EY LEONE CASS BAEK.
WITH today'B matinee In "The
Deserters," the Baker Stock
Company opens into lull swing.
Alice Fleming, lively of person and
character, does not need an Introduc
tion. Her work on the Baker stage
has already made ot her a tremendous
farorlte with her public The nicest
thing left to say about Miss Fleming
Is that she Is. above all else, a mental
actress studying the psychology of
every role she portrays and digging
out for her own satisfaction the im
pulses and sequence of thought that
would prompt even the most trivial
word or action of the stage heroine.
After Miss Fleming has made her
bow. the next Introduction to be made
is Robert Conness. new leading man.
He Is a great big handsome chap of
the John Sainpolls type, with strong
features and keen blue-grey eyes. He
is a most untheatrlcal person, and talks
about anything or everything save his
own profession. This is the first time
he has been in Western stock, having
been identified always with Eastern
productions. He was last here with
Blanche Walsh in "The Woman in the
Case." the year of the earthquake.
Interesting information of a solely
local nature is that Mr. Conness is a
cousin of the O'Reilly brothers Drake
C. Harry and Richard; their mother.
Mrs. O'Reilly, and Mrs. Conness being
sisters. He is also a grand nephew
of the John Conness, Senator from
California who was in the White House
the night of Lincoln's assassination,
and who prevented California from se
ceding, from the Union.
Matiaec "Idol" Looms.
Baker Moore, the youthful Juvenile,
of aristocratic meln and a social favor
ite in every place he has played, prom
ises to have a matinee girl following
all his very own. He la quite distin
guished and clean-cut. in a boyish way.
and has all the high ideals and fresh
buoyancy of spirit of the disillusioned.
And he has a most interesting mystery
about him. ' His father is a high-up
Army officer. In charge of the forti
fications in the Philippines that's
easy enough to look up but Baker
Moore promised his parents he would
leave them clear out of his career. They
aren't crazy about the stage, you see
only as parts of- well-dressed audi
ence. Baker Moore isn't his real name.
He was at Annapolis six -months and
couldn't fit into .the life because he
didn't like it and his refusal to go
into the army was a keen disappoint
ment to his father. He has tried the
society butterfly thing too down at
Fort Monroe, where his father was sta
tioned for several years, and he liked
that only in spots.. These spots he says
he can get while he is acting. And he
prefers the stage. He was out here
once before in a - vaudeville sketch.
"Lincoln," at the Orpheum four years
ago. Well, up to date he is the best
looking Juvenile and the "likeliest"
George L. Baker ever brought us.
Robert Wayne was here last year
with Jeanne Towler in "The valte
Sister" and will be remembered by
Callfornlans or Portlanders who at
tend shows when they are visiting in
San Francisco or Los Angeles. Mr.
Wayne was with the Majestic and
Liberty stock companies, and has Just
now closed a season with the Davis
players in Pittsburg. John Sumner,
character man, has never appeared on
this coast He has fceen a member of
Elitche's Garden in Denver, the Baker
at Rochester, N. T., at Albany. Cleve
land and Memphis. Last season he
was in Salt Lake City. Elizabeth
Ross, or as she wag fondly dubbed
Betsy Ross by McKee Rankin and
Nance O'Neil, with whom she begun
her career is the second woman. Helen
Strickland, slender and quite English
in accent and dress, is character woman.
Miss Strickland has been In the East
for the major part of her career. She
Is the daughter of a famous English
actor, Edward Strickland, a manager
of theaters more than 60 years ago.
Ingenue Like MUal Hajos.
Alice Patek is a slender edition of
Mizzi Hajos. She is fluffy and blonde
and dainty just an ideal ingenue. And
she's so ambitious. Her mother, Mrs.
Alfred Patek, of Denver, came along
for a week or so, to see that the young
Miss Patek gets all comfortably set
tled here; then she's going home.
