QUITE the daintiest and frilliest
tilings one could Imagine are the
dinner and theater gowns seen at
the high-class playhouwos and in the
popular grills downtown these evenings.
Many of the smart frocks come straight
from New York, having been carefully
treasured in compartment trunks across
the intervening thousands of -miles, but
others, no less chic and dainty, and quite
as Parisian in cut and detail, come from
the hands of local modistes- or from tha
shops of exclusive importers.
While a wide latitude Is given in the
new styles for evening gowns, the prin
cess and modified empire lines are still
the most in vogutj, and several pro
nounced features (such as the extremely
high collar, running upward from chin
height at the front to a point well up to
the coiffure at the back, and the pointed
termination of the sleeves running out
over the back of the hand almost to tha
fingers, mark the newest and smartest.
And, again, while the delicate tones,
such as shell pink and robn's-egg blue,
prevail In the daintiest and richest ef
fects, the almost bizarre cerise, which
haa recently invaded the whole Parisian
wardrobe, is frequently seen, although
In most instances it is toned down by
combination with soft cream, white or
corn-colored materials. Cerise still plays
a prominent imrt in the dainty little
frilled and plumed evening bonnets, too,
and the predictions are that tt will ba
fashionable for a long season to come.
A few effective gowns, just arrived
from New York, are shown in the ac
companying pictures.
The front and back effects of an ex
tremely modish creation in pale blue are
shown in No. 1 and No. 6. The material
Is of the softest novelty satin, witff raised
roses of silk embicidery, and rosettes of
tine Valenciennes are employed in the
trimming, notably on the empire stream
ers that fall from above the waist line
In the 'back. The yoke and collar are of
pattern lace, delicately transparent, and
the yoke is joined to the surpliced front
with tha rosettes of lace; a full shirring
of soft cream chiffon is Joined to the
yoke at the front and it is over this that
the surplice folds across. The surplice
effect is carried out at the back, but on
the empire lines, and the belt, which
runs' high In the back, Is of tiny folds.
The skirt piece is cut on the circular
pattern and flares prettily.
No. 2 and No. 3 show an extremely
dainty little gown of white lace and pink
nun's veiling, front and back views. For
a graceful, well-rounded figure nothing
could be more attractive than the sim
ple, close-fitting lines of this gown. The
yoke and girdle are fashioned of row
upon row of tine Valenciennes inserting
and rich lace medallions are used over
this transparent mesh for further effect;
the medallions are also employed In the
elaborate trimmings of the sleeves and
collar ,and upon the loose folds of the
bodice, which are slashed and filled with
Valenciennes. Large medallions are used
at the elbow point of the cuffs on the
short sleeves also. The skirt piece is
plaited according to the mode, and is
finished with horizontal rows of the Val
enciennes, above folds of the material.
A striking little frock is that shown in
No. 5. This Is of cerise-colored silk,
with the daintiest of tucked and em
broidered chiffoiv sleeves and yoke. The
fine silk braid, overlaying the chiffon
gimp, and the velvet band finishings of
the sleeves are of cerise, the effect of
the combined tones being very dainty
and fetching.
One of the new patterns In opera coats
Is shown In No. 4. The coat is cut In one

Endeavors to Grt Names of Injured
From Wrecking Gang, Which
Greets Him With Laugh.
An amusing incident happened the day
the old corner building was removed
from the site where the Meier & Frank
Co.. building is to be erected, at Sixth
and Alder streets.
The old frame fell with a loud crash
when the donkey . engine tightened the
wire cable that was passed under the
raves. At the time, a man with a wooden
leg was standing with his back toward the
scene, in front of the Alder-street en
trance or The Oregonlan building. When
the crash came the man turned and
rushed as rapidly as he could to the col
lapsvd building, taking from his pocket on
the way a pad of paper and a lead pencil.
Arriving on tha sidewalk alongside the
mass of ruins, from which rose a cloud
of dense dust, with workmen grouped
about ready to attack the debris, the man
with a pad and pencil exclaimed, ex
citedly: 'Isn't this horrible? Was anybody In
side oh, there must have been. Can
any of you fellows give me the names of
the occupants? How did It happen? Why
don't you get In there and rescue the
Injured? My. my; this Is terrible!"
