A trio ' of sensational melody fiends are Brown, -Carstens and Wuerl, jcylo phonists, who are internationally fa mous for their gentle art In tapping out golden music on the xylophone. "One-eighth of a ton of melody and fun" is the billing of Tom Hurphy, and he lives up to the billing. "Vaudeville a la Carte" Is the title of a remarkably smart and nifty little set put over by Jermon and Mack. They sing and dance and string the two together with a cheery line of patter-chatter that sustains interest and entertains. The two LeDoux are lada with bar rels, which they use as a foundation for a clever and daring exhibition of acrobatic achievements. A distinct novelty In vaudeville Is offered by Ollie Oden and Joe Hol land, who have solved the problem of being original and at the same time incorporating enough dance, and song, and Impromptu rhyme-making Into their aot to please the highbrows, the lowbrows and the middle-register trows, too.

ROBBER'S BODY FOUND JESS HALL'S BROTHER LED INTO BUSHES BY BARK OF DOG. Stolen Rifle, Taken From Summer Home on Beach, Is Found Beside Corpse of Notorious Highwayman, TOLEDO, Or.. May 10. (Special.) The body of Jess Hall, the notorious highwayman, was reported found Wednesday in the brush near Seal Rocks, about 12 miles south of New port. Sheriff Geer immediately left for the scene. The violent barking of a dog at tracted the attention of Mark Guil liams and Frank Hall, a brother of Jess HalL who was on a visit in that locality, and together they followed the excited animal into the deep un derbrush, where they found the body. Beside the body was Hall s rifle, a rifle Hall had stolen from a Seal Rocks cottage a few weeks ago, when he, in company with Carl Don Tuell, robbed a number of Summer cottages at that place. Frank Hall identified the body as being that of his brother. Carl Don Tuell, aged 15 years, was committed to the State Reform School by County Judge Miller, upon his ap prehension at the time of .the Seal Rocks robberies. A reward has been standing for the capture of Jess Hall, but since the arrest of Tuell no defi nite trace of Hall had been discovered. 20 TEAKS GIVEN FOK ROBBERY Plea of Guilty Made When Some of Loot Was Discovered. Jess Hall, alias Howard, was com mitted to the Oregon State Peniten tiary tor a 20-year term after pleading guilty to highway robbery. He was arrested September 15. 1906, In com pany with Tim Bernard, after the two had held up automobilists along the Linnton road and relieved them of $195 and a valuable watch.

They were arrested at Front and Market streets early on the morning of the fifteenth by Detecttive Captain Bruin and Detective Price. Both put up a stiff battle with the officers and it was found necessary to knock out Hall before their arrest could be ef fected.

Bernard was a metal worker and was only 19 at the time of his sentence. Hall had the reputation of being one of the strongest men In the Oregon penitentiary.

Ii. 31111s Says That, in Spito of , Lack of Information, Many Ap plications Are Being Filed and State May Take $10,000,000. While Portland's share of the Lib erty Loan will not exceed $2,500,000, if it is apportioned on a basis of bank: de posits, it is probable that this town will subscribe more than twice that sum. Portland banks already have taken more than $1,000,000 of the short-term notes issued by the Government to pay the expenses of the war until funds from the Liberty Loan are available. These notes will be convertible into Liberty Bonds at par on July 1. But in addition to this $1,000,000. in dividual investors have made Informal application for fully $1,000,000 more. It Is probable that the Oregon com munities outside of Portland will dupli cate Portland's subscriptions. It would not be surprising to see Oregon's subscriptions aggregate any where from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. "I am confident that Portland will do its part In financing; the war," said A. L. Mills, president of the First Na tional Bank, yesterday. "The substan tial subscriptions to the short-term loan, indicates the interest and enthusi asm of the banks and investors gen erally. "In the case of the short-term notes the banks absorbed the state's entire allotment, and more. Part of the sub scriptions offered by the banks were rejected because the loan was heavily over-subscribed. "While we have been unable to offer our patrons any detailed information on the terms of the Liberty 'Loan we have had scores of inquiries from per sons, willing to take bonds In amounts varying from $60 to $5000. "Obviously, finances are a prime es sential in carrying on the war suc cessfully, and I believe the people fully realize this. For that reason I look for them to come forward and sub scribe quite generously when the bonds formally are placed on sale." Inquiries at the First National. Ladd & Til ton and other banks have been so frequent that special clerks have been detailed to care for the appli cants. All the banks and trust com panies have arranged, however, to han dle the loan without the customary commission or brokerage fee charged on sales of industrial and municipal bonds. Information la Lacking. However, the banks lack much of the information that their clients desire, du to the fact that Congress Itself has not fully' determined the particulars. It is known, however, that the bonds will bear 3 per cent Interest and that they will be convertible at par into securi ties paying a higher rate should the Government at any subsequent time issue them. Many inquiries have come to Port land financial institutions from cus tomers in the country and It is prob able many bonds will be sold by mail. Jt is reported that Congress may au thorize postmasters . to eU liberty bonds, too, so that residents of the rural districts can buy them with a minimum of inoonvenience. Many shrewd investors are prepar ing to sell industrial securities and buy liberty bonds. The reported plan of Congress to levy Increased taxes on excess profits is expected to cause some heavy unloading of Industrial stocks, as reflected in the tone of the market the last few days. There Is little probability, however, that the Government will depart from Its time-honored tradition of main taining municipal bonds free from tax ation, and for this reason many au thorities look for municipals to con tinue a favorite form of investment security. WAR LECTURE SCHEDULED Professor Scliafer to Speak, Before Civic Leajrne Tomorrow. "The TJnlted States In War" is the topic for discussion at the regular weekly luncheon of the Oregon Civic League at the Multnomah Hotel tomor row.

CANADIAN FOLKS COMING Teachers In Large Numbers to At ' tend Convention Here. Perhaps the new tie between th. United States aad Canada, that of Miles in a great war, is responsible for the fact that a large number of teach ers from Canada are planning to come to Portlanad for the annual National Education Association Convention in July. Advance reports from various Cana dian provinces are to the effect that very large numbers of teachers will come here for the gathering and oth ers besides teachers will also make the trip. In fact, all reports indicate that an Immense number of visitors will be here. Southern Pacific Pays Dividend. SAN FRANCISCO. May 10. Southern Pacific Railroad officials announced today the receipt of advices from New Tork that the usual quarterly dividend of $1.60 had been declared. The divi dend will be payable July 2 to stock holders of rerord May 31. TAT!, Help to Win the War Now, if ever, must the people of America prac tice Thrift. Ours is the task of absorbing the greatest Government loan of history. Banks will do their share, but most of their money is so invested that they, alone, cannot take all the bonds without great harm to the country's business. The capital of the Nation, held in small amounts by the people, must come to the aid of the Government in thus crisis. Additional capital must be created by saving.
