Killed at End of Jefferson-
Fifth-Street Line.-
FATHER ATTACKS CARMEN
John F- Wilson, Motormnri, Is Over
come ly Shock' and Cannot
Give Account of Accident.
Inquest Will Be Held.
Toddling about the treet In childish
lfrnoranre of his danger. . Will Hunt.
13 months old. Just barely able to walk,
got in front of a Jefferson-Fifth street
car yesterday, afternoon at 1:45 o'clock
at Market and Chapman streets,, the
terminus of the line, and was knocked
down, run over and killed. Aroused
from a mid-day sleep by the screams of
his wife, who stood In the doorway of
their house at 553 Market street, 100
feet from where the tragedy was en
acted. J. W. Hunt, the father of the
little hoy, reached his doorstep Just In
time to see his son ground under tlte
car wheels.
The father and mother, who also saw
the tragedy, stood transfixed with hor
.,..t.i. tn rlrt anvruins: to prevent
the death of their little son. Then,
with a sudden desire to revenge him
self upon the men whom he blamed for
.the killing- of his child. Hunt made, a
rush for the motorman and the con
ductor of the streetcar and tried to
tear them to pieces with his hands.
Wildly he struck at them, but was so
wrought up by the tragedy that his
fists missed their mark by a wide mar
Kin. A crowd which had quickly gath
ered prevented the frantic father from
further offers of violence, while John
Fred Wilson, the motorman, overcome
at the sight of the body of the child,
which the car had dragged for 75 feet,
fainted and had to be assisted to the
slJewalk.
Gate Carelessly Left Open.
The accident was one of those re
markable fatalities which is over in a
second and the cause for which no one
is able clearly to explain afterwards.
The boy had been in his home until a
few minutes before he wandered out
Into the street to his death. .He could
not have reached the car tracks had not
someone left open the gate to the Hunt
house. His - parents Bald that they
usually kept this closed for fear of
Just such an accident as occurred.
The boy had Deen out oi nis mum
er"s sight but a few minutes when she
noticed his absence and went to the
front door to look for him.
"I saw him first standing on the car
tracks, Just a few feet In advance of
the fender." said Mrs. Hunt. "TlVe car
waa standing still at that time. The
mere slghf of him on the tracks
alarmed me and I. called to my hus
band to come, as Willie was outside
and on the tracks. The words . had
hardly left my mouth when' the car
started. I screamed. I would have
gone out there at first, but I have a
2-weeks-oId baby and I was holding it
in my arms and did not want to go
outside with it. My husband arrived
at my . side Just as the car struck the
child and he was rolled- under it."
"I don't know what could .have been
responsible for the accident." said the
father. "I was looking at my child and
of course did not see the motorman or
what he was doing. It sometimes Is the
habit of the carmen to lock their
brakes at the, end of the line here, and
then when they start back down town
again to release the car by the, rear
brake before the motorman takes his
position In front where he belongs.
I've seen this done repeatedly, but
whether It waa done In this case I do
not know. If the motorman was stand
ing In hla proper place, however, I do
not see how he could have missed see
ing the child." -
Witnesses Tell of Accident.
'Witnesses to the accident were Mrs.
A. Luckinow, 35SH Chapman street;
Bruce Dickie, 596 Market-street drive;
J. C. Wierlck. 362 Chapman-street; G.
W. Coovert, 550 Market street; Mrs. N.
I. Davis, 334 Seventeenth, street, and
Mrs. M. Wells, the onlv passenger on
the car. who lives In an apartment on
Cable street. Mrs. Lucklnow was
standing on her porch and saw every
detail, of the tragedy. She says that
the motorman was In his proper place
when the car started. "She saw the child
cross the street very close to .the car,
so close, in fact, that in her opinion
the motorman would have been unable
to see him. In her version of It. the
child was knocked down the moment
the car started, and the motorman went
ahead, not knowing that the little fel
low was there until after the screams
of the mother and others warned him
that something was wrong.
Wilson waa prostrated by the acci
dent. After he had been assisted to
the lawn in front of a nearby house it
waa a long time before he could speak.
He evidently was completely out-of hls
mind. His talk wandered, and all he
could say waa "What happened?"
He paid no attention to the queries
put to him by the police and other of
ficials, and was finally put Into a taxi
cab by one of the streetcar company's
representatives and sent to his home,
773 Savler street. He was unable to
make a statement of the affair last
night.
Deputy Coroner Dunning was noti
fied and removed the remains of the
child to the morgue, after making an
investigation. An inquest will be held
to fix the responsibility for the trag
edy. The father of the dead ,boy Is a car
penter and lives In modest circum
stances. Both he and his wife were
prostrated last night by the shock of
their loss.
