FRANK COLTILETTI. the little
New York jockey who proved to
be the riding sensation of the
winter .racing season at New Orleans,
will be seen at the Peoples theater
during the showing of "The Sporting
Duchess," which will open today.
Alice Joyce is starred in the produc
tion. The racing scenes were taken at the
fair grounds in New Orleans when
the racing season was at its height.
Many of the scenes are of real races
and the crowds show real sporting
blood.
The race in which Clipstone wins
the derby was a special attraction.
Several well known horses and
jockeys rode for the Vitagraph pro
duction. So thrilling was the race
that many of the players wanted to
bet on the outcome.
After, the scene was finished Coltl
lettl admitted that it was a real race
and that he only won by a close mar
gin as each of the other jockeys were
eager to show what he could do.
Among the well known runners in
the race were Orderly, Gray Eagle,
Comme Ci, Staint's Bridge, Brother
McLean, Nominee and Toddler. In ad
dition to Coltiletti, Jockeys Wida.
Pitz. Erickson. Carroll, Mooney and
King appeared in colors. These boys
gave real color to the picture and
created a racing atmosphere seldom
found in the movies.
Alice Joyce has a strong emotional
role, in which she has the bearing of
a: duchess and proves to be a girl of
no mean athletic ability.
The "Zampa" overture and "The
Birds' Picnic" by Pelz are the two
concert selections to be played with
the new Peoples programme.
Screen Gossips.
The musical setting for "The Cop
perhead," starring Lionel Barrymore,
will fit both the period and the pic
ture, according to A. C. Raleigh, manage-.
Songs such as "Nancy Lee,"
popular during the pre-clvll war days,
have been used by Director Kpowles.
Mr. Raleigh explains the fact that a
musical background could help in
terpret a film if its selections were
modern and its time of action years
ago. "There are Bible ccenea that
could be interpreted by Dardenella,
declared Mr. Raleigh. "Dardanella
could be used in an oriental scene but
but he has refused to comply with
the order. It says the rental is S125

The defendant claims that when the
property was sold to the Weinhard
estate by James Bremner, ownership
of the building was retained, with, the
understanding that when the Wein
hard estate is ready to erect its pro
posed addition to the hotel the de
fendant is tc be allowed a reasonable
time in which to move the building,
the rental for the ground being S60
a month. Bremner says he proposes to
stand by that agreement.

the Culver City studios soon. Other
prominent writers now on the
grounds are Gouverneur Morris, Basil
King and Maurice Maeterlinck.
Ethel Grey Terry who plays "Rose"
In the new picture "The Penalty" by
Gouverneur Morris thinks It is en
tirely possible for "a good woman t-
fall in love with a diabolical crippled
man like "Blizzard" of the story.
"I think Rose, being a good woman,
instinctively knew the good that was
in Blizzard," says Miss Terry. "Of
course she did not know about his
early injury to his' head which in
spired all his mad crimes. She just
felt that somewhere behind this ter
rible exterior lurked a noble spirit.
That's wnat made her fall in love
with' him. It's that way with women.
Their instinct tells them things which
men cannot see. I think it would be
entirely possible for a woman in real
life to care deeply for a man like
blizzard, crinnled thmifirh hn was f
! his personality and great mind over
' came any physical handicap."

Democratic Senator Believes Bour
bon Convention Will Go Back
on President.
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. April 9. The demo
cratic national convention must re
pudiate the stand of President Wil
son for unmodified ratification of the
peace treaty, United States Senator
Walsh, democrat. Massachusetts, de
clared in an address here tonight.
Senator, Walsh asserted his belief
that the convention will do this.
"If it does not," he said, "the demo
cratic party faces a catastrophe in
the coming presidential election."
Of all the democrats who have been
widely mentioned as possible candi
dates for president, the speaker eaid,
only Senator Hitchcock. leader of the
administration forces in the senate,
would eonsent to run on a platform
for ratification of the treaty as it
stands.
The speaker attacked the demands
made on Germany by the allies and
declared that promises which the
president had made and was unable to
keep are responsible "wherever there
is rebellion against oppression in the
world today; wherever helpless people

Fossil Bank Lets Contract.

ors, were successful binners for a $15,

building an addition to the Steiwer
& Carpenter bank at Foseil, it was
announced today. Every bit cf ma
terial will have to be transported 22
miles by auto trucks from Condon.
The interior will be finished in hard
wood and the floors will be of tile.
, Garage Gives Ball.
THE DALLES, Or.. April 9. (Spe
cial.) The W. A. Johnston & Son
garage opened last night with a big
free public ball. The display room
of the new garage contains the larg
est piece of plate glass in the city,
tt measuring 10x13 reet.
As this is the last Saturday before
the closing date for filing declara
tions of candidacy, a number of men
are trying to make upatheir minda to
day whether they should listen to the
persuasions of their friends and be
come candidates, or simply forget the
suggestions and attend to business.
The last Saturday always finds many
prospective candidates in this frame
of mind, for psychological reasons.
Thursday will be the last day for
notifying the secretary of state.
While the candidates-who-may-be
are holding their debate with them
selves, there are other political mat
ters afoot. For Instance, a drive is
under way to line np every automo
bile owner in the state to support the
road amendment in the May election.
There are more than 80,000 car owners
in Oregon, every one of whom is
directly concerned in the fate of this
measure. It will cost tSOO'to reach
every owner with a. 1-cent stamp, and
It will cost several thousand dollars
to circularize them probably 16000.
This work is being undertaken by
the automobile association and a let
ter has been prepared and printed
which will explain to the automobile
owners how it is to their personal
interest to vote for the road amend
ment. If the measure is adopted, the leg
islature has authorized the commis
sion to sell t5.000.00u of bonds to
carry on the road programme. These
bonds, like the bonds already issued,
will be paid for and retired from the
automobile license fees and will not
be a direct tax on the taxpayers of
the state.
Just at present. In political circles,
there la more-discussion of legisla
tive tickets than of any other local
matter. Enough candidates have
filed to fill the state senatorial wing
of the legislatire ticket, but the house
end is a few shy. This, oX course,
refers to the republican ticket, for
the democratic ballot thus far comes
near being a complete blank.
There have been rumors of various
legislative "tickets." but none has
appeared, notwithstanding that fore
casts of these tentative tickets have
been circulated freely during the past
week. It is predicted that there will
be at least three tickets, backed by
as many different groups of republi
cans. Indications point to a determi
nation to bring the old fish and
game commission fight into the pri
maries, although the average voter in
Muitnomah county doesn't care a can
celed postage stamp for anything
about angling, but is mightily con
cerned about taxes.

all other necessary improvements, ac
cording to Mayor Baker. The upper
waterfront development plan pro
posed by City Engineer Laurgaard, to
gether with the proposal for over
head roadways, is favored by the
mayor, but he is firm, in the opinion
that Portland should first provide for
business to enter the city, and later
take up the matter of caring for such
business.
"I am firmly convinced." says the
mayor, "that the development of Swan
island should be accomplished with
out delay, to obtain a straight and
safe channel and to provide cheap in
dustrial sites. We must plan for the
future. The development of our har
bor should be our first objective. Oth
er necessary Improvements can fol
low. "I am opposed to the loading of the
ballot with too many proposals. The
average citicen of Portland will join
in a programme of conservative im
provements, but a sudden desire to
rebuild the town overnight will not
be sanctioned by the voters."
The city council is now awaiting of
ficial approval of the Swan Island
project from the Port of Portland
commission. The commission of pub
lic docks adopted a resolution Thurs
day indorsing it. As soon as the in
dorsement by the port commission is
received the council will set a time
for a public hearing.
