PUBLIC TO DECIDE
ON GAR SERVICE
Establishment of Commission
by People Planned in Meet
ing of Complainants.
COMMITTEE OF 100 TO ACT
Irvingtun and Holladay Improve
ment Clubs to Invoke Initiative
to Form Controlling Body.
Resolutions Passed.
At a mass meeting held last night In
the Irvington Clubhouse on East Twenty
Third and Thompson streets, under the
auspices or the Irvington and HoHaday
Improvement Associations, to consider
car sen-ice. it was decided to authorize
the presidents of the two clubs to ap
point a committee of 100 to interview of
ficials of the car company and demand
improvements.
It was also decided that the only way
to settle permanently the car shortage
troubles now existing throughout the
city was to establish a public service
commission, which should have power In
the city to require the electric car com
pany to furnish adequate car service. It
was the unanimous sentiment of the
mass meeting that resolutions and meek
requests to the Portland Railway. Light
& Power Company would not get results,
and that the only effective way to win
was through the power of the people by
Initiative measures.
Many Attend Meeting.
The meeting was attended by nearly
100 property owners and citizens of Irv
ington and Holladay district and from
other sections which are also suffering
from inadequate car service. D.. L.
Povey and Walter H. Evans, presidents
tf the Irvington and Holladay Associa
tions, presided jointly.
The first resolutions set forth the lam
entable condition of the car service on
both the Irvington and Broadway lines,
snd provided for the appointment, by the
president of the two associations, of a
rommittee of not less than 100 members.
This was adopted. H. H. Riddell ad
dressed the meeting, saying that the only
effective way of dealing with the street
car question as a whole In Portland was
through a public service commission,
which would have power tolregulate the
streetcar traffic. He said that such a
commission could be appointed by the
people through the initiative, or through
the Legislature. He preferred the initia
tive for the reason that an attempt to
appoint such a commission through the
Legislature resulted in the measure be
ing defeated by agents of the streetcar
c.ropany. who were sent to Salem In
swarms for that purpose.
Commission Plan Best.
H. R. Albee favored the establishment of
a public service commission for Port
land. Mr. Albee corroborated Mr. Rid
del's statement about the defeat of the
commission in the Legislature through
the efforts of the streetcar comparrj-. He
said if the plan is submitted to the peo
ple throusrh the Initiative it would be
rarried overwhe'.minsly. but might not by
the Legislature. W. F. Woodward sec
onded the establishment of a public serv
ice commission. The idea quickly caught
the sentiment of the meeting and it was
adopted unanimously. The presidents
were authorized to appoint a committee
of fiv. men to draw up an initiative bill
to be submitted to a vote of the people
of Portland at the proper time.
Councilman Menefee spoke briefly, say
ing that Mayor Simon was ready to -aid
the people any time in getting adequate
car service and In expediting improve
ment of streets. H. M. Haller depre
cated severe measures and said that more
rou'.d be accomplished by using molasses
than vinegar, a sentiment the meeting
did not altogether accept. He read a
long letter from Manager Fuller, of the
- streetcar company, setting forth the
causes of delay and reciting the improve
ments that were proposed for the Irving
ton and Holladay section.
Railway Had Promises.
These improvements Included a double
track on Multnomah street, between
Grand avenue and East Fifteenth street,
find on to Broadway street. It was set
forth in the letter than $25,000 had been
provided for this Improvement. It was
a too promised, raid Mr. Haller. that the
line removed from Holladay Park would
he restored and put in better condition.
Mr. Haller said he did not represent the.
company, hut read the letter to show
what the company promised to do in the
way of betterments. More cars were
also promised.
One measure of relief proposed, but not
acted on, was to offer any company a
franchise for a streetcar system in Port
land, and advertise the offer In the money
cefiters of the country, so that there
should be competition. This subject will
b considered further at a later date.
Resolutions adopted in the mass meet-trig-
were as follows:

For the purpose of taking action on
various matters in which they have a
vital interest, the reorganized Rose City
Park Improvement League will hold an

