TUESDAY STRONG ADDRESS Municipal Judge of Chicago Tells of Crime in Illinois Metropolis. FRED EMERSON BROOKS . WILL SPEAK TONIGHT Excellent Program Arranged for Balance of Week Cam bridge Players Tomorrow. "The Criminal in ! lie Makintf'' wa-j the subject of a lecture delivered at the Chautauqua grounds last night by Judjft Sadler of the municipal court of the city of Chicago. Jude Sadler proved a forcible and an entertaining speaker and handled his subject in a manner which was pleasing to (he vast majority of his audience. Claiming that the public dance hall, the saloon, idleness and the sensation al journalism of the Hearst character are the most potent factors in breed ing crime, Judge Sadler pointed out the many imperfections in the sys tem of handling crime in the great cities. "A Christian home and home influ ence is the best police force in any city," said Judge Sadler, and the slum was characterized as the breeding ground for crime. Judge Sadler also paid a tribute to the public-spirited citizens who an: taking a keen interest in the nation wide play-ground movement, lie claimed that the play-grounds in the cities are doing more to check the wave of crime anmng the younger generation than any other force and un.H'd the co-operation of the smaller towns in the movement. The big attraction tonight at Chan tautpia will be l;ml Kmerson Ilrooks, poet and humorist. This is one of the best attractions which was book ed for this year's assembly and the humorist will undoubtedly be greeted by the largest crowd since the Chau tauqua opened last week. He will appear promptly at K o'clock ami everybody who expects to secure a seat should be at the auditorium ear ly, b'ollowiug is the program to be rendered tonight by .Mr. ilrooks: 1.

Here is what the jsfreal men of the nation think of him: 1 leni v Walterson "Urooks' ' Pick ett's Charge at Gettysburg is the greatest poem 1 ever heard. William J.

Cardinal Gihhons 1 enjoyed your poems and your recital yours is a great art. T. He Witt TalmagcOur great Tabernacle never rang with such ap plause. Mr. Ilrooks had just finished " The Miracle of Caua" the audience demanded a repetition of the poem. All Grand Army men and Spanish War veterans should by all means make it a point to attend this evening to hear the famous poem, "Pickett's Chaigc at Gettysburg," The meat leaders on both the Un ion and Confederate aides join in Ray ing that tins is the -greatest heroic poem ever written.

A man at the depot this morning, evidently crazy, began cursing the "Qrcgonian" in a loud and angry voice, and the "beautiful" things he called it wouldn't sound well in print. After talking in a rambling voice for several minutes during which he berated in scathing term?. Oregon's i largest daily, he suddenly switched his subject to the "cost of high liv ing" and then began to denounce the country as tyrannical. He had a ticket for Mill City and I the train pulled out just in time to I save the man from being arrested by Chief of rolicc Uaughtry who arrived at the depot in answer to a telephone call. The man had previously insulted a man and his wife in a restaurant near the depot and escaped a beating at the hands of the man, by being forcibly ejected from the restaurant by an employee of the place.

Here arc some of the comments: "The Cambridge Players proved to be one of the best entertainments ever witnessed in this town. They are a group of strictly high grade entertainers and each number was loudly applauded. Seldom have we seen so much mer riment crowded into such a short space of time.

IS LEFT IN ALBANY! Otho Keefe, Age 7 Years, Steps Off Train Which Leaves the City Without Him. HEARTBROKEN BOY LOOKED AFTER BY PASSENGERS Frantic Mother Wires From the Capital City to Send Son to Union Depot, Portland. When little Otho Keefc, aged 7 years, of Los Molinos, California, who was accompanying his mother to Portland for a visit with relatives during the Llks' reunion, stepped off the second section of train No. 16 when it pulled in to the union depot here this morning, he had no idea of getting left in the Hub City. , When the train came to a stop at the local depot, the little fellow who was clad in a suit of Khaki and wore a pair of sandals, slipped away from his mother and went out on the sta tion platform to take a view of the city and it evidently impressed him so much that he firgot all about the train and it pulled out without him. When he discovered that he was left, he was heart-broken and the tears streamed down his sun-burned face. His grief attracted the sympa thy of a number of the many pas sengers on the station platform who were waiting for the trains and he was soon in the midst of friends, all of whom were anxious to help the lad. One kind-hearted man, M. E. Gar wood of Woodburn, took the young ster in tow and after washing the lad's tear-stained face, bought him an orange and thus got him in a good humor again. The mother of the .boy evidently didn't miss him until the train had nearly reached Salem, for some time later a telegram was received at the depot from Conductor Long of No. In instructing that the boy be placed aboard the Lugene flyer which ar rived here at 8:25 o'clock and sent to the union depot at Portland where his mother would be waiting for him. He was a bright little fellow and will be looked after by the passengers enroute to Portland. P. J. HEAD LEFT FOR SAN DIEGO YESTERDAY BY AUTOMOBILE P. J.

SEES GREAT FUTURE Albany One of Best Towns in the State Says Marshall of Big Lumber Company. COMPANY OWNS 30,000 ACRES IN LINN COUNTY Weyerhauser Holdings in Ore . gon are BigHas Title to Over 300,000 Acres. George Marshall, general tax agent for the Weyerhauser Lumber inter ests, arrived in Albany last night and is registered at the Revere hotel. When seen by the Democrat rep resentative .Mr. Marshall gave out the following interview: "Our company pays into the treas ury of Linn county about $10,000.00 annually. This sum represents the taxes levied against our holdings here and of course we firmly believe that we are paynig more than our just proportion of the burden of taxation. "In Linn county the Weyerhauser interests own in the neighborhood of 30,000 acres of timber land and have title to about 300,000 acres in the state of Oregon." In reply to the question as to what he thought of the future of Albany, Mr. Marshall said: "Albany is, in my Judgment, one of the best towns in the state. It has just as good a country and just as good, if not better, transportation facilities as Eugene and there is no reason why it should not be as large as Eugene at the present time. Albany is just beginning to catch up with herself. The people arc just be ginning to realize that the place has a great future and in my judgment you should easily have a city of ten thou sand people in less than three years." Mr. Marshall was accompanied on the trip by his daughter and they re turned this afternoon to their home in Tacoma, Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Jepp of this city went o Portland this morning to attend the Elks' reunion and visit friends for a few days.
