After the meeting Of the trustees last
evening, Colonel y. E. Boothby gave to
the reporters the following letter from
Hon. Oscar II. Hersey of Buckfeld. Mr..
Hersey's letter Is not an answer to any
specific charges but Is Of interest as being
the first bearing on the management OF
the institution which has been given out
either by DR.. Bowers or the management
The letter Is rs follows:
"My Dear Sir-I see by the papers that
a certain DR. Bowers had made general
charges against DIR. Il. e. Holt and
while these charges are not itemized l
have n right TO make general claims and
can itemizs them and make them specific
IL necessary. Since the Rye and Ear In
tirmary was started it has fell to my lot
to help a number Of poor people to enter
tine infirmary and partake of its charity
and they We've successfully treated by DIR.
Holt without pay. One instance In par
ticular / call to mind of an old gentle
man who had become blind upon whom
DIR. Holt operated successfully and be eau
see today as well as most men OF his age
and ! never see him without his singing
the praises for DIR. Holt and the intirm :
ary, and while this Is little from the
subject he always speaks Of the excep-
tional kind treatment he received from
the attendants ana the nurses Now
have 10 acquaintance With and do not
know DIR. Bowers by sight Neither
have j ever heard anything about him
professionally or otherwise but i want to
make this suggestion, that 1t takes
a genius to build up and maintain a
great public and beneficial ent erprise
while an ordinary man and l nave
thought sometimes Il blockhead oou Id
tear the same down and relish the debris
While DIR Holt is human and quite
likely has erred from what he might have
thought were impositions, / ask for him
the benefit of the doubt. That institution
is appreciated by the people In this sec
tion Of the state and should be by every
citizen of Portland.
II am very truly,
20. ii. HERSEY."

Dodson was asked IL he SO considered 1t
"Of course. consider acting an art, I"
he replied, "but know here are many
who do not. 10 be sure, 1t is very much
abused and. like many other arts, often
deteriorates into a trade. An actor is
born, not made. l do not believe In the
made to order actor, and while | admit
that by training one may reach state
OF respectable mediocrity unless he pos
sesses that indefinable something, call
1t what you will, he never becomes an
artist, but always remains piece OF
mechanism. the quality of which depends
on the amount of training received. DO
dramatic studies, for my intention is
anything but that. What / wish to con-
