Stubbornly refusing to believe that he was the Intended victim In a scheme to mulct him of S500. H. R. Newman, a Jeweler, of Tain Falls, Idaho, was Indignant yesterday nooit, when De tectives Day and Hyde met him at the I'nlon Station and arrested Fred Wil liams, his companion. For an hour the officers argued with Newman before he became convinced and turned In to help the officers locate the other of the pair, said to be clever bunco men. Williams was arrested on a charge ol vagrancy. Newman, accompanied by his wife, arrived here last Thursday, setting out on a long pleasure trip. Near the sta tion he met a plausible stranger, who engaged him In conversation. Leav ing his wife, he walked with the stranger until they encountered a sec ond man. engaged In counting a fat mil of bills. Newman's companion, Williams, rushed up to tfie "capitalist." who finally consented to remember him. lie said that he had Just "put down a bet on the ponies" and had made a fat "win." He asked Williams If he and his friend would like to try their luck, and Williams risked ." while Newman ventured 12. Newman Is Winner. The stranger, who gave the name F. CI. Keene, disappeared, returning; In a few minutes with the money doubled. Another bet was made, and again both won. Then they retired to a room and carried on the process with remark able success. During the day New man's winnings mounted to $125. Newman went back for more' monev on Friday, and wan easily Inveigled Into betting two drafts for $50 each and his personal check on a Twin Falls bank for $.'.000. Again ho won, Ms gains aggreKatlng $11,160. Williams played an euual game and won like wise. Then Newman tried to "cash in" but Keene demurred to paying on a check that he did not know to be good. It was agreed that Newman and Wil liams should go to Twin Falls, rash the check and return to collect their winnings. Williams had drawn a check 'of equal amount on a Moorhead, M!nn bank, and It was arranged that he was to telegraph to a sister there to remit the money by telegraph to Twin Falls.

TUB fairies who hover about dis tributing gifts when wee strangers make their advent In families must surely have worked over union hours when two baby girls came to take up their residence with Captain Dcrmltt a real sea-captain, in the little town of Rockport. Mc. For many years the beauty of the Permit t girls was the pride of the little village, snd all the folk felt their praise merited when Jessie, the elder, was heralded far and wide as the loveliest ' woman on the American stage. Hut that was "yeahs and yeahs afterward." and she had metamorphosed Into Maxine Llltott ere that time. The other sister Joined a stock company. In t!an Francisco, and. later, after several seasons In Eastern productions, where her great beauty won almost as much recognition as that of her statuesque sister, she was wed ded to Forbes Robertson, who is prob ably the best-liked English actor In the world today. Good Cheer Spread Abroad. Just now Mr. Robertson Is playing his second season In New York In his great play of cheerfulness. "The Pass ing of the Third Floor Back, ana Mrs. Robertson Is In Portland starring in an other play of cheerfulness called "The Dawn of a Tomorrow." And three lit tle Robertsons are at home In England, at Aunt Maxlne's country place. "Just $5 minutes by motor out from London," to quote their mother. To digress from our muttons a secona. be It known thnt the mirror in the star's dressing-room at the Helllg The ater Is Invariably the keynote to the caprice, preference or characteristics of the actor or actress who happens to do In possession of it. For Instance. Max Figman bad only one huge picture of Mrs. Mux Figman adorning the table. lovely Viola Allen had a pile of books scattered its length; Bessie Clifford had raft of vaudeville pictures: Margaret llllngton had put up 17 pictures of her Tacoma home and 67 varieties of pic tures of her Tacoma htuband; Madame Kopetzky. of the "Chocolate Boldler." bad sheets of music all over the place, and so on down or up the list. But to Gertrude Elliott belongs the distinc tion of having plastered the place with pictures of her three beautiful babies. Graces Three Are Babies. A trio of Graces are they In truth. There's Maxine. the namesake and par ticular protege of her auntie. To dis tinguish Just which Miixlne Is wanted, the little one Is called Blossom. And she looks very much like one, with her flower-like face framed by a mass of soft curls that fall about her shoulders. Such a quaintly serious little maid of 7 she Is. too, her mother says, and her dignity is almost awe-inspiring. Then follows Jean, a fluffy-haired damsel, who looks like her aristocratic father. The bab is Chloc. She is round and fat and has a dimple tucked in every square Inch of her roily-poly body. Pictures of them at every age. stage and page of their small existences smile from the dresaing room wnlls. Surely photographers in the vicinity of the Robertson-Elliott es tablishment must wax fat. And yet not one picture of these babies has been made public "It Isn't that I have scru ples about printed pictures." smiled their mother, "but my babies belong to us, and cannot possibly be of Interest to out siders, sufficiently to warrant the pub lishing of their pictures. It's vsstly dif ferent with people whoee art -demands publicity. That Is all a part of the business. Work Does Talking. "Personally. I prefer to let my work speak for Itself.

