Delia Crowder Miller, one of America's leading dramatic Interpreters, and Colonel George TV. Bain, of Kentucky, the grand old man of the lecture platform, each captivated a great audience st Chautauqua today. Mrs. Miller read "Ben Hur" before 3500 people this aft ernoon, and tonight the veteran orator from the Blue Grass state played on the heartstrings of an even larger audi ence. . There was no need of scenery, or costumes, or chariots, in Mrs. Miler's picture of "Ben Hur." She proved a genuine artist in her interpretation ofj General Wallace's great masterpiece. It was all eo genuinely artistic that her large audience paid the finest tribute which can be accorded a speaker they kept their seats until she had finished, and remained silent. As for the grand old man of Ken tucky well, he made good with a vengeance, as he has done on three former occasions at Gladstone Park during the past 22 years. His subject tonight was "Among the Masses, or Traits of Character." Ovation Give Speaker. Colonel Bain was given an ovation by the Chautauquans as he stepped on the platform. He is somewhat over 75 years old. but his intellectual vigor teems to have grown more virile with the lapse of years and his voice has acquired a sweeter and more impelling tone than ever. He never was.. more effective than tonight in Gladstone Park. Willamette University hour was the feature this morning. Representative Hawley and President Carl Doney each spoke, and readings were given by Helen Miller Senn. of Portland. In closing his series of Government study lectures this morning, Mr. Hawley said: "I cannot tell you the pleasure that has been mine to meet you all again. In the years that have elapsed since the old days at Gladstone Park many of you have ripened and your lives have grown sweeter with the ripening of years. I trust we will meet again." Mr. Hawley has been at Gladstone Chautauqua 15 of the 22 years at its existence. Gnllatto Trio Heard. Two other delightful features of to day's programme were the appearance of the Gullatto trio at 1:15 and 7:30 to day and the address by Miss DeGraff at Mother Congress headquarters at 4 P. M. Miss DeGraff spoke on her ex periences with Jane Addams at The Hague. The closing day will see another rec ord attendance. The day is filled with features of unusual interest. The Tyrolean Alpine Yodlers will appear twice, at 1 P. M. and 7:30. Dr. Roland A. Nichols, the man who "fathered" Harold Bell Wright, speaks at 8 o'clock on "The Man Worth While." At 4 o'clock the big Chautauqua chorus Of 100 voices, under direction of Professor J. H. Cowen, will give a sacred con cert.' Many of Portland's beet-known vocalists will take part, among them being Jane Burns Albert, soprano; Vir ginia Spencer Hutchinson, contralto; Norman A. Hoose, tenor; Hartridge G. Whipp. baritone, and A. E. Davidson, bass. Special trains over the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company's line (Oregon City car) will leave First and Alder streets every half hour during the day and evening. A special section of the park will be roped off for autos near the upper gate. NO SALARIES ARE PAID (Continued From First Page.) celved any expense money in addition to his commissions?" Commissions Sale Remunerative. "No." "Then he paid the expenses of his trip into Harney County, including a stage ride of more than 150 miles, out of his commisisons?" Mr. House said this was the case. "If he hadn't sold a single share of stock on his trip and had thus made no commissions, he would have been out all his expenses?" "Yes." "That's all." said Mr. Magulre. An important witness for the Gov ernment in its case against Mr. Camn- bell was Elmer B. Payne, assistant cashier of the Eugene Loan & Savings isanK, or iiugene. Mr. Payne, it turned out, was also an invetor in Cashier stock, but he was put on the stand by United States Attorney Reames rrl- marlly to bring out a point the Gov ernment wanted to make in connection with the missing $8 a share for various blocks of stock sold for $14 a share to Eugene investors, but for which only $6 a share is accounted for in the Frank Menefee special acouat. which was the center of Interest In Friday s testimony. Notes Go to Personal Account. This point was that the note for $1400 which Professor John Straub, of the university of Oregon, paid Mr. Campbell for 100 shares at $14 a share: E. O. Tobey's e$1400. not note for 100 shares at the same price: Mr. Payne's check for $500 for 80 shares at $6.25 a share, and other checks from buyers of stock in Eugene were deposited in the Eugene bank by Mr. Campbell in his personal account. The witness identified deposit slips entered witn tne bank and testified tbat the notes of Professor Straub. and Mr. Tobey had been sold to the bank by Mr. Campbell. From the deposit of these sums by Mr. Campbell to the. entries In Mr. Men efee's special