Barbara Cas- tleton la splendid la the courtroom scene, and little Baby McAllister adds most effective touches as the child of these two. Others la the cast are equally clever, and a word should be said for th splendid realism of the trial, with every detail from jury to spectators faithfully worked aut. "On Trial' Is an extraordinary photoplay, excellently dona Xew Star at Majestic Gladys Brockwell. one of the newer stars of the silent drama, gave a good account of herself at the Majestic theatre Sunday in "To Honor and Obey." a domestic photoplay with i "punch. The action centers abou Wall street and deals dramatically with two brokers fighting for the fu ture of one man's wife. The vivid personality of Miss Brockwell Is well suited to Lorrle Mollis, a girl who marriage has been unhappy. Her hus band aeises upon a sacrifice which she has made for him and distorts it Into falsehood, which mortifies her. The result Is the inevitable divorce, from which the husband comes forth to con tinue his way to ruin, and the former wife to work out her own salvation in a factory, and later to find happiness In the love of a man who was a suitor before her marriage. Jewel Carmen essays the role of a siren with good effect, while Charles Clary and Ber tram Grassby are pictured as the two brokers. r-a-r KorTra.Tai presents a wealth of laughable situa tions, not the least amusing of which Is the swagger young Tommy's return to her ultra-correct relatives after a lively time in a London music hall. There is romance, too. Lord Litterly. tall and handsome, in the person of William Hinckley, rescues the man garbed tomboy in her flight from the musio hall, and again from the back of a runaway horse, and finally at the altar, from any further masculine pre tensions. Hlsie Lawion as "Lord Wil lie," and Helen Greene as "Lord Noel," Tommy's sisters, add not a little to the production. Both are exceedingly good-looking and wear their clothes with distinction. "The Amazons" will remain at the Columbia until Thursday. "Oh Trial" Powerful Play A sensational courtroom scene is the big feature of "On Trial." That a pow erful photoplay, competently acted and carefully produced, does not need a star to compel interest was evidenced by the enthusiastic reception of Sun day's offering at the Liberty theatre. Thrills, tears and tragedy held one big audience after another in tense sus pense. A murky moment In a wom an's past, a man's duplicity and the cross-threads that Intrude these ugly facta Into the woman's serene married happiness some IS years later lead to murder. Scene after scene, some 2000 In all, of the torment of a human soul, once caught In the web of man's treach ery. Is relentlessly pictured. To save her hustand. who has confessed the murder, the woman bares her very soul to the crowded courtroom. Sydney Alnsworth does fine wotfc as the area. v of his wife's wrongs. His Is a performance that ranks with the beat Strand Has Good Show Heading the five acts of vaudeville at the Strand theatre this week is Charles Oro and company In a Chinese comedy that for fun and spectaculars is difficult to surpass. With Its ori ental atmosphere and its capable act ing cast. It scored heavily. WUhelmy and Lheureux are an Interesting duo. one a violinist and the other a singer. They aid wonderfully in their musi cianship. Phil Bennett, Alpine trou badour, and Dixie Boyd, attractive comedienne, vied with each other for popular approval. The latter raised many laughs with her bright talk. Jack Gilbert furnished the Tymnastlo spe cialties. Ruth Stonehousa was the star in a romantia photodrama of the South west, dealing with secret aarvloe agents, international plots, cowboys and Mexicans, and supplemented by much gun-play. An entirely unex pected climax la the feature .of the stirring film. 'Hippodrome Bin Delights An unusually seasonable program of vaudeville has been arranged at the Hippodrome this week with the four Kings, the comedy character singers, leading the applause. Three girls and a boy they are. and they sing well, dance delightfully and talk clever pat ter. Trained dogs nearly always find favor, and Merrlan's Swiss canines are a most popular number on a bill that abounds with good things. Fred Woodward In "The Tlk Tol( Man of Os" tickles the risibilities by a method that is all his own. Kane and Wagner are an amusing pair, who entertain with some nonsense tattle, trick play ing and various other laugh provoking stunts. Highly Interesting Is Lee Fll ller, who plays the violin with true feeling. Jack Case Is a versatile .mon ologlst and camedlan of merit. Baby MeAl later In "Steps to Somewhere," another of the "Do Children CountT" series, met with unanimous approval. effective aid to Miss Kane's warm beauty Is her smart gowning. In trigue and love, with a strong war motif running- throughout, are the dis tinguishing points of the story. Llane Dore lives to bring, the unknown as sassin of bar husband to justice Prince Kondemark agrees to divulge the name of the murderer If she will become a spy In his service. That she falls In love with the agreeable and clever prince complicates matters, es pecially when she Is Informed that none other than he murdered her hus band. A momentary revulsion of feel ing urges her to aid the police In ap prehending Kondemark, but when he returns and proves to her the un- wortniness or ner late nusDana. iney lovers escape from Paris to some lancr where war does not make enemies of very good friends. "Lonesome Luke Messenger," a Keystone comedy, and a review of the bathing girl contest at Columbia beach Saturday are other features of the Peoples program. Tbeda Bara at Sunset In "The Darling of Paris" at the Sunset theatre, Theda Bara is seen in other than her usual vampire part. Esmeralda, stolen In Infancy from tier mother by gypsies and brought up as a dancing girl, becomes the Idol of tbe populace. Frolla, an eminent scientist, is enthralled by her charms, and at tempts to kidnap her. Frustrated by Phoebus, a young- captain, whom Es meralda loves. Fro 11 a plans revenge Surprising the lovers en rendezvous, he kills Phoebus, and manages to have the crime fastened upon Esmeralda. Though Esmeralda is sentenced to. Lth, and the rope of extinguishment is about her throat, the bellringer of the cathedral, who knows whose was the crime, comes to her rescue with a mob at -his heels, and offers tempo rary refuge for her In the church. Even there Frolla pursues the beauti ful gypsy with his hateful attentions and is finally thrown from the parapet to his death by the bellringer. who, in turn, is rewarded with gypsy kisses.

