THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1910. IS 3 PROMS MADE BY CHIEF JENKINS Lewis Promoted to Captain; Fred West to Lieutenant. A. E. MASS IS SERGEANT Mayor Baker Approves Changes as Well as Policies of New Head of Police Department. Promotions of Lieutenant H. A. Lewis to captaincy. Sergeant Fred M. wVst to a lieutenancy and Patrolman Albert E. Mass to a sergeantcy were the first official recommendations of Chief of Tolice Jenkins. The recom mendations were immediately ratified by Mayor Baker following an hour's conference with the new police head. All the appointments will neces sarily be temporary, because of the temporary appointment of Captain Jenkins to the head of the police de partment. However, the officers pro moted will have the full authority carried by the positions to which they have been appointed and will prob ably retain the new standings at least until the end of the present adminis tration. Reduction of the emergency squad under command of Lieutenan Thacher from 25 to 16 men was another of the recommendations of the new chief adopted by the mayor. The men re leased from this department, with the exception of K. L. Phillips will be placed on beats throughout the city. Patrolman Phillips will be transferred for duty in the inspector's division, it was announced. Motorcycle Beats Proposed. Another innovation decided upon by Chief Jenkins will be the placing of eight men on motorcycles from 7 P. M. until 3 A. M. to patrol beats. Four men will work from 7 P. M. to 11 P. M. and four from 11 P. M. until 3 P. M. The men chosen for this work will be allowed to work overtime at least for several weeks, as it will be Impossible for the city to employ new men until the emergency tax measure Is approved at the special election to morrow, the mayor eald. Captain Lewis was recently pro moted from sergeant to lieutenant and placed in charge of the traffic bureau. For two years past Captain Lewis has been connpeted with the traffic division and has given the work of that particular branch of the department careful study. Under the new rating. Captain Lewis will have equal authority over his division as have either captains In the division. Chief Jenkins in formed Mayor Baker that he was in absolute harmony with Capt.. . Lewis and the manner In which he is con ducting the traffic bureau and that he stands ready to assist Captain Lewis to the full degree to obtain re sults in that branch of the police department. West Back From Overseas. Lieutenant West returned recently from extensive service In France with the American expeditionary forces. Lieutenant West left Portland with the old Third Oregon as a first lieu tenant and gained a promotion to captain in France, where he served as provost marshal In a large dis trict of France. He has been con nected with the police department for years and has worked up from the ranks. Lieutenant West will work out of Chief Jenkins' office, serving much in the same capacity as Cniet Jenkins formerly served with ex- Chief Johnson. Albert E. Mass, who has been pro moted to the sergeantcy vacated by Lieutenant West, has been working as information clerk on the second night relief. He has a record as an efficient officer and was one of the highest men- on the civil service eligible list. Strict enforcement of the curfew and after hours ordinances, careful attention to the enforcement of the vagrancy act, as well as a fight to the finish on the "radical element," are the principal planks in the new police chief's platform. Drastic Action Planned. All persons who have no visible means of support will be arrested, under orders to be promulgated by Chief Jenkins. In this way it is ex pected that many of the crooks now operating in the city of Portland can be apprehended and cither locked up pr driven from the city. The enforcement of the "after hours" ordinance, which prohibits anyone from being on the streets after midnigh. without a legitimate excuse is indorsed highly by Chief Jenkins. This law. Chief Jenkins maintains, has resulted in the arrest of numerous yeggmen and continued operation of the law, he says, will aid materially in the apprehension of crooks in Portland. The curfew law should be enforced. Chief Jenkins stated, because it keeps children from falling into the wrong environ ment. Crime to Be Suppressed. "My policy will be to suppress crime and clear the city of the radi cal element," said Chief Jenkins. "I feel that I have the hearty support of the men in the department, and, al though I realize that I am facing serious times. I am confident that with such support and the active sup port of the mayor that I will be able to give good service to the citizena of Portland. We have no room for the bolsheviki in Portland and the quicker the city is rid of them the better it will be for loyal citizens who desire an end to strife." Mayor Baker after the conference with his i w chief of police expressed himself as confident that Chief Jen kins would succeed. His long police experience, together with the loyal