J ) Officers pf the Anti-Saloon League Sre considering the advisability of this move. They propose, possibly, to bring the situation before the Attorney-Gen-J f ral of the state in the hope of bring : Ing the proceedings in the name of the - State of Oregon. The last Legislature ( made an appropriation of $7000 to aid the state officials in prosecuting viola- ions of the prohibition law. ' , In the event that the state officers I decide that It in inadvisable to act it is '. probablethat the Anti-Saloon League -will start proceedings on its own ini :. tiative. " - i Ample precedent for sucn. action is contained, it is said, in the decision rendered by the circuit court of ap- - peals for the Fourth circuit in the state " of Virginia last year. Virginia Case Cited. - In granting an injunction in a simi . lar case in that state the court made 'Use of the following words: . " ' "it makes no difference that the United States mail was used for the solicitation. The Federal Government does not protect those who use its mails "to thwart the police regulations of a .state made for the conservation of the welfare of its citizens. The use of the '-mail is a mere Incident in carrying out tlie illegal acts and affords no more protection in a case like this than a like use of the mails to promote a criminal conspiracy, or to perpetrate a murder by poison, or to solicit contri bution of office holders in violation of the civil service law, or to obtain goods tinder false pretenses." The Oregon law, passed by the Leg islature, prohibits the use of advertis ing matter, either through the newspa pers, through the mail or on billboards for the purpose of sollciUn-r the patron age of those who would have liquor shipped into the state in the limited quantities permitted under the same statute. Mailing- Lints Prepared. The liquor dealers at San Francisco and other points, before the law went Into effect, prepared mailing lists of prospective patrons. At regular inter vals they mail catalogues and price lists. As this literature is mailed from points without the state, prosecutions cannot be had under the Oregon statute. It is proposed now, however, to bring injunction proceedings in the Federal courts in California. Most of the liquor literature received in Oregon in the last three months has come out of San Francisco. Another house, at Hornbrook, Cal., . has been more or less active, also, in this con nection, but by far the greatest volume of printed matter, as well as the great est volume of liquor shipments, have been from San Francisco. Officers of the Anti-Saloon League, as well as members of the Legislature that passed the prohibition bill, declare that the intention of the law Is not to permit circularization of the people of Oregon in solicitation of liquor sales at all. The practice of sending such circu lars through the mail, even from out sice the state, they protest, is a clear violation of the principles of the-statute, and their proposed injunction, they say, will determine whether it Is a vio lation of the letter as well. School Statue Arrives. .Thomas Jefferson, in bronze, the statue purchased partly by funds raised by the students of Jefferson Ifleh School, to be placed in that in stitution, has reached the city and will be shown at the Art Museum until it it permanently located on the campus of Jefferson High.

Columbia "The Moral Fabric," "Wife and Auto Trouble." Majestic "A Wife's Sacrifice." Strand "The Flirt." Peoples. HAZEL DAWN Hazel at her at tractive best is the headliner on the current Peoples Theater pro gramme, the erstwhile musical comedy star appearing in "The Saleslady," a Paramount offering which gives the sunny lass an opportunity to smile her way into the hearts of filmdom in many guises. Hazel is a country girl, a home less and friendless waif in a big city, then a department store , worker a saleslady then a chorus girl, and fin ally a stage star. "The Saleslady," aside from the gen eral attractiveness of Hazel Dawn, is noteworthy for two reaaons. It gives the public a glimpse of a department store at high-tension activty and pre sents musical comedy scenes of gor geous costuming. Then, too. Hazel, who was wont to appear on the stage with a violin tucked under., her chin, has introduced the instrument Into the movies. The story of "The Saleslady" is pleasing and abounds In that quality known as' "heart interest," with an ac ceptable dash of comedy here and there. Incidentally, Willard Mack, the former Portland stock star, is the author of the play. Helen Shirley, the country girl forced by ' poverty to the city, gives her last penny to a girl who must seek the mountains or die. Helen Is ejected from the lodging-house and befriended by Bruce Kerwln, a wealthy young New Yorker. She gets a job In a de partment store, marries young Kerwin, whose father disinherits him, and then, when hubby is injured,, goes on the stage. -Father-in-law, considerable of a rounder, is attracted by the girl and she brings father and son together. Paramount Pictographs are especial ly interesting, with pictured lectures on prfcparedness by General Wood and ex-Secretary of War Garrison, as well as other features. A Bray cartoon com edy completes the bill. Majestic. A woman's love for her mother and her good name, with "the overwhelming sacrifice made for such a love, are dramatically portrayed in "A Wife's Sacrifice," a William Fox feature which opened yesterday at the Majestic Thea ter. The cast is a notable one. includ ing such stars as Robert Mantell, Gene vieve Hamper. Claire Whitney. Stuart Holmes, and the child-actress, Jane Lee. The splendid acting of Mantell, in the role of Count de Briquet, and that of his wife, Genevieve Hamper, playing the part of Gorgone, the vampire, are features of a production strong in plot and climax. The story of "A WMfe's Sacrifice" opens by introducing Peppo and Gor gone, who fraudulently obtain posses sion of an immense fortune. They meet