The conductor of the car is . E.
Coleman, of 303 Twenty-first street
North. Neither he nor the motorman
was arrested.

Ministerial Association Also Hears
Temperance Address by A. D.
- Warner of Los Angeles.
In the Fall meetings of the Port
land ' Ministerial Association held yes
terday in. the T. W. C. A. building. It
was decided to put a- ban on politics
in the churches, and nereafter to cen
sure any minister -who takes It upon,
himself to Indorse political candidates in
behalf of the Ministerial Association
without consulting that organization.
There was considerable discussion of
the advisability of receiving delegations
from the labor organizations and send
ing return delegatlona to attend labor
meetings. Finally,, after a plea by
J. K. Knodell. of the Anti-Saloon
League, . for the preservation of the
good feeling Just building between the
church and the laboring people, and
a warm second by Dr. Foulkes, it was
decided that the association would send
fraternal delegates to the meetings.
A. D. Warner, the temperance lec
turer from Los Angeles, delivered, a
stirring speech during the meeting.
Mr. -Warner attributed all the evils of
civil government to the existence of
saloons, and in exceedingly strong
terms urged the removal of the sal
loon from the business corners and
the best business streets In order that
the city's sons and " daughters might
be kept from their Influence.
Mr. Warner Is a reformed drunkard
and practicd"law for 30 years. One
of his strongest arguments was that
there Is not a single civil government
In America that Is honest, and that the
whole country Is teeming with graft.
Mr. Warner will give In Portland, in.
the near future, a series of lectures,
and, if possible. Gypsy Smith, the fa
mous English missionary evangelist,
will be engaged to assist him. .

IN ALL AMERICAN CITIES
LECTURER OF LOS ANGELES.
friends, for the moment. We have drunk '
the new music of the newest Italian
school, a divine nectar fashioned by Um
berta Giordano, and it is good.
The scene wae at the Bungalow, last
night, and the bill was Giordano's
"Fedora," but, the size of the audience
was not commensurate with the artistic
and high-class treat given. What kept
the crowd away? Surely it was a golden
occasion to learn new music of the- ad
vanced Italian school. Those who were
there, however, were richly rewarded.
"Fedora" Js a lyric drama In three acts,
the book being by Sardou, that Inimit
able master and pet of passion. A
thrilling renditipn was given of the tragic
Russian love ' story, and the singers
scored a pleasing triumph, the stars being
the Princess Fedora Romazov, of
Madame Therry, dramatic soprano, and
the Count Loric Ipanov, of Colombinl,
tenor. . The lesser stars all did good work,
and both chorus and the augmented or
chestra, under the direction of Signor
Vinaccia. did their siare in winning an
other operatic success. The audience, at
first slightly puzzled at' the new school
of orchestration, was cautious, but very
soon became captives to Giordano's
genius, and the applause was very gen
erous. There were a dozen curtain
recalls.
It was a necessary part of one's musical
education to hear suchta satisfactory in
terpretation of Giordano and the new
Italian school of musical composition he
has founded. His contemporaries are
Puccini, the leader, and Mascagni, Leon
cavallo and Ciloa. Giordano belongs to
what musical experts call the "veristlc"
branch of the new Italian school, mean
ing that he devotes himself to the forci
ble expression of the dramatic substance
of operatic motif. His melody Is fervent
and full-blown, and these qualities are
easily noticed in the,- three principal
Giordano operas "Siberia," "Andrea
Chenier" and "Fedora." They all spell
passionate love, with a. hint of tragedy.
It was, I think, in 190T that Oscar Ham
merstein presented 'at the Manhattan,
New York City, Giordano's "Siberia," and
the same year "Fedora" saw the light at
the Metropolitan, with the great Caruso
and Miss Cavalier! in the cast. "Siberia"
seemed -to please better than "Fedora,"
principally becauee the. audiences found
the new school of music difficult to un
derstand and rather technical, at first.,
"Siberia," 'at the Metropolitan, was in
terpretated by Agostlnelli. Trentini, Zana
tello and Sammereo. Its story relates to
Stephana, a beautifully appearing courte
san, who attracts the frenzied devotion
of Wassail, an Impecunious young soldier,
who is Jealous of the notice the girl at
tracts In the eyes of Prince Alexis. Was
sail kills the prince and is sentenced to
exile In Siberia- The gfrl follows him,
and when the two lovers are planning to
escape, Stephana Is shot 'by the guard
and killed. The music .is said to be re
markable, for the talent shown in plctur.
Ing not only amorous love, but the dra
matic moments of Its action. Russian
folk-tunes and a great snowflaka scene
also make It notable. I have written-at
this length describing "Siberia" to' lead
up to "Fedora," thetwo possessing many
threads in common."
