HAYWARD


James latest musical comedy, Break
ing the Bank said to be the cleverest
of any of the farces yet offered at this
theater. The banking business as car
red on by the three comedians, O'Brien.
West and Carter, contains some most
original and excruciatingly funny stu
ations, witty dialogue and indescrib-
able complications. The piece is inter-
spersed with bright musical numbers
and songs galore that promise to break
all records as a quick cure for the blues.
The vaudeville bill for the current
week includes Dubois, illusionist;
George Leslie, comedian and monolo-
gist; Madge Fields, soubrette, and new
motion pictures.

The Burbank

The good old ''rebel yell' is heard in
all it's fierceness at the Burbank thea
ter this week, and the long-furled
"stars and bars once more kiss what
Missourians" holds the boards and the
drawl of the old timers of that "show
me" state mingles with the harsher
voices of the later day, in full accord
with the rather picturesque costumes
of rs and thereabouts.
Incidentally, melodrama Of the bet
ter sort is wrought out in the course
of an evening, wherein are introduced
the inevitable mine. the fast horse, the
mortgage, the feud and the shooting
that seem to be esteemed by dramatists
part and parcel of any scene in the bor-
der regions of the southland.
Poor southland, she has been much
slandered on the stage, as we'll as off,
tinual reiteration of feuds and coward
! ly murders, which the chivalrous scions
of those lands utterly abhor.
But, eliminating this murder and sud-
| den death feature, and caricature of
a schoolmarm that even Boston would
disown, the play contains very much
that is excellent. 1t is halting at times,
| and much extraneous matter is dragged
in, but there is a story, and in the finale
it is told, with a deal of logic at that.
\
the feud have part in the tale. so per-
haps they are excusable after all. The
play partakes somewhat of the flavor
of "In Old Kentucky" although of
course greatly different. and it's writers
there were two of them-do not de-
part radically from the accepted melo-
dramic standards.
One thing the play does: 1t permits
excellent showings to be made by the
Burbank players. One and all seem to
have favorable parts--save and always
excepting Jane Kelton who is martyr
ized as the schoolmarm aforesaid.
Harry Lewellyn has one of the best
character parts, that of an old fortune
telling negro. William Desmond
shines as one of the several heroes,
Clay Girardeau; Harry Mestayer is the
impulsive Shelby Benton; II. S. Duff
field Is good as Stormy Jordan, the viii
lage saloonist, and Raymond Manion as
Mart Roberts, the auctioneer. William

men sinned promiscuously all through
the play and dozen men Of all sorts
helped them, but the great 'Why?"
still remained at the end.
But; though the query went all un-
answered, that didn't prevent plenty
of lurid depictions of the sins and the
sinners. In fact, from the time "the
seed was sown" in the Millionaires'
club, New York-all true melodrama
begins in New York, somehow-on
through the Pemberton mansion, the
cafe on the Hudson, the Golden
Fleece gambling hell, the club again
and finally into church, the sinners
wandered and the excitement grew
apace. And the spectators were thus
worked up to the keen edge of ex-
pectancy, and the expressions of SYM
pathy, scorn, delight and hatred were
as emphatic as the most blase stock
star could ask.
All the old Grand favorites were in
the cast. Lillian Hayward. with
straw colored head of hair and a lusci-
ously decollete gown, depicted Fiji, the
siren, in Act land did a sensational
roll down a fight of steps-to the vast
peril of the aforesaid gown, If not of
her feelings, the stairs being well
padded.
Brenda Fowler, peculiarly enough,
was not the unscrupulous woman, but
was folly-stooping young wife. Dick
Buhler was her business-entranced
husband; Thomas Lowell played the
cool villain, George Connor was a "f1y"
detective, H. H. Eahe was clever
dippy dude and Harry Auterbach was
a good Solomon Isaacs Louise Oren-
dorff played the spotless ingenue and
Juliette Chandler was a fascinating
Gaiety star, while the smaller parts
were excellent. The scenery was fine.