the Count and his wife, the latter Claire Whitney, and Gorgone deter mines to estrange the two. The Count ess obtains the evidence against the good name of her mother, visits the man who claims to be a half-brother, and, through the spying of Peppo, the Count find? his wife in a compromising position With the half-brother. The Countess remains silent to protect her mother's name, and the Count kills his supposed enemy and then divorces the Countess, marrying Gorgone. Later, Pauline, the Count's daughter, returns from India, and Peppo seeks her in marriage. The thieves are exposed and reap the harvest of the plots laid by them against the happiness of others. A Billy Reeves comedy, "Some Box er," and the Pathe News film complete the programme. Pickford. Marguerite Clark, the diminutive but charming screen star, in "Mice and Men," a delightful romance of the old South dealing with a wondrous matri monial scheme which met with disaster, opened an engagement yesterday at the Pickford Theater. ' Miss Clark's two roles, that of a foundling and a head strong young daughter of the social elect, give her . splendid opportunity to add more namas to her Jong list of admiring followers. "Mice and Men" presents Miss Clark as Peggy, a foundling. Mark -Kmbury. a dreamer and scientist, wants a wife, but after a survey of the field decides that the young women of his acquain tance are too frivolous for housewifry. So he conceives the idea of adopting: a girl with the idea of developing her into an ideal wife for himself. Peggy is the sample be chooses for the ex periment. .Under careful tutelage Peggy devel ops into a beautiful girl with keen in tellect and a noble heart, but her guardian reckons without youth. His nephew. Captain George Lovell, inter ests the girl, and when he goes away to war she discovers that she loves him. The feeling is reciprocated. Upon, his return he is placed In a compromising position by a woman with whom he has conducted a flirtation, and Peggy, her heart almost broken, rushes to her guardian with her tale of woe. With the situation well in hand, and his in activity all that is necessary to obtain the girl for his wife, Embury plays the heroic role and sacrifices himself by bringing the lovers together. Another one of the "Mishaps of Musty Suffer,' the Kleine comedy se ries. Is an attractive specialty on the bill. Screen Oossip. Few actors of the speaking stage, it is said, have been so closely identified with distinguished artists who have achieved world-wide renown for their dramatic prowess, as has Frank Mills, who is starred in "The Moral Fabric," the Triangle-Kay Bee feature. He has appeared as leading man with such stars as Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Mrs. Fiske, Annie Russell, Mrs. Leslie Car ter, Eleanor Robson and Olga Nether sole, during the time that these artists were offered in dramatic vehicles that have won for them fame and fortune. A score of the members of the Oregon Motion Picture Men's Association xmet at the Oregon Hotel yesterday for the regular weekly luncheon. The Majestic has introduced some thing new in the news field with a Majestic semi-weekly news service ar ranged through Pathe. This news fea ture will be augmented next week with a special fashion reel. Screen Gossip. Under the direction of Cecil B. De Mille, director-general of the Lasky Company, Miss Marie Doro rapidly is completing her first photoplay as a star of this company. Miss Doro re mains on the Paramount programme, however, as she has appeared hereto fore in Famous Players productions. "I think theae stars have all been exaggerating." says Sis Hopkins. "Here I have been in pictures for two months and I haven't received a proposal yet,'' Mae Marsh's eyebrows were scorched almost to extinction in a fire rescue scene of "Hoodoo Ann," in which she stars for Triangle, but she says she al ways made them up, anyway. Mutual Masterpieecs, de luxe edition, which will come from the Gaumont Winter studios at Jacksonville, Fla., in April, are "The Haunted Manor," with Iva Shepard in the star role, and "Feathertop." with Marguerite Courtot making' her star bow in her second flve-reel feature. . Bruce McRae, -the noted Broadway leading man, whose work opposite Blanche Bates, Grace George and other famous artistes has established him in the hearts of theater-goers, makes his film debut in a picturization of Richard Le Galllenne's "The Chain Invisible," which will be released April 10. The picture was filmed at Lienguegas, Cuba, Gerda Holmes plays the principal role opposite Mr. Bruce. Edgar Lewis and his company of Lu bln players, headed by Miss Nance O'Neil. are at work in the oil fields near Charleston, W. , Va., on the ex terior scenes of the forthcoming V-L-S-E production of "The Toilers." Doris Kenyon, the pretty Ingenue, who is seen opposite George Behan in "The Pawn of Fate," has been before the public but seven months, yet Is to be starred in aforthcoming World Paragon picture. Miss Kenyon was re hearsing at her music teacher's studio one morning when Victor Herbert ar rived. He was struck by the beauty of her tones and immediately engaged her for an important singing part in his opera. "Princess Pat." in which produc tion she made a most favorable im pression. Maurice Tourneur. the noted di rector, was so impressed by her ap pearance on the stage that he sent his card to her and after a five-minute talk engaged her for his stock company. Pierre Le May, a prosperous broker in Wall street until the panic of five years ago, is now a full-fledged motion picture artist, well on his way to star dom. Mr. Le May has just been en gaged by the Popular Plays and Play ers to appear In the forthcoming Metro wonderplay, "Playing With Fire," in which Mme. Petrova is starred. Mr. Le May is a descendant of an old Knlckebocker family and was born in Weet Thirty-sixth street. New York City. He Is now working in a Metro studio not two blocks away from where he was born.

