II I
Han by Name of Anderson Said to
Be Passing Checks.
The detective are scouring every
nook and corner of the city for a man
by the name of A. J. Anderson, who la
believed to be one of the moat clever
forger the city has eyer been troubled
with. He passed a check. It Is alleged;
on 8. C. Blngletary of SOI Cast Morri
son street Saturday, the check being en
dorsed by J. Bmlth. It was for $10.
The detectives are at a loss to know
who the man Is, as it Is thought he is
operating under an assumed name. That
lie has done other Jobs, there Is every
reason to believe, for he writes a smooth,
clear hantM and passes off the checks
with an unconcern known only to the
clever criminal.
Unless the forger leaves the city im
mediately It in expected that he will be
arrested, as the detectives have good
clue.

Advance Statement on Report of
" Secretary ol State Dunbar
-Strange Showing
The report of Secretary of State bun
bar, when it la issued, will auow-that
during the year 1(01 the sum of S17,
7S7 was paid Into the Treasury of the
SUM of Oregon as a result of the per
cent, tax on paid Insurance policies. In
addition to this, there wmJ the sum total
of the licenses paid by the various com
canles. which brought the receipts to
the state from the life insurance busi
ness above the 120,000 mark.
Each company is compelled to submit
to the Seoretary of State an exact re
port of all business transacted and from
these reports the following statistics
have been compiled: ' ,
Karrest rrosa Death.
Residents of the State of Oregon dur
ing "theyear "1801 collected the sum of
Z61,024.7 as the result of deaths. This
sum waa paid to the people by IS com
panies, two of a total of 17 companies
operating not being called upon to allow
a claim. The largest losses were paid
by the New Tork Life Insurance Com
pany, which distributed $44,238.72. The
Penn Mutual was close behind in this
race, having paid out $43,670.
During 1802 the insurance "written"
or issued in the Bute of Oregon amount
ed to $7,812,701. Only one company out
of 17 feU below $10,000 In the total of
policies Issued, and but one climbed
above the million mark. The latter was
the Penn Mutual. The Equitable Com
pany approached very close to the gi
gantic figure or ii.Qoo.oou, naving
117 on Its books for the business of the
year in Oregon, tsui tore ieu . oeiow
$100,000, and six went over the half-million.
Cancellations for the year amounted
to $3,462,283, no one company mounting
to the $600,000 total in this particular,
but all standing fairly even in the race.
Tae Oala for the Tear.
Over the figures of the grand total for
1801 there M a gain during 1802 of
$4,428,242 In the amount of insurance
outstanding In the state.
At the rate of $1,000 per head, this
total would have required that policies
be taken out by 4,428 persons, and had
the policies been written at $6,000 each,
still must have 888 persons been talked
Into the belief that the future of rela
tlves or friends demanded provision for
their maintenance in case of the testa
tor's demise.
Rating the policies at $1,000 each and
the number of persons to whom they
were Issued at 4,428, It will be seen that
the total of $268,024.87 paid by the com
panies on deaths during the year would
have amounted to Just $68,44 per new
policy holder.
WOMAN CHARGED
WITH MURDER
Following close upon the - murder of
Leung John last Friday afternoon came
the death of Lee Wy, another Chinaman,
of some prominence among his brothers
of Chinatown., It Is now said he was
murdered by Ah Wooey, a Chinese
woman with whom he was in love. The
latter is under arrest, cnarged with the
crime. She protests her innocence. -
The dead Chinaman was with Ah
Wooey a long time Friday night and
after coming away took sick. Lee Mee
Gin, one of the wealthiest Chinamen In
the city, asserts that his friend Wy
never recovered from the sickness and
the police believe the woman poisoned
him. She, however, emphatically denies
that Wy had anything to eat or drink
while with her.
Coroner Pinlay Talks.
Coroner Finley, when seen this morn
ing, stated that he would compel an
analyBtB of toe stomach of the deceased
Chinaman.
The mast was not reported to me, as
it sltould 'have been," said the Coroner,
'and I did not know anything of the
death until I read It in a local paper.
Another undertaker secured the remains,
and then had the friends of the dead
man secure a physician to perform the
autopsy. This was done, the the cause
of death was not determined by the
physician, so a death certificate could not
be obtained. I was then called Into the
case, but refused to take any action un
til after the cause of death has been
determined."

-Kate Clazton Tonight,
"Shenandoah. "Secret Service," or
"Barbara Frletchie." which la UT Which
is best of these great war plays, every
on of which carries the alder members
of aa audience back 40 years to the
strife of a Civil War wherein the South
attempted to pluck from the field of
Old Olory each star that represented
a stat below Mason and Dixon's line?

