WAHKIAKUM MAY JADE
3love On to Add Small Wahlti-ton
County to Other.
Contrary to tTi general practice In
Western atatre of cutting up bite coun
ties Into smaller ones a movement Is
on foot In Washington to do away with
on county and mak two larger ones.
Th county that la elated to be wiped
off th map Is Wahkiakum. Some of
th member of th Washington Igls
latur ar of th opinion that a county
with auch a nam ouwht to b abolished
If for no reason other than Its difficult
pronunciation and still mor difficult
spelling.
K. l citewart. Senator from Cowlitx
Countv. who la at the Oretton Hotel,
and la a member of the Washington
legislative committee that will confer
with the Oregon Leglalatlv commltte
today on the uniform flaring laws for
th Columbia Illver. Is among the advo
cates of abolishing- Wahk'akum County.
"The reason for abolishing- Wahkia
kum County." said Senator Stewart, "la
one of economy. The proposition la to
throw part of th county Into Cowllt
and part Into Pacific It would aave
an unnecessary expense of maintaining
on county. The population of Wahkia
kum County ia S:i. while that of Cow
lux la ll.il. and of Pacific 1S.S32. Th
division of Wahkiakum County would
not add materially to th population of
either county absorbing It and would
not make mteral difference to th
resident of Wahkiakum ao far aa con
venience la concerned, but It would b
a great financial saving;.-
No bill has been Introduced In
the legislature abolishing Wahkiakum
Count v but such a measur will prob
ably be presented before the session
ends.

Report that dentxens of th under-'

a recent grand Jury Investigation, were
attempting to re-establish themselves
and reopen their houses, reached th
Chief of Porte and caused a round-up
Saturday night. In which 11 persons
were tsken to the city Jail, charged
with various activities in th service of

the prisoners.
Information, mostly anonymoua. has
been placed In th possession of th
Ptsirtct Attorney, charging that th re

temporary. Specific instances wer
cited wbrre notorious houses had re

police force to be on the lookout for
offenses of this nature.
Patrolmen McCarty and Wellbrook. In
plain clothes, entered two places Satur
day night, and In each cas secured
evidence which warranted th arrest of

Soon afterward the sams officers rls

Popular Concert at Heilig Is
Marked Success.
LEADERS ARE COMMENDED
Well-Arranged ProRramme Replete
With Effective Orchestral and
Choral Numbers Responsive
Chord Struck In Hearers.
An unqualified success in every wsy
waa th popular concert given yester
day afternoon at th Helllg Theater,
before an audlenc that filled the seat
ing capacity of the house, and encored
nearly every Item on th well arranged
programme. Both chorus and orchestra
pleased, and the chorus came out ahead
by reason of the friends It hsd "out In
front." Many persons called on W. H.
Hoyer, the chorus director, David C.
Rosebrook. orchestral director, and the
Helllg management, after the concert
was concluded and expressed their ap
preciation of th treat given them.
Programme I Classical.
Th whole programme was classical,
yet not removed so far abov th
knowledge of the ordinary concert
goer that it was beyond his resch.
Mnny of the selections given ar al
ready popular favorites and were
gladly recognised as such. The or
chestral concert was begun at :li
o'clock and the grand march from
Verdi's "Alda" received a Ulgn'fied,
ststely rendition, the good -work of the
cornet soloist being notable. Titl's
serenade for flute and French horn
opened like a revelation of dainty fairy
land, the throbbing beauty of the bass
accompaniment being finely accentuat
ed. The flute soloist was H. E. Millard
and the French horn soloist Charles
Walrath. who both played with musi
claniy ability and attention to light
and shade. Po well Uked was this
number that the audience Insisted on
Its repetition. Tite "Concert Wsltx."
by Ftrauss. awoke familiar memories,
and the time was so well marked that
the audience often nodded "one. two
three" In sympathy.
Chorus Sings Local Cantata.
Father Dominic's musical setting to
the poem written by the lata Samuel
L. Simpson on "Beautiful Willamette"
received th first public rendition by
a chorus la this city, and It was wel
comed with something like family en
thusiasm, awakening, as It did. so
many loyal memories. The music of
this cantata has already been favorably
commented on at length, particularly
when It was sung with such distinction
by the Portland Festival Chorus at
the recent exposition at Seattle, Wash.
Th rendition yesterday was -tuneful
and th chorus deserves credit for its
careful and steady ainglng of music
thst Is often catchy and difficult, but
all th time beautiful.
The rendition of Wagner" "Hall.
Bright 'Abode." from "Tannhaetiser,"
was somewhat unsteady In attack, due
to some of the choristers not being
familiar with the music. Mrs. Rose
niiKh Bauer won a personal triumph
In her rendition of the Innammatus,"
from the Stabat Mater," and her
spirited, yet devotional, singing of this
dramatic number was a vocal treat.
Fred T. Crowther, baritone, made a
fine Impression with his artistic sing
ing of a number from Mendelssohn's
"St. Psul." and Miss M. Fvelyn Hurley,
contralto. sng with splendid effect in her
Interpretation of Gounod's "The Work
ers." The women's chorus won a deserved
recall In the "Barcsrolle," from "The
Tstes of Hoffman."

