pol. the timely discovery-of which re
sulted In tha arreat 0M6 seamen and
a potty officer, 10 ofwhom .'were sen
tenced to death and four shot, la only

In one sense .the, conspiracy, had It
tiad time te matuw would have had a
mora amaslngly daring- object In view
than that which led to tha revolutionary
mutiny of tha battleship Knias Potemr
fctn In June, 19Q6V The purpoae of the
tiaval plot (era was' to hold up and aeiza
the imperial yaoht Btandart while the
czar and Imperial family were ' being
convoyed from Yalta to Bebaatopol,
The eaar was to have bean compelled
to abdicate, . or to abrogate hla auto
cratic powera and proclaim a limited
monarchy and a really constitutional
retime. The ' ieiiuro ofthe' Imperial
family was' to have been the signal to
tha mutinous Baltlo squadron, the crews
of -which were to have murdered or ar
rested all their officers and attacked
Kronstadt and St. Petersburg simulta
neously. An urgent order was Issued a few
flays ago to the officers of all grades In
the Black sea fleet forbidding: them, un
der pain of degradation and dlamlssal,
to discuss the political unreat among
the fleet equipages with any outside per
sona and civilians, or even with their
wives; the whole Of tha commissioned
personnel were compelled to sign this
urgent Injunction.-
A rigid censorship Is exercised over
all references In the press to the recent
and disquieting symptoms of grave dis
affection among the rank and file of
the army and navy.

Members of New Baker Stock company which will open Beason at Baker theatre with matinee thla after
noon In "The Deserters."
If enthusiasm and ambition will carry
one to success, Portland will within a
reasonable length of time point with
pride to the fact that Miss Mabel Baker,
daughter of Manager Oeorge L. Baker
of the Baker theatre, Is a Portland girl,
for she la to make her Initial bow to
Portland crities this afternoon aa a
member of the Baker playera, who open
their fall engagement at the Baker the
atre. Mary Edgett will be Miss Baker's
chosen name.
"I take the name of my father's moth
er, because she was so much to roe that
the thought that I bear her name will
aurely make me do my very best," la
Mlsa Baker's naive way of accounting
for her choice. "I do ao want to 'make
good,' for I love the work, and I intend
to put every effort Into it I've always
wanted to do something on the stage,
and this work la to be more In tha na
ture of schooling and a tryout than real
work. I want to find out what I can do
best, and then go Into It.
"Music appeals to me also, and some
day I hope to be able to sing on the
stage In light opera. I'm studying
music, and it's so Interesting. Most of
my time Is devoted to reading and pre
paring for my parts. Even if I only
have a few worda to say, I like to get
each sentence Just right, for It must be
so or it might spoil some one else's part.
"The first time I ever appeared on
the stage waa 19 yeara ago, when I was
a wee baby. It was when Roland Reed
played 'Lend Me a Wife,' at the old
Cordray'a theatre, where the Empress Is
now. The first time In a real part was
aa Christine, in 'The Deep Purple' last
spring at the Baker. I had four parts
with Cathrlne Countiss this summer;
now I have a real part and engagement.'

last season.
Rae Selwyn, the sister of Edgar 81
wyn, actor and playwright, la soon to
make her debut on the stage in "My
Best Girl," by Channlng Pollock and
Rennold Wolf.
At Proctor's Fifth avenue theatre in
New York, the other day, Jeff De An
gells made his debut In vaudeville. The
skit he selected for this ocoaslon was
a farce called "All at Sea."

by Victor Herbert. Montgomery and

Alexander Is- president of the National
Academy of Design. His painting of
Miss Adams waa a part of his exhibi
tion this spring In Pittsburg and New
York. The canvas, set In an Alexander
frame, waa hung yesterday in the foyer
of the Empire theatre which will now
be Its permanent resting place. It Is
a full length portrait and represents
Miss Adams, with her hands clasped
before her, stepping forward aa if to
greet a visitor. The canvas Is declared
by everybody who knows, tha most re
markable Interpretation of the spiritual
quality Of Its subject achieved by any-,
one.
e
Miss Mabel Wllber has returned from
Paris bringing with her a complete new
wardrobe of costumes for Sonla of 'The
Merry Widow," which part she will
again play in Henry W. Savage's revival
of the famous Frans ., Lehar operetta
thla season.
Miss Baker Is unusually refreshing,
an unspoiled girl. She Is proud of her
chosen profession, and Is determined to
make her father proud of her. She is
determined to rise or fall by her own
efforts.
The Baker players open this afternoon
with "The Deserter," and In this Miss
Baker wlll essay only a small role. AS
the company gets into the swing of the
work she will assume more and more
important roles. -
The selection of the players who will
form the company took Mr. Baker
through the east on a long trip this
summer, and success has attended hla
efforts. Many of the best eastern stock
players for personal reasons desired to
spend a season on the coast, and these
will delight Portland audiences with
talent exceptional on the coast.
Mr. Baker waa also exceptionally for
tunate in getting plays Just released to
stock presentation, and many of them
are known only by fame and story in
the northwest.
Chicago, Sept. 7. Responsibility for
the snicks" evil of Chicago was placed
upon locomotive and other firemen, and
the remedy for that evil la the employ
ment of competent firemen, according
to speakers at the opening session of
the twentieth annual meeting of the Na
tional Traveling Engineers' association
at the Hotel Sherman.
- Smoke abatement was the ' principal
problem that will be discussed during i
tha four days' session, immediately
following tha annual report of President
F. B. Hughes of Ncw: York and a paper
on efficiency of employee by B. O. Dunn,
editor of tha Railway Age-Gazette, the
delegates commenced their discussion
of the smoke evil.
"The entire trouble," said T. O. Boom
er.' "is the fireman. If the fireman
would do his work right there would be ;
no smoke evil Get good men and the
evil stops."
The suggestion was supported by W.
I Allison of the Franklin Railway Sup
ply company, Chicago, who voiced tha
sentiments of a majority of delegates
present.
NEW FASHIONS CHOSEN
BY YOUNG ACTRESSES
Fashions in young leading women
change almost as frequently as the pet
ticoats the aforesaid leading women
wear or, rather don't wear, for the
petticoat is conspicuous by Its absence
even from musical oomedy. Just at
present young actresses" are affecting a
carriage and deportment that makes
them look like a cross between a snake
and a wrestler. James Forbes of
"Chorus Lady" fame expressed It rather
neatly the other day. Somebody asked
him what' kind of an actress he wanted
for the leading part in his new play.
'1 want One of the new hunchback
women with the Ingenue crouch," he
replied.

Within 48 hours thereafter
she will aet sail for America. Immed
iately upon her return ahe will begin
rehearsala and In all probability spend
the time consumed by stage "waits'"
wondering what ahe can do to keep
busy. Miss Rambeau Is the Pacific
coast actress engaged by Henry W.
Savage to play the title role In one of
his American productions of "Every
woman" this season.
