and Valuables Taken.
A talkative burglar, operating In
the early morning hours, obtained
about $85 in money and two watches
in two east side homes which he
looted between 4 and 4:30 o'clock yes
terday. He first entered the H. S.
Tuthill home, 1611 East Salmon
street, about 4:30, and less than an
hour after a man answering the same
description entered the residence of
C O. Pick. 1750 East Yamhill street.
- Tuthill awoke while the man was
going through his room. The burglar
kept calmly about his business talk
ing w th Tuthill the while. He ex

he had picked it up and after making
sure no other valuables were about

Mrs. Fuller died at 4 o'clock
.last Saturday morning at her
home, 1111 Fortieth-street, S. E.
The end came as a sudden shock
to her relatives, for the day be
fore she had been in apparent
good health and busy in prepa-
rations for celebrating Christ
mas day.
She came to Portland In 1908
from her home in San Antonio,
Texas., and In 1916 was married

rose. Col. The latter, with his
daughter Edith, will be here
for the funeral.
" NE of the best bills In a season
went on at Pantages yesterday
afternoon. The Rigoletto brothers
and their wives one wife to each
brother top the list. The two Mes-
dames Rigoletto are billed by their
professional names, the Swanson sis
ters, and contribute to the act on a
05-50 ba9is with the Rigolettos. The
girls are dainty and pretty and
blonde, they dress beautifully and
their song and dance specialties are
charming. Their voices are high and
sweet and are heard effectively In
yodeling duets. The Rigolettos are
entertainers of infinite variety. They
give a very fine exhibition of physi
cal culture and are roundly applauded
for their artistry and physical graces.
They offer a bit of legerdemain that
delights and an episode in juggling
which Is the acme of skill in that
line. Their act is closed with a
capital specialty In which the two
men come on as Italian musicians,
one with a guitar and his brother
as a one-man orchestra.
Like the girl in the nursery rhyme,
he has rings on his fingers and bells
on his toes and he surely makes
music wherever he goes. He has a
drum on his back which he beats by
wiggling a toe to which Is tied a
string leading to the drumstick. He
plays an accordion, blows a horn ana
sings. The two pretty Swansons
dash in as Italian street singers and
dance a picturesque fling. The audi
ence wa3 most demonstrative, recall
ing the four again and again.
Ted Shawn presents the cleverest
protege he has ever sent us in any
of his many dance novelties. Her
name is Marjorie Peterson and she
is a miniature Adeline Genee, save
that this little maid does not do toe
dancing. She reflects all the brilliant
schooling of the famed Denishawn
and is a revelation In physical beauty
and vigor. Her technique is amazing
in its perfection, and she dances as
lightly as the proverbial thistledown.
Miss Peterson appears in three beau
tiful solos, once as a valentine maid
in an old-fashioned valse ballet, an
interpretative bit that is exceedingly
gay and bright and quaint. Again
she offers a saucy pas de trois in
which two others of the dancers join
her, and in her last specialty she is
the central sparkling figure In a
group which offers a dance of the
Odalisques. One other exceptionally
interesting number in this series is
the Nautch girl, offered by Marion
Williams, a spirited and charming
dance full of life and color and done
to particularly fitting music .
Jan Rubin! returns to play a few j
beautiful melodies on his violin. His
art is positive and his playing is a
genuine treat for all music lovers.
He varies his selections, but invari
ably chooses aright and plays them
with real feeling.
Kennedy and Francis are a black
face pair who renew their acquaint
ance while one peeks out from the
bars of the city bastile and the other
saunters past. Their arguments
prove amusing and diverting.
Mabel Blondels act goes nicelv
until she imitates Frisco. Her sug
gestive and unattractive dance could
be profitably eliminated, or better
still, done in skirts. The rest of her
offering has pleasant moments and
originality in song characterizations.
Opening the bill are Conchas Junior
with Julius Newman as habitues of
an army camp. Their comedy - is
good and the weight-lifting done by
Conchas Is sensational.
The first episode of the new film
feature "Bride 13," went on yester
day and proved a thriller. It is a
Fox offering.
Bramwell to Be on Job Soon.

DECISIOX OX GORDON'S SCAT
IS VP. TO. LEGISLATURE. '
Any Ruling He Alight Make Would
Bo Without Effect Is Asser
tion of JuJg Bingham.. '
SALEM. Or, Dec 27. (Special.)
Judge G. O. Bingham, after hearing:
the protest filed by Leslie W. Murray
to unseat Herbert Gordon aa a mem
ber of the legislature from Multno
mah county, on the ground that the
latter was a candidate for two offices
at the Mm election, intimated that
any ruling he might make in the
case would be without effect for the
reason that there was no law under
which the legislators could be pun
ished should their final decision In
the controversy be adverse to that
given by the court.
Attorneys for r. Gordon contended
that the legislature was the exclusive
judge of the qualifications of Its
members, and that any ruling the
court might make In the case would
be inoperative and without legal
standing. 4
Mr. Murray's attorney argued that
it was the duty of the court to shape
the findings of fact based on the
testimony introduced at the hearing
and refer the same to the legislature
immediately after It convenes on
January 10.
Judge Bingham will not give
final decision In the case until Mr.
Dormltzer files his brief. 1