"What's eathv your1 Inquired a work
man. 'Why, this building collapsed, didn't
It?"
"Well, I must say It has that appear
ance." replied the workman: "I guess
you would too. If you had a donkey en
gine pullin" at you with a rope."
"Bud" Holland, for It was no other,
took a hurried glance at the surround
ings, muttered something under his
breath and hobbled away, amid the
laughs of the bystanders.
Holland Is a newspaper man from
Marshfield and when he saw the tumbling
house and realized that it was located
In the heart of Portland, his news sense
prompted him to hurry to the scene of the
"disaster" and gather the facts for his
home paper.
JEWS NOT EARNEST RACE
Israel Zangwill Again Harshly Crit
icises His Own People.
LONDON. July 11. (Special.) Israel
Zangwill, who made himself very unpop
ular with the orthodox members of his
own race in England by his too outspoken
criticism of their lack of energy and ear
nestness has made matters worse by
drawing an unfavorable comparison be
tween the Jews and the suffragettes, of
whom he Is a warm admirer.
"The Jewish people could take a les
son from the suffragist party," he says,
"but the trouble with most of them Is
that they are not earnest. In spite of all
they say they do not really care about
their nationality or even their religion,
for if they did their problems would be
solved with as much comparative ease as
the women's suffrage question is being
solved now.
"With very few exceptions there is no
really deadly earnest or determination
in the Jewish people to achieve anything
whatever, and without this deadly deter
mination, which includes the readiness to
die for a cause, nothing will ever be
achieved by the Jewish people as a whole.
This is the real feeling that Is uncon
sciously behind the manifestations of
anti-Semitism which to that extent are
deserved. The Jews have not won tlie
respect of the world.
"A successful Jewish state, or an ear
nest attempt to realize the Jewish reli
gious mission In the lands of the disper
sion Is the only thing that will redeem
our people."

PROFESSOR FTNXEY PROMISES
INTERESTING REPORT.
Would Make Lake National Reserve
Larp;e Numbers of Swans
: Killed There Yearly.
BURNS, Or., July 11. (Special.)
Professor Klnley, of the Audubon Club,
and Mr. Bohlman have been sojourning
around Malheur Lake, 25 miles south
of Burns, and In the Stein Mountains
during the past several weeks studying1
the bird life of this region, and have
found a most interesting field. There
are few parts of the world in which are
so many varieties of birds, especially
of the aquatic families, and in such
great numbers, as in Harney County.
Malheur Lake is a particularly favor
able place for them, immense colonies
nesting there every year. This lake
Is for the most part a great swamp,
supporting a heavy growth of tules,
and these are fairly alive with all kinds
of water fowl.
Mr. Finley will make an effort to
have Malheur Lake created a Govern
ment reserve for the preservation of it
as a nesting: ground, otherwise the dan
ger is that as the country settles up
the numerous hunters will drive the
birds away. There has been wanton
slaughter of swans for their feathers
and various other birds for their plum
age, no attempt ever having been made
to enforce any, of the game laws in
this county.
Mr. Finley will give the result of his
researches to the public in a short time,
and the people of Oregon will be sur
prised to know of the wonderful game
resources which are here.

MARS FAMOUS CATHEDRAL
Stone of Famous Church at Cologne
Crumbling Away.
BB3RLJK, July 11. (Special.) A few
days ago a special commission of archi
tects was sent to Cologne to examine the
condition of the famous cathedral of that
city, which It was feared was crumbling.
The commission has now issued a pre
liminary report which confirms the worst
fears of the people of Cologne. There
Is, however, not the slightest evidence
that the structure Itself Is In any danger
or that Its foundations have given way.
The cathedral will stand for centuries
to come but the beautiful works of sculp
ture with which- it Is decorated are crum
bling Into dust and probably cannot be
saved although the citizens of Cologne
are ready to spend millions on repairs
and to pay a fortune to anyone who can
Invent a process to harden the soft
brownstone.
