John H. Hamilton.

Ten-Piece Band Begins Service.
Details or Settlement Are
Kept Secret by
Both Sides.
Patron of Portland's 'playhrijsi are not
to b denied the enjoyment of orchestral
music. At a conference Friday be
tween representatives of the musicians and
the theatrical managers all differences
were adjusted and the demand of the
musicians for an Increased wage sched
ule for players at the Orpheum was com
promised on a basis satisfactory to both
sides. As a result of the settlement. Man
ager C. X. Sutton, of the Orpheum. im
mediately contracted the services of a
10-piece orchestra, which made its ini
tial appearance at last night's perform
ance. Neither George I- Baker, president of
the Theatrical Managers" Association,
nor the officers of the Musicians' Union,
would discuss the result of the meeting
or the schedule of prices that was agreed
on for players In the Orpheum orchestra.
"The differences have been adjusted to
the satisfaction of the musicians and the
theatrical managers." was all Mr. Bker
had to say. while the representatives of
the musicians were even more reticent.
The conference had nothing to do with
the wages paid orchestras at the other
vaudeville houses in the city, where the
prevailing; schedule of J27 for individual
members and $35 a week for leaders will
continue. At the Orpheum the musicians
demanded 135 for Individual players and
$45 for leaders. Just what schedule was
agreed- on for the Orpheum could not be
learned, but the indisposition of either
side to the ' controversy to discuss the
subject leaves the Inference that conces
sions were made both by the musicians
and the theatrical managers.
It was reported last night that In
settling with the managers the
musicians scored a victory and gained
practically all they asked. It wa
rumored the players at the Orpheum
will receive on an average $7 a week
more than Is paid at the other
theaters.
George E. Jeffrey, of San Francisco,
who came to Portland with the Or
pheum management, will be the direc
tor of the 10-piece orchestra which
was organized yesterday afternoon and
played for the first time last night.
Director Jeffrey. formerly was with the
old TlToli orchestra In San Francisco
and more recently conducted the Jdora
Park Opera Company at Oakland, Cal.
The other nine members of the Or
pheum orchestra and the instruments
.they play are: Flute. Wilbur; clarinet.
Rice; cornet, Livingston; trombone,
Tait: drums. Purocher; organ, Rose

this morning that , it has discovered
that Izzet asha, ex-secretary of

Izzet Pasha fled from Constantinople

whose confirmation of the disaffection In
the corps he distrusted, but the situation
was such that delay was dangerous and
therefore the council of ministers ad
vised the Sultan to grant a constitution
in preference to risking civil war by
sending troops to suppress the alleged
mutiny.
The Sultan willingly agreed, as he al
ways had. as likewise had Izzet Pasha,
been In favor of parliamentary govern

wished to retire, but had waited for the
completion of his favorite project the
Mecca Railway. The Immediate reason
for his departure from Constantinople,
according to the interview, was that the

WOODEN LEG HIS SPOON
Crippled Tramp Stirs Lemonade and
Is Arrested.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. That a wood
en leg "is not a fit and proper Instru
ment with which to stir a bowl of
lemonade Is the opinion of Nathan
Wagner, a restaurant-keeper of 215
Park row. Wagner was dozing in his
restaurant on Tuesday night, when a
breathless ragamuffin rushed In from
the street.
."Say, mister," he cried, "dere's a guy
outside wat's put his leg in yer lem
onade!" Now. In front of Wagner's place Is
a Ftand on which he had placed a
large glass bowl of lemonade, to be
sold at the rate of a cent a glass. Mr.
Wsgner thfrefore was quick to get to.
the sidewalk. To his astonishment he
saw a one-legged man leaning against
the bench and slowly stirring the lem
onade with a wooden leg, which he
had unstrapped from its stump.
"Stop that:" yelled Wagner. .
The man looked surprised, lifted the
leg from the bowl and then deliberate
ly struck the glass a whack that shiv
ered it.
"Help!" cried Wagner just as Police
man Williams, of the Oak street sta
tion, came along, and the policeman
placed under arrest the man who had
swung the leg. When the man was
arraigned In the Tombs Police Court
he was minus his leg. He gave his
name as James Harmon and said that
he had 110 home.
"Why did you break the bowl?" In
quired Magistrate Kernochan.
"I didn't, your Honor." Harmon re
plied, "lou can sec for yourself that
I couldn't have done it. I have no
wooden ieg." '
"Indeed," said AVagner, wrathfully,
"and why? Because I grabbed that
leg out of your hand and threw it Into
the street and a dago picked It up and
put It in a bag and ran down a side
street." .
"Well." said the magistrate, "while
the police are looking ror your leg, you
can rest safely on the Island. Six
months."

