An audience whlrh assembled the dis
tinguished people In every walk of life
In Portland, marked the opening per
formance of the beautiful new Helllg
TheAter last evening.
The dedication of the playhouj
one of the most completely appointed In
the united States was as unostenta
tlous and direct as the manner In which
It was built. There were no poems of
dedication, no lengthy speeches, but
Instead a few simple words of appre
i latlon from Calrln Helllg and John
M. Uearln. president and secretary re
spectively, of the theater company.
Then, as the Initial offering;, there ap
peared tipon Its stage Viola Allen and
her supporting; company, players who
stand supreme In their profession and
whose artistic accomplishments make
their appearance a sufficient dedica
tion for any new playhouse.
Thus, by the simple giving of pos
session to its first audience, has the
HeiUg begun to make theatrical his
tory In Portland.
Throng Gathers Early.
For an hour prior to the time set for
the curtain, patrons had bea-un to ar
rive. On every side gleamed carriage
and motor lights, the soft purring of
the cars as they ranged In rows that
stretched for blocks about the' vicinity
of the theater, giving a delightful
metropolitan air to the event. A crowd
numbering many hundreds had congre
gated about the entrances, and blue
f rocked policemen were kept busy keep
Ing the walks and streets clear. From
the approaches on Seventh and Tay
lor the dignified and Imposing structure
was further enhanced by the great
electric sign Helllg." that swung Its
length above the heads of Jhe surging
crowd.
In the huge foyer an air of festivity
reigned supreme. Everywhere was the
tinkle of laughter, the flash of jewels,
the sheen of women's twns. silhou
etted against the convitional dress
of masculinity, the gentle calls of the
programme boy. the directions to ush
ers, the distant deliclousness of Rose
brook's orchestra. the undisguised
ejaculations of delight and apprecia
tion. For elegance and distinction,
the audience would have passed for a
Bromlway assembly.
Kach of the Z2 boxes held from four to
ix occupants, the hand.-wme amber vel
vet hanalntrs providing excellent foil for
the beautiful gowns, picturesque evening
hata and elaborate coiffure cf the wo
men. Du.-'m the In remissions, made
particularly attractive by the entranc-
fnr music, a ellghtful air of Informality
was munifeMed by box occupant by the
InterchanKfr. J of little visits.
Just before the tlmo announced for
Miss Allen.' .t :irst act by a few minutes,
an American li-r, was run u; across the
rurtaln, and the audience rose as one
person while the orchestra gave the
Stur-Spancled Banner." A deraonstra'
tton followttl and In the mlttat of It John
M. Gearln w.-ilked unostentatiously onto
the stage.
In a few well-chosen words he gave
a quiet lactation ofthe enterprise.
Old Marquam Itrcalled.
-Tt's a far rry from the old Marquam
H over iu years ttzo to this magnificent
-news-Hter just given us." said Mr.
t;ean:.. In part. "It marks the passing
jf the old. and the advent of the new.
To many of -us pleasant memories
rjuster about the old days, but we wel
come the new order of thinus. and
this tangible evidence of It. It Is uiy
pleasant task to bid you welcome. It
Is your desires that brought about the
Helllg theater. J-our money that made It
a posslhlHty and your patronage that
will Insure Its success.-
.,, After Mr. Oeartn had finished cries
U4m0 from all parts of the house for
- Meilig. Ileitis." re-ecnolng above the
insistent applause. In response Calvin
.Heiltg made bis appearance. lie
- greeted t-v a storm of applause, to
-which he responded by a brief talk.
- "Welle we are throwing bouquets," he
said. "1 want to thank Messrs. Corbett,
- Aim worth and Ayer, the three mem
bers of the bond committee. The for
mer set the ball to rolling, the second
-beld tlie money, and the third, by rea
. son ef Ms artistic taste, has given ns
the most magnificent theater In the
lolled States."
Rounds of applause followed Mr.
- -Heillg's last word and Immediately a
centvr rush down the aisles was made
by the ushers, each of the dosen carry
ing huge floral pieces of Unusual
beauty. Then followed the play.
