"Mary was a grand old name." Mary's In town. Who's Mary? Why, Just "Mary, tnata all anybody cares to know "back Bast," east of the Mississippi. She' Known to fame as lust "Mary," though the family Bible has it Mary Weston xiumes. 6ne was bom In Pennsylvania and calls Philadelphia her home. For ine next lour months she will live in Portland and she is here to give Port land such publicity as this good old town never got In all its history, and inai s saying something, for Portland has not been overlooked by Its boosters. For two years "Mary," Just a mere slip of a yellow-haired girl, has been idling me worm that Portland, Or., is to be the scene of the second world's Christian citizenship conference. June E9-July 6. 1913. She says that she has written mat oate and fact more than 1.000.000 times and has seen It spread a, uuira me worra in six languages. Mary's Stunt Starts Thins. What's "Mary" got to do with It? Just mis. iwo years ago Clement H. Cong don, of Philadelphia, came to the Pa cific Northwest to select the city that would be the best for the holding of ima great worm s conference. Portland ortered less money than some other cities, but the city could show more Dig Droaa-shouldered men who would stand baclc of the event and give It their moral support than any other city lie vmiteu. That settled it. Congdon said men , counted for more taan money in the success of this project, and he went back to Philadelphia to tell the uni verse about Portland and her men. or to nave "Mary" tell it. Congdon says that "Mary" is the "cutest" publicity doper that ever dipped out the dope. cne is jar. jongaon s right-hand man, so to speak. When the "King's Business" cam paign was on in PhiladelDhla. Mr. Congdon's publicity bureau was called into service. Mr. Congdon got the thing started and then went to Florida. The game was up to "Mary." Millionaires Take Part. It the distribution of preachers among the various churches it hap pened that a crackerjack of a preacher was dropped in a little obscure church where Oabriel himself couldn't have waked up the brothers and sisters. "Mary" started in to let Philadelphia Know aDout tnat preacner. When an "old ladiers' day" was to be given In the church, Mary" decided that even- old lady should be taken to the church in an automobile and that every man who loaned his car must drive It him self. Did they do it? Philadelphli never saw such a string of millionaires in a single automobile parade. And the next day all the Philadelphia papers carried big front page stories about the old ladies. "Mary" and her mil lionaire chauffeurs. After that the church wouldn t hold the people. No telling what "Mary" may do In Portland! The whole city may rub Its eyes some fine Spring morning and ask what s happened. But whatever it Is, ( it will be all right, you can count on that. BURGLAR HUNT FRUITLESS Robber Informs Mr. Dckum Be Has Two Children. Efforts of Detectives Craddock and Goltz to obtain some trace of the "3 o'clock burglars," who marked their return after more than a month of ab sence from the city by invading the residence of A. A. Dekum Sunday morning, were entirely fruitless yes terday, and they see no immediate prospect of capturing the elusive pair. Ed Chapman, whom Craddock and Golts picked up at Third and Burnslde streets yesterday with a bunch of pass keys in his possession, was submitted to the scrutiny of Mr. Dekum. but he quickly dismissed suspicion against the man. Neither Is any faith given to the suspicion against John Lawrence, a youth who was arrested in a drunken condition, soon after the raid, on the back of his own porch, near the scene of the crime. An Interesting sidelight on the char acter of one of the robbers was sup plied yesterday by Mr. Dekum, who related In more detail his conversa tions with the robber. It was after the man had held a revolver to Mr. Dekum's head in an effort to force him to open a wall safe, that he hand ed back the owner's keys, with the remark, referring to Mr. Dekum's little girl, who was In the bed nearby. "Here, take your keys." said the rob ber. "It's on account of the kid that 1 let you off. J've got two of my own." DR. WILEY IS EXONERATED Unavoidable Accident Is Report on Death or AV. A. Cleland. Unavoidable accident was given by a Coroner's Jury yesterday as the cause of the death of W. A. Cleland, who was run down and crushed under the auto-j mobile of Dr. P. J. Wiley last week. I . The physician was present and was the only one who could give first-hand In formation of the manner in which the tragedy occurred. He showed that he was proceeding slowly and according to traffic rules when he ran Into Mr. Cleland. Legal accountability was assumed by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company for the death of George D. ' JReed. over whose body an inquest was held yesterday also. Mr. Reed met death when a loose trolley wire caught the staff and deflected it, striking him on the head. Seamen to Be VaudeviUlsts.