VERMDNTTQBEBARQMETER
STATE ELECTION REGARDED AS
IMPORTANT 1SDEX.
Fight Is Made on Xational Issues
and Republicans Expect In
creased Majority.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 19. Special effort is be
ing put forth by the managers of the
republican campaign to roll up a tre
mendous majority In the Vermont el
ection, which will be held on the 1st
of September. There Is no doubt that
Vermont will go Republican; It always
does; but the Taft managers believe
that an unusually heavy republican
vote In Vermont tiiis Fall will be the
best sort of an opening gun for the
National campaign, and moreover serve
as an Indication of the trend of public
sentiment. If Vermont's Republican
majority Is larger than usual, it will
be reasonable to conclude that Repub
lican policies are growing in popu
larity, for the state campaign in the
Green Mountain State will be fought
largely on National issues this year.
Ordinarily the Republican leaders In
a presidential year look to Oregon to
fire the opening gun of the campaign,
because Oregon's election Is held In
June. But Oregon's politics has taken
a decidedly freakish turn, due to the
enactment of a primary law peculiar
to itself and its framers, and for that
reason Oregon's recent vote has been
discarded as absolutely valueless. The
results were too Conflicting and the
Issues were purely local. As a matter
of fact National Republican leaders are
heartily sick of the political muss in
Oregon, and do not care to even have
It mentioned.
A strong list of campaigners will vis
It Vermont between now and election
day. including Governor Hughes of
New York, and two members of Pres
ident RoosevHt's cabinet,. Secretaries
Wilson and Straus. Other National
figures will also take the stump, and
dtecuss solely the Issues underlying the
National campaign. This will add sig
nificance to the result.
What is being done in Vermont will
be repeated in Maine, where the state
election follows closely upon that In the
mountain state adjoining. Chairman
Hitchcock was instrumental in secur
ing aid for the Vermont campaign
managers, and he expects a large Re
publican majority as a result - of the
effective work done.

MEETS DEATH IN DITCH
Ignoble End of One of Dewey's
Brave Gunners.
Omaha (Neb.) Examiner.
Down at Kansas City a few days
since James O'Ccnnell was shocked to
death by electricity while lying on his
back under a manhole In a subway,
a death such as fate would mete out to
a hobo without hope or ambition.
Tet the James O'Connell who died
thus miserably in a burrow was chief
gunner on the proud Olympla, Admiral
Dewey's glorious flagship, when It
rode into Manila Bay that memorable
Mny day and led in the demolition of
the Spanish fleet without the loss of a
single member of Its own crews.

Possibly It was this same man who.
when the gallant Admiral's quiet re
mark. "You may fire, Grldley, when
you're ready," was uttered, fired the
first shot that signalled the humilia
tion of a nation of almost world-old
pride and power.
How much kinder it would have been
of fate if it had allowed James O'Con

for his ship, his navy and his country.
How Ms name and memory would have

Perhaps he doesn't care, but those
who live after him must feel the

dared death when It was garbed in
glory, through patriotism and valor,
may not in the end be stricken own

which it goes forth to hunt the con

Take Advantage or Factional Differ
ences In Republican Party.
Would Disenfranchise Negroes.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 17. Unless Republican fac
tional differences In West Virginian are
adjusted before election, serious conse
quences may result. Not only is the state
likely to cast Its vote for Bryan, but the
Democrats, once they regain control, may
be able to control the Congressional dele
gation, and eliminate Senator Elklna and
Scott. Trouble has been brewing among
West Virginia Republicans for a number
of years, and the two Senators have
managed to keep their faction in control.
But their selfishness, and their disregard
of the wishes of the other faction, have
been adding fuel to the flames until a
scrap of large proportions has been d-
veloped, and much bitterness has been
engendered.
While the Republicans are fighting It
out among themselves, and imploring the
aid of the National Republican organisa
tion, the Democrats are saying nothing,
but it has long been known that the
Democratic leaders, once they gain con
trol of the state. Intend to disfranchise
the negroes, who constitute a large per
centage of the Republican voters, and
once this Is done It will take a miracle
to restore the Republicans to power. It
has been charged openly that this Is the
purpose of the Democrats, but of course
the charge has been denied, and will be
until after election.
It Is reasonably certain that If west
Virginia goes Democratic in November,
and the Democrats control the Legisla
ture, the state will rejoin the Solid
South, and In 1911 and 1913. respectively.
Senators Scott and Elkins will be turned
out of office. A negro disfranchisement
law In West Virginia would make the
state as solidly Democratic as Alabama
or Georgia. Because of this one fact,
the National leaders may take a hand In
trying to bring about harmony., but even
with their aid the outcome is uncertain.
