WAITERS OF NEWS I OPENS WITH ECLAT 'Commercial Club's Breakfast George L. Baker's New Play I house Scene of Enthusias- tic Housewarming. in Honor of Press Club Brilliant Affair. ADMIRAL EVANS SPEAKS SOCIETY IS OUT IN FORCE 8 r .. . V. "Ftghtlnic Dob" and "Buffalo Hill" Mrt for First Time Prominent Statesmen and Jurists Join Newspaperman at feast. Two picturesque rharactera. both of National fame on account of their pe- rullir fmpfrarnnt, both of rough-and- ready spirit bat dissimilar in their epoch makin career, one choosing a life on the sea and the other on the plains and in the mountain of tha Went, aat at the tiead of the table at the breakfast yes terday noon iclven In compliment to the Portland Press Club by the Portland Commercial Club. One was "Fighting Pob" Evans and the other was "Kuffalo Htlt." The continent might have been combed and two men morn distinguished could rot have been entertained at one time at any social function. Heme Mrrt for Flrt Time. Althmiah each had achieved victories and made history In his respective ratting. the wide difference In their vocations, one a sut on the sea, the other a scout on land, had never broujrht them to gether. When they met for the first time In tha assembly-room of the Commercial Club and were Introduced. "Buffalo Bill" stretched ut his lone rtsht arm and. grasping the hand of "Klchtlng Bob." ex claimed: "Bless your dear old North American heart. I am It I ad to see you." Admiral Kvani smiled at the charac teristic salutation and rung the hand of the ponw express rider of the plains. Both were hiahly pleased and such an attach ment sprang up that "Buffalo Bill" In cited "FlaMIng Bob" to Join him In trip through "Yellowstone I'ark when hs finishes his show season, and the Ad miral accepted. It was plain that th two liked each other's company, and the newspaper men left them to themselves to become cronies. Hour Happily Set. Not that the newspaper men were hun jrry. but the breakfast drew the largest number of men who chronicle the daily events of life together that was ever as sembled in Portland. The unusual hour of th breakfast Sunday noon la what might be called a psychological moment for newspaper men to get together, for It Is tha only time during the week when some of thera are not busy. For that reason th spread was served at what might appear an odd time, in order that tha lanrest number might attend. Eighty six were seated at tha table. After break- fast the guesta of the club were enter tained In the rooms of the Press Club in the Merchants' Trust building. The breakfast was necessarily an un conventional affair because of Its charac ter, and Admiral Evans and Colonel Cody, aa well as other guests of the club, were made to feel at home and enjoyed the unrestraint of the occasion. Speeches were short and bubbled with guod will and humor. Tribu: Paid to Admiral Evans. Tha toasrmaster. 9. B. Vincent, presi dent of the Press Club. In Introducing Ad- miraj Evans, said there. were five names which stood out pre-eminently In naval history Jones. Faixasrut. Perry. Dewey wnd Evans. Aa Admiral Evans arose, the entire club stood up and sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." and "Buffalo Bill' beat time with both bands. "Our warships a.e among the finest built.' said Admiral Evans, "and you could stack them up In the face of an enemy, press the button and the result would be all right. Hut what I wish to speak of ts the total lack of defense of the Pacific Coast. The people of the Pa cific Coast are living in peace and com fort because of the friendly disposition of their neighbors. If your neighbors should turn upon you. you would be like a Jelly fish In their hands, and poor Jelly fish at that- Tou need 16 battleships on the Pa cific Coast, with all their trimmings. which meana cruisers and ammunition ships, torpedo-boats, colliers and men to man them. Tou have the men. but what ts needed is trained men men who do not get seasick. If a man has a good stomach, be can fight: If he is sick lie Is not good for anything. The Pacific Coast needs a floating defense." Continuing; Admiral Evans said: "Everything Is peaceful now but there Is always the danger of I won't say tae 'yellow peril" but. to be Impartial, the green peril. Protect your Coast. Just as the Atlantic Coast la protect ed. " Buffalo Itill Tells Stories. Colonel Cody was also greeted with "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." He told several Interesting and amusing stories of pioneer life, from the time he was a youthful pony rider, carrying messages before the day of the telegraph, his later adventures with the Indians, up to the time of r.is retirement aa a scout. While speaking he paid tribute to the war cor respondent, saying "lie was always on the firing line and stayed till Die Inst, or as long aa there was any chunce to get news." In speaking of the West he said: "I look for the day when the West will be the "big end' of the I'nlted States. But one thing I must say. don't discour age capital, (let every' man. who has money out West. Get him to invest It. lon't discredit a man because he has a million dollars, but give him a chance in the West." Programme I Curtailed. Other speakers were H.

