' ' THE SUNDAY OREGOMAIf, PORTXAND, MAY 34, 1914. SIOEL'G. BLYTHE QUIZZED; IS SPHINX ramous Interviewer of Great and Near Great Displays ' Some Ordinary Traits. TALES TOLD OUT OF SCHOOL "Politics" Is Word, However, Which Causes His Mind to Tog, Eyes to Wander and His Tongue . ' to Cleave in Month. BY LEONE CASS BAER. Samuel G. Blythe, whoso gabby, inti mate. studied-t-close-range disclos nre concerning big men In the Satur day Evening Poet's "Who's Who" col umn Is only exceeded in interest 'by the "What's his name and how much has he got" column in Dun's and Brad streets', allowed mo to interview him Friday. You know you've got to have a lot of crust to ask the biggest interviewer In the United States and adjacent points to take time to talk for noth ing- Sam Blythe gets money, gobs of it. for putting his talk into print, and naturally, although he has an inex haustible supply, he doesen't like to give it away. None of us would. He had just finished writing a fat, many-paged letter and had caught night of the postman as I entered the Portland Hotel writing-room. Traits Told In One Art. "Hey, Chief," he called, wig-waggling the postman. And in that moment I got an Insight into three traits of the man Blythe. He Is accustomed to being obeyed, he is orderly in his personal habits, or maybe merely finical, which arrives at the same place, anyway; and he is not overly keen i about crowds. I got the dominant note In his crisp, cool voice when he "Hey, chiefed" the postman into a state of tension while he, Blythe, folded, his letter, enveloped it, addressed the envelope and searched for a stamp. Remember that story of the woman who opened the big purse, took out the little purse, -shut the big purse, opened the little purse, extracted a clime, eloped the little purse and so- on forever? Well, Mr. Blythe pursued the same routine, only his implements were a pocketbook, a cardcase, i stampbook and more painstaking neat ness than the Ladies' Sewing Circle ever syndicated. When the letter was safely stamped snd the various little books placed; one within the other, and returned to their resting place, Mr. Blythe (gar nered his cane and hat-and, eyeing the small crowd, said: "Let's go out on the porch, where we 11 not have an audience. Crowd Really Not Sought. Now it so happened that the crowd on the porch was larger even than the one In the writins-room, and if it had been an actor I was interviewing I'd have had a good inside laugh at the obvious staging. But not with Sam Blythe. We found a corner and ! proceeded to rush in where angels fear to tread I asked him about politics. - Which it just about as nervV as asking Teddy Roosevelt for one of his prized teeth, or asking Mary Garden to warble Spring song to put in my interview. Mr. Blythe sidesteps beautifully. He simply acted as if the word politics hadn't been mentioned and went into a lengthy dissertation on the beauties of the Pacific Coast. The only big regret I nave In my life is that I didn't settle out here. he said. "Every year I gallop out this way, and smile all the way. And when I have to turn my face homeward the smile fades. "This trip is purely domestic, how ever. We got here, my lady wife, and I. Thursday night and we're leaving Sunday. Every year Mrs. Blythe goes abroad. We ve an only child, our son here in Portland, and since he couldn't come East just now, I brought his mother to see him before she sails. But I'm coming soon again, maybe in the Fall, to gather some news." Then I shoved in my question about the tolls muddle. Interviews Like a Politician. His brilliant, green-gray eyes looked way off over the top of the Postoffice as Vie replied: "Yes, I think the newspaper game 1s the greatest in the world, and I've put my boy into it. But the place to play It is in the West. Competition is too keen in the East. It is heartbreak ing." lie spoke of his work with an easy and effortless flow of humor. "Oh, what wouldn't I give to organ ise n union wherein I could p resent some of these dubs as they really are." i lie said. "Newspaper writers give the dear public men and "women qualities they don't possess and never coud possess, in order to make good stories. "Once an editor wired me, 'So and po Is in your city on a tour; wire us six epigrams a day.' The man. a big political power, was noted for his epi grams, lie neVer had made one in his life. Rome clever newspaper man had attributed qualities of humor to him and the other papers had kept it up. Blythe Framed Him. Own. "I sent six epigrams daily. I made them all myself. They were printed and when the statesman died theyj were collected in his biography. "Why don't you write an' expose, a real 'who is who,' and tell us all about them?" I ioeried. "Why don't you," he retorted. "I'll wager that right $ere in Portland' you have 25 pretentious bluffs, who figure in your daily papers, with their social, political and business uprisings and Uownsiltings. "Now what do you suppose would happen if you would tell the truth? For one thing it would be too cruel and for another no paper dares want ' that sort of stuff. Acatn I sprung the tolls stuff. This time he faced squarely about. "Do you know anything about poll- tics?" -he asked. "Because I'm a woman?" I flared. "No, a woman can understand what ever she wants to understand, "end a lot of things men don't want her to