FATAL RESULT UNLIKELY Man Accused or Assault AVIth Dan gerous "Weapon Himself Shows Signs of Fight in "Which He' Engaged With Neighbor. Following the stabbing of H. G. Terry, a real estate dealer with offices In the Yeon and Alisky buildings, in a fight Saturday night on the front porch of his house, at 577 East Twenty-fourth street North. Adam M. Shannon, a con tractor connected with the Boston firm of Warren Bros.. Company and the Warren Construction Company of this city, was arrested yesterday on a war rant charging assault with a danger ous weapon. In the course of a fight, Mr. Shannon stabbed Mr. Terry eight times with a pocket knife. At the Good Samaritan Hospital, where Mr. Terry was taken after the fight, it was said last night that his wounds, while serious, prob ably are not fatal. One of his lungs is punctured, and one kidney is believed to be injured. PriMoner Avoids Incident. At the police station yesterday Mr. Shannon refused absolutely to discuss the incident. "I am sure Mr. Terry misunderstood my attitude." he said. "We have been friends and neighbors for years, and I have been a law-abiding citizen of this city for more than 30 years." In a statement made at the hospital Saturday night, Mr. Terry said that the fiuarrel arose over a child's bicycle. Either his daughter, Betty, or Mr. Shannon's young fon, Jack, found a bi cycle, he said, and both claimed it. Mrs. Terry told the police that Mr. Terry took the bicycle home when hi daughter told him that it had been given to her by Jack Shannon. Later in the evening, she said. Mr. Shannon came to the Terry house in a rage, called Mr. Terry out, and started the fight. Mrs. Terry says she separated the men after they had been fighting for several minutes. .VrciiMd Out on Bail. Mr. Shannon informed the police after his arrest that he had used his knife only as a last resort after Mr. Terry had struck him several times. He showed few effects of the struggle. When asked whether or not the fight really started over a child's bicycle. Mr. Shannon replied: "The bicycle was a very small part of it," but would not commit himself further. Mr. Shannon was released from cus tody last night on $2500 bond. Munici pal Judge Rossman and Neill Crounse, deputy clerk of the court, made a spe cial trip to the police station from their homes to issue the warrant for Mr. Shannon's arrest, and to accept his bail. TAG DAY BIG SUCCESS TH.HKS OF RED CROSS EXTENDED TO COMMITTEE. Secretary t ror.lrr In Letter to Mrs. Ferdinand E. Reed Says Failure of Local I nit Was Averted. Grateful appreciation of the aid given the soldiers' and sailors' Christ mas fund by the committee of Port land clubwomen which planned and carried out the most successful tag day in the city's history, is voiced by the Portland chapter of the American lted Cross in a letter to Mrs. Ferdinand K. Reed, chairman of the tag day com mittee. The letter follows: "L)ear Mrw. Reed.

Coman. of the fuel oil investigating committee appointed by State Fuel Administrator Fred J. Holmes, has called a conference of his colleagues for this morning, at which time William' Sproule. president of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, will advise with them regarding the crude oil situation in California fields. The Portland committee of building owners and managers is seeking all information having a 'bearing on their problem of obtaining an adequate sup ply of oil with which to heat the city's big buildings using this fuel during the Winter.

The Christian is the one who drops avarice, uncleanness, and godlessness of every kind, and puts on love, purity and Christlike virtues. Mere entrance, upon a religious life is not sufficient. There is no outward or dinance that can convert a man' into a Christian. There must be the trans forming of the inner life a new crea tion. "Some people find a deal of satisfac tion in their ability to hate. If you have an enemy unforgiven. God is not with you and will not hear you. You may say T can forgive, but I can't for get." That means you have not tor given at all. "Religion is something more than talk. Christian faith is an active prin ciple. The proof of its genuineness is in doing.

Olin Eldridge.. pastor of the Mount ' Tabor Methodist Episcopal Church, yesterday morning called upon church members to "live" the Christian life as well as to "talk" it. and at the same time tendered his pity to the non church members who eschew religious devotion on the ground that there are too many hypocrites within the church. The sermon was on "Appropriating Christ," and was built on the text: "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."