The White Sister" is a purely dra
matic attraction of the very highest or
der, and Its strength and powerful sit
uations held the big audience spell
bound. At tbe end of the great third
act. which Is practically a tumultuous
duo between the two leading charac
ters, the curtain came down to a burst
of applause that reverberated through
the big auditorium like a thunder-clap,
ttrn after the star and her co-artlsts
had responded again and again to cur
tain calls, the audience continued Its
applause and was apparently not near
ly tbrough when the house' lights cut
short the demonstration.
. . The compliment was thoroughly mer
ited by the really great acting of Miss
Alien, and brr company. The story of
"The White Sister" Is well known and.
in point of truth. It is a simple tale.
The great situation of the play, the
conflict between earthly claims and
those of tbe church. Is presented at the
outset and treated with a directness
and strength of dramatic feeling that
give It a sweep of power. So far aa
the principle of Catholicism are con
cerned the play la based entirely upon
.fact. Mis Allen's characterisation of
the nun la oartaUaUy beyond reproach.
Always capable, always charming, she
is splendidly suited In the role of Sis
ter Glovanna. Of Itself the character
Is a somber one throughout, but even
so there Is Infinite variety to it, and
Miss Allen's genuine dramatic genius
and truthful art make it one of the
strongest as well as the most exquisite
ly appealing etchingsxsn her gallery of
stage portraits
Jn Henry Stanford she has a leading
man who blends in satisfying propor
tions the exact elements for the realiza
tion of. the soldier and the lover. In
the strongest scenes he came near di
viding honors with the star and was In
several instances accorded a demon
stration all ta. himself.
James O'Neill, that splendid old vet
eran of Monte Crlsto days, gave us
the church man. Saraclnesca. with all
his accustomed finesse and sureness of
touch. A thoroughly tine interpreta
tion of the role of the worldly Countess
Chlaraxnonte was given by Minna Gale,
whose return to the stage is a matter
of congratulation to all concerned.
Self-evident is the paramount fact that
she still retains all her accustomed
ability as well as the charm and grace
and the beautiful voice that made her
a favorite always In her Shakespearean
days. Kdwln Brandt as Lieutenant
Basill gave a genuinely good bit of
acting with a touch of comedy and
character -to It. And Fanny Addison
Pitt, long to be remembered for the
work of other days, plays naturally
and deliciously a character role of
Angela's old nurse, Madame Bernard.
"1 have brought you some sweets.
she says, hurriedly thrusting the pack
age of bon bons into the nun's hands.
and glancing furtively to see If tbey
are observed.
"But sweets are allowed," smiles Sis
ter Uiovanna.
"Ah. then," slKhs Madame, "you won
enjoy them. It's the things forbidden
us by the doctors and priests that
want most to do.'
The artion of the play is supposed
to take pia-.-e near the Porta Portrese,
Rome. The four acts revealed are set
first In the reception-hall of a conven
hospital, the cloistered garden at the
convent, and finally the rooms of Cap
tain Severl's apartments. Through it
and over it all hangs the Incense of
the altar. Every heart In the big audi
ence beats in sympathy with the knell
of the chimes from the convent bell,
ar.u the sweet, wailing chants of the
wn:te sisters. .
I" he piece is handsomely staged and.
while the religious theme predomi
nates, there is nothing to offend the
most particular churchgoer. No sect
nor creed could find objection to any
part of the performance, as the delicate
subject of religion In general, and
Catholicism In particular. Is treated In
a dignified and Impressive manner, with
deftness and dramatic Intensity. As
an entertainment, pure and slmnle.
"The White Sister" Is deservedly high
In the list of the greatest offerinfs of
the American stage.

Opposition to the proposed 25-vear fran
enlse for the collection and dlsnosltlon
of garbage, sought by the Portland Sans-
tary Company from ttie City Council,
received tile unanimous vote of the Civic
Council at Its regular session last nleht.
Charges of bad faith and trickery were
frequently made by several of the sneak
erei and It was only after the most heated
arguments as to the best method of ex
pressing the body's disapproval of the
measure tnat the vote was taken.
Attorney a B. Huston appeared for
me company and presented figures tend
ing to show that the profits which the
grantees would make from the enterprise
would not be great. He said that he
himself could not see where tbey would
make any money at all, but as he was
only an attorney employed to represent
tnem. that was none of his affair.
