The German sharpshooter took the undisputed lead last night by de feating Willie Hoppe of New York, 400 to 113, In 24 innings. It was Ms second victory In as many starts, and the first defeat in two matches for the veteran Hoppe. Klnrey Matsuyma of Japan and Welker Cochran of San Francisco were tted with Hoppe in the won and lost column, while Ora Morning star, Ban Diego, wa all but out of the running with two defeats. Cochran meets Hagenlnchrr in Vie main match tonight. Mornlngstar tackles Hoppe In the afternoon. Constructed when gold fever aws at Its height In southern Oregon the oldest Methodist church building west of the Rocky mountains and one of the oldest Protestant church build ings In the state will be one of the historical attractions of Oregon's Dia mond Jubilee celebration in Mcdford and Jacksonville June S to 0, Gold dust from Jacksonville gam bling tables brought .the structure Into existence In 1863 to bring the gospel to a new country, populated with hardy pioneers and red-ahlrted miners. The years have been many since its aging walls resounded to singing voices and the sapient words of circuit riders and early parsons who followed In their wake. Death less memories of early days make the building a direct link with the pio neer era of Oregon so closely related to the establishment of statehood In I860. I Jsmes Cluggage, the first man to discover gold In Jacksonville, donat ed three lots for the structure and timbers were hauled from the moun tains by ox teams. Candles and flickering lanterns, donated by the congregation, provided Illumination when evening sermons were preached by Rev. Joseph L, Smith, the first minister, while a melodeon, brought by steamer to Crescent City and the first to arrive in this section, lended accompaniment to hymns, In strange contrast to echoing war whoops of warring Indians resenting the In vasion of white men. The march of Time has brought progress but the old church has re mained unchanged, challenging the passage of the years which have stilled Indian war whoops and which have drawn a veil of yesterdays over by-gone scenes to be again revived during the Jubilee celebration. McCaskey Collection of Miniature Souvenirs Key To World Wide Travels FAME IS NO jOY TO CLARK GABLE; 'TIRED OE IT ALL' HOLLYWOOD. Clark Oable can look you straight In the eye and tell you that fame, If what he has Just been through Is a sample, pleasure. After his first trip east since he broke Into pictures with such a bang, Gable Is ready now to confine his future peregrinations to the Pacific coast. "It started out, you know, as a vacation trip, he says. "I dtdnt know anything about the personal appears nee angle until I got to New York. That was cooked up there. If It was a vacation, give me some work Instead next time." He wasnt complaining, under stand. The business of being mobbed at railway stations, pursued by au tograph hunters, getting his clothes torn and buttons snatched all In all a reception that indicated popu larity akin to the late Valentino's he found "embarrassing." "Well, how would you feel?" he asks. Just as if there were no other way for a man to react to such ex hibitions of maAs enthusiasm. Some In Hollywood think Gable has the "makings" of a first-class actor. A friend of his, an actress, ; once told us it was "a shame Clark doesn't work harder, because if he did he could really achieve things."! She had asked him a omit It. she said, and he had the amused answer: "Aw, I'm tired of it. And what does It mean, anyway?" Told of the Incident, Gable laugh ed. "Well, what does it mean? It's a way to make a living, and I don't know any easier way to do it. I can't take it seriously. You don't, do you?" Turning questions back upon the Inquisitor Is one of Gable's favorite defenses. He'd rather talk about hunting in Wyoming, where his next vacation will be, or about his race horse, and the possibility that some dsy, after pictures, ,he will start a stable. "That would be the life, now wouldn't It?" Of all his experiences in New York, Is no : Gable considers the most amazing and unbelievable, except that Mrs. Oable was there to vouch for It that with an old Italian taxi driver. At their destination Clark proffer ed a 10 bill, his smallest change. The driver dug into his Jeans, and handed back a wad of ones, telling blm to make his own change. "If you know New York taxi driv ers," Gable comments, "you won't believe that tale but it's true. He's my notion of a real fan!" (By Era Xealon Hamilton.) To the Islands, the Orient, Europe, and down through the pages of his tory you may travel with very, very little folk as guides If you have bit of Imagination and are some time privileged to view the Lilliputian col lection of Mrs. H. D. McCaskey of the Old Stage road. For the tiny objects. 62 In number. which dangle in Invitation from i chatelaine, where they are now chain, ed In her home, represent the relig ions the customs, the legends of many lands and races at the same time constituting one of the finest minia ture collections on the coast. Gathered in Kong Tour. They were gathered by Mrs. Mc Caskey from places, remote In 1914, during a seven months tour. They were recalled yesterday, with the many pleasant memories they arouse, by a photograph in last week's Ore- gonlan of Jules Charbneau of seatne, whose collection of tiny things totals 300 items. So the silver chatelaine of a Japa nese woman was brought from hiding and the Lilliputian objects took their places on a table overlooking the Rogue River valley. A sorro ban, used by the Chinese and Japanese people In .making change, a dolphin of Florence, in per fect miniature form, stood beside i camel of Arabia. A Chinese slipper from Canton, decorated in perfec design with kingfisher's feathers, not to be distinguished except under s microscope, a Bambino of Florence, and a Chinese dance Instrument, re sembling a guitar, rivalled the well- known Sphinx of Egypt, visited at Glzeh. In perfection of ilne and com pletion. Finished RepUco. Regardless of the size of the oris- uaal, each replica In the collection Is of the same tiny form, and lengthy study of the Items seems to brlrur a sudden