THE 3IOBXIXG OREGONIAN,. FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1917. BILL IS DISCUSSED 1 wanttheyoung Employers Not of One Mind as to Arbitration. men of Portland HEARINGS ARE CONTINUED Mr. Emery, for 3Ianufacturers, Says Industrial Rights Are Not In fringed Civic Federation. Head Opposes Iaw. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Hearingsbe fore the Senate commerce committee on railroad legislation to supplement the Adamson law were continued "to day with James A. Emery, representing the National Association of Manufac turers and other employers' organiza tions, and Ralpn M. Easley. of the Na tional Civic Federation, as witnesses. Mr. Emery denied that the proposed arbitration bill would infringe the right of an individual to quit his em ployment, but said It was directed only against a combination or conspiracy which would Interfere with interstate commerce. That, he argued, was not involuntary servitude, because Congress could con dition a man's quitting under circum stances of public necessity. Mr. Easley, speaking for himself, op posed the arbitration bill. The Cana dian dispntes act, similar to that be fore the committed, had not proved a success, he said. He believed "neither the railroads nor the brotherhoods" now wanted the Adamson act, which was an emergency measure. Pressed by Senator Robinson, Mr. Easley said he had no legislation to suggest to prevent strikes which might work better than existing laws. In nine years of existence, he said, the Canadian commission dealt with only 146,000 employes, and of these 22 per cent struck in spite of the awards. He compared that to the rec ord of the present Federal mediation board, which, without-compulsory pow ers, settled 73 out of 74 railway disputes. Progress of the War. EXCEPT for a narrow strip of land projecting Into the Danube marshes, toward the Moldavian town of Galatz, all of Dobrudja has been cleared by the Teutonic allies of Russian and Roumanian troops. After the fall of Matchin and Jljlla, the defenders be gan a retreat across the Danube to ward Braila, and, according to Berlin, a force of Russian rearguards on the peninsula projecting toward Galatz comprises the only entente troops now in Roumania between the Danube River and the Black Sea. In Moldavia the Teutonic allies are continuing their invasion of the coun try from the west, while in the south they are meeting with strong re sistance at various points from the Russian and Roumanian troops. In the wooded Carpathians the Rus sians, in an attack, captured from the Germans an advanced position north of Meste-Canescl. . Petrograd reports that in this fighting the Russians took 00 men prisoners and captured three cannon. 16 machine guns and other war material. On the other fronts the operations are still confined to reciprocal bom bardments and engagements between small reconnoitering parties. In Galicia the Austro-Germans delivered several attacks against the Russians, but they proved unsuccessful. Raids of German trenches northeast of Arras and in the neighborhood of Wytschaete are reported by the London war office, which asserts also that German attempt against British trenches east of Armentieres was put down with losses for the attackers.

"Experience," Morality Play at Heilig, Memorable. CHARACTERS WELL ACTED Story Shows Youth as He Travels Down Slany Ways of Life Con- dar Nagel, Who Takes Lead ing Part, Finished Actor. DEATH IS CHILD'S FAULT Court Says Ordinary Care Is Not Es erclsed and Suit Is Ijost. OREGON CITY, Or.. Jan. 4. (Spe clal.) No person using ordinary care would fall off backward from a side walk in broad daylight. Circuit Judge Campbell has decided in granting to the city a nonsuit in the $7500 damage case of David Oliver, as administrator of the estate of the late Carrie Oliver, against J. W. Shea, a contractor, and the city. Carrie Oliver was playing on High street June 30, 1S14. stepped backward oft the edge of a sidewalk where the street was on a grade, fell about 10 feet on pointed rocks and was killed. COLD GONE! HEAD E CLEAR AND NO First Dose of "Pape's Cold Com pound" Relieves All Grippe Misery. Don' stay sluffed-up! Quit blowing and snuffling! A doe of 'Tape's Cold Compound" taken every two hours until three doses are taken will end grippe misery and break up a severe cold either in the head, chest, body or limbs. It promptly opens clogged-up nos trils and air passages; stops nasty discharge or nose running; relieves sick headache, dullness, feverishness, sore throat, sneezing, soreness and stiffness. "Pape's Cold Compound" , is the quickest, surest relief known and costs only 25 cents at drugstores. It acts without assistance, tastes nice, and causes no inconvenience. Don't accept a substitute. Adv. Mighty in Its strength, inspiring In the hope it brings, dreadful in Its warnings, rich in its truths is the great morality play, "Experience," that opened last night at the Heilig Thea ter. It was written by George V. Ho bart and while it suggests some of plays of the "Everywoman" type, it is not like them. It has distinct individ uality. "Experience" is the story of .Youth's travels down the many ways or life. It begins in a garden of loveliness, "the land where dreams begin." There, where the sun shines and the flowers blow. Youth stands bidding goodbye to his sweetheart. Love, while he leaves her with Hope and goes out witn Am bition to seek fortune and conquer the world. Hero's Work Convincing;, Condar Nagel, who is the Youth of the play, is well fitted for the part. He is good-looking, young, an accomplished actor, who never overdoes and who lives his experiences convincingly. And while he is the hero, the central figure, he i3 not by any means an ovenshadow- ing personality that gives no chance to other characters, tor eacn ana every one in the cast is all that could be de sired. The staging is always excellent and in keeping with the message of the allegory, a true picture and well bal anced. As for the lines, with the splendid interpretation they . receive, they carry messages that grip the soul. They are rich in epigrams. They sparkle at times with, wit and the audience is given many a good laugh. Well. Youth leaves Love behind promising to return, and he enters first the Street of Vacllllatlon where he meets Pleasure, a bright, beautiful woman wonderfully gowned, marvel ously alluring. Lilie Leslie, who is seen in this role, is a fascinating and clever little actress whose personality is felt whenever she appears. Oppor tunity, not so good to look upon and clad' simply in gray, is scorned by Youth as he listens to Pleasure. The Primrose Path is next trodden bv Youth. ' Here he is led to a gay cabaret or cafe where wine, women and song while the hours away. He meets care-free excitement. Travel Snort. Fashion. Blueblood, Style. Friv olity. Deceit. Slander, friae, curiosity and Experience seems to hover nearer all the time. And then in the mad whirl of the new life that has claimed him Youth, sees Passion and finally fals a prey to Intoxication. Part of Chance Well Played This brings us to the fourth episode there are ten in all and Youth is seen in the "Corridors of Chance." It is the same old story, lucfc at first, ruin later, but it is told in a new vein and with many side lights and innova tions that are unique. Good Nature, t character taken by Joseph Weber, has a most contagious laugh and the part of Chance, pictured by John Harring ton, is exceptionally well handled. Into the Street of Dissilluslon next goes Youth and there he is "cut" b his former rrienas, style, iseauty Wealth and their kind. He Is down and out and they know him no more. It is then that his only companion seems to be the old fellow,. "Expert ence. In the House of Last Resort, a com mon, cheap cabaret in the slums, Youth tries his hand as a waiter, having made friends with Work. George Berry is "Grouch" to perfec tion. ' Florence Klinn deserves praise, for her interpretation of Frailty. In the cabaret, Mr. Nagel Youth sings a song that brings tears to the eyes of his audience. It is full of human appeal and his voice is sweet and clear. Life Experiences Chancre. So, along the way goes Youth, fall ing into the street of Remorse and into the House of Lost Souls, where dope is king, dogged continually by Pov erty. And then, in the street of For gotten Days, in company with Crime, he hears "Lead Kindly Light," and his life is changed. The final scene, in the Land Where the Dreamer Awakes, provides a happy EDWARD N. HURLEY QUITS President to Ask Trade Commission Chairman to Reconsider. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, resigned today to resume his business in Chicago, which, he told President Wilson, was suffering from his absence. The resignation was ac cepted, although the President will urge Mr. Hurley to change his mind. The chairman will leave the Com mission February 1 and Vice-Chairman Harris automatically will succeed him. Mr. Hurley denied reports he was getting out because of differences with other Commissioners over the con duct of the news print paper and other investigations. "Nothing but business is pulling me away," he said. This is the time for the captain to stick to the bridge." This resignation makes two vacan cies on the Commission.