It stead of trying to Influence the victim, he telegraphed to Chief of Police Cox, with the result that Newman and his new friend were met at the station yesterday.- The Jeweler had with him $0000 In cash, and only the vigilance of the police is said to have him from losing- It. Newman Is quite wealthy. The officers endeavored to keep the appointment with Keene. but appar ently he had become suspicious He has not yet been found. Newman can not remember where the betting room was. DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED Portland Railway, Lizht Power Company Plans Extensions. The stockholders of the Portland Hallway. Llsrht & Power Company met in annual session In the offices of the company In the Klectrlc building yes terday afternoon and re-elected me board of directors for the year. The directors are: J. C.

Wilcox, of Portland. The directors will meet in regular session next month and at that time will elect officers of the company. ' President Josselyn sard that the new board of directors accepted the plans of the development work for the pres ent year and were well pleased with the progress made by the company dur ng the oast 12 months. "We have been taking advantage of ;ie fine weather that baa prevailed this month and have made a good start on street Improvement work, said Mr. Josselyn. "We Intend to keep large forces of men at work until the rains stop us next Fall. We have 30 miles of street improvement work mapped out for this year.

Orders for uniforms to supply the motormen and conductors employed on the Portland traction lines were placed by tha Portland Railway. Light & Pow er, Company yesterday with the Salem Woolen MUla Company, of Portland. acting for an Eastern manufacturer. The employes, at a recent meeting, ac cepted the bid of this firm and author lied the company to place the order. The contract calls for made-to-measure garments and will be delivered to the men at a cost of about $20 each. The atyle of uniforms will be similar to those worn at present, excepting that the conductors will have pockets re-enforced with leather. They will be of blue serge with brass buttons. It is expected that they will be delivered within three months after the measures of the men are taken. a About 1000 men are to be supplied Certrajde Elliott, Starring la A Diss of a Tomorrow," at the Helllg. optimism, her glorious spirit of inde pendence, the big. beautiful soul of her. Just as intensely and with as keen pleasure as if I were playing her for the first time again. To one who has read Mrs. Burnett's book of the same title as the play the great differences In the story and stage version must be quite apparent. As a piece of writ ing, merely, the book Is a gem. The author simply could not dramatize the book, so she took the character of Glad and made her grow up for stage pur poses, put the optimistic words of the old woman of the story Into Glad's mouth, introduced a strong love ele ment to please everybody, and so made the play. As a rule, the author slav ishly follows the text of the book from which the play comes. Mrs. Burnett kept the fine, big Ideas, the primal ,ele ments of her wonderful book, and cre ated an Interesting moving play. It Is Infinitely easier to write a book than a play. In the book one may write by descriptions; in a play the author must create the action. In a book one may say 'the heroine did so and so.' or the 'wind bowled dismally,' but when It comes to a play one must show the heroine doing her so and so, and produce the wind howling dis mally. Writing or Plays Pays. "Really there's nothing so lucrative as play-wrltlng. I only wish "I had the ability to write one. Sometimes my husband and I remodel lines or bits of a composition, but neither of us is talented in that branch of the stage work." . Don't imagine Miss Elliott was say ing all this in one long unbreathing spell, for she was not. She was flash ing In and out of the dressing-room, moving with rapid bird-like move ments and smiling- all the while. She Is on the stage most of the time in this play, and has very few minutes to spend chatting. But she Is sweet and gracious and far lovelier than her sis ter Maxine. Maybe it is the babies and the warm radiance of her smile, all maternal as she looks at their pictures. Miss Elliott, by the way. Is busy even row rehearsing liar new play sVn- next season. It is called "Rebellion." and is an ultra-modern story of a woman's point of view. Mr. Robertson, she says, will come to Portland next sea son In his "Passing of the Third Floor Bark." And Sister Maxine has gone to I-ondnn to retire forever, this Miss Elliott alOrms. A sliaani' i aCsaasisaasr-aaal A IS YOUR TIME VALUABLE?

"I do not know whether you admen know it or not." said Mr. Hutchin, "but it Is a fact that there are a large num ber of newspaper circulation schemes go ing on now in which the principal prize is a trip to Portland and return, with all expenses paid. This form of advertising Is the best we can get, for It costs noth ing and at the same time is of great benefit to the city. Yesterday's luncheon was well attend ed. George L.
