Eequest Special Songs
"of the Great Diva.
Tha mere ; announcement that
Madams Nordlca would sing on the
Thursday evening; program of tha New
York Symphony orchestra under her
old friend, Walter Damrosch, has been
enough to flood the diva's mall with
special requests for certain old and
new favorites, which ; the writers have
at some time heard the great prima
- donna ' sins;.:' . " " '.. - -
The first plan was for her to give
simply ' Wagnerian numbers on tha
Wagner program Thursday evening, but
being about, the most gracious and
obliging personage that any one could
imagine, M me. Nordlca finds herself
rather, overwhelmed with the flood of
letters and notes asking, even begging,
for certain songs. No doubt she will
accede to the popular demand and not
only present some of her famous Wag
nerian songs, but give a group of some
certain period, or composer, or per
haps two or three special favorites: for
certainly the demand for this is enough
to cause the singer to stop and con
sider, even were, she not always ready
and glad to oblige her audiences every
where. Tomorrow evening at the armory the
first Of the three great orchestral con-
certs by Walter Damrosch and his New
10m Bympnony orcnestra win be
given, and there will be a tremendous
house to greet the famous conductor,

COLORED GENTLEMAN JUMPS
WHEN VESUVIUS EXPLODES
"Notice Personal 119,090 reward and
no question asked. ' If anyone sees a
dark-complexioned citizen, of . 'Naples'
headed due north, and bearing a lycopo
dlum torch and other valuable property,
and will turn him back, ha will earn
the undying gratitude of the advertiser.
When last seen the missing man was
headed toward the river, and was mak
ing 40 feet to the lope and about 16
knots to the hour. 'Address Pain's 'Ve
suvius,' Multnomah athletio field, Port
land." .. - ,
If ever there was an astonished col
ored gentleman, it was Jeff Jackson
of Heroulaneum, Alabama, when "Vesu
vius" erupted about 10 o'clock last night.
To most of the resldenta of. "Naples"
ft" litWethinf Jike the eruption of a
volcano was an every-day, or rather an
every-night, affair. But Jeff Jackson
had Just come up from Alabama, where
there was nothing more explosive than
cotton mills, moonshine and sugar cane,
except in the rolling; mills, and he had
served an apprenticeship in one of them
He had heard that there - was big
money oO cents a night or something
like that) in carrying a torch, and he
let the other Neapolitan citizens under
stand that when it came to "dog-gone
torch bearin'." there wasn't a man in
"old Alabamyt who could hold a can
dle, leastwise a torch, to old Jeff Jackson,-'
:.
Invested In a toga and placed In com
mand of one of those lycopodlum torches
which you swish to and fro to make
them burn and which flare according
to the amount of wind blown againat
mem, ne was placed in tbe procession,
but by some oversight the meaning ,oi
the catastrophe waa not explained to
mm. -. .:
When the noisy eruption and earth
quake took pjace, and the populace ran
io ana iro, screaming in simulated ter
ror, Jeff Jackson took It for the real
thing and broke from cover In dead
earnest. Wild with terror, he scaled
the exposition fence and sprinted north
ward at a pace little lesa tnan phe
nomenal. As he ran. the swaying torch
marked his progress with a flare of
light which would have excited ad
miration, had not the beholders been
busy watchinj the apectaclejwlthln the
enclosure.
North end citliens declare that they
saw' some one in a toga doing quick
atunts tnrougn tna streets oz roruana
and yelling as though a ghost or a band
of kuklux was after him and that he
seemed- quite bereft of reason. Jeff
Jackson was missed Immediately after
tbe fireworks display and inquiries were
made for him. The management is es
pecially solicitous for the missing toga
and torch, but so far as could be learned
Jeff Jackson was still running and he
may be running yet. Hence the reward
that is offered for his safe return to
"Vesuvius.".

man Ulley, who forced the sensational
submarine, boat lobby investigation by
congress. Issued a statement from , his
home here today that Congressman Bou
tell of Illinois tried to "call him off
by Influence brought to bear through
Lllley'a physician and Mrs. Lllley.
Lilley-declares that he was opposed at
every side In his fight and that he
acted alone and unaided and fought as
long as he could for public welfare. He
says he could not withdraw the" charges
because he believes they are truev'
The statement includee a letter which
waa written to Mrs. Lilley by Dr. Rai
sin ger, which in part is as follows: I
"congressman Boutell has proponed
to me that I talk over the matter with
Mr. Lilley and explain to htm the high
opinion that the members of the com
mittee hold for him personally.' He
suggested that I tell Mr. Lilley that
absolutelv nothing has been proved and
gat him to withdraw the charges. If
the charges were withdrawn everything
would end right there and everyone
would be aatlsfled."
Llllev claims that the failure of the
Investigation was not because . It waa
impossible to prove his charges, but be
cause of the powerful Influences brought