Charles Tule was last here with Max
Figman in stock at the Heillg. Mary
Edgett, whose name alone suggests
memories of her charm and beauty in
Cathrlne Countiss' support this season,
is another member of the new com
pany who promises to give a great
deal of happiness to her father's audi
ences this Winter. William Lloyd,
from Canadian stock companies, and
Claude Archer, the latter from Ye Lib
erty Theater in Oakland, and Stage
Manager William Bernard completes
the list of excellencies.
This week they present 'The Desert
ers." Next "The Call of the North,"
and then the comedy, "Seven Days."
Manager Baker has again- put into op
eration his old plan of bargain nights
on Monday, and will have three mat
inees each week, on Sundays, Wednes
days and Saturdays. Also he is going
to make each Wednesday matinee a
souvenir one and present silk pro
grammes containing the photographs
of various members of the company.

CALIFORNIA FAVORS ROOSEVELTISM;
TAFT MEN MAY VOTE FOR WILSON
Eudolpb. Spreckels Has Come Out in the Open as a Democratic Worker Joseph D. Grant May Have to Pay Pretty
Penny for Son's Release Garrett McEnerney Off to Europe,
SAN FRANCISCO, cal., sept. i.
(Special.) The California state
primaries held last Tuesday gave
a mighty good Indication of how blows
tha wind in this section of the country,
n.iifnmlo . I. admittedly in favor of
Rooseveltism and there is no question
but that a large vote will be ronea up
for Colonel "Teddy" next November.
In some of the fights, such as for
Representatives in Congress, personal
relations entered into the fight, so that
.jmitiuiiv oi Tftft were nomi-
nated. So far as the Legislative can
didates are concerneo, m-oi -the
ones who will name the electors,
the vote was strong for the Colonel
and his cohorts.
President Taft, so it is understood,
practically gave up thought of making
a strenuous fight. Ho was inclined to
admit that California would go for
his opponent and didn't see the ad
visability of spending much money.
The vote at the primaries was dis
couraglngly small all over the state,
showing considerable lack of interest
Just what bearing this lection will
have on the real election is hard to say.
Some of the wiseacres are contending
that the people who voted for Tajt
will swell the vote for Woodrpw V. il
son. thereby giving the Democrat a
chance. That may be possible, but
hardly probable. Roosevelt, it 1
thought by those who are in close
touch, will carry California.
Rudolph Spreckels, like his brother,
C August Spreckels, of the Federal
Sugar Refining Company, of New York,
is at last out in the open as an active
worker on a large scale for the suc
cess of the Democratic Presidential
candidateAWoodrow Wilson.
C. A. Spreckels" announced last May
that he would support either Clark
or Wilson if chosen by the Baltimore
convention. He is an avowed opponent
of the present sugar tariff and expects
the Democrats, if successful, to radi
cally reduce it. Rudolph Spreckels gets
into the National fight for Wilson by
consenting to become president of the
Woodrow Wilson National Progressive
League, with headquarters in Chicago.
After this campaign, however, he says
he will continue the Progressive fight
within the ranks of the Republican
party, presumably with Senator La
Follette. It was a bitter 'disappoint
ment to Rudolph Spreckels that Roose
velt and his crowd sidetracked the
Wisconsin roan in his Presidential
fight. But for this defection, Spreck
els firmly believes that La Follette
would now be the Republican stand
ard bearer, fipreckels will be a happy
man if the Roosevelt coterie is de
feated in this state next November.
It is said he would prefer to see Taft
win in California rather than Roose
velt - .
Joseph D. Grant's efforts to free his
son Douglas, from matrimonial bonds
with the former Ruth Goodrich, a wo
man very distasteful to the father, by
payment ' of money to her from his
ample exchequer, to get her to consent
to a divorce, calls attention to the most
striking instance of a peculiar kind of
marriage that has become public in this
city in recent years.
