Sympathetic co-operation is reported
by nobles of Al Kader temple of the
Mystic ehrine who have been in the
field for two days in the campaign
to reserve rooms for housing visitors
who will be in Portland the fourth
week of June. Home owners every-
-where are reported as willing to move
onto the sleeping porches or to set
np tents in the backyard in order
that they may accommodate some
of the Shriners who will come to
make merry in the Rose City.
Joseph W. Beveridgre, county clerk,

similar request for guests. Manager
c.ulbertson of the Cornelius hotel.
having filled that hostlery to the
roof with uniformed men, has signi
fied his intention of taking 20
Shriners to his home on Council Crest.
Today Mr. Culbertson will call on his
neighbors and ask them to do as
much. ,
Requests Pour In.
Down at the headquarters of the
general committee in the Gasco build
ing, requests for rooms continue to
pile up and last night Chairman
Jaeger issued a statement saying, in
part:
"Up to Saturday night my com
mittee had placed 35 uniformed bodies
of Shriners in the down town hotels.
These bodies consist of patrolmen.
bandsmen, drum corps, swinnette
bands, chanters, by which'I mean or
ganizations of singers which the va
rious temples are bringing to Port
land to entertain our people; bugle
corps and a large number of other
units that will come here to add to
the general gaiety of the great con
vention. Thousands of these men will
bring their wives.
"In addition to those in the hotels.
we are advised of eight temples which
will park their trains and live aboard
them while here. We expect 400 Pull
man cars to be thus occupied.
Beds Are Purchased.
"We have as a committee purchased
supply of single iron beds from
the government and have arranged
with the Burke Machinery company
to supply mattresses. We will supply
bedding and will place fully 1500 of
these cots in the Lincoln, Shattuck
and Couch schools, which the school
board has placed at our disposal. Then
we will fill the armory. ,
"Harry Stone of the Y. M. C. A., al
ready has given us two floors of
that building and we will have to
have the balance of it if we can get
it. The Y. W. C. A. has signed up
to take in all the women it can
handle. Dr. Stansfield has said we
may place 75 single beds in the base
ment of his church and we are go
ing to do it.
"But all this takes care only of the
uniformed bodies of Shriners. Port
landers must open their homes and
provide for the thousands and thou
sands who will accompany the uni
formed men to the city. The canvass
for rooms will go on until every sec

COAXING comedy out of hie knees
and his elbows and his toes and
his coat-tails. Lew Brice jimmies his
way to the head of the class in the
Orpheum bill which opened yesterday
afternoon. Adelaide Mason, who now
twinkles a sprightly slipper, and Rube
Beckwith, who takes care of the
piano, are the accomplished accom
plices who make a favorite of the
Lew Brice act.
There is so much of the novel and
humorous in Lew Brice's dancing and
singing in his first numbers that the
audience is with him from the
first. He and Miss Mason and their
"honeymoon morning" dance intro
duce the act in a graceful whirl. Then
Mr. Brice gets back with a song and
a little dance to go with it, and Miss i It
Mason takes a turn with a breath
taking Egyptian jazz dance and Mr.
Brice does- another fool dance and
Mr. Beckwith plays a serenade and
an extravaganza of "Mighty Lak a
Rose." Reminscences of services in j
France follow, with Miss Mason danc
ing a little pleasant dance and then
a gay Parisian whirl. I
Lew can recite, too. When he re
cited "St. Julien" yesterday the ex
service men .in the audience conceded
high right to claim connection with
the A. E. F. There is true satire in
Lew Brice's . French patois. Lew is
comic without trying hard to be, tall
like a string bean and possesses a
fund of humor which more than
makes up for limping lyrics that
contain little humor and less poetry.
Little Miss Mason is 5 feet and dartk
eyed and pretty, if you can catch her
standing still to get a look. Rube
(he seems to have no other name)
Beckwith gets his share of the laughs
when he exhausts Lew s fund of
French.
An alluring maid who butterflys in
swirl of rainbow hues is the fine
figure of "The Rainbow Cocktail,
an elaborately mounted musical fan
tasy which occupies the headline po
sition on the bill. The writers of "The
Rainbow Cocktail" took a big pinch
of Will Shakespeare and three small
pinches of Gilbert and Sullivan and
pinches of other favorites to make a
colorful setting for their sketch, but
the commendable work is that or
Helene Coyne, singer and dancer.
A wizard that is a wizard displays
wonders in the little musical playlet.
Comes to him a little multitude of eld
erly maids who desire youth returned
to . them. A stirring of the cauldron's
contents and a wave of the wand
work wonders and six young maids
sing their gratitude, sruce ue iieue
is picturesque as the wizard ana
handsome in his reincarnation. Helene
Coyne, first as a widow and again as
a winsome maid, is coy and charming
and sings hauntingly. Fritz Klingel,
Jeanne Pousique, Elizabeth btlrling.
Grace Carvelle and Grace Edwards
are talented singers and dancers.
Alexander Sedan, who happens to be
the father of Edward Sedan of the
Alcazar, swings the baton from under
which pours forth the flood of melody
which clothes' the piece.
Sylvia Snow and Dan Sigworth, who
sing and dance and tell stories to
and at each other, open the new bill.
Sylvia is pretty and her partner is
clever and their act is above reproach.
Second place is taken by Ruth Budd,
girl equilibrist who sings on acrobatic
rings, upside down and tlownside up,
after she has first appeared in a
dressing room scene in which she
and her maid swap advice on methods
of procedure in this hard old world.
Maybe it was accidental, but its the
little man who carries the big harp
when Lyons and Yosco prance into
sight. Which is fine, because they are
comedians, anyway. The big man
plays the cello and mandolin and
teaches English on the side. They
sing and play their own compositions.
Bob Hall is around again. There
must be something funny about Bob,
because everybody always laughs at
and with him. Bob just walks in like
one of the family and then he sings
poetry just to show he can get away
with it.
A nice looking girl who rides
bicycle and a wild-looking bolshevik
who rides snider bicycles, close the
show. Gertrude Clegg and Mortimer
MacRae contribute an act which com
bines pedaling skill and extravagant
humor in the shape of two-wneeiea
vehicles.

