MD ARRIVES TOO' LATE Oaks. folicc Break in Door of Room in lodging House to Reach Vic tim Body Identified. An overdose of morphine, probably administered by himself in an attempt to commit suicide, caused the death of O.eoree W. Black who passed away yesterday morning: in the ambulance which was taking him from his room in the Royal Palm lodging; house at Third and Flanders streets, to the emergency hospital, according to "Dr. Fred Zieprier. city physician, who per formed the autopsy late yesterday. The police, on investigation, found yesterday that Black was from Win nipeg. Canada, where his divorced wife. Lillian Black, and bis 5-year-old son, "Wallace, reside at present. The police received a call from J. K. rvpvlin, proprietor of the Royal Palm at 7 o'clock ystcrday morning. Dev lin said lie had heard loud noises in Black's room. Motorcycle patrolmen forced open the door of Black's room and found him under the bed in con vulsions. According to Devlin a lodger passing through the hall re ported he had heard either Black or some one in his room exclaim, "Then we'll both die together." Body Is Identified. Identification of the hody was first made by F. J. Robinson, owner of a business place at 107 Xorth Third street. Robinson said Black came to his place Friday night. He noticed Robinson's Canadian war veteran but ton. Black told Robinson that he had at one time lived in Canada. On rummaging through Black's ef fects the police found a lengthy let ter addressed to George Black from a woman who signed herself Lillian. References were made in the commu nication to "our son Wallie" and in dications were that Black and his wife had been divorced. She mentioned the fact that until he was cured of the drug habit she and Wallie would be unable to see him. llancinK Attempt Simnected. "You will have to face God some day and explain everything to him,'"wrote his wife. When found at the hotel Black's vest was tied in a loop .and attached to the end of his belt and as a board had been ripped from the closet door, the police believe that Black first at tempted to hang himself. Black registered at the lodging house as J. H. Swank. He was em ployed as telegraph operator at the Postal Telegraph company's office when he first came to the city and was more recently an employe of the Federal Telegraph company. He was dismissed from the Federal Telegraph company. Papers in his effects indi cate that he was a Canadian govern ment operator during the war and worked in several cities throughout Canada.

Minerva Ureka, prima donna, put over her big song, 'Rackety Coo." with skill, and the au dience manifested its appreciation. Violet Woods sang a pretty song, "They're All Sweeties.'.' Martha Biehle. soubrette, gave her song, "Laughing Water," with prayety and charm. Miss Biehle was liked in her specialty, "Texas Tommy," with Paul Locke. . The chorus, following its success of last week, won new laurels with its work yesterday and sang with the same sense of harmony and animation which characterized its work In the revue, "Hello Portland."

EUINNING with Alphonse Berg's unique fashion show as the first act on the bill clear through to the lart act, which features Little Pipifax, one of vaudeville's funniest clowns, the new bill at Pantages is an excel lent one. One of the most delightful acts among the many is that of the two Weaver brothers, who are weav ers of comedy set to music. As typi cal hayseeds and self-conscious to the bursting point, they gallop onto the stage, bowing and scraping awk- wardly. One plays a weird stringed Instrument, while they both sing j "Down on the Arkansas" with a dozen choruses and a wild dance for added measure. Then they have a duet play ing on saws only the music is in their own throats and they keep up the foolery with the saws. The act is novel and the Weavers are excel lent comedians. Billy Small has a big act in which he and a violin contrive o give a fine medley accounting. Glad tunes, ad tunes, gay and grave, he plays, and all of it is delightful and played with skill. A pair of whizE-bang men dancers are Miller and Capman, whose steps are the last cry in eccentricity. One of the debonair dancers does intricate steps inside the confines of a whirl ing lasso, and his partner does a. spe cialty which is amazing in its achieve ment of difficult and sensational steps. They add variety with several ongs, cleverly put across. The two are smiling, snappy chaps who are such prime favorites by the time their -act is done that the audience is loath to let them go. I.ittlo Pipifax is a roustabout clown who pantomimes cleverly and gets tangled with the tables and chairs and his own self until the audience roars. He is a good acrobat, too and sets all his art to comedy. A clever chap working straight puts over eome smart acrobatic turns in the act with Pipifax. Alphonse Berg is a theatrical per son who has a novel act. He takes odds and ends of material, the piano cover or the lamp shade and deftly drapes them on the figures of his living models, developing smart party frocks as he chats. The act is unique and artistic and very colorful. 'The Kollies of 1020" returns with Jack Henry and William Pollard lt two men supports, and a pretty maid, Beatrice Brookes, to do the prima donna honors. A chorus adds voirrs and dance action.

(Spe cial.) All mid-Columbia fruit dis tricts were visited by a steady. down pour of rain last night and today, which will be of inestimable benefit to strawberry districts of Underwood mnd White Salmon, Wash., where no Irrigation is available. The season's crop in these districts will be in creased 10 to 15 per cent, it is said. The rain, according to A. W. Stone, executive manager of the Applegrow ers' association, is worth thousands of dollars to applegrowers.
