ACTRESS REALLY
LOSES DIAMONDS
Real Thief Robs Amy Butler of
Real $10,000 Worth of
Real Sparklers.
REAL DETECTIVES CALLED
Valuable Disappear lYom Orphenm
Player's Hotel Room Owner
Fears People Won't Believe
Story Because She's on Stage.
Diamonds valued at 110.000 were
stolen yesterday from a room in the
Alder Hotel. Fourth and Alder streets,
occupied by Miss Amy Butler. How'd
you guess It? Yes. Miss Butler is an
actress, playing In a eklt at the Or
pheum this week.
But the remarkable feature of the
rase Is that it's all true. The press agent
sy B.tlert Actress, Victim mt
S10.O4W Uiamoad Robber
bridled at the suggestion that he was
responsible for so frayed a yarn; the
theater manager held up his hands and
remarked, "(let a new one: that diamond
robbery was dead 20 years ago." but
Miss Butler didn't smile.
It seems that, although Miss Butler
admits she Is an uetr-ss and that part
of the professional duties of an actress
Is to have her Jewels stolen In every
metropolis where city editors will stand
for It. llO.inKi worth of real dia
monds were taken from her room by
a real thief and real detectives are now
making real efforta to rapture the real
thief and restore the real diamonds to
the real actress. Sounds like fiction,
but it's fact.
Immediately on discovering the loss,
Misa Butler, accompanied by her
brother. Uw Butler, went to detective
headquarters and laid the facts before
Detectives Day and Hyde. At the sug
gestion of the woman. Superintendent
Holmes, of the Plnkerton agency, was
railed tn and Is working with the city
officers on the search for the gems.
Deetlvee rut t'asr.
Coming two days after the successful
hunt for diamonds of nearly an equal
value, stolen by a Chinese boy from
Miss Pearl Linden and restored to her
Sunday, by the same detectives who
are engaged on the present case, the co
Incidence has aroused muc h comment.
Miss Butler last saw her diamonds
Monday night, when she consigned
them to their usual place in a pocket
of an underskirt, which remained hang
ing In her room from that time till
after noon yesterday, when she went
to take It down and observed that it
mas much lighter. Daring the night
and after the hotel employes cleaned
the room, early yesterday, the doors to
Miss Butler's rooms and to her
brother's, which adjoins, were locked
and the keys were In the. locks. It is
believed that, while the burglar might
have turned the key with pliers, he
would not have taken the trouble to
go through the same difficult opera
tion to lock the door again from the
ou'slde.
Ths detectives started with absolute
ly no clew and are at a loss to figure
out how the gems could have disap
peared. Miss Butler is positive thst the
diamonds were tn the room Monday
night and that she had not taken them
out from thai time till she discovered
the loss, yesterday afternoon. She Im
mediately called ner brother, but he
was unable to otter any suggestion.
Dlaawsdi Warth lu.OOO.
"I Just lost my diamonds, worth
nearly 1 10.000, and that Is all there is
about It." said Miss Butler. "Except
for on slight suspicion which may be
of value, and may not. t have no notion
how they disappeared. Of course. I
can't tell you what that suspicion Is
till It Is worked out.
"Please, please, don't say that they
were lost by an actress." she continued.
"You know how that will be: every
one will smile and say it Is the old
game again, and If you let it be known
that one In the theatrical business Is
the loser. I never shall get my diamonds
bark again."
Nearly everyone connected with the
Investigation waa struck by the Idea
that It was In truth the old game."
but as the little woman went on with
her story. nd showed plainly that aha
wished to keep her profession In tha
background, their views changed. De