Real Acting Wins
Leading Woman of
IT TOOK most of us a month to pro
nounce Nazimova. It is only in re
cent years that we've learned to speak
Paderewskl's name properly, and most
of us just mutter' it. And when we were
hoping that the next star in the theat
rical or musical galaxy would be a
Jones or Smith there comes a little dark
woman with the fire of genius and
f nitlclsm in her blood, and her name
is Fernanda Eliscu.
For the benefit of those of us whose
tongues hesitate over Roumanian nomen
clature, her name, let It be said. Is
pronounced Fer-non-dah E-Iees koo, with
the accent on the second syllable. From
her accent one would never know she is
foreign, for her English Is remarkably
piire and she speaks easily and fluently.
But she looks foreign and one intuitively
sniffs the air for odors of sandal wood
and exotic plants.'
Miss Eliscu. the star of "The Third
Degree." despite the fact that she is not
heralded as such. Is a Roumanian, a
native of Jassi. and is Jusst 36 years old.
She is not a beautiful woman Insomuch
as regularity of features count, even her
most unflattering photos are likenesses
in line and contour, but the wonderful
expression of the mobile mouth, the
satin-smooth, olive skin, and her mag
nificent eyes, give to her gypsy-Hke face
a spiritual suggestion and attraction that
are compelling. If she is not pretty she
is more than fascinating, small in
stature, with an unpreposses-lng figure
that withal is indolently graceful in
every movement; her voice Is deep and
resonant, almost mannish, and her hands
are those of an artist, white and taper
fingered. ...
Few of us ever remember hearing her
name before. She came here almost un
heralded, no electric lights emblazoned
her name, no huge billboards flung her
elfin bright face at us. But she has
taken Portlanders by storm and unhesi
tatingly she is placed as one of the real
actresses of the American stage and
heaven knows there are none too many.
To be truthful, there are several so-called
stars, whose best work would retire to
obscurity when brought Into contsast
with the undoubted genius, simplicity and
magnetism of this little,- quiet woman.
Off stag Miss 'Eliscu sparkles and ra
diates like sunshine. She is youth and
joy Incarnate. Her eyes, like big, bril
liant Jewel, have a golden glow in their
dark depths. She laughs with her eyes,
talks with them, weeps with them; one
almost imagines they serve for tongue
ond hands, too.
"I always laugh and sing when I'm
through my work." she eald. dancing
about her dressing-room. "I do it merely
for the relief It gives me from the strain
of the serious Annie Jeffries role. If I
didn't. I'd be howling both on and off the
stage.
"But you don't really weep with your
audience?" was asked.
"Oh, sometimes, but not often. Tou
see I can't let my emotions master me.
for then I'm not myself and can't do my
best work. I feel the part intensely, the
grief of Annie Is genuine to me. and I
nfttlmes have hard work to keep back
my tears1.'
Her part Is that of a factory girl, a
waitress, who has married the weak son
of a millionaire society man. a girl with
out education. The role portrays just a
noble, self-effacing and loving daughter
of tfc ordinar walk t life; a girl who
LOWIT'S FIGHT AT
T
Report Says He Denied Being
American to Get Eng
land's Aid.
THREE FIRMS HIS LAWYERS
Prisoner Awaits Release on 910,000
Bond to Be Furnished by Secur
ity Company He Paces
His Cell, Angry.
The strait into which Gus Lowit. for
mer manager of the Golden Eagle depart
ment store, was led in his effort to es
cape extradition from Colorado to Oregon
is shown by the report that he went to
the extremity of swearing that he was a
British subject. He threatened, it Is
said, to appeal to the British Consul if
an attempt were made to take him from
Denver. However, shortly after bis ar
rest he signed a legal paper in which he
took oath that he is an American citizen.
Deputy Sheriff R. F. Beatty. who re
turned with Lowit late Monday night,
said yesterday that the accused man -put
up a strong fight against coming to Port
land and that he was favored by large
Denver Interests. Lowit had three firms
of lawyers defending him.
- Bonds Raised Late.
Only by a narrow margin Lowit missed
filing his bond of J10.000 last night to se
cure his release from jail. As Presiding
Circuit Judge Bronaugh had gone home
before Attorney Alex Sweek. had succeed
ed In securing the signature of the United
States Fidelity & Guaranty Company to
the bond, it was decided not to file It
until this morning. Judge Bronaugh
waited at the Courthouse until after 5
o'clock last night for Mr. Sweek to bring
the bond for his O. K.. and when r.te
could wait no longer, left word for the
interested parties to see him at his house.
He Dislikes Fnss.
In the meantime. Lowit paced back
and forth in the County Jail corridor,
noticeably worried oyer his predlca-ment-
"I can't see what people want to
make such a fuss over me for," he
said. "Can't you fellows find anything
else to write about? Gee! It must be
nice to be the President of the United
States and to be interviewed. Why,
when I was back in Denver it was
Hello. Gus, hello. Gus.' and an extended
hand from the people I never saw be
fore in my life: just becauses I was
walking along the street with Deputy
Sheriff Beatty. Oh. it's nice to be pop
ular. I was just telling a funny little
yarn down here this morning, and here
it is, all in the paper. Don't you think
that is a fine likeness of me?" he added,
pointing to a front-page cut.
"It doesn't do Justice to you. Gus,"
sarcastlcalyy remarked a court official,
who stood nearby.
Cell Gets on Xerves.
Then he turned to telephone to Alex
Sweek to learn whether his bond had
been made out, and how much longer he
would be obliged to remain in the jail
cellar. "I'd never do for this jail business."
he said,, when he had finished using the
telephone. "This gets on my nerves.

