Superintendent Rlgler Does Not Ex

Remaining Facilities Are

Young America, us represented In Port
land, will take to study agln today when
the- call to school is given at 9 o clocK
this morning after the rest of a Summer
vacation. Today school will open In all
but four of the schools and there Is a
possibility that one of these may be
opened if the day Is warm.

. Superintendent Rlgler estimates that the
attendance on the opening day will fall
.r,.irahlv short of the mark of 16,o!o
... n Ts This is because the Vernon
Davis Eliot and Stevens will not be
.opened at once. Last September these
. fiimlxhed an attendance on
,h- nnh dav of 931. and Mr. Rigler
not think the Krowth of the city
ho. tw-n so arreat tha this attendance
--in t rriBde uo In the other schools.
.iihomh he thinks that after these
v,i. .ro nrnfd the total will show
material increase. In 1SOS the opening
day figures were 691 greater than the
. record of the opening day of 1907, when
Horn ohlldren registered.
Mr. Rigler estimates an increase of 200
to 300 in the attendance in the three
high schools which last year showed an
ii.i nn the opening day of 1714. as
compared with 135 in 1907. The addition of
the Jefferson school will help In increas
ing these figures. nue ino new jn
hih school is not yet completed.
the Williams avenue school in Upper Al
hin will' be used . for the new. high
"It Is pretty hard to estimate or place
much faith in the figures of the opening
day as a very little tning may
influence one way or another, said Mr.
Rlgler. "A clear or cloudy day has Its
. whii. th hon Dlcklng season has
been known to have its effect. A late
hop season has sometimes iouna
1 to 201 Portland children in the hop
fields, although I do not tmnit m .
much of a factor as tormeny.
Many Factors Enter In.
The fact that the fans for the heat

us from opening the new schools unUl the

to put children in newly plastered rooms

if the day is warm, as inere nu ottu u
plastering in this school. I notice that
the fans for heating in the Davis School
are being put up and we may open that
in a dav or two. The Vernon School and
Eliot School will be opened as soon as
the fans arrive and are put in. inai
should be In a few days. Of course, the
buildings will not be entirely finished
even then, but school can be held In
them as there will be tout minor oetaus
to arrange, such as exterior painting,
which will not prevent achool in the
classrooms."
The rules and regulations of the schools
are being revisel at present. Mr. Rigler
says that the majority ot the cnanges
will be in incorporating resolutions al
ready passed by the Board and that there
will be a few changes along ine une oi
discipline. These, he says, will not De
radical. The entire matter is now in tne
hands of a committee.

SHORT LEASE ON STAR
House Rented Temporarily unm
New Alhambra Is Completed.
Curtain Rises With "Girls"
ma First .Attraction.
The rumble of the theatrical war is
becoming more audible with the ap
proach of the Autumn season of
theatricals. The Shubert forces have se
curely fortified themselves for the im
pending conflict. The first gun of the
Shubert interests here was fired last
night at the rise of the curtain at the
Star Theater on "Girls," by the late Clyde
Fitch. The Alhambra Theater Company.
representing Sam S. and Lee Shubert, has
taken a short lease on the Star in order
to accommodate the Shubert attractions
Seattle and San Fran-
"O
ctsco. '
Until the alterations of the Portland
Theater, at Fourteenth and Washington
F..iii frrmrlv the Heillg. have been
made and passed upon, the Shubert at
tractions will hold the boards at the Star.
It Is anticipated that all the necessary re
nJr will have been made to the Portland
so that the Star may be abandoned and
the attractions transferred to the upper
Washington etreet playhouse not later
than the last week of October. Through
the agency of local representatives the
Shubert interests have obtained a lease
of two years on the building.
The Shubert attractions will continue at
the Portland until the completion of the
Alhambra. an absolutely modern house
which will be built in the downtown the
atrical district, in exact fac-slmile of the
Seattle playhouse of the eame name.
DREW COMES FOR 'OPENING
Shuberts' Representative Makes ly
ing Trip to Portland.
E. I Drew, of Seattle; of the theatrical
firm of Russell & Drew, who represent
the Shubert Interests In the Northwest
made a flying visit to Portland yester
day to be present at last night's open
ing of the Star Theater, under the Shu
bcrt management, with the production of
Clyde Fitch's comedy. "Girls." Mr. Drew
will be in the city today, but expects to
, Boottio. hv tha late train to- ,
'The opening or the t-on.ia.iiu w.
of the Shuberts on sucn soon
makes necessary a deal of switching
about of the different attractions booked
r the Pacific Coast cities." saia mr.
Drew. "We expect to reopen xv
land theater, as the remodeled Heillg
will be called, on October 16 wun no io
an attraction than Eddie Foy in the
musical comedy, "Mr. Hamlet of Broad
way.' To do this it will be, necessary to
cancel a week of his engagement at
tle, but he will play here. If it is pos
sible to arrange It. '
"Following Eddie Foy, jonn
The Witching Hour' will be brought up
from Lo Angeles, if we can make th
necessary changes In his bookings. The
Witching Hour' has Just had the longest
run in Seattle that any play has ever
enjoyed there. It played at the- Al
hambra Theater for three weeks and
one day. and at the last was drawing
bigger houses than during the first week.
The Witching Hour has made a tre
mendous hit wherever It has appeared.
"One of the early bookings will be
George Fawcett. starring In 'The Great
John Ganton,' and it may be possible to
bring Marine Elliott to the Portland for
the third week after the opening. The
reason I cannot make any definite state
ment as to what attractions will play Is,
as said before, because they were all
booked for the other cies before it was
known that we would have a house here,
and much changing of dates has been
made necessary.
"Following the present week s engage
ment of 'Girls' at the Star, the comedy,
'Going Some,' by Rex. Beach and Paul
Armstrong, which has been on the Coast
only three weeks, after a long run In
New York, will probably be the attrac
tion. We wanted very much to bring
Corrine here in 'Mamselle Mischief,
which opened for two weeks at the At
hambra in Seattle tonight, but there are
60 persons In the cast, and the stage al
the Star Is too small to accommodate
them. ' '
"Of the current New York musical hits.
Portland will shortly see James T. Pow
ers In the. London Gaiety success, Ha
vana.' when that piece gives up Us ten
ancy of the Casino. The Motor Girl
still running at the Lyric. New York, and
The Midnight Sons' are also arly ex
pected. Among other musical, productions
will be 'The Glassblowers.' a new opera
by Sousa: Blanche Ring In The YanTSee
Girl ' Lulu Glaser In The Girl From the
States,' and Frank Daniels in The Belle
rf "Rrittonv.'
t. th. dramatic field the Shuberts
are equally strongly equipped in attrac
tions and stars. Among the stars who
will play at the Portland during the sea
son are E. H. Sothern and Julia Mar
lowe, Mary Mannering, Nance- O'Nell.
Bertha Galland, Narimova, Mme. Kallch,
Eugene Walters. Charles Cherry and

