THE 'MORNING ORECONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1920 TAXI DRIVERS HELD FOR GRAND JURY Coroner's Probers Find Two .Are Reckless Drivers. NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS M1 DEATHS CAUSE ACTION Max Servis and Mrs. Aurclia Xew bury Killed in Saturday Xlglit Accidents on City Streets. Two taxicab drivers were ordered held to the grand jury for investiga tion in verdicts returned by two cor oner's juries last night at the court house. One jury, called by Dr. Earl Smith, coroner, recommended that F. C. Hall, driver for the Broadway Taxi com pany, be held for grand jury investi gation as a result of the death of Max -H Servis, dental college student, who was run down and killed by Hall's taxi at KUa and Washington streets early Sunday morning The jurors likewise recommended that Hall's li cense as a driver be revoked. Wheatley Held for Grand Jury. Another jury, called while the first Jury was still deliberating, reported back a verdict asking that Charles Wheatley, taxi driver, be held to the Multnomah county grand jury as a re sult of the death of Mrs. Amelia New bury, a widow, who was run down by Wheatley's machine at Sixth and Flanders .streets early Saturday even ing. Wheatley was openly accused of reckless driving in the report of the jurors. But one witness offered testimony In the inquest into the death of Max Servis, this being Earl Adams, a stu dent, who. with the exception of the taxi driver, was the only person who witnessed a part of the accident which resulted in the death of young Servis. The boy, Adams, testified he was about 20 feet in front of the taxicab when he heard the crash when it struck Servis. Turning, he saw the Injured man being thrown into the air by the force of the impact, he said. He also said the taxicab traveled or skidded about 20 feet beTore it was brought to a stop. He said he could not tell how fast the machine was moving, nor did he hear a warning horn give notice to the pedestrian. He said the fatal accident occurred at a dark corner and that Servis was crossing the street at the time. He said the front lights of the taxi were burning and appeared to be in proper order. Tmtimonr I Conflirtlntr. On the advice of lus attorney. Frank J. Lonergan. the taxi driver. Hall did rot take the witness stand to give testimony concerning the fatal acci dent. Nine witnesses were called to give their version of the accident which resulted in the death of Mrs. Newbury at Sixth and Flanders streets, and the testimony differed widely in many of the material points. Policemen Schimp and Burdick. who said thew saw the woman struck down, testified the taxi, driven by I i.nnely Whcatlev. was traveling at about 20 i Bniwt Alcazar. BT LEONE CASS BAER. R. AND MRS. SPROUTS had three sprouts on their family tree. There was Lonely Sprouts, who. stuttered; Brussels Sprouts, who was the black Iamb of the garden, and Esther, the flower of the tree, who lisp-thed. The three Sprouts went to the Dodge academy, run by a princi pal who dabbled in politics; a teacher who had literary aspirations, and a matron who would flirt. School was a sort of side issue with the princi pal. When he wasn't pursuing his favorite pastime- of engaging two roosters In arena bouts he taught the ideas of the young ladies in his charge to shoot. In the meantime- they ran things to suit themselves with the three Sprouts sisters as the ringlead ers in the activities. The profesor is dabbling In politics and has pitted against him a rural sheriff and his pal, a reformer. The professor and the reformer and the sheriff all get tangled up in an argu ment over a rooster bout, and the girls run the school, with only occa sional help from the professor. Now if this plot means anything to you or conveys any fdea of anything what ever to you. It's more than was hoped for. There isn't any rhyme, but plenty of reason to "Girls Will Be Girls." The reason is to take us all back to childhood days. The second scene Is a whole show in itself. A schoolroom in the academy with desks all in a row, and 'seats filled with smiling, saucy pupils, the maids of the chorus. On the front seats sit the three ornery incorrigl bles, the Sprout sprouts. Lee Daly as the lachrymose, dispassionate, even mournful professor sits at his desk and asks questions. "What is a spinal column?" he asks Ether (Mabel Wll- ber). "A spinal column runs through you, your head sits on one and and you sit on the other." chants Mabel or Esther. "Give me a sentence using judicious." he asks Lonely Sprouts Eva Ollvotti). "I went to a party; I had matzoths and gifilta fish and other jew dishes," warbles Lonely or Eva. "Make a sentence using the phrase, 'bitter end,'" says the pro fessor to Brussels, the bad baby of the trio. Brussels, who Is May Wal lace, says, "My cat chased a' dog and the dog turned and bitter end." There is a question for each pupil, and to many queries the fltnart class answers In unison. "What animal pro vides you shoes and feeds you?" asks teacher, and the cla&s shouts, "father." Then there are recitations, with Lone ly stuttering through an ode to the stars, Esther lisp-thing about spring, and Brussels getting all tangled up with the "Bridge at Midnight." While the schoolroom scene is the happiest and most memorable, there are plenty of other worth-while epi sodes. For instance, there's the quar tet, composed