TIIE -MORXIXG- . OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1910. GROCERS SATISFIED WITH 15 PER CENT Cost-of-Living Committee Is Told That Butter Price Is Fixed in Elgin. TRADE HAS SUPPOSITION Hous Learns That Navy Can Be Fed Cheaper, on Coast of China Than Elsewhere Prices Were High in 1836, Too. WASHINGTON, March 10- Inquiry Into the high cost of living was resumed Wednesday by the Senate commit tee, which examined Edward F. Hall, who conducts a local grocery and meat market. He said that the biggest Jump in meat price he had ever known was In the last two years. Mr. Hall said that he figured oh a gross profit of 15 per cent, but was satisfied with a net profit of S per cent. This caused Senator Smoot to Inquire: "Then, how is it you have ac cumulated 935,000 in 15 years?" The reply of Mr. Hall was regarded by the committee as somewhat evasive. Elgin Fixes Butter Price. Mr. Hall said that Elgin creamery butter was the standard and that the price was fixed at Elgin. He stated that it was a trade supposition- that a number of manufacturers' in Klgin get together and fix the price of Elgin butter. Senator Lodge has discovered that there was a time in. the past when prices were unusually high. The fact came to him through an old document of the Twenty-fourth Congress. It is a recommendation by the Secretary of the Treasury for an Increase in the sal aries of clerks, and the Senator yesterday obtained from the Senate permission for the reprinting of the paper. Prices High In 1836, Too. The paper was accompanied by a private memorandum of expenses kept by a clerk, which showed .that the price of sugar was 14 cents a-pound at, that time, flour J8 a barrel and illuminating oil $1 a gallon. On the other hand, labor received only 75 cents a day. The date of the docu ment was 1S36. It costs less to feed the Navy on the Chinese coast than at any other por tion of the globe, according to figures transmltetct to the House yesterday by Secretary Meyer, Ira response to a resolu tion calling for the prices paid for food stuffs at home and in foreign ports dur ing 1000. Eggs Cheap in China. Fresh beef was 5 cents a pound at Chee Fbo and 16 a Gibraltar: 6 cents at Key West and 10 cents at Pensacola; at Mew Tork; more than 7 at Boston, Wash ington and San Francisco; 8 to 10 in Japan, 9 in Constantinople and from 12 to .14 in Panama. Chicken was 14 to 25 nt home and 9 to 27 abroad; eggs cost from S to I cents a dozen at Chinese ports but in the United States they were 22 cents at Wash. Ington and at Charleston, S. C. 34 cents, with Port Lima at 65 cents, the highest abroad. Bread ranged at home from 3 to al most 5 cents a loaf, and abroad-from a, little under 2 to almost 10. Potatoes ran from 1 to 3 cents a pound at home and 1 to 6 cents abroad. Ice, running from 15 to 50 cents per hundred pounds at home, ranged from 26 to 96 cents abroad. BAKER PLANS THEATER LEASE OF XEW GROUND TJXDER CONSIDERATION". Plans in Architect's Bands Call for Expenditure or $70,000 for Improvements. Plans are being rushed by a local architect for a new theater to be built in the immediate future by George L. Baker. The site for the new building is the northwest corner of Eleventh and Morrison streets, the quarter block ad joining the Bungalow Theater. At present this property Is held under lease by the United Carriage Company, but Mr. Baker has made con ditional plans for taking over the lease, and it is expected that the transfer will be made in a few days. This lease runs 13 years, with an option of renew al for 10 years. The site, 100 by 100 feet, is considered large enough for a structure of the kind projected. This building is not to be an abso lutely new structure, although it is to be fireproof. At present there is a large brick building occupied by the carriage company, and it is. proposed to remodel this extensively, and to have it ready for the opening of the Fall sea son, when a stock company will be in stalled. The plans for the building have been worked out only tentatively. -It is planned to have a three-story brick fireproof structure covering the entire property, .with stores occupying a small depth on the Morrison-street frontage. There will be a seating capacity of 1400, and a stage 30 by 80 feet, with dressing-rooms, property-rooms, lobby, smoking-rooms and offices up to date and well appointed. The main entrance will be on the corner, and the Eleventh-street front age will be given over to exits. Mr. Baker yesterday . requested the City Council to grant permission for making the necessary alterations to the build ing. The cost of the work is estimated at $70,000. BANK DEPOSITION IS MADE Receiver Devlin Flies Oregon Trust Affidavit. Preliminary to the civil action to be tried In the Circuit Court to place the financial liability of the shortage in funds of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank on Its officers. Thomas C. Devlin, receiver of the defunct bank, gave his deposition before County Judge Cleeton yesterday. The efforts of Attorneys Hall and Ful ton to have