TO PROVIDE W AY FOR MEMBERS TO GET START. Small Tracts to Re Sold at Reasonable Price Civic Morals Bad, Says Secretary Stone. Ten and 15-e.cre homes for young men are to be provmen oy tne r-oruana Young Men's Christian Association. Gen ersl Secretary Stone, in a talk before the annual conference of the officers on the local association, yesterday After noon and evening, raid plans have been made (or the purchase by the associa tion nt from Mo to 1000 acres of land within 10 miles of Portland. The meeting was held on the fourth floor of the as sociation building. This will be placed In charge of a secretary who knows something about he raising of livestock and farm pro ducts." said Mr. Stone, "and sold at a reasonable price to young men of the Young Men's Christian Association. This will help them to start a home. That's what the Y. M. C. A. Is for, to get young men to get married, and tied up to a h'irch. and a home started. Secretary Stone said that two gradu ates of tha Oregon Agricultural College were ready to Instruct tha young men who bought tracts from the Toung Men's Christian Association how to raise farm produce. He said the whole thing would r v V be a straight business proposition. "It is time Christian men were taking their religion with them Into their business," he continued. "So-called Christians can be sympathetic in talking of art and education, but are perfect tigers in their business. It la time to cull a halt." Turning to the moral condition of the city, the speaker said that It was time something was done.- "I could show you some pictures that would make your blood tingle. The Y. M. C. A. la pledged :ot to enter Into politics, but I want to say to you that the moral condition of the city was never worse than It is right now: They are a hundred times worse than they were two years ago at this time. I don't like to talk politics. but it Is time somebody talked some thing, for street-walking Is rampant. "Another thing, this association should have the co-operation of the churches of the city. We are not getting It through the pastors, so we shall have to appeal to the laymen." Secretary Stone said the membership of the Portland association Is now 30i, but that with 56.000 men and boys in the city It Is occupying only 5.S per ce,nt of the field. In the educational department the local association has 1004 students, and is occupying l. per cent of the field. while Seattle la occupying 1.7 of the field, and Spokane 1.8 per cent. Conferences of the educational, religi ous, physical, and boys departments, and of those Interested in the Sellwood association, were held during the after noon. In the evening luncheon was taken In the cafeteria, and speeches made by department secretaries. R. C. French, educational secretary, A. M. Grilley. physical director; J. C. Clark, secretary of the hoys' department. and R. R. Perkins, of the religious work department, were the speakers of last night's Institute. SUICIDE ATTEMPT FAILS WOMAN TRIKS TO TAKE FOR SKCOXD TIME.

