Lyric
IX an automobile of the model of
1842, Billy Onslow and Gus Leon
ard crawl onto 'the Lyric stage and
begin tbe round of fun In -The Man
agers." They are the managers, and
they manage everything that goes on
tbout them.
Madge Carreg Is a favorite, too, and
this week adds to her laurels as riaisy
le Vere, a seashore girl, who steps
ut of her character to sing "The Belle
ef the Bathers" and ""Don't You Go."
lorothy Raymond, clad in a smart
white tailored frock, plays the roie of
an adventuress who helps the hero,
who is a sort of half villain, to fleece
the two managers.
Thomas Bundy is the hero-villain,
and plays the part well, with atten
tion to plenty of comedy "business."
JIis song. "In the Managers," with the
chorus in an animated dancing back
ground, is one of the hits. Arthur
Harrison capably plays the role of the
rube sheriff, and has a "rube" dance
to match his whiskers and conversa
tion. Lilyan Mason completes the cast
as an ardent suffragette, who lectures
from benches on every occasion. Miss
Mason contributed to the general
Mlarlty by the rendition of a ditty
about w-hat she saw at a circus.
Prizes are given at the closing of
the dances, the votes being regulated
by the amount of applause each pair
of dancers receives. The dancing con
testants include the Edwards sisters,
Kthel and Ilene, clad in purple velvet
with white fur, who do fancy dancing;
Nellie Angier and Bertha Boyle, who
wear little lavender silk dancing
frocks; Violet Mansfield and Grace
' Tetrtck. one clad in white duck mas
culine attire, and one in pink and
black ballet costume. Puramie Dale
and Mona Carreg, with Miss Dale in
boy's apparel, have a. pretty dance.
Dot Daniels and Alice Mace, two plump
maidens, do a tango, and Mary Mack
and Clara Wayne dance merrily, clad
In libwery costumes. At last night's
performance Miss Mack' and Miss
Wayne were winners of the first prize.
Orplieum.
BLOOMING like the roses she wears.
In "The Birthday Present." Cath
rlne Countiss returns to headline the
Orpheum bill. Personality and excel
lent emotional . power were ever the
charm of Cathrine Countiss who,
though she Is a Texan by birth, la an
Oregonian by adoption, and -because
histrionically she was "discovered"
here. Indlsputedly she is a favorite,
one of the real and lasting ones whose
returnlngs are heralded with joy. She
Is supported by a competent company.
Anita Allen is a French maid with a
fascinating accent. Mac Macomber. a
small boy, plays his- bit nicely, and
John Lott Is Miss Countiss' leading
man.
A picturesque personage is Lillian
Herlein. loaned to decorate the Orphe
um circuit by Lew Fields. She has a
wealth of clothes and is comely. Her
voice is well trained and gyrates about
In a medley of grand opera airs and
modern ballads. Her "adventuress"
song is snappy, new and she sings it
effectively. Another ditty is "Eyes.
Eyes. Eyes." with Anna Held gestures
and optical acrobatics.
Lew Hawkins, the Chesterfield of
minstrelsy, all done up in burnt cork
and queer raiment, returns In a new
monologue, set with songs.
The five Sully are an example of
applied eugenics. Father , and Mother
gully have three talented, toe-tripping
Sullys. who are chips off the' old blocks.
They have'the same variety farce. "The
Information Bureau." that they brought
last year.
A trio of pretty maids, who wear
smart frocks and do "close harmony"
wtth their voices, are the Dolce Sisters.
One of them, apparently the leader, is
big and beautiful, with a rich con
tralto that is full of melody. The
Brads, man and maid, present what
they call sunshine capers. It is an
acrobatic tumbling act with something
comical in every turn and twist.

Katie SSandwina. the handsome Ama

.In monologue and saxaphone eccen
tricities Lew Wells rattles off a vol
ley of brand-new Jokes and adds solos
that prove him an artist of ability. He
is encored repeatedly.
Harry Darcy and Andy Williams., one
a pianist and the other a singer, are a
team of mirth-producers that are well
received. Some of their songs are new,
some are old, but all are well done.
Startling surprises, lots of rapid-fire
dancing, song hits and gorgeous cos
tuming characterize the act of Mond
and Salle. Their finale is a big secret,
so must not be told here.
A Jesting juggler, full of tricks and
good humor is Willlsch, who gabbles
German and English witticisms while
he balances vases of flowers, hats and
tables on his forehead and introduces
side play that is decidedly novel.

tie Are Heported.
TOKIO. Dec IS. The most severe
earthquake in several years occurred
here Monday and was felt over an ex
tensive area. Houses in Toklo and
Yokohama were rocked violently and
the people were greatly alarmed. So
tar as can be learned there were no
casualties and damage was slight.
The yearljt- average record of earth
quake shocks for Toklo is 96. accord
ing to the result of observations ex
tending over 26 years. In the last 50
years only two severe shocks have been
experienced, one in 1884 and the other
10 years later.
In other parts of Japan, however.
heavy earthquakes are common. In
June. 186. in the Senrlku districts

killed; In Formosa in February. 106,

MELBOURNE. Australia, Dec. 18.
Dispatches from Noumea, capital of the
French Colony of New Caledonia, report
that great destruction haa been
wrought by a volcanic eruption in Am
brin Island, of the New Hebrides group.
Six new craters were formed on the
west coast December S. The follow
ing day Mount Minnie collapsed and
many villages were overwhelmed by
streams of molten lava. Most of the
inhabitants sought refuge In canoes
and boats. A steamer rescued 600 of
them.
NAMES WANTED FOR SHIPS
Hill Interests, Building Xcvf Vessels,
May Start Contest.
Wanted Names for the Hill steam
ers that are to ply between Astoria
and San Francisco after January L
1915.
While the vessels are being built
at Philadelphia, officials of the Hill
lines here and at 8t. Paul are provid
ing every detail of their operation ex
cepting a name.
It is not probable that they will over
look this essential detail, bat their
failure to provide names up to this
time gives many persons in Portland
a chance to guess.. Some time ago
Hill officials considered the advisabil
ity of starting a contest and offering
prizes for the best names suggested.
It is understood that L. W. Hill wants
to call one vessel ."California" and the
other "Oregon."
It has been suggested, too, that one
be named "James J. Hill."

