R. M. Richardson Crashes Into
Imperial Hotel Grill and
Lands on Table.
BROKEN GLASS SHOWERS
Leap Taken Under Mental Strain,
Due to Overwork and 'Worry,
Physician BelieTes; Man Is
Prominent in Klamath Falls.
Although he had dropped from a
sixth-story court window of the Im
perial Hotel, crashing through a gal
vanized iron screen protecting a sky
light, through the wire-strengthened
giaos. and, finally, carrying with him
an eight-foot square panel of art glass
over the tearoom of the hotel, landing
In a sitting posture on a dining table,
li, 51. Richardson, of Klamath Falls,
sustained no more injury than if he
had walked unclothed through a briar
bush, reported Frederick J. Zeigler,
City Thysician, after making an ex
amination at the Good Samaritan Hos
pital yesterday morning.
The plunge, which was made in a fit
of dementia at 2 A. M., carried Mr.
Kichardson 12 feet from the walls of
the hotel, making it evident that he
could not have fallen. He was without
any clothing whatsoever when he made
the plunge through space.
Overwork ThouKht Cause.
Mr. Richardson is a court stenog
rapher, and for many years was em
ployed in the Circuit Court in Klamath
County, over which Judge H. L. Benson
presided before he was elevated to the
Supreme Bench. JJunng me last ses
sion of the Legislature Mr. Richardson
bad been a Senate clerk, working for
W. Lair Thompson. He is about 46
vein old. about six feet high and
weiehs nearly 250 pounds.
Those who spoke with him yesterday
rieclared that he was somewhat Irra
tional. and that there was little doubt
but that he had become oerangea
trohablv from overwork.
Mr. Richardson stripped himself of
clothes before making the leap. A
Greek employe was sweeping out the
tearoom, when he was frightened bad
ly by the crashing glass and meteoric
descent of Mr. Richardson. As the
iournev ended with Mr. Richardson on
h table too. the Greek employe, too
Yriirhtened to run. stared at the appari
tion. Mr. Richardson was perfectly
conscious.
Prophet" Uuii Clothes.
"I'm a prophet of the Lord. come
down irom neaven, nc amu. "
tome clothesl"
So clothes here. Eat." was the re
sponse of the employe as others rushed
into the room, expecting to find a
corpse. Mr. Richardson was immedi
atelv taken to the Good Samaritan
llo.-pital. where it was reported that
he was not badly injured. There were
nnnnren tlv no internal injuries nor
broken bones, and he was marvelously
free from bruises.
Air. Richardson was quite well known
t the Imperial Hotel and was well
liked, lie took an active part in the
1oint meeting of Oregon and wasn-
ina-toii interests to discuss Columbia
River projects recently. He had not
been drinking, say those who saw him
earlier in the evening.
Repairs to the skylight and art glass
will be made Immediately, according
to Phil Metschan, Jr.
Mr. Richardson had occupied room
67. facing the inner court and on the
north side of the hotel.
JIK. RICHARDSON" WEIX KNOWS
Sinn Who Leaped at Hotel Promi
nent at Klamath Falls.
SALEM. Or.. April 11. (Special.)
T! Jl. Richardson has property
Klamath Kails and is one of that city's
best-known residents. Justice Benson
said today that Mr. Richardson had
worried a great deal since the death
of his wife in Chicago last Fall, where
Fhe was operated upon for cancer. He
has brrn In Portland about three weeks.
Mr. Richardson has only one child, a

SENATOR IS NOT ALONE
w u.
rttlNDKXTKR TAKES ISCAL
(OIHSE, SAY POLITICIANS.
Rvrn Colonel Hoosevelt Said to Be in
Line to Join Many Bull Moose
In Republican fold.
The return of Senator Poindexter. of
Washington, to the Republican fold
after being identified with the Pro
gressives for a couple of years, as an
nounced in a dispatch from the East,
indicates to local Republicans that he
is only following the course usual with
prominent party members who fol
lowed the will-o'-the-wisp of Roosevelt
Ism into the political swamps.
Senator Poindexter has ample prece
dent for his action, it is. pointed out.
It is recalled that Senator Bristow. of
Kansas, while he never left the Re
publican party formally, was an ardent
Roosevelt partisan, but when the Pro
gressive cause waned he was in his old
place. Senator Clapp. of Minnesota,
too. had a similar flirtation with the
new party. lan Hanna. owner of the
Cleveland Leader; Media McCormick.
of the Chicago Tribune: Controller
Frendergast. of New York City, and
numerous others also followed the
Progressives, but later returned to the
Republican fold.
Strangest of all is the report that
Colonel Roosevelt, chief Bull Moose, is
weakening decidedly in his belief that
he can accomplish anything with his
new party, and that he is quite ready
to fall in line again next year, when
the Republican party seems certain, as
forecast by the recent elections, to
triumph at the Presidential elections.