Several of these weddings have been
for good and all and after the first
flare of publicity, the couples have ap
parently lived happily and away from
the limelight. Others have had their
fathers buy off their wives. Just as
Grant, Senior, is trying to do now in
the case of bis son, who has succeeded
in harvesting a big -crop of wild oats
during the last two or three years. The
father is acting with a great deal of
determination in the affair. Whether
the young and pretty wife will be
tempted by some of the Grant money
remains to be seen. If she does, it is
predicted that with what she gets and
the sums that will go to the attorneys,
there will be a pretty sum for father
to hand out.
...
Garrett McEnerney, the leader of the
San Francisco bar, is off on another of
his European tours. McEnerney's suc
cessful handling of the Mexican pious
fund at The Hague, a share of which
was claimed by the California Church
of California from Mexico, together
with his frequent trips to Europe for
recreation and observation, have given
him some influential friends and ac
quaintances on the other side of the
Atlantic and furnished him with a
wonderful knowledge of European po
litical and social conditions, on all of
which he can and does talk at times.
In fact, it has become a hobby for
him, like his well-known enthusiasm
for Shakespeare. Probably Peter F.
Dunne is better posted on German pol
itics than Garrett McEnerney. but the
former lacks Garrett's general knowl
edge of European conditions. McEner
ney has frequently told his intimates
that the one thing which impressed him
in Germany was the Influence of Shake
speare on its scholars. They have writ
ten more about the works of the Bard
of Avon than even the English them
selves. . ...
Seeing Ulysses S. Grant, of San Diego,
one of the two living sons of General
U. S. Grant, at the Palace the other
night, somebody recalled that it is his
son, now 28, and an officer in the
Army, who is IT. 8. Grant III. He grad
uated at West Point in 1903, Just 60
years after his famous grandfather was
given his diploma by the same Institu
tion. ' His mother is the daughter of former
United States Senator Chaffee, of Colo
rado. U. S. Grant's sister's son, Alger
non Sartorls, was a young officer in
the American Army at the time of the
Spanish-American War.
He resigned after the, end of that
conflict, and is ' now , with his mother,
the former Nellie Grant.
.
Women have scored one victory in
San Francisco at least. In the contest
for nomination as members of the Su
perior bench of California, the law de
creed that the highest eight should run
m November, four to be named. A
Mrs. Lucy White, formerly a newspa
per woman, was one of the candidates,
and as things turned out, one of the
successful eight. Of course her victory
was spoiled by the fact that she barely
squeezed in. but for all that her name
will have to go on the ballot.
Judge Thomas F. Graham, so well
known to baseball and In his divorce
court role as 'The Great Reconciler,"
was paid the compliment of the highest
vote, Edward P. Shortall, at present
a Police Court Judge, and - William
Lawlor, who was the Judge in so many
of the graft cases, were also among
those named.
Julius Kahn, for many years a Repre
sentative In Congress from San Fran
cisco, was nominated without opposi
tion, and is doubtless assured of election.
CHICKEN YARD MUST GO
Restricted District for Fowls in City
May Follow Judge's Ruling.
Chicken yards in a, built-up district
are a nuisance "per se," ruled Judge
Tazwell in Municipal Court yesterday,
in ordering Mrs. L. H. Seamon, East
Twenty-first and Clinton streets, to
remove her fowls or pay a line of 120
by Saturday. "The evidence tends to
show that this place is kept as clean
as a chicken yard can be," said the
court, "but I hold that in a district
where houses occupy all the lots, any
chicken yard is a nuisance if the neigh,
bora complain of It."
H. Frise complained of the place and
brought others on the block to support
his statements. One man said he bad
been driven out and forced to sell his
property on account of the evil smell.
"They are persecuting me," said Mrs.
Seaman, who called other neighbors to
testify that they had not been an
noyed. This is the second case in which
the court has held against owners of
chickens in built-up neighborhoods. A
movement is afoot to establish a re
stricted district in which no chickens
may be kept. It will comprise all that
portion of the city which is compactly
built.
Klamath to Protect Water Rights.

of mountain water at Aspen Lake. Ow
