HILL GOES TO RESCUE Trouble Located in AVee Hours of Stormy Morning While Weslover , Kesidents Try to Keep Warm. Only through valiant efforts have the men "held the fort" at the Port land Central Heating plant on West over Terrace during this snow storm and freezing weather. Had it not been for the ardent work of a faith ful few, all the Westover district would have- suffered severely from the cold. As it was. many families and institutions as well as the La vina hotel and the Wesihaven sani torlum have had cause to know what a winter at its worst in Portland can be. About two weeks before the cold epell started, the bondholders of the heating plant met to discuss what could be done. The plant was in solvent, the boilers were leaking, winter was coming on they little guessed how severely or how soon and something had to be done. So, after weighing the matter carefully and consulting John H. Hall, attor ney for the concern, the bondholders appointed Joseph A. Hill receiver for the plant. Mr. Hill immediately had the boilers repaired to eliminate the great waste of fuel and labor that had been one of tho causes of th failure of the concern. He bought one new and more modern boiler which also promised to be a money saver, but before this could be con nected to the plant the snow in a swirling, howling blast covered .he city and the heating plant on the terrace, like other parts of Portland, got the full benefit of the storm. Kuel Delivery Attempted. The Standard Oil company sent its regular 11-ton truck of oil up to the plant, but the drifts were so deep that the driver had to abandon his truck about five blocks from his destination. When early morning came the plant was snowed in, with enough oil to keep the engines going only a few hours. "If we don't get oil we'll have to shut down," the engineer tele phoned Mr. Hill, adding. "It breaks me all up to do it, for I know vhat it will mean. There's a truck of oil only a few blocks away, but it can't Kel here." . A call to Mr. Paul of the Standard ' Oil verified the engineer's conjecture. The driver had wo'rked with it de terminedly, but to no avail. He had left the truck on the terrace. Mr. Hill call for volunteers among the boys at the Hill Military academy and a large party of cadets plowed their way to the abandoned truck and fi iia''y got it to the plant. Everything wan lovely for a few hours, with the thermometer continuing to go down Suddenly the pressure at the plant vanished. Phone calls began to in quire, "What's the matter with the heat? It's stopped." I'ipr Rrenk Adds to Trouble. The engineer knew a pipe must have broken. But where? He called Mr. Hill, who went immediately to the plant. There was only one thing to do find the break. So. accompanied by Dlimn. he Btarted out with a map of the pipeline as a guide and with a flashlight. They went over the entire route. At 3 A. M. the break was found near the L. H. Tarpley resi dence. The two worked all night. As soon as other workmen could be procured and it was no easy mat ter to find them solid walls of con crete were removed. After many hours of labor under the most stren uoiAi cotiditions the leak was re paired. Meantime radiators and pipes in many houses froae and broke. When the people realized that crews of mer were working day and night to pro vide them with heat, they became, more patient and lit gas ovens or got electric heaters. Among those who are on the heat ing phMt line are John H. Hal1, Hugh MoGuire, Gunther & Hickey, Crock er'B drug store, J. P. jok, Lavina hotel. West Haven sanitarium, F. C I.lal pas. 1. H.

E1i?,iI:''V' 'ash - Dec- 14- (Spe- rial.) The merchants' na iarmers dinner, given Friday night under the auspices of the Aberdeen Chamber of ('Commerce, was attended by more than 100, many prominent ranchers from all parts of the county being present. Owing to the cold, many others did not come, the attendance being less than expected. Clark Savidge, state land commis sioner, was the chief speaker, taking the place of Professor Kreager of the State college, who could not arrive in time on account of late trains. A general discussion of problems affecting both town and country dweller was had. COLD STREET CAR, CHARGE Head oT Spokane Company Cited to Appear in Court. SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 14. (Spe cial.)

