4 HEBQ DIES TRIG 10 RESCUE UN Man and Wife Escape; Woman Companion Is Lost in Turbid Waters. WiSHKAH SCENE OF EVENT Sirs. Moller, of Milwaukee, Loses Life Charles Bears, Bicyclist, Ar rives on Scene and Immediately Plunges Into Stream. HOQUIAM. Wash.. July 29. (Spe cial.) Drowning claimed three victims In Chehalls county Monday. One was a woman recently from Milwaukee, an other a stranger who attempted to save her, in the Wishkah River near Aberdeen, and the third was a logger who got beyond his depth in the ocean at Co pal las. Mrs. Moller, of Milwaukee, was drowned when a team with which she was driving with relatives backed into the Wishkah River. She came to Aber deea three days ago to visit her daugh ter, Mrs. J. E. Cheesbrough. Gallant Effort Falls A dramatic feature In connection with the drowning of Mrs. Moller was the heroic act of a young man named Bears, and a stranger to all of the parties to the accident With abso lutely no thought of his own dan ger. Bears, who had arrived on the scene in time to see the woman strug Bling for life in the water, rushed to the rescue. Casting aside a portion of his cloth ing, he Jumped Into the water and gal lantly strove to save the drowning wo man.' But the young hero had over estlmtaed his strength and after a heroic struggle sank in the swift cur rent and was not seen to rise again. No more notable case of heroism has ever been noted in this section where rescues from drowning are of not in frequent occurrence. Team Backed lata River. Today the family and Mrs. Letter- man, Mr. Cheesbrough's mother, went for a drive up the river about two miles out of the city and at a narrou place ill iiio rvuu iucj me, ii.ui.it. team. Mr. Cheesbrough alighted to hold his team, but the horses became unmanageable and backed into the river. Mrs. Cheesbrough sprang from the vehicle before it reached the water and Mrs. Letterman was rescued from the river, but Mrs. Moller was caught In the vehicle and could not free her self. It was impossible to reach her and she was carried out with the rig. Just after the accident occurred, Charles Bears, said to have been from Shelton, but a stranger, rode up on his bicycle. Seeing the woman in tne water, he Jerked off part of his cloth ing and plunged Into the river, but after taking a few strokes sank and was not seen again. Bears' body has not been recovered. Mrs. Moller's body was recovered and for nearly two hours attempts were made to revive her, but without avail. The team was drowned also. Logger Drowned at Copalls Andrew Jacobsen. a logger, with two companions went in swimming at Co palis Beach this afternoon. He got be yond his depth and the out-going tide carried him out. His body was recov ered in about half an hour, but at tempts to revive him failed. This is the first case of drowning on - the ocean beach In several years.

Their canoe overturned by the swells of a passing motorboat, Paul Gordon and another young man. whose identity has not yet been established, were drowned this afternoon in Lake Washington. Though searching parties have been dragging in the vicinity for several hours in St) feet of water, the body of neither has been recevored. The two young men had rented a canoe and were paddling close to the shore when the swells struck them broadside. S. E. Pierce, of the Wash ington Natatorlum, happened to be passing In an automobile on shore when he noticed the upturned canoe. Answer ing the calls for help, he swam to the scene, but was too late. The bodies had disappeared. Pierce immediately returned to shore and. Jumping Into his machine, hurried to the campus of the State University, where he obtained a pulmotor from the Mine Rescue station. No trace of the bodies had been found when he re turned. 5 SAVED FROM DROWNING Seattle Ing Captain Rescues Women and Children at Ballard. SEATTLE. Wash, July 29. (Special.) Captain O.

Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen. the Danish arctic ex plorer and the Engineer Inversen. who were rescued July 17. on the coast of Greenland by a Norwegian fishing ves sel, after having spent more than two years in that region, looked like wild animals when their rescuers found them. They had spent the previous Winter at Bass Rock Island, not Sham rock Rock, as previously announced, and it was there the Norwegians came upon them la a cabin, they had built. The fishermen knocked on the door and Mikkelsen and his companion rush ed out nearly naked, with guns in their hands under the impression that the knocking was caused by beasts of prey. Mikkelsen had been very ill on the long Journey to Bass Rock Island and Inversen had dragged him a hundred miles on a sledge. Fortunately, the men had enough ammunition to enable them at all times to procure food. - Lewis County Candidates File. CENTRALIA. Wash.. July 29. (Spe cial.)