7! years, was one of Oregon's early

Mrs. Williams, born in England,
came to the United States when 6
years old. After years in the east,
the family started for Oregon over
land, and after being waylaid by
Indians and Mormons, held up by loss
of provisions and stock, arrived- at
The Dalles on a raft.
When the Columbia river was
reached a raft was built, and the
little party put its remaining pos
sessions aboard and set out for Ore
gon City. At Wind River the raft
began to break, and it was all that
the party could do to make a safe
landing. Going into camp they were,
later rescued by a band of friendly
Indians who had come under the in
fluence of Dr. McLoughlin, of Ore
ton fame. A second raft was built
which brought them safely to their
destination.

EX the- American expeditionary
force went to France the mo
rale-builders who left their high
salaried positions on the American
stage and enlisted as entertainers
de luxe " packed their bags and
took along grease paint, wigs and the
best and most entertaining plays pro
duced in this country. One of the
chosen was "Under Cover," which
served the A. E. F. well and faith
fully and has come back to do duty
at the Baker theater this week.
"Under Cover" is more than a play.
It is a flashlight of the character of
a nation a flashlight taken without
warning. If it is sensational, it is
because there is an element of the
sensational in the American character.
s melodrama it is so admitted on
the programme but it is melodrama
that is welcomed.
Roi Cooper Megrue wrote "Under
Cover." He took for his skeleton the
inner workings of the United States
customs service, with his principal
figures a surveyor of customs and a
mystery man. When these two clash
there is trouble. And the trouble in
volves a society girl, whose sister is
in danger of exposure for theft at the
hands of the surveyor.
No more complex role, so exacting
in its demands, so generous of oppor
tunities, has fallen to David Herblin
during the season than that of Ste
ven Denby. Denby, returning from
Europe to the United States with Mrs.
Michael Harrington, social leader, and
Monty Vaughn, pet of aristocracy. Is
welcomed in the Harrington Lome,
where he finds Ethel Cartwright, os
tensibly a visitor, but actually on the
ground under pressure of Daniel Tay
lor of the customs service. The fine
acting by which David Herblin alter
nately establishes himself in all eyes
and rais-es- doubts of his integrity is
noteworthy.
Clashing with Denby and with
Ethel Cartwright, at once estranging
them and throwing them together for
dependence, Daniel Taylor, inspector
of customs, is a strong figure. George
R. Taylor shares honors with David
Herblin as a rough, positive force.
The action of the first of the four
acts occurs in the office of Taylor,
that of the other three in the home of
the Harringtons. Atmosphere for the
first act is supplied by John G. Fee,
as James Duncan, subordinate of Tay
lor: William Lee, as Harry Gibbs, an
inspector, and Walter Corry, as an of
fice subordinate. Helen Baker, who
plays the part of a smuggling sus
pect, draws applause for capable de
livery of her few lines.
As Amy Cartwright, the erring sis
ter, to save whom Ethel Cartwright
takes service under Taylor, Mayo Me-
Lnoi completely satisfies the imagina
tion and provides the tangle in which
Denby is caught. Taylor's scene with
the two sisters defines the work of all
three as technically and emotionally
perfect.
There are scenes in "Under Cover"
which seem to belong to Verna Felton,
tor her fight is the fight of heaviest
odds and her weapons are unavailing
against her opponents. All the more
may then be said for her splendid
portrayal or Ethel Cartwright. Emi
nentiy the opposite to Miss Felton's
role is that of Geraldine Dare, as
rora nutiedge, a society butterfly.
There is light and laughter in Miss
Dare's work, with her charms best
outlined in her scenes with Lee Mil
lar, who, as Monty Vaughn, friend
and co-worker of Denby, contributes
much or enjoyment.
A human couple are George P. Web
ster, as Michael Harrington, and
Claire Sinclair, as Alice, his wife.
Irving Kennedy, as Lambert, the but
ler, is just such a butler as the aris
tocrats might fight for.
"Under Cover" is a good play and
the Baker, players give it the atten
tion it deserves.

