SHOWS i. FIGHT
Slayer of Virgie Hart at Con
' don Breaks Down and Cries
When Placed in Jail.
CRANE SHOT REGRETTED
Prisoner Says He Desired to Sur

Would Be Lynched Concern Is
for Mother In Kentucky.
CONDON". Or., Oct. 20. (Special.)
Bob Morgan, who slew pretty Virgie
Hart and fatally wounded Lisa Crane,
a bystander, here Thur&day right, was
raptured today by Sheriff . Montague,
of Gilliam County, 18 miles south of
Fossil. When disarmed and placed In
jail he broke down and cried like a
child.
At noon today the Sheriff, accom
panied by Dr. Taylor In the latter's
automobile, left for Fossil on a scout
ing expedition. At Fossil young F,rln
dle and another boy who had been
' hunting this morning, told them they
saw a man answering the description
of Morgan headed south. They imme
diately started in pursuit, accompan
ied by the boys. At the place men
tioned the man's tracks were fresh and
seemed to be getting plainer. A boy
living near said he saw a man pass
ing a couple of hours before. About
two miles further on and just as they
came over a small hill they saw
Morgan. Drawing his gun the Sher
iff jumped from the automobile and
covered him.
Morgan did not show fight. He
threw up his hands and held them up
until Dr. Taylor applied handcuffs.
Morgan had nothing to eat from
Thursday night until Saturday morn
ing except a few apples. He had two
meals since. He expressed sincere re
gret at shooting LJss Crane, but had
nothing to nay about shooting the girl.
He said that the night of the shoot
ing he looked for the Sheriff to give
himself up, but could not find him in
the crowd, as he did not know him by
Fight, and the excitement was so great
he was afraid of being lynched, so hid
behind Shell's house and watched them
hunt for him. He says he could have
shot them all. About 11 P. M. he went
out four miles and slept in a haystack.
He shows no concern except for his
mother in Kentucky. He had no ob
jective point in view. He had 19.75
and his big gun.
A letter from Morgan to the girl
which never reached her, and is in the
Sheriff's hands, is full of endearing
phrases and threats.
PUBLIC SERVICE RENDERED
Remarkable Sales Attend Introduc
tion of Book on Government.
When the new book, "The American
government," by Frederic J. Haskin, in
dorsed by all of the leading officials
of the Federal Government, - made its
appearance on the American book mar
ket. The Oregonian felt that here, in
deed, was a book which should be in
every home in the land. It was be
Keved that this work afforded such a
splendid inspiration to patriotism that
It could render a positive public service
:o the people of this city by lending
.tself to a campaign for its widespread
introduction into the homes and schools
it the city.
How accurately the situation was
iudged is disclosed by the story of the
tremendous success that has followed,
the introduction of the book here 'and
elsewhere. Already the 375th thousand
has been put on the presses, and the
demand is growing with every passing
lay. Yet, with all of these remarkable
sales, not one single word of adverse
criticism has been heard. On the other
hand, thousands have written express
ing their delight with the book and
their appreciation of the public spirit
of this paper In making the distribution
at the mere cost of manufacture and
handling. See coupon on page 2, and
be prompt if you want a copy at cost.

HOSPITAL MAY BE BUILT
Homeopaths Will Take Action on
Unfinished Structure.
Completion of the Homeopathic Hos
'pltal building, which was started on
Kast Second street, between Halsey and
Multnomah streets, Holiaday's Addition,
several years ago. may be undertaken
in the naar future, if the plans of the
State Homeopathic Medical Society are
carried out. The annual meeting of
the society will be held at the Multno

Business sessions will be held Thurs
day, followed by a banquet at night.
Friday, papers will be read.
During the business session a report
on this hospital will be submitted 'by
Dr. I. N. Palmer, who was detailed to
examine the conditions. One wing of
the hospital, five stories high, was con
structed over three years ago, at a
cost of about J100.000. of reinforced
concrete, when work was suspended.
The property consists of the Brey
man block and this unfinished struc
ture.' valued, at between $250,000 and
1300.000. located near the O.-W. R. & N.
and Broadway bridges. It is the judg
ment of physicians that there is a fine

IDAHO SEXATOR BURIED AT
HOME OF CHILDHOOD.
Simple Service Is Conducted In
Building Used as Hospital at
Battle of Brandywine.
WESTCHESTER, Pa.,. Oct. 20. Be
neath an ancient oak in whose shade
the gallant Lafayette once bled,
the body of Senator Heyburn, of Ida
ho, was laid to rest this afternoon with
simple Quaker ceremonies. He sleeps
on historic field of Brandywine, be
side his Quaker mother and the near
friend" of his childhood.
