February 16 next The work Is to be done according to Inns made by Army engineers and to be under the direction of an engineer officer. President Taft believes that the para mount question Is the determining for nil time the cause of the explosion. He has Invited Spain to send a representa tive to be present during the work of exposing and removing the wreck. Old Hulk Di.ioal In Donbt. The disposition 6t the old hulk re aiatns to be settled. Army engineers believe tliat It will he possible to float the after two-thirds of the vessel. The forward third, where the explosion wrought the greatest havoc, is believed to be too far gone to be taken out aa a whole, and the wreckage will be removed piecemeal. If Congress approves the recom mendation of the engineers the wreck will be taken out to sea and given a ceremonial burial in deep water. No portion of the wreck Is to be dis turbed until a full opportunity haa been given to view and study it. To this end the first work will be the construction of a cofferdam of In terlocking steel pilings, large enough to give a clearance of 50 feet on all sides of the wreck. The pumping out of the water, when T IS difficult to understand just exactly why a talent Ilka Margaret Illington's should be so heavily burdened with an impossible play like Henri Bernstein's "The Whirlwind." It is quite enough to disturb the equa nimity or the most placid folk, not to mention those whose artistic and tem peramental inclinations make them a bit uimcnlt to please. It has been a long time, truly, since ao totally hopeless nd dreary a nlay has been ventured here. Stars and would-be stars usually Prefer personally a play which, from dramatic tenets, is an inferior work. out contains a role that permits a virtuoso exhibition of their most force ful histrionics. "The Whirlwind" lacks even this redeeming feature. j no character .Miss Illlngton as sumes is so uninteresting, so obvious ana artificial that even her effective art could not imbue it with a semblance of lire or a whit of sympathy. The play Is what the French would call a drama of situations, and it bears as much relation to actual dramatic progression, as have the novels of Keriha Si. Clay to those of Thomas Hardy. It Is a lymphatic, lugubrious and languid melodrama, portrayed in the clash of emotions rather than in the eternal wall for the o-a-D-e-r-a. a combination of the methods of Henrv j a roes ana Theodore Kramer. The author starts with that first principle of French dramas: a loveless marriage. The Countess Brechebel has oeen forced by ner ambitious narenta to wea a man for whom she does not care, with the Inevitable result that aha finds after her marriage the man whom she aoes love. He is a gambler, and their Three years of Intimacy have proved ' o. wnat tne trench might term highly prosperous affair. Her reputa tion (spare the mark) Is absolutely unsullied when, in a moment of mad play, her lover loses COO.Ooe franca th.t ooes not belong to him. He tells his misiress that he must flee the coun try. ana sne. loving little thlnar that sne is. ines to borrow the money in oraer to Keep him at home In the inmny. sue tries first one source, then another, only to be met with in sulting contra-proposltions. "e nistnomc pyrotechnics are i. Driven to the wall to .awe th. spineicsa ming she calls her lover, the woman leiis ner own rather that she must have the money, and when hit hr bit, he breaks through her concealment, she admits her guilt. Father la natural- y a bit put out. but refuses the monev. So nothing Is left for the agitated lady to do but reconsider haatllv one of h. aforementioned insulting contra-nrotoi. i tlons. Then with the soo.oos francs ciutcnea tight In her little hand, off she posts for the lover's rooms. In the mean time father has called on the lover and In a cheerful little chat they have de cided that the latter must kill himself, "put a bullet in his brain," as he poeti cally puts it. And all this simply because his mistress' fair name is threatened. So. when the blithe Countess arrives on the scene the lover is occupied in shoot ing himseir. Truly It Is a melodramatic psycholocue or a psychological melodra ma. Just as one prefers. In spite of the mediocrity of her ve hicle It was again Interesting to study the art of Mis lljington. Not a hand some woman, the predominating charac teristic of her face is Intelligence and ev.-ry action shows vivacity and emo tional power. The supporting company seemed to be obsessrd with the hopelessness of the play, and while they fought valiantly to overcome the handicap still it was woefully apparent. The piece Is hand somely staged with artistic faithfulness In details. Just why Miss Illlngton should risk the popularity she lias obtained through her interesting performance of the better type of modern plays, she has hereto fore ventured, must remain a mystery. P. 8.

