MADAME GADSKI, BACK FROM BERLIN, MOURNS FOR WOMEN WAR VICTIMS Diva Relates That Kaiser Shielded Jadlowker, Russian Tenor, at Outbreak of Hostilities and Bade Singer not to Appear Before Public Until Hostile Feeling Subsided Dancing Craze to Be More Normal, Is Prediction. BY KMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Sept. 19. (Special.) Madame Gadski was among the returning passengers and the preat German soprano tells most in terestingly of conditions as she found them In Berlin up to the time of her departure. It were in a certain sense useless to present her political views, but it may be said that she frankly de clared: "My heart aches for ail the blood that must flow, whether it is that of the German or of the French-1 man or of - any one else, and I mourn for the women who must, after all, be the greatest sufferers. I hope that America will come to see it as it is and I very much hope for this, because it is to me like my second country, and 1 grieve to see any misunderstanding of our position in the great, broad American mind." Madame Gadski. told many interest ing features, not the least of which was that when the Russians were told to leave Berlin, Jadlowker, the Russian tenor of the Berlin Opera-house, sent word to ask the Kaiser whaj. he should do. This was answered by a telephone from the Kaiser, who asked him, what he wanted to do, and when- the tenor said that unquestionably he wanted to remain in Berlin, the Kaiser answered: "Then stay. You are here, in ny em ploy and you are most welcome." When . the opera opened, Madame Gadski said it is now running in Berr lin, the Kaiser gave orders that Jad lowker was not to appear Just now In the fear that the feeling might be too strong against, a Russian, and he was permitted to go to the Weisse Hirsch, near Dresden, to rest and await a more opportune time to appear at the opera. Madame Gadski has a number of con certs before the opera season opens. It is beginning to dawn upon a num ber of persons interested that the danc ing craze has passed its crisis and that this season will be a great deal more normal. There probably will be. more stage dancing, but less eccentric dane ing In the ballroom. It is also said on Broadway that Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle are considering a vaudeville en gagement for the coming season. Maurice and his dancing partner are in vaudeville, and Joan Sawyer, with her s, has been one of the most suc cessful of the vaudeville attractions. Max Rabinoff returned this week and wnile he will present Pavlowa and company as originally planned, he will abandon for -the present the presenta tion of the Keinhardt spectacle "The Miracle. "The Century Opera Company opened its season with "Romeo and Juliet' Monday evening, September 14, and the following night "Carmen" was the at traction. These two performances were given for the benefit of the Red Cross Society and thereafter . the regular Century season will proceed along lines already shown. Fuller details will follow later. The week seems to have brought the theatrical season into full play, as no season ever seems real. ly in swing until the Empire doors are open. As. usual John Drew was the attraction In a new play called "The Prodigal Husband." It may be said that we are having the last of the adaptations that we are likely to have for some, time as there is little chance that Europe's playwrights wtll con tribute much for some time to come. "The Prodigal Husband" is "done over from the French" by Michael Morton and his hand seems to be dis tinct from that of the original author, Dario Niccodeml.. But John Drew is always the center of attraction in Drew play and the large audience of the first night made him : understand that he is ever a favorite. He had the role of Michel Giroux, a dissipated Frenchman' wnose drunken outbreaks led to a separation from his wife and to the downfall of his business. His redeemer corned through a 12-year-old child of the concierge impersonated in the early act by Helen Hayes Brown and later by Jennie Glendenning, who supplies some of the greatest charm of the play. The roue Giroux finds the little girl alone in the world after the death of her mother and father and his sympathies are moved. She becomes a member of such household as he has, but when the girl is 18, the world looks upon the situation with less charity. Simone aged IS runs away and seeks refuge with Madame Giroux, whom she has never seen and so the couple come together in time for the fall of the curtain. Other members of the cast in clude Grace Carlyle as Madame . Giroux and Ferdinand Gottschalk. "The Story of the Rosary," a great English melodrama, opened the Man hattan Opera-House. It is one of the true, old-fashioned plays which draw tears and - laughter alternately, and there is little doubt that it is on for a long run, if one may judge from the impression it seemed to create. At a time like this, when people want to forget the storm and stress of the day, it is absorbing and well calculated to let down real . tension as it builds up one of a different sort. Walter Howard, the author of the play, is in the cast, and the English company is highly competent. The name is based upon a rosary given by the wife of the dashing Captain Romain as he Is leav ing for war. It also furnishes the opportunity to use the well-known song to its best advantages in sundry forms. The captain is supposed to be killed and returns in time to hear his friends drinking to" his memory. Walter How ard, the author, is cast as Karl Larose, a part slightly less conspicuous than that of, Captain Paul Romain, while the villain brother, Philip Romain, was well interpreted by . James Berry. Annie Saker played the role of the wife, who was just on the verge of enteaing a' cloister when her husband returned and M&rjorie Day made friends of the great audience by the charm - with which she invested the part of the colonel's daughter. George Desmond supplied much comedy as a young dandy in love with the girl. There is little doubt that this play i on for a long run. . " With these new plays Monday night Drought the opening of John Cort s new theater the Standard on Broadway and Ninetieth street. That "Kitty Mackay" was the opening offering . is synonymous with saying that it was a success. The plan will be to bring uptown for one week all the successes of last season In their original form. "Within the Law" is scheduled for next week. James K. Hackett celebrated his birthday Monday evening by his first performance on any stage of "Othello1 in Ontario. Desdemona was Dla.ved b.v Mrs. Hackett (Beatrice Beckley) and Albert Howson appeared as Iago. Music from Verdi's opera was played under direction of Arthur Weld. This will be brought to New York shortly and eventually will go to the Pacific Coast. . George ' Broadhurst. who is usually known in the domain of comedy, put this far behind him in the play he has just had produced at the' Eltinge The ater. He enters the theatrical season with tragedy, which doeB not always hold true to ' the human note. It is called "Innocent," which he has adapt ed from, the Hungarian. It has not the flow of the same outhor's "Bought and Paid For." The name of -the play is the name of the heroine, which is in the hands of Pauline Frederick, who does the most for the part. . "FRAME-UP" STORY PROBED Court Orders Perjury Charges Filed Against Admitted ; Plotter. - WALLA WALLA, ; Wash., Sept. 19. (Special.) Taking official notice of the sensational charges made in an af fidavit by L. S. Kenworthy. -in which he admitted that his successful suit against Frank Richmond and Elizabeth Garrett for the alienation of his wife's affections was a frameup. Judge E-- C.

