THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. 'MONDAY ' EVENING. MARCH 21, 1910." i, hi I! . u REE LINES OF WORK FOR ROAD Science of Road Building, Road Signs and Organization in : Good Roads Movement. - W ra planning; thre linn of work for food rood In Oreton " said L. Ther kelsen, Jr., on Of the Influential mem bers of the Oron Good Iloads aaaocia- tion, today. "Theaa are: 'To tebch the science of road building. "To erect plain road alfna all over the state. "To organ lie a branch association In every county. 'To this latter Juda Webster, chair man of the .executive committee, will give most of his time, lie will speak In an the counties, as has been aonounaed nd he will proceed to work along- the lines of a carefully laid out campaign. "We expect the good roads bulletin, which Is to be Issued very soon, to have much Influence In teaching the science of good roads. Our ambition Is to In duce all counties to adapt a uniform . syeUu f road building,. To build, say, a boulevard from Portland to the Call fornla line. Is rather Impossible at the present time, but we can Induce coun ties ,to cooperate with each 'other In building uniformly and contlnuoualy the roads which constitute arteries of trade over the state. I thoroughly agree with others who have said that If1 we build good roads that Is, roads that may be used the year around conveniently and build straight through, that develop ment will attend the building and devel opment will be In proportion to the quality of our road building. "I am of the opinion." continued Mr. Therkelfen. "that the automobile asso. riations of the state can be of great help to the Good Roads association In put ting up signs at intersections. It would tie of great help to the automoblllsta. but no more to the automoblllsta than to any one else who travels. "There Is nothing more Important to Oregon than good roads. There Is nothing more worth the while of good rnlz'-ns than to cooperate In good roads building." ' "STUBBORN CINDERELLA" AMUSING; "THE ALASKAN" AT THE BAKER Musical Comedy at Bungalow Animated and Fluffy Play, of Three Acts. Exhume Body Second Time. it nltid Pre.. Leased Wire.) raris. Mo., March 21. It was learned here today that the body of Professor J. T. Ynuglin was exhumed for the sec ond time In Monroe City. The body was disinterred yesterday on the request of relatives of Vaugftn's widow, who, with Lir. Hull. Is chargrd Jointly with having poisoned Vaughn. It is reported that a portion of the spinal column and the tongue of the dead man were removed. The parts were taken to Rt. Louis by Dr. (leorge BUM of Klrksville. who Is reported to have performed the opera tions. It is said Mrs. Vaughn's attor neys expect to find a cancer at the root of Vaughn's tongue. It is alleged that ht stated that a man with such a disease would be better off dead. This, It Is said, will be offered as evidence In sup port of the theory that Vaughn com mitted suicide. '.. ' By B. I. Homer , B. Mason and "A Stubborn Cinderella," filled the. Bungalow last niffht 'With a big and admiring audience. This musical comedy Is not very differ ent from the usual Hough, Adams and Howard offering, for It Is true that they are all very much alike. It Is also true that they usually possess a fund of catchy, frothy music and witty dia logues and ' are always entertaining. This particular edition Is an animated and fluffy conceit of three acts (Inci dentally, two sets Is about the proper length for musical comedy), that with out, beating over any new. paths , unfolds pretty love story, breathing the at mosphere of the college .cutup and In volving many amusing sbsurdltles. Lady Leslie, the- daughter of an earl. has been brought up via the convent in utter Ignorance of the world, and its people, and is an ; Interesting ' example of unsophisticated youth, ijhe la ea gaged to the rjrahff IJiuke'floris of Rus sia, and with an aunt and an array of body guards Is traveling through Amer ica, when she meets "Mac," a lively col lege youth, and loves him et first sight. Pretending to be a great sculptor, Mac" Is Invited to travel with the party, In order that he may model an mage of Lady Leslie. Complications nnumerable come of It all. with a final sweeping away of obstacles. Lady Ien lle gnd "Mac" take the final curtain in ach other's srms, pledging their love In perfectly sophisticated fashion. Homer B. Mason, as "Mae, Is a wholesome player, easy and sure, never obtrusive, anfl ever In the picture. With hlc and clever comedy, he unronscious- y dominates every situation and makes n Immediate hit. Mr. Mason Is by on odis the flower of th production. Miss Carolyn Lllja is the Iidy Leslie nd has the advantage of a delicately prettv and true voice. Her acting Is naffected and sincere. A well rounded and telling character ization was that of Ocorse K. Romaln as Colonel Hunt, the spluttering guar dian of Cinderella. A sprightly girl with nimble toes and saucy ways Is Miss Reusle Merrill, who played Iols with an abandon and vivacity that Kalned Instantaneous favor. Frank Car ter as "Skeeter," a college rowdy. Is a clever dancer. One of the funny bits, splendidly executed, was furnished by Charles Wilson as an engineer, with an avalanche of pessimism. The chorus Is not especially notable for pulchritude or accomplishments and walks perfunctorily through unattrac tive chorus effects. They are a shabby looking and poorly trained lot. Mr. Singer of the Princess Amusement com pany has not been generous In mount ing or costuming. Gus Weinberg Is Hit of Extrav aganza at Baker Theatre; ' Week's Engagement. f''' .' l '. By, A. L. ."The Alaskan," musical extravaganza, which opened a week's engagement at the Baker yesterday, la much better at popular prices than at Bungalow prices. In fact, from the standpoint of popular prices, It la a very goo attraction. There la far jess to "The Alasksn" than to many ot the so-called musical melanges, and In spite of the strenuous efforts of the comedians there are some genuinely dull moments. The music Is the saving grsco and I; really of a very high order, although not of the "catchy" variety. CJus Weinberg Is by far the best In the cast and, as Professor Knicklebeln, delighted his audience. Richard Carrol should be given the credit for working hard snd scoring a near hit when lis sang his funny song 1n the second act. John R. Phillip has a very pretty and pleasing velce. He was much better to look upon as "The Man In the Moon" In "The Land' of Nod." But his happy smile snd fascinating eyes are still with him. Detmar Poppen may be picturesque, but st all times be demonstrates with painstaking care the fact that large bodies move slowly. His voice Is a compensation, however, and his songs were very populsr. Jessie Ptoner is pretty and with a comfortable soprano voice she was In high favor with the audience. Allen Kean wore one pretty gown which some what made tip for work that was not particularly pleasing. The "Snowball ing" song, sung by Miss Lockhart snd the chorus. Is one of the hits. Theau dlcnce Joined In with a will and the song was encored a number of times. The chorus contains some very good voices and the ensemble work Is good. Remarkable to say. there Is one black haired girl In It who Is not only Very pretty, but who knows how to put on an artistic makeup. Such being unusual In the chorus, seems worthy of men tion. "The Alaskan" will be at the Raker' all week with the usual matinees Wednesday and Saturday. 1SUA1EN N CHURCH ,1 K Bishop Scadding Tells of Aims , of Laymen's Missionary-Movement.

