PORT ANGELES. Wash., July 17.
X Special.) Three days and two nights
aboard the cruiser Marblehead made
landing of the men of the Oregon Naval
ililitia at Port Angeles tonight a most
welcome incident of their annual cruise.
The Marblehead dropped anchor in Port
Angeles harbor at 1:15 this afternoon
ana three hours later the men were
given shore leave. All not retained for
the watches or ship duty took advan
tage while the taking was good.
The cruiser New Orleans, with the
Washington Naval Militia, was at
anchor in the harbor when the Marble
head arrived. The battleship Oregon
was to have been here, but she was
late In getting a start from San Fran
cisco with the California Naval Militia
and will not arrive here until tomor
row or possibly not until Wednesday.
It Is possible the Marblehead and New
Orleans will leave here tomorrow and
Join the Oregon at sea instead of here.
tThls has not been decided definitely.
Neptune Takes Toll.
Except for the usual epidemic of
ea sickness, it was an uneventful
Journey the Marblehead had from the
time she left Astoria. No sooner had
the ship hit the bar than such veterans
as Chaplain ' Olson succumbed and
skated for the rail. One by one the
martyrs dropped during the day and
night. The, sea was not rough, but
the ship did enough pitching and rolling
to suit most of the men. The ship
cruised through a continual downpour
of rain all day Sunday and most of
Sunday night. The first sunshine was
eeen when anchor was dropped in Port
Angeles.
There were no mishaps of any kind
on the trip from Astoria on. Every
thing went according to schedule. The
men all worked hard in one way or
another, either attending to ship duties
and drills or fighting off sea sickness.
Everybody is happy from the ship's cat
nnd dog up to the marines, comprising
for the most part Portland lawyers and
Portland high school students.
Sitka Trip Starts Tomorrow.
Real work and real sea life com
mences tomorrow, when the start is
made for Sitka, Alaska. The battleship
Oregon will lead oft the fleet forma
tion, with the New Orleans second and
the Marblehead bringing up the rear.
They expect to make Sitka in three
days, going by the outside passage.
The Sitka fleet, as it is being called,
will be in command of Captain George
J I. Williams, of the Oregon, who is
senior officer. Captain B. L. Canago is
In command of the -New Orleans and
Captain Stanton and Captain G. F. Blair
are in command of the Marblehead.
Gun drilling has not been started
yet. It will be, however, as soon as
the start is made for Sitka. The ma
rines and the other militiamen will be
put through a rigid training.
On shore tonight the men are enjoy
ing themselves. It is their first time
ashore since the ship left Portland.