The Ken worthy case is now up on appeal. Kenworthy sued for $10,000 and got $3000. He lived In Portland last year, where lie was arrested last Winter in connection with some bad checks, later being released. ' ONE CANDIDATE DEFAULTS. Mrs. Claudine. S. Faust Has -Not .

Faust, of Dufur, nominee of the Progressive pary for representative of the 29th district In the Legislature. He announced that he had requested Mrs. Faust three times to submit a statement, and knew of no reason why she had not done so.- "Mrs. Faust's name will not be printed on the ballot unless an ex pense . statement shall be filed by her before September 23."

COMING OREGON POULTRY FAIRS FANCIERS" SCHOOLS OF BREEDING Exhibitors Ought to Profit Not Only by Awards, but Also by Increase of Knowledge Gathered Prom Successes r"n-.. of Competitors in Caring for Prize-Winning Stock, Says Expert. BY 'W.; LUDQWIO. THE state and county fairs through out Oregon will beheld in the coming months. No better oppor tunity presents - itself for farmers, stockmen and poultrymen to get to gether and the . ideas gained by such intercourse are of great educational value. The fairs snould be a clearing house for information and knowledge. We see what our neighbors are accom plishing In the line of work in which we are. interested. There is always a chance for improvement. . When we stay at home and work out our own ideas, without the beneficial .experi ences of others. We are working against great odds, and as a rule are lot so apt to succeed. We may think we are breeding the best, but when we attend the fairs and see what other breeders are accomplishing we make an effort to grow better stock and learn the methods others employ. A day or more spent asking questions among the breeders is sure to bring out new thoughts, gained from . prac tical men. The real educational value lies in bringing together the best specimens of each variety and having competent Judges, who point out the defects or the good points, place the awards, usu ally making comments on their selec tion, thus giving Ideas of the charac teristics a good specimen should pos sess. There is consolation in being able AMUSEMENT PALACE IS NEAPING COMPLETION. :..,:.:..: K Wr "3 Jiw I .

BKTWKEIV TBT1KTH ANIJ TWENTY. , FJRVT 8TREKTS. - Those who have enjoyed ' ice skating in Kastern states and those who are ambitious to become profi cient in that art are anticipating the opening of the Portland Ice Hippodrome, now nearing completion, on Marshall street, between Twentieth and Twenty-first (streets. J. George Keller, secretary and treasurer of. the company, said yesterday that the rink probably would be opened between October 1 and October 10. or as soon as the flvr has been .prop erly iced. 1 . , The building is 3S0 feet long and 175 in total width, providing an ice floor with an area of 321 by 85 feet. Seats will be placed for 5000 persons. The structure represents an Investment of $75,000, while the equip-' ment, Including machinery, -has tost an additional $50,000. The ice-making machinery has been sold to the Portland Electric Ice Company, which will make commer cial ice as well as supply the rink. A" total of 80.600 feet of pipe is required to make the ice. and it is said the floor will : accommodate between 2200 and 2300 skaters. , The feature of the construction work is the entire lack of posts. Support of the immense roof Is effected by 135 steel and wood trusses, said-to be the largest ever used In a similar building In the West. Each of the H largest trusses weighs 24 tons. - The plans for the structure .were drawn by .Arthur J. Maclure and the contract has been in the hands of Victor J. Carlson. scary that a favorable Impression d not be formed by the judge. to win a prize. It is a recognized fact that a number of winnings at impor tant fairs and under competent judges is essvtlal to one desiring to build up. a business, especially in exhibition stock. The buying public is soon con vinced that you have stock of merit. A win means that you are regarded as a leader, that you are not content with ordinary stock, but that your aim is higher. Whether your ehtry wins or not, let them be found on exhibition. This shows that you are In the class with the best producers and that ydu believe - In showing what your farm and your neighborhood can produce. The. exhibitor should familiarise himself with the standard require ments, the necessary good qualifica tions and the undesirable features of a show specimen. Preparations should be made now to select the most promising stock and to put them in condition so they will ap pear to the best advantage In the show room. The judge recognizes and passes only upon the specimen as It appears before him. The experienced breeder begins to handle his birds several weeks before the shows, as the exhibitor who grooms or conditions his birds has a better chance, to win. Frequent handling of the birds makes it easy for the judge to examine- them. Many a good bird has lost honors because it was so wild and could Care of Exhibit Necessary. Select the show specimens and pen them separate from the general flock several