A radical departure rom the tradi tionary presentation, of the eternal tri angle in playlet form is being evidenced as the headline act on the new Orphe um bill. So often in truth, too often the dramatic in vaudeville has to be so condensed that if its punch remains, its action has gone wool-gathering. Just so is it if the action is emphasized there's no time left in the prescribed half hour allotted to a sketch for any sort of worth while dialogue to creep in. It's a case of you can't have every thing. Sketch Deserves Praise. Emily Ann "Wellman's sketch, entitled "Young Mrs. Stanford," deserves un qualified praise. It is a living inspira tional dramatic tncident, possessing perfect realism. It is impressively en acted and extremely interesting in the method of its presentation, a sort of motion-plcture-come-to-life. The pro gramme calls it a "flash drama." It has all the qualities of a two-hour drama all the essential high lights of a big dramatic play, condensed into a series of 11 climacteric scenes, wherein the actors move and speak and have their beings in a shadowland of back ground, with a golden, gleam of light illuminating each speaker or groups of speakers. You'll have to see it to get what I mean. That's the nearest I can come to embalming in cold type the marvelous scenic effect of the act. Triangle Story's Basis. The story is another adjustment of the well-known triangle of the trust ing wife, the philandering husband and the "other woman." In this Instance the "other woman" has a husband with a passion for guns, and so there's an other angle. Also, there's a sneaky valet and a trusty secretary oh, really quite enough actors and enousrh plot ajid thrills and odds and ends of 'excite ment to make a whole evening's play. But it's all crowded into 11 brilliant 3-minute episodes, in which the ar tistry of Emily Ann Wellman is even more brilliant. She makem the role of the deceived wife who wins an un sought vengeance an impersonation of rare dramatic value, bringing to its interpretation a fine combination of personality, an intelligence of the deeper requirements of the part and an impressive vocal expression. Jealous "Wife Role. The role is that of a jealous wife, of over-loving type, who finds the re venge she is seeking and when her trump card is forced into her hand, deliberately throws it away. Because of the many excellent points in the production, quite as much in the acting and in the sheer novelty of its pres entation, the audience paid delighted tribute and begged a dozen curtain calls. Miss Wellman has a fine and adequate support in her company of six. Arthur Deagon whose work is par ticularly beloved in Portland, where he is known, returns with a delightful meandering in songland and smart chatter. His voice is full of melody and his smile and debonair manner un changed. A fine bit is his impersona tion of : bibulous gent. who. escorting his lady fair, gets all tangled with the waiters and sundry guests and the or chestra on a New Year's eve. Deagon does the role beautifully, never a shade too much for. reality, and always bor dering on the verge of friendly confi dences, punctuated with song. Lloyd and Brltt Merry Pair. A merry pair are Billy Lloyd, with a gay tenor, and George F. Britt. with talented toes. They chat profitably and sing happily, introducing a smart trav esty with Scotch atmosphere as a finale. A trio of funsters are Frank Burt. Ed Johnston and a girl who has a heavy thinking role. The two men are clever. They play and cut-up capers and go over like Niagara's of comedy. Cooper and Rlranlo In Car Skit. Max Cooper and Irene Ricardo have a gay little skit called "Aw, Gimme the Ring," and is a series of comedy chat ter and song strung to that title. Open ing the bill is "Lolotte." a skating bear with a personality-plus trainer who puts over a capital act, especially the raggedy dance specialty with Miss Bruin. The last episode of the always in teresting end sensational war pictures taken of the German retreat at the battle of Arras are on this week. They continue to hold and interest immensely and are of positive educational value and provocative of deep thought. There will be an added show on Wednesday night. VICTIM'S- FUNERAL TUESDAY Services for Mrs. Ida 31. Jones Are Arranged. Funeral services for Mrs. Ida M.

Recognizing that tuberculosis is num bered among the most formidable dan gers that may beset an army in the field, or a Nation waiting at home, as shown by the plight of France, the Ore gon Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis has launched a preventive campaign. 0 Through an arrangement between the medical division of the Army and the Oregon 'Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, soldiers from Oregon will be defended against tuberculosis with the same spirit as that which sends them out to defend their coun try against the Huns.