BY LEONE CASS BAER. A FEW years ago the Four Fords formed one of the sensational dancing quartets of vaudeville. Then they separated, the two boys to go on as singles, or with other partners, while the two girls, Mabel and Dora cast their fortunes together and be came known as the Ford sisters. They are at the Orpheum, opening yesterday. There is no other dancing team quite like theirs, because these two girls, English-born, have stud ied or picked up every variety of dance, except possibly ballet work, which is In. itself almost a career and must be captured early and main tained constantly. But in all the little queer steps jigs and clogs and wooden shoe won ders of terpsichore as well as es thetic ideas, clothed literally and fig uratively in present-day styles, the Ford sisters are adepts. They are personally attractive and dance miles upon miles with the same care-free abandonment to the mood of the mu sic, smiling delightfully when ap plause breaks in upon some especial ly difficult artistic achievement. They are marvelously graceful. Their feet seem winged. One thinks of swallows dipping and ascending in the air, of gulls riding on the crests .of waves, of poppies swaying and dancing in the sun, so rhythmic is their motion. Their first offering is "The Hunt" in which, if one has even an apology for an imagination, can be seen the spirit of the chase. In idealized white satin riding skirts worn with small hats and nodding red plumes, the two girls ride their imaginary steeds, flicking their' crops' . and jumping hurdles, cantering,, racing and paint ing a vivid picture the while they prance; 1 rn ' -another "moment they give us a minstrel echo from the past, introducing soft shoe tapping, sprightly cake walk memories and amazingly intricate heel - and toe maneuvers. Again they appear in picturesque silver brocade with caught-up trains to glide through the delicate, and dainty- graces of the "Mabel Dora" waltz. As their last number the two appear in stunning black, with gold and silver trappings, to whirl madly, through a sensational and brilliant terpsichorean achieve ment in which rapidity of movement is not sacrificed to grace. The act is handsomely caparisoned. Gowns, scenic ideas and even the lightings are unusual. Off to one side of the big stage is the Ford's or chestra, five men in the powdered wig and brocades of other days. Be tween steps the orchestra plays, and plays of course for the dances. .'hen tl.e act s --r and the audience keeps insisting on more dances one of the Fords remarks demurely. "We'd like to dance more for you", but, like all the other Fords we go just so far and then stop." Grace De M.-.r took us to market with Mrs. Newlywed, and to a church wedding with a vinegary, spinster and to the movies with a gum-chewing devotee who read all the captions aloud and discussed the plot with her girl chum. Miss De Mar is gifted i- the art of pantomime and her ex pressive big eyes can punctuate a sentence, or for that matter, tell the sentence itself. One sweep of her lashes, or an arching of her brow, speaks volumes. Her chatterbox, Mrs. Newlywed, confiding her do mestic affairs to the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker, her disgrunUed gossipy old maid at the wedding and her -"rankly human young movie hound, ran true to form as the audience knows them and proved vastly entertaining. Stuart Barnes returns with some new if unflattering opinions he has gathered about us girls. He arops into song, too, and amuses wilh one es pecially delightful plaint about the man he envies, the greatest saint in heaven, his wife's first husband. Mr. Barnes' chief charm in conversation is his naturalness, quite as if he were one of a party around a fireside and found life full of funny things to talk about. Jane Barber is a plump little maid with a f lutey, sweet voice, and Je rome Jackson is 9 or 10 or 11 feet high and thinner than .the milk of human kindness. Naturally they find lots to talk about, the main topic of conversation being Jerome's figur.e, and since the repartee is quick and Bure fire, the fun is proportionately great. They sing and send us into hysterics when they dance. Billy Frawley and Edna Louise have a keen little sketch centered around the activities of a night clerk in a hotel and the cigar girl in the same hostelry. They exchange ideas, replete with philosophy and cynicism, and then have an amicable under standing set to song and steps. Edna is a pretty little personage done in gold and pink and blue. A capital opening act is offered by Sterling and Marguerite in trapeze episodes of a startling nature. Mar guerite, who has a beautiful young body, is a wizardess at ragtime dance, and her feet keep busy on the ground while Sterling does daring things on the bar above. The closing act is. Howard's Spec tacle, a small circus with a roped-off keys' combine together in tricks that ; nlease. P. S. This show closes with the Wednesday matinee. Hippodrome. S1 IX SERENADERS, making up a eritable concert orchestra, are the headliners the fore part of this week at the Hippodrome. Among the fine selections furnished by this troupe are cornet solorf by James Donald Lindley, a versatile young musician. Another attractive num ber is a trio, three girls playing the saxophone, violin and piano. A most remarkable foot has one of the pair of Conwell and O'Day. "Dark town Detectives." This extremely sober blackface artist, after deliver ing a number of expressive grunts, that might be interpreted as "yes" and "no." gets unwound and plunges into a little rapid footwork. When he tries to stop his dance, lo and . be hold, his feet decide to keep it up and while head and toes apparently debate on the matter the audience enjoys some genuine laughter. "He. She and a Piano," is the title of the Wood and Law son skit. The pair have a Turkish song and put on a fair bit of Harry Lauder mimicry. Some clever imitating is done by Leo Haley, who is heralded on . the pro gramme as "Nothing Serious." Haley has a ukulele and while he plays it he hums like a steel guitar. He also entertains with a representation of an old-fashioned phonograph in a Greek bootblack s parlor. Harris and Harris ave some good tumbling and Bert Collins and Betty i Dunbar have a song and du: .e of The latter pair close their fering. act with a dainty bit of stepping.