account, showing the crediting of SG for each of the shares thus sold at $14 a share, there is no trace of th'e other 8. Mr. Payne said he got his stock for 6.25 a share on April 2, 1912, Mr. Camp bell having written him to give his check for $500 and he would get him some stock. The witness said he didn't know how many shares he was to get or the price to be paid, but left that all to Mr. Campbell, who got him a price of- $6.25 a. share. He bought as a speculation. Machine Tried by Bask. The witness was questioned about a cashier machine the bank had bought for $100, including- a rebate of $100 given by Mr. Campbell, with the agree ment that if not satisfactory after six months" trial the price would be re funded. Mr. Payne said the machine did all that was claimed for it, but did not prove fitted to the purposes of the bank and was returned. The bank got its money back as agreed, be added. Accountant House, following Mr. Payne on the stand, testified that Mr. Payne's SO shares were charged to the Frank Menefee special account. When this account was closed out Decem ber 31, 1913, he said, this stock was settled with the company, as shown In the entries, for $1 a share, though Mr. Payne paid $6.25 a share for it and it had been charged against Mr. Menefee at par value of $10 a share. The dif ference between the $10 and the $4 had been charged to the "premium" ac count, he explained! Two hundred shares oougnt Dy w. . Rearick direct from the company's treasury stock and charged to the Men efee special account at par value of $10 a share, Mr. House testified, was set tled In the account at $6 a share, the difference of $4 being charged up to the "premium" account. Mr. House Examined Closely. Attorney Pipes subjected Mr. House to a vigorous cross-examination as to the inferences to be drawn from his testimony in regard to the Menefee special account. Mr. Pipes sought to bring out in nis questioning that this account was a private memorandum kept by ' Mr. Menefee so that he could tell whether stock sales were made from company tock. or stock owned by Mr. Menefee. Mr. House said he did not understand from his examination of it that the special account was kept for that pur pose. "Was any stock charged on the spe cial account, certificates of which showed it had previously been Issued to Mr. Menefee?" asked Judge Bean. "No, replied Mr. House. Attorney Pipes then announced to the court that he would call Mr. House back to the stand Monday, with the books of the company, for further cross-examination to clear up the spe cial Account question. Mr. Menefee to Espials At . He said that he would endeavor to show in this cross-examination, from the books of the company, that in this special account Mr. Menefee had charged oft against himself shares of the com pany's stock as they were issued on sales, in order to keep trace of this stock from the time it was issued and sold to the time the subscriptions were paid, and that Mr. Menefee had trans ferred his own stock back to the com pany against stock so issued. The ac count was a private one, he asserted. and any discrepancies in it were not intentional. Mr. Pipes said the full explanation of the special account would be mad by Mr. Menefee when he takes the stand himself later in the trial. In tne host of apparently damaging letters written by various salesmen to the company in regard to their stock selling plans, so far introduced in evi dence by the Government, none ha yet been introduced that was written by B. F. Bonnewell or H. M. Todd, two of the defendants. The evidence against them has been oral for the raont part. The most damaging of the letters in troduced were written by O. L. Hopson and Joseph Hunter. Hunter has pleaded guilty and Hopson, a fugitive from Jus tice since last February, has Just been captured by United States authorities. Oregon Womei Asked to Aid Sisters in East. Money Needed for Saffraare Cam pnlarn In New Jersey, and Several Give Prompt Response. BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. ILL the women of the West come to our aid In this criti cal time?" This is the cry that has come out from the East to the women of Ore gon. Here is the opportunity for those who recently gained the right to vote to show that they are loyal to their sex. ' Here is a chance to prove that, though women may be inconsistent in little things, they are not so in the, big affairs of life. The plea from the East was sent to Mrs. Solomon Hlrsch. who was a leader in the campaign for equal suf frage in this state. It came in the form of a night letter written by Helen Hoy Greeley, one of the most distinguished women of the East. In the hour of their need they who are struggling for the franchise felt they could turn to those who had it and knew it to be a sane and Just thing. The election upon which the hopes of the workers hinge will be held in New