Just how Senator Poindexter will
profit by his return to the Republican
fold is providing food for thought for
Oregon Republicans.

ORCHESTRA IN NEED
Plea for Funds Made at Final
Symphony Concert.
SEASON'S DEFICIT $2500
Closing Programme Is Skillfully
Chosen and Pleases Persons or
All Moods; YValdemar Lind
Success as Director.
BY JOSEPH MACQUEEX.
With the rendition of Berlioz's over
ture "Carnival Roman," the concert yes
terday of the Portland Symphony Or
chestra at the Heiligr .Theater finished
the 1914-15 season of the orcnestra,
bringing it to an artistic, successful
conclusion.
One specially notable feature of the
concert, although it was not announced
on the programme, was an address oy
C. E. S. Wood, in which he asked a
revival of public interest in tne or
chestra to wipe out a deficit or sjsuu
on the concert season Just closed, and
ta nlace its financial affairs on a more
permanent business basis. Colonel
Wnod said he did not ask at this time
tht th monev should be raised by
public taxation, but thought that enough
nrnnpv nnht to be suDscrioeo. oy me
free-will offerings of the people or
Portland, even "if we had to take our
nRiehbor by the throat and rob nim
of 1."
The programme for tnis last sym-
nhonv concert was skillfully cnosen,
and pleased folks of all moods. Walde-
mar Lind was director, ana ne was a
distinct success in that position. He
was quick, energetic and resourceful.
At all times he had the ensemble play
ing of his fellow musicians under his
control. Harold Bayley was concert
master, and he played with splendid
ability.
Tone-PIetare Bright.
The orchestral tone-picture of the en
tire concert was bright and cheerrul.
principally due to the character of the
selections and the manner in which they
were played.
The symphony was the Mendelssohn
"Italian, No. 4. opus 90." It is the
essence of cheerful vivacity, and re
minds one of the sunny moods of a
young girl. Its gay atmosphere is tem
pered by the seriousness of its German
composer. It was the most 'pretentious
number on the programme, and it re
ceived an interpretation commensurate
with its manifest importance and classic
beauty.
The Wagner "Vorspiel" to "Lohen
grin" is deservedly well known and
merits its popularity. Its calm, serious
beauty was deftly visioned by the or
chestra, particularly by the first vio
lins. The Debussy "Second Arabesque" is
more coherent than most concepts of
Debussy. It is impressionistic, and was
skillfully presented.
"Danse den Mllltons" Given.
The Bachmaninoff "Danse des Mill
tons." from the "Nutcracker" suite, is
favorably known and liked as a piano
solo, and is frequently chosen by high
class professional pianists as a show
piece. Its rendition by the orchestra
was creditable, and a theme for flutes
was finely played by R. E. Millard, G.
Meriggioli and H. G. Knight.
Welcome and inspiring was the Bizet
"Suite L- Arlesienne No. 2." It sparkles
with French gaiety, and one pleasant
features of the excellent, musicianly
rendition was an artistically played
oboe solo by F. Starke, with harp
obligato by Mrs. Carmel Sullivan
Powers.
The Berlioz overture also reflected
merry, near-riotous gaiety, ana its
brasses and drum . effects helped to
brine its carnival pictures to the sur
face. It was a fitting musical finale
to the close of a symphony season.
Colonel Wood Takes Platform.
It was about the middle of the sym-
Dhonv programme. Just when tne auai
ence had finished applauding the ren
dition of a favorite number, that
Colonel Wood sauntered to the plat
form.
This is a sort of an Intermezzo.
pleasantly observed Colonel Wood.
"Don't be alarmed, though: I -am not
going to ask you for subscriptions for
this orchestra. inis is aunaay, im,
accordingly I am going to preach you
a sermon. Do you know that the Port
land Symphony Orchestra faces t
deficit of $2500 at this, the close of the
season? I hope to convert this large
mctirur into a committee of one to
go out to the Portland public and
present the advantages of this orches
tra as an important asset to the City
of Portland.
"Now. don't go to Portland million
aires, expecting them to foot this or
chestral bill, because millionaires have
manv calls on them for many interests,
andlookins from the Industrial com..
mercial trade view of things which
millionaires possess, you stand a better
chance of obtaining money from the
people of Portland.
. . Richness of City Cited.
"We claim that this city of ours is
the richest city west of the Rocky
Mountains and north of San Francisco.
We have about 300.000 population.
Now. if only 60,000 of these 300,000
people would give say ?1 for our sym
phony orchestra, they would an
oiin.ltfv as D&trons of music.
"Seattle is musically ambitious, and
Seattle folks plan to take two of the
best musicians in this orchestra to
glorify Seattle musically. Are you go
ing to stand for this? If we do, some
folks are like the porkers that once
stood before pearls and did not recog
nize the latter to be pearls. The
money you people pay at the box office
for tickets to these symp"hony concerts
does not begin to pay the expenses.