KAY EXPLAINS TAX LEVY
Stale Treasurer Denies Any DlMTim
inatiou. SALEM. Or.. March . (Special.)
j Numerous inquiries which have poured
. Into the State Board of Tax Commis
sioners and the State Treasurer's of
fice as to the high taxes and the ap
parently varying levy In the different
counties for state taxes, brought forth
a statement from Treasurer Kay to
day in explanation of these matters.
"The state tax levy for 1912 is 3.44
mills." said the State Treasurer. "But
In many countiaa it is found that the
state levy will run from four mills
up to five mills or even more and the
people of these counties are at a loss
to understand this condition.
"It Is easily explained, however, and
the counties are not discriminated
against because of this apparent dis
crepancy. The state board in making
Its equalization always Increases the
assnesed valuation of the assessors
rather than cut It down.
"Take a concrete Instance. For an
example, one county sent in an as
sessed valuation of 110.000,000. The
board might find it necessary. in
equalising, to Increase that valuation
to 112.000.000. Consequently it would
be necessary for that county to make
the levy in the specific instance on
the ratio of S.44 mills to the ratio be
tween 110.000.000 and 112.000.000. Thus
the levy might be apparently larsrer.
but the actual state taxes paid by that
county would be no more than if a
levy of 3.44 mills was made against the
smaller figure.
"We are also constantly bombarded
with queries as to how the State Board
reaches the equalized value. The
board, through ita various agents and
clerks, secures data from all the coun
ties in the state as to actual land sales.
These sales are run down through rec
ords and actual considerations shown
In deeds and conveyances.
"When we secure these results we
take the figures of the County Asses
sor and compare them to the actual
value of the lands and equalize ac
cordingly. The hoard last time equal
ized on practically a TO per cent basis
of the actual cash valuation."
HINDU RIOTS CASE ENDED
Court Qua.-lies Indictment, of ex
Mayor lleudricks of St. John-.
tne of the last chapters was added
yesterday to the history of the famous
St. Johns riots against Hindus, which
occurred In the Spring of 1910. when
Presiding Judge HavanauKh. on motion
of District Attorney Cameron, dis
missed the indictment attainst J. F.
Hendricks, then Mayor of St. Johns,
whlrh Indictment grew out of the
trouble. Mr. Hendricks was accused
of having neglected to use his au
thority as an officer to quell the riots,
the specific allegation belnpf that he
made no attempt to Interfere in behalf
of the Hindu laborers attacked.
Hendricks was Indicted by the county
grand Jury of April, 191(1. Those
named in the Indictment as leaders
of the riots. which had for their
object the ridding of St. Johns of
Hindu laborers, were Gordon Dickey,
Kav Van de Bog.ird. John X. Groves.
John Hess. Milton L'ncer and Frank
Jones. Dickey was singled out as the
ringleader and was indicted and con-
victcl. the trial bemir held before

for a new trial was overruled recently

maie strong efforts to obtain a parole
and were successful. Dickey was
paroled and ordered to report at regular
Intervals to probation orricer vt nue.
He Is now working In Eastern Orenon.
Dan J. Malarkey. who was employed
as special prosecutor by the British
Government, which demanded the
punishment of the rioters, the Hindus
being British subjects, said last night
that the reason Hendricks had never
been brought to trial was because of a
feeling on the part of the prosecution
that a conviction could not be obtained.
TAFT CAMPAIGN TO START
Clnckanias County Republicans Will
Hold Blc Kally.
OREGON" CITY. Or.. March 5. (Spe
cial.) Chairman Stipp. of the county
central committee, announced today
that the big Republican rally to start
the campaign for President Taft In
this county would be held on March 1
at Shlvely's Opera-house. C. W. Ful
ton. ex-L'nlted States Senator, and C. M.
Idleman probably will be the speakers.
The plan Is to invite the Republicans
of Clackamas County to Join with those
of Oregon City in working for the in
terest of Mr. Taft. While the senti
ment in Clackamas County Is over
whelmingly for Mr. Taft, it is thought
best to organize a committee to carry
on the campaign. Even amonj the
Republicans who are friendly to Colo
nel Roosevelt, it is felt that the ex
I'resident should not be a candidate
this year.
Among the Republicans who will take
an active part in the meeting are W. J.
Wilson. J. F. Albright, E. L. Johnson.
M. E. Dunn, William Sheahan. W. A.
Huntley. C. G. Huntley, B. T. Mi-Bain.

essily get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Tbe Time It Take a Mee nicer to Get
Smart's Oy-spepela Tablet Seems