iyf IRTK. beauty, youth, light color
1 I and melody, everything In fact
necesaary for the delight of three
senses are offered In the musical ex
travaganza "Three Twins," returning
to Portland for a second visit, this time
at th Helllg. where it opened a week's
engagement last evening.
Verily It's an edition de lux In cos
tume and scenic Investiture; all the
lines sparkle, the acting Is Invariably
spirited and tha whole thing moves
with assurance. No need to re-tell the
plot; It's crystal clear and never lost
to those who witness It for the first
time, and 'twould be an old tale to
those who'v already viewed It. The
company, this season is headed by those
two prime musical comedy favorites
whom Portia nders saw last year, charm
ing Bessie Clifford, whose dancing quite
overshadows anything In the terpsl
chorean line we've had since Pavlowa;
and Victor Morley. who stands in the
front rank of legitimate comedians.
Right royal was the welcome given
to the famous "Cuddle Up a Little
Closer" song, with its effective and
original tableaux showing the seven
ages of cuddling, sung by Eveleen
Kunsmore. whose high soprano voice Is
sweet and excellently trained. One lost
track of the encores given this num
ber and that of Bessie Clifford's "Varna
Yama Man." "
Miss Clifford's pantomime Is exqui
site and her Illuminative countenance
unmistakably suggests her every
thought aa she dances. She puts a
delicate light and shade In her wonder
fully graceful interpretation of the
hypnotic dance, and her Yama was a
riot of unconflned Joy.
Mr. Morley. with Edward Wade as
a dyspectlc old General are the comedy
duo of the production. One must admit
that few actors could have sufficient
vitality and magnetism to hold an
audience's rapt attention In a ten or
, cialty. but Mr. Morley does It and the
audience howls Itself blue In the face
for more. His oddity on tha monocle,
snd his melodrama burlesque are re
freshingly humorous. A pretty dance
number Is contributed by F"stell Col
bert as the Oeneral's ward Isabel, and
Harrison Garrett, as Ned. her fiance.

