Mr. Harrlman. "They say they ara

Mr. Harrlman did not conceal the fact
that he felt that the Southern Paciric
had done great work ln saving the Im

acting unfairly In trying to take advant

than those through which the Southern

COLFAX. Wash.; April 1 (Special.)
George Clemens and George Sheldon,
two of the Idaho County, Idaho, quartet
that attained notoriety through the pur
chase of over I25O.O00 worth of horses,
mules and real estate in various parts of
Eastern Washington by alleged fraudu
lent representations as to solvency, ar
rived In Colfax this morning from
Grangeville, Idaho, to answer to an in
dictment returned by the recent grand
Jury, charging them with obtaining a
valuable Jack from William Chamberlain,
a Colfax farmer, under false pretenses.
They came voluntarily, were bound over
and gave bonds of tlSOO.
Sheldon said:
"We made our purchases ln good faith
and we Intend to pay our notes ln good
Vnlted States money. There Is Jufet one
peculiar feature in relation to this hue
snd cry that has been raised against
Clemens and the rest of us. and that is
that none of these notes, which we gave
in payment for the horses and other
stock bought by us, is yet due, and con
sequently I do not understand why we
are branded as frauds. Why don't
they wait until we attempt to repudiate
these debts before they brand us crooks?
In the most of these cases we did not
seek: to purchase from these men. but
tne. instead, sought us out and almost
Implored us to buy their stock."

NB of the few really big novels that

waa responsible tor .Sir Gilbert Parker's
knighthood by grace of King Edward VII
The Right of Way" is a vital human
document, dealing with life broadly;
touching the heights and debths of love,
ambition, endeavor, what you will that
constitutes the relationship of society in
its larger sense.
Eugene Presbrey, who dramatized the
novel, has taken numerous liberties, for
ln the book Charlie Steel dies after hav
ing done many other interesting things
which do not appear In the drama. De
spite the fact that it is exceptionally
well-acted, the play is like most book
dramas, something of a disappointment.
It is seldom, however, that we are privi
leged to witness the consummmate dis
sembling of two such fine artists as Guy
Standing and Theodore Roberts ln the
same production. Standing's "Beau-"
Steel Is a master work of naturalism,
particularly ln the first act. In which b
is at his. best. Mr. Standing is a cor
dially remembered local favorite, having
been leading man at the Baker during
a memorable engagement five years ago.
Since then he has not appeared here, but
Portland has not lost interest in him.
He has developed wonderfully since his
former engagement, although then recog
nised as an actor of unusual attain
ments. His work In "The Right of
Way" has advanced him to the first
rank among American leading men.
As to Theodore Roberts, for years
roremosi cnaracter actor, one of
three or four best in this country-
the
his
career during the past quarter of a cen
tury Is a matter of dramatic history. He
has appeared ln Portland many times and
has never disappointed the most exact
ing audience. His Joe Portugals is a
wonderful study in character. In ap
oearance. mrrifl tr facial
reading of the lines he absolutely sinks
uis uiuiTiuuiuiy into tnat of the French
Canadian riverman. whose doslike fidel
Ity makes the part a conspicuous figure
.In current theatricals. His rendition of
ine patois !s in Itself an achievemem
note.
These two really great actors make
"The Right of Way." It is essentially a
play In which men dominate and the
women of the cast are given little to do.
Paula Gloy as Suxon, the barmaid. Is
the most capable actress of the company.
