NANCE INSTITUTION.
Hillsboro Meeting Pledges $1800
or Needed $20,000 for 1922
and 1923 Budgets.
HILLSBORO, Or., Feb. 20. (Spe
cial.) At a meeting here tonight of
alumni of Pacific university at For
est Grove, steps were taken in co
operation with the board of trustees
to save the university from being
closed. As a. result of aid that was
pledged by the alumni, the university
will reopen as usual -for the next
semester.
The immediate problem to be met is
the raising of $20,000 to care for the
1922 and 1923 budgets. Within 10
minutes tonight more than $1800 was
raised at the meeting.
Although no definite . plan was
adopted to raise the rest of the funds,
it was proposed that alumni who have
subscribed to the $2,000,000 endow
ment fund be asked to move forward
their donations so that instead of the
money coming in over a period of five
years it would be donated next year
and thus would care for the immedi
ate needs of the university.
The details of this plan as well as
other proposals will be considered
at another meeting next Thursday.
R. J. Kirkwood of Portland was
named chairman of the alumni com
mittee and Miss Manche Langley of
Forest Drove was chosen permanent
secretary.
At the Theaters.
Pantages.
A WELL-BALANCED bill went on
the boards yesterday at ,' Pan
tages, with a youthful and interest
ing Portland girl, named Evelyn
Drewery, in a good spot on the list.
Evelyn is very pretty, of an engaging,
appealing youthfulness and she has a
beautiful voice, a soprano of sweet
ness and wide range. She has a rep
ertoire of three songs, one of them
a pretentious aria that brings out
the high notes and power of her
voice. Another song is a gay little
ballad and the third is an oriental
conceit. She is not the headline act,
but she was warmly applauded upon
her appearance, and all of her songs
won applause.
A comedian of the droll, quiet type,
who comes onto the stage in request
for assistants in an electrical demon
stration, is the funniest person on
the whole bill. He has an original
method of assuming stupidity and an
embarrassed smile, which sends the
audience into laughter.. The act is
called "Current of Fun," and is a
scientific enigma filled with refresh
ing comedy. Madame Burnell dem
onstrates the flow of electricity
through her fingers and the experi
ments, along with the comedy of the
assistant, provide a clever act.
Sam Lazar and Josh Sale have a
keen arrangement of songs, with
piano oddities and a line of original
chatter. They are made up as
ethiopians and their travesty is most
amusing. They call it "The Bagoona
Hunters, and their burlesque on
hunting is full of fun.
Hazel Langton is a beauty, Hal
Langton is a very likable and divert-

i
Common garden sage, brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faied hair beautifully dark and luxu
riant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is trou
blesome. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation, improved
by the'addition of other ingredients;
a largo bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful.
we all desire to retain our youthful
aDDearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair . with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound no one
can tell, because it does it so natur
ally, so evenly. Tou just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
ing comedian, and Thomas Smith is
a wiz at the piano. All three sing
in good harmony, and Hal puts over
an original line of 'chatter of a.- non
sensical sort, which finds instant
favor with his audience.
Edythe and Eddie Adair have an
interesting conversational episode in
a boot shop, the dialogue of which is
full of bright lines.
Opening the bill are the aerial
Rooneys, a pair of athletic and agile
trapeze performers. The girl is young
and pretty and they are both graceful,
well-trained artists.
Closing the bill are the Patrowars,
a quartet of very fine acrobatic and
hand-to-hand balancers, whose artis
try is marked by new ideas and
skillful treatment. The hangings and
other investiture of the act com
mands attention.

ACTRESS IS REPRIMANDED
JUDGE SCENTS ATTEMPT TO
COERCE EX-HUSBAND.
Mrs. Gould's Application for Order
Vacating Divorce Decree in
Paris Is Denied.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. Supreme
Court Justice Kalian today denied ap
plication of Edith Kelly Gould for an
order vacating the divorce decree ob
tained in Paris by Frank J. Gould.
In dismissing -the action with $10
ccsts, the court set forth that the
action had not been brought in good
faith by the actress and that "the
limit of her hope is to coerce the de
fendant." '
The decision also denied Mrs.Gould
th rierht to file an amended reply
containing allegations that assail and
put in issue the regularity oi tne
French action. Justice Mullan said
that although the plaintiff had , the
fullest opportunity "she had not seen
fit to say a single word in her
defense."
It would be open to the plaintitr,"
he continued, "to assert that tne rec
ords of the French criminal court were
not ponied accurately, or to deny that
she had ever committed adultery. But-
she had been content to rest Her case
upon highly technical points of law,
involving the jurisdiction of the
French courts and the regularity of
the French divorce proceedings.
'An innocent woman is not ex-
Dected to relinquish any rights she
may possess, however technical," Jus
tice Mullan decided, "but she would
run barefoot over naked swords to
vindicate her honor, assailed as plain
tiff's honor has been assailed. At
east she would be abnormal if she
failed to avail herself somehow, some
time, , of the opportunity she has had
here to deny the highly circumstan
tial charges' of her guilt."
Justice Mullan said he was con
vinced Mrs. Gould merely wished to
coerce her former husband into "pur
chasing the nuisance value she pos
sesses' and that the aetlon is not
made in good faith and the plaintiff
has not a meritorious cause."

