Uatlon - In the United States Was the
" epeeclv of Howard Elliott at a banquet
j" following the dedication of the new
(Northern Pacific depot In this city, Bat
; urday night" Mr, Elliott scored the
legislatures' and congress, -which, he
said, had been making matters difficult
t for the railroad companies and for the
j nation. Ho stated that the delay in
building- ; the' proposed Ellnsburg-Rltz-
villa cutoff on the Northern ' Pacific,
. which ;wa surveyed last . spring, was
i directly due to a hostile foelhig ex
'' pressed by the president of the nation,
'sot the president at Washington, to
'' ward the railroads of America. '
; t Judge George T. Reld of Tacoma, gen
eral western counsel for the Northern
i Pacific, emphasized the remarks made
by Mt4 Elliott, saying in part: 1
f 'It is the since ro desire of the North
ern Pacific to render' good-service, and
(abetter servloe would be rendered by
,the road If lesa limitations were put
? 1 upon us by the- people. . Yoo apple
; 5 growers raise dollars on trees. A rail
road cannot do that. It rpust borrow
P and-it ' must sell stock. !5 . . " , ,
"There is no depression in the rall-
. road ' world, but there certainly is a
Vi slowing-up, caused by this ceaseless
agitation, which will in time affect
' all of you. It ia aad but true that the
J' meeting; of congress and of some legis-
i lo fit . I m rmA tmnn wUh AeiA nt

While-being driven down Washing
ton street at an eafly hour! yesterday
morning an automobile -belonging . to
the . Port fannlIlaiJk-Qke company
skidded" intd k : t6lephone pdle "near the
intersection" of , Ella street and was
completely demolished. The occupants
of the car, George E. "Hlgglns. assistant
superintendent, bf the Portland Gas &
Coke company, and two companions, a
man and a. woman, were thrown out and
badly bruised. f.;;j
Hlgglns,, when asked this morning con
cernlng the accident,? said he , didn't
know he had ever been in an accident
or. that ,there had been an accident. It
was noticeable, however, that In walking
he had decided limp. Other than that
statement Hlgglna refused to say any
thing, either r concerning the -cause of
the accident or of the Identity of his
companions. " - -
According to Superintendent Mao
Donald of the gas company, Hlgglns
uses the car In the mains and service
department Their business hours are,
from av nv till 6:80, however,-and
no 'explanation of Hlgglns having had
the car out after hours was given. ;
The accident happened at. 3:30 Sunday
morning. Hlgglns was driving. Ac
cordlng to the only witness of the af
fair, John Wolff, a stationary engl
neer who was at work nearby, the car
came down Washington . street at a
speed which he estimated to be at least
40 miles an hour. At Ella street a tax
icab turned into Washington-street and
Hlgglns In attempting to avoid this car
skidded Into a pole. The car. a 11200
two-passenger affair, was 1 badly
smashed. - The frame was broken and
the wheels . turned so . that but little
remains but the engine. . ' ..;

Francis Richter covered himself with
glory in his piano recital at the Hellig
yesterday , afternoon. His interpreta
tion cf the, big classics wa's so clear and
definite that it is douotful if after the
first few numbers mairy in the audience
gave any thought to the fact that this
young performer at the instrument was
blind totally blind'. 1
His , remarkable performance com
pells one to believe that he sees Infin
itely, more than can be distinguished by
the great majority of artists having the
full use of their eyesight for his read
ing and technique, must be accepted as
phenomenal. .
Yesterday afternoon was stormy the
rain fell In sheets Just as it was time
to start for the Hellig", yet the audience
that gavp; the performer an ovation, as
he stepped upon the:, stage, numbered
nearly B00. It should have been three
times that large, for the theatre holds
that many, but BOO was hot bad, consld:
erlng the feather1 and the fact that the
seats were not auctioned off at $5 or
310 atflece The affair netted about
3400, a neat Htt sum. but about 306
short of what Richter rieeds to start on
a tour of the country.. It is hoped the
balance lWIU be obtained so that ar
rangements may beicompleted as origi
nally Intended, which Include a trip to
Europe next spring to study under
Paderewskl. this world famous artist
having . consented to accept the Port
land boy as a pupil, an honor that falls
to few, since Paderewskl does not teach
or coach for money. ' ,
Getting back to the program, it may
be referred to as perhaps a little too
classical, and consequently somewhat
tiring,' excepting to piano students , or
classic enthusiasts. But be that as it
may, certainly young Richter wielded
hypnotic Influence over r his audience,
which was decidedly musical, ' among-
them being, most of the recognised ar
tlsts of the city, ; .. s. -
it. would be difficult to say which
was the star nfirnber, the program in
cluding the "Fantasia and Fugue in O
Minor," - by Bach-Liszt; Beethoven's
"Waldstein Sonata, Opus 63"; Schu
mann's t "Etude Symphonic": " Chopin'
"Nocturne, Opus 15," two mazurkas and
"Soherso In B Minor"; , Sajnt-Saens
Rlchter's "Fantasle on 'Samson et De
Ilia' "; yMoskowskl's ? ,4Nacbstueck" s and
"Jongleuee," . and. ..Lls-t's rMageppa,'
The Schumann number, especially, was
brilliantly rendered. - - . ; , - a

ful ability to memorise and lmerovise.
Paul Kreider. a pianist, was invited to
play a theme not familiar to Mr. .Rich

theme as correctly as bad he played
from the score, and then drifted Into a
tumult pf variations that only one thus

HETTY. GREEN AT 75 V
ACTIVE IN BUSINESS
New- Tork, Nov. , 11. .Mrs. Hetty H.
R. Green, American's most prominent
woman financier, reached her seventy
fifth anniversary today and also
rounded ' out her forty-fifth wear as a
business woman, during which she has
accumulated a fortune variously" esti
mated at from 360,000 J50O to 3100,000,
000. a. The wealthiest . woman in America
started with. a forune of 39,000,000, left
her by her father. This fortune she
has increased many; fold ? by shrewd
business deals and far-sighted invest
ments. Her wealth to widely diversi
fied. She has real estate holdings in
nearly every section of the country and
her mortgages embrace some of the
safest properties In . a chain of cities
extending from coast to coast Railroads,
steamooais. mines, telephones and tele'
graphs also contribute to her Income.
Some, time ago the report was circu'
lated that Mrs. Green Intended to retire
from the active management of .her af
fairs and the arrival of her son, EX H.
R. Green, in New York tended to con
firm the report .But the son has re
turned to Texas and Mrs.' Green, from
all appearances, is as active as ever, so
that the rumors of her prospectfve re
tirement probably had no better founda
tion than similar reports which have
been circulated periodically ever since
the famous financier reached her six
tieth year. v 1 '
