HERE FOR THREE DAYS Party Elected by Voting Contest to Spread News of Southern Car nival Enjoys Automobile Spin to Heights. Twelve brlght-yed. clearsklnned and entirely enthusiastic young women from San Francisco, comprising a party of th most popular girls of That city, who have been sent on a trip through the Pacific Northwest by the committee which Is ar- ranging for San Francisco's big Jubilee Tortola Festival next month, captured Portland by storm yesterday. That is not putting it a bit too strong, either, for at the Hotel Portland, where they registered for a thrae-day visit here, they were the centers of as much idmiratlon and interest as the guests at that fashionable hostelry ever display towards anybody. And In the afternoon when they went In two bis automobiles on a sightseeing tour of the city well, who wouldn't be carried away for the moment If not one. but 12. animated visions of beauty framed In Jaunty auto mobile veils were suddenly to dash past, all waving their hands at once, giving a spirited California yell, and exhorting you on your honor as a gentleman not to miss under a-n-y circumstances, the per-fect-ly splei.did Portola Festival in October? It was pretty unanimously agreed that the girls should have any thing they want while they're here. Miss Fowler De-lighted. But the admiration was entirely mutual. After the girls had come back from their ritie they could hardly find words strong enough Jo express their enthusiasm. Miss Bespie Fowler, a petite brunette, ex pressed it to the satisfaction of all the girls when' she said: "We're simply de-!prhted (she used the Roosevelt accent on the word) with the cltv. Portland is the most beautiful and the most charming city I ever saw. Why. I had never even dreamed there could be such a view as we saw up on Port land Heights this afternoon, and all the girls said the same." 'Yes." chimed In Miss Sarah Miller, we have Just .been through Seattle, the Fair. Tacoma. Victoria and a lot of other towns up there, but we like Port land more than all the rest together. Really, it almost seemed as If we were at home when we reached Portland. The people seem warm-hearted Just as they are In San Francisco and not half frozen up like some were up north. Se attlewell, Seattle was nice and the Fair was fine, but Portland is a dear.", - That sentiment was unanimously voted to be correct. Xext to Portland and how much they are pleased with it. however, the topic of conversation that roused most enthu siasm among the girls was the Portola Festival. If even' Portlander doesn't hear of the Festival and what it cele brates. It will not be their fault. Miss Annie Hupp voiced the sentiments of the rest of the party when she declared to an Oregonlan reporter: Portola Not Baseball Club. "Be sure to tell them that the Festival begins October 19 and lasts until Octo ber 23, and that we want every Port lander to come. Tou see the Festival celebrates the discovery of San Francisco Bay by Don Garcia de Portola and it is going to be the finest, and the biggest, and the best celebration ever held. Now flon't forget, please. Really, we don't want any other Portlanders to be like one man we met while we were riding through the city this afternoon. 'Portola?- he raid, 'what basrball team is that?" We told him some of our minds." The girls left San Francisco Just eight days ago, after they had been selected as the most popular dozen girls in the whole city in a huge voting contest in stituted by the Portola Festival com mittee. They went to Seattle by steamer, and after three days at the Fair and sev eral side trips to other towns, they ar rived in Portland early yesterday morn ing. It was Just after midnight, in fact, but nevertheless the party was met at the Union Depot by a committee from the Commercial Club and taken to the Portland Hotel In automobiles. The giris were sadly disturbed yester dav when thev found that In some way their trunks had got shifted ofT on tl-. I wrong -train and they had only their i traveling clothes to wear. But they made the best of it. and late in the afternoon the belated trunks showed up. In the morning thev went in a body to the Flrct Presbyterian Church. May Visit Cascade Locks. Frank M. Cummings is managing the party. He was selected by the Portola comirlttee for the position and Mrs. Kate Fteuoon Hart is chaperoning the girls. If you ever tried to keep track of 12 healthy, spirited and enthusiastic young women who have- never done much traveling before and to whom every new sight presents keen delights, you will know that Mrs. Hart has not had exactly a passive task as chaperons. This morning the girls will go over the city again in A, big sightseeing automo bile chartered for the occasion. At 2 o'clock they will be guests of Manager Bowers, of the Portland;, at a luncheon, and If they have time tomorrow they will take a side spin up to Cascade Locks and back. They leave at 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon on the Shasta Limited. These are the names of the girls In the party: Miss Estella Collanan. Miss Annie D. Keenan, Miss Sarah Miller. Miss Clara Luci'le Harrigan, Miss Annie G. Hupp, Miss Mabel Carroll. Miss Genevieve "Wells. Miss Florence M. Davis, Miss Lulu O'Dea. Miss Sarah Thorrald. Miss Bessie Fowler and Miss Nora Dwyer.

