ORPHEUM OPENS WITH DANDY BILL Capacity House Enjoys Big Offering With Two Head line Attractions. TELEPHONE TANGLE LIVELY Jfudge Caldwell Scores Hit as Op erator Who Gls Lines Crossed and Antics of Talkers Amuse. "Sweethearts" Is Pathetic Br LEONE CASS BAER. J Beemed like old times again to Bather tog-ether in the name of amuse ment and Bet our feet Orpheumward yesterday. iiKurauve glad hand of greeting- extended to all of us, and the wel come on the mat was all dry cleaned iresn and new. A mess of telegrams, nice congratulatory ones, littered the managers desk in his office, and a general air of unloosened joy pervaded everywhere from the littlest usher who ushed to Madge Caldwell who toD llned the bill. " Madge isn't a top liner all by her pretty self, althouRh she's attractive, and has charms enough to put her there. But she is a sort of means to an end in the big act "A Telephone Tangle. She Is the siren of the switchboard, and as she sings and manicures her nails, flirts with an un- en patron and occasionally answers calls, she gets a half dozen Wires crossed and a half dozen conversa tions are fumbled. Tm.Kled Wire, Tickle Audience. A burlesque queen seeking a word with a manager, a Cholly chap plan ning an elopement with a sweet young thing, a son of Solomon carrying on a business deal with a widow and a darky who haB lost his razor all pour their woes Into the wrong ears. The result is convulsing. Wonderfully clever maneuvers with electrio lights show us the wrong principals talking to each other, and the conversations are made all the funnier because of the pantomime. Miss Caldwell has a lovely voice, which is heard in a new little ting-a-ling hello song. Of joint headline quality is the ex quisite sketch, "Sweethearts," an idyl of tenderest heart interest written by Sir W. S. Gilbert, of beloved "Mikado" and "Pinafore" memory. This little pas toral play has to do with a meeting in a garden between a young girl and her soldier sweetheart. It is the Springtime of their affection, but a misunderstanding sends the lad away to war with his words to the maid un spoken. They have planted a wee tree together, and when he returns 40 years later they meet in the garden under its sheltering branches. The man has forgotten even the girl's name, but she has remembered and wears still the rose he gave her years ago. The lines are subtle in their humor and deli cately interpreted by two master ar tists. Erwin and Jane Connelly. Their creations cf first the gay young lad and saucy girl, and later the age ripened old soldier and the sweet old lavender-and-lace woman, are touching and sincere portraits, faultlessly etched. Pert Retorts Please. Harry Devine as a bon vivant trav f"H6 salesman with all of tho failings and fascinations of that great order, and Belle Williams, who looks like an ad for before-taking obesity powders and puts ') rixie Frlganza off the map, meet on the stage and cut up consid erably. Belle cavorts and kicks her trim heels, and "sasses" the traveling salesman something awful. He gets right back at her with the breeziest, keenest patter and when they walk away they leave only delightful smil insr memories of a dandy act. Wilson and Lenore score, too. Lenore ts a big boochiful doll girl who sings and sorter acts as atmot.phere for Wil son's clever absurdities. He whistles and Charliechaplinizes a bit and had to make a speech of I-thank-youse yesterday. Humpti-bumpsties are Plpfax and Taulo, whose acrobatting activities set the house a-howllng. One is a straight and Intentional gymnast whose work Is marked with brilliance, the other, in too-large clothes, clowns all over the chairs and tables with cheerful bravery despite their near-sulcldal results. Two clever dancers are Albert and Trvlng. chaps with personality in their heels and toes. They lend a new note to their many-sided dancing turn by giving a lot of bright lines to the or chestra director, to throw back to them. The opening is a pantomimic and acrobatic departure in terpsichore. one of the whirlwind variety, offered by Messrs. Brown and McCormack. As for the Orpheum Travel Weekly it is a most excellent showing of interest ing pictures of the world at work and at play. Sermon Thoughts From Portland Churche. - "In all the world none is so wretched and pltirul as he who has never learned to look' up and adore. The background or life is the eternal God, whom to know is everlasting life." This extract from the sermon deliv ered yesterday by the Rev. E. Oltn Kldridge. of the Mount Tabor Method ist Church, followed the statement that the keenest mind is the reverent mind. Ir. Kldrldge spoke on "Reverence as a National Asset." He said: "Reverence is an indispensable qual ity in the progress and welfare of hu manity. The people and Nation that neglect it are on the highway to ruin. Reverence comes from God. and is a splendid tonic