BULL RUN PIPE IS DAMAGED Water Shut orf In One Conduit as Kesult of Slovement of Earth. Movement of earth near Ames Road, a short distance from Bull Run station, yesterday caused the breaking of rivets on the" larger of the two Bull Run water conduits.

The water bureau has had consid erable trouble with the big pipe at this point owing to the apparent moving of the hillside. This is the third time in three years that the pipe has been strained to the point of breaking rivets. VACANT-LOT PLAN URGED Mrs. Sharp Wants to See Families Made Self-Supporting. An appeal for putting improvident families upon vacant lots where they can raise gardens and thus. in a measure, be self-supporting was made by Mrs. Josephine R. Sharp, president of the Alberta Women's Club, yester day. Mrs. Sharp said it would be better for organizations of the city to bend their .efforts along this line rather than to confine their activities to paying the rent of such families and buying them food or furnishing them clothing-. mm a Ka na a am mm urn na B9 a na El HI mu aa as BH 9 H9 EH DH aa aa aa ca aa r.n KM a aa KB aa aa mm a Da aa aa aa aa mi Ha aa mm mm mm Ea BE9 mm mm aa aa aa mm mm urn aa aa aa aa aa aa Ea aa aa mu aa aa nra BH aa sta aa ea BH na ta a as " y - 1 - "mmm" ' ' ' mwwmtv&r The Plot The Stars Here's a story that at its outset challenges definitely the so-called advanced thinkers, who declare that one may, with perfect right, defy all law and tear aside "the moral fabric" when love calls.

MR. BREWSTER CALLED IN Check Slips Show Discrepancy Is at Camp Xo. 2 and Thefts From Pile During Summer Regarded as Possible but Improbable. Still there is no trace of the 1000 cords of city wood reported missing from the municipal woodpile. Two days of in vestigation by Commissioner Bigelow, Purchasing Agent Wood and others has revealed nothing. The disappear ance of the pile is as much a mystery as ever. That there is a shortage of more than 1000 cords is asserted by City Auditor Barbur, who has compiled rec ords to show the shortage. As the wood was cut a year ago by the un employed near Linnton. note was made by men in charge. Kach man was given a time slip on which was written the amount of wood he had cut. He pre sented this to City Treasurer Adams and the men were paid on the basis of the amount of wood cut. " City Auditor Barbur kept tab on these slips and when the work was completed he had the time slips show ing the total amount of wood paid for. In checking It Is found that the short age was at what was known as Camp 1. The wood cut at Camps 1 and 3 checked out. An effort has been made to find some solution to the problem. Com missioner Bigelow says there are three possibilities. One is that there was something wrong and that the amount of wood paid for by the city never was cut. The second is that the wood was stolen after betng flumed down from the camp to Linnton Road, and the third is that during last Summer the v ood was stolen from the camp. Ex-City Commissioner W. L. Brew ster, who had charge of the cutting of the wood, has been called in to assist in settling the case. He is working with Commissioner Bigelow in the in vestigation. Mr. Bigelow said yester day that while efforts have been made to ascertain the whys and wherefores of the shortage nothing has been found as yet. Mr. Bigelow says it seems almost Im possible that 1000 cords of wood could have been stolen. That amount of wood would make a pile four feet wide, four feet high and more than a mile and a half in length. For the stump age and cutting of the wood the city paid 1.75 a cord, making the loss about $1750. He says that he does not be lieve the shortage will amount to 1000 cords. Architects Lecture Tonight.
