GREAT TRAVELER AND GENIAL
THEATRICAL MAN IN PORTLAND
I BRtx known all overthe world

terday, lie Jocularly announced that
he could settle the Cook-Peary con
troversy tn a minute, announcing: his
own claim to the Polar discovery and
producing the accompanying; picture to
prove it. However that may be, there
is no doabt that he has made seven
tours around the world, visiting Aus
tralia 14 times, not overlooking the
intermediate Islands between the great
i-o ir. tries; has crossed the . Atlantic
Ocean 100 times, making 50 round trips,
and is unquestionably the must exten
sively traveled man living.
A remarkable fact in connection with
the various tours made by "Tours Mer

stellar attractions. His first theatri

gen, and Baker ami Farron. Then
came Mary Anderson, to whom he Brave
the title which made her known all
over the wot id as "Our Mary." Fol
lowing her Minnie Palmer came on the
scene, who was tourt-d again around
tlie world In his famous play entitled
"My Sweetheart." Then came Wilson
Harrett around the globe twice, fol
lowed by the Koyal Italian opera com

eral Coast towns prior to her return
home. When Manager Russell, of the

balls without a miss. The balls were
thrown In the air at a distance of 15
feet from him and were 2 Inches in
diameter. Captain Hardy has also hit Wo
balls' In 85 seconds. Some of the feats
Captain Hardy performs seem Incredible.
Wkh a revolver in each hand he is able
to hit two objects placed ten feet apart
and SO feet from him, one swinging and
the other stationary, shooting both re
volvers simultaneously. He then cuts a
card edgewise and hits iron washers
thrown Into the air. With an ordinary
pump gun he hits fiv blue rock targets
thrown Into thair by himself before
they reach the ground. With an ordi
nary .22 rifle he hits two marbles, ejects
a cartridge from the rifle and with the
following shot hits It. This Is perhaps
the most difficult shot performed Dy any
expert. He Is also able to shoot on plain
cardboard a perfect profile of anyone
his audience may suggest, using no out
line whatever. It 1 expected that a
large crowd will see the captain shoot
today.

MURDER TRIAL HIS THEME
Rev. C. C. McPherson, Juryman In
Collins Case, to Preach.
Rev. Charles C. McPherson. pastor of
the Kpworth Methodist Episcopal Church,
was a Juryman in the recent trial of Mrs.
Kate Van Winkle Collins, accused of the
murder of her husband. Mr. McPherson
has decided to give a sermon with the
murder trial as his subject. He will
preach at 7:30 o'clock this evening on the
theme. "Great Exploits."
The clergyman plans to tell the story of
the murder trial and show that one of the
"Great Exploits" was the saving of a
woman. He will tell in detail the many
incidents occurring during the trial, the
arguments which were brought forth in
the Jury-room, and Just how it was that
the verdict was returned freeing Mrs.
Collins and declaring her "not guilty on
account of insanity." Mr. McPherson
was one of the two Jurors of the original
12 retained by both the prosecution and
the defense.
HARDY IS A' CRACK SHOT
Kxbibition of Mis Marksmanship to
Be Given Today.
Years ago, when many of our Coast
cities were nothing more than trading
posts, there were many crack shots to be
found in the Wewt. To be able to shoot
quickly and hit the mark was perhaps
one s greatest achievement, for in those
days revolvers were carried as a part of
one's paraphernalia. It is true, how
ever, that mat.y so-called crack shots
won their reputation by killing a man
across a poker table. Such people would
not attract passing attendtlon if com
pared with men who have actually won
their fame by their dexterity.
Captain A. H. Hardy, who Is one of
the greatest shots living with revolver,
shotgun and rifle, has won his fame
Justly to. and today at the Portland Re
volver Club range at 2 P. M.. he will
give a fr,- exhibition of his skill. Cap
tain Hardy has .hot a rifle since he was
a small boy and has given exhibitions
In most all of the large cities of the
United Stales.

