"Toda y " A merica n s ty I.
The first is the titie oC the wasp
like arraignment of modern metropoli
an life whivh came last niffht to the
Heilis.
The second is the trade-mark of its
philosophy. "American style exclaims
the indulgent and fine old-world gen
tleman when hi oi-world wife re
monstrates that there are no babies in
their son's home. "American style," he
says, when he speaks of hi dangfater-in-law,
who.e sowns, hats, jewels and
social pleasures mean- more to her than
the happiness of her husband.
And "American scyle. be sings, when
b- dons his wife's apron and calls him
self "not a. regular man," while be
blips' her sweep.
Play Is Criticism.
The i(ay i flagellating criticism, a
terribly burning rebuke of a certain

certain type of American woman. j
The frvt tha a bi;r audience last
niKht liked the play exceedingly well:
rid discussed it appreciably after it
was over illustrates that occasionally
we da not mind boin nettled or having
our fur stroked the wrong way. Really
it is a distinct relief from being con
stantly netrcd or tickled.
Today" was written by George Broad-
burst and Abraham tfchomer. It js not
oiilv a most excellent piece of play
construction, but it is dramatically of
value, its moments never las nl is
nvei an extraneous move. With beau
tiful smoothness and an incredible
swiftness it moves from climax; to cli
max. ty e Isrtftu I
Ita story tells of a younjr wife, a cold,
fwlftsh little animal, whose typically in
dulgent American husband hs larvi erred
noon her the fortune he has piled up.
The financial world topples Tor just a
moment, catches Its- breath, and wlurfa
on, but in that moment the husband's
fortune is swept away. A fine sense if
honor and the bankrnptry cmirt grinds
into cah for the creditors all their possessions-,
even the wife"s motors, jewels,
furs, their home and its furnishings.
li a modest flat they start anew, girded
about with only the husband's courage
and honor and the loyal love oC his old
father and mother who share the good
and bad luck.
The wife's appetite for the vanities of
social position i nnappeascd. How she
msuifs her husband when he is making
a brave struggle to rebuild his fortune,
and how she sells her honor for finery
when he is trying to clear his name in
the work-a-day world is splendidly re
lated in the play, it all works up to
a terrific climax a tragic act of rec
ompense that leaves the audience
shaken as reeds before a high wind.
Climax I ShtM-klna.
In the beautiful home of a procuress
the husband, as agent for the building,
finds the picture of his wife. To. gain
the favor of the man who holds her
lease the- procuress suggests that she
can arrange a meeting with the origi
nal of the picture ho- sevtmt to admire.
The husband makes the appointment,
and every moment that the girl does
not come strengthens his faith. - Then
she comes. He meets her In the dark.
There are whispered words her laugh
ter and then the light flares up and
she faces her husband a maniac with
murder in his eyes. He drags her to a
window and we hear her death gurgle.
Then the procurers enters. "There
mu?t be no pcandsl, she says. But the
fctusband calls the police and surrenders.
rtfcr Bttou In Lead.
Arthur Fyron, whom we have seen
with Mrs. Kike, plays with vivid force.
He makes the American husband a
type generous in spirit and action, and
when he becomes a financial failure
there is a sweetness, a nobility in the
portrait that grips. It is in the last
act. however, which takes place in the
apartment of the procuress, that he ex
tIs. Tt is in this picturing of agony
that his repressed power rightfully
makes his acting the great big natural
moment of the play. Luke a drunken
man be reels about, his knees refuse
o bear him up. he is vocally paralyzed,
sod it is all so horribly real that we
asn and sit chilled in our seats while
he is led off to prison.
Bertha Mann plays perfectly the self
ish and weak creature of luxury and
Physical content. The foil for the
morally-diseased coterie about the wife
and the struggling husband is fur
nished by the old-world parents of the
young husband. They are transplanted
t.ermaus. Heir Hei.rick Waner. old
and frolicsome and lovable still holds
"mamma'' in his boyhood adoration.
These two characters, intensely human,
spread a benign influence of whole
some honest humor over the tragic cur
rent of the story. Alice Gale, rich
of dialect, and Herman Gerald play the
delightful old German couple.

