I frijJ g TRIBUTE TO DEAD GREAT 'JIM" EURlfTlSON- CAN NEVER BE REPLACED . General Manager Inverarity Lands "" Late Orphcum Head Funeral to Be Held Today. A high tribute was paid to James H. Errlckson. who suddenly died at his work as manager of the Orpheum Theater here last Tuesday morning. D. O. Inverarity, general manager for Sullivan & Consl dine. came to Portland yesterday from Seattle to take charge of the theater un til a manager can be secured to fill the position held by Mr. Errlckson. "The news of Mr. Errickson's death came as a terrible shock to us all," said Mr. Inverarity. "Mr. Consldine had no man whom he valued more highly as a friend nor more highly on account of his business associations. The loss to the firm of Sullivan & Considlne Is practical ly Irreparable. It Is all very well to say that every man's shoes can be filled but that was not the case with 'Jim.' It may be possible to find a man as well able to take charge of the business affairs of the theater, but It will be impossible to find a man so popular, to find a man so well liked by every one with whom he came In contact. "The loss of Mr. Errlckson will be felt from coast to coast. He was even bet ter known In New York than In Port land. As a rule the actors are usually fighting their managers but. strange as it may seem, when the actors and ac tresses would reach Seattle they would tell me. 'Well, we are going to have a good time next week, we are goins down. with Jim Errlckson.' It was that way everywhere. All loved him. all relied on him, and-the actors and actresses, in stead of feeling him their enemy, would go to him with their little troubles, would have him give them advice and they always found him Teady and willing to aid them with a loan If they needed It or with advice if that was what they wanted. "To our firm the loss Is great from a business standpoint. He was an honest man, one on whom we could rely all the time and when the Seattle office heard the shocking news It was simply par alyzed. The sams was true all over the circuit." The funeral will be held at 10:S0 o'clock this morning from the Ericson chapel, 409 Alder street. It will be held under the SUfipices ui in?

Mr. Errlckson was 36 years of age and Is survived by a widow. His father-in-law, A. M. Stone, of Hanford, Cal., is here to attend the services. College Professor Suicide. CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov. IS.
