NO PEACE IS IN SIGHT NORTHWEST CALLED UPON Leaders of Opposing Factions Are Keeping Out of View and Belief Is That More Blood Must Flow to Heal Outrage. Captain W. !. Currier Conducts Ex aminations at Vancouver Bar racks; Thousands Are Eligi - ble for Appointments. 2 for 25c TROOPER HEIR IS FREE m-mm 0 s. j r - a The Josses of four tons shrines were lonely yesterday In Portland's China town, and the dominoes and cards were tumbled in disarray on the gaming tables. Aged and rheumatic Chinese, fit for neither fighting nor flight, shuffled down the lonely corridors to answer the Insistent summons of pry ing patrolmen and plain-clothes police. The terror of the tong war was over Chinatown. "No peace," said Lee Mee Gin, presi dent of the peace society. "No peace," echoed his secretary, Leong Jew King, shaking his head. Peace cannot come, say these peacemakers, until the In fluential tongmen reappear from hid ing. And before this transpires, it Is freely ventured, the mounting blood debt of the tongs will claim at least another victim. Lee Tim, reputed Hop Sing officer, with Jeu Joe, Wong Chung Sung and other suspects arrested immediately after the killing of Ham Quong Fong, a cannery foreman, of the King Kung Bow Leong Tong, at 91 North Fourth street, Saturday, will be given a pre liminary hearing this afternoon. - All are said to be members of the Hop Sing Tong. As proof of their peaceful intent and desire to. abide by the treaty signed with the Hop Sings following the Hip Sing murder of Mar Duck, a Suey Sing, on February 8, the Bing Kung-Bow Leongs point to their attitude In the recent La Grande affray, when they de clined to take up the quarrel of one of their own tongmen. Both new and old Chinatown were under the closest police surveillance yesterday. Few Chinese appeared on the streets. In their tenements they de clined even to enter the corridors lest some lurking gunman take their lives as toll in the tong war. Those who appeared on the streets were not mem bers of the warring tongs, and even these walked warily. But the young Chinese, either of American birth or Americanized by residence here since childhood, boldly classified the tong strife as "all fool ish," and used adjectives to emphasize their disapproval. Attorney Dan J. Malarkey, counsel for the Bing Kung-Bow Leong tongs, will aid in the prosecution of the men accused of the slaying of Ham Quong Fong? TROOP TO PICK CAPTAIN OREGON CAVALRYMEN WILL SEl LECT NEW LEADER TONIGHT. Three Names Are Mentioned Members Bar Outsiders Only Men Who Went to Border Eligible. The first regular night drill of Troop A will be held at the Armory this even ing at 7:45, and at this meeting, in ad dition to the regular drill, wilt be the election of a Captain. Upon the return of the troop from the border. Captain George A. Whit, who had been the troop commander since Ju"Vie last, re signed to resume his duties as Adjutant-General of Oregon. Since the troop was mustered out at Vancouver. First Lieutenant Hogan has been In com mand. He was the troop commander "When Captain White was appointed. There are several important things to come up at tonight's meeting. Aside from the election of a Captain, it will be definitely decided how many mem bers of the troop are going to remain in the city, and perhaps the few mem bers of the troop who did not subscribe to the Federal oath, will learn Just where they stand. There are three names mentioned in the race for the captaincy. Lieutenant Cicero F. Hogan has risen from the ranks, going from private and passing successfully through each grade to that of First Lieutenant. He is well thought of by the soldiers of the troop, and won the high opinion of regular Army offi cers with whom he served while on the border. The other names mentioned are Charles E. GJedsted, who has been first sergeant of the troop for several months, and Arthur Tebbitts. It was a decision of the troops who were present last week at the troop smoker that no outsider should be elected to a commission, and that in the future none but members of the troop who had turned out when the President's call came, would be eligible to either a commission or a non-commissioned rank in the troop.