THE THEATERS Baker. BY LEONE CASS BAER. W1 ILLIAM GILLETTE'S well- know role in "The Private Sec retary." of 36 years ago, is being re vived this week at the Baker by David Herblin. Mr. Herblin probably was not born when the play had its premier in London in 1883, and ten to one he never saw any of the other revivals, but he faithfully follows the pictures and adheres closely to the business as it has been handed down to him in script and hearsay. Thirty-six years ago old Catter mole, the excitable uncle of young Cattermole, asked the pHvate secre tary "what motive" brought him to a certain place.. "Locomotive,'1 "replied the p. s., and yesterday the Baker audience laughed as appreciatively as if the joke had been born Sunday, December 14, 1919. The story hinges on a mistaken identity. An . uncle returning from India mistakes an imbecilic spineless person who happens to be occupying his nephew's rooms for the nephew himself. The funereal, sad-visaged and Ir. offensive person, who is a meek mannered private secretary on the way to take up a positicn in a jun try home, thinks the old uncle is in sane. Given these premises you can imagine the working at cross pur poses. In the meantime, the real nephew, who is a post-graduate oat sower and fears his unknown uncle's displeasure, has gone as a private secretary to take the post of the real p. s. Thither hies uncle and later the sad young private secretary, carry ing his bundles and traps, which he constantly calls his "goods and chat tels." More complications ensue when an impressionable spinster mistakes him for a spiritualistic medium. One ludicrous if impossible situation fol lows fast on the ending of another and the action is rapid. Verna Felton and Geraldine Dare add sprightliness in the roles of giddy girls who take like ducks to water to all the wild teachings of the pseudo secretary. That role, by the way, is played in capital comedy mood by John G. Fee. Mr. Herblin keeps up the sartorial traditions of the role by plastering his parted hair above huge horned spectacles: wearing sad dark clothes plus galoshes, which form a large part of his conversation since he has either not forgotten to put them on or has forgotten to put them on. Claire Sinclair contributes an e cellent piece of work as the spinster who believes in spirits. George Taylor gets under the skin of the role of the old, peppery choleric uncle. William Lee adds a role of comedy as the tailor who yearns to be a social lion. Anna McNaughton's pantomime and her airs of flustration as- a landlady occasion hilarity. Th"e cast is rounded out by Mayo Methot prettily demure as a maid. Lie Millar as a friend of the nephew, George f. weDster as the friends father, and Irving Kennedy rushing in to serve, a warrant. It is .all quite Eng lish, and the uncle has one gay line about sending his nephew "to Amer ica to hobnob with Mormons." Well, 36 years is 36 years -nd it tells in plays, unless they're Shakespeare's. THE CAST. Mr. Marsland..... George P. Webster Harry Marsland Lee Illllar Knox Irving Kennedy Edith Marsland.....

PRINCIPAL acting honors- fall to Olive Finney and Clarence Wur dig and Will Rader in "A Close Shave," one of the prettiest and clev erest productions that has graced th Lyric stage. The bill, which opened yesterday afternoon, has a strong plot and is replete with comedy and mel ody and has a dash and snap to carry it from curtain to curtain. Olive Finney enacts a difficult char acter role with surpassing cleverness. Her charm is enhanced rather than hidden in the modest garb of a lady's maid. Developments show, however, that the demure lady's maid is not all ,she seems. Clarence Wurdig finds in the current bill the best lines he has had since his return to the Lyric stage this season, and his handling of them places his acting on the same high plane as his fine singing. Will Rader, picturesque and per fect in character, plays opposite Miss Finney in "A Close Shave.' His lines give him an opportunity, which he uses to advantage, to hold the whip hand in the biggest scenes. Carlton Chase as a detective satisfies every requirement of his part. Billie Bing ham, captivating bride, wins with her allure and jollity. Madeline Mathews' work opposite Clarence Wurdig win? favor. Joan Maidment and her win ning ways add to the attractiveness of the show, and Ann Mullally as a rkirted preacher is an unalloyed de light. Particular cleverness is displayed by all principals in their offering of song numbers. No interruption is made in the plot by the staging of the song hits which are sprinkled through the bill. "Listen to That Dixie Band," in the opening chorus, has an infectious swing, and "Picka ninnies' Paradise" and "I've Been Waiting for You" fill out the medley wholesomely. ' Individual contributions in songs are equally good. Clarence Wurdig's song. "Hand in Hand Again," scores, as does Olive Finney's "Kentucky Dream." Billie Bingham's "Naughty Waltz" is full of melody. Will Kader's "That's Nice" is tuneful and confi dential, and Carlton Chase's "Tulip Time" has a swagger that is hard to beat. The cold weather will not prevent the Lyric company from showing all week, with a matinee every day ex cept Thursday and a chorus girl con test Friday night and a "country store" on Tuesday night.

