Woodrow Wilson apparently will not have a walk-away in obtaining; the Oregon preference for Democratic nom ination for President. While Multno mah County went strong- for Governor Wilson several of the other counties gave Champ Clark heavy pluralities. The result I that on the face of the Incomplete returns Governor Wilson Is leading his opponent by les than 10V0 votes In a total rount of 13.410. This total probably represents two-thirds of the Democratic vote cast In the state. - On the Democratic ticket the count Is cot so complete In Multnomah County as It Is on the Republican ticket, so there Is little prospect that Wilson's plurality will be materially reduced by the official returns. Multnomah will probably offset much that Clark gains up-state. The figures available five the following: Wilson S37. Clark 5433, Harmon 50. Wl'son'a plurality S4.

The modest traveler, like oursolvea, soon discovers that It Is not the sandy plain of his schood days.

These dune begin to move, according to another scientific observer, as soon as a light breeze blows: the air Is per ceptibly charged with sand In a mod erate brewe: and during- storms their progress may be nearly two Inches an hour, while their average advance Is 5o feet a year.

Tb North Ger man Lloyd Steamship Company has Is sued the following statement after hav ing; taken under advisement the testi mony of Harry S.

"We sent the C. Q. 13.." said Bride, "and the Frankfurt answered. We sent our position and the Frankfurt replied: 'Stand by." 'About 20 minutes later the Frank furt asked. 'What's the matterr We answered: 'You're a fool, stand off and don't Interfere.' " Bride went on to testify that they had asked for the position of the Frankfurt and that the only answer was "Stand by." Bride also testified that responses came from other steam ers. Including the Carpathla. Because of the relative strength of the messages. Bride said, Phillips, the chief wireless operator on the Titanic, who waa at the key, decided that the Frankfurt was nearer to the Titanic than the Carpathla, The statement by the Frankfurt commander.

Ambassador Jus serand told the Michigan Senator that he called to express his gratification at what had been accomplished by the Investigation and to make assurances of the desire of the French government to co-operate In Improving conditions at sea. The Ambassador asked for any sug gestions looking toward an immedi ate Improvement In the protection of passengers. Suggestions were maae oy Senator Smith. These were that every ship not only should be equipped with wireless, but that every ship should have two operators, one constantly on dutv. The other suggestion was that there should be additional life-saving equipment on board ocean liners. In cluding lifeboat accommodations for every passenger. No Objection Manifest. - Senator Smith said yesterday that no notice or intimation either from offi cials or members of the crew of ob jection to the committee's course had reached him.

"We saw Colonel Astor place Mrs. Astor in a boat and .assure her that he would follow later," said Mrs. Hlp pach. "He turned to us with a smile and said: 'Ladies you are next.'