Jersey October 19. If New Jersey favors the movement the leaders feel that New York will be strongly influ enced. The election on the all-important question in the latter state will come on November 2. Before these dates much hard work must be done. Many of the workers are donating their time and talents unstintingly and untiringly. But some money is an absolute necessity, and so the women who are making the big effort are looking to the Far west for help. And it must be sent immediately or much ground will be lost. Mrs. Hirsch volunteered to head the list with a donation. Mrs. C. S. Jack son asked to be given an opportunity to assist, and Mrs. Henry Ladd Cor bett. who is a former New Yorker, and knows conditions, will give substantial aid. Mrs. Elliott Corbett. Mrs. P. J. Mann and several others have already volunteered to help. Whatever is done must be done within the next few days. No matter whether the sum be large or small. It will show the spirit of the West. It will demonstrate that the women of Oregon are sincere. "Many women do not take an in terest because they have always had some one to take care of them, pro vide for them, think for them even, and they do not realize what other women have to contend with," said a prominent local woman as she offered to participate, in helping tho Eastern women. "I was not In favor of suf frage," said another, "but i found it worked so beautifully. Women vote In a dignified manner. They do not neglect their homes or their babies for politics. They study the needs of the community, the character and qualifi cations of the man running for office, and then they cast their ballot. Now I want the men of the East to be as broad-minded, sensible and chivalrous as were our Western men. and I am glad to give my little share." Those who wish to assist in the cause to which these have subscribed may send their check to Mrs. Solomon Hirsch. St. Clair and Washington streets. Those who are making the appeal are not militants. They are -doing their work in a Alcrnlfleri kiu.... like, womanly way, with kindness In their hearts and a desire to help the women of the East to the liberty that Is possessed by the West, RUSSIAN REGIMENTS HAVEPATROHTOWNS Religious Ceremonies Held in Field by Soldiers Who Fight for Czar. OFFICERS NOTABLY YOUNG Morale of Army Illustrated by Ef forts of Xcw Recruits to Im prove Time In Practicing Method of Attack. BY ROBERT R. M'CORMICK. (Copyright. 1915. by the Chicago Tribune. Published by arrangement. ) PETROCSRAD. June 22. Every Rus sian army regiment has a homo town, after which It is named and from which at least a large proportion of Its soldiers are drawn. This gives it the advantage of having "people back home" to take a special Interest in its welfare, to mako special presents to Its wounded ana to Are its soldiers with letters of praise. Soma of the guard regiments are named after the largest cities, as of Petrograd, or of provinces, as of Fin land, with the same result. The Russian regular army thus gets the same popular support that comes to our volunteers In time of war, but not to our regulars; at the same time It has tho training of regular soldiers; anyone can see the advantage of giv ing soldiers both training and popular support over our system of giving training to one and popular support to the other and both to neither. Brilliant Feats Perpetuated. Brilliant feats in history also are recalled In name and equipment. There is the regiment which stood in battle until, tradition says, blood flowed up to the boot tops. This regiment is dis tinguished by a red band on the tops of the boots. There is the division which stood against odds of four to one and checked General Van Damme after the battle of Dresden, contributing more than any other one single feat of the armies to the overthrow of Napoleon. The Prussian King gave to each of the sur vivors .the Iron Cross. There are regiments famed for bat tles against the Turk, against the Kil gia. feats of arms as great and as un known to us as la the sacrifice of the Alamo in Europe. Tho Seminovsky regiment held Ks fete while I was at Lomza and General BezobrazofC was kind enough to in vite roe and the British artillery at tache to be present. We spent a con siderable time while we admired the way in which the regiment had con cealed their cannon and tho enterprise with which they selected observation points. Thus the regiment was drawn up in hollow square for solemn mass when we arrived. Altars Erected la Orchards. In van orchard had been erected two altars which the Greek service requires, one In the lino of troops, the other In the center of the square. Near tho first stood the choir, chosen sing ers from the regiment. At the second stood the priests with their high col lars and flowing robes, some of white, some of yellow. In. the center of the square stood the General commanding