NEW DISPENSATION NEAR Cruelty, Avarice and Scoffing at Jesus Doomed, Declares Dr. Morrison in Sermon. "Yes. I believe that soon the end of this world is coming. May it come quickly. "We are near a new dispensation, and maybe we are in it now. "The leader of this change of our world is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, in his second coming. "I don't predict that the destruc tion of our world will be by a burn ing up. or, as some would have it, by this world's physical forces suddenly being reduced to powder. No man in his senses would so predict, trust ing in the God we know and be lieve in. "The world, I hope, will be de stroyed in this dispensation is the cruelty of it, its avarice, its refusal to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, or the blessed faith he left with us, or the fatherhood 'and love of God." The speaker was Dr. A. A. Morri son, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, speaking yesterday morning in a sermon entitled "The End of the World." "Jesus brought with him when he lived in Bethlehem of Judea, a new motive for human obedience to Al mighty God," proceeded Dr. Morrison. "The former kings of Israel taught the sacrifice of goats and sheep, Jesus taught the gospel of infinite love. But the world would not hear him, then. In our day, suppose Jesus, with his gentle voice 'and loving heart, came to talk with the same message it would have no more el fect than if he spoke to thee stones. "Our world would not understand Jesus bringing the message that man is the child of God. He would try to win us to life, those who really are dead to all goodness, to all appeal, to the spirit of human kindness. For 2000 years Jesus has stood waiting with the same message, with his arms outstretched, and the world has said in effect: 'Well, who cares? "God, the creator, also is a god of justice, and is it reasonable to sup pose that he will allow the world he has made to run without hindrance from him? Things have happened lately that ought to make men think. We have had rumors of wars, wars, bloodshed and desolation. The trou ble is that the old world as we know ;.t too well, still is unsaved. Even now, if we had money enough to preach the gospel to every creature in this world, still there would be many thousands in every city about the size of this one who would have nothing to do with Jesus of Nazar eth, because they don't believe in him. "Do you not believe me when I say that may thtw cruel world, this world of indifference, son will pass? We ought to go on our knees and pray: 'Lord Jesus, come quickly!' Un less Jesus soon comes wits power and majesty to save the world there is precious little hope of its salvation. "I believe in Jesus of Nazareth and am sure that the old order of things will not be allowed to be perpetuated forever." END SEAR, SAYS EVANGELIST Mankind on Threshold of Eternity, Declares Mr. Dickson. ' That judgment has been in session in heaven for the past 75 years, and will soon close, was the declaration of Evangelist L. K. Dickson, in his sermon in Christensen's hall last night, on the subject, "God's Message for the Present Hour." He declared that we are living on the threshold of eternity; that the long dark night of sin is nearly ended, and the dawn of eternal morn near. Mr. Dickson showed from the Bible that the judgment work of Heaven began in 1844 in fulfillment of the prophecy uttered by Daniel, 2500 years ago, to the effect that the sanctuary In Heaven would he cleansed from that time. He dwelt on the words of scripture, "unto two thou sand three hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." (Dan. 8:14) and proved that this period be gan with the commandment to re build Jerusalem in 457 B. C, and said that when this judgment work is finished then Jesus will return. He also declared that when the cases of all mankind have been tried by the heavenly tribunal the human race will not have another chance to escape the punishment of the wicked. He said in part: "While the closing judgment work is proceeding in heaven, the message of the judgment hour as recorded in Rev. 14:6-12. lifts up on the earth the standard of truths trodden un derfoot, and the Lord through His faithful messengers utters His last warning against sin and apostasy. These warnings, according to the pro phet, are part of the everlasting gos pel. Whosoever, therefore, preaches the full gospel of Christ in these last days must sound this solemn call. The Lord is in earnest with men in this hour when the judgment, now passing on the dead, must also soon real the eternal deEtiny of all the liv irg. Hence the message challenges 6very soul to a decision. YOUTH WROXUED, ASSERTION False Ideals Held Responsible for Present Lawlessness "Juvenile delinquency and lawless ness are prevalent to an alarming de gree throughout the country." said Dr. Frank 1. wemett. pastor or Cen ; tenary Methodist . church, speaking last night on the topic: "Why Did the Lad Go Wrong?' "Some have sought to lay the blame for this unwholesome situation at the door of the home." the speaker continued. "Others seem to regard the deplorable condition as being ! logical result of the great war. But these explanations are inadequate The sobering fact is that this proud I nation now is being brought to juder- ment