The body of Senator Heyburn. in
charge of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate and accompanied from Wash
ington by Mrs. Heyburn. William Hey
burn. of Louisville, Ky, and Elwood
Heyburn. of Birmingham, Pa., brothers
of the Senator: Mrs. H. C. Marshall, of
Swarthmore, his sister, and Miss Mark
Florence Yeatman, of Kennett Square;
Pa., sister of Mrs. Heyburn, and the
Senatorial committee appointed by the
Vice-President, arrived at Westchester
at 1:30 this afternoon and was taken to
Birmingham Quaker meeting house of
revolutionary fame, the same building
which was used as a hospital at the
bloody battle of Brandywine, where La
fayette was wounded. -
There the rites of the Quaker faith
were conducted by Friend Henry Wil
bur, of Swarthmore, lifelong friend ot
the Heyburn family.
The little meeting house was crowd
ed to overflowing, many friends of the
Senator having boarded the funeral
train at Swarthmore. The casket con
taining the body, still draped in an
American flag from the Senate,- was
carried within, bearing upon it only the
wreath sent by the Senate. Other flow
ers were taken to the grave. The
Quaker services were impressively sim
ple. ; There was no music, no scripture,
no prayer. Friend Wilbur spoke at
length in praise of Senator Heyburn's
life work, and as he concluded asked
If there were others desirous of paying
tribute.
Two Quaker women who had known
Senator Heyburn rose in their places
and each spoke feelingly of the Sen
ator's good deeds, and of the kindliness
with which he was regarded by those
of their- sect.
Without further ceremony, the body
was borne to the burial ground Imme
diately adjoining the meeting house,
and silent prayer was offered as it was
lowe.-c-J into the grave.
Following the burial, Mrs. Heyburn
and those who accompanied her re
turned to Washington by special train.
Of the Senatorial committee appointed.
Senators Pomerene. Bankhead. Paynter
and Oliver acted as honorary pall-bearers,
together with Representative
Moon, of Pennsylvania.
CHASE ENDS IN CAPTURE
EX-RAILWAY MAX IS BOXCAR
ROBBER SUSPECT.
Edward J. Burns, Arrested Here,
Alleged by Officers to Be Head
of Gang In Colorado. '
Edward J. Burns. 32 years old, for
seven years a freight conductor on the
mountain division of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railway, believed by the po
lice to be the leader of a gang of
five box car robbers about Salida, Col.,
last night was arrested by Detectives
Edds. Hill. Price and Royle, in a
rooming-house, at Alblna avenue and
Graham street. He will be turned
over to a .deputy sheriff from Salida
today, and will be sent back to answer
charges of burglary and grand lar
ceny. He says he will not fight extra
dition. Burns, who has been in the employ
of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway
intermittently for 11 years, the Colo
rado authorities suspect of having
been the Head of a gang which broke
open box cars, tampered with pack
ages, and altogether stole about 34000
worth of goods in the last four years.
Burns' alleged operations, it is de
clared, have extended over three years,
and his personal thefts have amounted
to about $2000, says information filed
before a Justice of the Peace in Sa
lida several months ago.
The alleged work of Burns and his
alleged confederates is declared to
have been so clever that the consign
ees, when they received the goods that
had been tampered with, rather be
lieved that the consignor had not sent
the full quantity, than that the goods
had been stolen from the packages.
Burns Is said by the Colorado officer
to be on adept in remaking seals to
box cars after the original seals were
removed to get entry to the contents
of the cars. "Spotters" at division
points were so deceived by the seals,
which Burns is charged with remak
ing, that they passed the cars, and the
losses were not discovered until the
consignor found the packages short
several articles. Household articles,
boots, clothing and dry goods are
among the articles found missing from
the cars- which Burns is alleged to
have handled.
Several other arrests are expected
in and about Salida, according to the
Salida deputy.
The chase which resulted in Burns
capture started several months ago,
when Burns . left- Salida. He was
traced to Stockton, Cal., Sacramento,
Oakland, and finally to Portland,
where he arrived yesterday. When ar
rested Burns was going under the
name of Spencer.

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
Truly, it's "a dream of fair women"
at the Heilig, and Julian Eltinge is the
fairest, rarest creature of them all.
"Hamlet," with Hamlet left out,
might be a sorry production, but "ihe
Fascinating Widow." with Julian El
tinge left out, would be well. It
couldn't be done, ' which is not to say
that there isn't a lot,of gay lilting mel
odies an avalanche of comedy, and a
half dozen real comedians to see that it
gets attended, to. and there is an oc
tet of the prettiest, .shapeliest and
most youthful chorus girls that ever
rode across the continent to show us
what they keep on Broadway.
Play Fit Eltinge.
