Mlws Katherin Graham, bo left a
month ago for Jos Anffclen to enter
ths movie field, has made an entering
Wedge in the work and is now appear
ltitr with great success in the picture
being screened by Griffith, "Oretchen
Blunder In," the story of & Holland
girl coming to America. Norma Tal
madge la playing Gretchen.
The play will be released here In
about alx weeks and will be seen with
murh interest by Miss Graham's Port
land friends. Mrs. A. B. Graham, who
accompanied her daughter south, has
just returned home and in speaking;
of her daughter's work told some' In
teresting features of the life of the big
movie colony in southern California.
All reports to the contrary, the
girls are treated with the utmost
.courtesy. A Mrs. Brown In the Grif
fith studios acts as manager and
'chaperon for the girls and takes care
of them in every way. Movie acting,
however. Miss Graham finds, is real
work and takes boundless energy and
nerve to make good.
Angel Part First Flayed.
"Katherine earned iter very first
wage playing the part of one of the
angels in Griffith's big new play, 'The
Mother and the Law.' It is a pea"o
play similar to 'The Birth of a Na
tion.' ,
"Playing the angel was not as
simple as It seemed for the girls,
garbed in flowing robes, were raised
on wires fsstf-ned to belts around
their waists and were floated over
the battlefield. There were 150 an
gelic maids and five of them, includ
ing Miss Graham, fainted because
their belts were drawn too tight.
They were let down to the ground Ini- i
mediately and suffered no bad ef
fects from the experience.
"Katherine came to in a second
when she wan relrased and wanted to
go right up Hpaln as soon as she had
properly adjusted the belt," said Mrs.
Oraham.
Bnocess Is Predicted.
"She prised that first 15 very high
ly and came trudging home because
she was short of car fare but trium
phant, with the $5 unbroken to show It
to me."
. Miss Graham was fortunate In hav
ing letters to the Franklin brothers,
Sidney and Chester, who are mana
gers for Griffith and who have given
her many opportunities to see the
tars working.. In the evenings twice
a week when her work Is done she
takes dancing lessons of Ruth St.
Denis.
Jn speaking of the hard work and
early hours of the movie, Mrs. Gra-

on the morning she was to be an angel
and arrived at the 'lot' about 7: JO,

Detailed estimates of assessments
for improving and extending Greeley
street are to be made for the infor
mation of property owners affected
before any further action is taken in
the proceedings for the big Peninsula
Improvement, according to a decision
of the city council today.
The decision followed a public hear
ing on the proposed improvement, at
tended by more than 100 property
owners. Nearly 20 people spoke in
favor and against the improvement,
those opposing contending that the
time was inopportune and those advo
cating the Improvement, contending
that it would benefit the etnire Penin
sula district.
Estimated Cost $332,000.
The estimated cost of the project Is
S332.000. It is planned to extend
Greeley street along the east bank
of the Willamette boulevard to connect
with Delay street in Lower Aibtna.
The remonstrance period expired some
time ago, but the petitioners lacked 19
per cent or getting trie required num
ber of signatures to kill proceedings.
About 18.000 lots are affected. Mem
bers, of the city council decided, how
ever, to give the objectors an oppor
tunity to voice their objections, and
the hearing today was the result.
John A. L&ing, representing several
of the objectors, said that about to or
40 per cent of the property affected
was owned by five property owners,
including John B. Yeon, John Mock,
the O-W. R, N. Co., Cos A, McKenna
and S. Benson, and that owners of two
thirds of the remaining property op
posed the project It was for this
reason, he explained, that insufficient
signatures could be secured.
Peninsula Called Backward.
Those advocating the improvement
contended that the improvement wou'd
cut down the running time from the
Peninsula to the Broadway bridge
from 10 to 15 minutes. Laing dis
puted this. He said that the big
property owners favored the Improve
ment while trfe small ones opposed it.
John B. Teon denied that he was
actuated by selfish motives in advo
cating ths Improvement. He said ths.t
the Improvement should be made at
this time to benefit the Peninsula dis
trict which he referred to as the most
backward in the city. He said the
people themselves were to blame for
the conditions. Mr. Yeon argued that
Improvements should be made during
the dull times to provide for the good
times which were bound to tollow.

improvement while Jacob Kltrer

Western Pacific's
Bleedejs Denounced
Reorganization Plans Are Conditionally
Approved by California Kxilroad
Commission Big Fees Criticised.
San Francisco, Cal., July 13. (V. P.)
Reorganization plans of the Western
Pacific were conditionally approved to
day by the etate railroad commission.
The decision contained denunctat;on of
the practice whereby special attorneys
and experts employed in bankruptcy
cases charge large fees for their serv
ices. Experts of the interstate com
merce commission or the state railroad
commission would do work much more
efficiently and economically, tho rul
ing asserts.
A number of experts in the Western
Pacific litigation asked large fees.
Their bills brought forth the -ommis-slon's
criticism. One of the attorneys
asked $125,000 a year.
The commission's decision sanctioned
all the plans of the reorganisation
committee with one exception. The
request for $2,350,000 bonds to care
for minority bondholders and to pay
reorganiza'ion expenses was pruned to
$2,000,000.