for its sins against childhood and youth. Having sown carelessness j ana irreverence, ought we to be sur prised that the harvest is lawlessness? We have excluded the Bible, that indispensable fountain of wisdom, from the curriculum of education. We have set cheap standards before our boys and girls, leading them to be lieve that smartness is the secret of success and that money ir the open sesame to happiness. "Calm judgment compels the con clusion that the pampering of the body is popularly regarded today as of greater moment than the building of manhood. Present-day conditions foster artificial conceptions ol - life, Sordidness and frivolity smother the sovereign claims of the soul. And this murky atmosphere enshrouds our children. "In this connection it is not out of place to speak a plain word about the vitagraph. This popular institu tion exercises a prodigious power over the developing mind of youth. Operated for profit, and pandering to the baser passions of human nature, who can doubt that its influence on the whole, is. demoralizing? What more natural than that tr ese youth ful hero worshipers, repeatedly feast ing their eyes upon highly colored scenes of violence and crime, should become enamored with the life of des perate adventure and plot deeds of lawlessness? "With these poisoned reels playing to crowded houses night by night throughout the year, is it strange that our boys graduate into crime and girls fall from virtue?" GREAT DISCOVERIES IS TOPIC Rev. W. T. McEIveen Tells of the Greatest of All Finds. "The Greatest Discovery." was Dr. W. T. McElveen's topi- at the First Congregational church last evening. He said: "A volume relating to the stories of man's many discoveries would be as ' interesting and would outsell the j most popular romance. Indeed, the story of man's almost countless un- coverings of fact and truth could not I be told in a single volume. A library would be required to tell the story I adequately. It is expressibly wonder- j ful what man has achieved in this j direction. To date the record of ; man s discoveries Is a tremendous one. with no limit in sight. "Sir Ernest Rutherford but a few days ago announced that he had dis covered how baser metals can be transmuted into gold. Indeed he practically publishes the formula. But he tells us that it costs more to sep arate from bismuth or from lead the particles that can be changed into gold than it does to dig or mine gold." In graphic phrase. Dr. McEIveen told how the astronomer discovered the planet Neptune. "There are many more facts wait- i lng to he uncovered, and many more truths waiting to be discovered," he said. "Emerson said that it was a great day in a man's life when he met a new idea face to face. It is a great day in a man's life when a man dis covers that he is not a body, but a rpirit and It is a 'still greater day m hen a man discovers that the spir itual self can be influenced and transformed and ennobled by the spirit of God. That day is the great est day of all when a man discovers that Jesus Christ is both a full inter pretation of the character of God and a full revelation of what is possible for him to become. Nineteen hun dred years ago, Peter, they call him Simon Peter, discovered Christ and it has transformed him from being a profane ignorant fisherman into one of the greatest benefactors of the human race." TEMPORIZING IS CRITICISED Rev. Elbert E. Flint Preaches on "Witnessing Jesus' Presence. Rev. Elbert B. Flint, pastor of the Atkinson Memorial Congregational ; church, yesterday morning spoke on I witnessing to the Presence of Jesus." I "The Christ that John witnessed on Patmos was real." said Rev. Flint. I He wore a robe reach in ar to his feet: l. - .j ; . . . , , ! rA was ul in r u i.t i y i oeiween v., o (I anu i man. Over thin h Wnr a irirfllA rtf ! gold; He is king of the nations. One: corner is, turned up; he is a laborer ' among men. His hair is white.; his age Is eternity. His eye flashes like , fire; he is omniscient. His feet look like brass: he is omnipotent. His voice thunders like the ocean; it car ries to the end of earth. He carries handful of stars which he holds above the darkness that would drown them. He carries a sword, two-edged that cuts in all directions. This was the mighty man Christ that John of Patmos saw when the world was in commotion. Now the world and the church have temporized with this Christ both in reading the gospels and practicing his truths till he has little more mean ing with many than a little 'tin sol dier.' Much of the industrial world has temporized Christ till 'business is business' is the rule and not 'the golden rule' Law has often tempo rized Christ till punishment means a reward of a meal ticket and a lodging in a refined prison dormitory. The church has temporized with the Christ till he sleeps, the dear little infant in the mother's arms. "The man or nation that will tem porize with Jesus will temporize with the 'golden rule"; with weights and measures: with the brotherhood of man; with the righteousness of con duct; and murder, lying, stealing will continue to grow. The church holds the great remedy for a sin-sick world the Great Physician the full orbed man, the Christ, the one Savior-Son of God." HOWELL RE TRIAL NEAR MIKDER CASE SCHEDULED TO OPEN AGAIN' TODAY.
