NEW YORK, Aug. 26. Governor Wil
son spent -yesterday at the University
Club, resting from a week of activity
and preparing for a conference here
today. destined to have an lmpor-
wherever Miss Countiss begins to say
goodbye.
Last night's performance was a gala
one. The play was well and wisely
chosen, the cast fitted individually into
roles apparently destined for each, and
Miss Countiss was in the gayest and
most sparkling mood. As Georglana
she radiated and flashed flirtatious
eyes, wore pretty frocks and suf-f.e-r-e-d
jtist something terrible until
she learned through the kindly instru
mentality of the playwright and a de
layed telegram that her soldier lover
wasn't killed after 'all. V
Miss Countiss' Georgiana is human
without being sentimental. Her Inter
pretation is quite as one would sup
pose Clyde Fitch In his detailed study
of women had meant it to be played.
She was supreme in the role and her
portrayal is not to bo discounted com
pared with Elliott's ' supreme effort.
In "Her Own Way" there's food for
all conditions, classes and colors of
the theater-going. While the plot Is
neither big nor vital it Is absorbing
and general in interest and holds a
splendid lover who loves and rides
away because the lady is capricious;
there's a bad, bold, wicked villain who
plots and schemes for the lovely lady
and last in the triangle there is the
lovely lady herself.who is mighty sorry
she was so cruel.
Mayo Methot, whose grace of body
and actual dramatic genius has awa
kened local theater goers to the reali
sation that we have a s'ar-to-be right
in our midst, has the principal child
role. She is Philip the boy.- Phoebe

No Figures Given Out by Company
On First Xighfs Travel
Although no definite statistics have
as yet been compiled as to the extent
of service rendered by the all-night

urday night, the statement is made by
the officials of the Portland Railway,
Ua-ht & PoweY Company that very few
of the cars dispatched afttr 1:30 o'clock
A. M. attracted any consiaeraDie num

operated as accommodation to all parts

tanr. bearing on his Presidential cam
paign. With Vice-President McAdoo and
members of the campaign oommitU-.e,
the Governor will map out the
sections of the country where he
will peak and a schedule of addressj3
will be agreed upon. Present plans
rail for few speeches from the candi
date himself, but a larger number
from William J. Bryan. Speaker Clark,
Representative Underwood, Governor
Harmon, of Ohio; Governor Foss. of
Massachusetts; Senator-elect James, of
Kentucky, and scores of members of
.Congress.
Bryan to Speols In Went.
Though the Governor's plan is to
make several speecHes in some of the
more important cities of the country,
these speeches in no sense are to be
a swing around the circle or stumping
tour. It is admitted, however, that the
exigencies of the campaign may neces
sitate changes in the programme
adopted.
Mr. Bryan has arranged his own itin
erary, to begin about September 10. He
will speak for the most part in the
Middle West, beginning, it is said, in
Nebraska and taking in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Utah,
Missouri, Illinois and Ohio. In these
states Mr. Bryan will make big stump
ing tours, but he also will devote as
much time as possible to states east of
the Mississippi River.
Clark to Tour Southwest
While Mr. Bryan is concentrating on
the Northwest and the Middle West,
Speaker Clark, will tour the Southwest.
After his three speeches in Maine next
week he will proceed to Missouri, Col
orado, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia. The campaign committee's
idea was to have Mr. Clark visit those
states in which he thought he could be
of the most value. He has chosen,
therefore, those states that supported
him at the Baltimore convention.
Representative Underwood will
speak for the most part in the East
and probably will discuss chiefly the
tariff. The democratic House leader
has informed Representative Burleson,
of Tesw. chairman of the Speaker's
bureau, that he wishes to rest until
the end of September, but will then
begin active campaign work. Ho will
make speeches in New York, New Jer
sey. Delaware, Connecticut and New
Hampshire.
Governor Harmon will speak In the
Middle West and Governor Foss. of
Massachusetts, who is campaigning in
Vermont now, will fill engagements
outside of New Kngland.
Friction In Committee Denied.
Governor Wilson said last night it
was expetced Chairman McCombs. who
is ill, would resume active work at
headquarters within two weeks. Ru
mors that there had been friction be
tween other members of th committee
and Chairman McCombs and that the
chairman misht not return to lead the
campaign were emphatically denied by
Governor Wilson. ,
"I never knew any body of men to
work in more thorough harmony than
the members of this campaign commit
tes" said Governor Wilson, "and their
relations with Mr. McCombs have been
those of intimate confidence and en
thusiastic co-operation. They admire
and trust htm, as I do, and deem his
assistance and guidance invaluable and
such as no other man could give at this
juncture. His absence is an embarrass
ment and a distress to them, as it is
to me. and the plans they have carried
out are plans which were worked out
first of all with him."
"Her Own Way"
at the Heileg
N
BY LEONE CASS UAEH.
OT in the least in the nature of a
farewell did it seem last night
when Catherine Countiss presented the
delightful portrayal of Georgiana Cor
ley, the girl who had "her own way,"
in the Clyde Fitch play of that name.
When some folk are going away from
a place where they have every reason
to have been quite happy and to have
given in return a very great deal of
happiness as Miss Countiss has un
doubtedly done for us, their leave tak
ing takes on the outward semblance of
sorrow, and the regret of it all hangs
over everything. No such thing occurs
erous hunk of cake. Phoebe B. Beebe
probably finds her name a mouthful as
well. Eva Nordstrom and Luclle Trog
lio are the two other children.
Mary Edgett has a big role and one
she enacts admirajbly with a strength
of self-repression and a fine shading
of emotion in the scenes, where han
dled by another actress, less wise,
there could be occasion for much turn
ing on of "weeps." Miss Edgett's role
Is that of the society loving sister of
the heroine, a part she plays naturally,
dresses in exquisite taste.
Laura Adams, as the grande dame
mother of the two girls, Is afforded
excellent chances for comedy effects
and it need not -be recorded that she
makes the most of her lines.
To Henry Hall Is given one of the
really biar roles of his season here. He
is the designing friend the other cor
ner of the triangle made by the hero
and heroine.
Robert Lawler has another -t those
emotional roles where he must be all
over the place, be at outs with every
body. But Lawler is a capital char
acter actor and plays with a thor
oughness arjd a display of feeling that
carries the value of real ability.
John C. Livingstone is the hero
Lieutenant Coleman a role he fits
into personally by reason of his hand
some stage presence. Claire Sinclair
is the comedy riot of the show. As
Bella, the talkative, hairdresser, she
flounces in and out of the action, chat
ters knowingly and makes a decided
impression with the audience which
manifests its appreciation by applaud
ing her often. Florence Davenport, a
new arrival, is the maid, and Charles
Schad is the butler, who buttles. Sce
nically the production is satisfactory.
"Her Own Way" jvill run all week at