of Professor Daly, Det mar as the sheriff, George Natanson as a music teacher and Edward Sedan as a picturesquo tramp. Fully one dozen times they traveled back to sing again the chorus of "Watermelon Time." Several interpolations of songs occur, one of the best being "Brown October Ale," by Natanson in excel lent voice. Eva Olivotti's "By Lo" was a lovely number. So was Miss Wilber's "Sweet and Low" song. Cast. Professor Khonezer lodge Lee Daly miles an hour, while X. J. HarTSon. a cook, said the taxi was driving be tween 20 and 25 miles an hour. Olin Thompson, a city fireman, and Wilton Ragan, a soldier, were equally as positive that the taxi was not travel ing in excess of lfi miles an hour. Thompson gave it as his opinion the machine was running not more than 12 or 13 miles an hour. Speed Judges Differ. The first three witnesses also testified the taxi skidded about 20 feet after it struck Mrs. Newbury, while Thompson testified it stopped within a distance of 10 or 11 feet. The testimony developed that Mrs. Newbury, who was accompanied by two of her children, started to cross Sixth street In the middle of the block. Two machines, including the taxicab, were going north on Sixth street. The machine In front swerved out to the left, and just missed striking Mrs. Newbury, while the taxi, iiirectly behind, ran her down befifre she could reach .the curbing. The jury which heard the evidence In this case recommended that every effort be made to apprehend the driver of the machine directly in front of the taxicab, as they reported in their verdict that this other ma chine was equally to blame for the death of the woman. Jiewlrory Jury DiKairrerM. Charles Newbury, 11-year-old son , Of the dead woman, testified briefly, - but could throw no additional light on the tragedy. The driver. Wheat ley, did not testify, on advice of his attorney, Frederick H- Drake. The jury in the Servis case was composed of C. L. Blakeley. T. C. ' Relchle, Herbert Hull. Bert Groocock, ! I P. W. Quimhy and Joshua Pcnrod. . All jurors signed the verdict. In the Newbury Investigation Jurors Richard Lemon. G. B. Murray, R. Stipe and Fred Wilson signed the '. verdict. Jurors Harry Lance and Charles Boss refused to concur in the findings of the other four jurors. Both taxi drivers are still at lib erty on their own recognizance as a result of preliminary investigations prior to the coroner's inquests, hut steps will be taken at once to lay the cases before the grand jury, ac cording to Deputy District Attorney Dempsey. who handled the two cases for the state.

This especial arrangement owes Its origin to the creative ability of Ted Shawn alone. He paraphrased the dance drama, told in epilogue before each chapter of the story. It is taken from "The Arabian Nights" and a group of 16 exceptional dancers are Introduced In the telling of the story. Act one shows the bronze palace of the shah of Persia, where groups of girls dance for a prince who is wearied of them and life In general. In a dream he learns of a princess Julnar who lives under the sea, and scene two takes place In the ocean's cavern where he goes to find Julnar. Here the dance drama departs from the usual and prescribed in this va riety of entertainment and an ani mated fish acts as guard to Old Neptune. Betty Horst does a jelly fish dance, a weird floating number which is unique. She is clothed in veils that flop and flip like the ten tacles of a jelly fish. A realistic octopus dances in and adds more sea flavor. In act three Julnar is sold as a slave in the market and the prince purchases her. The incidents are well connected, the romance and action well sustained. One of the at tractive qualities of the presentation id the dignified reading of the prologue by Bertha Fiske in the, role of Scherez,ade. Miles Smith is the prince and dances just like all esthetic male dancers, in leaps and acrobatic whirls. Grace McCrea adds a quaint Chinese dance conceit, Anne Douglas offers a graceful Interpretation of a gold fish dance, and a really meritorious num ber is contributed by Jack Mershen as an Algerian soldier. Lillian Powell, a graceful blonde girl, is Julnar and has two or three unusual dances. The stage settings are unusually artistic and provide proper atmosphere for the dances. Jones and Sylvester have returned with their clever turn. One of them is an actor who leaves his apartment house to argue with the other, who is a rotund huckster, crying his wares In the streets. Their exchange of comedy is good, and their songs are capital. The huckster Interpolates clever lines and together they rake in the laughter. Maurice Samuels Is a repeater, with his act, "A Day at Ellis Island," un changed. It Is fortunately a good sketch and Mr. Samuels Is a clever character actor, playing most nat urally the role of an Italian laborer who awaits the arrival of his fiancee and his eon, by another marriage. Frank Bosco is the son this season. He plays the violin in excellent man ner and was recalled three times at the matinee yesterday. The act is full of bright lines and fun. Green and Pugh are a pair of happy hearted dusky comedians who have fine turn, specializing in music and interchange of Jokes. A vocal ode to John Barleycorn, illustrated with crepe-decorated bottle, proved a riot. The smartest little pup in the world of vaudeville is Muffs, a white Spitz which looks like a muff.

