county grand Jury J. C. Alnsberry, alias
C. 1 Armsberry and also known as "W.

esque In the extreme, was arrested at
Oswego, May 19, for shooting Fred
Ream, of Willamette, in the groin in
the course of a riot between union line
men and men in the employ of - the
Home Telephone Company. When ar
raigned he pleaded that he had shot
only in self defense, and was bound

action of the grand Jury. The ball
was put up in cash, but Alnsberry, re
fused to permit the court to accep't it,
saying that he might be rearrested at

admitting that he had broken his parole
from San Quentin. He was then locked

troubles at the mills here, the state
executive said he would not refuse to
grant extradition papers in Ainsberry's
case from either Wyoming or Califor

case then pending against him here.
GEMS KEPT FROM ACTRESS
Detectives Demand That She Pay
Reward as Was Promised.
Only by making a trip from New
York to Portland can Miss Amy Butler,
Vaudeville actress, recover her lost
$7000 diamonds, found last week by
Detectives Hyde and Vaughn after the
gems had lain burled more than a year
in a laborer's cellar. That at least is
the present status of the negotiations
in the case. after a week of tele
graphing back and forth in search of
some more convenient way of exchang
ing the diamonds and the $1000 which
Miss Butler posted as a reward.
When the detectives got a tip to the
whereabouts of the Jewels, they had
to promise their Informant tlve reward,
which Miss Butler had posted at the
time of her loss. She approved their
action, but when they dug up the gems
he began to make difficulties.
Tired of dickering with the woman.
Judge Jons announced yesterday that
he would proceed Btrlctly according to
statute, and require appearance in his
court to prove ownership before he
will give the diamonds up to anyone.
SMALL BOY NOW REJOICES
With Closing of Schools Popularity
of Playgrounds Is Attested.
Summer vacation begins today so far
practical classroom work or exam
inations are concerned. The last of
the public school examinations Is to
be held this morning, after which the
pupils will be dismissed to reassemble
for a short time on Thursday morning
to receive their grade cards.
Indications of the vacation season
are noticeable in the playgrounds of
the city. Many of the private and de
nominational schools closed last week
and the week before, and since Satur
day, the approaching lapse from work
in the public schotis has brought out
hundreds of children to all of the play
grounds during hours of sunshine.
Approximately 1000 will receive cer
tificates of promotion from the ninth
grade and may enter the high, schools
next Fall.
25-PIECE BANDS DEMANDED
Union Declares Music at Rose Fes
tival Miide Poor Showing.
A movement has been started in the
Musicians' Union to adopt a resolution
declaring that no union band of less
than 25 pieces will be entered in Rose
Festival parades hereafter. This year
the union musicians were divided into
bands of 12 pieces each, which did not
make much of a showing either as
marching bodies or for the volume of
sound they produced.
Another thing that -did not please
the musicians in connection with the
recent Festival was the lack of torch
lights for the bands, which were
forced to eschew playing the latest
airs and fall back on old favorite tunes
that were known by heart.
HEAVY TRAVEL EXPECTED
Railroads Preparing for Record
Traffic National Holiday Week.
Railroads in the Northwest are as
sembling their passenger equipment
preparatory to handling a record
breaking Fourth of July movement. An
open fare of one-and-a-third for the
round trip has been quoted by all lines
from and to all points in the Norttiwest.
So far as Portland is concerned the
heaviest movement out of the city will
be to Astoria and Salem.
Heavy travel is predicted also to Ta
toma for the Montamira Festo and to
Grays Harbor towns for the "Splash."
At Vancouver, Wash., there will be
the usual military maneuvers.

Yesterday was the day set for the
purchase of supplies for the last half

exception of $350, was paid directly out
of the funds of the Rosarians. Two
hundred and fifty dollars was sub

