Bryant, Methodist chaplain at the stale penitentiary, last night repeated charges he made . before the coroner's jury investigating the fatal prison break of August 12, of laxity of discipline at the prison and of open gambling among both men and guards. He declared the removal of the present warden and the appointment of a new 'one the only effective remedy for the deplorable condi tions existing at the prison. There is nothing new in these charges. They have been , repeatedly made under oath. Yet Governor Pierce refuses to act and sustains the prison administration. Removal of the warden is also said to have been demanded in the report of the governor's special committee of investigation, which he agreed in advance to abide by, but which he has refused to either publish or follow. The prison scandals and there have been a constant succession of them since Governor Pierce took charge, are the direct result of making the prison the spoils of politics, of selecting officials upon partisan grounds instead of merit. Unless the Rev. Bryant's advice is followed, we can look for still more scandal in the future at the big country club main tained for criminals to enjoy their leisure in. The foremost tesue to coma be lore meniuors ot the uiegon Pure bred Livestock association at their annual banquet held In ona ot the (air grounds restaurants last night, was the matter ot legisla tive appropriation ot JluO.uOO for the first unit of n new livestock barn at the stata fair, tills Is to be followed later by additional ap propriations tor further units to relieve tlio cunee.4ted condition!; which are ccrtuin to exist as the fair grows. Another Important resolution read and adopted was to the effect that the state fair hoard and the various county spring show exhi bition officials Investigate tu possibility of carrying Into effe-; the sending of a state herd on : tour of exhibition to the centra! and eas'.ern state faira. The sug- cstion was made that the money necessary to finance sucli an un dertaking be raised by assembling the prize winners at the spring shows and exhibit them at tlu state fair afl a special ehow her.! and charge a small admission, or by charging a like amount at the arioue spring county show's. This trip would ho to advertise tin- dairy Industry In Oregon and over- iile some misleading information t hat has gone forth regarding ihe high quality of Oregon's dairy .uilinais. The change of dato of tho fair was another Issue. This was brought up because of the possi bility of laboring classes being befit able to attend the fair on Sun day or a legal holiday. It was the use of the nssnclalion that tnr fair cover either inbor day or a bunaay. in the event this alleges tlon is accepted It was asked that the fair, If changed to embrace Labor day, begin on Saturday with a racing program coupled with track exhibitions o f girls' and boys' club animals. The recom mendatlon was made that on Sun day a sacred concert and nroDer devotional exorcises be held, after wnicn tns barns and exhibition buildings would be opened to the public. Thanks for courtesies shown were extended to Mis. Ella Schultz Wilson, secretary, and other mem bers of the present fair board. O. M. Plummer of Portland pre sided at the banquet and speeches were made by Governor Pierce, A .7. Marsters of Roseburg, Horace Addle ot Portland, Jack Mlckel, slate dairy commissioner of Port land, Itobert Wlthyconibe ot Union and N. C. Marls, secretary of the issociatlon. E IS VAUDEVILLE HEADLINER HERE One of tho prettiest, daintiest ind most entertaining ucts (hat have come over the Association Vaudeville tour will be seen at tliu HelHg theater tonight when 'The Peter Tan Revue'' is present - d by Miss JJerniee Brin & coin- pan;.'". It is a gorgeously staged uid beautifully costumed singing. playing and dancing number. Miss Brin with her many accomplish ment which includo singing, whistling, dancing and piano play ing Is a whole show In herself. and she Is ably assisted by a clever young nian and three lovely girls. As an outfdi'iidlng single nutii- bar there has been no more cap able artist on the tour than Char ley Calvert the "Jazlogist," who has been a featured dancer with the New York Winter Garden re vues and with a number of the leading syncopated orclieatraa of the country. Mr. Calvert was also featured for a time on the studio staff of station WQJ, Chicago where he made a host of radio fans who wilt be pleased of the opportunity to see him In person Ho mixes In numbers on the ukelele and jazz horn with his other routine which helps, to dem onstrate his versatility as an all around entertainer. ..overs of eccentric dancing, ac robatics and good comedy will find a rare treat in the act of Hart. Roberts & 0 Neil, who pre sent what they term "Kuropean Eccentric Oddities." They com prise a trio of Kuropean artists who are ftnuihed in every sense 'n tho word and who bring many new stunts in the lino of enter tainment. One ot tho trio done a turn on stilts that Is decidedly original and comic. There has been so much talk and controversy In newspapers, political circles and elsewhere about tho "Ler.cue of Nations," that Bell and Darling -decided H was time to do something, so they organized a league of their own and called it "The League of Non sense. uniiKe the outer "league everyone seeme ready and. witling to join it. It has been organized for laughing purposes only and the organizers certainly know how to maintain the prime object or the league. A well balanced capable show is nicely rounded off by the wire act of I.yle and Irma