MELODRAMA and comedy are the principal Ingredients of "The Rise of Susan," a photoplay of high entertainment value that Introduces the4 popular Clara Kimball Young to the film publio once more. The story is good unexpectedly good and, with out the presence of the sex problem, gives the spectator more than an hour of enjoyment. Susan "rises" through the strange fortune of being selected as a model in a fashionable shop, where she is employed In the workroom, and from there being employed by an unscrupu lous "social climber" to impersonate a countess at one of her social functions. She succeeds so well that the daughter of her scheming hostess loses a fiancee to her. Susan stands by her guns and refuses to be bulldozed or cajoled into giving up her new-found love, particu larly when she feels It her duty to shield him from a girl who Is a drug fiend. With the wedding guests assembled the villain In the play, a social secre tary, threatens exposure unless SuBan promises to pay a huge sum of money. Susan rushes out and makes public confession of her deception. The hostess, to save herself, declares that Susan is insane, a result of the drug habit. Susan does not know this and, breaking down. Is taken to a public hospital, where she becomes a nurse. Ninon, the girl deprived of the love of Claverlng Gordon by Susan, marries him. Still addicted to drugs, she breaks down six years later and Is taken to the hospital where Susan Is nurse. The Inevitable scene results, and Ninon, Insane with Jealousy and the influence of the drug, picks up a pair of small scissors and stabs at Susan's eyes, blinding her, and then leaps to death from the window of the room Just, as Gordon arrlvrs. Years later the love of Susan and Gordon is rekindled and happiness Is complete when hopes for the recovery of her sight are offered by the spe cialists. "That Daw-Gone Dog," an uproarious L-KO comedy in two reels, is full of fun. Clara Casten, the girl violinist who has been making a bit at the Peo ples, is heard In a repertoire of new selections. Columbia. Ethel Barrymore's arrival as a bona fide star of the film drama is signal ized in "The White Raven," a story of Alaskan dance halls and the Klondike with a wide human appeal, and pre sented with a number of .unusually tense dramatic situations. The play Is of the virile, red-blooded type, the star scoring effectively as a dance-hall girl and prima donna. Miss Barrymore shatters a number of traditions in this picture, chief among them being her appearance In short skirts as a song-and-dance girl in an Alaskan "honkatonk" or miners dance hall. Her characterization of the girl. Nan Baldwin, presents a quality of almost masculine strength, a de termination to follow the paths of vir tue born of knowledge rather than ignorance. This is Miss Barrymore's fipet picture since the announcement of her determination to devote her time exclusively to the photoplay. The story, briefly outlined, has Its real beginning in an Incident in the life of Nan Baldwin's father, who, ruined in business by his -partner and, afterwards refused aid by him, goes with his young daughter to the Alas kan gold fields. The father dies and Nan is left to earn her living In a dance hall. Fired with an ambition to be a great singer and full of hatred for her father's partner, she offers herself to the winner at a card table for money won. The innate virtue of the woman and respect of that virtue by the man allows her to go forth unharmed, but with the shadow hanging over her that In her hour of triumph she will receive the two deuces with which the game was won, accompanied by a demand that she return to the "stranger." The girl becomes famous as a singer and falls in love with a young society man. She encompasses the downfall of the man who ruined her father. Then comes the call north and the discov ery that the "stranger" is no other than the man who won her love In the "States." "The Nick-of-Tlme Baby," the first of a new flock of Mack Sennett Key stones, Is a medley of nonsense con structed about a baby and an heir to a fortune. An intelligent mastiff plays an Important part In the fun of the two-reeler, which Is amusing without resort to the noisy slapstick. N Star. "The Girl "Who Doesn't Know," looks like a sincere effort on the part of the producers to preach against the Ig norance that many families allow their daughters to grow up in. It'e a strong preachment with a big title, and note worthy for an absence of the sensa tional merely for the purpose of ap pealing to the morbid. Some of the more straight-laced censor 'boards have attacked this pic ure, and of course members of th jommunity the wooden-headed folk vho believe that lack of knowledge of certain phases of life means eternal goodness Join in the anvil chorus. "The Girl Who Doesn't Know." U ,-.!;,.. i ; .; S WHITE RAVEN," AX preaches that Innocence is akin to Ig norance, and that Ignorance leads to Sorrow. Marie Empress is Btar of the production, with R. Henry Grey in the leading male role. The story Introduces Zelma, a girl of the slums, whose life is unhappiness