Evening;.
Talk by Addison Bennett, of
The Oregonlan. "Opportunities for
Public Service From the Stand
point of the Newspaper Man."
Forest supervisors who have been in
esslon at the. Multnomah Hotel nil
week had a chance yesterday to see the
rood results of their endeavor to pro
duce 'the best sort of range for cattle.
They visited the Portland Union Stock
yards and the plant of the Union Meat
Company and heard from officers of
those two Institutions that the good
management the Forest Service had
given the ranges in the National for
ests had produced better grades of
meat and better wool.
The talks yesterday morning were on
livestock subjects and the feature was
the talk given by E. F. Averlll, Inspec
tor of this district for the Biological
Survey In the extermination of preda
tory animals.
Three main points were covered by
Mr. Averlll. They were that through
the system of employing hunters the
Government had been more successful
than by using the bounty system of
killing; that, through the co-oi sratlon
ot the Forest Service, an efficient or
ganization had been built up, and that
the service tried to get the animals
that were doing the greatest amount of
damage, and not the greatest numoer,
as was the case under the bounty sys
tem. He said that bounty seekers
killed the animals Indiscriminately, not
making any endeavor to stamp out
those doing the greatest damage to
cattle. v
The expert hunters employed in kill
ing predatory animals are hired on
recommendation, he said, and retained
only through merit.
He also told of the poison and bait
experiments now being carried on in
his department for the extermination
of predatory animals.
There are In this district, comprising
Oregon and Washington, from 40 to 76
expert hunters employed In killing
predatory animals. The number varies
according to the season of the year.
His hunters are employed the year
round and are able to get the animals
when they are doing the greatest dam
age. Harvey Harris, supervisor of the
Wallowa forest, opened the programme
yesterday morning by a talk on prac
tical application of range reconnais
sance. Cyrus J. Bingham, who has co-operated
with the Biological Survey to
such an extent that it has found It un
necessary to invade his forest, was an
other speaker. He. gave an Interesting
talk in connection with the co-operation
that should exist between Gov
ernment agencies for the destruction of
predatory animals.
MISSION SERMONS HEARD
"Two Standards" Subject of Ad
dress by Father O'Hara.
The two weeks' mission at St.Mary's
Cathedral continued last night with a
sermon on the "Two Standards" by
Father O'Hara.
The speaker pictured the opposing
forces of Christ and the world. He
declared there could be no successful
compromise .between the spirit of the
two. He said: "The standard of one
of the opposing armies is the crucified
Christ; its motto is inscribed in the
words of the sermon on the mount; its
marching orders are the 10 command
ments given on Slnal amid terrible
sanctions. The standard of the other
army is that of worldly success, ease
and comfort."
J. P. Thompson to Talk. '
James P. Thompson, National orga
niser of the I. W. W.; Anton Johann
son, general organizer of the building
trades of the American Federation of
Labor, and Albert -6trelff. National
committeeman of the Socialist party,
will speak at a public meeting at
Arion Hall, Second and Oak streets,
Sunday rriht at 8 o'clock.
Opportunities for
Young Men
Every practical and successful trades
man must go through a trade school
ing and the more thorough the school
ing the better mechanic he is. This
young man, Raphael Tartaro, was bprn
in Naples, Italy, and served many years
as an apprentice watchmaker with his
father, who still conducts a Jewelry
store In Naples. His work for years has
been with the fine and Intricate watches
of Swiss and European make. It is al
most Inconceivable the work he can do
on the very little watches now in the
market. He has been with Staples, the
Jeweler, eight years and is a necessary
adjunct to that business.

4TT1HB BLUE STREAK" is another
I or those red-blooded photo
dramas William Fox lias been
turning out regularly for the film fans.
It is reminiscent of the lurid old 'days
of the frontier, when men shot first
and asked questions afterwards; when
every man, and nearly all women.
toted" guns, and the popular pastimes
were holding up stages and filling the
cemeteries.
William Nigh, until recently a Metro
player-director, makes his Fox debut
In this film, while little Violet Palmer,
a 17-year-old innocent, is introduced to
the film public for the first time. Nigh,
a splendid character actor, is the author-director-star
of "The Blue Streak."
He la the "blue streak." a desperado
and holdup man who abducts a girl by
way of variation and bumps squarely
into a reform movement and matri
mony.
