on the good results from woman suf

Tiot have missed tor a good deal.
She was especially applauded when
Fhe said: "I don't think that being in
politics has made me much different
from other women. Perhaps it has

ut I still like to have a pretty rose

Mrs. Maria L. T. Hidden has left the

Joined the Democratic party. She occu

Misguided Leaden, Political Ao
clate of Lincoln Returns,
Levi w. Myers, who was one of the
candidates for Presidential electors on
the Progressive ticket in 1912. reg
istered yesterday as a Republican.
"In returning to the old party I want
my friends to know that I do not yield
one lota in the progressive principles
that caused me to leave the party four
years ago. But I believe that the Re
publican party now has been purged of
the misguided leaders that caused the
Progressive party to spring up in 1912,
so there is no present need of the new
party.
-'If the Republican party nominates
a man of progressive tendencies at
Chicago, a man like Hughes or Roose
velt or Cummins, he will be elected.
But as sure as they nominate a re
actionary President Wilson will be re
elected." Mr. Myers is 86 years of age and is
one of the oldest Republicans in the
country. In fact, he was a Repub
lican before there was a Republican
party. That is. he advocated the prin
ciples upon which the Republican party
was founded, back in the early '50s.
He was editor of an anti-slavery paper
in Illinois when it was dangerous to
advocate opposition to slavery.- His
fearlessness on that issue brought him
into prominence at the time. He was
a political associate of Abraham Lin
coln in those days and attended sev
eral conventions with him.
With the exception of his drift to the
Progressive party four years ago he
always has maintained his party reg
ularity and is proud of his record.

latest taken of him and his little daughter, Gwendolin. or "Peg o' My Heart,"
as she is endearingly called by her father. Mr. McCormack remains a modest,
unspoiled, natural human being and is truly the "big brother of the family."
Now, at the age of 31, he has the distinction of holding all records for attend

FALL I'TO DETECTIVES' TRAP.
Fake Jewelry ConffMcated When Kirt
Street Storekeeper Was to Become
Owner on Payment of 950.
Two confidence men. who said they
were tailors, were arrested yesterday
by Detectives Koyle, Vaughn, Hellyer
and Tackaberry in a well-planned de
nouement. The pair specialized in fake jewelry,
say the detectives. Several days ago.
it is declared, they made the acquain
tance of -George Weinstein. a store
keeper of 319 First street. They showed
him purported treasure in the form of
flashy jewelry, set with stones which
they assured him were diamonds of
the first water. For- a number of
studs, earrings and other trinkets a
bargain was struck. Weinstein was to
pay them $250 for the Supposed gems.
The prospective purchaser confided
the proposed transaction to the Detec
tive Bureau and the surprise was
planned.
The expected victim led the confi
dence men to the United States Na
tional Bank, and drew out the required1
currency.
Arrived at Fourth and Pine streets.
one of the men walked arounA the
block, explaining to Weinstein that
he was going for the jewelry. He re
turned. The money was produced, the
gems glittered also the eyes of the
operators. Then the four officers
sauntered up and closed the comedy

lery preparation, but were easily re
pulsed. Two hours later the Russian
artillery began shelling the German
positions furiously, especially south
ward of Wichnevskie Lake and north
ward of Postavy. Nevertheless, the re
sults of this drum fire were remarkably
slight.
Thereupon the Russian infantry
pushed forward in thick masses to
within range of the withering fire of
the German machine guns, which
played terrible havoc with them. The
Russians fell in heaps. None of them
lived to reach the German entangle
ments, although, the lines range only
between 80 and -400 yards.
Southward of Narocz, where the Ger
man line bends, making flank fire pos
sible, 3000 Russian dead were counted.
The Russians continued their attacks
there all day, but .made no further
serious attack at Postavy after their
first repulse. Notwithstanding this de
termined fighting, the report says that
the Russians are showing less than
their former recklessness in sacrific
ing troops.
The German losses are described as
astonishingly slight and the spirits of
the troops are excellent, there being
a sense of relief in the serious work
after a long period of inactivity.