Complain of Vnjnst Dismissal. PORTLAND. Sept. 10. (To the Editor.) A few days aso in lis local column. The Oregonlan mentioned my dismissal from the park service. Knowing this paper's disposition to treat fairly all ques tions and people. I beg a little fpace to et myself rlsht before the public. On the night of October 2, 1908, after almost one and one-half years of con tinuous aarvtc without vacation or leea of a day. Including holidays and Sundays, j I was on duty at the City Park. While in ; the discharge of my duties and in the act of obeying a useless and "unreasonable order. I was thrown down a flight of steps suffering, a crushed ankle and a fracture of the pelvic bone. This accident, caused through no fault of mine, was entirely due to the extreme darkness and dangerous condition of the sti-ps. As soon as I felt able to work. I asked the Park Superintendent to per mit me to resume my position at the City Park. He declined at this time, but promised me that as soon as I was able to walk without crutches he would put me back to work. On the 17th of last month I again called on the Superintendent and demonstrated that I could walk without crutches or cane, and asked an opportunity to prove that I could perform all the duties to his entire satisfaction. He refused to grant me this opportunity, but a few days later sent me notice that I was dismissed from the service for incapacity. This unmerited and unjust punishment and humiliation is without precedent and contrary to the spirit of civil service rules, which presumed that an employe who has been recommended by the Civil Serv ice Board is competent until he is proven incapable. I can throw down my cane and outrun the doughty Park Superintendent despite the fact that one of my legs is a little shorter than it really ought to be. W. J. IDLEMAN. WIFE SHUNS PRISONER MRS. It. F. DICKERSOX REFUSES TO SEE HITSBAXD IX CELL. No Repetition of Thaw Case to Be Heard at Trial of Gar rett's Slayer. There will be no repetition of the Harry Thaw case ' In Portland in the case of R- F. Dlckerson. on trial for his life for the killing of H. A. Gar rett. Nor will Mrs. Dlckerson be called to emulate the example of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, who through her revolt ing testimony of relations with Stan ford White helped to save her husband from the electric chair. Mrs. Dicker son, who is suing for divorce, will tell no sickening stories on the stand. Not only is she not moving a finger to save the life of her husband, but she has not been to see him at the County Jail Blnce he gave himself up after shoot ing Garrett. Dickerson's baby has also been kept from hih. "Oh no, my wife will not be called to the witness stand," stated Dlckerson yesteiday from behind the bars of his cell at the County Jail. "She might do it if it were not for her parents, my only enemies. They are the real cause of all this trouble. They are .laugh lng at my plight. I would not want my wife to appear even if she would. Any thing she could say would carry but little weight, as she would contradict herself time after time on the stand. She doesn't know the meaning of truth. "But I am not suffering because she has not been to see me. I have a great deal of company and am treated well by my jailers. I believe that more than a thousand people have been to see me since I gave myself up. "I am thoroughly satisfied with the progress of my trial and with what my attorneys are doing for me. I believe I will be acquitted. It has been shown by the state's witnesses that I did not shoot Garrett in the back, as was charged. "After I-Iired the first shot. every thing became black and I just stood and emptied the chambers of the gun and really didn't know what I was do ing. I rely upon my past good record. "I had not planned to shoot Garrett that morning. I never would have done it. but I thougnt he was going to get me." Attorney Seneca Fouts. for the de fense, states that he is not able to say whether Mrs. Dlckerson will be called or not. He states that he does not even know where she lives; that her husband does not know,' except that she Is somewhere with her father, and that he has seen her but once since the shooting.

Furthermore, the play is relieved by a plenitude of vivacious dialogue and enough heart Interest to make It accept able to a cosmopolitan audience. Senator William H. Langdon. the gen tleman from Mississippi, is an unso phisticated planter of the old Southern school, who has been put in office through the instrumentality of the senior Senator from that state, James Stevens. The first thing the new Senator does on reaching Washington city is to employ as secre tary a young newspaperman, who steers him effectually tlirough a troubled sea. Senator Langdon becomes Involved In a scheme to locate a Government naval base on the gulf in his own state. The plan is meritorious, but, without his knowledge. Congressman Charles Norton, from hia own district. Induces Senator Longdon's daughter, Carolina, to Invest an inheritance in lands that will be need ed and also persuades the-Senator's son, Randolph, to put in $50,000 of his father's money that has been intrusted to his care. Senator fctevens and ai6o senator Peabody, of Pennsylvania, invest large sums in land- on tne expectation or tne naval bill going through. The duplicity that surrounds him is revealed to Sen ator Langdon by his secretary and partly through the instrumentality of his daugh ter Hope. In the denouement Senator Langdon forces the conspirators to turn over all the land to the Government free of cost. Of course. Senator Langdon's daugh ters are beautiful, and the secretary falls in love with and wins Hope. The best charm of the play falls in the third act when Senator Langdon wavers between anger toward his fel low Senators, sorrow for the taint that threatens to fall on his good name, and good nature and hospitality toward gueBts who have assembled at his home. James' Lackaye, in tne title role, fits at least the Northern conception of the well-to-do Southern planter, and Is thoroughly interesting and at home In the part. Miss Minnette Barrett, a former Port land young woman, has the role of Hope Georgle Langdon, in which she is both winsome and clever, and, indeed, no fault can be found with anyone in the cast. Billboards Are Scored. ' The billboird nuisance furnished the subject for a sermon by' Rev. Frank D. Findley at the First United Presbyterian Church last nlgnt. "Advertising Is a good thing." said Mr. . Findley, "but these Immense billboards which offend the eye in the most public places are un sightly, frequently immoral, and obscure the view of a beautiful landscape. The billboard as It exists at present Is a monument to human greed and it should be suppressed or at least strictly regu lated." The speaker then drew a contrast be tween this form of advertising and that which is due from every Christian. "We are given a banner to display," he said. Every Christian should so announce himself and 'hang out his sign.' God commands it, gratitude compels it and honesty requires it. We must take the devil's bushel from over our candle and set it upon the church's golden candle stick. It was a great thing for Cook and Peary to discover the Pole and they did not conceal their discovery. How much greater is the discovery that the Christian has made and how much more should he announce It to the world! Hang out your sign!" NOW VISITING PORTLAND.

