14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, 3IONDAY, MARCH T, 1910, FAMILY TROUBLE CAUSE OF EXILE St. Louis Musician Tells He Suddenly and Mysterious ly Disappeared. ORGANIST MAY STAY HERE fcucien E. Becker Says Health Not Good In Missouri and as He Likes Portland He May Xot Re turn to Old Home. Lucien E. Becker, the St. Louis musi cian who was secretly married in New York City to Miss Edith Small, and who has now opened the Becker Con servatory of Music at 226 Grand ave iue. North, declared yesterday that a desire to regain his health was his rea son for suddenly leaving- St. Louis .three years agro.' He admitted, how ever, that business troubles and a feel- ' Ing- that his talent was not appreciated also figured in his sudden departure for New York and Europe. Ha intimated that he had trouble with his two brothers, who are teach ers in St. Louis of vocal and piano. What ithe trouble was, however, he re- (used to say. Musician Talks Reluctantly. "No man likes to talk about his troubles in business life, you know," paid Mr. Becker. "But it is very true that if anything is to be found out, tho press will- discover it. "I left St. Louis three years ago upon the advice of my physician. I took a year's leave of absence from the Knights of Columbus' Choral Club and the St. Louis Orchestra, telling them to secure a substitute director. "I intended to go to Europe to study. But when I made up my mind to marry I changed my plans. It is true I did not tell them at the time that I in tended to become a benedict, but I think some of them knew it. If I had It to do again I would advertise it broadcast at the time. Then I would have it over. As it is now, there is no end to it. "Miss Small and I agreed to meet in New York City, and there we were mar ried in the Jesuit Church. Then we 'took the steamer for Paris. "While in Europe I met Peter Perosi, brother of Lorenzo Perosi, the great authority on church music. After remaining in Paris for about six months we went through Germany. Switzerland and Holland to England. I was very much pleased with England. I thought New York was busy until I saw London. "From there we went to Australia and then to Vancouver, B. C. We stopped at Seattle on our way down the Coast, but we are not now thinking of going farther south. We like Portland, we like the people here, and we Intend to stay. Of course there is a possi bility that I might accept a position in St. Louis., as I. said once before. That would depend upon what kind of an offer was made me. Becker Objected to Scandal. "It is true" that afterI left I didn't write to some of the people to whom I should have written. One of the let ters I wrote was taken by my friend and turned over to the St. Louis Repub lic. One of the papers started a scandal about me. It made a mountain of -a molehill. The letters referred to in your dispatch of last Friday were prob ably ones I wrote a year ago. "I was in Europe when the year's leave of absence I had asked for ex pired. I then made up my mind not to return to St. Louis, because the climate did not agree with me. I was a nerv ous wreck when I left there. So we continued traveling. "I am now acting as organist at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, East Third and Clackamas streets. I have not been asked to take a position in St. Louis. My only source of information is a telegram from a St. Louis news paper correspondent asking me point blank if I intended to accept the posi tion at the cathedral there. I don't know whether the cathedral at St. Louis wants me. Even if I were asked to take the place I would have to think over, the matter." BISTEH CLEARS tP MYSTERY Becker 'Left St. Louis Fearing Wrath of Wife's Former Husband.' ST. LOUIS. Mo., March 6. (Special.) The mysterious disappearance and three year absence of Luclen E. Becker, musi cian of local fame, was cleared up by Mrs. Louise Plass, of Vinlta Park, St. Louis County. Mrs. Plass, sister of the now Mrs. Becker, declares that the long absence of Mr. and Mrs. Becker is accounted for. She formerly was Mrs. Gill, and told her sister that the feared the anger of iher former husband in case she married after her divorce-, several years previous to the last wedding. According to Mrs. Plass, Becker shared Mrs. Gill's fears and sympathized with her. Becker at that time was president of the Becker Bros. Conservatory. He became acquainted with Mrs. Gill and friendship ripened into love. Mrs. Plass was acquainted with the state of affairs and was asked for ad vice. She advocated an elopement and the burying of tho fact of the marriage until such time as Mrs. Gill thought it eafe to return. According to Mrs. Plass, their fear of the wrath of Mrs. Becker's former hus band has disappeared in the three years they have been married and they pro pose to come back and enjoy life with their friends and relatives. Mr. Becker has been teaching music In Portland. At the Theaters "AS TUB CJJ WENT DOWN." A Melodrama, In Poor Acts, Present ed at the Baker Theater. CAST.