show opened yesterday with Billie
Bingham starring.
There is no plot to the play, which
r a triancrle love affair and ends with
the hero absolutely at outs with his
father' over a prospective marriage
with the star.
There are, however, several song
hits, notably "I Like Your Apron and
Your Bonnet,"' in which Billie uingnam
and the Rosebud chorus appear in
Quaker costume. Another good song
is "Along Came Another Little Girl,"
by Will Rader and the chorus.

Joan Maidment, as Lenore, appears

makes a decided hit with the audience.
A novelty in the play is a French
girl, Fifi, who first appears as a
vamp, but later turns Quakeress. The

Mabel Scliroeder, Who Escaped
With Girl at Dinner With
Woman, Also Caught.
Evelyn Mack, star witness in a stat

Beaver, was captured last night at
Kalama. Wash., according to a tele
phone message to the police. Mabel
Schroeder, who escaped with her
Wednesday night, while an operative
from the women's protective bureau
had the girls out for dinner, also was
caught.
The - escape of' Evelyn Mack -has
brought to light the fact that in
tense ill-will exists between the
women's bureau and the rest of the
police force.
"To tell the truth, the men are tick
led because the girl got away. We're
tired of taking orders from those
women," said a high police officer
yesterday.
His remark seems to embody the
consensus of opinion at police head
quarters. Policemen allege that th
women operatives are incapable of
making simple arrests without'caliing
for men to h-lp, and yet insist on
giving orders about the management
of cases in which they have small con
cern.
The policemen asserted that they
were afraid to make arrests on evi
dence which the women operatives
had collected.
The same all-feeling toward the
women operatives is manifested by
internes in the Emergency hospital.
The cause of the friction between the
doctors and the operatives is the
women's custom of ordering prisoners
to report to the hospital for medical
examination, without notifying the
doctors of the order. The doctors as
sert that they get into trouble with
their superiors in the health bureau
if they decline to make the examina
tion, while they run the risk of being
sued if it later develops that the op
eratives made a mistake.
That man is master of his fate and
captain of his soul was reiterated yes
terday morning by Dr. Joshua btans
field in his sermon at the First
Methodist church. "Divine Pattern
of Lives" was the suDject upon which
he preached. The address served as
the baccalaureate sermon for the 67
graduates of the February graduating
class of the Washington high school.
"There was a time when Moses, one
nf tho miehtv men of the ancients
and the greatest law giver the world
has known, was alone with uoa on
the mountain and there was reveaiea
to him the fundamentals of worship,
religion and life. The vision, maybe,
was brief, but it was for days to
come, and the tabernacle and its rich.
symbolical service was the result. It
was according to the pattern snown
him in the mount.
'In that tabernacle were tne ten
great words the commandments
and above these the mercy seat, and
over all the outstretching wings of
th seraphim, all speaking and teach
ing of God, and love, and sin, ana
righteousness, and mercy, and for
giveness, and reconciliation all the
true essentials or religion. i nese
came to Moses in his vision on tne
mount, that is at the place of his
highest and clearest vision and see
ing. There are such moments for all
normal youth. Times when the mind
goes out to the ideal and what ought
to be. Times wnen tne atvine pat
tern of life shows clearly, and the
soul comes under conviction and in
spiration as to the life to be lived and
the things most to be sought for.
Resulta Seen In History,
"Sometimes the divine pattern of
life is seen in biography, and in his
tory, for, as Emerson well says: 'His
tory is philosophy speaking by ex
ample.' Livee of great men oft remind ua
"We can make our Uvea sublime.
Joseph in Egypt, David before Saul,
Daniel in Babylon, the Baptist before
Herod and Paul everywhere. Again,
for Instance, Savonorola in Florence,
John Knox in Scotland, Wesley claim
ing a world for his parish, Florence
Nightingale relieving suffering, John
Howard proving that criminals had
souls, Lincoln holding that human
lives were beyond the currency of
dollars. Earl Shaftsbury, John Bright-
Gladstone, apostles of humanity, or
Francis Willard teaching that boys
are more than bottles these all' and
such remind us 'we may make our
lives sublime.'
"In the lives of the true, the noble
and the good we have seen the pat
tern in the mount. Sometimes, too,
we have seen tne divine pattern or
life as we have returned from a new
grave and felt that the world was
poorer than a week ago. How cheap
and small money and things seemed
then and honors and position and
place. How we saw and felt the im
portance of being rather than hav
ing. Often in darkest hours of life
do we see the true light shining, as
miners sometimes see the stars shine
from the deep places of the earth.
Pattern Seen In Cbrlnt.
"Again and most of all, we have
seen the divine pattern of life in
Jesus Christ, 'who is the fullness of
the measure of the stature of man
'in him was life and the life was the
light of men.' The best of all human
living, 'the life that is life indeed' is
the life after Christ. Be a disciple,
learner of him. To know him is life
eternal. 'See,' saith he, 'that thou
make things according to the pattern
shown thee in the mount, according
to the finest and best seeing of this
life. Make all things according to
the pattern.'
True Spirit la Advocated.
"A good and true life and character
is by man and of God. The work of
character building and life making is
ours. Whatever the circumstances
may be, the making of the life is ours.
ETERNAL TRUTH MADE CLEAR
Jesus the Great Revealer, Says Rev.
Edward Constant.
In the absence of Dr. McElveen,
the pastor, the pulpit of the First
Congregational church was occupied j
yesterday morning by Rev. Edward !
Constant, who spoke on "The Witness
Eternal." !
"God's witnesses," said Rev. Mr.
Constant, "stand like sentries along 1
the pathway of history. Every age
has had its messenger of truth. At
first the testimony of those messen
gers was faint, feeble and tremulous,
but with every succeeding century the
testimony has grown clearer and
more distinct.
"Gradually the hopes of men.prew
brighter and their religious instinct
more pronounced. It was found that
no image could adequately represent
God. With their expanding minds
men began to witness to a higher
truth. The thought of God was spir
itualized. As men grew in knowl
edge their thoughts of God grew with
them. Men developed in character
according to their conceptions of the
invisible.
"Every cycle of time was a further
remove from animalism and super
stition. The spiritual vision of all
prophetic souls took a broad sweep
but all previous religious exDerience
was eclipsed by that of Jesus.
Christ gathered up the fratrmen-
tary utterances of his predecessors,
wove them into his message and by
nis manner or using them stamped
them with originality. What with
others were guesses at the truth he-
came with him eternal verities.
Jesus stood, before men as the
great revealer. The testimony which
he bore found substantiation in his
life. He was no bundle of contradic
tions and inconsistencies. His char
acter was symmetrical. He confirmed
to his own ideals and thus commend
ed them.
'For all time to come his ohnmotor
and teaching will continue to witness
for three things, which may be called
tounaation principles of the Christian
faith. Those three things. mad lumi
nous and beautiful bv his nortraval
may be expressed by the three words
fatherhood, manhood and brotherhood.
These ideas, with their related and
corresponding truths, we find con
tinually with us as we study the life
of the Master."