support given him by the members of the police department, the mayor contended, augured for success. "Chief Jenkins will receive the support of this office in every move that he makes. I have agreed with him on his every suggestion thus far and I know that with every man in the department ready to 'hit the ball' for Chief Jenkins we will see some startling results. Of course, the po sition which Chief Jenkins now holds Is filled with grief and he, like others, will have his troubles. But I feel confident, however, that he will solve many of the difficulties and give the city of Portland an efficient adminis tration." The statement issued yesterday by Chief Jenkins follows: "To the Public: "For the honor that has been con ferred and the great confidence re posed in me, which has resulted In my promotion to the position of chief of police, 1 wish to take this means of expressing my great appreciation and thanks to the business men and good citizens of Portland, who have so staunchly indorsed my appointment to the office: to my fellow-officers and members of the police bureau, who hav so loyally supported me in my efforts for promotion, and last ut not least to Mayor Baker for the gxeaX confidence he has placed ia me. In Intrusting so important and responsible a position in my hads. "In taking up the duties of chief of police, I do so with the great satis faction of knowing that the Portland bureau is made up of the very beat material, and is second to none in the matter of efficiency. That is needed most of all by the bureau Is the en couragement and co-operation of the good and loyal citizens of the city, and I will guarantee with such back ing, criticism of the bureau will quickly fade away. "I am therefore strongly urging the citizens of Portland to lend me their staunch moral support and backing, and when the wave of crime and dis order which is sweeping the country, and threatening the peace and happi ness of .every city in the United States nears our fair city, we will be able to combat any attempt at law lessness and disorder in such a prompt and business-like manner as will bring pride upon ourselves and ourT, community. , In the operation of the bureau, except those which will come to my atten- tion from time to time 'tending to , improve and perfect efficiency in the operation of the bureau, and which will best tend to serve the public, whose demands are always upper most In our minds. "It is my desire and aim to make my administration of the affairs of the police bureau as successful and devoid of mistakes and criticism as is possible. With this end in view 1 ask the continued loyal and faithful support of the members of the bureau and the co-operation of the citizens of Portland, that the great trust and confidence imposed in me by Mayor Baker may come up to the fullest ex pectations." Missouri Labor Backs Stand. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10.

NEW BILLS AT Alcazar. BT LEONE CASS BAEFL THE tremendous and modestly ac cepted ovation accorded to Rose Coursen Reed upon the occasion of her appearance as an integral part of a very fine production of "The Chocolate Soldier." and the sustained artistic success of the revival of this famous musical piece will continue for days to come to be the topic of honest congratulation among the friends of music in Portland. The versatility of the Alcazar com pany members was again demon strated in an emphatic manner last night. when the beautiful opera bouffe was given a muslcianly, alto gether delightwul and splendidly re hearsed presentation. The facile fashion in which the Alcazar singers turn from grave or gay melodies of one week to the graver or gayer airs of the succeeding week is a proof of the universal achievements of this native organization, but the vigor and earnestness they flung, to an Individual, into the inspirational com positions of "The Chocolate Soldier' served to further emphasize their gift for variety. To one whose theatrical memory has become somewhat impaired dur ing the last decade, the revival of this charming musical piece will act as an effective and compelling re storative, by virtue of its similarity with all the fine and prescribed things of a day before syncopation showed us its Jazzy head. In any sort of an Interpretation of this musically interesting work one would find much of merit. In this instance the production is of a caliber that exceeded the expectations of whose who are wont to pay consid erably more for their seats. The music. Oscar Strauss' at Its best, is brilliant and always charm ing. He knows the secrets of orehes trai rp.imrcpn and plays cunningly on one's penchant for favorite airs. "The Chocolate Soldier" is a thing of thor oughly enjoyable proportions. George Natansen gives a sense of dare-deviltry, to the title role, acting with fine enthusiasm and vigor and singing marvelously well. Mabel Wil ber, attracting by her personality al most as much as by her extremely fine Hfnsrinir ability, abundantly used her big, lovely voice in the role of Nadina