the corps and Be hind him his staff and the commander of the regiment. Beside him on hli left upon a spirited thoroughbred horse sat a grave man with pointed beard -and thinning hair. It was the Grand Duke Boris, who had visited tho United States as a young man 12 years ago. The change these years had wrought reminded me forcibly of the lapse of time. At a word of command the troops grounded arms, at another word they removed their caps. The service began. Tho service Is Intoned throughout and Is assisted from time to time by the voices of tfTe choir. The soldiers neither sing nor pray audibly, but their ardent participation in the ceremony is seen from their moving Hps and the devout way In which they make tho sign of tne cross. The Cossacks are said to be the most devout of the Russians, but I bare been impressesd by the unanimity of the re ligious feeling which permeates the wnoie army. Russian Officer Acts As Model. Then followed ceremonies particular to tne regiment. At some of theaa oniv the troops come fo the salute, at others troops anC the visiting officers, at others the officers alone. Being in the rront rank or tne visitors, I found my self somewhat lost when to salute and when not. Stepping back and turning to tho left. I hoped to model my conduct after that or the British attache, to find that of. fleer had been copying my mistakes In the same manner. A Russian officer, perceiving our embarrassment, took station whore wo could see him to model our conduct. The commandmant in the center caned ror cneera for various men and things, which were heartily responded to by 4000 throats, and he called for cheers for the Emperor, to which tho woods resounded until my arm grew tired from maintaining the salute. wmie me Dana piayea tho national hymn, not once, but several times. Next came the review. I suppose readers will become wearv of my constant alulslon to the military exercises wnicn seemed to" be foolish formalities before I came to the war. They do look foolish at home, but In sound of tho enemy's guns -even the strut step nas Its value. The straightened back and lifted neaa react favorably upon tho nerv ous system of tho man about to sro un der fire. The eager response to orders is to a regiment what snap is to a foot- Dan team.. Men Heavier Thaw Officers. The parade of a guard regiment li a remarkable sight. The officers are average size man. but tho soldiers are a head taller -and fully 50 pounds heav ier to tne man., This la in marked con trast to tho English regiments, where I havo remarked that tho officers are notaDiy taller than the men a fact which the German sharpshooters were not slow to discover and which slml larity of uniforms cannot hide. I noticed that many of tho officers were very young, and that not a few walked with a limp. This could not be niaaen before the reviewing stand Small wonder! The regiment possessed iu orricers at the outbreak of the war, and has suffered 74 casualties. After the review was a reception for tno orricers. Then while tho rtrlmunt picnicked under the trees, a birthday dinner was held indoors. , The table was not large enough for all. ao only the officers of higher rank were seat ed. The Captains and Lieutenants, ex cept a foreign attache, stood. This fete formed th rnvmlnn e meeting between friends whom war had separated and was pleasant to sea. Those who had received promotion or decoration for distinguished service wore tho recipients of hearty eongratu- innuiin ,,i wnivri iit, BiTrarnncq ot jeai ouay. nraa visible, la particular General Ettor racelved news that ha had been1 appointed ald-de-camp to the Emperor. various toasts were drunk, beginning with the health of the Czar and end ing with the toast to England, the King of England and the British army, in honor of the British military attache. Then, as he stood, the band clayed "Rule Britannia." Then, noticing that an American was present, word was hurriedly sent to the toastmaster to include our country, and similar hurried instructions were sent to the band. The toastmaster gave the toast. "America. President Roosevelt and the American Army." And as I. the sole American, stood. tho young- officers shouted themselves hoarse with fellowship and the band outside strained to the tune of "Too Much Mustard." Somewhat later the toastmaster came to my chair and apologized for his mistake, to which I replied that the mistake was not his. but ours. As we drove back to our headquar ters we saw the regiment at play. Some were playing two villages, the Rus sian ninepins,, some exercising on the parallel bars and tho horizontal bar, while the new recruits had procured the services of some non-commissioned officers and were sr-ndlng their holi day in practicing tho attack, which little fact would havo given me an in sight Into the morale of the army If at this stage of the war I had needed any.