Mr. Devlin tell the source from which the money ha9 been received to pay off the depositors of the insolvent bank, proved a failure. Mr. Devlin de clared that all he knew was that it was furnished by P. il Willis. As an explanation of his line of ques tioning. Attorney Hall said, after the de position was taken, that he had received information that tended to show that the ' money being pafd by Willis was furnished by William Mead, a brother-in-law . of Ixuls J. Wilde. Mr. Wilde was active in numy ot the legal transactions in which the. Oregon Trust & Savings Bank paid out money on investments, and it was Implied that he has an interest in seeing that the depositors get their money. Many of the questions asked Mr. Devlin aimed to bring out his knowledge' of Mr. Wilde's transactions that -concerned the German-American Bank and the Oregon Trust. Mr. Devlin denied having a per sonal knowledge of many of the transactions-. He explained that stock of the German American Bank, with a par value of $175,500 had been turned over to him, S. C. Reed, P. L. -Willis and W. S. Bridges, as a result of a $1200 loan they had made on it, the stock never having been re deemed. In an interview later Mr.. Devlin said that the value of this stock had been lessened so much by the reduction of the capital stock of the bank to $200,000, that its present value was not much more than had been paid for it when it came to him and associates by default of re demption. This stock, Mr: Devlin said, was left with them by S. A. Reed. He did not know whether Mr. Wilde had any indirect part in the deal. Walter H. Moore, who was president of the Oregon Savings & Trust Company at the time it became insolvent, will be the next to give his deposition in the case.

BAD FOOD MUTINY CAUSE FISHING CREW REFUSES TO WORK OR LEAVE SHIP. During Blinding Snow Storm Pilot Wonld Run Ship on Rock; Fight Follows. VANCOUVER, B. C, March 10. (Spe cial.) A wireless message received to day from the fishing steamer Chicago, owned in Seattle, stated that fishermen on the vessel mutinied Sunday morn ing and refused to work or leave the ship. Captain Cann offered to put the crew off at Ketchikan, but to settle matters, finally turned back for Seattle. On Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, while in a blinding snow storm, the fisherman at the wheel let the ves sel get off her course, evidently trying to run her on the rocks. A fight between him and the mate ensued, after which the mate took the wheel. The latter says the crew threat ened to seize the ship and hang him, but the skipper's orders to the wire less operator to stand ready to sum mon aid to arrest the crew evidently quieted' the trouble. The crew allege that their food was of the worst quality. Tacoma Clerk Resigns. TACOMA, Wash., March 10. (Special.) City Clerk L. W.

Bugamelli Tragedy and blood and plenty of it principally caused by "wives who had lovers to whom their husbands strenu ously objected, formed the keynotes to the musical feast .dealt out by the Lam bardl Grand Opera Company at the Bung alow Wednesday night- - It was Italian tragedy at that, where retribution was dealt out to the guilty without calling in- the aid of the police. Tho two -hills were Mascagni's "Caval ier! a - Rusticana" and Leonvacallo's "I'Pagllacci," two 'Operas" that require neither ornate stage mountings nor state ly ceremonial, . but only dramatic act ing and singing leading up to thrilling conclusions. The audience was again large, as before, but just as enthusiastic and: Insistent on encores. , Signor Fulgenzio Guerrleri, the con-, ductor, repeated his former success in handling soloists, chorus and orchestra with commendable credit, and without looking at" a scrap of music to refresh his memory a wonderful feat. Among the soloists who made hits were: Ester Adeberto, Elvira Bosetti, Angelo Antola and Alessandro Scalabrini. Portland is tolerably famili with both "Cavallerla Rusticana" end "I'Pagllacci" and has its high ideals of them. These ideals did not suffer in the least by the rendition of last night renditions which were faithful, earnest and altogether ade quate. We may quarrel with Puccini and those who helped him with the cre ation of "Madam Butterfly" and com plain as to the rule demanding Italian words wedded to an opera that has a Japanese setting, with an American hero, and say: "Why should not the language used be either Japanese or English?" But "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "I'Pagliaeci" belong to the real Italian atmosphere, and their Italian settings should not be disturbed. Naturally, the Italians who sang last night were quite at home and did their best. - Pietro Mascagni's "Cavallerla Rusti cana" was first written for and took a prize at Rome, where it was first per formed May 20, 1890, and the delighted composer was - called before the curtain 20 times. The hit made him famous for life. The principal roles were then taken by Gemma Belliconi and Roberto Stag no. The opera was first produced in this country, at Philadelphia, Pa., September 