STOLEN PROPERTY FOUND Victim, Once Arrested In Company With Mrs. Jobelinan but Freed at Husband's Request, Uaa Been Kept as Lodger. Hugh Park, a Korean, 31 years old, was terribly beaten about the head yesterday morning by Fred W. Jobel man, street speaker and radicalist. who wielded a hammer, at his home, 464 East Oak street. Park is in Good Samaritan Hospital, semi-unconscious from his wounds and In a serious con dition. His skull is not thought to be fractured. The affray became known when Mo torcycle Patrolman Coulter was .sum moned to 444 East Oak street, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. He found Park there, reeling from his wounds and covered with blood. He had taken refuge from Jobelman. the Korean said, and told' the policeman that his assailant would be found at his home. Jobelman was arrested by Patrolmen Coulter and E. Burke, and taken be fore Police Captam Inskeep. He ad mitted the attack on Park, but said that it was in self defense and at a time when he feared for his own life. Park, he said, had long been a friend of the family, and had been permitted to sleep In the kitchen, in a rocking chair. Old Grievance Blamed. When Jobelman came to the kitchen, be saldt Park renewed an old grievance that existed between them, and the dis cussion led to the quarrel. "He began his tirade at once," said Jobelman, "and threatened to kill me and my family, as he had done many times before. He was partially dressed. I was not afraid, and said. 'You wouldn't kill anything, Hugh.' He picked up a meat cleaver, and I saw that he meant murder. The hammer was near by, and I used it to defend myself. I hit him a couple of clips wita it. but I did not mean to strike o hard." Park was at first taken to the Emer gency Hospital, fully conscious but growing weaker rapidly from loss of blood. . He told Patrolman Coulter a story of the affray that differs from Jobelman's. He was half-asleep in the rocking chair. Park says, when his host approached and-struck him with the hammer. "He meant to kill me." insisted Park, who speaks good English, "and hide my body in the cellar." "Wepon" Are Captured. To save himself he fled from the house. Park said, and took refuge at 444 East Oak street. When found he was only partially clad. The blood spattered hammer aid the cleaver, which is unflecked, were taken by the police as evidence. The cause of their quarrel was not related by Jobelman, but the police records show that Park was arrested two years ago in the company of Mrs. Jobelman, at Sixth and Davis streets, when both were booked on an investi gation charge. The police had been informed that Park and Mrs. Jobelman were meeting in a rooming-house at that address. On the night of February 21, 1914, Po lice Captain Inskeep sent Patrolmen X-illis and Kellogg, accompanied by George A. Thacher, to the place. The officers discovered Mrs. "Jobelman and Park in a room together and took them to the .station on an investigation charge. Jobelman appeared a few min utes later, protested that everything was all right, and the couple were freed after several hours" grilling. Wrongdoing Is Denied. Jobelman denies that this incident has anything to do with yesterday's af fair. He says that Mrs. Jobelman, de sirous of assisting him two years ago. when it was feared that he had tuber culosis, proposed to establish a class of Orientals and instruct them in English. That Park was one of these pupils, and that he was receiving instruction when the officers arrested the pair, is the husband's assertion. For some time Jobelman and Park were business associates, when the for mer published a radical journal, called V Thompson's Deep-Curve Lenses Are Better Remember those who have remembered you Father and mother have been giving you gifts for many years.

Park once at tempted to enter Portland Academy, but failed in taking the examination necessary. Mrs. Jobelman is 31 years old. slight of stature and dark of complexion, and is of Magyar parentage, it i3 said There are four children. Her husband has frequently been involved in street speaking disturbances. During their investigation of the case. City Detectives La Salle and Leonard found evidence that Park, who was an employe of the Hotel Oregon, had been accumulating silverware and linen. In his trunk at the Jobelman home, they found 30 pieces of silver, knives, forks and spoons, and-a number of napkins bearing the hotel label. Pending the determination of Park's chances for life, Jobelman is held without bail on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, by the ln- umversity pkofe5sor to read at the: little theater TOIGHT. Photo by Bushnell. Mable Holmes Parsons. Professor Mable Holmes Parsons, of the University of Oregon, will read at the Little Theater tonight the four-act drama "Le Cloitre." by Emile Ver haeren, the Belgian poet and dramatist who has come so noticeably into the public eye the last two or three years. v erhaeren is one of the "suppressed Belgian writers, who, although a law yer by training, son after leaving the University of Louvaln turned to liter ature and art, championing especially the impressionists. He is the poet who rst sounded the need for a back-to- the-farm movenient, his poety as early as 1893 describing the race of the rural peoples-to the cities. His poetry was violent in its passion at times. The reading tonight at the Little Theater is for the regular bi-weekly programme.