for mind and heart. Without it a man is colorblind in a world of matchless beauty and glory. "Reverence gives poise to life and invests us with the sunshine of op timism. The reverent man believes In the greatness of things, and grows frreat himself as he contemplates them. We should respect the feelings of oth ers, even when there is grave fault and Ignorance. This is not to give mistakes a perpetual franchise, but it Is to cor rect them by growth, light and love. No one ever saved another by a sneer. It is a dark life that has no sanctities." "Those who quit worshiping in God's house soon forget God." said Dr. "William Graham Moore In his sermon at the Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. "They cease to pray, they neglect the Bible with its itvtne counsel, they drift into the easy ways of the world. We need the worship of the sanctuary, not only to enable us to resist and overcome temptation, but that we may have a clearer vision and sublimer inspiration for life realities and Its vast possibili ties. In this 20th century the attend ance upon the services are the great safeguards that keep us from absolute absorption in business or in pleasure. About a million of u w.r. ,o. ently of the same opinion, for every Heitn'af,,aken- ut in the lobly Carl A, prominent professional man of this city, nimseir not a member of any church, recently remarked "that It was not a difficult matter for an occupant of a streetcar, on Sunday evening, to tell which crowd was coming from church and which from a show. That, to me, is significant." RICH MAN INFORGER ROLE Detectives Say They Hare Prisoner's Criminal Record for 4 6 Years. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3. Four detectives approached a gray-haired, expensively dressed man as he stood with his wife n..?; crowied corner here this evening. ,,r..lwant you- Earnhardt," said one. Without the quiver. of a muscle the old man turned to his wife. "Well. dear. I eiiK thi. - . end, ,he said, and followed the officers. In the arrest of Earnhardt, after a search of 1 years, the detectives say that they have captured the most dar- 1g' Tsute and successful criminal in the United States. The prisoner, they declare, has con fessed fraudulent transactions which extend over 46 years and which were staged In almost every big city In the country. For 10 years Barnhardt has lived in a magnificent home in Forest City, Ark where he was the leading citizen or the town, director in the largest bank and supposed to be a millionaire. For years Barnhardt has made peri odical trips over the country and re turned eaoh time with thousands of. dollar. The police charge that on each of these trips he obtained large loans on fraudulent deeds. As "John W. Kline," Barnhardt Is! said to have appeared here in 189 and represented himself as a man of inde- STARIX TW0 PopULAR SKETCHES ON OPENING BILL OF OR PHEUM ON RETURN TO BIG TIME VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT. IP (---'- JANE COXSEtLY IN "SWEETHEART TELKPUO.V pendent means. He was introduced to many men in the real estate business. One morning he appeared at the office of a loan and mortgage company. He showed a deed to certain property, anil was so familiar with all details that he had no difficulty in obtaining a $40,000 cash loan. The deed proved a forgery, and Kline was arrested on two charges forgery and grand larceny. He pleaded guilty to the latter and was given two years in state's prison. Barnhardt's system, according to the detectives, is extremely simple. With his striking appearance and a show of ready money, he sought out owners of valuable real estate and told them he wanted to buy property. On the pre tense that he wished to investigate the titles he would obtain the warranty deed. Then a clever forgery of the document would be made, and Barn hardt would appear in a nearby com munity and negotiate the loan. The system has netted the prisoner more than Jl.000,000. the police say, in 20 years. YOUNGEST "COP" WANDERS Chicago "Bluecoat" Transfers Self to See City's Sights. CHICAGO. Sept. 6. Joseph Zak, 12 years old. Chicago's youngest police man, transferred himself recently from the West Chicago avenue station to a beat downtown. He thought there would be more excitement in the loop and wished to see the Eastland and keep the crowds back. Policeman Zak neglected to tell Cen tral detail officials of his move until detectives found him at Clark and Randolph streets, in full uniform and swinging a small club. He had a tin star on his coat and was bossing the crowds In front of tne Hotel Sherman. The detectives escorted him to head quarters and introduced him to Lieu tenant Edward Conrad. The lieutenant fixed Patrolman Zak's hours at from 1 to 5 o'clock every afternoon except Sunday, al lowed him to view the wreck, then sent him to his home at 1231 West Chicago avenue.