SPIRITUALISM BASIS RAPPED
Dr. II . A. Johnston Declares Theo
ries or Specialists Differ.
Sufficient basis for sane, thinking
persons to believe in spiritualism
has not been found in psychic
research up to the present time, ac
cording to Dr. Howard Agnew Johns
ton, speaking at the First Presby
terian church last night.
Dr. Johnston reviewed at length
the reports of the leading' psycholo
gists of the present time who have
been investigating the phenomena of
psychic activity. "While Professors
Hyslop and James of Columbia and
Harvard, Professor Hodgson of Cam
bridge and Sir Oliver Lodge believe
they have communicated with dis
carnate spirits whom they knew In
the flesh, yet Professor Flournoy of
Geneva. Switzerland, one of the great
est ot these specialists, asserts it
to be his belief that all of the phe
nomena presented, remarkable as they
are, should be explained as the result
of the capacity and activity of the
subconscious mind," said Dr. Johns
ton. "However, the majority of these
men insist that science confirms the
teaching of the New Testament re
garding the continued existence or
those we have 'known -in the flesh.
Insofar their report is interesting."
But Dr. Johnston insisted that all
wno are seeking to know what the
at heart are not working at the 1oh.
Those who follow for th-; 'loaves and
fishes' are in the ascendency.
"Religion and the church are often
more commercialized than spiritual
ized and few, if any, follow Christ
as his disciples followed him. The
crisis of the war was the only power
that uncovered the sacred truth and
sincerity of the heart. If the purity
and truth and sincerity of the heart
can once assert itself, there is latent
power in the church in the religious
faith of Christendom to create, not
only a new era. but a new world,
wherein dwelleth righteousness."