many of whom are Rosarians, to char

Governor West - purchased him a new

Governor told him that he need hot

for a day in case they were prostrated
over the death of his sister; that his

Empress.
A QUAINT doddering old Hebrew,
full of those witticisms which
whether dealing with mercenary or
amorous matters, have made the chosen
race famous the wide world over; a
ne'er-do-well son and a stay-at-home
daughter; these three characters in
"Son of Solomon," comprise a sketch
which, in the hands of Hugh Herbert
and his company, is deservedly the hit
of the whole bill at the Empress this
week.
Without Herbert it is difficult to
imagine the play a success; he is so
very lifelike, so natural, so completely
at his ease as this Hebraic antique.
Briefly it is the old story of money
taken from the bank, hiden at home
and the secret entrusted by father to
daughter who in turn guilelessly hands
it on to the son. But not with the
inevitable result, for this time a phono
graph prevents either theft or patricide
by the son and. a moving-picture film
is put to novel use as showing the
state of the son's mind when he thinks
he has killed his sister.
A father and son act opens the bill.
Thomas Wilton and Robert Merrick
providing as they put it, "a feat or two,
on a bar or two, with a laugh or two,"
which is correct except as far as the
number of feats, bars or laughs go, for
all may be multiplied.
Elliot and West, clever clowns, both
white faced and black dressed, give
good exhibitions of grotesque dancing
which keeps the audience's feet tap
ping in sympathetic harmony, and then
Gilmore and La Tour not only keep up
the fun but increase it. He is a man
with a fine bass voice, used to ex
cellent effect and with great clarity;
she is a. girl with a giggle as infec
tious as It was seemingly spontaneous.
Mae Dolly and Charles Mack gave
selections on -violin and banjo, which
varied from serious opera to gay musi
cal comedy hits and all the latest rags.
Tempo and touch of both are good and
selections varied .
As a wind-up to a fine bill there are
beautiful maidens and handsome men
in poses taken from Greek statues,
from famous paintings and historical
occasions. The scenic effects are beau
tiful and the poseurs shapely.
Pantages.
EVERY act is of top-notch quality at
Pantages Theater. Not one offer
ing that isn't well worth while and it
all blends together into a mighty fine
entertainment.
"The Girls From the Golden West"
head the bill. There's six of them, five
beside the leader. They wear gorgeous
uniforms, changing a half dozen times
and appearing at the last In spangled
one-piece garments of unusual beauty.
Each plays a horn of some variety.
Cora Youngblood Corson is the lead
er and has a solo specialty on a horn
almost as big as the stage and which
completely hides her when she plays It.
Esthellita, an exquisitely graceful
dancer of Spanish dances, has a great
big place on the programme. She is
a whirlwind of beautiful motion.
Ed Vinton and his almost human ca
nine. Buster, are absolutely wonders.
Apparently without signals. Buster
goes through amazing tricks and obeys
suggestions that attest not only his
own sagacity but the patience and
kindness of his master.
Two exceptionally talented and pret
ty girls are Misses Adair and Hickey.
One of them, a Titian-haired beauty,
keeps the piano from being lonesome
and the other, a slender, supple bit of
dainty glrlishness, ragtimes in song
and dance all over the place.
Those four kids Brown, Wood, Bar
ry and Dore have a lot of what they
call youthful pranks. They sing de
lightfully, exchange jokes and make
puns. and. wind up with a dance of the
rapid-fire" sort. They were called back
a dozen times, but for that matter so

Orphenm.
JESSE L. LASKY, who makes a spe
cialty of sending Importations into
the vaudeville world, has sent his new
est and best to headline this week's
Orpheum bill. "Trained Nurses" is Its
title and there's a dozen of them, all
beauties, all good dancers, all good
singers, garbed in white uniforms and
making a play world out of the san
itarium atmosphere. A dignified doc
tor, and a flirtatious "matron," and
one frisky patient with a special nurse
to hold his hand and listen to his heart
beats. These are the principals.
The patient is Henry Bergman, tal
ented in toes and voice; the nurse is
Gladys Clark, also a past-graduate In
dancing.
Of headline caliber is "Kick In." the
story of stylish crooks, written and
staged by Willard Mack, and played
by that excellent stage craftsman, his
lovely wife, Marjorie Rambeau. and
two assistants. There's not one min
ute of time wasted in the action and
not one minute that isn't chuck full of
intellect. Mack is Chick Hewes, Miss
Rambeau is Molly Hewes, hotel
thieves. How they plan a get-away
after a big Jewel robbery, are almost
captured and their clever outwitting of
the detective is told in the sketch.
Mack is at his best, and, as we all
know who have Been '-him in traveling
productions and stock, that best is
splendid. He is a convincing, finished
artist. Miss Rambeau plays the role
of the girl thief Molly with indescrib
able sincerity. She makes the role
dominant, and It fairly shrieks truth.
One of - the really sparkling little
teams of a dozen that have come and
gone Is ' fluffy-topped Muggins Davis,
and her dancing-singing-chattering
partner, Walter De Leon. Their song
hits are from "The Campus," written
by Mr. De Leon.
The Le Grohs, two boneless men and
a woman, also boneless, give a pos
itively hair-raising demonstration of
contortion work. Their act Is truly
marvelous. 1
Professor Ota Gygl, a picturesque
youth, took the house by storm with
his exquisite violin music
Cecile Beresford. an English com
edienne, offers character Bongs, some
of them at the piano. Lew Hoffman,
the hat maniac, opens the biU with a
Juggling specialty.
Lyric.
THE weekly turn of the Lyric pro
gramme presents an exceptionally
rich show. It is one of the best in
musical numbers which has been seen
at the stock house for some time. "Sin
bad the Sailor" is the title of the mu
sical melange.
The story is about as follows: Sin
bad is a truly heroic sailor, played by
the charming Ilene Edwards. His love,
portrayed by Kate Carlson, is kid
napped by a pirate chieftain, TIney Sny
der. Some striking sailors get on board
and sink the ship to carry on the plot.
Half the band is hurled onto an island,
populated only by pretty women. They
have not seen a man In ages and Im
mediately adopt those of the wrecked
steamer. Of course that Is the end of
the story.
Lew Dunbar, Frank Confer and Billy
Onslaw furnish most of the comedy as
the three members of the hobos' trust.
Their refusal to work saves the day
in several instances. .
Ilene Edwards and the- chorus made
one of the biggest hits In weeks with
their singing of an old favorite, "Cud
dle Up a. Little Closer." As an encore
they gave the song "Splash Me," made
famous by Alice Lloyd.
Tlney Snyder was at his best. He
sang "Son of the Desert."
Kate Carlson and the Romlg twins
made good In their specialties, the
two little members of Keating &
Flood's company winning . their ap
plause with an Indian song.

