Kxprdilion Ready to Sail for Nome to Kxplore Vnknown. Area of More Than 1,00 0,0 0 0 Square Miles in Fr Xorth. SEATTLE. Wash., June 30. Vilh jalmur Stefansson, who will sail for Nome tomorrow to tike charge of the Canadian government's Arctic explor ing expedition, was the. guest of the College Club at luncheon today, and made what he expects will be his last address for nearly three and a half years.. He said: "I am going on a strictly scientific exploration for the Canadian - govern ment. There is an unexplored area of of more than 1,000.000 square miles in the Arctic, and we shall try to learn what it contains. If there is land it probably is uninhabited. If inhabited its people must be Eskimos." Steffanson spoke with deep feeling of misrepresentation he had suffered because of his recommendation to the Canadian government that all whites toe quarantined from the Eskimo ter ritory to protect the natives from ex termination by disease. lie said: "I have been quoted as particularly wishing missionaries excluded and have been violently attacked by the Canadian clergy in consequence. I per onally should like to have all civilized people kept away from the Eskimos, who are healthy, prosperous, contented and have as good morals as our own. I thought an appeal to the government to protect the lives of these people needed no diplomacy. "I believed every humane person would approve my appeal. Some per sons might be Indifferent to the fate of the Eskimos, I thought, but it never occurred to me that I would meet active opposition in my effort to save the natives from destruction." WAR VETERANS WILL DINE Colonel Jackson Will Address . Old Soldiers at Luncheon.

As he passed, down the Austy streak on the plain of Gettysburg field that the War Department calls "Confederate avenue," 75 veterans in gray from Richmond lined up to salute, lifted their hats and. raised their voices in "Yl Yi." the rebel war cry- while near by a band burst into strains of "Dixie." Governor Mann made them a little speech. "Peace amongst my countrymen is universal," he said. "Only good feeling -prevails. There is no North and no South, no rebs and Yanks. All Is one great Nation." General Sickles, the only corps com mander of the union Army on the field, was the center of attraction of hundreds of men In gray. He sat on ilie porch of the Rogers house, on the held, near the spot where he was shot. and there stood shaking hands with all those present. . Befora the Southerners left the Ro arers liouse they shouldered the Gen oral, carried him out into the battlefield and stood him up before the -camera lire and moving-picture machines. Half Come From Dixie. Out of the thousands who came in today probably half were from Dixie and tents houth of Confederate avenue, many of which were unfilled before, bustled with excitement. General B. H, A ounff, of Louisville, commander-in chief of the United Confederate Veter ans, came late in the day and became the gueBt of the Pennsylvania State Commission. -Mrs. Helen D.

Butler, Falling to Get In dictment Quashed, Begins Con test in Felony Charge. Fighting" in Circuit Judge K-ava naugh's court before a jury to save his son. H. R. Butler, of Portland, from conviction on a felony charge, which carries with it a penitentiary sentence is Marlon A. , Butler, prominent at torney of Seattle, Wash. Associated with him on the defense is his friend, Robert H. Lindsay, of the same citv. The active part of the defense is being undertaken by the father. He strove in vain yesterday to have the indict ment quashed on a technicality. Judcn Kavanaugh ruled againsr him and then he "buckled down" to a hard light on ine actual trial. , The son is accused of swindling Mrs. Margaret S. Catnelle, an aged, gray haired woman, out of her furniture and $675 in money, -all she had In ' the world. The woman now has a tern porary position at $6 a week in a de partment store. She came here from Hamilton, Canada, about four veari ago after the death of her husband. At tnat time she had about $10,000. She had a contiding nature but little busi ness experience. The result was that she fell prey to one sharoer after another. Finally she was "broke" and was torced to seek employment. One of the men charged with having oetrauaea Mrs. Camelle is C. H. Libbv under indictment for the alleged swindling of another woman. Mrs. Camelle was introduced, to Butler by a wen-meaning woman triend, who was anxious to assist her when she moved from 'a West Side- rooming-house to one on the East Ride." for which she wanted more and better furniture.