The chorus, especially good to look

ONE of those laugh-tlll-your-sldes-.
sche comedies Is put over the
Bnker footlights this week In "Billy.",
who Is a nephew of "Charlie's Aunt."
that other knock-out dose of fun. There's
neither rhyme nor reason in the stors.
It has no philosophy, no moral to point,
no "problem" to solve, no "conditions"
to psrsde. It's Just a lot of particularly
clever lines and breezy repartee, written
around a set of false teeth as tha pivotal
character, and the actors at the Baker
do all the rest. I La all about a young
college chap who has given four
good front teeth in th csuse of foot
ball and the glory of his own team. He
has tli missing molars replaced with
some of the )ust-as-good variety mad
for him by the dentist, and in order to
become quit used to them he takes a
sea voyage. On the boat, by previous
arrangement with the playwright, are the
Srl he -loves, her mother and his b-l-t-t-e-r
r-l-v-a-1, as well as several other
folk of more or less importance. Fear
ing his rival will beat him In the Mar
athon, the chap with th teeth become
over-hasty and Is In the act of rushing
through a proposal when an accident
causes him to lose his tectn.
Panic-stricken lest his adored one see
his predicament he makes foolish chattur
and rushes away, hoping to recover the
teeth snd renew his suit. But he can't
find them, although he rings his pro
testing sister Into the mad hunt. Of
course, the Inevitable mixtip happens;
the girl can't understand the installment
plan proposal, her mother refuses to un
derstand anything and the rival does a
land office business pending tha finding
of the teeth. That the latter are picked
up by the boatswain and later auctioned
off for the benefit fund for Indigent sea
men, and that the rival bids high for the
molars, believing them the property of
the girl's mother, constitutes In Itself
one of the excruciatingly funny bits of
the play's development.
Thurston Hall, doubly debonair
and devilish, is "Billy." tha agi
tated chap with, or rather with
out, the teeth. He plays with a natur
alness, a spontaneity and Invests the
role with so much ginger that he strikes
12 with his audience. Even his lisp
sends folks Into neac convulsions. Ida
Adair Is Billy's protesting sl3ter. impish
and throroughly delightful. Miss Adair
has certainly come Into her own with
Baker patrons, and while Mr. Baker's
search for a leading woman has covered
several months and brought many
changes. It has all been worth it. since it
brings us such a really pleasing and
charming actress, and one whose versa
tility grows only more evident with esch
succeeding role. She's great this-week.
Beatrice Nichols Is the "girl" Billy loves
and Is not up to ber usual mark. In that
she seems to Jack the animation that one
has learned to look for in her work.
Lillian Andrews captures three loving
cups and a hatful of blue ribbons for
her portrayal of the mother of Billy's
girl. Miss Andrews makes hex a forget
ful, righteous-minded dame, and wholly
amusing. The audience welcomed her
entrances and mourned her departures.
As th rival, Henry Stockbridge gives
clever work and the bits of by-play be
tween him and Billy are relished. Ex
cellent character bits are offered by
John Burton, as th boatswain, and Wil
liam Gilbert, as a sailor. Other meri
torious contributions are those of Kath
ertne Krelg in the guise of a stupid
stewardess, Brenda Fowler and Thomas
MacLarnie as Billy's parents. Thomas
Kruegef, as the captain, and William
Wolbert, as a doctor.

A FLAY that never grows old; on
that never falls to please, with Its
wholesomeness. clean lines and upright
teaching, is "Th Gentleman From Mis
sissippi," which Is appearing at the
Bungalow this week. Ever popular Is
that rotund, white-haired, red-faced,
good-natured, "clean politician" from
Mississippi, who proves that Senators
can ba square and who prophesies that
clean politics "is what we will have at
some future time."
The cast Is large, but the honors fall
to- Robert A. Fischer, as 'William H.
Langdon. Senator from Mistolsslppl, and
John A. Butler as "Bud" Jiaines, re
porter on the New York Star, and later
the Senator's private secretary and ad
viser. Especially dramatic is the scene
In the second act, when Senator Lang
don discovers that Senators Stevens and
Peabody are planning to pans a bill
over his head to further their private
Interests. The Senator from Mississippi
wins In the last act and spoils some
plots of political crooks.
Much applause was accorded to Miss
Lilian Rhodes, the leading woman, who
eight years ago was Ingenue with the
Baker Stock Company. This Is Miss
Rhodes' first visit to Portland in the
els-ht years and she will renew many
acquaintances during her stay here.
Miss Rhodes, as JUiss nope urngaon, me
Senator's daughter. Is satisfactory. She
Is pretty and graceful, has a good fig
ure and wears fetching costumes.
Ernest Evers, as Dick Cullen, car
ries his part ' well as the impetuous
lover of Amelia Butterworth, Senator
Stevens' secretary. He finally wins th
dignified Amelia, after "280 proposals."

