CITY CAPTURED BY
PORTOLA BEAUTIES
Charming Misses From 'San
Francisco Praise Portland
and Talk of Festival.
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

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.

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.

ASHINGTON politics Is the theme
man From Mississippi," which opened at
the Bungalow last night Is built, but the
political thread in the plot Is not so tan
gled but that is Is easily grasped by
those whose thoughts seldom turn that
way. 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!"

CRRAH! 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.

CJIFTY MILES FROM BOSTON," one
I of George M. 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.
