BY LEONE CASS BAER. Distinct and noteworthy is the place occupied by "King John" among; the historical playa of William Shakes peare. While historians agree that itj t xuia next in quality to iving nenry IV" and "Kins Henry V," and while the sorrows and death of the young Prince Arthur probably have brought forth more tears than any of the tre mendously sad stories with which' the Tudor drama abounds, it scarcely has been a favorite with actors. - King John is a character powerfully contrived and drawn with a firm, fine hand, but few actors have dared essay the part. They have hesitated, ap parently, between King John and that other splendid acting role, Faulcon brldge. Robert Mantell. who opened his week of Shakespearean repertoire last night at the Heillg, has the sublime courage of his dramatic convictions. His pro duction of "King John" was highly sat isfying, contemplated from the acting, and scenic standpoint. "King John" contains, in addition to a great many subordinate characters, each a masterpiece in his small way, four dominating characters of the high est order. These are, beside King John himself, the illegitimate Robert Faul conbrldge, the young Prince Arthur and his mother, the widowed Constance. Despite the known truth that John, this worst of the Angevin Kings, is too infirm in spirit and lacking in purpose and that he is too despicable and wholly pitiful to be the pivotal figure in the story's action. . Robert Mantell makes him memorable makes us feel even compunction and a wee bit of sympathy for him. His dying scene is intensely dramatic, and the lines in which he unburdens his mind to Hubert de Burgh concerning the murder of Arthur pas sages that are truly the most wonder ful psychological study in the range of Shakespeare's drama are made vibrant and climacteric Fritz Lelber draws a fine picture of Faulconbrldge a character in the story who makes ample amends for John's shortcomings. Mr. Lelber por trays this turbulent buoyant and mar tial spirit, the reckless daring and deviltry of this most devoted and patriotic of warriors, with passionate grace and a vehement utterance. A San Francisco actress, Thais Law ton, who has leaped into prominence in New York the past two seasons, is Constance, a role that has been called the "jewel of King John." Of all Shakespeare's gallery of queens. Constance Is perhaps the most intensely, dramatic. Miss Lawton en tered wholly into the role. Genevieve Hamper was Prince Ar thur. She is slight and young, and Beautifully fitted the role. Meltingly irresistible, she made her appeal to Hubert, and the harrowing scene in which Arthur's eyesight is to be de stroyed was one of great pathos. John Burke was Huber. Ucnevleve Reynolds, an actress of distinction, excellently played the role of Queen Elinor, mother of John. Guy Lindsley, as Lewis the Dauphin; Ethel Mantell. the remarkably pretty young daughter of Mr. Mantell as Blanche, and Walter Gibbs, as Phillip, King of France, .were other important players. Tonight Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's "Richelieu" will be given. MURDER, TRIAL TO BEGIN Jfurry Clark to Answer . Charge at Oregon Cily of Slaying Indian. OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 12. (Spe cial.) Harry Clark will face triai in the Circuit Court tomorrow on the in dictment charging him with the mur der of the Indian chief, Henry Yelkis, near Molalla several months ago. According to Sheriff Mass, the two were seen together last and witnesses are said to be prepared to testify that the two had quarreled. The footprints by the side of the body, when Yelkis was dragged across the road, were those of Clark, it is said, and the shoes that he had. on at the time of the ar rest fitted exactly into the marks on the. dusty ground. Yelkis was the last chief of the Molallas,. ' re ft hi: ' ii; r ! V " 3 if V . Cjv ROBERT B. HANTELL AS RICHELIEC.