A buxom peroxide lady. ' Colonel Billy. hints and finally speaks almost plainly of a very had past. She loves a nice, gentle gambler, a hero-sized person witfli a limp black mustache and a belt full of cartridges. He talks in his boots and waves his hands deprecatingly when ever anyone refers to the said past of the said lady. A parson drifts in. Oh, that parson! He's a slender, corseted creature but toned to his eyes in a black suit. He mouths treatises and sermonettes with every step. Conveniently he contracts consumption and is taken to the naughty lady's house. He convinces everyone how bad and generally ornery they are, reunites those whom the exigencies of the play have torn asunder, and is shot in the third act. But the shot struck a little prayer-book in the parson's pocket and was deflected. A' note of originality is lent " by a rattlesnake, the pet of the minister's sweetheart, a giddy girl of 16 who wears her hair down her back. She carelessly leaves John L. Sullivan the snake on a bench where she knows the villain Is to sit in the next act and the villain Is bit ten on the hand. He asks for whisky, but it is Sunday and none is forthcom ing. The minister gives him the key to his private distillery and the bad man creeps away to slow music. Estha Williams is the bad lady "Colonel Billy." Victory Bateman Is in the cast in a minor role. Even this one time star with Aubrey Bouccicault cannot get away from the all-oervadlne mellow ness of the . play, although individually she does excellent work. The play will be repeated every night this week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. PERSONALMENTION. Jj. M. Jones and wife, of Meiifnrj ,r at the Seward. F. C.

Californian Preaches at White Tem ple, but Asks Hearers Not to Be Critical. W. B. Hinson, minister of a Baptist Church of 1200 members In San Diego, preached at the "White Temple yes terday, his subject being, "The Good Man Who Went Wrong." Before launching upon his subject he told the large congregation present that he would not be a candidate for the posi tion as pastor of the local Baptist Church. . "So it will not be necessary for you to listen to me critically," he added. General expressions of, pleasure and appreciation of the sermon were heard afterwards, and it was evident that many would be well suited to have him called to fjll the vacant pulpit. But his remark at the beginning of the ser mon leaves litle hope that this will be the case. Dr. Hinson's text was Mark xvi:7: "But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter." The substance of the ser mon was as follows: I want to how you how Simon Peter went wronar. and then how he cot right. First of alL we are told that he followed Jesus afar off. He could not quite desert him. If & man has ever seen the beauty of his face and heard the melody of his voice, he may fall out of the ranks, but he i apt to be found following. even though it he afar off. Then he stood with the enemies of Christ and warmed aimself. And then Peter sat down with them. And after a little while a maid came and said to those about. "He was with Jesus. I saw him": and Peter said. "You. did not." And then others came afld said. "You are one of those Gallileans; we know by the way you talk." And Peter said. "I don't know the man you are talking about," and he confirmed his denial with an oath. Alas for the weakness of poor humanity; there he lies, the great big-hearted, sympathetic. Impetuous Simon Peter, a perjured liar. Now give me a. minute to tell you how he got right again. Jesus looked at him. The bitterest drop in the cup that Jesus was called to. drink in that judgment hall was not distilled from the cruelty of Ko xnan soldier or priest or Pharisee. He looked upon Peter as I think he looks upon you and me when he sees in our lives those things which have kept him to this day. the man of sorrows and ac quainted with griefs. If Peter had seen the face of his Lord when they said to him, "Peter, you belong to him, your speech betrays you," he would have stood up and said. "Yes, by the God of my fath ers. I know him and 1 love him and, fol low him." But at that look Peter rises up and goes out. a broken-hearted man. The crushed and fallen Peter, after learn ing of Christ risen, goes away with new joy in his heart. Then there came the time when all the concentrated ecclesias tical pever of Palestine looked Peter in the face and said, "Don't say anything more about Jesus Christ." and Peter an swered boldly. "We ought to obey God rather than men." and went on and preached his great Pentecostal sermons which brought men. and women .by thou sands into the visible kingdom of God. Are we like Simon Peter in his time of cowardice and denial? Are we following afar -off? Let us press up close. Are we out from among them and bo ye separate. our Savior? Have we denied our Master in our lives, if not with our lips? Then own- up to the world that the denial was a lie. that you. love- Him and serve him. and that your highest ambition is to spend eternity with him. Girl's Assailant Insane. LAKE VIEW, Or., March 6. (Special.) Bert Petree, a young man recently arrested for attacking a girl in Warner Valley In Lake County, was today com mitted to the insane asylum by the County Court. Petree had been in Jail but a short time when he began to show mental weakiiers. In a few days he became violent.