He was locked in the city jail. What was scheduled for a simple debate at the Albina public library last night on "Shall We Have Uni versal Military Training?" resolved itself into a considerable personal at tack upon Rabbi Jonah B. Wise of Temple Beth Israel, who took the neg ative, by Dr. Calvin S. White, ex-state health officer and during the war major in the medical corps of the United States army, who argued the affirmative. It was after Dr. White had ex pounded his vlewB and Dr. Wise had expressed his beliefs that Dr. White, in his ten-minute closing speech, at tacked Dr. Wise as a pacifist and took occasion to read letters written by the rabbi in June of 1915 in which he characterized the celebration of Me morial day while he was absent from the city on a fishing trip as "a flam boyant scalp dance" and "that the burden of the orators was that Amer lea is in a critical political position. What a facetious but blatant lie:" Rabbi Wlw Silenced. "That's the kind of stuff he's been peddling all the time," cried Dr, White, turning about and facing Rabbi Wise, "and, after an editorial had been published patriotically an swering his first letter, he pens an other of the same kind, ending with the statement, 'I expect to go fishing again July 4." That's the kind of people who oppose compulsory train ing." Rabbi Wise was entitled to ten min utes in which to close, but when M. H. Calef, presiding for the Albina Citi zenship league, beckoned him to pro ceed he shook his head in the nega tive and made no reply whatever. The audience evidently was rather stunned by the sudden flash and when Mr. Calef calted for questions or com ments from those present, there was no response, so Mr. Calef asked a question himself "What good came out of the war?" "They put down one militarist na tion that's all I know," replied Rabbi Wise. Debaters Leave Platform. A Doy arose and asked Dr. White a question concerning military educa tional training advantages and, in spite of repeated calls from Mr. Calef for further questions, there were none and the meeting adjourned. The two debaters left the platform without speaking to each other. A large number of men, women and children heard the debate, which was opened by Dr. White, who detailed th advantages to be gained by compul sory military training In the way physical exercise, regular sleep, proper rations, moral safeguards, edu cational opportunities, respect for law and order, etc. He told of how one man out of every four called into the military service after this country en tered the war was found unfit and said that such a thing would never have been recorded had there been system of training euch as that now proposed. The only people who oppose mill tary training." said Dr. White, "are the pacifists, the bolshevists, persons of recent foreign alliances and last, but not least, rnose detestable lndi viduals known as 'conscientious ob jectors "Melting Pot" Is Held Krror. We have talked a lot about our 'melting pot,' but when the hour of crucial test came we took the lid off that thing and found it covered with the scum of the earth; it hadn't worked right. Now we've got to ar range a plan that will work and military training Of the kind proposed will do it The man who hides behind the skirts of a woman or under the cloak of religion or otherwise dodges his manly responsibility to defend his country is unfit to live in that country and should be deported or otherwise adequately cared for." Rabbi Wise declared that the pro posed step constitutes a radical change in the policy not only, of this country but of the entire white race. including England. "I do not agree with Dr. White that those who oppose the military- train ing plan are of the type of which he speaks and I believe that it must be that civilized people can find a better means than this for the adjudication of their differences, said Rabbi Wise. "History shows that military training has always led to war, Just as It did in Germany and as it has from the days of Babylonia and .' jsyria down through the ages." Studies Taken la Germany, Explaining how, in his younger days, he had gone to Germany to study for his degree, "thinking then, like many did, that one must finish a course in Germany to be quite cor rect," he had seen militarism at its full and learned to "loathe and detest it" Rabbi Wl emphatically denied the assertion that there is any special ef ficacy in the military training brand of education, holding that young men of from 19 years up are too old to be helped in that way. He said that instruction Imparted to them