Abundant Rations Promised Those Who Accept Work, but Thousands Refuse and Still Live In Rope of Release. THE HAGUE, Netherlands, via Lon don, Jan. 4. The first report received directly from Belgians deported Germany, who have been Invalided from the camp at Soltau. Prussia, has been given to the Associated Press. These prisoners were returned from Germany because they were almost in a dyln condition. A number of them who were interviewed while separated from each other agreed in their stories of condl tions prevailing in tne Soltau camp. Seventy of the Belgians were sent home in a crowded cattle truck at tached to a freight train. It took three days and three nights for the Journey which usually is male by express train in six hours. They arrived home in an emaciated condition, coughing, the greater number of them bearing ev dence of having contracted tubercu losls. Acorns Furnished for Food. According to the statements made by these Belgians, while in the civil camp at Soltau they received at 6 o clock 1 the morning a bowl of some dacoctlo made from acorns. At midday they re ceived half a liter of soup contalnin much water and a few turnips, carrots and shrimps, served without bread o potatoes. At 3 o clock in the after noon there was given to them 250 grams (slightly more than half pound) of black bread, bad and often mildewed. In the evening, as at midday, they received half a liter of soup, some times containing bran or brown maize. Under this regime the stronger me suffered and the weak soon fell ill, so that, the Belgians say, deaths occurred dally. Two of the Belgians are to have become insane the first week. The torment of hunger drove them to such extremes that they crept into the kitchen and collected peelings of pota toes, turnips and carrots. One workman who attempted to es cape Is reported to have been brought down witn a shot ana finished with the bayonet. Soldier Prisoners DJvlde Rations, Nearby was a prison camp for cap tured Belgian soldiers. The soldiers were better fed than the civilians and came in contact with them on bein permitted to attend funerals of civil lans. Pitying their countrymen, they took to them secretly bread and pre erved articles of food. The returned Belgians say the civil ians at Soltau receive no soap and are advised to use sand instead. Notwith standing their sufferings, most of them refuse to work, although promised good food and considerable pay. On one occasion 40 artisans were taken away and returned tight days later. They said they had been taken to the Grand Duchy of Baden, where for two days they were placed on abun dant rations, being told if they accept ed work they would receive such food regularly. On refusing, they were sent back to Soltau in a cattle truck, where, they reported, they were kept without food for 85 hours. According to these accounts, there are 11.000 Belgians at Soltau who re fuse to work and still hope their re lease may be brought about. Brussels and Liege thus far are said to have escaped forced labor requisitions.

RHEUMATISM PAII1 The exact cause of rhenmatism Is un known, though it is generally believed to bo due to an excess of urlo acid In the blood. It may be also said with equal trnth that no remedy has been found which Is a speolflo In all cases. In fact tbe literature of rheu matism shows that there are but few druus which have not been given a trial. In the hands of one observer we find that a certain drug has been used with the utmost satin faction; others have found the same remedy to be a great disappointment. All physi cians however agree that every method of treatment is aided by the administration of some remedy to relieve the pain and qult tbe nervous system and Dr. W. 8.