BAIL BOND IS IN DISPUTE
: - i
CHA.RLKS M'ALPIX CASE COMES
rp IX COURT.
Report Is That Many Flimsy Secu
rities Are Accepted Giving Of
fenders Chance to Get Away.
Latest of numerous instances, of the
flimsy security furnished by many ball
bonds given in Municipal Court, the
case of Charles McAlpin, alleged ab
sconder from an appealed sentence of
80 days, .was partially threshed out
yesterday and will be finally deter
mined today. Contention is based on
the question whether the court was
Justified in holding $250 deposited by
Paul Spath for McAlpin beyond the
time when he was convicted and an
appeal taken.
The bondsman, with his attorney,
was present yesterday, asking that the
money be released, but Deputy District
Attorney Deich resisted, and promised
to show that the bail was at the com
mand of the court until final disposi
tion of the case. He will present au
thorities this morning. He also alleges
that Spath did not in fact furnish the
money, but merely advanced it as a
loan to McAlpin's sister.
McAlpin, as keeper of the Bay City
lodging-house, was convicted of ac
cepting a deposit from a lodger and
then repudiating the transaction when
the lodger asked for the return of his
money. Other evidence was offered to

show that the place has been the scene
of much rudeness toward transient
guests. On being convicted, McAlpin
gave notice of appeal and is not now
to be found. It had been agreed by
both sides that the bond was to re
main up, but Spath asserts that it was
his money and that this was done
without his consent.
While the few professional bondsmen
around local courts keep well under
cover and have given no cause for scan
dal, it Is possible for one on the inside
to bilk the authorities under the sys
tem in vogue, and it is often done. At
the best, when a bond is forfeited, it is
necessary to bring civil suit against
the bondsmen, and there are numerous
cases where this has not been done be
cause the bondsmen were not worth
a suit. Cases have occurred where co
defendants have given bond for each
other and both were worthless. Cer
tain unscrupulous attorneys have fre
quent resort to this device and. after
being convicted, give notice of appeal
furnish a straw bond and allow it to be
forfeited, knowing that It is not col
lectible.
FURRIER TAKES STAND
Saul Silverflelr, In Damage Suit,
Denies Malice.
Saul Silverfield, furrier, defendant in
the $25,000 suit brought by Ross C.
Barnes, formerly an employe in his
store, for alleged malicious prosecution
and false arrest, was on the stand in
his own behalf yesterday. He relter
ated the belief, which he expressed at
the time he caused the arrest of
Barnes, that the furs which he found
in the store of a rival furrier, M. L.
Gumbert, bearing the letter "S" were
really his. He declared that he had
acted in good faith in causing the ar
rest of Barnes.
Several of his employes. Including
Mrs. u. Hart, D. a., Applegate and Mrs
Delia Carter, were witnesses In his
behalf. Mrs. Hart testified that Barnes
had informed her that he was going to
leave Silverfleld's employ and engage
in the fur business for himself. Others
stated that . Barnes, as foreman, held
the key of the storeroom and that they
had to apply to him when they needed
materials.
One of the Incidents of the trial
which caused considerable comment
and amusement was testimony to the
effect that Silverfield marked his
goods at the bottom price at which he
would allow them to leave the store
and that he gave his employes a third
of all they could get over and above
the marked prices.
Judge Davis yesterday overruled a
motion for non-suit presented at the
end of the plaintiff's evidence.