personified. She finally euccumbs to temptation (not knowing what she does) and allows herself to fall Into the power of a gambler and libertine. Out in the country, Martin, a preacher. Incurs the displeasure of his congregation by his frankness and he leaves for the city 'to preach his gospel in the alums. Zelma finally realizes the futility of her position and leaves the gambler. She meets the minister, who saves her from suicide, is taken to his home, and he falls in love with her. Then the gambler appears again, and lays envi ous eyes on the minister's young sl ter. Zelma warns Martin but is forced to disclose her own past. Martin for gives the girl, acting on the principle that "to err is human, to forgive di vine," and takes Zelma as his wife. The fourth film in the interesting and topical -series. "Uncle Sam's De fenders," and Paramount Pictographs, are also screened. Sunset. "Little Lady Eileen," Is a novel photoplay of fanciful charm, and Marguerite Clark, its star, scores an other triumph in the role of an imag inative Irish girl who believes in fair ies as much as she believes in the ex istence of any member of the house hold. This phase of her character has enabled director and cameramen to fill the play with many delightful scenes showing the little people of fairyland at their sprightly gambols. The Little Lady Eileen cannot take the shortest walk in the woods and fields without seeing every lell and dingle peopled with all the diminutive persons she has learned of from the local legenda. One of her companions, a cobbler-poet, tells her that by look ing into a certain well and repeating a magic formula she will see the face of her future husband. When a young chap peers over her shoulder into the water she is given convincing proof. However, a wicked twin-brother takes advantage of his resemblance to the lover and tricks the girl Into marriage. But the fairies work a spell over his horse and the fortune-hunter it; thrown and fatally Injured, leaving the way open for a wedding of the lovers. The special benefit screening of pic tures showing the boys of Troop A and Battery A, Oregon Guard, at the Mexican border, are especially inter esting. The photoplay is usually good, and it is not difficult to identify the soldiers, particularly in the big review scene. In which the 300 men all paes before the camera at a trot. One sec tion of the film shows both troop and battery going into action, the maneu ver being executed with a precision that speaks well for the training the men received. "His Busted Trust" Is the Keystone comedy contribution to the programme. Slim tjummervllle, Bobby Dunn. and Peggy Pearce are the principals In this fun-riot. Majestic. Those who delight in "vampe" and their doings; enjoy the recital of their hectic deeds of home-wrecking, murder, etc.; and revel In the seductive, snaky stuff that Kipling named for a future vogue, may stop at Washing ton and Park streets, enter the Majestic Theater, and pay tribute to Theda Bara and "The Tiger Woman." Theda is "The Tiger Woman," In a lurid vam pire photoplay that fairly exudes the famed brand of unwomanly woman hood. . " If you don't think "The Tiger Wo man" is real vampire play, listen to these "stunts" of the vlllalnesB: She hands her husband over to the Russian secret police when she overhears him plotting with ' a Japanese; runs away with a count, refuses to aid him when he loses all at the gaming tables, and then poisons him; fascinates a young American, ruins him. and then is re sponsible for the murder of his father while the young fellow Is robbing the home of his parents; lures his brother from wife and child; shoots a former Russian servant, and has him sent to prison. Finally she succumbs to this same servant, who turns the tables on the Russian when she tries to stab him.. Miss Bara, as the Russian Prlncens Petrovitch. Is as alluring as ever in her vampire makeup and n.umerous hand some gowns. Her supporting cast is a strong one. Including Herbert Heyea. John Dillon, Glenn White, Mary Martin and "Kittens" Relchert. A Bon Bon Riot" Is a two-reel Fox film comedy featuring Hank Mann. It's a typical slapsticker, with the action, as frantio as one could imagine, tak ing place In a candy shop upstairs and down. An elevator plays a promi nent part in the mirthful events, while come trick photography adds to the fun. PIONEER, 92. TO MOTOR Gaston Enthusiast Persuades Friend to Sell Dobbin and Get Car. GASTON, Or., Feb. 25. (Special.) When Joseph D. Bates, 92, a great grandfather and one of Gaston's staid pioneers, discovered that his friend John Baxter, 84. owned an automobile, he caused no little consternation In his family by telling them that he, too. Intended to buy a car. Mr. Bates made his announcement today after Mr. Baxter had dropped In on him with the news that he possessed an automobile. "Why not trade off old Dobbin and get you a car, too?" suggested Mr. Baxter. "It's a good idea, John," replied his friend. "I'll do it." The War Department wants all the qualified men in the Northwest to enter the Officers' Reserve Corps. Captain William P.