Conner In a de lightful bit of entertainment which they call "On the Wire." It is replete with the thrills thai help to make acts of this nature a .success and is also dressed ami presented in a manner that leaves i nothing to he desired. j One of the most interesting state fair vis i tore thia week is Mrs, ISthel Keener of Olymnla, under whose name D. J. Burke and Will iam a ray, two of the fastest trot ters here of rthe races are listed. To endeavor to Interview Mrs, Kee ner Is to revert time and again to these two horses, for they are her principal concern. Mrs. Keener has been racing on tho coast for a number of. years, her horses being consistent winners each season. William dray won the stake here last year, D. J. Burke the same trophy two years suc cessively. In -the seasons pikjvIous. This young woman Is not the type that one Instinctively asso ciates with the racing game. She might Instead be easily mistaken for any sheltered, home-keeping woman. She is feminine to her finger tips, beautiful, faultlessly groomed, quiet and self-effacing In her manner. Her participation In the uport of racing began exactly eleven years ago, at the time of her mar riage to Jack Keener, for the past twenty-five years a conspicuous figure In circuits from Canada to Florida. "My father owned race horses," Mm, Keener explained. but as a young girl I felt no at traction to the sport. However, when I once became interested I went into it wholesoulediy, with It completely filling my life. I have no side activities whatsoever." When it was mentioned to Mrs. Keener that the retention, of her womanliness waa most refreshing in her particular line of endeavor, j she said: "I see no reason for woman losing her charm In any work. It la up to her to establish her own standards of living: and at the Mme time the attitude of those with whom she comes Into contact." Mrs. Keener spends very Httlo time about the barns where her horses -are stabled, but In tho grandstand each afternoon she is certain to be found, her eyes glued to program and horses. Horsemen Up and down the coast are her best and most loyal friends. NOVEL FEATURE A ' livestock" exhibit at the fair this year not listed In the an hum I classification and premium card, is shown by Tex A. Schubach, snake rancher and reptile expert of Berkeley, California, who Is giv ing two talks dally and exhibiting his attractions, from his car, located near the automobile pa vilion. His business is to educate the public concerning tho nature of snakes and reptiles, demonstrat ing tho treatmeut ot both varie ties. These things he sells for ex perimental purpof.es, their venom finding another market in labora tories as anti-tonins. He is asking that folk protect tho harmless types ot reptile-: which de3trtjy only insects and similar pests. Many of the snakef in Schubach's collection are high ly venomus, but they are safely lodged in boxes, exhibited only by their owner during his talks, when he shows tho proper method of handling tbem. Schubach has letters from Thi ther Burbank and a number of universities commending him In hU activities. Ho, himself, lias served as on instructor In several I of the western colleges. He claims that the hoop snaki is a myth and nothing more. "There Is a stingaroe," Mr. Schu back stated, "which goes along at times with its head and tail both up and which can hit with Its tall, but tt docs not roll about like a hoop V 1th its tail In Its mouth, and neither is its tall or head pois onous. "There Is a gless snake which can break up In sections, but can not gather Itself together again. The blue racer is another suuko credited with things he doesn't do. such as chasing people and of be ing of a constrictor nature. One ot Mr. Schubach's "pets." is a glla monster, which Is said to he of the most deadly of Ihe spe cies, hut which is handled with ease and safety by Its owner, tiou. Beaver City, Neb.

Capital Journal Barbarism As Sport The Oregonian is much exercised over the revival ot rabbit coursing in California, which consists in releasing hares or rabbits to be pursued, torn and killed by hounds. It denounces the so-called sport as "barbaric in its senseless unromanlic savagery," and says that "the good name of California requires that the abuse be stopped, and resolutely." Very true, but coursing, which has become a commercial ized sport, is not nearly as cruel as that other commercialized sport, known as the Round-up or Rodeo. In coursing, the rabbit, exhausted after a game run, in which he pits his skill as an artful and resourceful dodger against the superior speed and endurance of dogs, meets a sudden and violent death. In the Round-up, man and beast are crippled and killed, without even the slim chance of the rabbit. Horses and steers break legs and necks; riders are kicked, trampled upon, and maimed. There never was an exhibition more "barbaric in its sense less, unromantic Bavagery" Hian that staged at Pendleton this year which put to shamo-the bull-fights of Saville and compares only with the arenas of ancient Rome, liesuie it. coursinu is a mild and lame aflair. Why worry about California and coursing when we have Pendleton and Round-ups? Does not the good name of Oroiron reouire "that the abuse bo stopped, and resolutely.' What is the matter with our societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals that they tolerate, without protest, this community commercialism ot cruelty i DUMB DORA By Chick Young The Husband Tamer Bv Violet Dare tiii; omst.u'u: hac 'There Is a rnncn not far from hf.ro whero wo ran got horCM."
