On cross-examination tna women said
that they had llmlnaled whole petl

this action, they testified, was that they

steady stream of the handwriting of
only four or five persons making them
feel that probably whole petltlonswere
forced. These were not taken Into

The clerks discovered that of tha
names they reported upon 14JS were
not registered, but these may have to
be accepted as genuine for the reason
that tha law prescribes that legal

istered, may sign Initiative and refer

determined whether the friends of the
university will have to prove these
fraudulent, one by one, to have them
eliminated or whether the burden of
proving their genuineness will be upon

vent the referendum being placed on

made formal objection to the reception
of the testimony of Mrs. Ptarr and Miss
Burke, on the ground that tha women
are not experts and that their Investl
gstlon was of a general and not of a
particular character. The women wera
the first witnesses for tha state.

On tha petitions which tha clerks
refused to consider because of their
vtdent lack of genuineness ther wera
about 200 names and that these will
be eliminated without further consid

namea attached to blank sheets of
paper are Invalidated, taat will bring
the number of eliminations to "73i,
which, with the J: the state's wit
nesses referred to as bad or suspected,
would make a grand total of IOC I. The
defense. It Is understood, has admitted
that the Itoe names referred to are
worthless. The number of namea filed
was 13.7 IS. and with DOtl out only (tat
would remain, which would throw out
the petitions, as CHS names are re
quired. The Silt namea which the plaintiffs
attorneys insist must be thrown out
because written on blank sheets of
paper were signed on sheets which
were stapled to front sheets bearing
the wording of the referendum peti

of tha petition and other printed mat

contention.

SETTLERS ARE SOUGHT
OREGO.V RESOURCES TO BE 0
EXHIBIT AT ST. FACI
Northwest Development League to
Give Information About Seven
i States and Alaska.
ST. PAUL Minn, Nov. SO. (Special.)
To exploit the resources of the Amer
ican Northwest, establish a central
Immigration bureau and aid in every
way to attract settlers and Investors
In seven states and Alaska, the North
weat Development League will open a
permanent exhibit of the resources of
these states In St. Paul about Feb
ruary 1. HIS. and maintain It- For
this purpose SS00 square feet of floor
space In one of the new office buildings
of St. Paul has been secured.
The states, which will each have 800
square feet of space, less the amount
necessary for aisles, are Minnesota.
South Ihtkota. North Dakota. Montana.
Idaho. Oregon and Washington. Alas
ka will later be added.
This announcement was made here
today by Lewis Penwell. president of
the league, who with Will A. Camp
bell, secretary, was Instructed recent
ly to negotiate for the exhibit space.
The St- Paul Association of Com
merce tendered the league officials tha
exhibit rooms in the new Commerce
building, nearly completed. This build
ing Is of the most modern type and
stands at Fourth and Wabasha streets.
In the heart of the business district
of St. Paul, one block from Interurban
carlines and within easy distance of
the site for the new Union Depot which
James J. Hill has Just announced will
be erected In St. Paul at once.
According to the agreement, the St.
Paul Association of Commerce la to
furnish the rooms, rental free, and
heat them. The Northwest Develop
ment League will furnish them, collect
the exhibits, light the rooms and main
tain them aa well as supply literature
about each state to be represented In
the exhibits.
"The experience of the Great North
ern Railroad with a small exhibit room
In St. Paul la that from 1S.000 to S0.000
persons a month can be shown through
the exhibit and frequently that many
names of those who are actually hunt
ing homes have been secured by this
railroad." said Secretary Campbell.
"We are beginning modestly. We want
to show S000 persona through this ex
hibit each month. If necessary we
shall have someone talk with each
visitor. We shall secure the names and
find out whether they are Interested
In any particular section. We shall
publish a booklet giving uniform In
formation about each state and give
one to each visitor. The names will
be supplied to our members.
"For Instance. If half a dozen Com
mercial Clubs In Montana belong to
our organisation, the secretaries of
those clubs will receive each month the
nsmes of every visitor. They will
probsbly be sent out weekly. The
state Immigration officials and the Im
migration departments of the railroads
will also be supplied with these names,
thus giving them a live mailing list
8 follow up.
"Some of the msterlal will be se
cured from the exhibits at the coming
land show, and next year we ahall
spend considerable time and money
collecting a rr.apnlflcent exhibit."
TWO THUGS WAYLAY THREE
Police Seek Highwaymen Who Rob
on East and West Mde.
With three bold attempts at rob
bery to 'their record In two nights,
two highwaymen are sought by the
police with unusual energy. In con
nection with one case they are charged
with beating one ef their victims, and
In all three eases they showed unusual
daring.
The first of their known exploits took
place early Sunday morning, when J.
W. Vallln. of Kaat Seventeenth
street, waa set upon at East Sixteenth
and Fast Washington streets. He
showed resistance and the holdup men
beat him. He managed to make hla
way to his home.
O. K. Smith was accosted on Ford
street early yesterday by two men. one
of whom held a revolver. Smith ran.
shouting for help. The robbers chased
him to the door of St. Helen's Hall
snd then desisted.
K. R. Dashor. living at Nineteenth
and Marshall streets, was robbed of I
bv two men. evidently the same pair.
They also took his watch, but finding
his initials on It. handed It back.
In all three cases the men are de
scribed aa young and well dressed, and
the description of their appearance
tallies closely.

