Walter H. Evans. State Senator Dan Kel

Coopor and H. H. Riddell. It was decided
that the measure should be made an ini

th Legislature. '
William F. Woodward, who advocated
the establishment of a public service com
mission, said' yesterday:
Woodward Sees Only So ration.
' "I regard the establishment of a public
service commleelon as the real solution
of the streetcar troubles In thia dty.
While we in the Irvlngton district are
Ifcavlng our difficulties, other sections in
'Portland are In the same situation, and
I we should undertake to get relief for the
j whole city, and not for ny particular
locality." .
C A Bigelow. president of the East Bide
Business Men s Club, said: "I am heart
- lly in sympathy with the movement for
'the establishment of a public service com
mission in Portland. If a railroad com
; mission works well throughout the state,
it will work In Portland. Such commis
sion should have power to go at the root
'of complaints and require relief."

It is difficult to deal with such a letter.
He did not read carefully the article on
Miss Ellscu. which not only made It plain
in many ways that aha was a Jewess, but
referred to her In distinct terms as a "little
dark woman with the fire of genius and
Bemltlclsm In her blood." It would seem
that there ought to have been no mlsunder

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? A ......... .......
Association, which yesterday purchased a
beautiful plot In Kiverview v.enieicij
as a place of rest for the remains of their
warm friend and companion as well as
for the burial place for any members of
the association who may die here. The
members of the T. M. A. will escort the
body ' past the Orpheum Theater after
the services when they will disband and
take the .cars to Kiverview Cemetery.
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.
