'Little Johnny Jones." The six girls represent American girls trying to reform the Chinese, snd assist In slning the song "Op In Me Ansome." During the Summer run of the show at t! Illinois Theater. Oilcago. there was much dlscuyslon as to which girl pos-osfc-.l the the prettiest foot and ankle, and the management decided to hold a competition to settle the matter. Slips with a photographed reproduction of the cab number were printed and supplied to each seat purchaned. A ballot box was placed In the foyer to receive the votes. The contest was continued for two weeks, and the rivalry between the partisans of the various fair contestants became ex ceedingly keen. When the votes were counted Miss Ella Vslentme was found to have a lead of7o2 votes over her nearest competitor. Miss Bessie Gross. Not only did the voters deposit their ballots, but the manager of the theater was deluged with letters sliowing why the choice of the writer should be awarded the chief honor of the contest. The Interest In the contest extended to J-ondon. whence came a letter from an admirer of Miss Valentine.

POWELI CONCERT. IS PRAISED THB artfstio combination headed by Maud Powell to make Its appear ance in concert at the Heilig The ater Thanksgiving eve. November 36. In cludes not only Madame Powell, who Is hailed as the finest violinist this country has so far produced, but May Mukle, the celebrated cellist, and Anne Ford, a tal ented accompanist and piano soloist. No such trio of artists has been heard on the American concert platform, appear ing at one time, since the days of the Krekiler-Gerardy-Hoftmann combination. It is safe to predict that the Heilig will be well attended on the occasion of the Powell-Mukle-Ford recital. and that these distinguished artists will divide honors only with the high-class pro gramme they will ofTer. This interest ing musical event, one of the leaders in the season attractions, will fittingly usher in the spirit of Thanksgiving day. Maud Powell, violinist, was born in Peru. III. Her father was Welsh and his knowledge of music was limited to sing ing hymn tunes In sections as they were "lined out" In the old style from the pul piU" His daughter, however, was gifted with rare musical instinct, and she began taking violin lessons when she was 8 years old, her first teacher toeing William Ijewls. of Chicago. The girl's musical progress was rapid, and when she re turned from Europe she made her pre liminary debut a violin soloist at one of Theodore Thomas' Summer concerts, and made a ereat hit. She is a Joachim pu pil, and for years mha has been an Inter national favorite. May Mukle has also wton international renown as a great artist, and she may be said to have created a new field for the 'ueUo as a solo Instrument. Her 'cello tone Is described, as marvelous. It was only last January that this great 'cellist came to the United States, on the per sonal Invitation of Maud Powell, and is stated to have created a real sensation In Eastern cities, by her magnificent playing, n Anne Ford has a rare gift of dlscre- Mrs. W. E. Thomas Hears Famous Player In East. i In a private letter lately received from Mrs. W. E. Thomas from New Tork, mention Is made of several people of In terest to Portlanders. Mrs. Thomas says: "In Philadelphia I saw Amelia Gardner in "The Witching Hour," a fine play. I had a nice visit with her after the play and found her as charming as in the old Neill-Morosco days-not a bit spoiled by her success. She still has that same fas cinating . smile. Although I've been In New York but a short time, I've seen many of the old friends, including Miss Bauer, Mrs. Raymond Brown and Shanna Camming, who, by the way, is soon going West. Then I had the great pleasure of hear ing the New Tork debut of the Maud Powell Trio. Aside from the splendid work these three artists did, I enjoyed eeing Miss Powell's triumph.

I started to count the number of times Miss Poweircame back to acknowl edge the continued applause, but alter I reached the ninth recall I lost the count. Finally the manager of the the ater came on with her and Indicated by shaking his head, that she would not play again .(encores not being permitted). J was proud that I knew her and lost no time in getting behind the scenes to make myself known to her. .,. "Since then I've seen her many -times and have heard all about her Western tour. In which she is much interested. I do hope her tour will be a big success, and that Portland especially will not miss her opportunity." FAVORS COAST DEFENSES General Murray Wants Artillery Force Greatly Increased. WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Numerous recommendations for the improvement of the Coast artillery are made in the annual report of Brigadier-General Arthur Murray, chief of that branch of the United States Army. General Murray recommends that the Coast artillery be organized for com mand and administration as a separate territorial division of the Army; that It be Increased by throe Brigadier Generals of Coast artillery, to command as many territorial departments; that the chief of Coast artillery be made a Major-General, and that all annual estimates and all accounts ana ex penses be kept separate from those of the mobile Army. An urgent appeal is made for an Increase for the corps of cadets at West Point by authorizing additional cadets for each Senator and for appointment by the President, In order that the de mand for officers for the artillery may be met. To furnish one-half of the personnel required for one complete manning detail for the guns provided In the United States," the full number for the guns and mines, provided for the insular possessions, will require 1170 officers and 26,392 enlisted men. For the formation of militia Coast ar tillery reserves. General Murray states there will be required 2238 officers and 53,110 men, to provide one manning detail for all the Coast defenses: con structed and proposed in the United States, the insular possessions and the entrances to. the Panama Canal. The defenses of Manila Bay. Pearl Harbor and Honolulu, General Murray says. Involve strategical conditions of the highest order, and he lays special stress upon the Importance of early at tention to that work. Mikado Watches Troops Practice. TOKIO. Nov. ' 14.