Countess of Roxwell Miss Adams Ladys Gladys Foxwell.Miss Langford Ladv Glynn Miss Edgett Mary Ann, Cathrine Countlss Dick By Himself Howard Nell McKlnnon THAT charming, romantic comedy, "Merely Mary Ann," was given an entirely new treatment Sunday night by Cathrine Countlss, in the title role, Mary Ann the, humble, the smut faced and kindly, has visited us before this but new side-lights in her character were revealed by Miss Countiss. Her Many Ann was a composite of all the good Mary Anns given before. Miss Countiss never is any actress other than herself. In that she never copies a role, no matter how strongly Identified it has become with the star who created it. This is an art and be speaks her individuality. Particularly difficult is It too, to Keep zrom evi dencing an unconscious assimilation of another's portrayal of the role. Miss. Countiss has probably seen Eleanor Robson as Mary Ann, but her acting Is in no way a copy of it. The charm of the Countiss personality, the little way not trick she has of catching her breath, or of letting her eyes run faster in expression than her tongue in her chatter, and the melody of her voice, all make this newest Mary Ann distinctive. So ably does Miss Countiss work, that one forgets it is she forgets the actress the woman ana sees only tne poor, tired little slavey or Mrs. Lead batter's London lodging house. Oh! the miles the weary little maid walked, up stairs, and down stairs, and m my lady's chamber." the countless errands did, the dozens of boots polished, the candles lighted meals served. She seemed, in the one performance last night, to have been carrying burdens all her life. Miss Countlss" portrayal seemed never to have been anything but Mary Ann, from the time of creation. It was as if she had truly, as she said, never known anything else. Spectators grew teary when the poor, rough, worK- hardened little hands kept putting themselves into gloves. And her grate fulness for an occasional kind word brought one to almost a maudlin state of weeping. The big thing in giving a Mary Ann to an audience must be, in the very nature of the role, the art of com pelling love of the character while she is still a dirty, awkward uncultured lit-- tie worKer. It Is easy enough to ad mire her when she escapes the cocoon and becomes the lovely, brilliant Mar ian, and enjoys all the emoluments that go with the fairy like gift left her. But Miss Countlss makes the big white soul of the girl, shine out of her lowliest menial act. She brings out the lovableness, the wholesomeness. and above all, the cheery optimism of Mary Ann, so that everyone loved her. That the Idealistic and tempermental composer Lancelot, came finally to love her, was a matter of course. One's on ly resentment was that he had not seen tutored. For her smutty face and poor tired hands we want her beloved tired - hands we want her be-loved earlier. But Zangwill knew his play construction business, and it isn't un til she has metamorphosed into a reg ular girl, that the musician feels he need her. Which is always the way of men. Miss Countiss is admirably supported by every individual in the play. Each seems to have played his or her part before. Sidney Aryes is the composer. He is the physical counterpart of all the role requires, handsome, a dreamer. impetuous and charming enough in personality, to awake more than mere fancy in the heart or any poor little Mary Ann. Henry Hall Is capable as Peter, the friend who sells tea by day and writes tunes at night. Two very excellent characterizations are the types of lod gers, one by Robert Lawler as a Jour nalist, and the other by Charles Schad, as a medical student. These characters Introduced as lodg ers returning at night, are mighty well done. Roy Clements occasions decor ous hilarity as the vicar, who Indulges unwittingly in intoxicants under the impression it is soda-water. J. Frank Burke is a German publisher of music. and talks with a rich bur-r-r. All of itself, in a class of merit is John Liv ingstone's motoring English Lord. whose chauffer, like atmosphere, is comedy in plenty. Neil McKlnnon is a fascinating footman with aristocratic legs and hand-painted eyes. Of the women, Laura Adams deserves great credit for her lodging-house keeper. Fat, unhampered by stays, frousy of head and loud of voice, she gesticulates n a manner that is positively uncanny n its naturalness to those who know this type of landlady. Claire SInclaire s her daughter, Rosie, appeared in wonderful clothes, a disciple of Laura Jean Libby's cult, and punctured each word with a giggle. Lovely Mary Edgett, looking sylph-Uke in a gown of palest rose, is a lady of title, who comes on in the last act -and amongst other pleasant tearoom accomplishments, sings beautifully "A Perfect Day." There's a real canary, and he sings, or some one does it for him. The settings of the four scenes are quite in keeping with the story, and reminiscent in their appointments of Dickens' description of quarters in old inns, so typically English is it all. The ast act. In the drawing-room of Maid Marian's manor, is decidedly handsome. Going back to the play, its the best, quite the best thing of the three Miss Countiss has given. It's art, fine and positive, and Miss Countiss is an artist. 'Merely Mary Ann" will continue all week, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, FIRE LOSS $1010 Lodging House on Morrison Street Damaged.