in that way would be nothing more than in formation and would not tend to fit them for Strong careers. That the country might devise other perhaps more expensive means of providing education for its youths If It chooses to provide it, was his statement; but the compulsory mili tary feature he absolutely opposed. of the day. One of the first actions of the Juntas, which are presided over by the colonels, the highest ranking officers who are allowed to join, was to decide that none of the members should allow their names to be placed In nomination for places on the gen eral staff. The result would have been that after the deaths or retirement of the present members there would be no officers to form the staff. But 23 officers refused to be bound by this decision, with the result that they were haled before courts of honor and their resignations from the army insisted upon. Governments, under pressure from the liberal, socialist and other progressive elements in the cortes, have promised to revoke these decisions of the c6urts of honor, but found It difficult to do so. for the juntas threatened to withdraw their support from the government; In other words, should an emergency arise such as a revolution or social war. the army would be leaderless. Thus the Juntas became a political force which opposed radical legisla tion and otherwise interfered in af fairs of state. They are really a great fraternal society, the members of which accept orders only from the persidlng colonels In all affairs of the army, ignoring those of king, generals and government. To dissolve these Juntas the cortes must pass a bill to repeal the act which legalized them, and the mo ment that is done every Infantry of ficer w-ho obeys the orders of his Junta must resign from the army. Sooner or later the "new cabinet must face a debate on the "military question." This has. since ths inter vention of the juntas In pohTics, each time led to the downfall of the min istry. King Alfonso's name has invariably been left out of the discussion, but it is said that the officers induced him to support the organization, and his action recently In attending a big banquet given at'Toledo by the In fantry officers has lent color to the report SPAIN IS MAKING RECORD MINISTERS HAVE RAPID CHANGES IX NATIONAL JTXTAS. CAR IS WHITE ELEPHANT English Woman Has Monster Auto Built for Kaiser. LONDON. Ballet girls of "Buzz- Buzz," London's biggest musical suc cess, are riding home these nights on cusnions meant for the ex-kaiser. The most sumptuous car in the world, seized as Hohenzollern property by the British government at the out break of war. is now owned by Gladys Dillon, revue producer. -Miss Dillon has owned the car for year, but wouldn't have had it week if she could have sold it. It came to her from a Norwegian to gether with a yacht once raced by the Emperor Wilhelm. Both were bought by the Norwegian at public uotion. After trying to pay their upkeep for three years he presented them to Miss Dillon. The car is so magnificent that no body will buy It: It seats 10 people and can hold 15. It has a combined dinner and card table In the rear, with seats for seven arranged around it. In the back Is a cellarette and an installation whereby lunches can be cooked at short order. The carriage, including the driver's seat which ac commodates three, is In mahogany four inches thick. Inlaid with silver in oriental design. Sunken opaque lights supply the illumination. The floor is parquet oak. Silken curtains conceal the windows, which are pro- ected by sheet glass an inch thick The engine of the car is a 70-horse- power machine. On Armistice night Miss Dillon ven tured to appear In the car at the Cri terion restaurant. Hooligans from the east end surrounded It and made such' a disturbance that a policeman turned In a riot call and an armed squad had to escort the car back to its garage. Since then the only use to which it has been put has been to con vey members of the ballet in Miss Dillon's theater to their homes when the show has closed unusually late. The entire ballet has been conveyed in three trips. 'The car is a white elephant," Miss Dillon says. "Englishmen won't buy it because it belonged to the kaiser and because they say It is too 'swanky.' Frenchmen won't buy it because of the 70 per cent duty they would have to pay to get it into France. The only man who can afford to keep the car is an American mil lionaire, and I am now considering three offers from New York." English automobile experts who have seen the car pronounce it the most luxurious In the world.