Scarcely a single one of the songs, all of which were of the up-to-the-minute popular or always-a-hit va riety, failed to make good with enthu siastic audiences, and attendance rec ords were broken for the engagement to date of the song birds.' , With so much good material, it is difficult to particularize, although probably Frank Confer's ever-popular "Zis for You, Zat for You" secured premier honors.

Conditions in Europe have, however, interfered, and she is now a guest in Portland with the Clartdges, who are old friends of Mrs. Wilson's Son In Seattle. It is her first visit to America, although her political and philanthroplcal activities have led her all over Europe. She is 71 years old, and attributes her fine health and vitality to the keen interest she al ways has taken in work.

A Western man dashed hurriedly into the ' crypt of the Vanderbilt Hotel really the bar room and caused the bartender to raise hio eyebrows before the new- comer had taken so much as nip from a bottle. wee "Give me a dry martini with an onion in it." was his order. The bartender started to mix the drink and was almost certain that he had not heard the onion part of it, and he therefore kept on mixing. "Better .put the onion in before you finish shaking it up," declared the Westerner. "Onion, is It?" asked the bartender. - "Sure," said the Westerner, "that has the olive lashed to the mast." "Sliced?" asked the man behind. "No. a little bit of a round onion," said the peeved Westerner. He got it finally and then said that It was the best onion martini he had tasted since he left Colorado. SENSATIONAL ARE CHARGES 0 Pretty Young Widow Sues for Part of Coal Man's Estate. CINCINNATI.

Then Mrs. Gay sued the estate, declaring she had a child by Mayo. Mrs. Gay seems to think that some one connected with this part of her life has taken her child.

H. ,Boyd Says People Sek Luxury and Avoid Responsi bility and Pressure, Causing Failure of Children. There is no use quareling with a big personality and blaming him for the way the world rolls, for it Is the ordinary man upon whom the censure should fall. This is the contention of Rev. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, as outlined In his sermon yesterday morning-. The masses of mankind are the ac complishing' forces of society, pointed out the minister, who said that democ racy 13 usually pictured wrongly as helpless under the heel of some Morgan or Rockefeller. "The evil of life Is not in the mag nitude of one man, but in the failure of the aggregate," he said. "It is the little man who is making the trouble. The man who drives yon nail, and drives it crookedly; the narrow-minded business man, who employs one clerk or five clerks, and fails as an employer; It's the mother and the father in the home who fail; It's the child shirking the commonplace responsibilities-of fil ial obedience; it's the husband who crosses the threshold and Is untrue to his obligations; it's the little man who does not realize that if the petty things of life were well cared for, the magni tude of the Rockefellers could be easily borne." What's wrong with the world? A unuiversal philosophy of ease, accord ing to Rev. Boyd. "We are in the midst of a genera tion of mankind which conceives pain to be the worst of all evils, and velvety ease the largest of all goods," he de clared. "I.am in sympathy with any thing that will bring peace to this old vexed world, but I confess to an in ward indignation as I hear most of the outcries of peace against war. I did not raise my boy to- be a soldier.' No, poor, flabby father and poor, inverte brate mother! You brought up your boy without devotion to principle, without vision of justice, without ideals of humanity. And you are bringing him up to be a silken fop intent only upon Imitating the graceful and inane actions of the daclng master. That's what we are doing. Afraid of difficul ties, afraid of resistance, afraid of pressure." 2 AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE LIGHTS BLIND DRIVERS OF CARS A EAR SALEM 1 HIRT.

Some employes of the Faneuil Hall Square store of Cobb. Bates &. Yerxa were greatly relieved one day recently when they heard that a package of $419 in currency was lo cated at the office of Postmaster Mur ray, after being missing since August 20. The money in an unaddressed en velope was deposited in the mail, and when it reached the clerk in the main office. Patrick H. Kelley. he sent it to the postmaster. The grocery company employed detectives, and since the loss a few employes were placed under sus picion, but nothing developed to re veal the whereabouts of the package. An employe in the auditor's depart ment was of the opinion, that it might have been picked up in the outgoing mail. The course of the money was traced to the postmaster's office, where a receipt for it was given today by a representative of Cobb, Bates & Yerxa.