The lod ging house was conducted by ' Mrs. Alice Hamot and Bertha Mason. The greater part of the damage Is in the rooming house, which was destroyed by fire and water entirely. Mrs. Ha mot, who is in charge of the finances of the rooming house, left for Seaside yesterday, but others connected with the place, estimated the damage a( about souuu in xurmture ana personal effects. The burned building, with the re mainder of the half block from Seventh street to the new building at Park and Morrison, was to have been torn town November 1, and the entire space given over to a ten or 12-story steel frame fireproof building., Nightwatchman Eddie Mahr, a spe cial policeman, was the first to see the blaze and turn in an alarm. The flames had burst through the roof and made so vivid a glow that persons in several lodging-houses nearby poured into the streets. Fifteen policemen on the sec ond night relief, under Captain Joseph Keller, cleared the streets for a block, and kept the crowd out of range of the fire apparatus. The firemen used a new terra cotta faced building at Park and Morrison streets as a base to work on the flames. The fireproof nature of this block. pre vented further spread of the fire, said Fire Chief Dowell, as most of the flame was on this side of the wooden build ing, and a slight wind was blowing In that direction. BARNS BULGING WITH HAY Tillamook Farmers Are Harvesting Bnmpcr Crops This Year. TILLAMOOK, Or., July 29. (Special.) There is another bumper hay crop In Tillamook County. So heavy was the crop In some meadows that the dairy men's barns were not large enough and farmers had to sell what they could not house to their neighbors who had larger barns. There Is a large acreage of oats which has a heavy growth, the recent rfctns keeping the crop wonderfully. The oats will all be cut and made into hay next month, and when this crop is harvested every cow barn in the county will be loaded to its full capacity with hay for Winter feed for the dairy herds. Apart from this there is an abund ance of green feed. There is one thing about the hay crop in Tillamook County, it never fails. With barns full of hay and abundance of other feed, the dairymen have nothing to trouble about on that score. Small fruits and vegetables have done well and cran berries look good for a fine crop this year. UNCLOTHED DANCER FINED Munich Court Decides Against Views of Artiste. BERLIN, July 27. (Special.) Mile. Villany, the classical dancer, was con demned at Munich to pay a fine of $7.50 or go to prison for six days, for dancing on the stage in no more elab orate toilette than that of Mother Eve. She was acquitted on the same charge a few months ago, and since then Munich has been in the throes of a controversy as to the propriety of the performances, which found its echo in the great organs of the -French press. As at the previous trial, a number of eminent painters and writers gave evi dence on behalf of Mile. Villany, and declared that her performances were inspired by supreme art; that they had taken wives and sisters to see her, and that the exhibition of the female form was elevating and spiritual. In spite of this the Crown Prose cutor, who was appealing against the previous decision, obtained a verdict, which the court based on the ground that though Mile. Villany's dance might be artistic, the exhibition of the un clothed body was not. Turkey's Men Fail Her. The Churchman. Sensational information in regard to the spread of degeneracy in the Otto man Empire has lately appeared in the Constantlnopolitan newspaper. The Hak. A Turkish doctor of medicine, Abdoullah DJvedet, contends that the population of Turkey is losing half a million a year. The facts have come out in connection with the examination of recruits for the army. Every por tion of the empire is affected, it seems,' by diseases which diminish the fertility of the race or lessen its physical qual ities. The conscripts are under height. Their limbs are attenuated and some times crooked. Turkish specialists who have lately traveled through the empire have noticed the misery of the inhabitants. One electoral district, that of Kutahia, has lost 6000 electors in. four years. Seven Candidates File In One Day. CENTRALIA. Wash.. July 29. (Spe cial.)

(Special.) Car dinal Logrue's speech at Maynooth this week has startled the country. It seems that the National University, al though Archbishop Walsh is its Chan cellor, does not enjoy the Roman Cath- alic Church's confidence In several im portant respects, and Cardinal Logue's utterance has left a distinct impression on the country that the National Uni versity as established is not regarded as a safe place for young Roman Cath olics. Cardinal Logue's remark that Trin lty College, Dublin, is still forbidden to Roman Catholics profoundly surprises Irish Protestants and profoundly dis appoints large numbers of the Roman Catholic laity. The episcopal ban on Dublin University was imposed many years ago as a protest against the ah sence of university provision for Roman Catholics. The Roman Catholic Church tacitly accepted the National University and said no word. Everybody assumed that with this acceptance the episcopal ban on Trinity College ceased to exist, and within the last few years many Roman Catholics have entered college and the number is increasing every day. Car dinal Logue now tells these- people that the old prohibition is still in full work ing, order. Irish Roman Catholics are forbidden to go to Trinity College and Cardinal Logue implies clearly that the National University is full of dangers for them. In other words, although there are now three universities in Ireland, the Roman Catholic youth of the country is little, if at all, better off than when there was only one. Question Far From Settled. The Irish University question is still .... Tt will nAVOr h RPttlftd Un til the Roman Catholic Church has driven a coach and four tnrougn Air.

