FAMOUS ACTOR IN ROLE THAT HE WILL PLAY AT HEILIG
THEATER TONIGHT.
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

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

have a wholesome effect on the Basu

County Judge Wood, before whom
the hearing was held, announced after
arguments had been concluded that he
considered the interests of Justice

The trial of the case is expected to
come up at the April term of court.

TOKIO, Jan. 13. Earthquakes in the
Island of Kiushiu have resulted in large
loss of life and damage to property. At
Moji, on Kiushiu Railway, 100 persons
have been killed. Many houses in the
town of Kagoshtma, capital of the
province of Satsuma, have been de
stroyed. Last night the entire district
was a terrifying spectacle. The city
was in darkness, the dnly illumination
beir.g the flare from the volcano
Sakura-Jima, which was in violent
eruption.
The evacuation of Kagoshima was
impeded by a huge rock that had been
thrown out by the volcano which
wrecked the rails outside the town.

saloon on Burnside. between Second and

grand jury yesterday by District Judge
Bell, on a charge of permitting a minor
to be in his saloon and to engage in a
game of cards there.
Russell was in court twice last week
on charges of allowing gambling in his
saloon, being arrested by Deputy Sher
iffs following Sheriff Word's instruc
tion to break up all gambling and card
playing in saloons and cigar stores. On
the previous charges Russell was dis
missed. .
Nation's Executive Tells Newspaper
Men Reform Legislation Has Been
Studied During Vacation as
Being Most Important.
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. .

John Lopaez, who was born and
raised in that community, testified that
Riley Cooley passed down the ocean
beach, near Smith River, about eight
miles south of the place where Van
Pelt was shot, about 6 o'clock that
evening, in his shirt sleeves, carrying
his coat on hi3 arm, and asked Lopaez
to direct him to a short cut to Smith
River ford.
District Attorney Meredith, in argu
ing that Cooley be held, told the court
that several of the most important wit
nesses for the prosecution were not
present, owing to the impassability of
the roads Into Curry County at present.
The defense offered no evidence.
Judge John Childs, of Crescent City,

plea that Cooley be admitted to bail.

English Charge.
J. Byrne, who had offices in the Cor

1912, and who advertised himself as a
peerless promotor, who could act as
financial guide for "electric railways,
public utilities, water, timber and in
dustrial and mining enterprises," has
been deported from Buffalo, N. Y, as
an undesirable alien.
"Mr. J. 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.
He went from Portland to Seattle
and was indicted for fraud.
Byrne was brought to Portland, but

from Buffalo that he was wanted badly
there for his connection with a fraud