Plans to Save Chicago Babies.
CHICAGO, July 11. To save babies'
lives, the City Council of Chicago made
a special appropriation of $10,000 last
night. Intestinal diseases among in
fants, caused chiefly by the hot weath
er, have been of such frequent occur
rence In Chicago that, according to
relative figures, the deaths of babies
due to these complaints this year will
reach the startling total of 31,414.

BULLETIN NO. 7 PART 2
More About Accidents and Their By-Product,
The Ambulance Chaser
Familiarity with rapid transit breeds carelessness. The average
man Is more or less forgetful, and children are notoriously so. Drivers
will cross tracks from intersecting streets without giving a thought to
the possibility of an approaching car. Frequently a pedestrian will
cross one track when his vision of the other Is obstructed. If it so
happens that there is an oncoming car, the usual consequence is a dis
tressing and sometimes a fatal accident, which the motorman could by
no possibility have avoided.
THE COMPANY'S POLICY
Our motormen and conductors are required to make a contempora
neous report of all accidents, giving full details and the names of all
witnesses who will permit their names to be used. These witnesses
are forthwith interviewed for the purpose of verifying the report, and
thereafter an effort la made to effect a prompt and fair settlement with
the claimant, not only where the company Is clearly responsible, but
also where the facts show a reasonable doubt about the company's re
sponsibility. All cases are settled out of court except where, after care
ful Investigation, we believe: (1) That the claim Is a manufactured one;
(2) or that the Injury was due to gross carelessness on the side of the
claimant; (3) or that the claimant is demanding excessive damages.
HOW THIS POLICY WORKS
Statistics show that in more than half the cases tried the plaintiffs
get nothing from the Jury and In a large proportion of the verdicts for
the plaintiff, the amount recovered Is less than the sum which could
have been gotten without litigation. In addition the plaintiff must di
vide with his lawyer and the lawyer's "runner" and "medical expert."
In the year 1907. only 12 cases reached the court. Of these, five
resulted in a verdict for the defendant; four were settled before trial
began; and In three liability was admitted, and the damage was assessed
by the Judge..
THE EVIL DISCLOSED BY THESE STATISTICS.
No claimant can ba Justly criticised for consulting a lawyer If the
company declines to pay his demands; and It may happen sometimes
that the lawyer will be misled by his client as to the facts. But when
you consider that In 21 out of 26 damage cases (covering In part the
damage cases of this company) called for trial during the last year, the
plaintiffs did not recover 1 cent for damages aggregating thousands
of dollars, is it too much to say that most of these cases were merely
so many attempts to levy blackmail? Moreover, great Is the danger
that the temptation to bear false witness will prove Irresistible, when
it Is considered that' many, if not most, of the cases are solicited by
"runners," nursed by "medical experts" and tried by lawyers all of
whom depend upon the verdict for their pay.
HOW THE PUBLIC CAN HELP THE SITUATION.
There are many ways in which the people Interested In securing a
square deal for good service can help the company:
(1) When you witness an accident, let us know whose the fault was.
This does not mean that you will be making trouble for the
conductor or the motorman, because allowances are made for
mistakes. Moreover, you or some member of your family may be
the victim of the next mistake, and It Is to the interest
of all concerned that carelessness should be noted and checked.
(2) When the car you are about to take is crowded, wait for the next
one. If you can do so without Inconvenience; you will generally find a
half-filled or empty car Just behind. ($) It is your right to have the
car come to a full stop before you get on or off; do not attempt to board
or alight from a moving ear unless you are willing to assume the risk.
(4) Remember that riding on the back platform or on the running-board
is not safe. (5) Never cross a track when your vision of a car or wagon
that may be coming in the opposite direction is obstructed. (6) Teach
the little children that the car track is a danger signal. (7) Help us
In our fight against blackmail by giving us promptly (whether for or
against us) your account of any accident which you may have wit
nessed; and remember that we gladly receive at all times criticisms
and suggestions for the safety of the public and the betterment of the
service.