Jobolnian Figures Profits.
hlle the attorney was quoting his
figures,F. W. Jobelman, representing the
Mount Scott Improvement clubs, was
bupy with some lightning calculations by
means of which ho endeavored to prove
that the profits of the company, using
-r. iiusi one own figures, would be en
ormous, even If the c'tv did. not stow.
and that calculating the gronth of the
city at a conservative rate they would
increase "out of all proportion."
T. B. MoDevltt, representing, as he
faid. the deur people without pay.1
after reading the proposed franchise.
stated that an effort would be made to
Tush It through" the City Council to
morrow. He urged Immediate action. Mr.
Huston gave his word, that no effort
would be made to secure action before
the Council, but even this did not satisfy
.Mr. Mcoevltt who said he scented
echeme to delay action, thereby leaving
me city council free to act.
Assistant City Attorney Latourette
stated that It was a legal Impossibility
for the Council to pass the franchise to
morrow, but Dr. Hamilton Meade, ex
claimed that while the legal department
or tne city could only advise on .the law.
It could not foretell the action of the
Councilmen.
Dr. Meade Sees Trick.
After Mr. Huston had explained that
the proposed ordinance had not been pub
lished as Is legally required. Dr. Meade
declared that even this statement might
be a trick.
'How do we know that It has not been
published In some obscure paper and that
an effort will be made to nave the
Council adopt It at the meeting tomor
row?- he exclaimed.
The granting of franchises has begun
to be looked upon as a criminal proceed
lng,' said George T. Atchley in opposi
ng the measure.
Frank M3tter suggested, after It was
made plain to him that action could not
be taken by the City Council at Its next
ion. that the matter be tabled for
a week, so that "this body will not take
action that will make it appear ridi
culous."
Mr. Atchley opposed any proceeding
that would "tie the hands? of the or
ganization and insisted that a vote be
taken.
Sentiment la Expressed.
After prolonged discussion that kept
he body In session until nearly 11:S0
o'clock Vice-President Allen R. Joy, who
presided, afked for a vote on the motion
to table. It was lost.
Following loud demands for a vote
on the original motion of opposition, a
vociferous outburst of "ayes" told the
sentiment of the meeting.
A committee consisting of Dr. Hamilton
Meade. E. J. Campbell. F. W. Jobel
man, George T. Atchley and m. J. Morse,"
was named by the chair to Investigate
he proposed franchtee and report to
he next meeting.
The Chic Council also took action
favoring the proposed change in the
manner of collecting payment for water
main extensions and looking into a reduc
tion in the strtet paving Improvements.
A system whereby the contractors will
he paid progressively for their work will
be recommended. The Fulton meeting
to encourage tbe Broadway boulevard
and the Broadway bridge was commended.
at the same price charged In New York,
if possible, but in no case, to exceed a
small percentage in increase on account
of transportation, say 25 or 50 cents more
than New York prices.
"The only Interest we have in this
fight Is to get good shows at reasonable
prices, and to make it plain that we re
serve the right o dictate our own policy
of criticism."
Concerning the graft investigation of
the Seattle police force and the recall
petition to 'dethrone Mayor GUI, he said:
"The so-called graft investigation has
fallen flat already. When Chief of Police
Wappensteln demanded public hearings.
that killed the whole thing. Tbe charges
against Wappensteln originated and were
made by two men who sought control
of the underworld in Seattle and were
denied the privilege they asked. By
some hook or crook they managed to get
the church people in with them and
started the agitation. As for Mayor Gill,
he was elected pn a platform and definite
policy. His policy', clearly outlined and
announced In all the Seattle papers, was
to regulate the restricted district Instead
of attempting to abolish it. It was the
chief issue in the campaign and he was
elected by a large majority on his an
nounced policy. He has carried that out
and will continue to do so until tbe end
of his administration. If the league,
which Is backed by these two men who
sought to control the underworld, suc
ceeds In getting enough signatures to
the recall petition to call an election, the
recall will be defeated by five to one."

last evening had been repaired over
night, but owing to a dense fog whicb
delayed even the trains, Ely was un
able to leave the ground until 8:23
o'clock, when the mist had cleared
away. He arose about To feet, but
had gone only a short distance when
he noticed that his engine was again
missing the spark
The ground looked good for a land
Ing, but he discovered when he. brought
his biplane to earth that the long:
weeds inwhich he bad alighted con
cealed a ditch. The flimsy covering
gave way and the machine settled in
the 'mud and water.