has suffered, -whose, father died a con
vict. And yet for all her environments,
she has remained clean, unsullied in
character, womanly In herself, and lav
ished on her boy hushand the wealth of
all her heart.
It is this role she enacts, with a sim
plicity and withal an intensity that com
pelled every member of her audience to
rivet his consciousness upon her pres
ence, arid quite without volition, believe
absolutely in her. She does not rant,
and at the same time she does not carry
her repression to such a climax that in
the strong scenes she looks and acts as
If she were asking for the pickles. And.
best of all, she does not snivel or howl
too much: but like the little wee-wee
brown bear's porridge it's "Just enough
and right."
The role of Annie Jeffries is 'one of
more real opportunity, of less artificiality,
than any other. The average theater
goer likes her philosophy, because it Is
largely his own; he understands her: the
type appeals to him: she has no veneer 1
of education or convention to mask her
feelings.
The character is played exactly as Miss
Elltcu conceives it to be, down to the
Now, I suppose you would like to know
who the bondsmen are, wouldn t you:
Well, there won't be any. I shall have
a surety company on my bond. I sup
pose my trial will come off tomorrow, or
before the end of the week, won't it?"
When informed that W Cooper Mor-i
rls and W. H. Moore, indicted on the
same charge with himself, that of em
bezzling upwards of JoO.OOO from the
Oregon Trust Savings Bank, had en
tered demurrers to the indictment,
which would have the effect of post
poning the trfal. he said. "Well, that's
not for me. They can't have the trial
finished any too quick for me. But
then, I suppose that will be up to the
District Attorney; he tan have the trial
set any time he chooses. .
"I'll tell you one thing, though. I
never broke my, word in my life. Say,
it's no crime to borrow money, is it?
They wanted me here as a witness, and
rather than pay the Denver lawyers,
I came. When the proper time comes,
I shall be glad to tell everything I
know about the Oregon Trust Bank's
affairs."
Asked whether he is acquainted with
a Mr. Jackson, who Denver dispatches
Intimated was responsible for crooked
loans to his department store, if such
were' made, he said: ' "No." He said
he has heard of such a man, but that
he is not a brother-in-law of W. Cooper
Morris.
PARTNER ASKS FOR RECEIVER
Failure to Keep Track of Profits Al
; leged by Expressman.
To secure the appointment of a re
ceiver for Noland's Baggage; Express
& Transfer Company. J. H. Petterson,
one of the partners, brought suit In the
Circuit Court yesterday, alleging that
E. F. Noland, the other partner, re
fuses to give him access to the com
pany's accounts.
Petterson says he took a partnership
interest in the business last June, with
the understanding that he was to pay
J500 into the firm, be allowed $10 a
week expense money, and to turn the
balance of half the profits Into the
firm until the total reached $1500. He
now accuses Noland of failing to keep
account of the profits.
Petterson-wants the debts paid, the
partnership dissolved, and the busi
ness sold, and asks that Noland be re
strained . in the meantime from con
tracting further debts.
Doctor Sues for Bill.
Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie has brought
suit In the Circuit Court through B.
Scott to recover a $350 doctor's bill
from W"illiam and Jennie Fest. Dr.
Mackenzie says that between March
10 and August 9, 1906. he was called
to attend Mrs. Fest, but was not paid
for it. He wants 6 per cent Interest
in addition to the $350. He assigned
the claim to Scott for collection. .
INVESTMENT FIRMS UNITE
T. S. McGrath and T. B. Neuhausea
to Handle Timber Lands.
In order to take over the representa

snd private banking houses of New
Tork, Boston and Chicago, T. S. Mc
Grath and Thomas B. Neuhausen have
effected a combination of their Invest
ment and timber land business. The
new concern is known as the McGrath

Mr. McGrath has been engaged in the
bonding and investment business, and
Mr. Neuhausen, who resigned his Gov
ernment position more than a year ago,
for the purpose of engaging in the tim
ber land business, was for several
years chief land inspector on the Pa

Interior. The business of the new firm
will be the buying and selling of in

idea of the eternal fitness of things seems
most apt.
It has been currently reported that Miss
FJiscti's first theatrical experience was In
a Yiddish theater.
"Really. I can't understand how that