"Fedora" starts with a game of cards,
continues with deliveries of letters, and
ends with a poisoned cupful of tea. At
the outset, the Princess Fedora Is In lo'e
with a dissolute Russian aristocrat named
Count Vladimir Andrejevich, who hopes
to marry her for her - money. She, a
widow at the time, visits him at his
palace only to find that he has been as
sassinated by an unknown. Suspicion
fastens on Count Loris Ipanov, who dis
appears. Determined to avenge her lover's
miurder, Fedora follows Loris to Paris
and, so much of a temptress is she, that
Loris falls in loe with her because- she
so wills It. Ultimately, Loris tells her
that he killed' Vladimir because the lat
ter had ruined his wife. Loris starts on
a short Journey, and the revengeful wom
an .sends a letter to the Russian author
ities telling them that Loris was the mur
derer they sought, but to Fedora's distress
the authorities arrest and execute Loris"
brother as an accomplice, and his mother
dies from grief. Loris returns to. Fedora,

are especially exposed to the ' dangers of female organic
disorders. Lydia E. Pinkharri's Vegetable Compound has
enabled thousands of girls to hold their positions:
... Read what this girl says:
Paw Paw, Micb.. "I Suffered terribly from female ills, Includ
ing inflammation and congestion, for several years. My doctor
eaid there was no hope for me but an operation. I began taking
jLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I can now say
I am well." Emma, Draper.
And this girl : . . , '
Indianapolis, Ind. " I suffered from a severe female weak-",
ness and got so bad that I believe I would have died if I had
. not obtained relief soon. One doctor said nothing would cure
me but an operation. ' , ' 1
"My aunt advised me to try JLydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as it had done so much good for her. I did and
. found it to be the right medicine to cure female troubles and
build up the system, and I am now in better health than I ever
expected to le." Bessie V. Piper, 29 S. Addison St., Indian
apolis, Ind. i
Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will do the same for any other girl
who is suffering with the same trouble's? -'
These testimonial .letters are the "genuine and truthful ,
statements from honest people.
Does" it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
'. medicine at least a trial? You may he sure that it can
do you no harm, and there is .lots of proof that it.wijl do
you mucn good.
For 30 years L.ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

and when he learns that a spy had- be
trayed him to his enemies In Russia, his
rage knows nckoounds, and he threatens
the spy with death. Too late, Fedora
knows that she really loves Loris, and,
afraid that he will take her life, pre
pares for her end. in true, Italian grand
opera fashion. She confesses to him that
she alone is guilty, arid dies from poison
poured from the inner recesses of a By
zantine cross into a cupful of tea..
The dialogue is crisp, and short, the
longest speech being made by De Seriex,
a diplomat, who thus pays his respects
to the Russian woman:
The Russian woman is twice feminine,
Doubjy adorable and doubly hostile;
A very woman and Eve's truest daughter.
With all her sweetness and- Impulsiveness,
Audacity and baseness, wings and claws,
Her ecstasies and lies elf-acrlf icing,
Yet ready to betray
Her sex 1 she. .
Yes. all the human being is In her. .
Subllmest love like the eternal heavens.
And hate as deep and gloomy as the ocean;
Angel and snake, a- Gypsy and a Queen;
The Oriental sun and Boreal ice;
A toy. a poem, a delirium, an altar, an
abyss ' ,
A mystery
Here's to the Russian woman!
Giordano's music Is not of the haunting
description, although sufficient and grand
enough to Interpretate . its theme. The
music in the first act Is disjointed, but
the best work appears in the second act,
where for a time the dual singing .of
Loris arid Fedora pleased. It got Its ac
companiment -last night largely from a
piano well-played by a Chicago girl. Miss
Beatrice Kaplan, who is a Russian-American.
The climax Is worked up by Loris
and Fedora and Is memorable. The third
act Is helped- out by three bicycles as
stage accessories, the -first music coming
from- a concealed choir of women's
voices. The tragedy Is told by letters,
and Fedora's dying scene Is nearly
breathless In Its Intensity. Madame
Therry, good looking and the possessor of
a sparkling soprano, is a fine actress.
She is a native of France. Columblnl, the
tenor, is slightly taller than Therry, and
Is an expert In emotional acting and sing
ing. His voice is between the. lyric and
dramatic. It will take some little- time
to allow the "Fedora" rhusic to "sink in,"
so to speak. It can scarcely be given a
pronouncement off-hand.
This afternoon the bill is "Faust," and
tonight "Rigoletto." The grand opera sea
son deserves not only applause, but the
crowd. '