weeks prior to the fair. Place them in a small pen the size of the coop used in the showroom. This makes them feel at home In restricted quar ters. A bird unaccustomed to small quarters -and handled by the judge will struggle and spoil his chances of win ning. An experienced - exhibitor coops his birds daily and teaches them to pose wnen siroKea wun me juaging stick. Expert exhibitors, whose love and admiration for their stock is won derful, succeed in teaching their show birds to pose whenever a person ap pears In tfront of the coop? The birds thus trained Immediately create a fa vorable Impression. Two or three days before the birds are shipped to the fair white birds are greatly Improved in appearance by washing. The standard calls for pure white plumage, and any visible sign of dirt or foreign matter will prove a big handicap. Prepare two or three tubs with a supply of clean, warm water and place In a room with a fairly high tempera ture. The bird should then be placed In a tub half filled with water which is. about 100 degrees, or blood heat. Thoroughly lather the bird with a good white soap and rub It into the feathers, taking care to rub with the feathers. Avoid rough handling ana breaking the feathers. When the washing is completed remove the bird and place in a tub filled with luke warm water -to rinse out the soap. Be careful to remove every vestige of soap, otherwise the feathers will not web. Blueing: . Aids Cleansing. The third tub is filled with clean water from which the chill has been removed. The breeders use a small amount of blueing in the water. The same kind of blueing that is used to blue white wearing apparel In wash ing. Do not use a liberal quantity, as it is liable to stain the feathers. This Is supposed to remove the yellowish or creamy tinge apparent on some specimens. After the last washing the bird will be a sorry looking individ ual, but only until the feathers become dry. They are dried as much as possi ble by hand, then rubbed with towels. The fowl is then ready for drying, which should be done as quickly as possible. Keep the birds in the room until they are perfectly dry, then place them In a clean compartment or coop, the bottom of wMch is covered with a bed of clean straw so that the feathers will not be soiled. The birds must be thoroughly dry before removing to other quarters of a lower temperature. While it is not advisable to wasli dark colored birds their plumage may be improved with a silk handker chief. Shanks and feet should be thorough ly scrubbed. If there is an'accumula tion of dirt beneath the scales on the shanks it should be removed with a toothpick. Polish these parts with a cloth saturated with jsweet oil. Wash the comb and wattles with a mixture of two parts of sweet oil and one part of alcohol. This will re move the dirt that has collected in the depressions. Massaging softens those pads and will bring out the color. This face washing can be de layed until the birds arrive in the showioom If the owner accompanies them. Slnjcte Coops Advised. After placing the birds in condition It is important that proper coops be constructed in which to forward the birds to the exhibition. Male birds should always be placed In a single coop. Hens or females should be shipped the same way be cause if there are more than one In a coop, all aro liablo to become more or less soiled. The coop' should give the fowl ample room. For the tallest birds 30 inches is none too high and this may be graded to a foot for the smallest bantam. A bird should never touch the top of the coop with its comb, as it may bruise it. Scatter a little grain in the bottom, as this gives the birds something to work for. Do not place water in the coop. To take the place of water some breeders use apples and vegetables such as beets or raw potatoes. If there are any small feathers In the back or breast that ftre broken remove them. Barred Rock breeders hasten to remove black feathers whils the breeders of white birds remove feathers showing a black speck. Millar Purvis says: "There Is some dispute about the regularity of this, but there is no doubt about the practice. How far an exhibitor may go without behvg accused of faking is not clearly settled, but it is generally agreed that clean ing a fowl, polishing beak and Hhajik-j, cleaning the face and removing any small broken feathers Is legitimate. Blueing fowls is discountananced by many exhibitors, but it is noticable that none of them ever exhibited white fowls." However, the true sportsman ami fancier recognizes that there is a v-ast difference between conditioning and fakirg. Conditioning Is an attempt to bring out to the best advantage all' the good characteristics the bird pos sesses. Faking is an artificial means whereby an inferior bird is improved. The practice of chemically bleaching the white plumage of birds, extracting stubs from shanks and toes and plug ging up the holes and trimming the combs, aro straight faking. These same defects will appear in the progeny of the faked birdM and such practices should be discontinued. The true fancier is making every effort to cor rect this evil.