Spanning River at Meade and Ellsworth. At the regular meeting of the South Portland Boosters' Club, held In St. Law rence's Hall last night, the organisation took stock of the work it has done during the past year, and decided on the whole it had reason to be proud of itself. The old officers were re-elected, as follows: President. C. H. Feldman; vice-president. J. C. Smith; secretary, B. C Jones; treasurer, Frank L Weber. Thomas Guinean spoke regarding the proposed South Portland bridge from Ellsworth, on the East Side, to Meade street, on the West Side, and the club subscribed JT5 to add to the $140, more or less, that is now in a fund to be used for advertising thie bridge. The ques tion will go on the ballot next June. General Manager O'Brien, of the Har rlman lines In Oregon, had written a letter to the club offering to give the necessary right of way for this bridge over the railroad's property and It was announced that the people residing along Euojvorth avenue on the East Side would secure the vacation of such streets as should be necessary. Division street has been favored by some as the logical ap proach on the east, but It was concluded that a repetition of the delay to the Broadway bridge would be avoided by not engaging in any controversy with the Inman-Poulsen mill Interests, lo cated at the foot of this street. M. J. Clohessy presented the boulevard question, making clear that as soon as the vacation of the East Side streets needed by the O. R. X. Co. for its proposed freight depot is granted by the City Council the boulevard will become an actuality, for it Is one of the conces sions offered by the railroad in part re turn for the vacatiuna. Headed by a detail of mounted po lice, members or Portland Lodge 291, Loyal Order of Moose, and their wlvea and daughters to the number of 4000 last night traversed the principal streets of the city od horseback, in automobiles and on foot. The parade was a great fea ture and Included several bunds and many beautifully decorated floats. The line was divided Into several de tachments, each headed by a squad of horsemen and a band. The members of the order wore white straw hats of uniform character and carried short walking sticks. They presented a neat and "natty" appearance as, wearing full regalia, they walked along fonr abreast, automobiles intervening at regular In tervals. E. M. Lance was grand mar shal and A. Shapiro his principal assist ant. A start was made from the Armory, Tenth and Couch streets, and among the other thoroughfares crossed or traversed before the line was broken at the same place were: Morrison. Seventh. YarahlU, Sixth, Washington. First, Third. Burn- side and Eleventh. Many visitors were present from points in Oregon outside the city and from cities and towns in the State of Washington and were given places of honor in the first dlvsion. The railroad companies allowed a return rate of one and a third the one-way fare. Following the parade a monster meet ing was held at the Armory. Among the speakers of the evening were: James J. Davis, of Pittsburg, supreme organizer of the order, who is in the city as the guest of the Portland lodge: Hon. Wil liam R. King, Judge of the Supreme Court of Oregon; William N. Gatens and Robert G. Morrow, Multnomah County Circuit Court Judges, and Boy B. Hopkins, state organiser for .Oregon. The automobiles in the parade were gaily decorated with flags and bunting. The Illuminated floats In the line carried bevies of young girls, the idea being to represent the watchwords of the order: "Purity, Aid and Progress." "Howdy Pap." the slogan of the order, was heard In almost a continual roar, participated in by the spectators as well as the marchers. The women were accommo dated in automobiles, and all waved flags, bits of bunting or handkerchiefs. LARGE AUDIENCE IX MASOXIC TEMPLE .DISAPPOINTED. Through Unexplained Misunder standing, Noted Lawyer Does Not Arrive for Home-Rule Speech. An audience that packed the Masonic Temple to the dcors was disappointed last night when Clarence S. Darrow, the noted labor attorney of Chicago, did not appear to deliver his address on "The Liberties of Man and the Fallacies and Wrongs of Prohibition." Through an unexplained misunderstanding, the speaker did not reach the city and the audience was dismissed at 9 o'clock, as all trains that might have brought the belated speaker were in and no more were scheduled till a late hour. The Greater Oregon Home Rule As sociation had gone to heavy expense In billing and advertising Darrow, who is to deliver nine speeches In Oregon un der the auspices of the association. When the speaker did not arrive late in the afternoon, H. C. McAllister began telegraphing to Chicago and all parts of the country, trying to locate him. A reception committee went to the sta tion to meet him last night, McAllis ter remained in his office, ready to grasp the telephone receiver and re ceive telegrams, while crowds packed the Masonic Temple - auditorium and hundreds turned