It is expected that this feature will take up the entire day. Saturday night the Chamber, of Commerce will give a dinner in rfbnor of the visiting delegates at Hotel Multnomah. BY LEOXE CASS BAER. Following the general architecture and floor plans of Sophie Tucker, with Itay Samuels' color scheme, and a per sonality bearing her own little trade mark, - Nellie V. Nichols returns to grace a wonder bill at the Orpheura. Wish't I could remember the sassy little song-prologue Nellie' uses to in troduce her act. It's all about what she's going to do. what she uster do, and how glad she is to be back with us. All done in song, mind you, with more songs to follow. Her sand-hog episode proves, a gem, an exquisite commingling of comedy and pathos, with the irrepressible Nel lie as an Italian emigrant woman. This colorful bit is vastly different from Nellie's former Italian numbers. Guessing: Song ! Given. She listens to reason and gives us again the delightful guessing song, the one where we have to figure out Nellie's shamrock - geflltaflsh - or-how-ever-you-spell-it nationality. Nellie almost wears some grand and noble dresses, guess they cost too much to be Just dresseB, so we'll call 'em gowns. And she has an irresistible way of making her songs differ from everybody else's. The V in Nellie's name stands for vivacious. They don't belong to the regulars; they're only volunteers, that big riot making number six on the programme. A chap (Billy Cripps) comes out la beled "extra," and collects from the audience three volunteers to make out a quartet. The tenor (Al Rauh) is a shy, nervous, timid person, with the inevitable flat hat and umbrella and a splendid sense of comedy, and he has to be figuratively and literally backed into the shafts for every song. He is always a step ahead or behind, in the dance measures, and messes up the artistic endeavors of his co-singers. Singing la Beautiful. And such singing. It's beyond mere description in cold type. It's an "all the little birdies", in the trees act. only birdies can't sing bass and baritone and tenor and blend them magically into the glory notes of a great, big or- gaTi like these four voices sound. The audience sat perfectly entranced with the beautiful music, and howled for more and got it. The two other members of the quar- et are Jerome Daley and Fred Lyon. Possibly their fine singing should be placed ahead of their equally fine com edy in this review, but it's really a case of 50-50. A joy-bringing act Is that of Phil White in "Lots and Lots of It." Phil White is one of the genuine Hebrew comedians of the American stage, and has created many types, but none fun nier than his merchant, Simon Mutter zobb. who tries to sell "lots and lots." There's a plot to the sketch, with Simon playing hide and seek in a real estate swindle. Love Story Comes In. Of course there's a love story and other characters besides Simon to round out a capital sketch, but it is the War fieldian quality of Phil White's charac terization that rocks the house with laugh ter. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Barry return with their stage door classic of the rube who arms himself with peanuts, candy and a posy and parleys with a maid o' the merry merry. Jimmy Barry a composite picture of all our fond est ideas of what a rube should be. a re blend of all the devhish carry ings-on peculiar to small-town devils. The act is a riot, with Mrs. Jimmle as the flossy but coy chorus lass. Rena Parker Fascinates. Hena Parker Is a fascinating song ster who does not depend on voice alone for her claim to close attention. She is an attractive dancer, but it isn't Just her dancing, either. It's her happy smile, and her smart little eongs, all new. and her elfish ways and her beautiful-dolly look. Rena has one ballad about "Fishing" that's a sensation. An artistic act that puts every one in high good humor is that of the Misses St. Clair, five girls who are Belgian refugees. I'm glad they took refuge on the Orpheura circuit, else we'd never have heard their beautiful music. One girl sings in a lovely voice, one is a splendid 'cellist, one a violin ist, one a harpist, and one a pianist. Their act is a big favorite. Closing the bill is Fink's mules, an aggregation of circus performing mules in a round of comedy. LEGISLATION TO BE TOPIC Bar Association' to Work for proved Court Procedure.
