE SOLD.
