SEARCH IS CONTINUED
Qncst in Gulcli, However, Leads to
Theory That Fragments AVere
Xot Tossed From Auto.
The man whose mysterious murder
was revealed by the human frag
ments pick'ed up In Sullivan's gulch
late Saturday, was a man of fair com
plexion, about five feet ten Inches,
or six feet -in height, weighed about
180 pounds and was 30 or 40 years
of agre.
This was the description prepared
by Deputy Coroner Ijco Goetsch.
Lieutenant of Detectives Goltz and
Detectives Leonard and Tackaberry
yesterday, judging from the portions
of the body which were found.
The efforts of the detectives to
eolve the mystery of the brutal mur
der were unsuccessful yesterday, al
though practically every available
man In the department was working
on different phases of the investiga
tion. Farther Search Is Made.
Detectives Tackaberry and Leonard
. under the leadership of Lieutenant
Goltz. made a further search of Sul
livan's gulch yesterday in tlie hope
of discovering further portions of
the body, but were unsuccessful. The
Kit Ich was thoroughly searched un
derneath the Grand-avenue bridge
where the portions of the body were
discovered. The officers carried
their search up the gulch as far as
Twelfth street.
Other pieces of newspapers which
' had been used in bundling up the
lections of the body found Saturday,
were obtained and were taken to de
tective headquarters. The detectives
also secured some pieces of string
used in tying the bundles and a small
sample of sawdust in which tne por
tions of the body had apparently been
previously packed.
1 All the newspapers were carefully
scrutinized in the hope of finding
some writing or other clew which
might lead to the identity of the
murderer.
This scrutiny, however, failed to
reveal anything of value.
W. E. Clifford Is Missing.
The authorities were asked yes
terday afternoon to determine if the
dead man was W. E. Clifford, who has
been mising from his home in a
houseboat at the foot of California
street, since January 31 of this year.
The description of Mr. Clifford as
given to Detective Ackerman corres
ponds in a measure to that of the
murder victim.
Mr Clifford was 41 years -of age.
C feet 1 inch in height, and weighed
ISO pounds. He had a light com
plexion, dark hair, brown eyes and a
brown mustache.
Check Made on List of Missing.
;As another phase of the investiga
tion Lieutenant Goltx began making a
check on men who had recently been
reported missing. A check of the list,
however, failed to reveal anything.
..The only new development yester
day was the fact that the packages
apparently had been thrown from the
bridge at different times. If this is
the case it is believed that the crime
could not have been committed far
from the bridge.
The theory that the packages might
have been thrown from a passing au
tomobile is discredited owing to the
fact that the sidewalk on the bridge
prevents an automobile from ap
proaching near the guide rail of the
bridge.

Mr. West says that the efforts of
the Boy Scout directors in the east
are largely turned toward interesting
the children of aliens.
'We are going to take advantage
of the offer of the American Legion to
provide us, with scoutmasters," he
continued. "Small towns of the west,
particularly, are in need of more at
tention, as they have not gone after
the work with hte same degree of
thoroughness that characterizes the
eastern village.
"We are going to celebrate .our
tenth anniversary on February S and
52 national magazines will have ar

at Jefferson at 10. going from there
to a lunch at the Benson at noon. He
will spend the afternoon on the Co

some of his own experiences. He was
left an orphan early in life and knows
the value of attending to the personal
needs of growing boys. All his ef

Movies Destroyed and Playhouse
Damaged by Score of Those
at Rear of House.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 8. A score
of men, following the showing of a
motion picture, the scene of which
was laid in Ireland in the latter part
of the 19th century, created a panic
in a crowded theater on Market
street, in downtown San Francisco,
tonight, when they broke into the
projecting-room, did considerable
damage to two projecting machines,
tore up two films, took two others
and smashed many rows of seats, ac
cording to a report made to the police
by Frank A. McDonald, manager of
the theater. Thirty patrolmen, an
swering a riot call quelled the dis
turbance, but made no arrests.
Immediately after the showing of
the' picture and as the audience was
filing out of the theater, according to
McDonald, the men, who had obtained
seats near the projecting-room, gath
ered together and with a shout ran
to the projecting-room. Their shouts
and noise created confusion in the
audience and several women fainted
and were trampled upon; none seri
ously, McDonald said
"I had a private showing of the
film earlier before two prominent
Irishmen," McDonald told the police.