Louise Rand BT LEONE CASS BAER. JUST before the last curtain of "A Night Out" May Robson stepped out from the other players and bade the audience which had listened in at tentive delight to the three acts of her charming; play the nicest sort of a pood bye. She did it in poetry real poetry and not a mere rhymlns; of words. It the verse was a homily on Btayinft young the sort of advice that should b. pasted in every man's hat and in the corner of every wom an's mirror. Miss Robson preaches it not only in the goodbye verse, but throughout the play. "A Night Out" is a regular orgie of humor. At times It's only gentle quiet humor, then asraln It transcends all bounds and the audi ence stops the action of the perform ance to testify in smiles rl?ht out loud. Miss Robson is jointly responsible for the play. With C. T. Daxey she origin ated its plot and gave it plenty of clever dialogue. And she did not give all the best lines to May Robson. In stead she carefully passed them around so that every member of her company ahares equally in the repartee. Maybe that's one reason they all work in such evident harmony. Naturally Miss Robson has the big rose. It's reminiscent in the very faint est way of that other dear old stage lady who was created by Miss Rob son. "Aunt Mary," who became re juvenated. Gran'mum in her present play is a grandmotherly "Aunt Mary." Miss Robson gives an exquisite etching of that rarest kind of woman, a young old, broad-minded, unaffected woman who has an acutely developed sense of humor. In fact, her sense of humor Is so keen it borders close onto that other quality a fine understanding of the ridiculous. She gets lots of fun out of life and all the queer folk it throws her amongst does gran'mum. A Jump in the cogwheels of heredity has given gran'mum a daughter with a New England conscience, a face that Is afraid to smile and the passions of a Chinook salmon. In turn this iceberg woman has brought Into the world two sons, rolicklng, care-free. Joyous chaps, their gran'mum all over. In these two boys the old lady finds kindred spirits and aids and abets them in their inno cent untying- of their mother's apron strings. In her desire to be their "pal" she gets them to take her for "a night out." This, as might be inferred from the title, is the nucleus of the comedy. Gran'mum takes a prominent part In a raid that Is made on one of the shady dives, where the boys take her for a midnight supper, and only by' bribing the attendants do the trio escape. Gran'mum loses her brooch, the boys names are known and the scandal comes out in. the papers. Naturally there is a love story two of "em m fact for each boy has a sweetheart and for awhile matters are certainly not a comedy only for the audience. ' There's a real heart-throbby sort of storm in It. too when gran'mum misses money and is told that her "boys" have stolen it to gamble. This gives Miss Robson opportunity to de light us with that fund of spontanlety and delicate clean-cut humor: and the brilliant thrilling pathos which has made her acting famous. As (tran'mura she expresses it convincingly and withal so delightfully that the play grows steadily on one. In her present role she has the bpyrlsbt Bar., ScfaaAer ft Mais youthful blush and fragrance pf a Car oline Testout, though she buys silvered puffs to add to her own gray locks and owns proudly to being maternal gran'mum to two lads old enough to wed. She is a constant preachment on happiness, and adjusts everybody's viewpoint to her own before her last little goodbye speech. It's the sort of a play you can see more than once and still find new 'joys tucked somewhere. An excellent support is in attendance A-t-an'miim 'The two erandsoDS. "Jack and Paul, are given spirited. youthful impersonations Dy jacK Storey and Paul Decker, not a mere coincidence of given names either, since Miss Robson helped write the play and named those characters to go with her. already selected cast. Edith Conrad's portrayal of the se verely Puritanical daughter of gran' mum, and mother to the boys, was a gem of acting. A well sustained bit as a shipsnod and garrulous neighbor with a pen chant for gossip was given natural in terpretation by Lotta Blake. John Rowe. " as the gardener, old and im posed upon by the fun-loving boys, gave a quaintly humorous and thor oughly fine contribution. A Portland girl, Faye Cusick, made a charming Betty, the sweetheart of Jack. A half dozen more characters helped ably to bring out the comedy. It is beautifully staged. "A Night Out" stays at the Heilig tomorrow night, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights with a Saturday matinee. On Wednesday, at a matinee and night performance, and on Friday night, "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary," will be given. "THE SPOILERS."

The real beauty and thrilling inci dents of Rex Beach's story of "The Spoilers" was brought out vividly by the enactment given it by the Baker stock company, the opening perform ance being at yesterday's matinee. Heretofore Portland ha had this play once or twice put on by traveling com panies, and in point ot actual merit the visiting organizations have offered most inferior productions in comparison with the splendid work of" the Baker force. , ,' Invariably these plays of the open life of men with red blood In -their veins of brave women, of the exciting early' days of the gold fever, and par ticularly of the neighboring land of the Northfolk, exert the greatest Influence for compelling interest and holding warm sympathy for all of us of the West. East of the Rocky Mountains they may feel differently about it, but certain sure it Is these strong, virile plays make a positive appeal. In "The Spoilers" the plot is woven with remarkable Ingenuity and the characters are of flesh and blood crea tion and not mere experiments of the author's Imagination. There's a half-dozen meaty stories, each with a separate and distinct theme, and each in itself of enough stability to make as many . individual plays. Briefly told, the main story tells the machinations of an Eastern con cern of swindlers to gain unlawful control of the Midas mine, a rich hold ing of Roy Glenister and Joe Dextrys. A niece of the Federal Judge is the heroine, who unwittingly brings Glen ister a great deal of trouble with the other miners, and is herself made the Headquarters for John B. Stetson Hats $4 to $10 Soft and Derby target for censure and insults becaust of her ambiguous position in the camp, but who later saves Glenister's life and is the means of returning the mines to their several owners and ending th trouble in general. The action is decidedly rapid an never for one instant lags.