"The last clause In the bill, which
says 'subject to the local option laws,
is responsible for all this talk about
elections subsequent to the passage of
the bill. That clause is ridiculous.
"The home rulo bill Is an amend
ment to the constitution of the state.
Doe any one suppose that the consti
tution of the state can be made sub
ject to -statutory provisions? That
would be making the higher and
fundamental law subservient to the
lower or statutory law. In my opinion,
the Supreme Court would hold that
that clause means nothing, because It
Is Inoperative and it might as well
have never been written into the bill.
Stripping the bill of that clause, what
have we? A constitutional amendment
giving to Incorporated cities the right
to regulate traffic in liquor within Its
corporate limits."
Ex-City Attorney Micelll drew up the
charter of Roseburg, and when the City
Council took up the question of Issu
ing liquor licenses', he was called in
consultation.
"If the Council issues liquor licenses
under my Interpretation of the home
rule bill." continued the' ex-City Attor
ney, "it will commit no crime. A man
who chooses to sell liquor and is
granted a license has the authority
for doing so. and cannot be punished
for selling liquor Illegally or without
a license, because he would have a
license regularly Issued. If the Coun
cil takes this action the Issue Is then
squarely presented, and should any one
want to contest the action, a case could
go to the Supremo Court on the merits
of the home rule bill.
"There Is still another point. Rose
burg voted wet, and there is no offi
cial knowledge that it is 'dry" terri
tory. I have . studied . the home rule
bill, and I am willing to stake my
reputation that the bill gives cities the
exclusive right to regulate the liquor
traffic within the corporate limits.
Then, there Is the Intent to be consid
ered. Even the prohibitionists them
selves contended all through the cam
paign that cities would have too much
power in controlling the liquor traffic,
and even went so far as to assert that
a city would practically be a small
monarchy In Itself. There Is no doubt
that those who voted for the bill be
lieved it would give cities the right to
regulate the liquor traffic within their
corporate limits, and such Is not only
the wording of the bill, but clearly its
Intent. Any attorney know that the
intent" of a law is the point consid
ered by the higher courts, and there Is
no doubt about the bill's intention."
Ex-City Attorney Micelll was accom
panied by Dr. E. V. Hoover, ex-Mayor
of Roseburg.

"HOLY CATHOLIC."
'Function Is Xot Merely4 Serving
World, but Witnessing Christ Be
fore 3Icn," Says Minister.
"The Holy Catholic Church" was the
subject of Dr. William Hiram Foulkes'
sermon at the First Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning. Aa to the
unity, sanctity, catholicity and apostol
iclty asserted by the Catholic Church,
Dr. Foulkes said "the unity Is not spir
itual, the sanctity is the outward holi
ness of penance, the catholicity is not
real universality, but uniformity of
government, and the apostollcity Is not
of life and example, but a public and
formal succession of ministers and sac
raments. "It is true faith that makes and
marks a true church, and not the
church that makes and marks true
faith." said the pastor, quoting from
Bauneman. "The church is the whole
mystical body of Christ in Heaven and
on eartfr,". he continued, "the church
Invisible.
"The Lord never willed a divided
church, because that meant broken fel
lowship. The saddest spectacle of all
Is that churches which claim to be most
truly catholic are the readiest to deny
fellowship to great hosts of Christian
people, these churches having close
communion and closed pulpits.
"Christ taught his disciples the1 les
son of service. The church must serve
the world. Temporal felicity is a false I
note.
"Too often we exhaust our ideas of the
church by stating its duties and rela
tions to men. We must not forget that
the prime duty and fundamental rela
tion of this church is to its exalted
head. Christ Is head over all things to
the church.
"The only embodiment he has on
earth Is his Holy Catholic Church. If
I had said Roman Catholic, how inade
quate! It takes the Holy Catholic
Church to embody the universal church.
If there were no other reason for the
missionary propaganda, this would be
enough, that the body of Christ on
earth might be complete. The function
of the church is not merely serving the
world, but witnessing of Christ before
men. The function of the church is not

Six-Year-Old Joe Delaney Enjoys
Eating at Police Station.
Although he became lost on the streets
when sent out by his mother to buy a
paper. 6-year-old Joe Delaney was not
worried when the officers took him to
the police station. An officer found him
wandering- about the streets, early in the
evening and took him to the station,
where Joe made It known that he wanted
a sandwich. When Chlpf Cox asked
whether he wished a ham or a cheeHe
sandwich Joe said he would take both.
Later in the evening: Captain Bailey
bought two more and tha little fellow
devoured them as If ho bad misted his
dinner.
He says his lather is a switchman,
but that was the extent of the informa
tion he could give the officers. At 9
o'clock his father, who resides at 433
Everett street, called for his son.