An interesting vnmpire type is por

say'? lines are particularly clever, full
of satire and revelations of marital
infelicities.
Another study of feminity is splen
didly shown by Marguerite St. John as
the beautifully brvd, artistic, music
loving, poetry-reading procuress.
Two of the scenes, the orchid-toned
dra wine-room of the spider, and the
rose-hung drawing-room of her foolish
little fly are as beautiful as paintings.
The gowns of the women, too. are es
pecially handsome. "Today" is worth

Deelarett Bad, but Sentiment
Imnm'tng.
The jitney is strictly a Western in
stitution, according to C. M. Clark, of
the firm of Clark A Company, bankers,
of Philadelphia, chief owners of the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com
pany, who reached the city Sunday night.
Mr. Clark is accompanied by his wife.
They will remain- in Portland for two
or three weeks looking over- the prop
erty and making plans for the year.
"Broa d 1 y speaki ng." said he, "the
jitney is not in operation east of the
Mississippi River. I mean, of course,
the small auto that is- known on this
Coast as the Jitney. It is the natural
outcome of a great many automobiles
and many men out of work.
"The intelligent opinion of this coun
try at large is that if there is going
to be a jitney service using the streets
at large for gain, it must be regulated
witii the same restrictions exactly as
apply to the streetcar service. Most
pities have passed regulations to which
the jitneys must conform, and they
have done it promptly. 1 have one city
in mind which passed an ordinance
regulating the jitney before it made
its appearance.
"In some states the Legislatures have
the question under consideration. I am
not advised as to their action yet. It
gets to be a serious proposition in some
stales, where there is heavy taxation
of public utilities and municipalities
are likely to suffer.
" Business over the whole country,
aside from that stimulated by the war
demand and the great prosperity of the
agricultural sections aside from those
which grow cotton alone, is bad. Finan
cial conditions arc good. Sentiment
throughout the country is " much im
proved and, don't misunderstand what
I mean by sentiment, because it is one
of tht; most important, elements in
bringing about improved business con
ditions. The enormous and increased
exce.. of exports over imports is bound,
sooner or later, to have a good effect
throughout tho whole country."
Mr. Clark will have a number of con
ferences with President Griffith and
other officials of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company In regard to
operation and improvements of the
property. He will have no announce
ments to make as to possible changes
of any kind until the company councils

Hitherto Untrodden.
MANY CLUBS REPRESENTED
Trip From Bridal Veil Started in
Rain Travelers Spend Xight at

Ridge to Top of Mountain
BY EAKT, R. GOODWIN.
Enthusiasm extraordinary followed
tho blazing of the proposed trail to
Larch Mountain Sunday by memDers
of the Portland Progressive Business
Men's Club and other civic organiza
tions who are interested in tno worn.
Pi-avioua to the iouraey down the Mult
nomah Creek yesterday, only two white
men had gone ever the same lerniu.,.
and that occurred last week: when S. C.
t nnnmilHnz ensrlneer of the
Columbia Highway, and W. H. Hoeffel.
his assistant, marKea out me
the business men to travel
Mr. Lancaster was unable to go with
the party, but Mr. Hoeffel escorted and
guided ua and. showed tne greav 4ii
bllities for the trail. The party, con-aiarvnc-
of 12. left Portland Saturday
night for Bridal Veil, from whence wo
were taken in an auto uuta .u ai....
The four-mllo upgrade waa too much
for the machine at times, and It was
necessary to get out and walk about
three-quarters of a mile.
Start MhIc Ik Rain.
It was raining when wo started, and
it continued in a steady downpour until
about 7:45 o'clock yesterday morning.
After remaining for the night at Pal
mer, Guide Hoeffel started us for the
proposed trail at 7:25 o'clock. After
leaving the camp wo proceeded for
about a milo and a half or two miles
before we eamo in sight of the Colum
bia River.
We hugged the ridge until we came
to Multnomah Creek, several hundred
yards above the intersection of the
stream and East Fork. From the time
the main creek was reached until
Multnomah Falls were at our feet more
than houra were consumed.
Henry R. Hayek, chairman of the
Larch Mountain committee of the Port
land Progressive Business Men's Club,
was loud in his praise of the scenic
advantages that can be derived from
tho proposed trail. The Portland Pro
gressive Business Men's Club has taken
active interest in the work and it is
the plan to ask all other civic organ
izations of Portland to assist in the
construction.
Report to Be Mode This Week.
The Mazamas and Portland Ad Club
had representatives along yesterday
and they are going to report to their
respective societies some time this
week. Chairman Hayek has called a
meeting of his committee to be held to
morrow afternoon and from then on
things will be booming.
It has been estimated that J6000 will
be required for the path before it is
completed and of this amount S. Ben
son has donated halt and the United
States Government has allowed J 1500
to be placed in the fund. The local
clubs have undertaken to raise the're
mainder and so far tho Portland Pro
gressive Business Men's Club has se
cured more than $500. This was gained
at the recent production of "The Whirl
of the World" for the benefit of the
fund.
Plana have it that the trail should
be in first-class working order early
this Summer, and as soon as the bodies
act on the proposition work will start
immediately. R. S. Shelly, a member
of the Oregon Forestry Service, ac
companied the party and made many
notations in regard to the topography
of the surrounding territory.
Ixtaige to Be Built.
At present it is understood that a
lodge will be built on the bluff over
looking Multnomah Falls, and a tower
on top of Larch Mountain. too gov
ernment gave $1000 for the trail fund
and $500 to help build the tower, mak
ing in all $1500. Chester J. iiosue. ot
Hosrue & Foulkes. designers of the Ore
gon building at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition at San Francis
co, will do the planning for the lodse
and tower.
The committee of the Portland Pro
gressive Men's Club which was re
sponsible for the trip yesterday is made
up of Henry K. Hayek, cnuirman; jacoo
Kanzler, J. P. Jaeger. G. F. Peek and
T. H. Sherrard. of the forestry serv