Julian Eltinge is the plot. It was all
written 'round about him. It fits his
peculiar abilities quite as snugly as his
wonderful clothes fit him. He is sup
posed to be Hal, a 'rah-'rah boy, de
voted to one Margaret, and in bad with
Margaret's mother, who is a walking
advertisement for "before-taking-your-obesity
powders." He has a grand pow
wow with his hated rival, and sends
him biting the campus dirt, whereupon
the beligerent Hal has to make himself
a scarce commodity.- So he does, only
to return anon as the fascinating
widow.
Naturally, following the way of wid
ows since the first one, his her ad
vent causes agitation. This one gets
close to his adored one, and also makes
a large Inroad into mother's affection
and guidance. Hal plays merry hob
with the susceptibilities of all the men
on the place, frolics about with the
girls, and makes for excitement gener
ally. ,
Eltinge has a half dozen songs and
as many changes of apparel. His gowns
are not gowns they are creations and
each succeeding one is lovelier than its
forerunner.
Acting; Pleases AIL
It is difficult to say whether El
tlnge's performance most pleases men
or women. Men realize probably its ar
tistic worth, and delight in it as a dis
tinct novelty: women quickly grasp the
fineness of detail, and cogitate and do
tall figuring to know how he does it
Which makes the gentle pastime of In
quiring about Anne's age look like an
encyclopedia of knowledge. For that
is the secret' Inviolate. Not even the
strongest binoculars, telescopes, or
opera glasses and everybody had a
pair turned on the fair widow revealed
the make-up recipe.
The transformations were quite as if
a wholly different woman had come
onto the stage each time.
Eltinge does not resort to tricks of
voice, adopting rather a modulation of
h)s own, which, being not especially big
or strong in the original, becomes a
sort of plausible contralto In the wid-'
ow's mouth. '
' Work, Shows Genius.
The art to entertain as Eltinge Soes
is a personal gift His femininity is
flawless in quality, just as his mascu
linity is assertive and dominant. He
plays two roles, and plays them well,
subordinating neither to the other. In
his own especial way of amusing the
public, Eltinge is certainly a genius,
and unites in a remarkable degree the
exterior qualities and the personalities
of the two sexes. By no stretch of im
agination can he be compared or even
spoken of in the same breath with the
usual and accepted' audeviMa type of
female impersonator.
He creates a respect when we see
him in his proper person, and appeals
as manly and virile. His acting, de
spite the handicap of feminine habila
ments. commanded close attention and
was highly convincing.
Save for Belle Adair, a charming girl,
who is Margaret, the organization is
the self same as when first organized.
Miss Adair has a pretty vpice, which
she uses to advantage in one song, "All
t-5 World Loves a Lover."
Garvle'a Work Good.
Eddie Garvie provides undiluted mer
riment as the adiposo tissue and train
er, whose stock of facial expressions
should be copyrighted at once.
James Spottswood made a dandy ju
venile, who paired with Garvie on the
laughs: Charles W. Butler, as a diminu
tive chaplain, 'who gets "plflicated" on
the punch, and. Gilbert Douglas, as os
wald, tfie rival of Hal, provided hilar
Itv aDlentv.
Carrie Perkins Is the plump cause of
everybody's troubles in the role or Mar
garet's mother, and. Louis Orth and
June Mathe's are dainty ingenues.
"The Fascinating Widow" is tuneful,
colorful and worth while. It will re
main until and Including Wednesday
night at the Heilig, with a matinee on
that day.

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
EVERY Portland woman who has a
"Mrs." tacked onto the front of
her nam, or every woman who ver
anticipates, or feels fairly certain of
having Mrs. on. her visiting card,
should see "The Spendthrift" at the
Baker this week. ' '
- It Is a play in which masculinity has
all the innings, and femininity is
much put in the discard. Of course it
teaches a lesson not exactly teacher
either, but points a very splendid moral
which is pleasant to take because we
all know Its properties.
Domesticity runs rampant in "The
Spendthrift." Having as Its founda
tion the infelicities of a wedded life,
handicapped by financial worries, the
story is one that makes its appeal,
whether pertinent or not, to everyone
who sees it. -
Its sympathy is deep and abiding
in its effect. However, be. it said that
the sympathy is all for Mr. Spend
thrift, unless one excepts the last act
Then, Mrs. Spendthrift repentant, poverty-stricken,
shorn of her laces and
jewels, her vanity In the dust, - her
silly childishness gone, and In its place
a purposeful ambition, comes In for a
legitimate share of sympathy.
