.' San Jose. Cal.. Aug. 1. Beverly B.
Tilden, soldier of fortune, famous In
the world of art and opera, and 18
'.years ago the lionized pet of English
nobility. Is dead at Innlsvale. his beau-
tiful country home near Alum Rock
JPark. Death came as a welcome relief
to the man. whose ill-health haB made
hlm an invalid for the past seven years
and forced him to retire from public life
to seek seclusion in this peaceful val
I ley, far from the scenes of his glories
and his triumph.
- The life of Tilden was crowded with
" romance and adventures such as come
to few men. His father was the late
Colonel William Tilden of New York, a
millionaire. Beverly Tilden, thoufh
Lorn In New York, spent most of his
'life In England, where his wealth and
.talents along operatic lines speedily
' brought him renown. For seven years
" lie was the Beau Brummel of English
society, being taken up by the Duke of
Cambridge and the present Princess of
I Wales. It was he who introduced Lll
. llan Nordlca to the concert world. The
dead man had numbered among his as
sociates Beerbobm Tree. Sir Henry Irv
ing, Sarah Bernhardt and Sybil Sander
son, and the walls of the Tilden man
sion at Innlsvale are covered with auto
graph photos of the world's moat fa
mous celebrities, most of them Inscribed
to ".My dear friend Bob Tilden." Mine.
Nordlca's photo bears the Interesting In
scription, "In memory of my first suc
cess." Tilden was formally presented
to Queen Victoria at the occasion of her
golden Jublleo by Ambassador Phelps.
Mr. Tilden at the time of his death
was 47 years of age and unmarried. It
is related that he was fnsat,v, to w.-d
Sybil Punderson and tin; date for the
nuptials had been formally annou hp d.
The night before the wedding Miss S'in
derson disappeared, leaving England. In
after years the pair met unci be. nmo
warm friends. Seven years ko Tlldn
left New York in company with ('. H
Goldert for years a leading man for
Richard Mansfield. Tlio pair planned
to tour the world. Tilden's health ave

it was decided to remain here In the
hope of regaining the artist's strength.

HOT WEATHER HAS ITS COOLING
EFFECT ON ALL KINDS OF BADNESS
Psychologists long ago declared that
hot weather develops latent criminal In
stincts and that consequently there are
more crimes In the summer month.
Cut the monthly police report for July,
Just completed, does not bear out this
theory.
The average numbr of arrests for
nearly every month of the year is be
tween 1.000 and 1 100 But in July.
I voT. there were only S69 arrests made
tv the Portland police, while the month
just closed showed an even elner
sheet there being only arrests
tooked. Evidently what passes for hot
weather In Portland does not stir the
vicious Instincts in mankind
Drunkenness as usual heads tne list
up. No arrests were made for mnrdor,
the only man to take a life being also
a suicide.
Heedless persons might take warning
from the fact that two arrests w re

Local labor hodlos are acting- Jointly
for the purpose of confinlnjr to the local
field as far as possible all the labor re
quired in carrying; out the extensive
Improvements contemplated by the re
cent large bond lssu.
Very much of this work, such as tho
mnk!ng of the pipe for the new Bull
Run pipe line, the production of the
Iron work for the new Madison street
bridge and doubtless much other mate
rails of lesser magnitude. In connection
with the boulevard and park work that
jnltfht be contracted for in other cities,
uwinir to luck of proper equipment
here, It is thought, should be retained
in the loual field and can he If a proper
sentiment is aroused to that c-nd.
Will Equip If Necessary.
It Is confidently stated by tne labor
bodies that local firms will enuip for
this work If there Is a k!iow of ge-ttlni;
It, and that once so equipped the im
provement w'll be permanent, nnd thus
new enterprises will bo established for
all time, and Portland, instead of giv
ing to others ttie work or making Its
water mains, bridges, hydrants, etc.,
will be in a position to bid -for such
work from other places the same a.s
her work la now being bid for by other
places.
It lg argued by the worklngmen that
money thus taken from tho taxpayers
and circulated in their own local field
will return to them in n wa- that will
more than offset the loss occasioned
by any slight difference in cost were
the money ail Hpent In a distant city.
Some time ago the local iron trades
council memorialized the city authori
ties, asking that the contracts for fire
hydrants be kept at home. It was
shown at that time that previous orders
for fire ny drams In the east had brought
goods that were rejected because faulty,
while hydrants made In Portland wet a
entirely satisfactory and a vury supe
rior article.
The delay In having the defective
nydrants corrected, together with the
loss in suffering the money to be c!t
cuiated in another city, it was cot.
tended, more than offset the sllghllv
higher cost of the "home-made h.j
drants. Sleep Work Hero.
It Is argued, also, that tho nrlnelpnl
cities likely to bid for the Portland
work are such as have unorganized an I
hence unprotected labor, and that the
lower wages forced upon tlm worklnp
men by reason of that fact are largely
the reason of whntever saving will lie
experienced In tho way of lower prices
on the work.
In lino with thesp thoughts a com
hiitteo of six, representing tho local
bollermakers, structural Iron workers
and the building trades alliance, met
In Dre hulldlng on Friday night lust
and resolved to set In motion a move
ment for the creation of public senti
ment In behalf of keeping this work as
far as possible In Portland.
The committee consists of Maurice J.
Kelly, representing the bollermakers; J
L. Ledwldge, business agent of the
building trades alliance; William Noff
ke, secretary of the same organization;
A. W. LowmJIIcr, L. R. Depperman and
W. H Little, representing variously tho
Iron Workers mentioned. The committee
concludes a lengthy and optimistic word
picture of tho future Portland, which
will result from the forthcoming snd
other developments, with thesa words:
"L,ocal firms should be given the pref
erence, all things being equal, and bv
mnklng a special effort the local firms
will secure tho work. With best wishes
for a greater and more prosperous Port
land, we remain " Signed by the committee.