Flowers Banked High.
Pantages Theater came Into a new
and better own last night. The wife
of the millionaire owner of the Pan
tages circuit of theaters, herself a per
former, lent eclat to the occasion: the
stage and orchestra pit were one great
bank of flowers: the building was
crowded to the roof with an enthu
siasts audienoe and a bill that had
not a single weak act. were all factors
that helped to make the first perform
ance of Pantages attractions In the
new theater, at Seventh and Alder
streets, one of the notable events or
the theatrical season.
Long before the doors were thrown
open for the first performance atv7
o'clock Seventh street was thronged.
Every eeat was taken within five
minutes. While the orchestra played a
maroh. "Alexandria." dedicated by Its
composer. S. W. Rosebrook. to Alex
ander Pantages. the 14 handsomely ap
pointed boxea were filled with invited
guests, among whom were Mayor
Rushlight, city offlolals. the managers
of every theater In Portland and a
number of prominent cltlsena.
Iaerlora Beauty Loose.
The interior of the building proved
that the clalma of Its beauty were not
overestimated. With Its delicate cream
and gold tinting, handsome curtains
and comfortable leather seats, Pan
tages promises to be not the leaet at
tractive of Portland's theaters. George
L. Hutcnln. who made the dedicatory
address. touched that note. Mr.
Hutcnln added that the "King of
amusement purveyors had dedicated
this palace of mirth to the muslc-lov-Ing
publlo of Portland."
Notable In Pantagea Is the luxury
everywhere manifested. Comfort has
been a primary conalderation. The
drops and stage furnishings are In
good taste, two of the many eurtalna
with which the stage la supoMed being
conspicuous for the excellence of the
artistic work bestowed on them.
Opening BUI la Stellar.
There could hsrdly have been a bet
ter bill for the theater's debut. It waa
balanced aa thoroughly as M. Rudolphy
balanced a Japanese teahouse and half
a dozen persons on his feet in the
first act on the programe. "An Epi
sode In a Japanese Teahouse" served
to show M. Rudolphy In a number of
unique "strong man" displays, while
Mile. Daree added local color by sing
ing In costume.
The Telegraph Four, a quartet of
"messenger boys" In songs and dances,
won Its way to the hearts of the audi
ences. Really novel, undoubtedly origi
nal and the first time In Portland, the
Davis and Gledhlll trio In bicycle and
motorcycle races proved 10 minutes of
thrills and excitement. Each machine
Is mounted on four loose rollers, geared
to a miniature bicycle running around
a circular track. Distance races. In
which all the spirit of a real contest
was manifested, pleased the audience,
the equivalent of two miles being reeled
off In t it and three In t.Si.
Guy Woodward delighted with "Fif

stories, but there was more than a dash
of tha spice of variety In his happy,

the audience from the moment he
stepped on the boards.

