Stubbornly refusing to believe that

a Jeweler, of Tain Falls, Idaho, was
Indignant yesterday nooit, when De

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

engaged him In conversation. Leav

stranger until they encountered a sec

Williams, rushed up to tfie "capitalist."

Newman Is Winner.
The stranger, who gave the name F.

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

Newman went back for more' monev

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,

when two baby girls came to take up
their residence with Captain Dcrmltt

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

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

Claranre M. Clark, of Philadelphia
Herbert I. Clark, of Philadelphia;
Franklin I. Fuller, of Portland: Fred

' President Josselyn sard that the new
board of directors accepted the plans
of the development work for the pres

the progress made by the company dur

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

MANY CHILDREN COMING
Free Trips to Rose Festival Popular
Advertising Schemes.
George L. Hutchin told the Portland Ad
Club yesterday at Its weekly luncheon
that GOO' to 600 girls and boys are coming
to Portland to attend the Rose Festival
as the result of contests held by various
newspapers in the country.
"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

benefit to the city.