MANY DYING FROM THIRST OJcda's 3500 Men, Sorely Decimat ed, Battle for Fortnight, Then Find Retreat From State Troops More- Fatal Than Fighting. NOQALES, Ariz.. June SO. A scant 1000 men straggled into Guaymas on June 25. Their tongues were swollen from thirst, their eyes bulging with delirium, their bodies wounded with cactus thorns and bullets. Leading them was General Pedro Ojeda, com mander of the federal forces in Sonora State. " ,, Such was the result of a fortnight's fighting above Guaymas as related in a belated message to the Associated Press received tonight from San Jose de Guaymas. a suburb of the gulf port town. Ojeda led all that remained of an army of 3500 with which he had marched out' of Guayman to move against Hermosillo. the insurgent state capital. The retreat proved more fatal than the battle. Scattered along the roads between Ortiz and Guaymas, the vic torious state troops were met by in voluntary deserters from the federal ranks. Unable to proceed on the forced march, the sandal-footed sol diers had dropped by the roadside. Hundreds had died of hunger and thirst. Those still alive, their uni forms torn and bloody, begged for as sistance from the enemy. Alany of them were mute from swollen lips" and blind from the desert sun. They begged for water by motions of the hands. Virtually ail the federal artillery, troop trains and hundreds of ifies were captured by the advancing state troois along the lino of Ojeda's retreat. Advices today differed as to the re sult of the recent fighting at Guavmas. State officials insist that the majoritv of the federals have escaped by boat down the California Gulf and that the occupation of the town by the consti tutionalists is assured. New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Ijjric. THE weekly turn of the bill at the Lyric Theater brings a big measure of 'good singing and a lot-of humor even thought" the "Jolly Robbers," the vehicle for it all, does not give the members of the company much of a chance to show their talent. Miss Stella Romig and Miss Delia Romig were the real features of the bill with their specialities. . They sang but two songs, but they made a hit which will make them welcome with the Lyric patrons for some time. The opening number by Miss Ilene Edwards and the Rosebud chorus was also well received. -The selection was "Kentucky .ue" and allowed Miss Ed wards to ex? libit her- personality white the chorus got credit for its part of the refrain and the fancy stepping.- Tiney Snyder, Frank Confer and Fred Bauer, a. trio which has been one of the features of the Lyric, bills for several weeks, again camo in for a good share of the applause through their singing of popular songs. Kate Carlson and the chorus were also good in several entirely new -songs. The play around which the music is placed is the story of two travelers, Lord Allcash and. Lady Allcash, who are passing, their honeymoon in Italy. The lord is played by Frank Confer while the lady is played by Miss Vivian Leota, a charming addition to the Keating & Flood band. Empress. EVERYBODY'S doin' it at the Em press this week-r-joining in making a rattling, rollicking show out of the new bill that opened for the week with the daylight performance yesterday. Porter J. White in a sketch written by his brother and called "Scandal" is the headliner, but . G. Fred Plsano and Katherine Bingham run the sketch a mighty close race for first honors. In fact, if they had a few Vnore second choice and third-choice votes but no, that's politics. Porter in "Scandal" has a sketch that's different. He is ably assisted in working out the -story which ends in a surprise for everybody. The other members of the company are: John C. Tremayn. Harry Stephens and Ade laide Fairchild. Pisano and Bingham, the man as a "wap" and the woman as an Irish Biddy, have a line of patter and music that go rig-ht aiong all by themselves. They end with a parody on "Snooky-okums. Emma Francis, an Orpheum head liner four years ago, is back with three boys this time instead of two, as of yore. She hasn't forgotten how to dance In a male of whirls and the Arabian lads are as agile as can be. The Francis act is an Oriental novelty well worth while. Morris and Beasley, man and woman, go well. It'a a hocus pocus love act with songs thrown in wherever they'll fit. Gus Hibbert and Harold Kennedy, in black face, one working straight and the other in comic mak-eup. tiling a little and dance a good deal, both cleverly.- The show ends with the Booth Trio in a bicycle act that has some new and startling features. Pantnges. OF A sooth and odd's bodkins but they have a good show at Pantages this week, for there are three acts which the press agent honestly could have called headliners, while the other three are well up to average. Two of the three were new and it is safe to say that they will be more than welcome, on their return, while the third, the tuneful Hawaiian serenaders. even Is better than it was two years ago. It was Belle Oliver, the Tetrazzinl of ragtime, who scored one of the great est hits at Pantages for a long time with her rendering of "You're a Great Big, Blue-Eyed Baby" and other catchy .songs. She is so ef f ervescently jolly, plump and wide-awake and above all has such a really good voice that it was no wonder there were encores galore. Her eyes are never at rest, and such big eyes, too. Even a personification of gloom in one of the boxes had to laugh in the end. Coogan and Cox., the long and short of it, rivaled Belle Oliver in popularity with a singing and dancing act. Their songs were new and daring, their dan cing particularly good and their make up excellent, especially the tall one, who appears part of