most- of It. Miss Ruegger comes to
us each season and always with a
distinguished offering. Last season
a vocalist had a place in her act.
This year she is alone, save of course
for her orchestra conductor, Edmund
Lichtenstein, who is her husband.
Marked musical color and atmosphere
are shown in Miss Ruegger's playing
She interests and holds her mixed
audience and that is a great deal in
itself. ' The audience listened grate
fully and appreciatively to playing in
which harmony had not been sacri
ficed to a showing display of tech
nique. Miss Ruegger played Schu
bert's "Moment Musicaf" in sparkling
mood and Elgar's "Salut d'Amour,"
was given a sympathetic interpreta
tion. A gay, spirited treatment of
Pepper's "Klve's Dance" brought much
applause and for an encore she played
a quaint and charming, pickaninny
lullaby "Bye Lo." There is nothing
spectacular about Elsa Ruegger. She
is thoroughly an artist and offers her
wares quietly, modestly and sincerely,
with an occasional quick pleased!
smile of response.
As for Grette Ardine, she does with
her feet what Miss Ruegger does with
her fingers, makes pictures and
weaves stories, according of course
to your own sense of imagery. There's
one dance she offers, of Chinese in
ference. She wears an idealized ori
ental costume and whirls so madly
and dexterously through a dance that
she electrifies. She stops and steps
out of the dance atmosphere so sud
denly on occasions as to be startling.
She has a splendid young body, vitally
alive and dance-mad. She glows with
the magnetism of purpose and genius.
Rapidity of motion and acrobatic ad
venture mark her terpsichorean ac
tivities and she startles, amazes ajid
charms. Her adornments are few blit
fine and her legs are like Katisha's
elbow in only one respect, worth
going miles to see. Grette has a
partner, two of them in fact. One is
Wallace Bradley, a skillful, agile man
dancer who wears clothes. The other
is Irving Fisher, who gets a lot of
tinkly trills and runs out of the piano.
The act is handsomely staged, with
young Fisher at the piano while the
other two step In and out of the pic
ture to dance.
Thomas Duray the man who runs
the opry-house, 'edits the paper, pre
sides over the council, is constable,

church, returns to make us chuckle
again with his act "For Pityvs Sake."
Duray is a clever character actor. As
manager of the. town theater, housing
a lurid melodrama, he sits on a shelf
over the stage and acts as a one man
orchestra, stage electrician, stage
carpenter, property man, office force
and treasurer, with fearful and weird
results piling thick and fast on his
head. His scurrying up and down the
ladder leads to dire mishap and his.

company supports Mr. Duray.
Coletta Ryan is a beauty, one of the
tall Gibsonesque girls and she sings
high lark-like notes, and wears
blue and gold almost dress and has
an air of being the belle at the party.
Her partner is Leta Orlob, who is
animated and vivacious and has
feather fan, a golden voice and cute
little tricks. Leta plays the piano for
one song Coletta sings, and the rest
of the time they do duets, full of i
harmony that results from two indi
vidually good voices. Personal ap
peal of youth and high spirits and
looks, plus clothes, make their bid
too. in this girl number.
Kenney and Hollis are rah rah lads,
at least one of them is. The other
just acts as a buffer for the college
boy's jokes and chatter. The jokes
are new, the chatter mirth provoca
tive and an air of spontaneity
and intimate friendliness pervades
"Freshy's" fooleries. He offers a con
vulsing picture as a moneky, and
later burlesques an esthetic dancer,

and blessed with novelty.
Lucille and Ccckie, a green parrot
and a white cockatoo, open the bill