'Bonis In Pawn" at People's The best thing about 'Souls in the An Pawn" at the Peoples theatre Is beauty of Oall Kane, the star. Mary Plckford at Star Admirers of Mary Plckford went to the Star theatre Sunday to see their faVorite in "A Romance of the Red woods," a film story of the days of 49. it Is picturesque and exciting and ihows Miss Plckford as a demure New England girl suddenly transplanted to the rough life of a mining camp. De velopments are reminiscent of "The Olrl of the Golden Wast," ths theatrl cal sensation of a few seasons back. An attempt to reform the road agent. wno nas smied ner uncle, leads to love, and when the road agent falters In his new life and is sentenced to be hunar, the gin , snatches up some baby "things" and makes an appeal for his me tnan cannot be denied. Whereupon, rne snenxr promptly performs a mar rlage ceremony, and a happy honey moon seems imminent.

The beautiful scenery of California adds muob to the filming of the virile story. Transportation Man Nebraska Food Chief Omaha, Aug. II. (I. X. S.) Gordon W. Wattles, a director of the Chicago Great Western railroad, preaident of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company and chairman of the board of the United States National bank, will be named food adminis trator of Nebraska. He is a Republican. Washington, Aug. II. (WASHING TO BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) A stiletto is not a nobler weapon than the bludgeon, thinks Senator Chamberlain, and he refuses to differ entiate between legislative assassins because they operate with different kinds of weapons. Senator Gore of Oklahoma discov ered the Oregon senator's opinion on this point, and he discovered it quick ly, after he had suggested that the senate conferees on the food bill should have "recede" tattooed on their foreheads because they reached an agreement In conference that did no., meet with Gore's approval. Senator Chamberlain was angered by that remark, and he made a quick retort Oore Xs Ketaaked "Mr. President." he said, "there is not much in this conference report that the senator from Oklahoma thinks is right. As a matter of fact, while he Is tattooing Into the forehead cf senators who receded the word 're cede.' there might be tottooed In the senator's forehead and la the fore heads of some others the word 'ob struct.' " Senator Chamberlain wen,: ahead to make plain Jus tbe methods adopted by Senator Gore to obstruct, ela and defeat the food MIL Becausi he vras opposed to the bill. Gore retiied frim the management of the bill in the senate and Chamberlain took control. Yet whn the bill was passed and the ; time came for appointing conferees, Gore asserted his right as chairman of the agricultural committee to tsad the senate conferees, and he atten ;ted i in conference to prevent an agreement by standing out against the president, against the house confsrees, and against all argument to retain the 'smelling" committee to nqulre into war expenditures. yeouliar Methods a '.own These were the stiletto metiods to which Senator Chamberlain referred as he proceeded: Mr. President, there m two ways to obstruct. One is by tue use of a bludgeon, and the other la by thj use Of a stiletto. It Is true, as tho senator says, that when this bill was Introduced in the senate It was introduced by me at his request, but there has not been a time since I did so that the distinguished chair man of the committee (Gore) hae not used a stiletto whenever he had an opportunity to do so. While the bill was committed by him to tar charge on the floor or the senate, because ha was opposed to it, the senator absolutely main tained control of the committee; and when the conference committee was appointed, if you please, the senator undertook to name the members of ths conference to suit himself and his -views, out of the usual order and contrary to ths manner of appoint ment under ths practice of tue senate. Chair Zs Assumed "Then when the conferees met the chairman of ths, committee, although he was known to be hostile to the bill, although It was known by me and other members of the committee that he opposed It from the time it was introduced to this very moment, took charge .of ths conference as chairman of the committee and ob structed in every way possible the prompt consideration of the bill. "1 had rather be charged with following in the footsteps of the dis tinguished president of the United States In the conduct of this war. crawling, if you please, on hands and knees in order to win the same, than to stand in opposition to him and to be continually consorting, conspiring and treating with the enemies of the commander In chief of the army and navy of the United States." Senator Gore, In reply, sought to avert the force of this stinging arraignment, but he admitted the facta in the Indictment, saying: Oore Admits Charge "I was opposed to this measure. I was In favor of the senate Amend ments. (Notably the board of three for food control and the congressional smelling commltee, which President Wilson denounced.) The imputation of obstruction cannot be laid at my door. 