TROOPS GATHER ON RAND Capetown Bears Appearance of Be sieged City Squads of Basatos Are Escorted to Borders of Native Settlements. CAPE TOWN, Jan. 12. Quiet prevails throughout South Africa tonight, but this may be a lull before the storm, as incoming ballots from various cen ters make it practically certain that a general strike will be voted. Ballots received from the miners along the reef favor a strike and the various trades, including shop assistants, ware housemen and clerks in Johannesburg, have voted similarly. The feeling is growing in Johannes burg that the situation is becoming more serious.. The Cape Town harbor workers have been officially called out by the union, but their response will not be known until tomorrow. A bal lot by the Johannesburg branch of the Typographical Union has resulted by a large majority in favor of a strike This probably means that the people of Johannesburg will have no news papers tomorrow. "v Retrenchment Brings Strike. If a general strike is. called, it will be out of sympathy far the strike of the railway employes, many of whom have abandoned their posts. The strike of the railway men is said to be due to the policy of retrenchment put into ef fect by the South African Railway ad ministration, in pursuance of which hundreds of employes in Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Durban. Salt River and elsewhere have been dismissed. Strikers demand the cessation of this policy of retrenchment and the rein statement of dismissed men. They argue that the administration's real motive is to force wages down, as shown by the fact that some of the dismissed men have been offered other billets at reduced wages. It is estimated that there are 20,000 armed men on the Rand, most of whom have come prepared for a campaign like those which made the Boers so long the despair of the English Generals. Military Display Impressive. Cape Town today also bore the ap pearance of a besieged city. A great mass meeting of workmen' was held tonight without disorder. The impres sive display of military Is likely to have a wholesome effect on the Basu tos, squads of which continue to be escorted to the borders of the native settlements under armed white guards. The government is perfecting its plans for handling a general strike. should one be precipitated, and all the towns in the disturbed area have been placed under the protection of troops. Citizens are offering to serve as spe cial police. Reports from different districts are conflicting, but the general opinion is that the situation has grown worse Meanwhile' the government is withhold ing the proclamation of martial law until the last moment. burg, and J. Huntley, of Goldbeach, were also present In Cooley's behalf. County Judge Wood, before whom the hearing was held, announced after arguments had been concluded that he considered the interests of Justice would be served by holding' Cooley to the grand Jury, but in admitting him to bonds. The trial of the case is expected to come up at the April term of court. DEATH GUIDES LOCOMOTIVE Engineer of Fast Milwaukee Train . Expires at Throttle. SEATTLE. Jan. 12.

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Charlotte, N. C. Jan. 12. Anti-trust and rural credit legis lation are considered of paramount and immediate importance by President Wilson. Although the Influence of the execu tive will be exerted In behalf of other measures as well during the present session of Congress, he indicated today in a conversation with newspaper cor respondents aboard his train that in the immediate future these subjects would occupy the forum of public at tention. Vacation Used for Thought. The President clearly showed that these reforms in particular had been on his mind during his vacation. Be sides sketching his trust message, which will be brief, Mr, Wilson studied the report of the commission that went abroad to study rural credits. He examined also a bill on the subject pre pared by Senator Fletcher, chairman of the commission, and said he bad writ ten the Florida Senator asking him to confer with him about it. The President remarked that the bill seemed sound in the main, although he thought some additions should be made. - In giving his attention to the trust and rural credit questions the Presi dent feels he is carrying out not only the promises made in the party plat form, but is fulfilling an informal understanding with members of the Senate and House who sought to bring the subject of rural credits into the discussion of the currency bill and to prohibit interlocking directorates and other trust evils by provisions in both the currency and the tariff bill. Trust Message to Be Read. The President is planning to devote the remainder of the week to consulta tions with members of his Cabinet and leaders in Congress and will read his trust message to a joint session next Monday or Tuesday. The President said he was unadvised on late developments in the Mexican situation. He seemed somewhat an. noyed that Charge O'Shaughnessy should have been drawn Into the lime light recently in press reports that the Charge was not in harmony with John Lind and the Washington Administra tion. The President had pointed out pre viously that when Mr. Lind visited him the work of Charge O'Shaughnessy was mentioned only in the most favorable terms. The train ride today was a restful one for the President . and his family. Few stops were made, but at many of the towns and cities the special was run through slowly while the President stood on the platform and waved his hat in response to the cheers. The President will arrive in Wash ington early tomorrow. . J. BYRNE IS DEPORTED "PROMOTER," WITH PORTLAND RECORD, SENT FROM BUFFALO.

Byrne presents his compli ments and begs to say that he and his secretary have arrived at the Portland Hotel, and would be pleased to arrange an appointment," ran the card which Byrne mailed broadcast to prospects on sis arrival in Portland. The card gave alleged London and Paris bank ing connections. Byrne's system was to get an ad vance fee of as large an amount as possible from a prospect to pay his ex penses while examining and promoting enterprises. He was so successful that he maintained a suite of rooms, first at the Portland and then at the Mult nomah, and cut quite a dash among the spender fraternity.
