MEMBERS AGREE TO
REDUCTION OF SALARY
Conference to Be Held at Which
Fate of Theatre Will Be
--$ettled.-'.---A. -
It is the opinion of tha Advertising
Men's league that if the members of the
Columbia Theatre Stock company are
willing to do the fair thing, there will
be no necessity of closing the play-,
house . until Belasco eV Mayer assume
charge of the theatre on July 1. . f -
At a meeting of the league last even
ing tha argument waa put forth that if
word ahould go east to the effect that
Portland could not support a stock com
pany of tha quality of tha Columbia, It
would work injury - to the Lewla ' and
Clark exposition. For this, and other
reasons. It waa' proposed that tha ad
vertising men coma to the. rescue In
some, manner. 'Accordingly, a commit
tee waa appointed to inquire Into the
aituatlon and ascertain what , terma
could be made to keep the company go
ing until the bouse changed hands. Thla
committee - consist of H. C Whittler,
Paul W. Custer and N. L. Shaffer. They
made an appointment to meet Manage
Ballard this afternoon and go aver Con
ditions.1 .Ju.
"This haa been a bad season every
where for amusements,", said Mr. Whit
tler, "and this Is Lent. It waa Impos
ts,
we understand, with auch a salary list
aa he had tl60 weekly).', Now, I've no
doubt the league will give the neceaaary
financial backing to keep thlnga moving
if the actors and actress oa will meet
ua -half way aad agrsa-to ,a reduction
of nalariee. . I talked with several ofJ
thorn last night and they eeeraed per
fectly willing to do anything within
reason to bold tha company together. 1
believe we will succeed In doing it, but
cannot tell definitely until we see Mr.
Ballard." " , - '" " r '
It la auggeated in certain circles that
tha early closing of the company Is be
ing brought about in order that Belasco
Mayer might obtain possession of the
house at once. Whatever' imputation
appears In -this -la hotly resented by Mr.
Ballard, who declares that ma greatest
ambition was to finish - the season,
whether ha made money or not, and 'he
would have dona so had not , hla re
sources suddenly given out.

yesterday by' - Vl Pr-- Baumgartner,

- Shepard went to the union depot fiat
urday afternoon to see a friend ott for
San Francisco.- While lu the waiting
roam he says he decided to alt down and
real. 'A traveling bag was lying on the
seat and he picked It up to move it -to
ona aide. A stranger rushed up, grabbed
him tr the collar and called to a-patrol
man to place him under-arrest for at
tempting-to steal; faia property: ' Shepard
expostulated, but waa taken to the sta
tion and " locked In a eelL - He asked
permiaaion to aend a note, to hla friends
on the steamer, but no one listened to
him. He explained who he. was and how
be happened to be at tha depot, but the
police evidently looked on him . aa a
hardened criminal, and paid no attention
to his .remarks, . .--v-.-.-
In tha meantime tha officers of tl
steamer, aa well aa F. P. Baumgartner,
tha local agent of the line, ware begin
ning to fear that Shepard . , had been
drowned, Jn no other way could they
account Tor nia continued absence. .
"He la not a drinking man" said Mr.
Baumgartner in giving an account of the
affair, - "and never waa la tha habit of
running about tha city after night.. In
fact, ha la one of tha steadiest men I
ever- knew.' .1 . Whea we .had almost
reached tha conclusion that ha had been
drowned we decided to make a seaaeh
for him. - Finally we learned that a man
of hla description waa at tha city jail,
and aura enough when I went there 1
found Shepard.' . , When he explained to
me how It all Jiappened It made me In-
dlgnanc -1 ' want to Judge Hogue, .ex
plained the matter and aaked that the
man be released. ,'
.'The arresting "officer certainly does
not understand his bualneaa; When he
placed Shepard under arrest he ahould
have . held his accuser for a witness,
but Instead of that ha permitted him to

positive that he - was telling tha truth

he swore three as tha limit, and that
they had td change from ona box to an
other -on account of, the . Hoor being
