BELASCO AND MAYER LIICE THEIR PROPERTY Meanwhile a Race Across Continent la On te Secure Possession of in dependent" Contracts Which Hay Later Concern Portland. ' - :f As "a representative of Consldlne Bulllvan. John F. Cord ray la speeding eastward. Tomorrow he will be fol lowedaye, even pursued by a repre sentative ef "Pop" Russell. .. They are both after a contract with the "Independents" for Seattle, pri marily, and Spokane, Portland Taooma, after that. In a conference bold yes terday, before the race across tbe con tinent began, M. E. Mayer of Belaaoo Mayer, told Russell that he wanted 120 a week rental for the Belaaoo the atre. Otherwise he said., the houae would be eloaed Indefinitely.- ' I will simply place a lock en each door of the theatre," said Mr. Mayer. ' The price demanded by Mr. Mayers was somswnat beyond Mr. Russell's ex pectations but the race Is onj neverthe less. While Russell would have the Be la co possible to' depend upon la this city, in case be secures a contract with the Independents, Consldlns's agent sen offer the Grand locally, and houses In the; other towns named which a re at presenatfollewtng the same policy as the Grand. . ; i "Theirs win never be another theatre In town under our management." Mr. Mayer of the firm of Belaaoo ft Mayer made the above statement last svenlng; and - with emphasis. "We have closed the house for good. so far as wo are concerned," said he. "and If anybody la looking for a chance to Invest in! the property he can readily enter negotiations by addressing 8ena-J tor Joseph. Simon of the firm of Dolph, Maliory, tuaun at Oeartn. . "We are dosing for the very simple and understandable reason that we have lost S14M00 In-It weeks," continued Mr. Mayer. "The city of Portland. t seems, will not support a stock com pany of this caliber, no matter what the productions are, and . although we have doae our best, the ease seems hopeless. - "As a real estate venture, we are perfectly satisfied. We have been of fered more money than "we Invested In the property, but still we will not sen until we vet a -price that will fairly clear as ef eur losses. - In ths meantime It may hs stated that Mr. Mayer came te Portland with a cigar In his pocket and still has ths price of a smoke. He also occupied a drawing- room in a puuman on nis journey. "And X want to say." he resumed, "that we will not ewe a penny when we quit this city. Every account Will be paid In full, for, aitnougn it may suggest eon' celt, I must, add that the firm has the price to settle for anything it under takes." - Russell asserted yesterday that the antl-ayndlcate people would agree to put up a bond guaranteeing that St high class performances would be furnished the house during the first 'year If ths Independents secured It" The fact re mains, howsver, that there will be a warm race across the continent and still warmer Interview with pave Belasco and the Schunarts 'between coraray Russell's agent for possession of the house and the Independent booking. ru oaaooa vim rows . - BAILWAT 00MAbT. . .A HOTEL EvSTACADA RATES t n rrnoT raoat nrmn a Lasstaf wnasteekfaat I S IwiM kor per day.......

Van Draa Express Deepest Indignation Over OreroniaA'a Charge Against Miss Monteith. Kaspar Tad Dran. victim of sorrows such as rarely fall te the lot of man, will find a final resting place at Albany, beside the body of his wife, whose tragic death Ave months ago clouded ths brief remainder of his days, . . Twe weeks age Tea Draa telephoned de his sister-la-law. Mlas Mantel ta, say ing -that he bad visited the grave of his wife; at Albany aad bad found that tbe grass .would not stow over the mound. He bad given orders te have a railing erected around the plat and asked Miss Montelth's advice aa te having the grave covered with cement. His anxiety te And some outward ex pression of the consuming sorrow which preyed upon JiHa was In keeping with his utterances te a number ef his friends. Possibly evea thea he . was meditatlng'taa desperate act which was te ens his troubles, aad 'foresaw the near approach of the day when be should a ha re ths little plat la the Al bany cemetery. . - "There la nothing left for jne te live for," he said sadly to his attorney, J. M, Long, only a few days age, and there were others te vhW he spoke la the same vein. . : The autopay, performed by Dr. Mary B. Parker, ahowed that Kaspar Van Pran's death . waa the result of swal lowing cyanide ef potassium, the same deadly drag which caused the death of his wife, less than Ave months ago, Where hie procured the poison Is not known. Indeed, ae effort seems te have beea made by the police te gaoertala this fsct. . v The body will he taken te Albany on the l:SS train this morning. Oeorge Van Draa, a brother, and M. S. and W. J. Monteith. brothers of Mrs. Van Dran, will accompany the remains. Ths funeral will be under tbe auspices of the Albany Lodge of Elks. A telegram received yeaterday afternoon from Chris Vaa Dran, another brother, who re-. sides at Albany, stated that the ar rangements for the funeral had been made, and that It would take plaoe at 1:S otlock this aftsmooa. Kaspar Vaa Draa was a member of the Pendle-1 ton Lodge of . Elks. Several Portland Elks will attend the obsequies. I Among the relatives ot both Kaspar and Mrs. Vaa Draa the keenest tndlgna-1 tion Is expressed on account of aa edl-1 torial published yeaterday ta the Ore-1 goftlan, which virtually charged Mlas Minerva Monteita wita tne aiuing ex her sister, Mrs. Van Dran. "Ne one who lctiawtheml both will believe for an Instant that' Mine Mon teith could have committed such a hor rible crime," said Oeorge Vaa Drsa, "The charge seems le me te be CJiw- Inally libelous. Miss Monteith and Mrs, Van Dran were devoted te one an other." . Watt 3. Monteith denounced In the bitterest terms the aoousatloa against his sister. ' There could not have beea twe sis ters more loving than they were," he said. VMrs. Vsa Dran wag like a mother to Minerva, and was always do ing things for her. Ask everyone who knew them and they will all tea yew the same thing." t Assistant District Attorney Ous ,C Moeer. who subjected Miss Monteith to a rigid examination Immediately after her sister's death, has been outspoken In expressing his thorough ' conviction that she Is Innocent of the remotest re sponsibility for the crime. . Coroner-Flnley, who visited the Van Dran apartment Immediately after the tragedy and held the Inquest. Is equally positive la his declaration that the Or egonlan's accusation against Miss Mon teith Is cruelly unjust , - ,, Watt Monteith crlticlaes the police for allowing Chase to leave the country, and believes that ha might throw strong light on ths mystery of Mrs, Van Dran's death. ' ' . There has been some speculation as to ths valus of Kaspar Van Dran's estate. In all probability it Is very email. Hla business was unprofitable for several months ''past, and-his troubles Involved him In hesvy expense. He sold his sa loon at a heavy sacrifice only two or three weeks ago, Some estimates have placed the value of his estate at 111.004. but It Is probable that this figure le much too hlgh.-No effort will be made to learn the exact value Of hla estate until after the funeral. , i ' . . FIVE PEOPLE MISSING REPORTED TO POLICE :"""""""""""r 1 ' : The police were asked ' to locate six missing persons yesterday. H.