Henry Film. "My Country," a one-act play pre sented by George Matison and company, which heads the current bill at the Hip podrome, is one of the best war sketches that has come to town. The play deals with the' conflicting influences which beset a German-born, naturalized Amer ican on the outoreak of war between the United States and Germany. The play Is well-written, the situations true and the character delineation excellent: Fiddler 'and Cole are with us once again, with their llght-and-dark-brown comedy all mixed up in a big laugh. Fiddler looks like a regular Chino till he climbs into a dress suit, after which he becomes a minstrel extraordinary. Mistah Cole plays the piano and acts as an accomplice in the laugh-producing.

Sigmond and Manning, two serenad ers. offer a novelty in song and melody. Senor Sigmond is a wizard with a vio lin, and the singer of the act delights with some deservedly popular songs. An acrobatic act that is really unique is presented by the two Carltons. billed as "Silent Humorists.' Both furnish ex cellent comedy in silence, without over playing their opportunities. A feature of the bill which Hippo drame patrons have come to look for ward to is the O. Henry picture. "The Enchanted Kiss" is quite up to stand ard, and is not the least attractive num ber of a well worth-while bill. IS WAR PLAY WINS PRAISE g "MY COl'STRY" IS HEADLIVR AT. R TRACTIOX AT HIPPODROME.

NO ROMANCE SEEN IN SOX Red Cross Needs Dressing Gowns, Nightshirts, Sheets, Many Other Things, but All Desire to Make Surgical Dressings. Portland girls are just "craiy to make surgical dressinge . for soldiers." At any rate that is what they say. American Ked Cross headquarters in the Corbett building entertains dele gations daily from outlying towns and suburbs, of high school teachers, of ste nographers, and the burden of their plea is that they may make bandages lor soldiers. The high school teacher wants to roll bandages in intervals from her classes, the stenographer as the "boss" gives her a moment's rest..- Will they make hospital sheets or hospital clothing for the soldiers? They will not! They will make bandages or nothing, so there! Exaggerated? Not a bit. One Portland teacher with surgical training decided to organize a surgical dcesslng-room. and was terribly in sulted when the Portland chapter would not supply the material free of charge or at all. "I think you're lust trying to keep all the credit yourselves," she Insisted. Hoapltal Clothing; eded. Scores of women are busily at work making the clothing necessary in the hospitals, but the novice's ideas all ro mantically run to the "direct action" bandage or dressing. Here is the situation from the Red Cross viewpoint, as presented byMUs Alice Strong, acting executive secre tary - "Surgical dressings may only be made In work q rooms especially prepared and .- - i for no other purpose. There ts nothing personal In this, simply the lives of our wounded soldiers at stake. In Portland we have a great sanitary workroom, operating five days a week. We simply cannot permit surgical dressing workrooms to operate without a minimum of four days' work a week in a room used for no other purpose. "Otherwise we would risk the dress ings being dirty, we would tie up vast quantities of gauze, we might run the risk of the Army surgeons turning down some of our bandages because they were not up to specifications. o Thrills In Sox. "I appreciate wonderfully the self sacrificing patriotism of girls. I know how their romantic natures can see nothing necessary but bandages, but oh. there are so many other things that do not have to be made in surgical dressing workrooms, antlseptically pre pared. "Soldiers must have dressing-gowns, nightshirts, bed socks, sheets and a hundred and one other things. These can be made at meeting places. None might die if a speck of dirt got in them, as some might if it were among the surgical dressings. "I am sorry. I know there is not the thrill In handling a pair of sox there is in rolling a bandage: I know the tang of romance is lacking, but Jhe work is needed. Let's all be efficient. Let us do what is needed, and. not what we want." " HARDY TO BE HONORED VETERAN -VILt. HAVE AlDIEXtE WITH JAPANESE EMPEROR.

His landing in Japan after half a century was most touching, according to the cablegram received by the Oregon' News and the New World, a Japanese paper published in Pan Francisco. The message read: "Captain Hardy, renowned American sailor, is beuis welcomed throughout the empire. Kmperor Yoshihito haa signified that he will grant an audi ence soon to Captain Hardy. It will be an honor rarely conferred. Captain Hardy was openly impressed when ad vised that the Kmperor would receive him.