BERLIN, via London. March 20.
The Russian offensive which began
last Friday is, according to dispatches
from the eastern headquarters, evi
dently a serious attempt to relieve the
pressure at Verdun. Between Lakes
Dreswlaty and Wichnevskie the artil
lery began range finding Friday and
infantry attacks began Saturday morn

section of the front.
Northward of Postavy and at several

There's not one dull moment on
Pantages" bill, and not one act that
doesn't please to the uttermost. The
headline is a musical comedy with a
consistent plot, and there are other
numbers good enough in quality to be
headliners.
The Boarding School girls present
an animated picture of schoolgirl life
that is true to facts. Tommy Allen, a
clever girl of the Charlotte Greenwood
type, is the hoyden of the school, and
there are four others. One of these is
a modest little violet sort and it is in
her room that the happenings occur.
The girls come in to have a "spread,"
and a big, bold man in evening clothes
accidentally gets in. The girls sing
and dance in pajamas and keep the fun
a rolling until the principal comes.
Then there's hidings in closets and
under beds, with naughty Tommy Allen
getting soused on ginger ale and en
livening the scene. The act is really
one of the keen, clean, merry sort, the
singers and dancers give good accounts
of themselves, and Miss Allen is too
clever for mere words.
Frank Huyler, as the man in the
case, is entertaining. So is Gene Pol
lard as the lady principal and one lit
tle bitsy girl with a lispth.
. Fletcher Norton and Maud Earl, for
mer Orpheum stars, delight with their
bright little song sketches with dance
trimmings. They present a dream of
tango, a brilliant bit called "The
Coster's Serenade," and a clever com
parison of dances in the minuet days
and in modern times. They are excel
lent dancers, with new steps and a
Joyous care-free method.
A delightful act, presented bv two
genuine artists, is that of Reed and
Wood. The former is a basso, whose
splendid ig voice brings rounds of
applause. Miss Wood is versatile, and
sings a bit, dances, too, and plays the
piano in fine style. Their act is full
of pleasant surprises and has a person
ality punch.
An act that brings smiles and rouses
much enthusiasm is a sketchlet called
"The Misery of a Hansom Cab," with
Al Field, a clever comedian, appearing
as a cab driver; Arthur Jarrett as his
fare, and Eddie Voss as the front legs
of a polka-dotted calico horse. Mr.
Field has a lot of new chatter and the
act is refreshing and funny. !
v Anita Heyman sings high-class bal
lads in a sweet high soprano.
Opening the bill are two extraordi
nary acrobats. Cook and Rothert. They
offer a departure from the usual in
acrobatics and unload a lot of comedy
in their act.

DEATH BLAME IS FIXED
Coroner's Jury Considers Lack of
Protection From Power Wires.
The Coroner's inquest into the cause
of the death of Emil Gustafson Thurs
day, was held last night in the Public
Morgue and the jury returned a verdict
that "Emil Gustafson came to his death
by accident last Thursday afternoon as
a result of coming in contact with a
high yoltage wire on a pole at Twenty
sixth and Nicolal streets. We. the
Jury, further recommend that some ac
tion be taken as to the cross arms,
that low tension wires shall not be less
than eight feet from those carrying
high voltage."
It developed during the inquest that
there is no pole inspector in Portland
and that no protection is offered those
who find it necessary to climb poles
with high voltage wires. Chief Deputy
Coroner Smith, had charge of the inquest.

Pullmac Exercises Are Xext.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 20. (Spe
cial.) In honor of Dr. Henry Suzzallo,
the vigorous irnd scholarly young edu
cator, who has taken the presidency
of the University of Washington, there
gathered today in Seattle from all sec
tions of the United States leaders in
the intellectual life of the Nation to
participate in the ceremonies incident
to his formal inauguration. The cere
monies here are to be followed by
similar exercises at Pullman, where
Dr. E. O. Holland, who. like Dr. Suz
zallo, is a young product of Columbia
University, will be installed into office
as president of the Washington State
College.
Among the distinguished college
presidents from the Pacific Coast who
are attending are Prince Lucian Camp
bell, president ' of- the University of
Oregon; Ray Lyman Wilbur, newly
elected president of Stanford, who was
a schoolmate of Dr. Suzzalo at Stan

man. The formal inauguration will be
tomorrow afternoon in Meany Hall on
the university campus.
Participation Is General.
Today was and tomorrow will be a
holiday on the campus, and students,
faculty, regents, alumni, friends of the
institution and Governor Lister himself
are participating in the ceremonies.
Governor Lister, who presided at the
welcoming exercises today in Meany
Hall, took occasion in introducing

eon in the Butler Hotel cafe, where the
central feature was an address by Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University, who is guest of
honor at the inauguration ceremonies.
Speaking to the alumni, Dr. Butler
said:
"A university is not a material thing
set out on a campus. It. is a spiritual
thing, a conception, an ideal. The
alumni voluntarily become members ot
the university and that membership is
something which can never be termin
ated or surrendered. You are not only
members of the university; you have
become members of the great uni
versity historic tradition."
Women Are Guests.
Late in the afternoon wives of visit
ing delegates, the women of the faculty
and alumnae of the university were
guests of the university at a reception.
The exercises of welcome held in
Meany Hall , were simple and impres
sive. Forming in the basement at 2
o'clock, the academic procession, com
prising the deans of the colleges and
schools, professors, associate and
assistant professor and instructors ar