9, 1891, with this cast: Santuzza. Madame Kronold; Lola, Miss Campbell, Turridu, Guule; Alflo, Del Puente, and Lucia, Jeannie Teal. In last night's cast. Madam Bosetti, a dramatic soprano with a strong voice of fine quality, was a convincing Santuzza, and her vibrato adds to the value of her singing. She has good breath control. Bertossl is kindly remembered here In the same part, and now we must add Bosetti. In place of Giovanni Nadal, Al essandro Scalabrini, tenor robusto, was the Turiddu. His voice is a powerful one in the middle register, weak in the lower, and at times inclined toward hus- klness when he strains his voice to get a dramatic effect on a high note. He is otherwise a capable singer and a- fin ished actor. - The "Mama Lucia" part was well sung. The orchestra made a fine impres sion with its well-balanced rendition of the intermezzo, and the selection was so well liked that a repetition was de manded. Antola, the baritone, dominated both In singing and acting in "I" Pagliacci," and his impressive dinging of the famous prologue, before the show- com mences, distinctly added to the artistic reputation he has made in this por trayal. Ester Adeberto, dramatic soprano, was the Nedda, and she is more ma ture than most of the Nedclas seen here. Adeberto has a finely trained voice, of good volume. Her emission of tone is worth watching. It Is so well done. She also excels in dramatic acting. Alessandro was the Canto, and here he deepened the favorable Impression ho had already made, by the tierce in tensity of his portrayal. Giana was a pic turesque Arlecchino, and Bugamelli was fair as the Silvio. I" Pagliacci," an opera within an opera, was first produced at Milan, May 21, 1892, and was Introduced into this country in the Spring of 1894. with Madame Arnold son and Signotl Ancona, Gromzeski, Guetary. and De Lucia taking the prin cipal parts. There was so much light shed on the stage last night that it was pos sible to see the chorus more clearly than before. The chorus singers crowd the small stage, and sing well together and appear to have been chosen for their good voices rather than youthful appearances. This afternoon the bill is "Lucia di Lammermoor," and tonight "Aida." Babies Eagerly Claimed. NEW ORLEANS, March 10.

MOTHER IS AWARDED CHILD Reservation. In Order May Limit At tendance on Revivals.. To Mrs. Florence Crawford, a leader of the Apostolic Faith In Portland, more commonly known as the "Tongues of Fire," who said she was compelled to gain divine permission to go into a court of justice, was awarded the custody of her daughter Mildred by 'the Juvenile Court Wednesday. Frank Crawford, the father, withdrew his suit for the custody of the girl, following the fil ing of a sensational complaint against him by his wife, who charged that he was not a proper person to care for the child. In awarding .the girl to the care of her mother. Judge -Bronaugh made the" or der subject to revocation -by the court. One of the original excuses for the- ef fort made to take the girl from her mother was that she was ' not sent to the public schools when in her mother's care, but was taught at a school con ducted by the. people with whom the mother is religiously affiliated. This is said to be the reason why the court re served the right to make a change in its order of yesterday. Members of the 'TTongues of Fire" sect have Insisted that Mildred should not be taken frpm them, because through her important divine manifestations are made. That the court will permit the girl to be kept up late at night in at tendance on religious revivals is doubted by those who are familiar with the case. PET DOG FREES PRISONER Cries of Pup in Cell With Master Reach. Jailer's Heart. The affection of Teddy, a pink-eyed bulldog, for Daniel Clark, its master, brought about Clark's release from the City Jail last night. Clark is a printer and with several friends and Teddy started out to cele brate the advent of Spring yesterday. All the saloons in the downtown district were visited by them and Teddy, too. While the convivial party walked from one saloon to another a great big "cop per" arrested Clark and his friends. Clark, and Teddy and all were loaded ahoard the patrol wagon and sent to the station-house. When Clark had been put in a cell Teddy - whined and cried and begged to be locked up, too. He was accommodated. All the long weary af ternoon Clark and Teddy were cellmates of a quartet of North End drunks. Last night Teddy became lonesome and longed for liberty. His cries attracted the attention of Jailor Thompson. The pleadings of the canine reached the jail er's heart. Clark and Teddy were re leased.

Cruz, which was sent to raise the hulk, was not able to approach the .Yucatan on account of ice and has been ordered back to Seattle. The Yucatan's upper works, including the expensive improvements made when the Yucatan was George W. Perkins' private yacht last Summer, have been battered away by the icebergs, which this Winter are as large as the moun tainous ones met with further north.