"Cabaret de Luxe" is the name of
the latest offering by. Keating and
Flood. ' If comes in twos. There are
two comedians, two "crazy" waiters
and two trouble-making figures
veiled in mystery. Ben Dillon and
Al Franks provide most of the com
edy with the assistance of Will Rader.
Clarence Wurdig and Blllie Bingham.
"When You Dance" is the first song
number in line, with Olive Finney and
the chorus warbling. "Daddy, You've
Been a Mother to Me," sung by Clar
ence Wurdig, is next. Then follows
"Who's the Wife of the Man in the
Moon?" by Ca,rlton Chase and "Yarna
Yama Blues" by Billie Bingham. All
four punctuate the comedy action of
"Cabaret de- Luxe." The opening
numbers are "I'm Irish," "Why Do
They Call 'Em Wild Women T' and
"Old Man Jazz."
A cabaret scene, with cabaret ac
tion, brings the piece to an end. Will
Rader sings "What's the Use of
Kickin'T" with the chorus ignoring
the suggestion and blithely kicking
away in the refrain. Hazel Crosby
and Leslie George dance the Morris
dance with grace, and Olive Finney
and Clarence Wurdig sing "My Baby's
Arms." Ben T. Dillon and Al Franks
contribute a few old-style steps that
are well received.
A splash of red in the rear rank
heralds the arrival of Betty White,
who has not been seen here before. A
goodly number of specialties are ex
pected for the chorus girls' contest
on Friday night.
NE of those worth-while adven
tures in the theater, rare in a
i playgoer's experience is "Abraham
Lincoln", at the Baker theater. It is a
play revealed in a series of episodes
in Lincoln's public career, written in
poetic spirit and imagery and bearing
the zeal and understanding of the his
torian. The Baker players put on an
excellent treatment of the environ
ment of the civil war days with Brod-
erick O'Farrell added to the cast to
portray the role of the great emanci
pator,
Romantic interest attaches in the
period of its presentation, the '60's,
and the costumes, manners and ethics
of that day are faithfully adhered to.
A vigorous drama has been made
of incidents in Lincoln's life and
through it all runs the thread of the
theory of reincarnation. The theory is
suggested and advanced constantly
that Lincoln's soul has returned in the
body of Woodrow Wilson.
Comparisons in the acts of the two
men under similar stress are pictured
and similarity of purpose and deed 4s
pointed out
Inspirational of greater tolerance,
greater kindness, greater humanity
and broader vision is the story. An
intensely dramatic baring of the Lin
coln soul is made, reverently, sym
pathetically and with keen insight.
We are shown his honesty and single
ness of purpose, his courage of con
viction, his conquest of all obstacles
and a dozen fine, rugged and human
characteristics of the man Lincoln.
Rules of technique are not observed
in the play. It is a narrative started
by an old man in his drawing room,
told to his daughter and her fiance.
The story he tell is a romance of hie
mother. She had known Lincoln and
he had helped her solve a big prob
lem and united her to her own sol
dier wain. As the old man tells the
story the lights go down and when
they go on the story he tells df the
long ago is enacted. When it is
finished we return to the drawing
room back to 1920.
The episodes are concentrated in
the White House, where Lincoln is
depicted in picturesque, often humor
ous and more often pathetic scenes,
conflict with cabinet members, in a
touching scene with the southern girl
whose brother has been caught as a
spy, in another moment of uplifting
democracy with a negro lad who
wants to join the northerners. A
moment of tremendous pathos is when
Lincoln pardons the spy
Another is when he leaves, at the
play's closing, for Ford's theater, with
Mrs. Lincoln putting his shawl about
his shoulders and his gentle badinage.
The audience presages his murder at
the theater and naturally this episode
is thrilling and of dramatic effect.
Broderlck O'Farrell in the title role
is as eloquent in the physical counter
part of the character as he is compell
lng in the presentation of the moods
and manners of the Emancipator. He
gives a splendid performance, human
to the core, mellow, picturesque of
course, but most of all soulful and
very real.
Claire Sinclair is delightfully natu
ral and womanly as Mary Todd Lin
coln, the wife, and the crinolines and
hairdress of the '60s are eminently1
becoming to her.
Verna Felton plays the southern
girl of today, and also of the '60s.
A fine piece of acting it is, too, of
emotional qualities and strongly dra
matic She, too, is' charming in the
hoop skirts and poke bonnets. John
G. Fee plays with skill and assurance
both the modern soldier and the sol
dier who in Lincoln's day won the
little southern belle. George Webster
and George Taylor are a rare combi
nation of acting excellence, Taylor as
a bishop and Webster as his brother,
who tells the narrative in the pro
logue. Later these two contribute
splendid portraits, Taylor as General
Grant and Webster as the war demon,
Stanton. Irving Kennedy is a moving
figure as the spy. William Lee does
a fine piece of work, first as a young
negro patriot and later as a heroic
hurt soldier returned to his darky
mammy after she had mourned his
death.
The negro mammy is played ad
mirably by Barbara Haaland. Lee
Millar adds interest as Lincoln's pri
vate secretary.
The play is well staged and faith
ful in detail. A special programme of
tone pictures of the north and south
by the orchestra pre.erves the atmo
sphere charmingly.