"for I was on the English-speaking stage
seven years before I even could talk the
Yiddish language. When I took up the

Civic Center for Portland
Seems Assured.
SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE LARGE
Pians of City Beautiful Committee
Partially Realized Through Re
sults ot First Day's Can
vass for Money.
Canvass of one day by the finance
committee of the City Beautiful Com
mittee resulted well up to the expec
tations of the prime movers In the plan
to employ Architect Bennett, of the firm
of Burnham & Bennett, of Chicago, for
making plans for a civic center in a
model Portland.
The committee started on the canvass
yesterday to secure the $20,000 required
by December 1 to secure the services
of Mr. Bennett. It was hoped to se
cure $10,000 by nightfall, and the can
vassers mapped out enough calls to
bring in this amount of money and suc
ceeded in having a total of $9100 sub
scribed by night.
John C. Ainsworth. John C. Lewis and
A. H. Devers were the canvassers who
called on the prominent citizens of
Portland and they state that in no
case were they refused subscriptions,
the only reason the $10,000 mark, set
for the first day, was not reached was
that a number of the people upon whom
they called were not in their offices.
The work Vill be continued today and
tomorrow.
Two subscriptions were received with
special pleasure by the canvassing com
mittee. These were the pledges of T.
B. Wilcox, of the Portland Flouring
Mills, and of Frederick V. Holman. Mr.
Wilcox had spoken against the plan
at the meeting of the City Beautiful
(.Committee and at the time had said
he would subscribe to me movement.
Mr. Holman, however, had also talked
against the movement and so strong
was his opposition that little was hoped
from him in the way of a subscription.
Both' men contributed willingly, how
ever yesterday.
In addition to the $5700 pledged to
start the movement at the meeting, the
following amounts have been secured
by the finance committee:
Ladd Estate Company. $500; Flelsch-ner-Mayer
Co., $500; Dr. Andrew C.
Smith, $500; Corbett Estate. $500; Pa

Intestinal Indigestion
A Form of Dyspepsia Usually Re
sulting From the Inability to
Digest Starchy-Foods.
There are a great many persons who
are victims of what is known as in
testinal indigestion, a disease which is
due to the fact that the starchy foods
are either partially digested or not di
gested nt all, and the result of this
trouble "may be either an obstinate con
stipation or a persistent diarrhoea.
This inability to digest starch is
called "amylaceous dyspepsia." a dis
ease which is much in evidence. Ameri
cans are notoriously poor digesters of
starch, and as starchy foods, such as
potatoes, rice, bread, etc.. are digested
entirely in the small Intestine, and not
In tho stomach proper, as is generally
supposed, it can be readily seen how
intestinal indigestion will usually pro
duce diarrhoea.
In the small intestine the pancreatic
juice acts upon the starches and ordi
narily, in a state ot health, possesses
the power of converting them into
grape sugar and dextrine. Starch must
be so transformed before it can be of
use to the animal being. Remaining
as unchanged starch. It either passes
through the alimentary canal, and
proves a useless burden to the system,
because it resists absorption, or it.
causes intestinal Indigestion, the food
products becoming acrid through putre
faction, which often pets up a catarrhal
inflammation of the intestine, resulting
in diarrhoea.

When, a remedy has lived for over thirty years, steadily
growing in popularity and influence, and thousands upon
thousands of women declare they owe their very lives to it,
is it not reasonable to believe that it is an article of great
merit?
We challenge the world to show any other one remedy
for a special class of disease which has attained such an
enormous demand and maintained it for so many yeare as
has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the famous
woman's remedy for woman's ills. Unless it is a very good
medicine and the claims made for it are honest, such a record
would have been impossible fraud or misrepresentations
would long ago have been detected and the business gone
into oblivion. Read this unsolicited letter:
Melbourne, Iowa : "I suffered for many years with female
troubles, inflammation, and bearing-down pains, so that I was
unable to do my work.
" Liydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended.
and I am so thankful for the great good it has done me. I
that I am a living advertisement for this medicine as I have
influenced so many of my friends to use it, so thankful am I
that it restored me to health." Mrs. Clara AVatermann, R. JJ. 1,
Melbourne, Iowa.
When a woman like Mrs. Watermann is generous enough
to write such a letter as the above for publication, she
should at least be given credit for a sincere desire to help
other suffering women. For we assure you there is no
other reason why she should court such publicity.
I We say it in all sincerity and
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
' has thousands of cures to its credit,
nnn Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
fcjfSKjj? to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health free of charge.
