MANY- COMPLAINTS HEARD Other Officials, Employes, a Book Agent and State Commissioner Take Turns In Keeping Ex ecutive of Line Busy. A vaudeville show that was not booked on any theatrical programme and for which no admission was charged, but which contained the reg ulation "laugh in every line, was staged at the Multnomah Hotel at noon yesterday, with N. C. Soule as stage director. The occasion was the regular bi weekly luncheon of the Portland Transportation Club. Mr. Soule, who was chairman of the day, impressed upon the assembled railroad and steam ship men something of the perplexities that the average operating official con stantly is "up against." To carry out this idea, G. E. Moore played the part of the general man ger of a railroad. .o sooner was Mr. Moore installed at his desk than his troubles began. John C. Albright, his secretary, was able to stall off some of the numerous visitors, but enough got by to keep the general manager constantly busy. Cause of Delayed Train Told. Harry Bastion, who played the part of the signal engineer, reported the cause of a delayed train and inci dentally gave an instructive account of the workings of the familiar 'block signal system. A regular signal tower had been installed in the room for this purpose. H. H. Keck, the car service agent. explained why it was impossible to fill the order of the "Shoestring Lumber Company" for cars, concerning which there had been vigorous complaint The traffic department had promised a type of car that is not in existence. About this time C. L. Florence," im personating a book agent, gained ad mittance to the general manager's inner office and a clever dialogue ensued. J. I. Hemmings, inventor of a refrig erator car that "roasts peanuts in transit," gave a demonstration of his device, and the general manager mean while sent for his tax agent, who tried to explain the cause for a $500,000 in crease in taxes. R. B. Halleck played the tax agent. G. W. McMath, acting as traffic man ager, started to give an oration on the glories of the coming grain crop, but writhed and sweated under the general manager's persistent inquiries into a $200,000 decrease in the fiscal year's freight earnings. Mr. Moore's gruff and blustery tone that he used in addressing his private secretary and other inferiors gave way immediately when he heard the voice of a member of the State Railroad Com mission over the telephone, and he promised. In a mild and gentle voice, to paint all the stations orange, al though he himself had intended to paint them green, and invited the Com missioner on a fishing trip. G. W. Neilson, a typical statistician. appealed for additional clerical help to supply figures demanded by the Inter state Commerce Commission. Finger Bowl Causes Complaint. Then, further to vex the general manager, a passenger complained that a finger bowl supplied to him on one of the company's dining cars had been rudely taken away from him, leaving his fingers unwashed. C. E. Cochran, as attorney, advised that the finger bowl had been supplied as tne train moved from Oregon into Idaho, and that finger bowls were pro hibited in Idaho by law. In future he advised that finger bowls be used for washing faces and hands in those states in which they were allowed and for drinking purposes where they are pro hibited. Although the characters and Inci dents were somewhat overdrawn, the proceeding served well to illustrate the workings of the average general man ager's office, and, while intended pri marily as an entertainment, contained as Mr. Soule promised it would, "food for serious thought as well."

Title & Trust Co. Fourth Near Stark greatest storyteller, lives up to part of his title, anyway. He is a great teller of stories whether the greatest In the world couldn't be decided unless one heard all the others. Bush is a wizard, though, and tells bran new jokes. After, he has worked his listeners into a state of giggling hysteria, he gives an impression of a bibulous dame re turning from Coney Island. His insight into the workings of the feminine mind is uncanny and his shafts of comedy are Bcreams. Brown, who is so thin he says he serves as a model at a spaghetti factory, and a Miss Jackson, bewitching and full of soprano voice. have an act that takes a cake. Brown Is a clubman and Miss Jackson a suf fragette, and their exceedingly smart patter is hung on suffrage. Then Brown shoe-horns himself into an eel-like messenger boy suit and does -a spine less dance. Their duet about a venture into vaudeville gets over great. J. Edwin Crapo. who Is a fine exam ple of physical culture, gives a muscle demonstration in a spotlight against a purple curtain. He is the "Gladiator" in the act, which is further enhanced by the dancing of a "Nymph," an airy, fairy little toe-dancing maid. The two dance together as a finale, with Crapo whirling and tossing the slender little dancer and posing beautifully. The Four Military Maids appear first in smart evening frocks and then change to warlike apparel. They are excellent Instrumentalists and their offerings vary from grave to gay. BISHOP SCAD DING IS ILL Distinguished Prelate Suffering From Pleural Pneumonia. Rt. Rev.