Ministers.
James Moore Hickson, a healer of
the Episcopal church, will be in Port-'
land within the next few weeks.
This announcement was made yes
terday by Dean R. T. T. Hicks of St.
Stephen's pro-cathedral. He spoke on
"The Revival of Healing in the
Church" and his sermon was one of
a number which will be given pre
paratory to Mr. Hickson's arrival in
Portland.
"Quiet throngs of people mark the
ministty of James Moore Hickson
declared Dean Hicks. "The church is
awakening to the - great potential
power she has for the healing of body
and soul. Under this new inspiration
many are finding help in their bodily
infirmities. But all this is secondary,
when once comes the quickening
touch of God s spirit.
No one claims cures : there is no
sense of opposition to the work of the
doctor, for Luke was the beloved
physician.' But in addition to all the
other helps that God has given, the
church, through her ministers, is at
tempting to bring the power of prayer
to bear on all those in need of aid.

LOVE fjROWTH, IS ASSERTION
Failure to Develop in Spirit Causes
Divorce, Says McEIveen.
Divorces and juvenile delinquency
both are caused in many cases by the
failure of persons to grow in propor
tion to their wife or husband or to
their children, according to the ser
mon preached yesterday morning by
Dr. Wriliam T. McEIveen of the First
Congregational church. Its subject
was "Friends of God."
Dr. McEIveen Introduced his sermon
with the following scripture:
" 'Henceforth I call you friends,
said Jesus. The eleven disciples have
conferred upon them a new title.
They are initiated into a higher de
gree In the free-masonry of their fel
lowship with Jesus. They are raised
to the exalted distinction of being
friends of Jesus.
"To gain this honor the first dis
ciples studied and labored long," said
Dr. McEIveen. "It was at the end of
their three years of training that
Jesus bestowed upon them this ap
pellation. We do not immediately be
come an expert in love any more than
we become an expert in music or elec
tricity.
"One of the reasons for unhappy
marriages and divorces is the fadt
that one or both of the married pair
do not grow, bo they have nothing
new to give to each other. If the
married pair are to be friends to the
end of life's pilgrimage the wooing
and winning must be enjoyed day
after day while life lasts. If the two
friends are to really enjoy and be en
riched by their friendship they must
frequently express their regard for
and faith in each other. True friend
ship does not need repair, but it needs
renewal."