reduction or tne worm for accommodation of the very little NaDoleon and Cleopatra, Included. One of Mrs. McCaskey's favorites !s a smoking set, used by the Japanese, the miniature pipe and accessories are Included and all are beautifully carved. Others are a replica of Rom ulus and Remus, being fed by, the wolf; Rameses in his coffin, remov able as In the original, and a tiny Moaea In the bullrushes. A basket, in which birds are taken for walks by Mandarins In the Orient, is a fine addition to the collection, as it contains the tiny bird, also In perfect reproduction. Other items of particular interest are: The knife worn by Tibetans: the resting places, where doves are released entering Japanese burial grounds; a Japanese dance instru ment, a temple drum, an Italian man dolin, a rickshaw, a Lotus of the Nile, a sampan of Japan, a Chinese Junk, a boat from Honolulu, a memorial lantern, used at tombs In Japan, and to the sorrow of the Japanese, used as decorative garden lanterns here. A rainy day shoe of the Japanese, built up to enable the water to pass under, forms an interesting contrast to the house slipper, also in the col lection. The keys to Honolulu, the keys to the Vatican and the key to the Nile hang from the same little chains, which now restrict the tiny objects to one homeland. Ostrich In Collection. An ostrich of Arabia represents the fowl kingdom In the collection and a little Buddha, used In gam bling, exhibits fine workmanship, a tiny slide, enabling the release of perfect dice. Another fowl Is that one which awakened the Roman guards. From Italy, too. Mrs. Mc Caskey added a tiny violin, and the eagle of Rome. The Orient, however, seem to have contributed more than other sections, Other Items from the East are: A Chinese pagoda, from Hong Kong; opium pipe of China, the sho gun of a Japanese temple, the mallet of a Japanese money god, a sedan chair from Canton, spices of Ceylon. Shanghai wheelbarrow, a Japanese Junk, the coin worn on the forehead of a Malay woman, a boat from Can ton, a Chinese tea caddy, a Chinese temple drum, the fish of Ceylon, dec orated In the king fisher 'sfeathers, a lady's slipper from Canton, Hindu money, an elephant from Burma, the famous vulture of Bombay, which picks the flesh from the bones of the dfad Paral, merchant class; the black buck of India; Rameses, the Egyptian king, before death; a mi nute Chinese hat, the donkey of Egypt, and a Chinese man's shoe. A very Interesting figure Is the lit tle trumpeter from Saecklngen, Ger many, and another, the "see-no-evir monkey. The cargo use to make the 10 province pass, the ring of a Be douin girl and the Eifel tower of Paris complete the list. Has Other Souvenirs. Other travel souvenirs prized by Mrs. McCaskey, and not members of the miniature collection, are an ear ring worn by a Nubian tribesman, met first at the world's fair in 1894 and later In the desert, while travel lng In his native land; the vanity of a Chinese dancing girl, and a prayer wheel of a Lama priest, obtained at Darjeeling, which was then as nesr Tibet as a traveler could progress, The wheel contains 100,000 prayers, and each swing of Its handle consti tutes just that much praying by the priest. A shell is placed beneath the wheel to keep check on the priest's devotion. It takes six years of such 'lazy" praying to wear It through. When this happens, Mrs. McCsskey explained, the shell Is added to a chain, worn by the priest. Hi holi ness Is measured by the length of his chain. Turquoise matrix and ear rings, worn by the Tibetan men in expres sion of their wealth, are beautiful specimens of precious stone. And so Is the collection of saphlres, placed In a chain, which has as centerpiece or medallion, a replica of the foun tain In Ceylon, where maidens go for prayer. A toilet set of a Tibetan woman Is of Interest for its unusual neas, not Its beauty- It Is worn by the woman on her shoulder, various instruments, hanging to a central chain. PORTLAND, April 3 (AP) Dwlght B. Brown, who In his youth was a cowboy and a close friend of Buffalo Bill, died here Sunday at the age of 84. .

A silent witness of the slaylngs. hours before, authorities said, was the cat. When three Imprisoned dogs In a Packard sedan drew the attention of a neighbor, Tom Sanders, late Satur day, he entered the yard of the home and saw through a window two of the bodies. When authorities finally arrived and forced an entrance, the cat rushed out. The victims: Frank Flleder, 45, owner of the home. Mrs. Anna Taylor Flleder, 50, h!s wife. Eugene Ohenevert, 38, better known as Bert Vincent, the "sing ing bartender," and former vaude ville player. Mrs. Peggy Chenevert, 30, his wife. Magnus Jordan. 50, retired navy man and caretaker of summer homes. Fred Balsom, bartender at a Bremerton beer parlor. Houe a Shambles. The Inside of the house was a "shambles." with bodies battered or shot to death, lying about In three of the rooms. The place had been ransacked, with drawers strewn about, furniture overturned, blood spattered everywhere. All day yesterday, Sheriff D. L Blankenshlp and Luke S. May, noted Seattle criminologist, worked intense ly on the case, and at nightfall, when the bodies were finally removed to mortuaries here, the mass of evidence In the house had been organized. Although robbery seemed a strong motive, they said, the deed was so ghastly that It appeared the killer or killers might have been aope-crazea or anxious to remove any chance of ever being identified by slaying all the witnesses. Suit Mar Olve Clue. A bloodstained gray suit came Into the case when Isadore Lascnmn, tailor, reported it had been brought Into his place of business on Friday. Another cleaner had turned the job down. Three cleaning marks on It, as well as the mark of the maker, "Gentry Tailors," were studied at length to day. The address of the "Gentry Tailors" was not immediately learned. As one of his tentative conclusions before leaving for Seattle last night. May said that three of the victims. Chenevert, Flleder and Balsom, had made a grim fight for life. Evidence that all of the victims had first been tied up, or hod their mouths or eyes taped, was found.