away, unable to gain entrance. As the clock ticked the time away and the audience became impa tient, Fred W. Jobelman, chairman of the meeting, took the platform. In an nouncing the purpose of the meeting and mentioning the section of the pro hibition bill which gives the right of officers to search a private residence any time, day or night, he shouted: "Are you going to stand for such a law as that?" There was a loud response of "No." But Jobelman was not satisfied and repeated the question. This time the audience fairly roared 'Ho." ; Judge F. C. Highsmith, ex-Mayor of Mineral Wells, Tex., and president of the State Mayors' Association of Texas, was then Introduced. Judge Highsmith was not prepared to make an Oregon speech, but -he gave a short, interesting talk on temperance as against prohi bition to an attentive audience and his pointed remarks were received with applause. Word was received at I o'clock. Just as the speaker finished, that there was no longer hopes of Dar row arriving in time to deliver an ad dress, and the audience was dismissed. "I cannot explain, the absence of Mr. Darrow," said H. ' C. McAllister last night. "His Itinerary Is complete for his nine speeches In Oregon, the first to have been delivered at the Masonic Temple tonight. He is scheduled to speak in Pendleton tomorow night and La Grande Saturday night. His other dates are Oregon City, October 16; Asto ria. October 17: Salem. October 19; Roseburg. October 20: Eugene,- October 21. and Portland. October 22. We have advertised all of these dates. What has h'aDDened 1 don't know. There Is cer- tninlv a serious misunderstanding. "Until Mr. Darrow arrives I cannot clear It up nor can I say what dates throughout the state will be canceled. if It does not disarrange our programme too much, X shall try to have Mr. Darrow speak here Saturday night." WHITE GIRL WEDS JAP ILLITERATE ORIENTAL MAKES BELLE HAMILTON WIFE. Bennie Sumle, Restaurant Employe at Gooding, Has Difficulty Get ting License, but Lands It. . BOISBL Idaho, Oct. 13. (Special.) Be cause the laws of Idaho do not prohibit a white woman and a Japanese to marry, Bennie Sumle, Illiterate and almost un able to talk the English language, was granted a license by the County Clerk In this county last night to wed Miss Belle Hamilton, an American girl, whose father, George Hamilton, Is said to be business man of Portland. The license was secured with diffi culty, the clerk declining to Issue it when the couple called, on the grounds umie was a Japanese. He consunea ujuhij Attorney McCarthy and it then developed that such a union is not prohibited unoer the statutes. The license was granted forthwith and a few hours later the mar riage of the couple waa solemnixed be fore Justice Bower. Sumie was forced to use the services of an interpreter to secure the' license. Hies Japanese confrere refuses to di vulge the romance of the couple, al though the authorities ascertained the bride's father Is a Portland retident. She gave her residence as Boise. The couple left for Gooding where both are employed In a restaurant and have been living for some months. Sumie says he will return to Boise and open a restaurant of nis own. The name of George Hamilton does not appear in the Portland directory. PORTLAND GIRL ELOPES MISS MARY KLTTKIS RUSHES TO PENDLETON TO WED. Mrs. Harry B. Inman "Puts One Over" : on Father and Joins Mod ern Cowboy-Locblnrar. PENDLETON, Or., Oct 13. 1 Special.) "Love Is all and all is love." Such was, no doubt, the dominating thought that has been chasing through the brain cells of Miss Mary Klukls that was, Sirs. Harry B. Inman that is, erstwhile of Portland, but now of the range and cow camps of Eastern Oregon, and this thought evidently Justified her in the course she was lm pelled to take. A big factor in this new welding was Harry B. Inman, cowboy, range rider and broncho-buster, attracted to Pendleton by the fame of the "Round up." This romance Involves a picturesque horse-tamer, a hero-worshiping maiden, a jilted sister, an irate father, with the chubby Love God and his magic ar, rows very much in evidence. Two years passed and though the two did not meet they remained true. There might not have been an im mediate consummation of their dreams had not the young lady read in the papers of the achievements of her hero at the frontier celebration in Pendle ton. Her heart filled with pride and she sent him notice of her Intention to join him at once. But this was the moment when the father played his part in the drama. Learning of the proposed flight, he seized her trunk, money and clothes. He overlooked a raincoat, however, and, journeying to a pawnshop with this, she quickly converted It into enough cash to buy a ticket to Pendleton and joined her lover here today, when they were made man and wife. Miss Mary Klukls was formerly . a clerk In a Portland store and lived 365 Morris street. MORE BODIES ARE FOUN Burned Minnesota Woo'ds Contlnu to Give Up Toll of Dead. RAINY RIVER, Ont., Oct. 13.