"The Church and the Laymen's Mis sionary Movement," was the subject of the sermon delivered by Right Rev. Charles Scadding, Bishop of Oregon, at St. David's church yesterday. He said in part: "The Laymen's Missionary Movement comes to Portland next week, and un less men are fully Instructed in, and clearly grasp, its Intention, scope artd spirit, they will misunderstand lta work ings and miss Its uplifting fores. The movement, begun In the L'nlted States In January of 1907, Is an Inspiration, not an administration. Its sole aim Is to act, as an awakening Impulse to a more generous support of mlslsonary en deavor by every layman, and to enlist his active cooperation In this work In his own parish. .'.The movement however, -has nr been confined to the United States and Canada. By invitation of various Brit ish missionary societies, a deputation of six laymen, two of whom were churchmen, was sent to London last May. The archbishop of Canterbury, at Lambeth palace, and Bishop Montgom ery, the secretary of the gospel, also received the deputation, snd In their respective chapels commended them and the movement to the blessing of God. Keon Interest of Churches. "The sttltude of the Episcopal church toward the movement Is, for the most part, that of keen Interest and sympathy and cooperation, even If in details we cannot follow out fully the Ideas of the originators. Because of her truly catholic heritage and position, she re alizes her catholic dutynd privilege to cary the gospel Into all the world. Some of our greatest bishops, like Bishop I la 11 of Vermont, Anderson of Chicago, Nichols of California snd our Presiding Bishop Tuttle, are foremost In tnelr leadership In having the church stand shoulder to shoulder with other Christian friends whose energy, zeal and liberality for missions have re ceived evident tokens of the divine ap proval and blessing. "We who hold the catholic, faith in Its well-rounded proportions, and try to Jive in the unity of spirit and bond of peace, who know the power of a divinely appointed ministry, and ,ne sacramental life, have so much to share with others that of all men we should be most mis sionary, as well as the most Datient and the most loving. Wo JTsw Machlnary. "The strong feature of the Laymen's Missionary movement is that It Intro-1 duces no new machinery, does not send out missionaries or administer mission ary funds, but seeks to cooperate with the regularly establlsned agenclea of . the church In the extension of their I work. It is not a vain attempt to bring' about church unity upon a cheap and chimerical plan of exchanging courtesies by exchange of pulpit. The movement la by laymen, to laymen, for laymen, i It is a manly, simple, direct movement I of man to man. The Idea Is to create or arouse and vitalize In Christian men a sense of responsibility for the mis sionary work of tiie church of which he claims to be a member. "The Episcopal Laymen's Church Ex tension conference will be held In St. David's church on Thursday, March 31, at 8 p. m. The best work will be done in the sectional conferences, when the i laymen in each parish rouse themselves j to do more for their parish, for the dio cese and for the church at large. The mass meetings will furnish Information about the foreign field, and stir up zeal for the cause." METHODISTS LEAD IN REGISTRATION CONIES I A spirit of friendly rivalry hns devel oped among local churches for regis trations of attendance at the lay men missionary movement conventlcn, which Is to be held In Portland March 29, 80 and 31. At the present time the Methodists lead, with 47 registrations. The Baptists come next with 40 regis trations, and the Episcopalians third, with 21 registrations. Other denomina tions are In the following order: Congregational, 12; Presbyterian, 10; Friends, 8; United Presbyterian, i; Evangelical, 1. Dr. C. L. Rhoades spoke to the Bap tists concerning the scope and purposes of the laymen's missionary movement at the White Temple yesterday morning. afternoon and evening. C. V. Vlckrey will come to Portland Wednesday to hold a series of similar meetings with the Methodists of Portland. Members of the denomination will entertain Mr Vickrey at luncheon Wednesday. T. M. Stead will reach Portland Thursday and will speak to the Pres byterians. The purpose Is to explain to all denominations what the laymen's missionary movement Is expected to do n the way of awakening enthusiasm for foreign missions among all denomi nations. Leaders of the movement will probably arrive In the city the latter part of this week, and will speak from the pulpits of Portland churches next Sunday. Woodland Fruit Growers Meet.
