The return of Margaret Anglin to Portland at the Hellig Theater, this tvening for an engagement of two nights with a matinee tomorrow, should I'O a delight to all lovers of fine acting, for she is justly regarded as one of the few great actresses of whom the American stage can boast. It is some two years since Portland theater-goers last saw her In the dramatization of Mrs. Peland s fine story. "The Awaken ing of Helena Richie." Miss Anglln and her colleagues will be seen In a new and original (and report say decidedly clever) comedy, ertitled "Green Stockings." by A. E. W. M ison. sn English playwright, novelist and member of Parliament. The comedy has recently concluded a splendid run of over three monflis st the Elliott Theater in New York, where it was hailed as a delightful enter tainment, and one of the best specimens of what Is known as high comedy, to distinguish it from the slap-stick methods of latter-day low comedy. From advance reports It would seem thai those who were loth to concede to Margaret Anglln the ability to suc cessfully assume a light comedy role, are doomed to agreeable disappoint ment, for. if we are to believe the com mentators of things dramatic, the dia tlngulshed actress finds herself as much at home In the business of exciting leushter as she Is In drawing tears. And so we may look forward with feelings of pleasure to seeing Mar garet Anglln as Celia Faraday, the eldest of four daughters, all of whom are married, or about to be married, except poor Celia, who. by a singular perversity or fate, is by Jar the most sltraetlve of them all. tfeing an English girl, she was com pt lel to follow the old English custom of wearing srfrn stockings at the wed -dipt: of two of her sisters, and It looks a though she might soon have tj purchase a third pair. But no. Rather than do that, Celia will Invent a nance of her own, and so she does. She tells, that she la engaged to a Colonel Smith, who has gone off to Africa to the war, and then, to get rid of the Irksomenesa of the unknown, sh. kills him off by Inserting a para graph in a daily paper, announcing his death In battle. A real Colonel Smith then appears, who. having heard o the Invention, comes to see what It Is all about, and then Cella's troubles begin and continue through three acts of excellent fun. H.

A IF.000 bond mi filed with Sheriff Burns today by the owners of th steamer General Hubbard, that was libelled yesterday for $1600 by John F.

Republican Elected on Democratic Committee and Democrats on Republican Many Precincts Choose Same Man. Many Republicans have been elected members of the Democratic county cen tral committee. Democrats have been chosen members of the Republican cen tral committee, and many Democrats have been named for precincts other than their own. according to a certified list of the committeemen made up yes terday by County Clerk Fields after flipping a coin to decide ties ln many precincts. Several Democrats and Republicans were elected two or three times from different precincts and by both parties. The Republican central committee is not in quite so chaotic a condition, but duplications have occurred. Mr. Fields has taken the position that he should certify the names of the men elected or winning the toss, without regard to whether they belong to the party which selected them or their residence in the precinct by the voters of which they have been named. Few sea Printed oa Ballot. A multitude of names were written in. Practically every prominent Re publican and Democrat received con sideration. The trouble arose from the fact that few party workers filed for the office of committeemen and had their names printed on the ballot. T. J. Kreuder. candidate for the Re publican nomination for County Com missioner, has been certified as Demo cratic central committeeman ln two precincts; J. H. No It a, who won a Re publican, nomination for the Legisla ture, in one precinct: H. B. .Van Duzer, chairman of the Democratic county committee. In four precincts, and H. M. Esterly, an attorney of Democratic faith, won ln several precincts. Others who won as members of the Democratic committee in more than one precinct are George I. Smith, president of the Jackson Club: Tom Sweeney, who tried to get the Republican nomi nation for County Commissioner; Alex Sweek. ex-chairman of the Democratic state central committee; Dan McAlien, who waa a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for County Commis sioner, and John Montag. Among the Republicans whose names were written ln by Democrats ln one or more precincts were county torn- mlssloner Llghtner. K. K. Kubll. J. T. Ellis. Additional Market Inspector Singler. Fred A. Frischkorn and Ed ward Gloss. In many precincts no votes were cast for the office. Xante Spelled Iaeorreetly. How the Democrats will be able to perfect organisation of their committee and put it In working conditions under the circumstances Is a mystery. One question will be the right of admit tance of Republicans who have been elected to the committee. Among others F. C. Whitten. Democratic Con gressional committeeman, has been elected several times. In many in stances only -last names were used, and often the names were spelled Incorrect ly and Incorrect initials were used. Prominent Democrats wno receiven votes for Republican committeemen in clude H. M. Esterly. D. M. Watson. H. B. Van Duxer and William Neville. Like the Democrats, few Republicans voted for precinct committeeman, and hose who did as often as otherwise voted for men not residing ln the pre cinct. "William Hanly. the "sage or Oregon." received several votes. In many cases the prefix "Mr." was used nstead of the Initials, and some so designated have been elected. FEMALE PRISONERS WAIL Women at City Jail Keeps Matron Busy Condoling.