Mrs. Marx made a charming picture, wearing an ultra modish even ing gown' of pale blue charmeuse, against whloh the blue and gold of the handsome drawing-room scene made an effective background.. She was espe cially generous and gave three solos. These were "A Chain of Roses," "Annie Laurie" and as an. encore "The Captain." As an especial privilege the theater management broke one of its es tablished rules and the admirers of Mrs. Marx were permitted to send her flowers over the footlights. Mrs. Marx Truly Picture. She was truly a picture, as, glowing and smiling radiantly, her arms filled with red roses, she made her responses to the bursts of applause. Mischa Pels was Mrs. Marx accom panist. Programme Movea Rapidly. The rest of the programme moved along rapidly and at 9:15 It was fin ished and the second performance of the evening began, a routine the Em press will continue to follow. The bill of entertainment Is of ex ceptional worth, representing thought in selection. Lawrence Crane, the Irish wizard, presents an original and wholly di verting conception of magic While he is on the boards the stage is really a den of mystery. Of course he ex plains (?) some of his easiest tricks, and leaves us all as puzzled as before. Two gingery lads are Morrlssey and Hanlon, all of a size, and brimful of clever repartee made right on the scene of action. They take the audience into their confidence, sing a little, chatter considerable, and are too tunny for mere description. The sailor comedy four are excellent singers and have a lot of "close har mony" material that wins. Their songs are chosen with attention to what vau deville wants. Mamie Flemlna; SIna-a Well. Mamie Fleming Is a fascinating little maid who dresses fetchlngly and aings welL Completing the bill Is the troupe of Loja, an European gymnastic aggrega tion of five graceful men. Their act is thrilling, with one especially hair-raising feat In which a lad turns three somersaults In midair, and lands seated in a huge chair strapped to the Vraist of one of his co-artists. Mr. Consldlne was all day yesterday and up to a late hour last night in receipt of telegrams of congratulation from points all over the East, Middle West and the Pacific Coast. New Hampshire Fails to Elect. CONCORD, N. H., March 3.

Sly Is Arrested on Ar rival of Train Mining Engineer Tells of Being "Fleeced" in Game on High Seas. Further evidence in support of cur rent rumors that Portland has been opened to professional- criminals de veloped yesterday when E. A. Higgin son, a mining engineer who arrived yesterday from San Francisco on the steamer Bear; reported how he had been fleeced of $300 by three "card sharpers" who were passengers on the vessel. The three had tickets to Portland, but after a row which wound up the smoking room poker game Sunday night, they landed at Astoria. As a result Charles D. Sly was ar rested by Patrolmen Maloney and Swennes at 12:15 o'clock this morning for alleged complicity in fne card game. He came in on the Astoria train. Hig ginson lays the blame to the purser, who, he says, should have watched for gamblers. Higginson dropped Into the smoking room soon after leaving San Francisco, and saw three strangers engaged in a game of "penny-ante;" It was made easy for him to Join, and the game went along on a conservative basis for some time. Then the ante was raised to 25 cents and Higginson won several considerable pots. Then he picked up a "pat hand" and bet the limit before the draw. All dropped out but one man, who drew two cards. Higginson bet 50, which froze out his opponent, but be wrote a check and one of the other strangers cashed It. The stranger, who had drawn two cards, showed a hand that lust over-topped Higglnson's and raked in- the pot. "This game is crooked," said the loser, "and yod had better not let me catch you at It or someone will get killed." Five professional criminals, caught In a raid on the Netherlands Hotel by Detectives Hellyer and Howell Sunday morning, are now In the County Jail under bail of $1000 each to appear In Justice Court today: When the five were arrested, elab orate provision was made to insure that they would not be placed on the Muni- PEOPLE. clpal Court docket. Nevertheless, after they had been placed in the County Jail, Judge Tazwell was summoned, and fixed bail at 60 each. Placing the bail on a detectives' case of vagrancy at such a low figure Is strongly criticised' In the department. The five defendants were waiting yes terday in the anteroom of the Municipal Court expecting to be tried there. In stead, new warrants were served upon them for their appearance before Justice Bell, and $1000 bail was placed by the District Attorney. MRS. ELIZA FULTON DIES Mother of ex-Senator Fulton Suc cumbs to Stroke of Paralysis. After lingering for a few days, Mrs. Eliza A. Fulton, mother of C. W.
