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.

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.
ONE MORE NATIONAL
CONVENTION IN SIGHT
The leading editorial of "Selling
Electricity,", a New York publication
devoted to the electrical trade, dis
cussed the advantages Portland offers
for housing the 1912 convention of the
National -Electric Light association.
Backed by Portland men prominent in
electrical concerns, R. W. Raymond,
chief of the convention bureau of the
Portland Commercial club, interviewed
the president, secretary and executive
committee members of the association
on his recent trip to the east, with the
result that a committee of three was
named to Investigate Portland's Claims
for the convention. Mr. Raymond has
Secured the Indorsement of the coast
commercial bodies fojr the Portland
convention and they will back up the
claims of the Rose City.
