Miss Jole Power. Once again local talent comes to Portland. This time it is Jule Power, who was born in a little cottage at Fourth and Yamhill streets, the present site of a large hardware establishment. Miss Power was a schoolmate of Jules Eckert Goodman, the playwright, at the Ladd School, and later was graduated from St. Mary's Academy. Miss Power declares that she owes her start in the world theatrical to George L. Baker, who had faith enough in her to give her a chance with his stock company in the old theater on Third street. As Love in' Edward Davis' alle gory, "The Kingdom of Des tiny." at the Orpheum this week. Miss Power is rejoicing in the greatest part of her career. view its work.

COX LATEST VICTIM Citizens, Police and Mtanicipal Court Co-operate to Put an End to Reckless Driving1 on Streets of Portland. JAIL SENTENCES FOR SPEED ERS IMPOSED BY JUDGE STEVEXSOS'. . Wencel Webber, baker, ten days for speeding motorcycle and knocking down old man; serving time. W. R. Anderson, medical stu dent, five days for speeding through traffic district while under Influence of liquor; ap pealed. F. W. Houghton, auto dealer, five days for going at rate of 60 miles an hour on Williams ave nue. A. B. Cox, painter, five days for speeding motorcycle on Williams avenue. Under belief that reckless speeding of motor vehicles can be broken up by a consistent policy of severity In aggravated cases. Municipal Judge Stevenson Imposed yesterday his fourth jail sentence within a week for av. offense of this character. The defend ant was A. B. Cox, a young painter, who was caught by Patrolman Gould stone, going down Williams avenue at the rate of 50 miles an hour. He had covered more than 10 blocks at this rate when the officer checked him. Cox admitted that he was beyond the limits and that he knew it. He said his motorcycle was in such a condi tion that he could operate it only on the high gear. Impressed by the scores of killings and malmings which have occurred in the city-in the past few years through unwarranted sueed of motor vehicles, the court is determined to break up the practice, and in the month of his tenure of office has shown a higher level of severity to these offenders than any other class. He is co-operating with the police, who are checking the speed of vehicles every day, and has the assistance of citizen automobillsts who have, constituted themselves a volun teer traffic squad. Jail sentences for this offense within the past month equal in number all that were imposed previously In the whole history of automoblllng. The generous limits of the rate of speed allowed in Portland are an argument considered by the court in holding all drivers se verely to the regulations. PAWNBROKER IS PUNISHED J. Asher Fined for Taking Tools of Habitual Drunkard. For advancing money upon the tools of a drunkard who had just been granted probation by the court, J. Asher, a pawnbroker, was given, in Municipal Court yesterday, tiro alterna tive of returning the pawned articles without charge or submitting to a fine. The complainant was Mrs. Frank Her ald.