Nigh is first presented as the weak
ling son of an express company official.
The old man turns his drunken son
from his door, and tells the boy that he
would rather have him rob express mes
sengers than continually "sponge" for
carousal money. Then comes the West
of gambling halls and guns, with the
one-time weakling now known as the
Blue Streak, ' a desperado who Is light
ning on the draw. He abducts the
Fledgling, a girl about to - be bar
tered to a gambler, and carries her off
to his stronghold. There she subdues
the wild spirits, reforms the "Streak,"
and wins him for a husband.
The week-end bill is noteworthy for
the inauguration of the Know Amer
ica" series of Pathe "combltone" pic
tures. This "combltone" process Is a
new coloring -discovery that la partic
ularly effective In scenics. Many beau
tiful spots In Southern California are
presented In the first Installment.
Hearst-Paths News and a comedy are
creened.
Sunset.
"Allen Souls" is the appropriate title
of an unusually entertaining photoplay
headlining the Sunset Theater's week
end bill. It is the second production of
the week at that photo-playhouse fea
turing Sessue Hayakawa, the handsome
Japanese actor, and is the most dra
matic subject in which this Kdpponese
player has been starred. "The Great
Vacuum Robbery," a two-reel Keystone
comedy, with Charley Murray as chief
funster, and Burton Holme Travelogue
complete the programme.
Racial conflict and the exposure or
the predatory white are dominant fac
tors In "Allen Souls." It is a tale of
two Japanese in this country Sakata,
a wealthy Importer, and Yuri Chan, bis
ward, with whom the guardian is In
love. The girl becomes infatuated with a
worthless young American, for, although
betrothed to Sakata, she longs for recog
nition from white society. The Amer
ican deserts the woman, from whom he
has been getting money for years, to
marry the Japanese because of her for
tune. He gets a marriage license and
on the strength of it entices the little
Japanese to his rooms, aiming at a
mock marriage. The guardian, know
ing his character, follows, and unable
to cure the girl of her infatuation, tells
her that she has no money, and that
for years she has been living oft his
bounty.
The American lover immediately
changes front and returns to the wom
an who has been providing so gener
ously for him. Yuri Chan locks herself
In a room. and attempts to shoot her
self, but the hammer of the pistol
catches In a coat hanging on the wall
and the cartridge does not explode.
There she is found by Sakata, whose
love and devotion she finally recog
nizes. '
A New Mary Pickford.
Had not Mary Pickford already at
tained a world-wide reputation in film
dom, "A Poor Little Rich Girl," as
adapted to the screen, and exhibited at
the Peoples Theater, would In one pub
lic showing establish her firmly as a
stellar attraction of the silent drama.
As the matter stands, the motion pic
ture version of Eleanor Gates" popular
story has invested Miss Pickford with
new laurels of which she may well be
proud.
Prior to her marvelously natural and
wonderfully appealing portrayal of
Gwendolyn in "A Poor Little Rich Glrl.
many critics insisted that the little
leading lady achieved her Immense
screen popularity solely through the
constant use of certain mannerisms,
tritely described as "cute," which, witrl
her undeniable beauty and personal
charm, made her the idol of the masses.
In "A Poor Little Rich Girl" she is
welcomed as an entirely new Mary
Pickford, whose personal charm and
fascination are enhanced a hundred
fold by the subtle art of an actress
who Uvea In the character of lonely lit
tle Gwendolyn and moves her audience
to tears and laughter by the exercise
of a genius which until now has never
found true means of expression. The
wonder of her performance lies In Miss
Pickford's ability to. avoid the affecta
tions so painfully familiar to the work
of the average mature person called
upon to depict the sorrows -and Joys of
childhood. Her Gwendolyn is a reality,
not merely a dramatic type of artificial
coloring, and the most blase cynic can
hardly fail to be swayed by the pathos
and delightful comedy of this notable
characterization.
Hines Insures Teeth.
Johnny Hines, who so ably supports
Miss Marie Dressier In "Tillie Wakes
Up," at the Star Theater, the new fun
film Just released by World Pictures
Brady-Made, has taken out the most
unique Insurance policy on record.