attended the luncheon and in short
speeches put the matter before the
Kotarians, inviting their co-operation.
Several of the members of the club
notified ihe committee after the close
of the meeting that they desired res
ervations on the first train. The San
Francisco Rotary Club is preparing a
special entertainment for Kotarians in
the Oregon delegation.
V. C McClure, took charge of the
meeting after the business session, and
introduced John C. McCourt, United
States District Attorney, who outlined
the work the Government is doing to
combat the "white slave" traffic. Mr.
McCourt showed that the Government
could deal with only those cases in
which white slaves were transported
from one state to another or wire re
they were brought to the I'nited States
from other countries. A more sinister
and larger system of white slavery, lie
declared, exists within the states
themselves and since It does not cross
the state borders is not within the
Federal jurisdiction. The state laws
are. however, he said, sufficient to
eradicate this evil, if they are thorough
ly enforced.
"The attitude of the general public."
he said, "will be the chief factor in
the fight to root out the white slave
traffic. It has grown up and flourished
because of public Indifference. Once
public interest is thoroughly aroused
and directed against it, the problem
will be quickly solved. The interest
the commercial organizations and other
bodies are showing, by having this
question discussed, as you are doing
today, is a good sign, for It indicates
a healthy awakening of public senti
ment against a practice to which we
have been too indifferent In the past."

THE ANGELUS supplies all the technical skill and with
rreater certainty than any living pianist. You simply direct
The performance, like an orchestra leader, devoting every
faculty to artistic rendering. The-instrument is absolutely
obedient to your will. It plays your interpretation of
Beethoven's Sonatas or Brahm's Hungarian Dances, and

song, it is ready to respond.
The unique "efficiency" of THE ANGELUS is due to a
number of wonderful devices for controlling tempo, tone
and expression.
THE PHRASING LEVER, a most important and
valuable device, which enables the performer to retard
or accelerate tempo in the most delicate degrees.

the melody to ring out clear and distinct above the
accompanying notes.
THE ARTISTYLE MUSIC ROLLS, which have
one single line which indicates all variations of tone
or tempo intended by the composer.

WILL BE HELD THIS EVEN'IXG.
Malini. Wonderful Magician, to En
tertain Members With Many
Keats of Sleight-of-Hand.
The first of the monthly smokers, in
troduced by the new administration of
the Commercial Club to develop the so
cial side of tho club's activities, will
be held tonight. The house commit
tee John Annand, John H. Buricard
and T. N. Stoppenbach. who have charge
of the programme, have arranged for
musical entertainment and have ob
tained as the crowning feature. Malini,
the magician, who is regarded as one
of the most skillful sleight-of-hand
performers in the world. Mr. Malini
appeared in Portland last week with
credentials from the leading people in
nearly every one of the civilized
countries of the world, and. visiting the
Portland Tress Club, mystified its
members with many tricks, probably
the most bewildering ever seen in this
city.
Since that time he has given pro
grammes before other clubs and asso
ciations of Portland, and his marvelous
powers have become a topic of inter
ested conversation in business and so
cial circles.
Mr. Malini has not announced his
programme for tonight, but his promise
that he will give the members of the
Commercial Club the best tricks that he
can perform in an entertainment, con
tinuing from o'clock to 10, is suffi
cient to indicate that a wonderful treat
is In store for all, for Mr. Malini does
not repeat a trick after he has once
performed it, and it seems that each
feat he achieved is more bewildering
and remarkable than any that preced
ed it.

Valuable Information

Plain Explanation f Xnr Sciem-e of Health
Protection.
According to Herbert Kaufman, the great
editorial writer, Science was never so pro
gressive an now In difcoveries fnr preventing
and checking disease. He states in a recent
editorial that any day we may be given a
cure for the most terrible of maladies.
Everyone, with this statement in view,
owes it to htmself and family to be up with
the times to be abrt-ast of the new science
by informing himself of the benefits of new
discoveries.
The latest and greatest discovery was
made at the University of Minnesota, by its
profpseor of chemistry, Carel. who haa pro
duced a powerful yet non-poisonons germ
killing chemical known a "BKNETOL." By
the use of Benetol every one can have absolute-
protection from infections diseases.
It is your duty to go at once and secure
from the Hkidmore Drug Co.. 151 Third st..

ance of the hearing: of the anti-trust
indictments brought against officers of
seven steamship, railroad and wharf
companies, which are alleged to have
obtained a monopoly of the whart
and transportation facilities at Skag
way, Alaska. The hearing was set for
March 20, when the defendants will de
mur against the indictments. Most of

TENDENCY OF
THE TIMES
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world Is being- given to
the subject. It Is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi
cal men have to contend with,' can na
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re
sults from a cold or from an attack of
influenza, (grip), and it has been ob
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency- of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during tha
great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied on with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it ts sud
denly discovered that there is fever and
difficulty In breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe
side and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy , as soon as the cold is con
tracted. It always cures.
