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.

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.

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

it T ULNAR OF THE SEA" is the
tl latest dance drama to be sent
out from Denishawn, where Ruth St.
Denis and Ted Shawn dance and teach
others to express themselves in dance.
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.

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

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

him to support the organization, and

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. It is
priced at $15,000.