'I felt I ought to retain In the measure the deliberate will of the senate as expressed here by repeated votes and by overwhelming majori ties. I did not recede; I did not be tray the trust committed to me by this body. 'I did take charge of the confer ence committee. 1 felt then and X feel now that I was quite as well qualified to represent the senate, its wishes, and Its amendments as tne senator from Oregon, who had fa vored ths measure without senate amendments. Tne history and re sults of the conference Justified this conference and this conclusion." Warren Breaks Away Oore stated the fact- when he said he did not recede. After the president had asked the senate conferees to re cede. Chamberlain, Smith of Gorgia and Smith of South Carolina voted to do ma, while Gore, Kenyon, Page and Warren voted not to do so. The finl honor of receding and breaking the deadlock belongs to Senator Warren, a veteran Republican from Wyoming. The senate clash between Chamber lain and Gore was useful because it helped to illuminate the course (ior has pursued in harrassing the admin istration. While ostensibly staiisinc aside in the senate so Its win migut not bo obstructed, he seized Hie oppor tunity to go into conierence with the stiletto, where he came veiy nearly undoing all that had been accom plished. - Oklaho man's Flan rails There comes a time in the history of all big legislative measures when somebody has to recede, or there would be no law. The house passes a bill; -the senate writes it over, and the con ferees of the two houses Sit down at a round table to work out an agree ment, One house yields at one point, one side at another. Gore, who was hostile to the bill It self, went Into the conference stiff necked. He would have wrecked .the bill, if he could by insisting upoa amendments to which the house would never have agreed, and to which ta president was opposed. Because tha conferees of the senate finally did yield on these points, ,he came bacic with the boast that he had no: re ceded; had not "betrayed" his trust. Thus, while Reed of Missouri played dilly-dally in the open senate, Uor lay in wait to knife the bill when it came into conference. wwrmw m mm a si'm m a 1 1 1 1 1 1 v S"w"o f X txgkt tnu hy a pecaal process of IJ xi jbKA j our own to retain its oH ft At the Tlieatres COMTMBIA Rilth between WaiMngton ind Stark. rhotnidar.

L, Corbett, Chairman State Council of National Defense: Sir : In the present emergency it is absolutely necessary that the country's resources be ised to full advantage to aid in carrying on the war. This requires that all unnecessary serv ices shall be eliminated in retail trade as well as in other lines of business. The Commercial Economy Board has made a careful investigation of 'the economies that are possible in the delivery service of retail stores. This shows that a large number of men and vehicles can be released for military or other service that is essential to the welfare of the country. The Board points out, therefore, that delivery service in retail stores can be very sub stantially reduced immediately by restricting the free delivery of small purchases by elimi nating special deliveries, and by other means. Not more than one delivery a day should be made on each route. The Board urges, furthermore, that the acceptance of returned goods be reduced to an absolute minimum and that all non-essential operations in each store be eliminated. There is such urgent need for men and equipment in other work that the country cannot endure the waste that is occasioned by the abuse of the return goods privilege and accommo dation deliveries of small purchases. We trust that we may have the co-operation of your association in making these correc tions immediately effective. These changes should be introduced as early as practicable, cer tainly not later than August 1, 1917. The Board will use every resource at its command, including the co-operation of the State Councils of. Defense, to assist in making these changes effective. , Yours very truly, COMMERCIAL ECONOMY BOARD OF THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. J) In compliance with the request of the Council of National Defense, as it here with appears, let the citizens of the City of Portland and the State of Oregon fall in line and assist our Government by responding as promptly as they did to the Liberty Loan and Red Cross. As chairman of the Oregon State Council of De fense, I suggest the adoption of the following rules, as suggested by the Council of National Defense, to take effect not later than August 20: 0 1 Not more than one delivery a day. 2 Not to accept or offer goods for return after 48 hours. 3 By carrying parcels with you when going to or from shopping. 4 By not purchasing merchandise until reasonably sure it will be kept. 5 By avoiding C. O. D. purchases whenever possible. ; 6 By bringing back, personally,-" returnable goods for credit 7 By shopping early in the day to distribute business more evenly. Will you demonstrate your patriotism by making it a National American habit "CARRY IT HOME AND KEEP IT?" H. L. CORBETT, Cliairman Oregon State Council of Defense ' 4 ft i'