the time as a maiden in a creation of green and red, with a slash or gash much more than the recently prescribed eight inches. -This was another of those acts where the performers were in close harmony and enjoyed themselves all the time in a care-free, irresponsible manner. As a, fitting finale the curtain went up on a beauty spot in the Hawaiian Islands, with a pretty maiden neath the palms and four handsome natives sere nading her. The voices were excellent. the harmony good and the songs dainty and alluring. In addition there were native dances, native melodies on Ha waiian banjo and steel, all most pleas ing. Proceedings opened, after the orches. tra, of course, with the Florenz trio, a tumble and acrobatic act. noticeable chiefly for a clever representation of a wrestling match between Gotch and Hack by a lone member of the three. Followed some ragtime, some classi cal melodies and modern music other than rags by Zalefredo, a violinist with a sympathetic touch and picturesque appearance, and then we had a sketch let entitled "The Police Inspector," a dramatic episode dealing with the ap prehension for murder of one of those sanctimonious leaders in prison reform. Orpheum. IF anyone who doesn't know wants to know why Irene Franklin won the popularity contest in New York, and even left Eva Tanguay far in the rear; if anyone -wants to know why Irene Franklin and her glorious golden-spun hair, her "great big, beauti ful eyes" and her inimitable expres sions belong in a distinctive class the answer is: "Go to the Orpheum this week." .The Orpheum bill this week is exceptionally good. Given a personality that wins in itself, an accompanist in Burt Green, who does his part like second nature and songs that are most human, ap pealing and contagious, . and Irene Franklin simply takes possession of the audience. Miss Franklin Is an American comedienne. Vaudeville was a long time in getting hold of an "American" comedienne," but - hence forth English' music-hall fame will have to face the Missouri jury. Running the gamut of character songs from the ever-famous "red head, gingerbread head" childish delight to the just as famous "Girl From Chllds'," Miss Franklin is one continual stage full of song, radiance and fun. Her voice and her little vocal tricks are not the least of her many charms. Miss F.ranklin has a remarkably large rep ertoire scheduled, and she is generous With it. It includes "Nobody's Baby," "I'm Bringing Up the Family." and her "expressions'" are an act by them selves, f It is a refreshing and welcome re turn that Jo Mclntyre and Bob Harty. the- "Sugar Plum Girlie" and the. "Marshmallow Boy," make. Miss Mc lntyre is just as fetching as Mr. Harty is funny, and from the time they enter until they answer repeated encores, and Bob makes a curtain bluff, the Orpheum patrons bask in the sunshine of their melody and their sweet non sense. The act is also of headline caliber. Theodore Bendix. noted composer and - conductor, brings his symphony players this week. They are Michel Bernstein, Jacques Shore and Arthur Bernstein. With violin, 'cello and piano they give a miniature concert. Inez Macau ley is featured In a comedy, "The Oirl From Chiids'," a playlet with a big theme, in which a woman finds herself as maid in the new home of her ex-husband.

The lines are by Archie Colby. John and Joseph Carson, Swedish athletes, open the bill with a classic athletic act. It Is one of the best, if not tho best, athletic acts of months. Rena Santos, a statuesque singer, is liked In her offering, in which Fred Watson takes part. Miss Santos has a rather rare voice, with a bewitching smile, behind which she. hides a won derful falsetto voice as part of her act. Mr. Watson has a good voice also. Moran and Wiser. comedy boomerang hat throwers, finish the bill with a novelty offering. The act has much merit. DRILL MASTER HONORED ROS.ARIAXS PREPARE TO AT TEND CHERRY FAIR. Portland Society Will Be Represent ed at Astoria Regatta Next Week. . -In addition to making preparations for their excursion to the Salem Cherry Fair on Saturday, the Royal Rosarlans at' their luncheon yesterday sprung a surprise on Professor Robert Krohn, who has had charge .of the Rosarian drill team since its organization a. year ago. The surprise consisted of a handsome watch fob formed ot the Rosarian em blem attached to a silk ribbon. The familiar rose of the emblem is of solid gold enamel. The crown symbol of royalty Is also ' of gold and is en riched with a setting of nine rubies and three diamonds. The whole is sus pended from a golden bar attached. to the ribbon. On the back is engraved the inscription, '"Drill team and mem bers Royal Rosarlans to Robert Krohn, 6-30-1913." His initials ajso are en graved on the" gold bar. The presenta tion speech was made by David MOsessohn. Professor Krohn replied briefly, expressing his appreciation of the honor paid him. The presentation was made in appre ciation of the services rendered by Mr. Krohn in perfecting the work of the drill team so that it has attracted the commendation of every city that the Rosarians have visited, and that in cludes nearly every place of import ance from San Diego to Vancouver. Arrangements for the Rosarian In vasion of Salem are complete. A ape cial train on the Oregon Electric will leave Tenth and Stark streets Saturday noon. The price for the round trip has been fixed at 1.50. A programme for their entertainment has been arranged at the Cherry Fair in progress there this week. Many Rosarlans and other Portland residents will go to Salem for the Fourth of July celebration to be held in connection with the fair, and tney will remain for the arrival of the special train party Saturday.
