NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS MAYOR ISSUES ULTIMATUM Gambling Dens and Vicious Resorts of All Kinds Must Be Elim inated, Says Executive. The police must close up gambling 1 liens and check the "wave of crime"" within three weeks to avert a big Khakeup, according to an ultimatum which Mayor Baker delivered to Chief Johnson and his captains and lieuten ants at a conference in the chief's of fice yesterday. The mayor's ultimatum has the "time fuse" stipulation, because he departed last right to spend three weeks in the east, and demands that the civic clean up be vigorously prosecuted during his absence. Following are the decisions at which the conference arrived: Police captains will be held strictly responsible for crime prevention on their respective reliefs. Deputy City Attorney Hirdman will he assigned to police headquarters to instruct the police In the collection of evidence and the legal technicalities necessary to avoid damage suits. Judge Will Get Orders. Judge Rossman will get orders to punish crime strictly and to "err on the side of society and not in favor of crime" whenever he has doubts regard ing the proper course. Regularly licensed physicians may take the places 'of internes in the emergency hospital. The city will build eteel gratings in front of the door of the emergency hospital ward, so that prisoners from the jail may be held securely. Charts showing the condition of all prisoners treated in the emergency hospitals will be sent to the chief of police, the captains and the health bu reau. The police will take the names and addresses of all persons entering re sorts commonly known as gambling dens, and officers will be on duty there for that purpose at all times. Session Rather Xolsy One. The conference began at 9:30 A. M. and lasted for an hour. Those present were Mayor Baker, Chief Johnson, Cap tains Inskeep, JenKins, Moore, Circle. and Harms and Lieutenant Thatcher of the war emergency squad. The session was a noisy one. Police denied stoutly that Portland was under going a "wave of crime, and protested that failure to close up gambling houses was due to the leniency of the courts, which either turned prisoners loose or imposed penalties so light that the law became a joke. Chief Johnson declined to admit newspaper reporters to the conference, but aside from that his part In the session was passive. The mayor indi cated that he held the captains and not the chief responsible for conditions. "Did Chief Johnson ever say or do anything to interfere with the per formance of your duties?" the mayor demanded. "No," the captains replied in chorus. Get Results, Mayor's Order. Well, then. It's up to you to get re suits." Mr. Baker thundered. "The ad ministration will back you to the limit in the sane enforcement of the law. No bonehead' plays, you understand. Xothine sensational, but just the or derly arrest of criminals." "No Alder hotel raids," commented one of the captains sotto voce, referring to a sensational daylight raid several years ago. The captains deplored the necessity of collecting evidence to obtain the conviction of alleged criminals, and deprecated the employment of attorneys by persons accused of gamming a 1141 so cial crimes. Sometimes, police asserted it is practically imposible to obtain such evidence as the courts require for conviction. Attorneys for the defense. they said, frequently dragged so many legal technicalities into a case that the arresting officers got lost in a maze of law. Brains to Fight Brains. "I'll speak to Judge Rossman about this." the mayor promised. "The judge means well, but he may not see things from the right angle. "You can't do anything with the clr cuit courts," wailed one of the cap tains. The discussion then turned on the practicability of Imposing fines of $ or less, so that the cases could not be appealed to the higher courts. The mayor promised that he would have City Attorney Hindman detailed to help the police bureau. "We've got to fight brains with brains." Mr. Baker said. "You boys tell your troubles to Hindman and he'll solve your difficulties." Mr. Hindman probably will act in an advisory capacity and leave the tria of the cases to Deputy City Attorneys Norton and Stadter, who have been rep resenting the city in the municlpa court. Investigation of Judge Ross man's right to parole prisoners and suspend sentences also came up for discussion. The decision regarding the emer gency hospital resulted from the rec ommendations of the citizen jury which heard testimony about the death of Eugiene Tuck, who died in the county jail of pneumonia which was possibly coniracteu 111 me tzi.y jail. ivir. raKe announced that he would enforce the recommendations of the jury and would even go furiher by trying to secure licensed physicians for the hos pital instead of the internes who in the past have been furnished by the medi cal department of the University of Oregon. Hospital employes testified at the in quiry that they hesitated to take pris oners charged with serious crimes, be cause they had no way of locking up a patient without locking the whole hos pital staff In the same suite of rooms. Orplieum. BY LEONE CASS BAER. I CHOES of the late war days rever I berate literally and figuratively the patriotic melodrama "An Ameri can Ace, which toplines the new Din t the Orpheum. Taylor Granville, who ppears advantageously in the title role with many patriotic sure-fire lines to use, made the melodrama into vaude- ille size from,a larger melodrama writ ten by Lincoln J. Carter. There are 17 haracters listed in the cast with a lot f unprogrammed supes in the capacity f American soldiers and German sol- iers. There are 11 scenes, and a stage manager, an assistant stage manager, a master mechanic, a master of proper- ies, an assistant to the master of prop- rties, an electrician, an assistant eiec- rician and a