JL en having a disorderly dance at
213 Marguerite avenue," Patrolman
Shoemaker was notified last night. He
hurried there, listened to the music of
a phonograph, and the sound of dancing
inside. He rang.
The music and dancing ceased. There
was a dead silence. Then a small boy
answered the door.
"Where's your mother?" the police
man demanded.
"Mother, he wants you!" the lad
shrilled. Another pause, and a woman,
dressed in man's clothes, appeared. The
policeman stated his business.
"Come ircide and see the crowd,"
said the woman. Thereupon she intro
duced her small daughter, her smaller
son and a woman friend.
"We're all alone here, and eometimes
I dress in my husband's clothes, and
we dance to while away the time," one
explained. "I'm so sorry we disturbed
anyone."
"Er-er-ump-p-hhh!" gro-rled the po

MUNICIPAL. JUDGE ROSSMAN yes
terday rendered a draw decision
as the grand finale to the boxing bout

Harding at Broadway and Washington
street Tuesday afternoon.
Benjamin admitted to the court that
Harding had been dared to step from
a. Union Oil Company truck and that
Harding had-delivered an effective blow
to Benjamin's left eye.
"If he had known who I was he
would have stayed on his truck," said
Benjamin. "I've got a professional
record, but I didn't want to hurt my
hands hitting him."
"I think you are a little too cocky
and have too much confidence ' in
your hands," said Judge Rossman.
Harding now declares that he Is wili
ng to take the professional on for
any number of rounds that the other
boy desires to go.
TROOPERS LEAVE SOON

and Will See Early Service.

Cavalry Squadron, comprising Troops
A, B, O and D, Major Charles K. ilc-
Dooell in command, will leave Camp
Withy combe for Camp Greene, North
Carolina. The exact day of their de
parture and the route ia withheld, for
military reasons.
Early next week the cavalry troops
will bo' followed by Batteries A and B,
Oregon Field Artillery. The time of
departure of the Third Oregon has not
yet been definitely fixed, but it prob
ably will be soon thereafter. v
There is & cavalry remount station
at Camp Greene, and it is understood
that the Oregon cavalry troops will
be mounted there and used to guard
pipelines now under construction. It
is probably for this reason that the
cavalry trops are to be among the
first to go to the camp.
Camp Greene, North Carolina, will
be the headquarters of the Forty-first
Army Division, in which will be in
eluded the Oregon and Washington
National Guard troops. The Forty-

r dered City Conrmissloner Kella
her before the City Council yesterday,
when a measure licensing chimney
sweeps was read. "Looks like a delib
erate move to prevent email home own
ers from cleaning their own chimneys.
I'm against it."
"Who introduced this measure?"
asked Commissioner Mann.
"It was introduced by Commissioner
Kellaher," answered Council Clerk
Grutze.
Commissioner Kellaher took the meas
ure and examined it. He said he had
never seen it before, even though it
did have his signature as its author.
"It must have been one of the papers
that dropped out of your coat the other
night," suggested Mayor Baker.
None of the other Council members
knew anything about the measure, and
Commissioner Kellaher disclaimed it, fio
it was forthwith killed.

Lecturer, Who Will Talk Under Aus

Frederic Villlers, the world-famous
war correspondent now on a lecture
tour of the United States in the inter
ests of the British Red Cross, is to lec
ture in Portland next Wednesday night,
September 12, at the Heilig Theater.
Mr. Villiers' lecture is illustrated with
tmee reels of motion pictures taken
on the firing line with the sanction of
the French government and more than
100 slides made from his own sketches.
Villiers' exciting career as war cor
respondent and artist began when he
was 19 years of age. He it must have

In Portland September
he created "Dick Heldar" in "The Light
That Failed." The name of Frederic
Villiers is known throughout the
world especially to those whose mem
ories go back to the '80s, when desper
ate fighting was taking place in the
Soudan.
Most of Life Spent at War.
The illustrated papers of England
featured his name and stories and
sketches, and he was the boyhood hero
of the old world. For Mr. Villiers went
across the desert with Stewart, and
every man in the column took exactly
the same risk.
War has taken up most of Mr. Vill
iers' life, and when he comes to Port
land he will relate h! ; intensely in
teresting experiences in the present
campaign. His drawings and photo
graphs will admirably illustrate the
story.
Mr. Villiers has met most of the great
soldiers of modern times.
"Perhaps none of them with whom
I have come in contact," he said re
cently, "has made a deeper impression
than the famous Russian commander,'
General tSkobeleir. Skobeleft had a re
markable natural genius for war, and
the influence which he wielded among
the Russians was not altogether due
to the high rank which he held.
Men Believe Leader Immortal.
"There was something about the per
sonality of Skobeleff quite Indefinable;
and from this came the belief among
his men that, even after his death, he
would appear again to lead tho army to
victory Should Holy Itussia be demoral
ized by her enemies.