CONFISCATION PLEA MADE
Judge Bean Declares Question" Is
Dependent on Kight of Tortlnnd
to Amend Charter as Was
Done at Election in May.
"I might concede that the city has
power to do away with the ten com
mandments within its limits, but that
wouldn't suspend their force," said
Frederick -V. Holman, who with Har
rison Allen, appeared for the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company, In
United States District Court before
Judge Bean Monday.
"There may be a question as to
whether they are in force in the aver
age modern city," said Judge Bean,
gravely.
The remarks were prompted by the
contention of Assistant City Attorney
Ijitourelte that the City of Portland
has power by ordinance virtually to
suspend the action of the state public
utilities act no far as it applies to
the Internal affairs of the city.
The attorneys were arguing the de
murrer of the city to the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company's
bill of complaint. asking for an
injunction against the recent slx-for-a-quurter
fare ordinance passed by the
City Council. The ordinance was to
have become effective December 5, but
the company obtained a temporary
restraining order from Judge Bean
December 2.
State Law la Question.
Whether or not the city by ordi
nance can set aside within its cor
porate limits the operation of the
public utilities act, substituting there
for an ordinance enacted by the City
Council or by the people, was the
Issue on which the opposing attorneys
locked horns.
The public utilities act provides a
maximum fine of 810,000 for violation
of its provisions, one of which is that
traction and transportation companies
may charge no more or no less than
the rates filed by it with the State
Railroad Commission. These rates, as
filed, nrovide for a Btralght 5-cent rare.
or for the issuance of books of 60
tickets for 2.25.
The new city ordinance, requiring
the selling of six tickets for 25 cents,
provides a penalty for violation of 8100
for each offense, with a limit of $1000
a dav: and SO days' imprisonment for
officers or conductors of the company
for each offense.
"Thus, vour honor, you can see that
we are between the devil and the deep
blue sea." said Attorney Holman, in
commenting on this phase of the ques
tion. "If we obey the State Railroad
Commission, we are fined by the city,
and if we obey the city we. are fined by
the Commission.
. Conflscatloa Is Charged.
The traction company contends that
the citv is acting without authority.
and that the ordinance, which it de
clares will reduce its revenue approx
imately $380,000 a year, is confiscatory.
Attorney I.tourette. for the city, ar
gued that the assertion that the new
rate would reduce the company's rev
enues $380,000 a year is suppositious,
and therefore not sufficient cause for
granting the injunction.
"All the company has to do," assert
ed Mr. Latourette, "Is to file the new
rate with the State Railroad Commis
sion and sell tickets in compliance
with it. Then it will not be in conflict
with the public utilities act."
Judge Bean said that the principal
question involved is whether or not
the city can amend its cnarter, as me
Portland charter was amended by the
vote of the people last May, suspending
the public utilities act witnin tne city.
"If the city's contention in this case
fa correct." he said, "then the utility
act. Insofar as municipal affairs are
concerned, is of no avail. Bvery city in
the state could follow Portland s ex
ample and get out from under lt." .

MAHAN URGED TO RUN
SALEM RANCHER HOPE OF PRO
GRESSIVES FOR GOVERNOR.
Lawyer and Parmer Editor Haa Record
lor Activity In Tryins to Chan
Political Metlioda.
SALEM, Or.. Bee. 1. (Special.) L.
H. McMahan. a prominent rancher and
lawyer of this city. Is being urged by
his friends to make the race for Gov
ernor on the Progressive ticket. Mr.
oh.n admitted today that he was
considering the proposition, but de
clared that it would be some time Be
fore he reached a decision. He was a
Presidential Elector of the Progressive
party last year and led the ticket.
Mr. McMahan was editor of the
Woodburn Independent, this county, 25
years ago, and subsequently started the
Daily Independent in Salem. Severing
his connection with that paper, he pub
lished "McMahan's Wasp," which old
timers say lived up to Its name. After
giving up newspaper work he practiced
law until five years ago, when he be
came a farmer, devoting much of his
attention to fruitgrowing and the
raising of swine.
Mr. McMahan was instrumental in
having an investigation by the Legis
lature of the penitentiary several years
ago. and brought suit, as a taxpayer,
against ex-Secretary of State Dunbar
to collect fees alleged to have been
wrongfully withheld from the public
funds. He got Judgment in the lower
court for more than $100,000, but the
decree was reversed by the Supreme
Court, which decided that the fees did
not belong to the state, but to the per
sons who paid them. Itwas current
rumor at the time that the decision
caused Mr. McMahan to close his law
office and become a farmer.
the rooms. When the oocupants, Julius
Hellbron, Samuel Bessinger and Carl
Hilbronner, returned home, they found
the doors locked and had to summon
the Janitor to get In.
Detectives Grlslm and Hill were sum
moned, but a search of the premises
showed that every nook and corner of
the rooms had been ransacked, and
nothing had been taken.

Krohn here by serving a writ of at