flyman, all needed, and 11 programmed. The first scene is an nn near Rocheue where tne Diraman lights to reconnoiter and meets the mart little daughter of the Keeper 01 he tavern. A raid has just been made by the Germans and the Germans and the audience is et into the secret that two of the vic- ims of the Huns' attack are not French as they assume to be. but German spies. They are sending messages through to he German lines and for a long time the Americans do not suspect treachery. The inevitable loophole is left, however. nd the wits or the innkeeper s oaugn- er and the native wit of the American ace are set to work to the undoing or the spies. It is all rather obvious and melodrama decidedly, but the spectacu lar effects cover the inconsistencies of plot and the zip of the very real bul lets carries more conviction than the tale. The battle in the clouds, for instance, motion picture and mechanical de ice, calls out applause, and so does he scene in the front line trench with the boys going over the top. Powder moke and the roar of battle accompany he action. Laura Pierpont is the interesting act ress, who plays the role of tne saucy alert Muriel, daughter of the innkeeper. Mark Harrison is highly natural as the nnkeeper. Mr. Granville gives a very notable account of his own role as the ace. Herschel Hendler returns In a new act called "Pianof lage," which is a de lightful musical turn. He dashes into the orchestra and leads it noisily while katie, plump and pleasing, expostulates with him from the stage where she is ndeavoring earnestly to warble. Goaded by temperament he leaps to the stage and volubly discusses his art while he plays fittle rambling happy melodies. He turns popular airs into nocturnes and nocturnes into jazz. When he plays medley introducing bars of all the best known airs and gets every one whistling and anticipating his next mel ody the fun runs high. Herschel re moves his mustache during the act. If he would also remove his hair we would be happier. Katie, as he puts it, works herself to death In the act. All Katie does is change her clothes, but changing their clothes would stop lot of girls. Diero returns with his piano-ac cordion and plays beautiful melodies, gay aires and classical ones, all of it in spirited understanding mood. He plays as if he loved to play, and the audience feels his mood and loves his music. Nora Kelly is an Irish lass, billed from Dublin," as one might suspect. black of hair, roguish of eye and plump all over excepting her nice ankles. Nora sings amiably and airily, ail sorts of haracter songs and she did "My Barney Lies Over the Ocean" better than I've ever heard it done. A talented pianist s Nat Goldstein who accompanies Miss Kelly, playing easily, smoothly and with musicianly skill. Willard Mack's comedy sketch "Who Is She?" returns with Joseph Bernard playing the usual husband and Ninita Bristowas the usual wife. They wrangle and make up, renew the fight and again make up, and so on ad infinitum, w'th domestic armistice apparently declared when the aurtain falls. The aeriH shaws open the bill with a sensational exhibition in aerial work. There is no show Wednesday night. Hippodrome. - PROOF that members of the fair sex who choose the legal profession as a life work can operate to success with out the aid of dusty volumes of Black stone is given in a delightful sketch presented at the new Hippodrome show which opened yesterday. Virginia Thorn ton is the attorney who uses a cosy apartment and a "bit of eight-year-old" to win her case. Charles King is the client, even though he had no knowledge of this when he entered the case. The act is full of interesting situa tions and is extremely novel, differing by far from the usual one-act playlets seen on the stage today. Memories of Joe Welsh, the famous Hebrew comedian, comes with the ap pearance of Jimmy Lyons, who. on the programme, is billed as "The Hebrew Statesman" and whose line of patter brings a continual chain of laughs. Just a peep into the regions below, where the temperature is always at a high point. Is given a comedy travesty known as "Down Below" and presented by Delmore and Fisher. The latter as a blackface comedian is a riot and Del more gives an excellent impersonation of Satan dressed in conventional "devlish" style. Laemy and Pearson, who scored very heavily last week in comedy, singing and dancing, were retained for the show this week, because of the illness of one member of trio billed to appear. Two Astrellas, tumbling pantomimic funsters, and Klein and Clifton round out the vaudeville show with an ex cellent photodrama featuring Helene Chadwick in "Caleb Piper's Girl." Two Oaks. ORE than merely entertaining, the Armstrong Folly company at The Oaks proved a delight to the many who made the popular riverside park their Sunday pleasure place. For the week which opened yesterday the Armstrong company is appearing in a refreshing bit of musical comedy entitled "Let's Go," in which are featured the famous New York Winter Garden runway girls. Inclement weather was no bar to the interest which Oaks' patrons took In the big attraction. Throngs received the comedy artists with much applause. and especially did the dainty leading lady, Perqueta Courtney, receive the plaudits of her audiences at the after noon and evening shows. Let s Go" proved a delicious travesty on the laughable trials of the hotel proprietor, and 1 Ed Armstrong and George Rehn took every advantage of the circumstances of their purchase of a hotel to make riotous fun. The. work of the Armstrong trio. Farnsworth, Ives and Leahy, was ac corded special consideration by the audiences, and in a group of new songs the trio added materially to the pop ularity of their work during the first week of their appearance at The Oaks auditorium. Lillian - Lewis. premier dancer with the Armstrong company, scored popularly in "The. Dance of the season, in which she will appear throughout the week. But the center of attraction of "Let's Go" proved to be the Winter Garden runway, in which the beauty chorus blithely entertained the audience from a long runway down the center of the auditorium. During the day the many Oaks park concessions. Including the skating rink with its special music, drew the at tention of many who spent Sunday in the delightful surroundings of the pretty park. PORTLAND HAS FOLLOWERS OTHER YOUU CITIES HOME" PLAX "OWX CAMPAIGNS. Pamphlet Soon to Be Published Showing What Is Being Done Here and Results. Lyric. THE operation which Ike and Mike undergo in "The Twins" at the Lyric this week Is neither painful nor serious, and is pronounced by an as a complete success as a gloom dis pelled In fact, it's all a conglomera tion of amusing situations and non sense, and couldn t well be anything but jolly with two such riotou3 fun- makers as Ben Dillon and Al Franks in the leading roles. The story is that an ambitious doctor advertises that he will pay $10,000 to the man who can furnish him with the most freakish subject for his opera tion, by which, of course, he will win everlasting fame. He promises, in ad dition, the hand of his daughter Laura. Now Jack Boardman is in love with the fair Laura, and is not to be outdone, so he hires Ike and Mike to impersonate the twins, dolls himself up as their manager and takes them to the doctor. The bargain is made and the fun com mences. The twins, being Chinese, jab ber in that language mostly, except when they get hungry, and then they use rather plain American. Cne smokes and the other puffs out smoke, and the doctor is hoodooed, and Jack and Laura get the reward and elope. Dorothy Raymond and the chorus made a hit in "Dance and Keep Young." Al Franks and Ben Dillon caused a riot of laughter by their attempts at dancing. ".My Soldier Girl," by Jewell La Valle, assisted by the chorus, was very catchy and prettily costumed. The singing of the Lyric trio called for several encores. There is a big moving picture bill before the show, showing an interest ing travel picture, several Bray come dies and concluding with Charlie Chap lin in "The Floor Walker." "The Twins" will be shown at the Lyric the rest of the week, with mati ness daily except Thursday. Success of Portlands own your home" campaign, now widely known, has elicited hundreds of Inquiries from other cities planning similar campaigns with the desire to benefit by the ex perience of those in direction of the local work.

PRELATE MAKES APPEAL JEXA D'ARC HOME DRIVE NEEDS GREATER ACTIVITY. SOLDIER KILLED BY CAR Boyd Traylor, 25, Dies at Hospital Following Accident. Boyd Traylor. 25, a former service man, later an employe of the Columbia River Shipbuilding; company, died at Good Samaritan hospital last night as a result of falling under a St. Johns street car yesterday. His skull was fractured and both of his legs and one arm were cut off. Mr. Traylor, who had been calling; on Miss Blanche Letson, 255 West Russell street, tried to board the car as It passed the Letson residence. He slipped and fell under the trucks. Street car employes called an ambu lance and sent him to the hospital. The ambulance collided with an automo bile at Twenty-third and Hoyt streets. No one was injured in the collision. Deputy Coroner Goetsch took Mr. Traylor's body to the morgue. Prob ably there will be an inquest to in vestigate the accident. Mr. Traylor is survived by two sisters, Mrs. G. V. San der and Miss Loretla Traylor, both of Urain, Or. Strand. Fourteen negroes who sins "Sweet Clementine" so sweetly that the man ager could not deny three encores, was the feature attraction on the bill open ing at the Strand theater yesterday afternoon. The picture, entitled "The Bared Fist." featured Henry Carey in a west ern drama. Playing opposite Carey was Betty Schade. Fast action and sturdy and trustworthy ideals characterized the picture. The Memphis minstrels are of "the good old days" variety. Two end men, chock full of new jokes of southern flavor, a competent interlocker. a five piece orchestra and nine good negro voices are some of the reasons for the popularity of this act. Although not as prominent as some members of the act, the dusky-skinned accompanist was nevertheless fascinating not only for his ability of following the leading the singers, but for his familiarity with his instrument. Bond and Conway, two musicians who showed skill in handling the piano, violin and harp, opened the vaudeville programme. Their concluding selection was a patriotic medley arranged by the pianist and accompanied by his pretty partner on her harp. In good season was the second num ber, featuring Henry Gunson, an angler and singer. He opened with "Sailing, Sailing Over the Bounding Deep," then he followed with another equally salt breathing piece. A quick change and Mr. Gunson appeared as a veteran of '61 and his patriotic song brought a liberal hand. TRANSFER HEAD IS DEAD C. M. Olsen Dies at Hot Lake After Ixn g Illness. C. M.

"Will the people of Oregon absorb the debt on the Jeanne d'Arc, the pro posed residence hall for emplpyed girls and young women, or will they allow that burden to fall upon the Sisters of Mercy, who are to conduct the hall, and upon the Immature girl of small earn- 1 ing capacity, fro whom the institution is intended. Is the question that must be answered during the coming week, and I hope it will be answered in a way that will do credit to Oregon," said Archbishop Alexander Christie in discussing the progress of the drive. "The chief object of this residence hall is to provide a home with all that the word implies to girls without home ties and influences; to give them the Joy and freedom of a home and at the same time to safeguard them from temptation ,and our hope was to per form this service at a minimum of cost."