The society states that the Irish party contains many warm supporters of the system, hut party decisions and tactical considera tions appear to prevent the expression of their individual views in Parliament. The Unionist members who desire the introduction of proportional represen tation appear to fear that the discus sion of the system might have the ef fect of making their opposition to Home Rule seem less whole-hearted or vigorous. The society urges that there is no security for minor-ny representa tion unless It Is based on election, and in Accorded to minorities as a right and not as a favor; further, it is doubted whether the provision for the use of the block vote in the multi-member constituencies created by the Home Rule Bill can stand. Tnis system, they say, will crush minorities instead of giving them representation. REGATTA RESTS SOCIETY OPEN'-AIR FCXCTIOXS RESTORE . JADED NERVES OF ELITE.

BLACK TROOPS USED France Pits Negroes Against Moroccan Pretender. SOUTHERN ARAB POWERFUL Military Geniuses Doubt Wisdom of Training African Natives In War Tactics Colored Legionaries Show Great Bravery. PARIS, July 27. (Special.) As Franco gets closer to grips with the Moroccan problem there are personal ities and conditions developing that would attract the attention of the world were the struggle elsewhere than in Africa. Although General Lyautey, the new French Resident, has enabled Mulai Hafld to seek retuge in Rabat, and his three brilliant military aides. General Gouraud, General Giradot and Colonel Largeau, are sweeping the northern territory with skill and persistence, a new Pretender, Mulal Hamed el Haiba, is attracting to this standard in the south thousands of fanatical tribes men. Black Troops Used. How is France to contend against the rising power of this Southern Arab? The answer is that she Is find ing her mainstay for Moroccan warfare in her black troops irom benegai. In the engagements of the last month these colored legionaries have shown extraordinary bravery, winning the nraise of seasoned officers. There are many Frenchmen of note who doubt the ultimate wisdom of tnus bringing the negroes into the Hush 01 military success. But for the present the black men are "saving the bacon" of the whites and rendering less press ing the problem of France's declining population as a source of anxiety to the military recruiting stations. But if France had to go to war with a Euro pean foe, would she use the Senegalese then? Would she pit the black regi ments against white men? That is the question many are asking, who foresee trouble in the future. Pretender Is Powerfnl. That the new Pretender has powers of leadership is evident from his prog ress. Indeed if he goes on at the pres ent rate Marrakesh must fall to him. He Is about 82 years of age, a rather stout, pure-bred Arab of middle height, he is strong-willed and aggressive, and though he now claims to be Sultan of Morocco he continues to live tne simple life of his followers and strictly adheres to the precepts of the Moslem faith. Those who know him declare he will give France Infinite trouble.

SEPARATE ROOMS URGED French Hospital Proposes to Segre gate Fatal Cases. PARIS. July 27. (Special.) At the last meeting of the Academy of Medi cine, the members discussed an innova tion about to be introduced in the new hospital at Lyons, which is to be the most perfect in the world, and, among other improvements, is to have sepa rate rooms for patients who are in a hopeless condition. - The eminent Professor Vidal, In reply to the celebrated accoucheur, M. Pin ard, who deplored that not a single hospital in France possessed any ac commodation ol tnis cescripuon. pro tested that his own clinic in. the Hospi tal Cochin provided patients with the last consolation or passing awav in separate chambers; but he strongly ob jected to such rooms being called "rooms for the dying." since those who were transferred thither from the wards were immediately conscious that they would never leave them. The real neeo for such special rooms was rather In the Interests of the other patients than of desperate cases, who were generally past caring about their surrounding. M. Le Mesureur. chief of the state hospitals, and M. Valllant agreed with Professor Vidal, and finally M. Plnard himself was forced to admit the use lessness of calling special Isolated rooms by any name referring to death. The discussion terminated with a reso lution that "measures should be taken so that patients should not be treated under circumstances compelling thein to suffer by witnessing the spectacle of sufferings and death," as is the case in wards containing 40 beds in the state hospital of the Assistance Puh ltque, where all that is done is to place a screen round the bed of the un fortunate moribund cases, so that those lying beside them may not see the end coming.
