KEEX IUVALRY IS EXPECTED
large. If you are convicted of this
crime I will sentence you to imprison
ment for life." said Circuit Judge
Oatens to James Waldon yesterday
morning.
Waldon then quickly availed himself
of Deputy District Attorney Collier's
offer to plead guilty and take a
sentence of three to 15 years in
the penitentiary. . He ad milted that
he was with Oscar Johnson in an
attempt to hold up Prank Ruppert's
grocery store at Eleventh and Jefferson
streets. .
Johnson entered the courtroom on
crutches. He had been shot in the leg
in a running battle on the street fol
lowing the attempt to hold up Ruppert.
He was sentenced to the same term as
his partner. '
-Johnson and Waldon have both
served time in the penitentiary before,
and under the "habitual criminal" sec
tion of the code, they must aerve at
least double their minimum sentences,
or six years.
EMPRESS STARS BRIGHT

ITizes for Greatest Number of Xew
Members Increases Interest.
Lively contests between the sub-committees
of the committee of 100. which
is handling the April membership cam
paign for the Chamber of Commerce, are
expected, since three prizes for the

and the chairman of the committee of
fered another umbrella for the third
prize.

-Evea Serves to Introduce Ex-
Baker Players la Vaudeville.
Other timbers Good.
Mary Kdgett Baker and Walter Gil
bert's names illumine this week's Em
press bill, and their work, alongside
with the regular headliner, Marie Rus
sell, proves real drawing cards. Miss
Baker is a talented young artist and
has a. big following .gained through
her conscientious and always clever
work with tne Baker Players. Walter
Gilbert is anotner favorite and the two
were given a personal ovation.
Mr. Gilbert's best contribution is a
song spoken in a spotlight, one of those
philosophical observations on life, and
which . has been introduced into the
sketch. The sketch is In ' no way
worthy of the talents of Mary Edgett
Baker or Walter Gilbert, but it serves
to introduce these folk to vaudeville.
Miss Edgett Baker looks adorably
pretty and wears some smart 'frocks.
" "Even Up" is the name of the sketch.
It was written by Mrs. Harold Sawyer
and Mrs. Folger Johnson of Portland.
Miss Russell's act is done in black face
and she pulls off her gloves to show us
she is white. Southern melodies and
dark-town ballads are in her reper
toire and she sings them with dash and
personality, not forgetting to mention
a good soprano voice and fetching
frocks.
Ray Snow is a ray of sunshine. He
is a double-distilled essence of fun and
spreads happiness as he tells stories
makes satirical observations about
wives and other troubles. He finishes
with a clever reading called "The Door
at the End of Things."
A musical comedy full of pretty girls
and two unusually clever comedians is
"Honey Girls. The men are Earl Cav
anaugh and Carl McBride, who dance
and sing and exchange comedy patter.
They frolic at the seashore and tele
phone from booths to these dancing
girls, and one little maid, Agnes Finlay,
sings delightfully. "Classy and Flashy"
they are billed, and so they all are.
Ed Warren and Toots Francis have
what they call a surprise party and
the audience gets the big surprise, for
what starts out to be a singing act
turns out to be acrobatic dancing of
the whirlwind sort. They are daring
and original. Two white-flannel clad
lads are Arno and Stick ney. In a mu
sical number. One plays the violin
and the other keeps the piano busy.
Their music is happy and makes a hit.
The Frey twins are athletic and
handsome, called the Ben Hur and Mes
sale of vaudeville. In a remarkably
interesting exhibition of wrestling and
feats of their art they close the bill.
A picture of Jess Willard, the new
champion heavyweight of the world, is
shown. It Is the only moving picture
of Willard in the United States, and
shows him In a photoplay called "The
Heart Punch. It brought much ap
plause from fight fans.

land and Elsewhere.
Next Sunday is to be observed in
many of the churches of the United
States as "Peace Sunday." The desig
nation of this particular Sunday was
the inspiration of the clergy of San
Francisco who assembled a few weeks
ago at a union meeting and decided to
ask the co-operation of other cities in
the observance of the day.
April 18 is the ninth anniversary of
the great earthquake and nre that 1t
vastated San Francisco. In those nine
years the city has arisen from the ashes
and has been rebuilt on a firmer plan,
morally as well as financially.
A large percentage of Portland min
isters have signified their intention of
observing the day, and special sermons
and music are being prepared for the
event.
Rev. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity
Episcopal Church, will have an elabor
ate peace day service. Rev. J. E. H.
