Mr. Peabody died after three operations for the removal of a growth on the brain, his illness causing the postponement of his mar riage to Miss Deacon many times. Her sister, Dorothea, now the Prin cess RadztwiU of Poland, is leading an unhappy life 1n Rome, denied rec ognition by her husband's family, and her other sister, Gladys, who once ex cited an Infatuation in the heart of the Crown Prince of Germany, is said to b now In love with, a noted Eng lish nobleman, whom she cannot marry JOY RIDERS NO LONGER WILL GO SCOT FREE The curtain Was rung down at the last session of the legislature on "Joy riders" who have made a habit of bor rowing automobiles from their owners or from garages where they were em nloved. ..... , in order to convict Joy riders in the past it has been' necessary to prove that there was an. intent to steal the machine. This was in nearly all cases impossible, and as a result the habit has flourished to no small extent in Pprtland. There are several instances on record here in the past two years where "Joy riders" of this variety not only destroyed the autos they had bor rowed, but brought tbout their own deaths. The new law makes it unnecessary to show sn intention of committing lar ceny in order to Obtain a conviction. It is only necessary to show that the party accused took the machine or was a party to its taking. This applies to chauffeurs who borrow the automobiles of their employers without the knowl- iha iatuffAtmnltM. onment of two years in the penitentiary Is provided in the act for the punish ment ' of violators,- or a -f ine of $600,' but for first offenses the court at its discretion may- reduce the punishment to a term of not more than three months In the county Jail, or fine of not more than $100. " In the same act rigid regulation ef the operation of automobiles by all persons Is made. One important fea ture is that the numbers of all ma chines must be registered with the sec retary of state, and these are to be changed annually, with a distinct color for the number plate each year. ' At night the owner of a machine must arrange a lamp in the rear so as to shall pass "horses on the road is pre scribed, and a speed limitation of not more than 25 miles an hour outside of the city limits is fixed. Chauffeurs are required to-register with the secretary of. state. Should complaint be made against any of them the secretary of state is obliged to hold a hearing, and if the chauffeur In his opinion is convicted of any violations of the law the license must be revoked. Should a chauffeur or any other person be convicted the 4agistrate must send notice of the conviction to the secretary of state. The latter must then send the name of the violator to the county clerk of every county. In this way a record of offenders will be had in each county, and persons concerned may be dealt with accordingly. All fees collected by the. secretary of state under the law, which are expected 'will m sKreRHie more man iso.ooo a year, be turned into the general fund aiver ine secretary nas aeaucted ex penses for number plates, stationery and other articles used to carry out the provisions. It Is the ultimate Inten tion, however, to divert this money lnte a fund to be used, for constructing per manent roads.

ULIlllHHUipim i I Orpheum Bill This Wjeek, How ever, Leans Strongly to Comedy Offerings. . By A. L. Comedy offerings by the wholesale and one act, Bernard and Weston that stands out "like a lighthouse in a storm," Is probably th memory that an average 4 audience would have of the now bill at the Orpheum this week. Mike Bernard doe exceptional work at the piano, both in measures of rag time and classical. Willie Weston is one of the" best character singers thRt has graced the Orpheum in many moons. . He ranges from Italian to Scotch. German to coon rag and plain comedy. The act bears the stamp of fart in every particular and-launqueax tlonably the big hit of thb blU Vying In favor with the audience for next place were the four Hunting tons, Iola Merrll and Frank Otto, and Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Barry. The HunV ingtons" while away 10 minutes, with fair patter, plenty of action, a few good acrobatic turns and- entertaining dancing. One of the best features is the facial expression of Tony Hunting ton. Molly Huntington knows how to dance and how to dress to perfection. There are plenty of laughs and the act goes well. - Lola Merrill and Frank Otto present "After the Shower," which gives them opportunity for breesy flirtatious pat ter and some good Jokes which register. Mr. Otto's singing can be pardoned if it gives Miss Merrill time to change into the lovely white flufflness and plumes in which she. makes her final' bow. One wishes they would sing less and.. dance, more. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Barry appear In Mr. Barry's rural skit, "At Hensfoot Corners." Mr. Jimmy hands New York a few bouuuets, springs some laugns tnd sings "I'd Rather Be a Dude than a City Chap." Mrs. Jimmy is mostly a feeder" and their big hit Is some flirtation pantomime. The Fire Commissioner' is the only serious thing on the bill although it has its frivolous moments.- It tells a tale of graft and corruption in high places and has some Intense moments but its weak construction toward the finish mars. It is well acted by dainty Marlon Day, Frederick Watson, Her bert Sears and Milton Boyle. An offering that won instant favor was Miss Corlnne Frances, who was pretty and did nothing much but sing three songs and do a little dance step. It was her charming personality and marked refinement which scored at once. t The bill was opened by Frank and Rose Gordon who carry a good drop, engage In some tomfoolery, do a good twist or two and finish with acrobatic dancing.