HE campaign of the motion picture
Interests of Portland for a censor-
-A- hiD which permits of an anneal to
the courts was opened in earnest at the
various theaters and exchanges of the
city yesterday, hundreds of people
signing the petitions calling upon the
City Commissioners to pass a new ordi
nance.
The opening guns were scheduled for
action Sunday, but the committee found
that neither slides nor publicity- matter
on hand permitted of a strong con
certed effort. Hence the postponement
until yesterday afternoon.
Slides announcing the opening of the
campaign and calling attention to a
censorship which permits of no appeal
beyond the inquisitorial board are be
ing shown in the various theaters.
while a further insight into conditions
is conveyed to the public through a
circular folder.
Instead of a censorship board of
seven, as under the present ordinance,
the members of which, by their own
action, have styled the body "appeal
board, with the scores of viewers the
original censors, the motion picture
men are asking for a board of 15 mem
bers, appointed by the Commissioners,
and not the Mayor. They ask that an
appeal lie from the decisions of this
board to the regular Judicial authori
ties. Movie Men at Jollification.
A score of motion picture men of
Portland, including exhibitors, film ex
change and publicity men, left late last
night via automobile for a Clackamas
River point. Angling and a general
Jolincation this morning will be fol
lowed by a barbecue feast. This out
ing will be the first of a number to be
held during the Summer.
High-Priced Paviowa.
The mob scenes of "The Dumb Girl
of Portici." the spectacular and artis
tic Anna Paviowa picture, are particu
larly effective, and the close-ups of
actual battle scenes showing thousands
of windows stormed by the mob and
hand-to-hand fights between the nobles
and peasants are splendidly handled.
The cost of this picture, in which
Paviowa has a financial interest, is
said to be $200,000.
It costs much money to ' secure the
services of the great Russian dancer
and her ballet, so when Universal and
Paviowa became Involved In negotia
tions It was decided that the dancer be
given an Interest in the production as
well as a big salary guarantee.
Filming "God's Country."
Producing Manager Rollin Sturgeon,
of Vitagraph's Western Company, has
finished his Cleveland Moffett picture,
and is now trimming it for early re
lease. That this will be a- much sim
pler task than was the trimming of
"God's Country and the Woman" is al
ready apparent. The latter took two
weeks to get into shape, every scene
having been taken on an average of
three and a half times, as there were
many difficulties in the way of snow
effects to be overcome, sometimes fall
ng snow, then about four Inches on
the ground then scenes in the forest
with snow on the ground and none on
the trees, then later scenes with snow
on the trees, deep on the ground and
falling. The scenes connected with
time .sequence had to match as to the
snow it was no part of Mr. Sturgeon's
idea to have people walk out of one
scene in foot-deep snow and come into
the next in four feet of it. though this
seems a common failing with "snow
stuff."
New Screen Letter.
For several seasons the motion pic
ture patron has been made familiar
with the flashing upon the screen at
close range the picture, of a letter
written by or to the hero. In "The De
serter," the new Charley Ray picture.
instead of having this letter written
in the usual way (the circumstances
require that it be written from the
hero to an illiterate Indian) it Is made
as a series of pictorial symbols. Rough
sketches snow a crescent moon, a
horse, a man. a coat, a pair of trousers,
a revolver and some more: but con
Jointly they express this idea: "Smug
gle my horse and a suit of Indian
clothes out to the big tree in the ar
royo and meet me there at moonrise."
Nearly an Indian.
Mitchell Lewis, who plays Kahoma.
the Indian, in Viola Dana's first Metro
, production "The Flower of No Man's
Land," can speak the Ute language flu
ently, and knows some of the Onondaga
language. He has made a specialty of
Indian parts, and has lived among the
Indians in various parts of the coun
try. He has also pliyed African heads
men. Chinamen, and every -lay Amer
lean types.
His father was Welsh and his mother
Bohemian.
Mr. Lewis was formerly In the United
States Navy. He was on the Wasp in
Cuba and Porto Rico, during the Spanish-American
War. Later he went to
the flagship New York, and was school
master in the naval training school at
Newport. He has medals for bravery
in action.
"Davy Crockett" Color.
A bit of animated atmosphere is
added to the Pallas picture, "Davy
Crockett," by the ebony-colored house
servant of the Vaughns. Born in slav
ery 86 years ago, he only knows that
be was called Jim Biddle because his
owner's name was Biddle. After years
of servitude, at first as a farm hand
in the cotton fields and afterwards as
a house servant at the big Colonial
mansion, he was liberated by the Civil
War. knowingr all the duties of a real
old-time Southern house servant and
performing them as he used to in the
ante-bellum days, Biddle gives an au
thentic touch that Is but a part of the
elaborate care used to make this in
teresting story of the Southern fron
tier live In a realistic setting.
Old Panama Prison.
Did you ever visit one of the old
prisons in Panama? Grim, gray walls
of stone and chains and leg irons were
plentiful before Uncle Sam assumed
control of the canal zone. In "The
Ne'er-Do-Well" the interior of one of
these old-time Panama prisons

well, following an exciting battle with
the police, is thrown into a Panama
dungeon, where he is persecuted by the

SYNOD MAY CONSIDER PLAN
Congregational Brotherhood Wants
Basis That Will Maintain Equit
able Relation Between School
and Both Denominations.
Tha following resolutions relative to
the proposed merger of Pacific Uni
versity, of Forest Grove, and Albany
College, of Albany, were adopted at I
meeting yesterday of the Congrega
tional Ministerial Brotherhood :
'The Congregational Ministerial
Brotherhood of Portland and vicinity
for themselves and by authority of
their churches, do hereby protest
against the union of Albany College,
of Albany, Or., and Pacific University,
of Forest Grove, Or., except upon such
grounds as would maintain an abso
lutely equitable relation to the insti
tution in every respect of both the
Congregational and Presbyterian de
nominations."
Pacifio University, one of the oldest
Institutions of higher learning, is non
sectarian, but formerly was under Con
gregational control, while Albany Col
lege is a Presbyterian Institution.
Aside from saying that the action
taken by the Congregational preachers
was hasty and ill-advised and not based
on knowledge of the facts, Harrison G.
Piatt, chairman of the Pacific Unl
verslty board of trustees, would no
comment on the situation last night.
Others of the trustees say, however,
that tney are not committed to any
definite policy in regard to the pro
posed consolidation. It is possible that
some definite action may be taken by
the Presbyterian synod, now in ses
slon at Eugene, and if this Is done I
will be considered by the Pacific
trustees in the light of developments.
