Tlie efforts of the police to find either "Mrs. Mary Barnes" or her servants, the only ac tual witnesses of the shooting Thurs day night of Walter Mumm. a well It nown sportsman, have been fruitless, ird the affair remains more or less a mystery. Mumm was. shot while In the Woman's home. M. Mumm. in the interrogation yes terday by Magistrate Bouchard, strong ly protested against that version of the snooting which said he' struck "Mrs. Barnes" before she fired. ; Mumm Family Interfere, f '! was fond of Mrs. Barnes." said Mumm to the magistrate, "but I think she was fonder of me. My family made me understand, however, that the situation between us could not con tinue. Mrs. Barnes was separated from her husband, not divorced, and arrortlinKly could not be my wife. '. "In view of our possible separation I tried to prepare my friend. Wednes day we took supper in a restaurant. The evening passed Rally. Champagne flowed, perhaps a little too freely, and when we returned, tired and enervated, to Mrs. Barnes1 home in the Rue Bulles Ferrilles, dawn was breaking. Fury Folloira "frTlms F1t."

Mrs. Barnes, who up to this time had not been much moved over the prospects of our parting, then had crying fit. which was followed by an outburst of fury. " 'Ah, it won't last forever! We will tee about that," she screamed, and be fore I could interfere, she snatched up a. little revolver and fired at me."

Assurance to the market that the ics it is gettinc are perfectly fresh v.-; 1 be attempted by the recently or ganized poultry club at Orenco by ci.ping the eggs Into the city with the 'ate on which they were laid clearly siamiiwl on their shells. This method "f -suing fresh ecsrs and an effort to -i-it-c better prices for poultry products by co-operative marketing, are the two cardinal ideas of the Orenco organization, bfesides its plana to Im prove the quality of the poultry through competitive exhibits. An egs that sold for 12.25 is listed among the interesting features In the early history of the organization. A lo cal poultry show was held at Orenco the week before the big show In Port land, and after its close, the expenses for the entire exhibition were paid by auctioning off the eggs that had been laid. The 13.23 egf? was laid by a Brown Leghorn that had- won three prises. After the poultry show in Orenco was closed, the prizewinners were shipped to Portland to compete for prizes In the state exposition. The show was held under the auspices of the Presby terian Church at Orenco and the ex hibits were Installed In the basement of the church. The lormal organiza tion of the Poultry Club of Orenco was coincident with this successful show. The new club will work In conjunction with the Orenco School Chlldrens' Fair Association.

