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.

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.

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.

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. His
imitation of a Srot bagplpist was a
riot. A tall girl named Jeanette
assists. The tenth episode of
"Smashing Barriers" is being shown.
It is a story in itself, an excitinsr eoi-

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

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