Johnny has Just insured his teeth
for a large sum of money. Here's the
reason, in Johnny's own words:
"My grin is my. biggest asset. It
Is my movie trade mark. It is worth
money to me. And if I should lose a
tooth or two, my grin would be spoiled
and I would thereby lose money. Con
sequently, to safeguard myself against
any monetary loss I have had my teeth
insured and while the premium that I
pay is large I know that it is a wise
move on my part to take this precau
tion.
Owing to the strange nature of the
Insurance desired, it was with some
difficulty that Johnny secured the in
surance, but he finally got it and is
now fully protected against loss of
one, any or all of his teeth through
accidents, fights, dentists or otherwise.
Concerning Porotby Phillips.
Dorothy Phillips, who Is making a
lasting impression through her char
acterization of Lola In "Hell Morgan's
Girl," at the Columbia Theater, is
another of the film's recruits from thS
stage, and not, as many have surmised,
a product of the motion picture studios.
This star, bom in Baltimore, and 25
years old next October also married
was in stock with the Fawcett com
pany at Baltimore for one year; was
Modesty In "Every woman"; and Mary
Jane in "Mary Jane's Paw." with H.
E. Dixey. She was with Essanay for
two seasons and then went with Uni
versal, graduating into Bluebird fea
tures. She is 5 feet SV4 inches tall,
weighs 125 pounds, and has golden hair
and dark gray eyes.
Peggy Pearce, leading feminine fig
ure in "Villa of the Movies," is a Long
Beach girl, 21 years old, and-has been
with Biograph and L-KO. Peggy is a
blond with blue eyes, and weighs 135
pounds in her bathing togs.
Show "Joan the Woman."
"Joan the Woman," the remarkable
photoplay version of the life of Joan
of Arc. starring Geraldine Farrar, fa
mous prima donna, received its initial
Portland screening Wednesday night.
J. V. Lynn, of the Paramount Company,
brought the multiple-reel subject down
from Seattle, and it was exhibited pri
vately at the Sunset Theater.
The score or more film people who
witnessed the DeMillo picture are loud
in praise of its artistry as well as spec
tacular and dramatic value. "It im
pressed me as no other picture ever
has," was the verdict expressed by
several.
Miss Farrar is assisted b$- a cast of
unusual strength. Including Hobart
Bosworth. Wallace Reld, Tully Mar
shall. Theodore Roberts and Raymond
Hatton.
Screen Gossip.
"The Single Code," a coming Crane
Wilbur feature, was written by the
star himself. It will be a Mutual re
lease. William Russell has planned a vaca
tion trip to his raisin ranch near Fres
no upon this week's completion of the
American-Mutual comedy drama, in
which Mr. Russell goes through a va
riety of thrilling experiences as a taxi
driver.
It is rumored that Francis X Bush
man and his side partner. Beverly
Bayne, will terminate their Metro con
tract shortly. Following a proposed
vaudeville tour, which is being ar
ranged, they will return to pictures
under another banner and be featured
In five-reel productions.
Contrary to reports. King Baggot is
not playing at Universal City, but Is
In New York City awaiting another en
gagement. Robert Thornby will direct the next
Sessue Hayakawa picture. In which he
will be co-starred with Vivian Martin.
Robert Warwick, head of the Robert
Warwick Film Corporation, has been
called the double of James J. Corbett,
former champion. So great is his like
ness to the great fighter that people
are constantly taking Corbett for War
wick and Warwick for Corbett. The
movie star formed the friendship with
Corbett years ago and each is a great
admirer of the other. At one time.
Just prior to the Sulllvan-Corbett fight,
to be exact, Warwick was a juvenile
pupil of Corbett's boxing class.
...
Stuart Holmes differs from other
photoplay stars of masculine persuasion
in that he receives almost no proposals
of marriage in his daily mail. The
noted William Fox villain welcomes
this absence of marriage offers as a
high compliment to bis art.
MORE SHIPS ADVISED
Great Opportunity Is Before
PortFand, Says N. J. Upham.
LUMBER BOOM PREDICTED
Dnluth Realtor Says City Can Be
come Great Building Center it
It Awakes Now and Offers
to Assist Government.
, Manufacture of small wooden ships,
or "ocean Jitneys." that are about to
be ordered in large numbers by the
United States Government, offer the
prospect of benefiting Portland in
mucn the same degree that the auto
mobile industry has "made" Detroit,
according to N. J. Upham, wealthy
realty operator of Duluth. Minn., and
president of the International Realty
Associates, who purchased the West
over Terrace residential tract a few
months ago.