A MILITARY play, with no bullets and no smell of powder, but with all the excitement and stirring adventure Incident to life at an army post. Near a mining camp is "The Com manding Officer," which begun its week at the Baker yesterday. In the story it tells, and the atmos phere it gives out. the play Is highly reminiscent of "The Deserters." the splendid bill In which this, company opened the season last Fall. Just why stock patrons enjoy to the fullest degreo all military plays is a psychological problem that is constant ly bobbing up for solution. Whether or not It is the uniforms and sugges tion of rigid discipline and the peep It gives Into the lives of the heroic and near heroic, or whether It Is that melodrama, love, murder, misunder standings and clearlng-up of myster ies which inevitably go into the mak ing up of such plays, constitutes the claim for attention, must be decided bv audiences alone. Suffice - to say. Manager Baker Invariably strikes 12 when he selects for interpretation any play like his present bill. It is strongly dramatic. Its climax is built up steadily and comes with a punch. The situations are many and worked out naturally, and the whole thing grips. The story concerns the Indiscretion of the wife of Major Archer. In the absence of her husband she flirts, perhaps Innocently enough, since tradition says all flirtations in plays are Innocent. It happens he has left her after a quarrel, and her flir tations with a mine owner, Lindsay, Is prompted by pique. The unfortunate part of it Is that Lindsay has been a suitor of her's and Is a worthess sort of cad who misinterprets her actions. Another cad. Waring, takes a snapshot picture of Mrs. Archer and Lindsay, and later offers to sell it to Lindsay for 11000. The picture is of Lindsay at tempting to kiss Mrs. Archer. She Is fearful of consequences and plans to go to Lindsay's quarters at night to get the picture. She disguises as a man In officer's uniform but falls to locate the house and returns home. In the meantime the two men have quarreled and TJndsay Is killed. Mrs. Archer takes into her confidence Floyd Carrot, tho governess of her little nieces. Floyd is in love with one of Archer's officers. Lieutenant Hammond. He Is accused of the murder because he cannot prove where he was on the night of the crime. As a matter of fact he had been following and pro tecting Mrs. Archer at the wish of Floyd. Waring finds this out and to prove an alibi declares he spent the houra from 1 till 3 in Floyd's room. Three people have seen Mrs. Archer's shadow In officer's uniform on Floyd's blind and for that reason the evidence is damning and believed. Flovd is forced into silence to pro tect Mrs. Archer, but when she hears that Lindsay's miners have gathered to lynch Hammond she tells the truth. Alice Fleming has a mental role this week one that calls for as much ex hibition of thought as of physical ac tion. Robert Conness has another Rob ert Conness role. He is Just himself, handsome, distinguished in his por trayalclear of voice and plays with a directness of purpose and a love of his work that is highly apparent. John R. Sumner was given an ovation upon his entrance. His introductory lines 'Tin glad to be home again" seemed peculiarly appropriate. Elizabeth Ross has an almost leading role this week as Mrs. Archer a role she. plays wtth force and quiet strength. .'William Lloyd is capita and truly a military product as Major Bingham. Robert Wayne has a great big role. He is Waring, the villain, and he plays it with such dash and Impudence that the au dience divides Itself between liking the acting and hating the villain. Baker Moore Is a young Lieutenant and a dashing, breezy role he makes it. Alice Patek plays a slangy, unconventional girl most delightfully. William Ber nard, who spends most of his time di recting and of whom Baker patrons see all to little in acting parts, has the biggest and best role of his season so far. Helen Strickland has one of her characteristic straight roles that of the meddlesome 1-am-holler-than-thou Mrs. Bingham, and plays it with comedy effect. Mary Edgett has a heavy think ing role as a pert maid, but what she isn't allowed in lines she makes up in personal charm and is a real pic ture. Francis Murray adds to the lev ity as a typical doctor. "The Commanding Officer" Is hand somely staged, and the military appur. tenances add style and charm. It will be at the Baker all week with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. Doubtful Success of Blanquct in Suppressing Uprising Recog nized in Capital. MEXICO CITY. Dec. 16. Leaving be hind the ruins of burned villages and the wrecked properties of hacienda owners, the rebels appear to be mov ing out of the state of Mexico Into the states of Puebla and Morelos, particu larly Morelos. In line with their tactics, they are declining the issue in General Blan quet's campaign in the State of Mexico even before I is fairly under way. This doubtful success of General Bianquei In riding the State of Mexico of the in surrectds is recognized in the capital as merely '.-hanging the field of opera tions. A series of small fights char acterizes the last week, in which the Federals for the most part have been victorious because, the rebels invari ablv retired. The rebel campaign of destruction Is unabated, however, while the govern ment troops are continuing the war of extermination and the bodies of rebels and those supposed to be in sympathy with them are hanging from trees. In the states of Morelos, Puebla and Guerrero, railway communications are interrupted and stories of trains being fired upon are received almost daily. Two trains were in collision yesterday near Cuautia as the result of such at tacks. A passenger train under mili tary escort was attacked. The com mander of the escort ordered the train stopped and deployed his men in antici pation of an engagement. A freight train following the passen. ger was attacked by another band. The engineer opened the throttle and ran for safety. A collision resulted, , in which seven persons were killed and a large number injured. From the middle states, Michoaean, Guanajuato, Jalisco. Zacatecas and Dur ango, government officials are sending optimistic reports, but raiding and fighting continues. Cheche Campos, one of the roost prominent rebel leaders in Durango and Zacatecas, who was re ported in an official message as hav ing been killed, is alive. He is said to ha-e gone as far south as Jalisco. A development last week which is causing; some anxiety Is the mysterious disappearance of a larare number of la borers employed on haclcndias south of the Capitao. It is taken for granted they have Joined the rebellion. The greatest cause for anxiety Is the finan cial question. It is no secret that the nation neds money badly. The 20,000. 000 pesos loan authorized many weeks ago has not been floated. If a special session of Congress Is held it is not improbable that a few of the promised reforms will be enacted, but the popular opinion is that money and soldiers now would be more effect ive than reform. HUNT FILMS ARE SHOWN LARGE AUDIENCE AT IIEILIG HEARS LECTURE. Photographer From Tree Near Water Hole Gets Picture of Vast Army of Animals in Africa'. Never has the true -mission of the motion-picture, the educational and In formative side of the art, been brought home so forcibly as In the exhibition of the Ralney African hunt pictures, which began a nine-night and eight- day presentation at the Hellig Sunday ntght. These pictures arc the acme of per fection in bringing the wild beasts of Africa, their haunts and thrilling epi sodes of the hunt, into form of enter tainment that Is within the reach of all. The pictures are marvels of art, and are so faithful In detail that It seems as if the audience Is looking out through a window upon the actual happenings. Most of the motion-picture films are in color photography and the realization is startling in effect. They are so clear and steady that they never tire the eyes. In the two-hour entertainment pro vided one can, by means of these pic tures and the able lecture that accom panies it. yrain more lasting knowl edge of Africa than a year's solid read ing would give. With the starting point at Nairobi, the same point from which Colonel Roosevelt's party began Its hunt, the Heillg audience and by tho way. It was an audience that packed the place. overflowed Into the boxes and sat on extra chairs was taken along as a member of Mr. Rainey's party. Wild animals and birds or the rarest sorts, of which the circus and zoo varieties are only mild editions are paraded at such close view, with an opportunity for study of habits and life In their natural element. Albert Andruss, who has not only a pleasing personality, but a keen sense of humor, and exercises it often, explains every picture In minute detail; in fact the entertainment becomes a personally conducted African hunt with Mr. An druss as friend, g-uide and counselor. The marvelous delineation in mm form showing the wild animals at a water hole has without question never been equaled In the motion-picture world. With no knowledge that a hu man being is near, the Jungle beasts, larpe and small, singly and by droves. SAILORS BURY OLD CRONY Lives Rlskei That Pledge to Scatter Ashes on Sea Be Observed. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IS. With the seas ponndinir a requiem on the bar, seven old cronies of Peter Johnson car ried out their mate's last wish and to day save his ashes to the gale. They risked their lives to do it. for the lit tle launch Monk, carry-in the cortege In oilskins, one of whom clasped an urn. had to churn Us way through an onslaught of angry swells. It was a sea Into which larger craft dared not venture, and time and again It seemed only a marvel that brought the Monk out of the hollow of the waves. It was a stiff fight to the "po tato patch," where the ashes were scat tered, and a harder return. Peter Johnson ran a m-ater-front place, where sea-faring men met and Jabs -- DR. XV. A. WISH.