Lowe, divorced wife of a former conductor on the' As toria & Columbia. River railroad, was saved from death yesterday by the time ly arrival at her home of police offi cers, called to the house at 494 East Ap keny street by alarmed neighbors; Mrs. Lowe, who is about 40 years of age, has suffered ill health for a long time nd recently underwent a serious operation. She was divorced about four months ago and It Is alleged that her husband has annoyed her since. All this contributed made her despondent and resulted in the two attempts against her Ufe. Mrs. Emma Smith, of -Laurelwood, called at the house yesterday afternoon and found It shut up tightly. She de tected the odor of gas and called neigh bors. The police station was notified and Patrolmen Flack, Montgomery and Schafer hurried to the place in an auto mobile. They entered through a win dow and forced their way Into the wom an's room, which was tightly closed. A qult was; hung over the door and the gas Jet waa turned on full. The officers threw the house open and carried Mrs. Lowe to a wjpll-ventilated room, and artificial respiration was started. After an hour's work she was revived, and at once protested against being restored to life. When Dr. Zieg ler arrived he directed that she be sent to St. Vincent's hospital, against her protest. She will probably recover. It Is alleged that Lowe, who recently left the service of the railroad com pany, has moved to Washington to avoid payment of alimony ad that he has sent emissaries to harass Mrs. Lowe frequently. One man, said to be sent by Lowe, went to her home a short time ago and was driven away by a blow on the head from a stick of stove wood. Mrs. Lowe ts entirely without means. 8he has a son, a well-to-do farmer, at Petersburg. Ind. ROAD OPENS NEW COUNTRY Auto Route From Allegany to Scots burg Aid to Coos Bay. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Sept. 18.

Baker's hand some new Baker Theater last evening and tne premier performance of his ex cellent organization of players. Easily tne event goes into record as most sue cessiui ana everyone concerned was plastered with glory before the evening was over. For blocks surrounding the corner of Eleventh and Morrison where the new playhouse Is located, rows of motor cars, carriages, and electric runabouts were packed thickly, while chauffeurs in livery and without, footmen and cabmen made up a small sized crowd in themselves. . Through the entrance surged a constantly moving stream of people, smlllnKly oblivious to the dis- COmfOrtS Of heiniT- ahovori n , .1 ...... V. awaiting- his turn In comoiant humor. Trulv Ihit rrnvd . n..t,. able for its good humor. Foyer Is Beautiful. In the spacious foyer the actual real ization of the real beauty and magni tude of Mr. Baker's achievement became most apparent. This part of the the-! ater is very wide, extending across the entire floor space back of the rear row ofwseafs. Mirrors on all sides, huge pillars beautifully carved, and the vast ness of elbow room in the foyer make It most attractive. Last evening, be fore ttie first curtain, 'tjits part of the theater was thronged with many beau tifully gowned women, whose flashing Jesfels and smart appearance lent a de cided metropolitan atmosphere to the occasion. No grand opera season has ever brought out a greater array of feminine beauty, culture and elegance in dress. Attendance - Is Representative. In honor of the opening of the first modern theater to be built in Portland In' more than a decade, all of the old patrons, hundreds of new ones, together with city, county and state officals were on hand. Representative men and women from almost every walk in life were in the audience, and the 1650 seats, including the ones furthest back in the vast balcony, as well as the front row of the parquet, were filled. The general comfort of the patrons seemed to be the keynote of Mr. Baker's enterprise. The seats are wide and roomy, the aisles are generously wide, the foyer alone can accommodate sev eral hundred people standing, and only four posts are to be found in the entire house. These, be It said, are in the rear of the building an are necessary for the support of the balcony. The lower floor has fourteen boxes, ar ranged with a view towards preserving the general beauty of the architectural scheme. The lower boxes are, a series of deep, railed-ln squares of solid com fort, each raised a little higher than the one Immediately In front of It. No heavy drapery or stiff arches mar the handsome lines, and each box looks as if it bung, like some lovely window box. Just out of reach on the wall, where It can command a most excel lent view of the stage. There are four loges, wide roomy ones, and so many divans one loses count. The balcony Is wide and far-reaching and deep, pitched at an incline so gradual that the mounting of the steps is almost im- vnim unorT onnn UUK UfOL ..OUUK.UflOOI OIUH . IS RELIEVED IN Take a little Diapepsin now and your Stomach will feel fine in five minutes Every family here ought to keep some Diapepsin In the house, as any one of you may have an attack of In digestion or Stomach tronble