"Since the start of the big war, a
total of five millions of ships, gross
tonnage, have been destroyed." said Mr.
Upham on his arrival in Portland yes
terday for a stay of a week or more.
"The United States Shipping Board is
now figuring on the quick construc
tion of a great number of wooden ships
of 2500 tons capacity .to be used in
carrying supplies to the allies. Rep
resentatives of the board are now on
their way to the Pacific Coast and
will. Irunderstand, be here on April 2,
Great Opportunity Opens.
"If the big men back of Portland
will go before these men and guar
antee to build all the wooden shins
needed in a short time there Is little
doubt ' but that this city can make a
ten strike that Is apt to make Port
land the great building center for 'au-
tomoDUes ror the seas.'
"The wooden ship can be built quick,
ly, and because of its auxlllarv nulla
combustion engine and light draft, can
qo operated quickly and economically,
since 'it doesn't reauire a larc-e crew.
"Not only that, but the low cost of
construction of the wooden ship should
revolutionize ocean traffic and give
ocean juney me place or the tramp
steamship.
' "Thus far Portland hasn't had any
war babies, but, with the new situa
tion, she Is getting to the point where
she will have a good crop of war
babies if the opportunity is grasped
properly. When those representatives
of the shipping board reach Portland
let's tell them that we will build all
the hips they want and rush that m.
tablFahment of 30, 40, or even 60, new
tujyuuiimng yaras along the river
front, if necessary. Think what this
would mean to Portland."
Lumber Prosperity Predicted.
Irrespective "of whether Portland is
called upon to build wooden ships for
ine-iovernment, Mr. Upham is confi
dent that there will be a tremendous
lumber boom here soon after the close
of the war, followed by an advance in
realty values, and his Judgment in this
particular Is backed by the minds of
the best tlmbermen in the country he
says. '
"Reliable statisticians figure that
Europe will need $2,000,000,000 worth
of lumber immediately after the close
of the war. This means that Port
land, among te other great lumber
producing cities, will be called upon.
"Meanwhile the shipbuilding indus
try should grow apace, as the demand
will not be limited to the wooden
vessels whioh the Government wants at
present. . Let Portlanders continue to
DUUd . wooden ships that will be used
to handle the lumber traffic and to
build up South American trade. Many
oi tnese snips will pay for themselves
in one year.
. . But Loses Patience.
The farther a person travels East
the more he notices a desire for war
with Germany. Mr. Upham reDorts.
He says Easterners seem anxious for
war and that the financiers figure that
it will not hurt business and that it
win not affect the stock market seri
ously or permanently.
"Personally. I believe war at this
time would help rather than harm
business," says Mr. Upham. "War
will certainly help Portland, for it
will mean the manufacture " of ships
which would not be called for if the
need were not created by war."
Mr. Upham, who was formerly presi
dent of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, will be the rue.it
of the Portland Realty Board today at
its regular weekly luncheon meeting in
the crystal dining-room of the Hotel
Benson,

JOHNSON FOR COALITION
QtriCfC HOUSE ORGANIZATION FA
VORED BY BJOQCIASf MAN.
Waahiagtesi Representative Believes
Repabllcaas aad Pi inn t "Will
Unite, Isawiar Otaere.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. March 12 (Spe
clal.) Representative Johnson, who
will leave Saturday night for Wash
lngton, declared today that he would
favor a House coalition to consummate
organisation a a quickly as possible.
He expressed the conviction that a
group of five unattached political in
dependents should not be allowed to
hold up the work of the Nation at this
time.
What will develop in the organiza
tion preliminaries or at the Republi
can caucus. Mr. Johnson, of course, was
uaable to say, but he said he believed
that neither the Republicans nor Dem
ocrats could control the situation, and
that a combination between the two
would be found necessary. He said
he would not be surprised If a coali
tion were effected whereby the pres
ent House organization, including com
mittee leaders and Speaker Clark,
would retain their present positions.
If a complete reorganization were to
be effected, he pointed out. consider
able delay in paving the way for legis
lation would result.
Mr. Johnson eald he regarded the
coming session as the most Important
of any held since the Civil War.