Cheerfulness and a bright disposition during the months before baby comes, are among the greatest blessings a mother can bestow upon the little life about to begin. Her happiness and physical com fort will largely govern the proper development of the health and nature of the child. Mother's Friend contributes much to the moth er's happiness and health by the relief and mental comfort it affords. It is a liniment composed of penetrating oils and medicines which lubricate the muscles and tendons of the body, soothe the swollen mammary glands, cause a gradual expansion of the skin and tissues, and aid in the relief of nausea. The regular use of Mother's Friend greatly lessens the pain and danger when baby comes, and assures a quick and natural recovery for the mother. Mother's Friend is sold at drug stores.

NO HURRY, SAY LOCAL MEN With Fonr Months Intervening Be fore Day for Selection of Dele gates Reason for Haste Is Not Recognized. Assembly advocates in the outside counties of the state are becoming Impatient with Multnomah Republic ans because they have not outlined some plan for holding these advisory gatherings. This was the burden of a message brought to Portland yester day by W. L. Jones, chairman of the Marion County Republican Central Committee. Mr. Jones says the Re publicans of his county are enthusi astic for the assembly, but are ex pecting the party workers in Multno mah County to take the initiative In outlining the details. There is no disposition on the part of Republicans here to act hastily in pursuance of the recommendations of the State Central Committee, with which the party in this county Is in accord. . They refer' to the fact that the state committee proposes that delegates to county assemblies be chosen In the different counties on Saturday, July 9. with the county gatherings meeting the following Sat urday and selecting delegates to the state assembly, which meets July 21. With four months intervening before the date suggested for the initial se lection of assembly delegates. Repub licans insist that there is no need for haste in assembling the county central committees either in Multno mah or in any of the other counties. They argue that plenty of time re mains in which these committees may meet prior to July 7 to ratify the work of the state committee, provide a plan for selecting delegates and arrange all other details incident to the county and state assemblies. Marion Republicans United. "The Republicans of Marion County are more strongly united for party organization this year then ever be fore," said Mr. Jones at the Imperial yesterday. "We are In favor of the assembly plan and are desirous of be ginning immediately to make prelim inary arrangements for carrying out the suggestions of the state commit tee. We have thus far deferred call ing the county central committee to- gether, hoping that the organization in Multnomah county would, through Its executive committee, arrange a meeting of ihe entire committee and devise some general plan of proced ure. "Unless Multnomah Republicans soon set the pace in this matter, it is en tirely probable that I shall call the Marion County committee together and we will decide on some plan which will insure the most thoroughly reprei sentative county assembly for the elec tion of delegates to the state gather ing that can be devised. "Republicans in Marion County thoroughly agree that the county as sembly should be large and repre sentative of the voters of the county. They favor the election of all dele gates at either precinct primaries or precinct mass meetings. Many Repub licans also believe that the members of the county central committee should be delegates to the county assembly, in addition to the apportionment on the precinct basis which may be de cided by the county committee. Com m i tee men Just as Representative "In support of this arrangement Re publicans argue that the county com mittee consists of one member from each precinct. Each committeeman was elected In a regular election and represents the choice of a majority of the voters of his party in that pre cinct. For that reason they are thor oughly representative of the voters of their precinct and are properly entitled to participate in the county assembly. "There is one thing the Republicans of my county do intend to do in con nection with organizing their county assembly. We purpose eliminating all Democrats from participation in the election which may be held for electing delegates to the county assembly. Services of Democrats are not wanted and we will be prepared to turn down any volunteer offers from that source. We will exert every effort to prevent a repetition of ' previous activity by Democrats in Republican primaries. We Intend to have a Republican assembly composed of Republican delegates."