COLORADO EX-SENATOR, AGED
67, PASSES.
Two Terms Served as Governor of
State Race for Congress as
Democrat Dramatic.
DENVER, Colo.. Feb. 20. John F.
Shafroth, ex -United States senator
from Colorado, and twice governor of
this state, died here this afternoon.
He was 67 years old. He had been
ill about a week. Senator Shafroth
was a democrat.
After having served in the national
house of representatives, Mr. Shafroth
was elected governor of Colorado in
1908 and re-elected in 1910. He was
chosen United States senator in 1912,
but was defeated in 1918 by Lawrence
C. Phipps, republican.'
In 1904, one of the most dramatic
incidents of Mr. Shafroth's political
career occurred when he made the
race for congress for the 68th session
as a democrat. His opponent was
Robert W. Bonynge, republican. On
the face of returns Mr. Shafroth was
declared the winner. Mr. Bonynge,
however, charged fraud in the count
ing of ballots.
Prompted by his desire to hold of
fice without criticism, Mr. Shafroth
instituted an investigation of his own.
In one of the most remarkable
speeches of its kind ver delivered in
the national house of representatives
Mr. Shafroth resigned from that body.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. A thousand
debutantes and ex-debutantes took
charge .of the Hotel Biltmore today
and ran it on a most happy and ex
pensive style for the benefit of the
Society for the Prevention of Tuber
culosis.
Girls and matrons whose names fill
pages of the social register served as
waitresses and room clerks, presided
over cigar counters, news stands and
tea tables. About the only things they
didn't operate were the elevators, the
kitchen and the vacuum cleaners.
They soon educated all of the guests
into the spirit of the day.' Newspapers
sold at a dollar ana more and dinner
tips ranged as high as $75. Pretty
girls .-posed as bell hops and many a
man had himself paged just to hear
how sweet his name could sound; The
lobby was filled with "debs" selling
all manner of articles. Guests were
persuaded they needed things they
never had bought before and probably
never will again.
Arthur Middleton Cordially
Received in Concert.
Bass-Baritone Blessed Witk Voice
That Is Skillfully Placed and
. Trained and Distinct In Diction.
BT JOSEPH MACQUEEiN. I
ABOVT as perfect as a singer can
be and blessed with a fine bass
baritone voice that is skillfully placed
and trained and with a distinctness
in diction that is a joy and a rest to
hear, Arthur Middleton, bass-baritone
of the Metropolitan Opera company,
New York, appeared in concert last
night, in the public auditorium, undiar
the auspices of the Elwyn concert bu
reau. He was cordially received by a
friendly audience.
It seemed to the audience that Mr.
Middleton never sang better in this
city. There were the same graceful
style of singing, the big, noble voice
and the strong masculine' style in
phrasing. Imagine then the surprise of
Mr. Middleton's listeners when in con
cluding the second last group of songs
on his programme he said he would
gladly sing extra songs as requested,
if he were not then suffering from
laryngitis. The audience would not
have been aware of this vocal trouble
if Mr. Middleton had not mentioned
it so splendid was his singing.
Oratorio gems were chosen by Mr.
Middleton to begin his programme,
the loved recitative and aria leading
into "Hear Me Ye Winds and Waves"
(Handel). This number was sung with
a reverence and suppressed awesome
feeling that struck home. The pure
legato of "Where'er You Walk" was
so cool, so refreshing that it will live
in remembrance. "Three Fisher3 Went
Sailing" (Hullah) had the note of Im
pending tragedy sharply and power
fully accentuated and the message
gripped.
One of the greatest eongs in all the
world and known practically to all
singers and students, "Lungi dal caro
bene" (Seechi) was grandly sung and
headed Mr. Middleton's Italian group
of son 3. His .extra, qona; in, reply to
calls for an encore was "Ma Little'
Banjo," written by Dlchmont of Van
couver, B. C. It was delicately and
finely rendered.
Stewart Wille, pianist, of New York,
who is a- talented accompanist, at this
period of the concert played two piano
solos quiet, well-played numbers. His
extra piano number was "Song From
the East" (Cyril Scott).
It was theij that Mr. Middleton
showed courage by singing four
classical German songs, . in German
songs composed respectively by Her
mann, Hollaender, Rubinstein and
Kaun, and all four eongs were finely
and impressively sung. The audience
greeted rendition of these songs with
warm applause and asked for more,
but Mr. Middleton bowed his thanka.
"The Bellman" (Forsythe) and "Syl
via"; '(Speaks) are decidedly worth
while. "Mah Lindy Loo" had a quiet
laugh and a swing all its own, and
"Danny Deever" (Damrosch) was stir
ringly .sung. An interpolated number,
"Largo" from "Barber of Seville" was
sung with a rapidity and comicality
that made a great hit.

MORE INSPECTORS ASKED
RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED BY
BUILDING ASSOCIATION.
Necessity Pointed Out to Expedite
Construction Under Way in
Communication to Mayor.
A resolution urging Mayor Baker
and the city council to have addi
tional building inspectors appointed
to expedite the inspection of work
under construction was, adopted at a
meeting of the Association of Build
ing and Construction last night.
' H. E. Plummer, city building in
spector, spoke in favor of a better in
spection service, but pointed out that
the force of inspectors hadi been, re
duced by the state tax supervising
and conservation commission. He as
sured members of the association that
the city council realized the emer
gency and necessity for more ini
spectors. The problem, he said, was
to provid funds with which to pay
additional employes!.
A C. Spencer, member of the state
bonus commission, outlined various
phases of the bonus and loan law for
ex-service men, with particular ref
erence to the large building pro
gramme. He invited the co-operation
of building interests and mentioned
the services already rendered by the
small house bureau of the Oregon
chapter of the American Institute of
Architects. These architects have
drawn up plans for 2S0 types of small
houses, he said. The plans will be
furnished at a nominal cost and will
enable ex-service men to obtain well-
designed homes planned by trained
architects.