understand." explained Mr. Blythe. "but 1 meant that, if you didn't under stand politics, I'd explain to you the situation." n anil, ii ; vaiuui-vu m ur m r m . So, molliiied, I pleaded ignorance and he diagrammed with Jiis hands and his cane and delightful animation. Having gut this personally conducted'politlcai tour threugh my head, he said: "Now, .listen! Yes. the free tolls bill will be repealed and I'll tell you why. John W. Kerns, who ran for Vice Tresident with the late Mr. Bryan and . who is the Democratic leader of the Senate, two days aro got up in thai body and suggested that a day be act for voting on the repeal bill and asked if there was any objection to May 27. .McCumber said the date was not agree- aole. "Now don't you see that Kern would niivcr liave asked for a unanimous vote unless, he had enough votes tucked up : his sleeve to put it over? He is begin ning to press the matter, lengthening the time of the Senate's sittings and he wouldn't have begun that sort of busi ness unless he was sure he had enough votes to pass the repeal. It will gaily pass, I prophesy." "Well, here's my other question," I said. "How do you find business conditions all over the country? "I don't," he- said. "IA.11 I know is that my busines is all right and I don't talk about other folks'." "Well, what do you think about the Mexican mess?" I asked. "I thought all I know about that subject In yesterday's Post," he said.. How does Blythe look? Well, he's roly poly on the chin and his hair is lapsing a bit. What is left is of shiny soft brown. His friendly spirit is unimpaired, after all the wear and tear forced upon it; his humor is quiet and woiy unobtrusively. He is rest ful and there's a charm and piquancy in nis vigorous logic He isn t pic turesque or heroic, unless bearding lions in their dens is heroic, nor elo quent, but he is original and flares with repartee, bedrock common sense. and a fine, intimate insight of people and what tad why and where and when they do things. " the only habit he has is travel. Every year he takes four or five travel baths in the United States. When I think over all that he said and take the material apart and try to put it together again, it's like taking the clock to pieces. There's always enough leiL over to make another clock. il WE PUT filORSE IN JA1U"DEGLAREST.R. Colonel Comments on 'Mellen Testimony, Declaring Opin- . ion Is Unchanged. EMBEZZLER IS HELD J. IC ELDER CONFESSES TO TAKING 437 OP FIRM'S MONEY. Farmer Confidential Man of Nehalem Timber & LoEKlns Company Breaks Down Before. Detectives. Confronted with facts and figures, "J. K. Elder, formerly head bookkeeper and confidential man, of the Nehalem Timber Ac Logging Company, broke down yesteraay afternoon In the office of the company in the Spalding build lng and confessed to embezzling $4307 by failing to deposit money intrusted to his care. The arrest of Elder was brought about by a coup in which Detectives Moloney and Swennes and Colonel Charles Reeves, attorney for the com pany, arranged to have him call at the office to check over disputed figures found by F. B. Falkener. the head bookkeeper succeeding. Mr. Elder, who left the company's employ January 1, 114. The method, said - the detectives, employed by Elder was in the manipu lation of checks cashed at the Nehalem Timber & Logging Company's store at bcappoose and which were again cashed by Elder in Portland, but not credited to the store s account. Monthly pay checks made payable to employes were cashed at Scappoose, but were not stamped "paid" when convertea into cash and turned over to the men. These checks were turned over to Elder as head bookkeeper in tne general offices in Portland for bank deposit. Elder is charged with appropriating the money he received when the checks were presented for payment at the bank on which they were drawn. Elder's peculations are said to have occurred over ' a period dating from July, 1912, to January 1 1914. Detectives Moloney and Swennes have been investigating the records of th company with the company's attorneys for a month, and yesterday evidence sufficient to call for a warrant for Elder s arrest was presented to Deputy District Attorney Delch, who issued the complaint. Elder, who gave his age as 26, was booked at the city jail last night on a charge of larceny by embezzlement, and his bail set at J5000. Elder lives at SBJ East Sixtieth street north. He is said to be in the employ of the Silver Falls Timber Company, 1406 Northwestern National Bank building. HOLDUP SHOOTS VICTIM Clayton Stearns Waylaid Xear "Home ' . and Gets Bullet. Clayton Stearns, living at 446 East Twelfth street, was shot by a highway man about 1:15 o'clock Saturday morn lng at Fourteenth and Tillamook streets. The wound is not believed to be serious. The bullet entered the right forearm and passed out without touch ing any other portion of the body, meeting in Turn Halle Friday night. Stearns was within two blocks of home. The robber approached him, when Stearns asked him what he was doing. The man shot without further provocation. He then turned and ran into the darkness. FLINN MAKES FIRST CALL Lineup in Pennsylvania Declared "Very Good Indeed" Two Ste nographers Required to Main tain I Roosevelt Pace. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., May 23.