A great number of Captains, First Lieutenants and Second Lieutenants are desired.

Lark of Capital and Industrious Pro motion Declared to Be Leaving Mark on Christianity. Christianity must get down to a busi ness basis and fight the competition of the devil In much the same .way that a business man fights tno competition of a rival. In about so many words Dr. E. H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Presby terian Church, yesterday morning told his congregation that merely attend ing church wasn't enough. "Christianity Is in competition with all other agencies of the world. It must fight to win Its battles." he said. "Business enterprises fail when they are unable to stand up under the strain of competition. When new rivals ap pear new methods must be brought Into play. Likewise Christianity can not succeed if It doesn't offer just as stiff competition as the devil gives and a little stiffer. "Lack of capital and Industrious pro motion Is leaving the mark of failure on Christianity just as It leaves It on unsuccessful business enterprises where capital and Industry are lacking. "After all Is said, Christianity, as a programme and an enterprise In the markets bidding for more capital suf fers for want of competent promotion. When this comes the world will be a different place." "The Sealed Packet" Third Episode of Serial. Phillip Birr1! Right to Throne la Established In Vitlgraph Play of Romance and Adventure.

Attorney See Clark Coantr Prosecu tor and Gets Man Held on Check Chars; Oat t JalL Emll Langendorfer, the member of Troop A who was told by his brother that he had fallen heir to a share of 1250,000 and who has been languishing In the county jail at Vancouver charged with uttering a worthless check for $3.50, gained his freedo'm last night. Trooper Langendorfer was arrested last Friday and since - then has been held under $1000 bonds, which he could not furnish. Langendorfer obtained his freedom through the Interest taken by Ralph R. Dunlway, attorney. With Lieutenant Hogan, Mr. Dunlway visited Langen dorfer in the Vancouver Jail.

Strict Vnlonlsm Divides Authority Be tween Employer and Labor Organ isation, Says Charles Swlgert. In a discussion on the open and closed shop last night, Charles F. Swl gert, president of the Pacific Bridge Company, asserted that the main objec tion employers had to the closed shop was the division of authority that al most always resulted. "Unionism needs no defense in this country," said Mr. Swigert. "Likewise the open shop in principle Is all right, but Its good principles arel table to be swallowed up in bad practice. "The main difficulty employers have with unions and their Insistence that closed shop conditions obtain is that when employers sign agreements to maintain closed shops there is a divi sion of authority because of the pres ence of the anion's paid representative. I had a foreman in my business who said that if my shop signed with the unions to make It a closed shop there would no longer be need of him. 'I won't have any man around telling me how to run the shop the foreman said. "The closed shop is not necessary to the proper functioning of the union. In fact I believe that in open shops the unions have the better chance for de velopment." W. H. N1LES' BODY ARRIVES Masons Will Have Charge of For mer Hardware Man's Funeral. The body of Walter H.