Ely resumed his flight from Beverly
Hills at 4:07 P. M.. and was out of
sight at 4:14, traveling 50 miles an
hour. He planned to stop at La Porte,
Ind., and then fly to South Bend, where
he expects to stay through the night.
He hopes to reach New York by Thurs

Prevewta Haay People Frosa Tryias a
Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and
In most cases eo obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radi
cal, permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness In never be
ing; humbugged, especially in medi
cines. This feaV of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak di
gestion rather than risk a little time
and money In faithfully testing; the
claims made of a preparation so reli
able and universally used aa Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one Important re
spect from ordinary proprietary meal
eines for the reason that they are not
a eecret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, out analy
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids. Golden Seal,
bismuth, Hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure
Indigestion on the common sense plan
of digesting food eaten thoroughly De
fore It haa time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomacn trou
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That Is all
there Is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.

Cort's Monopoly of Seattle Theaters
Said to Have Been Responsi
ble for Competition.
C. B. Blethen. managing editor of the
Seattle Daily Times, who started the war
on John Cort and says that he is per
sonally responsible for bringing Klaw &
Erlanger into the Northwest theatrical
field, was In the city yesterday on busi
ness. At the Oregon Hotel last night he
told how the right started.
"Cort obtained a monopoly of the the
aters in Seattle," said Mr. Blethen. "and
then attempted to dictate the policy of
the Times and Its criticisms of his shows.
He made a number of charges against
members of our staff, all of whicb were
disproved. Then he demanded the resig
nation of our dramatic critic. As a cli
max, force was used to eject him from
our building. Since that time we have
not allowed the advertisements of Cort
shows nor any of bis advance notices
to appear in the paper nor hare we
criticised any of his shows. Klaw tc
Erlanger had given up the idea of a
Northwest circuit and I made a trip to
New York and personally solicited this
great producing firm to come to the
Northwest. However, It was with the
understanding that my personal solicita
tions would in no way interfere with our
policy or criticism of their shows.
"Whatever the result of this war may
be. the Northwest will have the pleas
ure of seeing the best shows produced by
Cort's eo-called independent organiza
tion and those of the trust. Competition
insures the best productions from each
side and at reasonable prices. Before,
we were only getting the poorest shows
at high prices. Klaw A Erlanger as
sured me that they would not charge 12
for a $1 show, that they would find a
method of giving the Northwest show ,
The Kenilworth Presbyterian Church
was turned into a chemistry laboratory
last evening when representatives of
terra cotta and glazed cement sewer pipe
conducted testa before the Kenilwort
Improvement Association.
Time was called by President Merchant
upon the speakers before definite action
had been taken by the association, owing
to the luteness of the hour. As the
case stands tbe property owners In the
proposed Holgate-street sewer district
have asked for the use of the' cement
sewer pipe, and proceedings, calling for
the use of that material are under way.
Cement pipe withstood a water pres
sure test of 100 pounds to the inch, the
exterior of the pipe remaining dry. Terra
cotta pipe leaked when four pounds' pres
sure was applied, and broke under 15
pounds strain. This test was made by
tiie cement pipe representativeev with
the advocates of terra cotta looking on,
President Merchant was frequently
forced to call the debaters to order, as
considerable feeling was manifested. Dr.
L. Victoria Hampton gave several test
tube demonstrations showing the effect
of various acides upon cement- Her
statement that city sewage averages 5
per cent of acids was contradicted by
George Scoggln. Dr. Hampton replied
to several questions by saying that "any'
one who laid cement sewers should be
put in the Penitentiary.
B. O. Heinrlchs. former City Chemist of
Tacoma, appearing for the cement pipe
mafcere asked Dr. Hampton to test a
eample of city sewage taken yesterday
from the mouth of the Madison-street
sewer. She said that the acids In
sewage exert but a gradual effect upon
cement.

feed during the open season. Hunters
in the vicinity of Trout Lake have
warned all hunting parties with dogs
to keep away from that locality.