STEEL TRUST OBJECTS
INVESTIGATION. IX VIEW OF
61'IT, HELD IMPROPER,
Congressional Committee Will Con
tinue to Hear Witnesses Already
Summoned, However.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. When the
special committee of Inquiry of the
House In the United States Steel Cor
poration met today to resume hearings
it was confronted with objections to
the continuance of Its work made on
behalf of the steel corporation by Its
counsel. Richard V. Llndabury and D. A.
Reld, on the ground that the United
States Government lias brought suit
against the corporation for violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law.
The objections were made In execu
tive session of the committee, six mem
bers of which were present. Counsel
for the steel trust based their principal
argument on a particular phrase In the
original resolution passed by Congress
authorizing the appointment of the steel
committee and directing the Inquiry.
This phrase of the resolution directs
the committee to Inquire Into viola
tions of the law which have not been
prosecuted by the executive officers of
the Government.
After several hours' deliberation the
chairman announced that It had been
unanimously decided to defer action on
the disputed point until the full com
mittee reassembled, and in the mean
time to proceed, beginning tomorrow,
with the hearing of witnesses already
summoned to appear.
LYRIC THEATER REOPENS
"The Jolly Widow" Is Presented and
Pleases Bis; Audience.
If proof were needed that the pub
lic has not been weaned away from
musical plays by moving pictures, the
crowds tliat surged around the new
Lyrlo Theater at Fourth and Stark
streets last night would have been suf
ficient for anyone. "The Jolly Widow"
Company can have no fault to find
with the reception they received at
their opening performance.
The sidewalk in front of the entrance
was blocked for more than an hour be
fore the doors opened by - people who
were anxious to see the sprightly musi
cal play. In the Jam that ensued when
the doors were finally opened one of
the Iron supports was carried away,
hats were crushed, hair and clothing
disarranged. The crowd, however,
seemed to think the strain was worth
while.
"The Jolly Widow'; Is Just about as
original as Its title would Indicate. In
fact It Is patterned after a long line
of musical comedies, but the maker has
succeeded In putting In a few touches
that give the show a novel turn. There
Is, of course a handsome widow, two
swells and two funny men, all In love
with her, and 12 pretty chorus girls.
There are nine solos and choruses that
are tuneful and are sung In a way to
plnase.
Maybelle Baker, as the widow, has
an excellent song In "If I Were on the
Stage." Jack Wise, as Joshua Piker,
had to sing "The Oceana Roll" four
times. Carlton Chase, a young man with
a stock of good looks and some voice,
sang pleasantly "Put Tour Arms Around
Me, Honey." A concerted number .that
was applauded waa "I'd Like to Fur
nish a Flat for You." sung by Messrs
Allen. Vack and Van Pelt and Misses
Baker, Sutherland and Guild. Edward
S. Allen as Count De Goldstein, an old
clothes peddler masquerading as an
Italian nobleman, and Frank Vack as
Baron Von Schuitx furnished the com
edy of the piece.
BRIDGE FIGHT REVIVES
'County to Ask Government to En
force Two-Hour Closed Periods.
County Judge Cleeton announced yes
terday that the County Court will re
new Its efforts to have tha War De
partment allow the bridge draws to be
clased two full hours In the morning
and the came length of time in the
evening. The reason given is that the
rlvermen have managed to nullify the
present regulations to a great extent,
by design, the Commissioners believe.
They declare that one captain said
that he would show the County Com
missioners that they could not keep
the draws closed.
The County Court also sent a letter
to C. J. Franklin, of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, asking
him to file complaints If he discovers
that the-bridge tenders are lax In ob
serving the closed periods. The Com
missioners, the communication sets
forth, are ready to assist in the prose
cution of employes found remiss In
their duty. This letter was In answer
to one from Mr. Franklin, In which he
called attention to the fact .that the
draws. In many Instances, have been
open longer than they have been closed
In the closed periods.
"As the regulations are at present."
said Judge Cleeton, "ocean-going ves
sels are entitled to passage through
the draws at any time. They cause
considerable trouble, but the greatest
trouble Is caused by the tugs and river
boats. It seems they aim to get to one
of the bridges Just before a closed
period commences, and If they get
through one draw they are entitled to
get through all. After passing one
bridge they "poke" along between the
others, keeping the draws open much
longer than necessary. Complaints
have been pouring In on us as a result."
The question of changing the regu
lations again will be taken up with the
War Department through the Oregon
delegation In Congress. ,
OREGOIMIAIM WANTS -WIDOW
W. E. miller, of -Beaverton, Writes
to Santa Monica for One of 250.
SANTA MONICA. Cal., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Campaigning for the office of
City Treasurer seems to be the least
of Chief of PMice Baretto's troubles
these days. He received today the
third letter regarding the 250 widows
reported to be In Santa Monica. This
letter was from W. E. HllUer, of Beav-
erton. Or., and he Is even more explicit
bout himself and more particular
about the widows than the other two.
In the letter he asked Baretto what
kind of widows they were. He said
that he wanted to get one. but she must
be between 40 and 60 years and unen
cumbered. HllUer heard of Santa
Monica through the colums of a Los
Angeles paper. He Informed Baretto
that he was good looking and well-to-do.
Baretto said tonight that he thought
the only way out of the trouble would
he to appeal to the widowa in Santa
Monica to inform him aa to what they
were looking for In the way of hus
