occupied by the Piedmont Church. "
I have a larsre vision of the noasl-"
billties of the new Piedmont Church."
said Dr. Boyd, "with the Jefferson High
School near here and the other schools
hereabouts. Like the growth of Chi
cago, so Portland will grow, and
Piedmont, now seeming some distance
out, will be close in and surrounded
by a great population . which it shall
serve and direct into the higher life."

for several years, spoke briefly, after
which Rev. H. L. Hutchison, of the
Third Church, took charge, and in a

amount of 1350 toward the building
fund, ranging from 1 to- $500. E.

subscriptions. A musical programme

Presbyterian Church, and reported that
at the meeting last December when

was ' launched, $8000 -was subscribed.
Then,. in the name of the trustees, .he
moved the stone into place in the wall,
where it was cemented. It contains a
copper box filled with articles of the
Presbyterian faith, a list of the mem
bers and copies or the Portland news
papers. ' Rev. L. M. Boozer assisted in
the ceremony. On the platform were
Rev. J. E. Snyder, the pastor: Rev. A.

BIS TO SEE PLAY
Jewish Clergy Will Be Hosts at,
Empress Today.
HERBERTJS DRAWING CARD
Strons Religious Vein Said to Per
vade "The Son of Solomon,"
AVhich Is Extolled for Its
Cpllft Tendency.
Rabbis in charge of the Jewish con
gregations of Portland will be theater
party hosts today, the incentive being
"The Son of Solomon." the week's head
line playlet at the Empress presented
by Hugh Herbert, who has won renown
on the legitimate stage, and his little
vaudeville company. Rabbi Jonah B.
Wise, of Congregation Beth Israel
Synagogue; Rabbi R. Abrahamson, of
the Clay-street Synagogue, and J.
Bloeh, a retired minister of the Jewish
ralth. will occupy boxes at the Empress
matinee. Among the guests of the
clergymen will be prominent officers
of the city's synagogues.
"The Son of Solomon" is based on
the temptation of a son of a Jewish
family to rob his aged father. A re
ligious vein courses through the play
let, which has been extolled as being
remarkable for its spirit of uplift. The
sketch Is the longest little drama in
vaudeville, its presentation reQulring
85 minutes. Despite its length, the
playlet Is so framed that the interest
of the audience is held throughout, and
at the finale Hugh Herbert, as the
aged father, is so realistic in his little
sermon that the audience is hushed
and a half minute of impressive still
ness invariably precedes the audience's
outburst of applause.
The opening scene shows the father
and daughter discussing the absence of
the son and brother, who hag been
away from home for months. The
young man at this moment returns and
all are joyful over the reunion. Unwit
tingly the sister discloses to her
brother where the old man keeps his
money, and when the family has re
tired the youth tries to rob tils father
He is discovered by his sister, who
pleads with him in vain to desist. The
girl then fires a revolver to scare her
brother, and the young fellow falls in
a faint. As he lies & panorama of his
future passes before ' him. this effect

being presented by moving pictures.
He revives, impressed by the picture
warning, decides to lead a better life,
and so tells his father and sister.
Blending of pathos and comedy and
the religious tone imparted by the
father make "The Son of Solomon'- a
wonder playlet, say prominent dra
matic critics. The sketch was present
ed along the Orpheum circuit by Her
bert 16 months ago, and in that tour
he was accompanied by the same com
pany that supports him in his engage
ment with Sullivan & Considine.
JUNE RAIN SHOWS EXCESS
Continuation of , Summer Showers
May Establish Record.
With the total rainfall so far for
June at three inches, an excess of 1.60
Inches above normal, and Acting Fore
caster Drake predicting more and more
rain, the month of June, 1913, has sur
passed the month of June. 1912, already,
and gives promise of breaking a record.
Heavy as the rainfall has been, ho---ever,
it is still 2.38 inches less than it
was in the month of June, 1SS8, when it
reached a total of 5.33. The largest
daily rainfall ln the present month was
measured yesterday at 1.09 Inches at 5
P. M., which gives promise, if the rain
can keep up its pace during the week,
of smashing the 1888 record.
Last June the total rainfall for the
month was 3.03 inches, or 1.63 inches
above normal, and tip to and including
June 22. 1912. only 2.18 inches i.ad
fallen, of which 1.28 fell in one day,
June 20. In the preceding year only
.87 Inch of rain fell and it all occurred
in the last week of the month.
The June rainfall has exceeded three
inches only three times during the
period of observation. J 871-1512. which,
places the present month already well
to the fore In the matter of moisture,
as compared with the plain, average
June.
