TRAL COMMITTEE, SPEAKS
OF MR. ABBOTTS LETTER.
In conversation with ex-Officio
Chairman W. F. McGregor, of the
Clastop County Republican Central
Committee, yesterday, an Astorian
reporter asked that gentleman what
he intended to do in regard to the
open letter of K. A. addou, puo-
lished on Sunday morning last in
these columns, to which Mr. McGreg
or responded, in part, as follow;
"With all due respect to Mr. Ab
bott and hit expressed wishes, I am
not sure that it would be exactly in
my sphere of duty to peremptorily
summon the Central committee at
the single instance of even so good a
Republican at is Mr. Abbott; and 1
am rather inclined to consult wun
others before taking any definite
steps that might conflict with the
purposes of the State Central Com
mittee. -
"I believe it to be essential also to
find out what the State committee de
sires to be done, in order that we may
work in complete harmony and terve
the larger and wider purposes of tbe
party in the State and conform to
such acceptable program as may be
adopted for the general good of Re
publican Oregon. When I shall have
heafid from headquarter sources and
know the line of action desired, I
shall act at promptly as anyone can
desire."

THE STAR THEATRE.
The second week of the engagement
of the Donald Bell Co. opened with
the comedy drama "Frenzied fi
nance" which was greeted by a full
house. The play is a pretty one in
which pathos and comedy are neatly
blendid. Ethel Tucker, as Mary Law
ton, sustained the character in her
usual admirable manner, while Ann
Phillips and Pearl Lee McCowell
were very acceptable. Victor Donald,
as James Errol, and Raymond Bell as
Andrew Burke, were fine, and the bal-

were ably handled. The second act
showing the attic bedroom of the i

surroundings, won the audience, the ;
act was loudly applauded at its close. ;
Taken as a whole the play was a
success and will tend to increase the
buisness at this theatre. "Frenzied

Thursday night when it will make
way for "Sandy Bottom" for three
nights which in turn will be fol