Others of Portland Party Starting

When Wheel Breaks Near
Carson Heights.
Thrown out of its course by the
breaking of a wheel, a big touring
car containing seven people turned a
complete somersault yesterday morn
ing at 8 o'clock on the Taylor Ferry
a kv nf Carson Heights, about
eight miles from Portland,
lng its occupants in every
Tho rvnrtv consisted of
Hill Sll Hancock street, an employe of
the Lutke Manufacturing Company, his
wife and little baby; L W. Jones, of
870 Halght street, a well-known land
scape photographer, and his wife and
little girl about 10 years old, and a
chauffeur.
Miraculously the entire party
escaped death, the only person receiv
ing serious Injury being Mr. Hill, whose
arm was dislocated. The others sus
tained no injury whatever, and. beyond
the shaking up and the nervous shock,
were none the worse for the accident.
As the machine turned in the air, the pas
sengers were thrpwn to one side and
when it alighted s upside down none
was caught under It.
The party had started for McMlnn
vllle with the intention of making the
round trip in the day.
Assistance was rendered to the vic
tims by an accommodating farmer liv
ing nearby, who Invited them to his
home, made them comfortable and went
to the telephone. Holman's automobile
ambulance was summoned and Mr. Hill
was conveyed to the Good Samaritan
Hospital, where he was put under an
anaesthetic and his Injuries dressed. His
wife accompanied him and remained at
his bedside during the day. The others
of the party were taken home In an
other automobile sent out for them.
The wrecked machine was left by the
roadside and will be brought back to
the city today. Several hundred dol
lars will be required to repair the dam
ages. The accident came without warning
and its victims were so dased that when
they .were atfirst rendered assistance
they could not give an account of what
had occurred. Mrs. Hill, who later was
watching1 at her husband's side at the
hospital, said:
"It came upon us so quickly that no
one knew what had happened. I did
not realize what it was until it was all
over and I found myself on the ground.
I was frightened for fear that everyone
was hurt. We had a lucky escape. My
husband will no doubt recover soon."
CHAFING DISH STARTS FIRE
Department Makes Two Sunday
Runs to Small Blazes. '
V
The fire department made two runs
yesterday. At 1 o'cDck a blaze occurred
in the apartment of Miss M. Smith, in
the Elm Place at 414 Yamhill . street,
caused by a chafing dish. The blazing
alcohol stove rested upon a table by an
open window. The breeze blew the cur
tain Into the flames and they ignited im
mediately. In an attempt to pull the
burning curtains down and extinguish
them Miss Smith's hands were badly blis
tered. The flames extended to the wood
work and a small part of the furnish
ings of the room but were quickly sub
dued by the firemen.
Another slight fire broke out In the
roof of a dwelling at 593 Thurman street
a short time after the chafing dish acci
dent. Sparks from the chimney were as
signed as the cause. The damage was
trifling.
