Yesterday they were conducted over
Portland by local traffic men and J. P.
O'Brien, general manager. They were
Interested particularly In the colliding
artivlties here. Mr. Spence declaring
that he never has visited a city 'n
which so many substantial structures
were In course of erection at the same
time. Some time was spent in the
terminal district and along "implement
row." bordering on the Southern Pa
cific tracks on the Kast Side.
"From all I have learned on my pres
ent trip." declared Mr. Spenee. "I be
lieve both grain and fruit will produce
better than average crops this year.
The fruit outlook especially is encour
aging. "We always are Interested In North
west conditions, as this territory grad
ually is becoming one of the heaviest
producers of traffic on the system. At
this time of the year we aim to check
up crop conditions, so that we call
gauge the traffic movement for tne
season.
"In addition to the products of the
orchards and fields, we are - expecting
heavy traffic In fish and lumber out of
the Northwest. Every Indication that
I have observed on my pefsent trip
points to continued prosperity for this
region."
Mr. Spenee added that financial con
ditions at the time he left his office In
Chicago were not highly encouraging,
although he predicted better times be
fore the end of the year. Money Is
plentiful, he commented, but there
seems to be some hesitancy about in
vestments. With the Standard Oil case disposed
of by the Supreme Court, investors will
feel less uneasiness. Before the court's
finding was announced the commercial
world lived in suspense, although the
nature of the decision was generally
anticipated.

thing to be deduced from the princi

of an aerodrome.

Paris to Madrid Is Next.
The first. In date and possibly also in
difficulty. Is that organized by the
Petit Parislen from Paris to Madrid,
starting May 21. The Journey has
been divided Into three stages:
Paris to Angouleme, Angoulcme to
St. Sebastian and St. Sebastian to Mad
rid.
The first and second er.tgef seem
quite easy. The real danger lies in
the third stage, from St. Sebastian to
Madrid.
Aviators have to pass, according to
the rules issued by the organizers, for
a distance of 60 or 80 kilometers over
mountains nearly 4000 feet high.
This race la endowed by the Petit
Parislen with a prize of t:000 to the
winner. In addition, the Spanish Aero
Club gives jinxes of 110.000.
Aerial Stars Entered.
Twenty machines have been'entered.
the star flyer and prime favorite being

speed from Pau to Paris last month.
Among the other competitors are Bob

Pierre Barrlllon. Frank Barra, Le Las-
seur de Ransay. Amerigo and Train.
The second big event is the Paris to
Rome and Turin flight, scheduled for
May 28. The prizes will total $100,000.
June will see the European circuit
race from Paris to London and return.
The flight will be begun on June 4, and
occupy probably two weeks. The

ROM out of the gloom of tlie North-
and somewhere came a bunch of
near-actors, headed by Paul GUmore,
and settled at the Heilig Theater yes
terday for two performances. The first
one butchered was that dear pretty
comedy by the late Clyde Fitch. "The
Bachelor." Then last evening- they per
petrated a mushy, maudlin melodrama
that once was known as "The Mummy
nnd the Humming-bird."
A company of stars couldn't hare
achieved any results with this ancient
bit of stage architecture, so what on
earth could we expect from one made
up of barnstormers whose talents
barely fit them for minor parts in
"ten-twenf-thlrf " shows?
They made a sadder recital of it than
they knew. There Is positively nothing
more really tragic than laughter and
tears at the wrong places. That part
of the audience that remained, after
whole parties began to troop out
should be awarded medala for bravery.
Just where the big fault is would be
sn Augeun task to discover. Paul GU
more. whn he ued to come playing
amongst us with his college plays, par
ticularly In his "Boys of Company B,"
had a fair following. It surely must
be ttsst. like other actors who Insist
on being their own managers and
atarrlng at the head of an Inferior
company, the conscience of the gentle
men is In Wis money box. Kven so,
there is absolutely no excuw for such
tawdry stage productions In Portland,
Kveryone wno went wished he'd gone
instead to a good moving-picture show.

In an open letter addressed to Adju
tant-General Flnxer yesterday, George
8. Shepherd, who was removed from
the position of Captain of the Oregon
Naval Reserve by General Flnxer, de
clared that tha court of inquiry, con
sisting of Colonel Sam White, Lieutenant-Commander
Capron and Captain
Bowman, which returned the findings
which resulted In his discharge, was
Incompetent to act for the reason that
Its members were of Inferior rank to
himself and Commander McMilty and
ljeutenant-Commander John F. B)ain
who were also removed: that the court
had no right to Include criticism or
Commander MeNulty In Its findings, as
it was not convened to consider his ac
tions; and that Adjutant-General rin
xer acted contrary to law In discharg
ing commissioned officers from ser
vice, and that the Inquiry should have
been conducted under the Navy and not
the Army regulations.

VITERBO. Italy. May 20. Ex
Premler Baron Sonnino and Signors
Salandrla, Ricclo and Chinlentl, all
former Cabinet ministers, were pres
ent at today's sitting of the Camorra
trial when the Interrogation of Tomasso
de Angells continued.
Dr. Angells with Gaetano Amadeo,
both of whom are crown witnesses. Is
charged by Giacamo Ascrittore with
being one of the actual murderers of
Cuocollo, for which crime the Caraor
rists are now on trial, and it is alleged
by Ascrittore that a wound which De
Angells had on his leg was received
during his fight with Cuoccolo.
De Angells by his testimony at
tempted to demonstrate that while
fishing in the sea at Utica some years
ago he slipped and hurt his leg.
Following the examination of De-
Angells, Amadeo was interrogated. He
said he knew De Angells wnue tney
were in prison. Amadeo admitted he
had committed many thefts, but be
came reluctant when questioned about
several burglaries for which he still
nan be tried.
During a previous examination
Amadeo tried to establish an alibi by
saying he went to Acerra. seven miles
from Naples, on the morning of the
Cuoccolo murder to obtain a position
as coachman. His employer, however,
has said Amadeo reached Acerra two
days after the crime. Amadeo was
forced to admit he was mistaken as
to the date.
He maintained that the wound on
his wrist, which was bandaged at the
time of the Cuoccolo murder and which
Ascrittore asserts was received in the
fight, was the result of an accident
several months before the crime.
Among the objects found by the
police in the home of Amadeo was a
burglar's outfit, the presence of which
he could not explain. This fact
brought forth an exclamation from
Corrado Sortino, one of the alleged
actual Cuoccolo murders:
'That brings to my mind a signifi
cant clew to the perpetrator of th
crime. Amadeo wore a black tie like
that found on the . bed of Cuoccolo's
wife."
