The latest and most fascinating mod ern dances are seen in the golden, cab aret on the primrose path of pleasure in "Experience." In this act one finds seated at the various tables In the cabaret, dining and chatting quietly, such fascinating ladles of fashion, beauty, excitement, song, slander, de ceit and pride, and with them are their Alice Palmer as Intoxication la Experience." escorts, typical men who frequent cab arets, especially where dancing Is in dulged In by the patrons. These men in the golden cabaret are sport style. snob, conceit, blue-blood, travel, driveJ and gush. To look at these gay and festive diners, you would think they were simply intent about chatting and eating. But the moment the orchestra strlket up a one-step, all is changed. Knives and forks are dropped hurriedly, the ladles and their escorts get up and dance. This Is the realm of enjoy ment, where pleasure is over the reign ing queen, and in this cabaret, the famous battle of the bottle and the bird is waged. The effect of the dancing and gaiety of the golden cabaret on Youth and Experience is probably that of the aver age young man. who goes for the first time to such a lively place. Turning to Pleasure, Youth enthusiastically re marks: "Let me thank you for brlng- ng me here. It s glorious. The music and the laughter and the air is sweet with the faint odor of dying roses. Everywhere there are women's eyes mat sparKle llKe moonlight on a silent river. Everywhere there are white arms that beckon me to lips Incarnadine with welcome."

ABOUT $45,000 INVOLVED Obligations Are Those Assumed by City of Iiinnton Before Merger. Actions Are Filed by Three Plaintiffs. The city of Portland was made the defendant In three separate suits filed yesterday with the County Clerk, in which damages are sought because of the failure of the city to liquidate war rants held by the three defendants, drawn on a fund from which the Hill side boulevard improvement was to be paid. Those bringing the suits are the First National Bank of St. Johns, the Hibernia Savings Bank and the firm of Maegly & Tlchenor. The three suits involve more than $45,000. It Is alleged in the complaints that the city of Portland assumed the debts of the city of Llnnton when the latter town was merged with Portland, and that Inasmuch as Llnnton made no ef fort to discharge the debt by creating a special fund, it Is the duty of the city of Portland to discharge that obliga tion. The city of Portland passed an ordi nance almost a year ago creating a special assessment district and assessed the property owners abutting on the Hillside boulevard for Its Improvement. Five Injunction suits were filed re straining the collection of any assess ments. The three plaintiffs are In possession f warrants taken up by them from the -Ryan Contracting Company, the firm that did the Improvement on Hill side boulevard. These warrants were exchanged for a good consideration. The complaints further allege that the warrants have been presented to the City Treasurer, but as there is n fund from which to honor the war rants, and inasmuch aa six months have elapsed since the warrants were first presented, the warrant holders thought it best to sue to recover. The First National Bank of St. Johns is suing for $3504.50 and interest there on at 6 per cent from March 1. 1914. The Hibernia Bank is suing for $10. 976.02 and interest at the rate of 6 per cent from March 1, 1914. Maegly & Tichenor are suing for $32,657.27 and Interest from the same date at the same rate. Frank S. Grant is appearing for all three plaintiffs. FIRE SAVES LOST MAN THOMAS ItlLEA 4 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD IX SNOWSTORM. Life Owed to Prance of Mlad In Seek ing: Oat Sheltered Spot Hour Re anlred to Move 15 Ireet. Thomas Rllea. of Portland, who was lost more than four days in a snow storm near West Fork and -Murlal in the Lower Rogue country, probably owes bie life to presence of mind when he discovered himself fighting a snow storm out of West Fork, according to information received yesterday by his uncle, W. S. Rilea, 667 Glisan street. Mr. Rllea. when he found himself In the predicament, left the trail for a sheltered spot, used the few matches he had in starting a fire, which he kept going for three days and night. During that time he was without food and the snow was blinding. It took him an hour to go 16 feet, he esti mated, and when he thought he could no longer survive and that death was his probable fate, he left the sheltered spot and went back to the trail, bear ing in mind that If the worst came his body would more easily be found on the trail. While he was on the trail the fire went out, and when the storm subsided a little he returned to the sheltered spot and spent another night. although the fire had died down and he was without means of starting an other. When he was finally found he was suffering more from exhaustion due to the lack of food than exposure from cold. He was without food from Thurs day night, when he left Portland, to Tuesday. Commodore Fleming, according to the advices received by the Rilea fam ily in Portland, had not been actually lost and returned to his starting place as soon as he could get back, although the storm was terrific at times.