erted in this country it is said that
John R. Mott, a man with Interna
tional reputation as a religious work
er, asked President Taft If he would
not call to the White House a number
of well-known men and women for
consultation on the subject of extend
ing the work of the association In
other lands. The request was granted
with the result that 96 men and women
convened in the ea?t room of the
White House and discussed the matter
with so much zeal that the money, ag
gregating more than $2,000,000, was
raised for the erection of 55 T. M. C.
A. buildings in other lands. Prac
tically every town and city in the
United States with a population of 15.
000 now has a Y. M. C. A. building.
It was in 1S5S that associations
were organised among the college
students an3 there aro now S00 asso
ciations in American colleges. It was
said. Julius Rosenthal, a Chicago
Jew, has become so much impressed
by the practical work of this great or
ganization that he gave $100,000 for the
erection of a building for an associa
tion near his factories In Chicago and
agreed to contribute $25,000 toward the
erection of a $100,000 Y. M. C. A.
building in Chleaso for colored men.
it was brought out. The proposition
was accepted and the building erected.
Then he extended this offer to con
tinue for a certain term of years, to
any other city that would do as Chi
cago hd done. The terms were
promptly accepted by Los Angeles,
Philadelphia and Atlanta.
One of the branches of work engaged
in bv the college association is to pro
vide amusements for the students to
take the place of dancing. Another is
to furnish means of employment for
persons who have to pay their own
wfiv in the colleges. It was said In
the University of California, at Berke
ley, an organization is at work giving
free instruction to foreigners in Berne
lev. Oakland and San Francisco, who
desire to learn the English language.

LONDON", March 15. Captain Malley,
of the Ellerman Una steamer Andalu-
sian. which was sunk by a German
submarine, told the following story of
the loss of his boat.
"Twenty miles northwest of Bishop
Rock the second officer reported a sub
marine off the port bow. I ordered the
engineer to put on full steam and we
got up a speed of 11 knots. The subma
rine, however, gained rapidly on us
and came alongside the Andalusian
and ordered us to leave her In our life
boats. "In embarking in a lifeboat I broke
a rib. The German commander, no
ticing this, invited me on board the
submarine, where I went to the cap
tain's cabin and a sailor bandaged my
injury. The submarine towed our
crew until we were near a British
steamer, which we went aboard.
"1 urged this steamer's captain to
go back and try to save the Andalusian
if she was still afloat. He turned
back and when we came near the Anda
lusian we saw the submarine quietly
sunning herself beneath the stern of
the wreck. She dived as we came
near."