THE students of the Lincoln High
School swarmed to the Multnomah
Field Friday afternoon, only to see their
team defeated by the Columbia team in
the initial game of the interscholastic
series. ' Considering the circumstances,
the score of 3-0 does not discourage the
supporters of the cardinal. With the
loss of Patterson and Vosper last week
Coach Smith was confronted with the
task of readjusting his forces. Though
not entirely successful, he has produced
an almost Impenetrable line, accurate
tackling, good interference, speed and
punting. The weak spot lies in the
handling of the ball.
The student body turned out in good
numtwrs. The rooters' section was weil
led by James Bain and his assistant,
Ralph Wlthycombe. A feature of the
event was the presence of the Interschol
as'.lc league band. Everett Hughes, the
enthusiastic manager of last year's or
chestra, has enlisted the support of his
kindred spirits in the Washington and
Lincoln high schools to furnish music
for the leagtie games. The members
meet Tuesday evenings. They are for
tunate In having for a leader C. Loney,
who formerly had charge of the cadet
band In the Broadway High School, of
Seattle. The remaining personnel of the
band 1b: Clarinets, Bailey, Harkson. Mar
eton. Snnffer and Hunt; cornets. Perdue,
Parks, Kantz; trombones, Harkson, Ol
cott; bass drum. Whiteman; snare, Ol
sen; cymbals. Cooke.
Friday afternoon was their first appear
ance In public. They met with iC good
reception, both in their down-town pa
rade and at the ball field.
The good attendance and excellent root
ing at the game was somewhat due to a
football rally held Thursday afternoon
In the assembly hall. After short
speeches by Miss Grlebel and Mr. Bitt
ner. Tell Leader James Bain and his
assistant. Ralph Wlthycombe, drilled the
assembly in the "Oskl-waw-wow," "Give
'errtthe ax" and other yells to be used
In the morrow's game.
Thursday and Friday mornings M1ss
Rockwood, of the Public Library, made
her regular semi-annual talks to the
freshmen about how to use the library
facilities. The High School faculty ap
preciate ery much the efforts of the
library authorities to assist them. This
appreciation is seconded by the students
themselves, who flock to the library in
large numbers each afternoon after
school.
The societies adjourned their meetings
Friday afternoon, that the members
might attend the ball game.
Jefferson.
LAST Thursday' a committee of 16,
elected by the student body, chose
as the permanent colors of the Jefferson
High School, blue and gold. As these
were the temporary colors of the school
last term and as a number of the stu
dents already have pennants, the com
mittee thought that It would be best to
adopt these colors. The committee elected
to choose the colors consisted of Reginald
Smith, Blair Holcomb, Robert McMurry,
James Campion. Howard Eliot, Earl
Flegel, Sam Bullock. Ernst Maguis,
Helen Wastell. Bessie Kinzel, Ruth
Cooper. Florence Knapp, Doris Foster,
Marjorle Arnold. Genevieve Shaver.
The playing ability of the football team
has Increased steadily since the begin
ning of the season. This Improvement is
due to the hard work of the boys and to
the effective coaching of Principal Jen
kins and Professor Smith. In the game
with the Christian Brothers'- Business
College the team showed its coming
power, as both teams average about 136
pounds In weight. The way in which the
backs and ends found the holes, the
punting of Campion, and the playing of
McMurry at tackle, give promise of a
team that can hold Its own in the inter
scholastic league next year. '
Manager Hastings is trying to arrange
for games with the second teams of the
Washington High School, Lincoln High
School. Hill Military Academy and with
the first team of Gresham High School.

LONDON, Oct. 16. (Special.) Kttig
Manuel, of Portugal, is a pretty confident
young man. He Is going to be married
right enough next April, but he hasn't
yet "fixed it up" with the lady, who
ever she may be. One of the secretaries
to the Portuguese Kmbassy In London
states that it is not yet decided who Is
the bride-elect of King Manuel.
In accordance with the wisshes of the
nation and his ministers, the King de
cided to marry in April next, and on
September 22, the Cortes was prorogued
after voting not only the civil list for the
new queen, but the necessary money for
the King's Journey to England next
month.
The name' of the future Queen of Por

on the King's arrival, and not until then,
but the odds certainly seem on an Kns

already had a family of five children
when the baby arrived.
When their friends became suspicious
that the baby was missing, the parents
were questioned, and they were reduc

whereabouts, but upon close inquiries, It
appeared that the infant had been sent
to a minister and his wife in Hull, who
have no children of their own. The

the deal.
It is stated that the family do not
