THE SUXDAT OREGOyfAN. PORTLAND, OCTOBER 23, 19M. POPULAR CONCERT TENOR COMING TO PORTLAND Steers & Coman to Present, on November 8, Evan Williams, Who Will Give Sunday Afternoon Recital at the Heilig Theater. ASK FOR 12 f.Y'ff' far- , - . r - v - 1 h - v r ' , , ft ' ' '?"'''"' " ' - , ; EVAN WILLIAM 5. THE first visit to the Pacific North west of Evan Williams, the great est American concert tenor by general acknowledgment, will give the people an opportunity of enjoying a voice that evokes the wildest enthusiasm from every audience. It is a voice of . wonderful sweetness and power, under standing every mood that moves the heart of man. So remarkable is the human appeal that it may well be called "the voice of the people," ex pressing in song all the blithe gay ety and buoyant optimism of the Amer ican people, their naive humor and sparkling wit, their ready sympathy of all conditions of men, their scorn of snobbery, their passionate Joy of life and nature, their quick appreciation of nobility of action and heroism. But it is in the realm of sacred song, the inspired music of Handel and Mendelssohn, the grand and uplifting oratorio numbers from "The Messiah," "The Creation" or "Elijah,'" which so few voices dare attempt, that Mr. Wil liams sends electric thrills through his aurience. These, the most sublime songs ever created by the genius of men, require not only dramatic inten sity of the highest order, but a union of delicacy, pathos, exquisite art and impassioned power of song that sweeps the hearer to grand heights, where, in glorious vision, he sees the world in process of creation, the primeval pas sions and inspired ideals of mankind lay bare before him as though illumi nated from heaven. JUDGE VISITS JAIL Messages of Hope Given to 90 Men Behind Bars. TWO RELEASED QUICKLY D. J. Valley, Held on Statutory Charge, and Peter Samard, Charged With Xon-Snpport, Freed on Own Recognizance. I know not whether laws be rig-ht. Or whether laws be wrong; All that we know who lie in goal la that the wail Is strong; ' And that each day Is like a year; A year whose days are long, i f bearing a message of hope to in mates of the County Jail, Judge Henry K. McGinn visited them yesterday morning and talked with the prisoners ' lor two hours. He held interviews with over 90 murderers, thieves and com mon drunks and promised to do what be could toward helping the condition of each man. He directed that two men be brought Into court in the afternoon and re leased them on their own recogniz :. ance. These were E. J. Valley, held since August on a statutory charge, . and Pete Samard, charged with non support, t "I will look into your cases," said Judge McGinn to prisoners in whose behalf he can intervene. "Any of you can send me word at any time and 1 will come up and see you whenever 1 can do anything for you. Speedy Trial Advised. "These men should have a speedy trial instead of being held here for months. One man has been here since last August without anything being . done in his case. While I have the criminal department I will give prompt trials to anyone and get them out of ', here. They should not be held in this Jail. It don't do them any good, nor is it any good to the state." Long sentences of 15 days for com mon drunks from the Municipal Court caused comment by Judge McGinn. He. told a number of these prisoners they Bhould not be there. Loggers, sailors, railroad workmen and others are held .' on vagrancy charges who, he declared, ' should not be in Jail Just because they came to town and happened to get drunk. t "These men are entitled to a little time when they come in from a Job of work," said Judge McGinn. '" "I would " give it to them myself. Their cases , should be heard by the Chief of Police or some such practical man who can dispose of them quickly. After a night .' in Jail for being drunk they should be i let go. In cases of longer terms they 1 should be put on a farm or given out : door work. This Jail is no place for them. Personsl Interviews) Held. i Judge McGinn held personal inter views with every man in prison. He shook hands with a majority of the prisoners and wished them good luckr Some of you boys have been here ; too long," was a remark he made to a man serving 15 days for drunken ness, and he repetaed this opinion In other words frequently. !

Chippewa Indian and other admixtures ; of nationalities. A Japanese prisoner. I held for an affair with an Indian gir t he had met in a Chinese restaurant save the Judge a long letter explain ing his case that he had written out in his native tongue and then trans lated between the lines into English. The Judge talked French with prison ers of that nationally. Some prisoners did not know why they were there, they said. -A num ber protested innocence, but R. Sam omi, a Japanese, surprised the judge when asked what he was arrested for, when he said: "I steal watch." George Arbnckle KflDcarooed. George Arbuckle, serving a 20-day sentence for drunkenness, said: "I got kangarooed - in the police court." "They gave you more than you had coming," said Judge McGinn. Joseph Lacher, a German sailor, ar rested for molesting a Salvation Army street meeting, held that his arrest was unjustified. "I was sober, just like a fish in the sea," he said. Fred Davison, a blue-eyed Norwegian sailor, regretted the fact that he could not get out to rejoin his ship, having imbibed too freely when he came ashore. Lloyd Wilkins, convicted of first de gree murder, under sentence to be hanged, told Judge McGinn he was per fectly satisfied with his treatment in jail and had not a complaint to make. John A.