And again hurrah! The Shuberts are here with the real unadulterated goods. Last night's opening of the Str Theater under their auspices was one big gala event, and a representative and discriminating audi ence of playgoers were there to attest their interest. The "Girls" received an ovation. The delightful Fitch comedy is making one of the hits of its life. In fact the play is exactly what could be expected from the pen of its lata author. This dainty exploitation of Sis. E. Dnmond, Operatic Tenor at the Oaks From Photograph Taken in Moscow, Russia, i feminine Inconsistency depicts an amusingly exaggerated condition. The studio scene, particularly, in which the three man-hating damsels retire to the accompaniment of clanking steam- pipes is refreshing. The dialogue is a constant sparkle. There is not one stupid minute in the entire play. The three girls themselves are irresistible. Eleanor Burrell as Pamela Gordon is splendidly dominant, and possesses such ability that one almost fancies the play was written for her. Elvla Bates as Violet Lansdowne is a dainty bit of Dresden cnina, pretty and captivating, and the last of the trio. Ethel Strickland, in the role of Kate West, is charming and wholesome. Ricca Allen as Lucille Purcelle who elocutes," contributes great bogs of humor with her original ideas on' men and matters. William Howard Claire, as" Edgar Holt, captivates both the audience and the 'Girls. Charles Dungan. as bprague, his law partner. Is amusing, while one of the best and most diffloult roles is good in the hands of Joseph Redman, who plays Loot, the law clerk.

Cohan's really de lightful musical comedies, opened the season -of kiaw & Erlariger road at tractions at the ' Baker Theater, with matinee anil evening performances yes terday, and scored decidedly. The play, which deals with the love of a college lad who has won distinc tion at Harvard by pitching the base ball nine to victory, is sprinkled with just enough" comedy to carry the piece in a pleasing manner. The most in teresting figure in the present com pany is Grace King,- a dainty little actress who portrays the role of Sadie Woodls, the postmistress of Brookfleld, Mass., a suburban community near Bos ton in which the scene is laid. Miss King can. be said to carry her audi ence from start to finish. Dan Bruce, as Dave Harrigan, the villain, is a - capable actor and really makes friends with his audience de spite the despicable role he enacts. Ed ward O'Connor, as Old Man Harrigan; Frank Buoman, as Nathan Westcott, father of the hero, and Edwin Belden, the erring brother, are fine. Therole of Mrs. Tilford, the village gossip, as played by Laura Bennett, is the best comedy role of the piece. The others of the company are fair, and a chorus better than the average is in evidence. The same bill will hold the boards all week, with a special price matinee Wednesday. "The Wag'e o! Sin" at the Lyric Theater "T HE WAGE OF SIN," the great sermon-drama that aroused so much; Interest in England and its colo nies last season, is the offering of the Athon Stock Company at the Lyric this week. The full strength of the company is in the cast, and the scenic effects are realistic in the extreme. The story is jn the nature of an object-lesson, a de lineation of the seamy side of London, which almost approaches a tragedy in Its lifelike qualities. Priscilla Knowles, the leading woman. Is particularly good in her portrayal of Ruth Hope, the village belle whose trust and affections are so grossly abused. Miss Knowles' voice is musical and her enunciation good. Robert Athon the leading man, appears as the hero, George Brand, the village curate, to good advantage, and is at all times capable. The despicable character of Stephen Marler. a schemer, is faith fully portrayed by Sidney Paine. The humor of the play Is contributed by Susie Howard, and Alice Condon, who in the role of Mrs. Boggs and her daugn ter, Julianna, keep the audience in an enthusiastic seance of mirth. Miss Con don will be heard, of some day, for she has decided ability. Other characters are Mr. Weane. the mlllowner, - as given by Franklvn Murray: his daughter. Rose', pert and saucy, well delineated by Doro thy Davis and Harry Wentworth who is Rose's lover, and is a "sojer," is capable In the hands of Ralph Bell. One especially commendable feature of the play is that while the scenes are laid In London and the atmosphere and gen eral tone of the play are essentially English, there' Is a total lack of the ac cepted and exaggerated Cockney dialect so frequent in the assumption of a Lon don character.