a state department for the suppression
of vice. The demand is backed by the
World's Purity. Federation, of which B.
S." Steadwell. of this city, Is president,
and the campaign, if successful In Ore
gon and one or two other states where
it will be instituted, will be carried Into
all parts of the Nation.
"The states have no provision for po
lice protection of the citizens." said
President Steadwell. "and this bureau
would furnish this protection special
ized along the lines of prevention of
white slavery and suppression of dives.
In conjunction with the Federal Gov
ernment, such state . police bureaus
would be able to wipe out the social
evil, as commercially fostered."
The plans for the campaign for the
new bureau are not complete, but when
completed all the literature will be sent
out by the head office of the world's as
sociation here. The Oregon campaign,
however, will be started Immediately
after the election, as the establishment
of such a bureau or state department
It is expected will have to be submitted
to popular vote, either by referendum of
the Legislature or by an amendment to
the constitution.

Petitions in California,
SACRAMENTO. Aug. 26. Alba Un
dell, a San Francisco attorney. Is cir
culating a petition to recall Governor
Johnson. He wrote a letter to the Gwr
ernor last week denouncing him for al
leged betrayal of the Progressive cause
and accusing him particularly of be

in San Francisco.
It is not known here whether he rep
resents anyone else in his effort to ob
tain signatures to a recall petition.
war mar be executed. Saturday rebel
leaders could have given up their arms
and receive pardons.
This is- in accordance, with the sus
pension of public rights announced
some weeks ago from Mexico City.
Not one rebel chief or soldier has
taken advantage of the amnesty pro
posal. The whereabouts of Orozco. supposed
to be trapped between cordons of Fed
eral troops between Juarez and Chi
huahua City, is still In doubt. There is
a suspicion that -Orozco may have
escaped through the line somewhere
and is on his way to Sonora.
Orozco'o whereaboota Mytery.
News by courier was brought to Hai
chata, yesterday that the rebel Gen
erals, Pascual Orozco and Inez Salazar,
have formed a junction 50 miles below
the border at that point. If this re
port is true, the rebel leader has
escaped from the trap set by federals
below Juarez and passed through the
cordon of troops strung along the rail
ways. Combined Force Numbers DOO.
i The courier reported that tbe com
bined forces of Orozco and Salazar num
ber about 900 men. They are selecting
the best horses and killing all animals
they cannot use. The courier came
from the Nogales ranch, where the reb
els are operating, near the, boundary
of Chihuahua and Sonora. It is believed
no Federal force is in a position to pre
vent Orozco's entrance into the west
ward border state through the San Luis
pass.
It appears certain that the rebels will
pass through Colonia Morelos and
neighboring Mormon settlements in tha
State of Sonora. Fearing this, a cour
ier was dispatched from Jjougias,
Ariz., to warn the Americans or me ap
proach of the rebels.-
MERCILESS CAMPAIGN BEGUN

instead of having disappeared from
the state of Mexico ino the mountains
of Guerrero, the Zapatistas are now re
ported as practically in control of the
villages and haciendas a few miles
south of Toluca. the capital. Benjamin
Argumedo and Murillo, two of Orozco's
officers, are operating in the rear of
General Huerte near Torreon. while
Campos, Campa, Fernandez and Rojas
are giving the government forces in
Sonora plenty to do.
"Orozco himself and Salasar are dodg
ing about the federals in the northern
part of the state of Chihuahua and
along the Sonora state line. The fed

their plans to effect his capture, but
it is admitted that ho Is riding with

ACTRESS IS HONOR GUEST
Press Club Entertains Grace Cam
eron, of Orpheum.
Grace Cameron, slnglngcomedienne.
who appeared at the Orpheum last
week, and the members of the Portland
Press Club held their third reunion at
the Press Club Sunday night. And there
was not a dull moment In tlte fes
tivities which lasted two hours. Of
course, the lion's part of the entertain
ment devolved on Miss Cameron, but
nobody Vas disappointed. She meas
ured up to the occasion. She had not
sang many of her selections until her
auditors joined in both versa and
chorus.
Miss Cameron is a complete enter
tainment In herself, but the programme
last night was rounded out with other
vocal selections by Miss Roberta Palma
and Miss Gebest, of the Hotel Pregon.
The details of the programme were di
rected by Lute Pease, manager of the
club. A "Dutch lunch" was served.
the first night, being a Saturday night,
would naturally attract an unusually
large traffic; while on the other, it is
held that the new schedule was ; ut on
at such short notice that the full aver
age auota were not informed of the
schedule and hence did not avail them
selves of the "owl car" opportunities.
The schedule will be followed for 28
more days and detailed figures will be
kept to determine the success or failure
of the venture. The first reports win
be filed by the car conductors this
morning.
