Two hours Of song were enjoyed 'ast

gathered at the Oregon Theater for

n meritorious one, ranging as it did
from ragtime "rah rah" stuff to am
blttOUS classical selections.
The club this year numbers some
unusually good talent and In another
year, when the underclassmen develop
a little more finish, the college should
have one of file best clubs of its his-
tlry
If any criticism can be made of
the program of last evening It arise
from the shortage of numbers full of
the "pep and ginger" which somehow
or other the average public expects
from a bunch of collegians. The glee
men last evening had several oppor
tunities to inject this punch in the
program and their failure to respond
when further encores were demanded
was a distinct disappointment to
many,
The club cullies this year an etcep-
donullv strong list or soloists, lopping
them all is Albert J. Gillette. Jr., the
wonderful young baritone of Bugent
whose voice should prove Ills fortune
He sang the "Prologue" from "Pa

grand opera style and this and his
nc encore number did not half satis
fi the audience. In fact many would
be glad If the university would semi
out young Gillette all by himself that
they might enjoy a whole evening of

PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. !. Mrs.
Mabel Myers. 19, a bride of a month
is in a serious condition at the Good

trailing every clue to find E. G. Kemp
a farm hand, near whose cabin the
girl was found, naked and crawltSK;
through the snow, last night. She
was shot through the breast and had
been badly maltreated.
The chief clue connecting Kemp is
u letter, bearing a special delivery
stamp, which was delivered to Sheriff
Hurlburt last night, telling him to
rush to the rescue of a "poor woman
assanlted by a tramp." Kemp is miss
ing. His description has been sent
broadcast. Eugene officers this mor
ning arrested a suspect.
O. H. Myers, the husband of the
woman, a young farmer of Gresham.
has vowed vengeance and is aiding in
the search.
The letter the sheriff received had
Kemp s name and address tn the en
velope. His mother, living at Port
land has not seen him. The letter in
a rambling way said a tramp had shot
the girl. It said -"I'm i?5ing to Cana
da. I don't want the blame. I'll kill
myself before taking the blame."
Kemp recently was discharged from
the navy at Bremerton. Every ave
nue of escape is being watched.