Up until this last act Alice Fleming,
as Mrs. Spendthrift, worked as no
Trojan soldier ever did to gain reedg
nition for . the character. And she
plays it marvelously well. In fact, as
an example of natural art fhls role is
the best piece of acting this talented
actress has given us. As Mrs. Richard
Ward, the spendthrift in the story, she
depicts a brainless, shallow, pretty
doll. Raised under the tutelage of an
aunt who has given her all she de
manded, the girl has married Dick
Ward and taken a post-graduate
course in extravagance'. When he i!f on
the verge of ruin and begs her to re
trench, she is unable to see why, or
hdw, and doesn't.
Then, when ruin is inevitable, she
borrows - money and gives it to her
husband. Manlike, he puts the worst
construction possible on her act, and
leaves her after a stormy scene. Then
she passes through the purifying
flames in a tenement where she teaches
little children and works out her own
salvation. It is here that her husband
finds her, and so ends the story for us.
Helen Strickland captures the spe
cial prize this week.- When she
walked in, deliberate of step and
antique In architecture of gown -and
bonnet, it seemed for one moment as
if an outsider had by accident reached
the stage. That is just how much she
looked like a real little old' lady- Not
once did she get away from the. char
Robert Conness is the husband, Dick
Ward, a role he plays with great dig
nity and unmistakable virility. Not so
much the lines the playwright has
given Conness bring him sympathetic
understanding, as does the sweet ten
derness he displays toward the silly lit
tle Mrs. Spendthrift.
Pretty as the doll she represents is
Alice Fleming, floating about In the
loveliest negligee, later in a gorgeous
ball gown, and once in a nightdress.
She pouts and coos, and wheedles,
reads novels and chats earnestly about
a luncheon on the day her husband
faces bankruptcy, earning for the
character a fine hatred and, for her
own artistic prowess in presenting It,
unlimited praise.
Baker Moore, as Dick's brother,
Monty, has a mightily pleasing role.
His comedy is delightful and infectious.
Alice Patek Is cast as Monty's fiancee,
and these two gain the good will of
their audience in a pretty little story
of their own, in which, warned by the
fate of the Spendthrifts, they "start
differently."
Robert Wayne is excellent as a friend
of the family. William Lloyd is the
clubman from whom Mrs. Spendthrift
borrows the money, and he plays the
small role with telling effect.
Lovely Mary Edgett continues to be
a French maid, with much sprinkling of
the language, and a daintiness of man
ner that delights. Claude Archer is the
butler and buttles correctly.
"The Spendthrift" will continue all
week, with matinees on Wednesday and
Saturday. '
SUIT SAID TO BENEFIT
WICKER9HAM SAYS STANDARD
OIL DECREE HELPED.
Letter From Official of Independent
Organization Cited to Show Re- '
. lief Sought Resulted. .
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-To sustain
his contention that the decre dissolv
ing the Standard Oil Company gave the
relief sought by the anti-trust suit
against the corporation, Attorney-Gen-
T-n i wiob-at-eha m 4Kiipri a. statement to
day revealing some of the results of an
inquiry he has been malting inic cunui
tlons in the oil Industry.
Tha elfltmnl intanrieri as a further
reply to criticisms that such decrees as
that of the standard un Denentea me
trusts, was built around a letter, op
timistic as to present conditions, which
the Attorney-General recently received
from C. D. Chamberlain, secretary and
general counsel of the National Petro
leum Association. That organization Is
composed of a large number of Inde
pendent refining companies, embracing,
according to the Attorney-General, vir
tually all the companies not connected
with the Standard Oil.
Attorney-General Wlckersham gave
out with his statement a copy of a let
ter from Mr. Chamberlain, who wrote
that while the full effect of the decree
cannot yet be judged, . independents
have more unrestricted and uncon
trolled opportunity today to carry on
their business "without unfair, secret
and oppressive competition on the part
of one great rival than they have en
joyed for years past."
Attorney-General Wlckersham had
written to Mr. Chamberlain, the state
ment said, for accurate information as
to present conditions contrasted with
those exchanged prior to the Supreme
Court decision in May, 1911.
"Now," Mr. Chamberlain pointed out,
"the independent manufacturer and re
finer of oil is able to conduct his busi
ness with a fair share of profit rea
sonably due him and without the fear
ful handicap which he labored before
the Government Bult was brought.
"Since the decree of dissolution the
price of crude oil had advanced from
44 to 70 cents a barrel in the mid
continent field; from 65 to 87 cents in
the Illinois field, and from J1.S0 to
$1.60 in the Pennsylvania field those
being practically the largest produc
tion fields of reflnable oil. Of course,
these Increases in the prices of crude,
which benefit the producer of the
crude and not either the Standard Oil
Company or the independent refiner
and marketing companies, has result
ed, in a somewhat increased price of
the refined products, added to which
the enormous increase tn the demand
for gasoline in the United States ma
terially contributed."