Popoff. She responded gra- ciously by three renditions of the big m two " and her voice was a sweet, untired and charming in the next acts for the several duets lind solos the role calls for. Her singing with Mr. Natanson of the "letter song" was a splendid vocal and pantomime achievement. Temperamentally and as a type and vocally, petite Eva Oli votti fits the role of Mascha, the flir tatious. Rose Coursen Reed's playing of Aurelia Popoff, the susceptible mother of Nadina, and wife to Kasl mer the faithless, was delightfully done. Aside from the rich, sympa thetic smoothness of her voice and her intelligence in handling both her voice and the histrionic phases of the char acterization, Mrs. Reed was most in gratiating in appearance. Authoritative In bearing and in the display of his fine vocal art is Henry Coote. who sings the tenor role of Alexius, whose insistent "I never" be came one of the looked-for catch lines In his role. Detmar Poppen made an admirable and picturesque Massakroff of the Bulgarian army, with James McElhern adding plenty of comedy as Kasimer. Lee Daly and Edward Sedan added the novelty of a Russian dance and the chorus tn a riot of colorful trap pings sang Itself happily Into every one's liking. The production is hand somely put on and Is quite the best and most musically pretentious offer ing of the Alcazar season so far. Following is the cast: Nadina Popoff Miss Mabel Wilbur Aurelia Popoff, her mother.............. Mrs. Rose ounen Heed Mascha. her cousin Miss Eva Olivotti Lieutenant Bummerlie.

NATIONALISTS HOLD SWAY T. r-, i. wll with ........ - Population Place Is Com bination of Old and New. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. (Copyright by the N.w York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) KONIA, Turkey. Konia, says one legend, was the first city to emerge after the flood, and ii has developed the habit of making itself seen and felt in historical crises ever since. At present Konia is the object of inter est as the nrobable caDital of a pure- i ly Turkish state of Anatolia, should the Turks be driven out of Constan tinople. Whenever i danger impends on the Bosphorus the sublime ports looks to Konia as the city of the final stand of the Turks. This was the ancient Seljuk capital; so it is a sort of old home town to the rulers by the straits. Recent dispatches have reported Konia taken by the nationalists, un der Mustapha Kemal Pasha, but this was entirely a peaceful occupation, the population and the Italian troops assenting. Konia is now the seat of the Turkish nationalist movement. Of the 18.0OG inhabitants of Konia THE THEATERS Pantages. TARZAN billed as "the most In telligent animal in the vaudeville world." holds interest as the tpline act at PantageB. Tarzan is an ape like creature with a sense of comely which has been neatly made much of. and he creates lots of good funning by his adventures with the orchestra members. Tarzan is put through a series of tricks such as ball tossing, bicycling, smoking, pouring liquids from a bottle and drinking from s goblet. His manager, Felix Patty a nimble and mentally alert French man, adds zest and excitement, by his own smart pantomime and running accompaniment of conversation dur ing the act. Next to Tarzan In point of interest. but differing wholly in type of act is K. T. Kami and his company, con sisting of a pretty Japanese woman another younger Japanese girl and the helper. Mr. Kuma Is an oriental magician and wonder worker, who offers the superlative degree of ex cellence in the four or five sensa tional tricks he presents. One reaily amazing one is the disappearing girl when he places her body on a table, waves the recumbent figure into the air, and then snatches the silken scarf from off the suspended figure only to display nothing but atmo sphere. Mr. Kuma presents two clever cabinet tricks, and causes a Japanese maid clad in the colors of the allies to appear from a small flat box of colored scraps. He offers many puzzling feats, and the act is further enhanced by the quietness and rapidity of his work. Belle Oliver is a cheerful maid who is remindful of Sophie Tucker in some of her songs and gestures. Belle is amusing and is dressed smartly. Her best song is "That's a Fine Way for a Healthy Man to Spend an Evening." It is topical and tuneful and causes mirth. W. E. Whittle, a comedy ventrilo quist who has a flock of friends, made in the many years he has been in the vaudeville game, has a clean-cut and interesting turn. A diverting dance novelty is of fered by a clever pair, William Wolfe and Helen Patterson. William is a nimble youth and Helen Is a cute doll-like girl with a fine sense of dance and rhythm. Their songs are ana me r original steps occa 8lon much applause. They stage thel: offering in a hlgltly artistic way. and make It "way above the average terpsicnorean laeas. Dominique Amoros should feature his concertina playing for it's the best of its sort in a long time and he has a particularly happy, easy method of playing sweet tunes.