Oo and sea capable artists in "'Secret
Service" and you will say, "A splendid
play." Witness a production of Barbara
Fnetcble by people who know historical
art and you will exclaim, "So pretty, yet
so powerfully pathetic." The Baker
Stock Company did "Shenandoah" last
night, and it's 60 to 1 that all persons in
the crowded house axe glad today they
did net miss it So which is beat? The
action of "Shenandoah" begins with
daybreak of the morning when old Fort
Sumpter was fired upon In 1811. Begins
with a day that might have changed
the history of the world but for the men
and women whose characters were de
Mneated last night In the Baker play
house.
A clean-cut heroic play la "Shenan
doah." Its soldiers are true patriots;
Its women are heroines.
Romance, which ls mad pretty by
tender hearts, and intrigue which creates
a strong dramatic tension, ls the make'
up of "Shenandoah."
So much for the play. The story of
it need not be told, for it is now. a
classic. However, the players cannot
be passed over with a word. It would
be a long sentence that could tell how
well Oeorg Alison played "Colonel Per-
clval West," or how perfect and lov
able did Cathrlne Counties appear aa
"Gertrude," the Southern girl who divid

Battle of Winchester In this play has
gained a world-wide reputation for dra
matic effect. It carries tru to the his

Finally, "Shenandoah" ls exceedingly
well done, over at the Baker, and will

"Darkest Boor," at Cordray's.
Any attraction ls good in which
Charles A. Gardner appears, and "The
Darkest Hour," which opened yesterday
at Cordray's with two crowded houses.
Is no exception. Mr. Gardner ls a Ger
man comedian of high order, known In
every city In the East as a "curtain
raiser, and a dosen years ago came
near supplying the place left vacant by
the death of Frits Emmet.
Yesterday afternoon the audience was
kept waiting nearly an hour after the
regular time for the opening of the
matinee. The delay was explained by an
unavoidable lateness of the train trans
porting the company. It was then that
Sam DrlBcoll made himself very agree
able and with several beautiful orches
tral selections kept the big crowd In
good humor.
Coming back to the entertainers be
hind the footlights It can be said they
are playing In a misnomer, for as sure
as twice two is four, there ls nothing
dark about "The Darkest Hour." It's
play brlmfull of wit and humor, with
few attempts at dark deeds, but there
Is really nothing doing In that line, for
nobody ls killed and every member of
the company is alive when the curtain
is rung down in the last act.
Charley Gardner as "Fritz Hoffmlere,'
and Blanch Boyer as "Kitty O'Shohesy,"
are the run makers. Fritx sings with a
pleasing high tenor voice "When We
Were Sweethearts" so well that he is
compelled to respond with a German
character song, "Lena." No better work
of this nature has been done in Port
land this season. Miss Boyer, while
lacking in Irish brogue, which her char
acter calls for, makes good by clever
dancing, and at times ls as good in jig
work as the lamented Kitty O'Neill, who
danced a no woman ever danced be
fore or since. Jack. F. White and Jean
Harlan gave a pretty comedy sketch
which was encored to a finish.
Several beautiful stage settings add
to the attractiveness of the play, one
in particular ls the garden scene at Dr.
Dunnlng'S house. It' is in this garden
that the real live baby Oray is stolen
from its mother by John Gray, the
uncle, but fortunately the tiny piece of
humanity falls into the hands of Frits
and. the villain is foiled again.
Lincoln J. Carter's railway scene ls
about as realistic a bit of stage work
as exists. A full vestlbuled train leaves
tha hustling scenes at the depot and

The Two Orphans," by Kate Claxton
tonight, Tuesday ani Wednesday nights
at the Marquam Grand Theatre. It is
still one of the strongest plays now be
fore the public. No play less excellent
could have Journeyed up and down the
length and breadth of the country these
many years and have maintained me
friendly relations with all sorts and
conditions. It is a kind, sweet siory, as
all the world knows, and that ls why
the public never falls to give it a pleas
ant greeting as it comes our way. Miss
Claxton's performance of "Louise," the
blind girl, has been a dramatlo classic
for many years. Her supporting com
pany ls said to be far above the aver
age, and a full and elaborate scenlo
production of this popular play is promised.
"The Wisard of the HUe."
The box office of tne Marquam till
be open tomorrow at 10 o'clock for the
redemption of the coupons which have
been sold for "The WUard of the Nile."