--Wil- Ham Flinn, of Pittsburg, Progressive National committeeman, who led the bolt of Roosevelt delegates from the Republican National convention of 1912, paid last night his first visit to Sagamore Hill since Colonel Roosevelt's return from South America. With Mr. Flinn was Gifford Pinchot, Progressive candidate for Ijnlted States Senator from Pennsylvania. It is probable that Colonel Roosevelt will devote several days to a speaking trip throughout the state, aftor his return from his tour across Lie continent. 'The line-up in Pennsylvania," Colonel Roosevelt said, "is very good indeed. Mr. Flinn Is confident of wini ning, as am I." Mellen Testimony Productive. The testimony in Washington of Charles S. Mellen, ex-president of the new lorn, New Haven & Hartiora Railroad, regarding his interview with President Roosevelt concerning the sale - of the New Haven's steamship lines to Charles W. Morse, of New York, caused the Colonel to send a telegram to Herbert Knox Smith, of Hartford, Conn., who was Commissioner of Corporations during the Roosevelt Administration, asking him to make public a letter" which he had sent the Colonel in 1913 regarding this matter. which, as Commissioner of Corpora tions, he supervised. i This letter, the Colonel said, explained every phase of the situation. Morse Put in Jail, Says Colonel. Colonel Roosevelt said the Mellen in terview was probably one of a dozen that day and he could not recall the details. "I thought then, and I think now." he went onv "that it would have been mistake to nun'e Mr. Morse acquire the steamship lines. . As to Mr. Morse's business record, I will refer you to the courts. You remember that he was in dicted under, my Administration. We put Mr. Morse in jail. He was par doned biit not until after my Administration." It took two stenographers to keep pace with Colonel Roosevelt yesterday as he made his way through a mass of letters and telegrams and dictated replies. Lunckeon Table .Crowded. Colonel Roosevelt declined to see callers in the morning and dented him self his customary horseback ride. The big table in the dining-room was filled at luncheon. " At the table sat several men who figured prominently in the formation of the Progressive party two years ago. Besides ex-Governor Bass, of New Hampshire, others in the party were Frank K. Knox, formerly Pro gressive leader in Michigan and now a newspaper publisher in Manchester, N. H.; O. K. Davis, of Washington, sec retary of the Progressive National committee; Horace S. - Wilkinson, of Syracuse, chairman of the Progressive county committee there, and Mark Sul livan, George W. Perkins and Henry L. Stoddard, of New York. an emotional, excellent actor. In a very short time Giordano was himself again. - The performance of the New York Grand Opera Company is an honest one. They do not promise an elaborate, met ropolitan performance of "Faust" and consequently do not give it. The seven soloists comprising the strength of the company strive their best to pleasev and they succeed. The scenery and stage appointments are adequate and pleasing to the eye. On a. recent visit to this city of the Chicago Grand Opera Company the big orchestra of 75 men played so strong an orchestral accom paniment that Uje singing of chorus and soloists was nearly drowned out. The great Campaninl was asked to "hush" his orchestra just tine little bit, but he was adamant. "What?" asked Campaninl, "what would then become of the beautiful harmonies of the' op era? Harmony Is. everything in opera. Tvines? Poof 1" ' s ' Now, no such complaint can be regis tered against the New York Grand Opera Company, for the orchestra does not drown out the vocal stars. It I possible to hear their separate voices. It must be remembered tnat many peo pie present in ast night's audience. judging from the warm applause, must have heard "Faust for the Iirst time in their lives and that they looked on the event also from an educational standpoint. Giordano was .highly effective in the first act, when he snakes with the palsy of age and tries to ward off the wiles of the devil, as the later plots for the old man's soul in return for the gift of eternal youth. Ric-ard E. Parks, as Mephistopheles, was sardonic ana chuckling and displayed a strong bass voice for a man of such small physique as he. Nora D'Argel, as Marguerite, - was a typical German .maiden, made up as tradition has it dainty, trusting ana girlish. Miss D'Argel has a most pleas- nt soprano voice and ne sang witn skill in understandable English. Gior dano sang both in Italian and English. Romero Malpica's "Valentine" wassur- iciently romantic, anr the "Sieoel ot Marguerite Hobert, contralto, was nota ble for its fine sentiment., Miss Ho bert has a pleasant singing voice. The Martha" of , Ethyl M. Peters was marked by the necessary light comedy. The company-will give another ren dition of "Faust" tonisht. 'AGENT' PLUNDERS HOIVTE MAID AT H. M.

The Bank of Hinton. a. hotel, a gen eral store and several small business concerns in the central part of town have been destroyed Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a 'well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked: get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in, the kidney region: rheu matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach. constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri tation..