Olds, Wortman & King Dependable Merchandise prior to the war more than l.uuu were Turkish. It is the capital city of that part of Anatolia which is al most purely Turkish in strain. Here the sultans could come to rule over their own people, rather than, over a diversity of race, as is the case in Constantiople and the Ottoman em-, plre at large. Old and New Combined. Like most ancient cities, this one is a bewildering combination of the old and the new. When the visitor goes out on the trail of the Apostle Paul, who had exciting experiences here although the city was then called Iconium (Acts xiv) he finds himself running into ruins of the Seljuk period and into modern reminders of the mutual importance of Konia and the Bagdad railway. A large hotel, the finest in Asia Mi nor, was built here by the Germans in the early days of the Bagdad rail road project. This city is technical ly the beginning of the celebrated railway to the ancient capital of the caliphs, because the lines from Smyr na and Constantiople to Konia were already in operation under the French when the larger and more dazzling project was launched. Nat urally it became the base and head quarters for the building of the Bag dad prolongation. Aside rrom the hotel and the gov ernment building there are, no modern or civil buildings of any importance in the city. Most of the houses are of wood and as insignificant and ramshackle as those in old Stamboul. The bazaars also are Inferior, with nothing of distinction to commend them. Poverty now shows itself in all aspects of the city. Dervishes Shrine Open. Alert travelers among the military and relief workers who nowadays cross Turkey take advantage of the stop at Konia to visit the great mosque of the Dervishes, with its green cupola and gardens and Its tombs. One lucky enough to be pres ent on a Friday may see the dancing ui xne-wmriing uervisnes. This mosque Is one of the most elaborately decorated In all Islam, the hanging lamps being particularly numerous. Irreverent young Ameri cans remark upon the excellence of the dancing floor, but the real inter est centers in the huge tomb of Haz- ret Mevianna, founder of the Dervish order. I have seen many tombs of Moslem sultans in Constantinople, Cairo and Damascus, but none ap proaches in magnificence or size this one of a religious leader. This tomb is covered with gortrous heavy green silk, lavishly embroi dered in gold, and would bo cpunted neautuui oy any standards. There are others buried within the mosque. successors or nazrei Mevianna, but their resting places are obscured by his. Despite the famous fanaticism of the Dervishes, the venerable and bearded keepers of the mosque, in the high brown felt fezes and long cloaks, courteously show strangers abou. first, of course, requiring them to remove their shoes. Americans In Force In Konia. One of the oldest mosques in old Konia is now used as an arsenal and quartermaster's warehouse, being filled with all the miscellaneous equipment cf an army. Scarcely any of the stuff is new. The scene starts thoughts of a "holy war," merely be cause it is a reminder that there is no profanation in using even a venerated shrine-mosque as a storehouse for the paraphernalia of the soldiers of Ielam. One of the exciting incidents of Konia's civis life is the appearance of ice upon the market. it is manu factured at the American hospital, and the supply is greater than the hospital needj, so the surplus is sold to the local population, in the expec tation that all of the cost of the ap paratus will be borne by the busi ness. Heretofore, the only ice this hot city has known in summer has Store Closed Today been the pressed snow from the mountains Before the war. Dr. Dorld and Dr. Pest conducted a successful American hospital here, and Miss Cu.-rhman. a famous missionary. worked with them. Miss Cushman was left alone throughout the war to care for allied prisoners, Armenian orphans and refugees and pretty much everything else needing help. Now there is a fine staff of Americans doing hospital and relief work. Konia Is central for repatriation f refugees by ra'l. In these restless and uncertain times, with the city a natural rally ing point of all strictly Turkish ele ments. It may again have an Impor tant part to pliy. At present there Is a considerable force of Italian troops here, and they are getting alcng well with the native population. CANADA TO BUILD SHIPS Proposals for Two Fast Steamers Will Be Called For.