Hippodrome.
JUST what, in the mind of the aver
age person, is the big lesson
America has learned in the world
war? The answer is to be found in
the feature photoplay, "The World
Aflame," showing at the Hippodrome
for tlie first of the week. A vivid
picture is -given of the workings of
the red revolutionists and a direct
appeal is made to the . American
spirit. Not only is the problem of the
laboring man taken up, but also that
of the employer, and the developments
suggest that the two get together and
by "profit-sharing'; solve the diffi
culty. Frank Keenan is featured as
the author and producer of the play.
Five frivolous maids and two co
medians form the ''Revue Comique,"
which is "the headline attraction of
the vaudeville bill. The girls are
seated before their dressing rooms
and the numerous changes of cos
tume are made in full view of the
audience. A number of clever sing
ing, dancing and violin specialties
make up the programme. .
Edward J Lambert, all done up as
a modern Beau Brummel, saunters
onto the stage and casually invites all
the women folks to take a good look,
for in his own mind there's noth
ing more to be desired by any woman.
He's a right royal gloom dlspeller,
He can "fiddle," play the piano, sing
and has a host of funny stories all of
which he hands out with a fund of
good humor and deviltry which is
infectious.
Triplets, "trim, teeming, tawney,"
trained in the manly art of self-de-,
fense, are William, Jennings and
Bryan Taylor, who give an interest
ing exhibition of their art. A num
ber of well-known "holds" are Illus
trated and an original dance showing
pugilistic pesing. A boxing bout con
cludes their act, which is clean-cut
and snappy.
A willowy wisp of a maid and a
scmewhat less willowy man are
Knight and June, who have good
singins; and speaking voices and a
line of good songs and dance steps.
Drisko and Earl, presenting "Back
to 'Summerville," Include good har
mony singing- and ' sentimental acting
in their bit- as the drummer and
traveling saleswoman.
Furnishing the thrills falls to the

gospel; so they add to the ten com
mandments, and assume a wisdom
more refined than that of the Lord
himself.
"This is seen in some religious tra
ditions and dogmas. Some things by
them are condemned, as sins "worthy
of everlasting punishment, which in
themselves are not sins, when viewed
in the light of the law and gospel.
"Among these are some modern
amusements and habits of personal
adornment. Christian people found
guilty of these offenses may be ex
pelled from the church, and presum
ably excluded from heaven Itself.
They should not be classed among
acts sinful In themselves, but rather
as things which are not expedient.
Saint Paul, speaking on this subject.
said: 'AH things are lawful unto me,
but all things are not expedient."
Some acts are sinful, while others are
only inexpedient. Christians should
carefully note this difference."
srXDAT SCHOOL DRIVE IS OX
Young Crnsader Addresses Trinity
Church Congregation.
In connection with the "drive" for
new Sunday school pupils at Trinity
Episcopal church, George Walker, a
boy member of that school, in a neat
speech, addressed the congregation
from the church chancel yesterday
morning, and reported good progress
made. He said the Sunday, February
1, attendance at the Sunday school
numbered 75 children and yesterday
that it had reached 98.
"We have started a campaign to
get as many new scholars as pos
sible," continued Master Walker, "and
we wish each of our young members
to bring one friend to Sunday school.
By this plan we hope to double and
perhaps quadruple our school mem
bership. We ask each member of
this congregation to send children
here."
Friday night there will be two
Valentine parties for children at
Trinity church parish house, and an
attractive programme for entertain
ment is being arranged. Small chil
dren will be entertained in the early
part of the evening, and older chil
dren up to Id P. M. Each girl scholar
is asked to bring a boy friend, and
each boy a girl friend, as prospective
school members.
The parish house is being newly
decorated as community headquarters.
COUPLE' BELIEVED SAFE
Rev. and Mrs. V. E. Rambo Xot
Turkish Bandit Victims, Opinion.
With the authentic news of the
deaths of James Perry and Frank
Johnson, Y. M. C. A. men, Kiuea py
Turkish brigands near Aintav, Syria,
the morning of February 2, it is be
lieved here to a certainty that Rev.
and Mrs. W. E. Rambo. formerly of
Klamath Falls and Baker, or., are
undoubtedly safe. For a time, it was
thought that they, being in that vi
cinity, might have been th; victims.
As published yesterday in a ais-
patch given out at Washington, D. C,
the two Y. M. C. A. men were mur
dered while assisting to convoy re
lief supplies. Grave fears were en
tertained here by the friends of Rev.
and Mrs. Rambo, who are doing mis
sionary work In Syria, as to their
safety. It had been reported at first
that three persons had been murdered.
but it seems tb have been wen es
tablished by dispatches from official
sources that the two "Y" men were
the sole victims.