Why, these orchestra men haven't
money enough to possess a musical
library, and if they haven't sufficient
music, how on earth are they to give
concerts?"
DE FALCO IS GLOOMY
KVERV PERSOX LIVABLE TO GET
SEAT FIGURED AS MONEY LOST.
Conductor of Opera Company, How
ever, Smiles as He Sees Larse
Audience Drink In Music.
Eugenie De Falco and Luigi Cecchet
ti are the two impresarios of the Ital
ian Grand Opera Company now at the
Baker Theater.
Cecchetti was perspiring as" he
worked hard yesterday afternoon as
orchestral conductor in the interpreta
tion of the opera "Traviata." Between
whiles, as he eyed the crowded house
of opera patrons, he smiled. His man
agerial soul was tickled.
De Falco was of duty, and he sat in
his room at the theater, looking
gloomy.
"It's no use," remarked an exhausted-looking
head usher, "every
seat is taken and we've turned dozens
of people away."
De Falco looked gloomier than ever.
"Why don't we have a larger theater?"
he said. "There isn't any use of that
good money going elsewhere. I once
read of a man who planed an ideal the
ater, made of a substance resembling
rubber warranted to stretch when oc
casion required. We ought to have
had a theater of that description this
trip."
"What size of an audience must you
people have to make your opera per
formances pay?" queried the reporter.
"We have cut the admission prices
so low, almost the prices charged to a
good picture show, that we must have
the theater filled every performance
to make any profit," protested De
Falco.
"My friend Cecchetti and I are just
beginning as opera company proprie
tors, and at first we are going slow in
the matter of prices, to reach the peo
ple. We give them prices within their
reach. We stand for what you Amer
icans call democracy."
"We are much pleased with the treat
ment we have received from Portland.
We nlan to oass elehit weeks in this
city. After Portland we plan to visit
Seattle. Tacoma, Spokane. Salt Lake
City, Denver, Oakland and Los An
geles. Then we sing in Honolulu, and
after that my partner and I propose
to enjoy a short rent. Early next Fall
we resume our opera road tour, includ
ing Portland."
De Falco paused, wnen asaea u ne
was to present any ot tne r-uccini
operas this trip, he said:
"If the people of Portland want any
Puccini operas 'Boheme,' 'Madam But
tergly," 'Tosca,' etc. let them make
their wishes known at tne ooxonice ot
the Baker Theater. The boxoffice Is
our business barometer.'1

Sylvester Schaffer Shows He
Is Truly Wonder for Versa
tility and Artistry.
COMEDY SKIT MAKES HIT
Homer Mason anfl Marguerite Keel
er Get Ovation; Helen Scolder in
Musical Xumber and Other
Acts AVIn Audience. -
The vaudeville star who can put on
one splendid act, cleverly given and
superbly staged, is considered a big
success; but at the Orpheum this week
there is one man, Sylvester Schaffer by
name, who presents ten acts, all of the
best standard. Mr. Schaffer is her
alded as the highest-salaried artist in
the world and he truly is a wonder for
versatility, genius, originality, artistry
and black magic. Each act he pre
sents is staged with great attention to
detail.
His first appearance shows the man's
ability as a card and coin manipulator.
Next Mr. Schaffer appears with brush,
oil paints and palette and rapidly paints
a- picture. Attired as a Japanese and
later as a gentleman of two centuries
ago. he gives exhibitions of juggling.
In the latter act h is assisted by his
two sisters, Misses Stella and Stephanio.
Riding Exhibition Given.
Mr. Schaffer gives an able exhibition
of fancy horseback riding. Several fox
terriers assist in an acrobatic act, an
other offering that received 'rounds of
applause. A forest scene in wntcn
some deer are seen is shown next
While Mr. Schaffer proves his ability
as a marksman the animals unconcern
edly remain on the stage.
The acto rides in a chariot drawn
by two immense dapple gray horses in
another act. Later the chariot is jug
gled and balanced.
A violin solo preceded the finale. In
which Mr. Schaffer is seen as "Atlas.'
Skit Make Hit.
Homer Mason and Marguerite Keeler,
two stage favorites,, are back in Port
land this week. Their offering is "Mar
ried," a delightfully spicy little comedy
in one act A girl who has had a se
vere shock finds hsrself in a strange
hotel. Shortly afterward a man ar
rives. Surprises, repartee, lively dia
logue and happy ending result. The
skit got an ovation at both perform
ances yesterday.
Helen Scolder Charms.
Music lovers were charmed with
Helen Scolder, a pretty young 'cellist
She played three classical numbers and
received an encore.
Al Rover and his attractive sister
gave an act that was unique, breezy
and entertaining. Music and dancing
were the main features. The girl played
the violin well and the man did some
acrobatic feats that were immense.
As a character impersonator Geor;
M. Rosener was a decided success and
got his share of apreciation from those
who enjoyed the all-round good bill.
Up-to-date movies and first-class
music are the additional attractions.