at any time, day or night. This harmless preparation will di gest anything you eat and overcome a distressed, out-of-order stomach five minutes afterwards. If your meals don't tempt you, or what little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead in your stomach, or If you have heartburn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Ask your Pharmacist for a 61-ceht case of Pape's Diapepsin, and take a uav B u '.1 fflade perceptible. Interesting too. Is the fact that the topmost row gives a good view of the stage and the house. The walls last evening, were yet damp in spots and the few posts were wrapped in the American flag, a carpet had been laid over the floor in thejfoyer, and not all of the electric lights were in place, but everything of this nature was forgotten In the general comaderie and kindly cheer that prevailed. Strong Play Presented. To introduce his new organization of players Mr. -Baker had by special ar rangement with David Belasco. secured "Sweet Kitty Bellalrs." a comedy of the heart In four acts founded on Egerton Castle's book, "The Bath Comedy." In every essential the production was a gorgeous one, almost spectacular In its sumptuous costuming and handsome scenic equipment. Of the Gainsborough period, during the French-Republican War, the brilliant color notes afforded by the red coats of the men and the picturesque apparel of the women, with all the environment of unusual import ance in maintaining the effect and pre serving tile period, the distance, melted into shadows without, destroying the continuity and the beholders experi enced no strain in transporting them selves back to Bath, England, in the late seventies. Portlanders who attended the pro duction are unanimous In their unre served praise of Alice Fleming's work in the title role. She is a delightful artiste and suggests resources not even touched upon In the gay, light-hearted role of "Kitty, the mischevlous girl who captures the hearts of all "boys" in the 51st Regiment as well as the lads of the Innlskllllngs. She is the innocent cause of sundry almost-duels, much gossip, an embryo scandal, and much clean, keen comedy. The syn opsis of the story or any review of the play would be almost as useless as attempting to remember its cream puff dialogue. It's Just one of those safe, comfortable comedies all chatter and light comedy, depending on the actor folk rather than on the lines for the laughs, and so a resume of the tale would be like unto stale beer. TTie act ing was on a high level of general competence, and a cordial welcome was given each performer. F. Thomas McLarnie, the new leading man is brilliant worker. Ingratiating himself at once with his audience by means of his entirely consistent and convincing delineation of the rale of Lord Verney, a lieutenant. ' Mr. McLanrie's work is stamped with a fine spirit, a genuineness, and force that makes him easily, even after only one performance, the su perior of any" of his predecessors as leading man in Baker stock. John Burton, character man, scored a distinct success by reason or nis maudlin Colonel, and Thomas J.- Car rlgan, one of the new members, leaped Into favoritism with his good looks and dashing and spirited portrait of Sir Joseph Standish. In the role of Lady Standish. a walking watering pot, a veritable fountain or weeps, Marget Duffet established her versa- tl'lty. and won recognition for her clever character work. John W. Spencer, in the unllkabli role of the villain or as near a vil lain as such a nice little comedy can afford was competent, and Donald Bowles received and ovation when he aDDeared in the quaintly humorous character of an Irish Captain. Mighty good to gaze upon and listen to is Grace Hadsell, second woman, who villainessed a bit last evening in spite of her dimples. Lillian Andrews, the gifted character woman of the com pany, was seen as the very dear oia Lady Maria. At the end gf the second act Insist ent and repeated calls for Manager George L. Baker brought him at last before the curtain. Immediately a pro ceslon of ushers started down the aisles, each carrying huge floral pieces, 16 in number, which they banked on the stage. Mr. Baker's talk was brief but covered convincingly the .subject of his happiness and thankfulness In being able to give the new playhouse to Portland. He reviewed the work on the building since it was begun. Just four months and one week ago, and told briefly of a few of his plans for the new season. Oil Tank Steamer Roma Safe. LOS ANGELES, Sept.

The two Chinese vessels engaged In running guns were captured off Corea at the end of August, one belns: brought Into Chemulpo laden with field guns, mus kets and ammunition intended for in surgents. There Is much dissatisfaction in Japan over the maintenance . of the status quo In the customs tariff of Corea for 10 years. The Selyukal, Japan's leading political party will at tack the government on this ground at the next session of the Diet. The Hachi says the retention of the customs arrangements was taken reluctantly by Japan on account of pressure by Kngland and America and especially the latter.