That world-old problem why Wo-

GREEN GOGGLES
INFLAME BIG BEN
LION ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIS
TRAINER
ANIMAL tanner is INTREPID
Declares He VIII Enter Lobengula's
Cage and subdue Him In Spite
Of the Beasts Evident
Hatred

William Caldwell, the famous animal
tanner from the Paris hippodrome,
barely escaped with his life several
days ago while in the cage Of Loben-
guela, the big African lion on exhibit
tion at Bastlake park, and at the time
awakened the hatred of the animal to
such an extent that he cannot ap-
proach within one hundred yards Of
the cage without arousing the lion to
fury Caldwell is, however, planning
to conquer the lion and expects that
the battle will take place upon the
vaudeville stage where an audience will
witness his feat.
When Caldwell came to Los An
geles two weeks ago, he was suffering
with a cinder in his eye and wore a
pair of green glasses as a protection
from the sunlight. AS a favor to
Keeper E. B. Rice of the Eastlake zoo
he attempted to attend a sick animal.
and later essayed to enter big Bens
cage. The lion objected to the combi
nation of strange man and green
glasses, and springing at Caldwell, who
was unarmed, forced him to beat a
hasty retreat from the cage. Even
after discarding the glasses, the lion
refused to become friendly, and remem-
bering that Caldwell has once been
forced to run from him, will not permit
him to approach within hundred
yards of the cage without storm of
protest
Has Killed Keeper
Keeper Rice said yesterday: ben
has never before acted in such man
ner toward anyone since his attempt
TO kill Mike Bolaski, his keeper, at the
Chutes. He would kill Caldwell, If he
could"
The task that Caldwell has set for
himself in conquering the beast, Is the
greater because of the known fact
that Ben is bad" having been sold
by the management of the Chutes park
zoo as worthless for show purposes
after his second attempt upon his
trainer, Mike Bolaski. Nor are these
battles the only ones in which the
big beast has shown himself to be
fighter In the arena across the Mexi-
can line from Ell Paso, Lobenguela
has killed seventeen bulls in open fight,
the last one after being gored so deeply
in the shoulder that the trainers de-
SPARED of his life.

and Murphy, who made the arrests,
found a double edged dagger, several
revolvers, a dark lantern and other
paraphernalia of similar nature, and
from this and other suspicious circum-
stances the officers believe that the
boys may be members of the gang
that have been perpetrating the recent
holdups. Watches and jewelry have
been recovered by the officers from per-
sons claiming they were purchased
from Heimer and Sledianoski.
Families Are Reputable
Neither of the lads is eighteen years
of age and both are from reputable
families. Heimer has been employed as
usher at the Orpheum theater and his
accomplice has at various times worked
in the same capacity at the Belasco
and the Orpheum theaters, but was re-
quested to leave both places.
A lad ran into the police station Sat-
urday afternoon and cried out that he
had found his stolen wheel. Officer
Strobe went out with the boy and
learned that it had been sold by Heimer
to the man in whose possession it was
found.
Going to Heimer's room on Central
avenue yesterday morning the detec-
tives found Sledzianoski, who lives at
439 Centennial street, in company with
Heimer. They were placed under ar
rest at once and when confronted with
the charge Heimer made a full con-
fession.
Helmer Describes Methods
In describing their methods Heimer
stated that when they located a wheel
they wanted to take one would ride it
for block or two and leave 1t stand
ing by the sidewalk. If they were not
detected the other lad would mount and
ride away with the wheel. In this
manner they avoided detection, and IL
confronted by the owner they would
explain that the wheel was taken by
mistake and in substitution for their
bicycle. None but the highest priced
wheels were stolen, and when once in
their possession were kept until the
excitement had subsided
One wheel was found stored behind
the bureau. three were found in the
hall of Heimers home and the others
were found scattered about the city
some having been sold and others were
at repair shops where changes in their
appearances were being made.
Heimers father is proprietor of the
messenger service office at Third and
Broadway and is heartbroken over the
AFFAIR.

Two hackloads of Knights OF

visit to Central Lodge, No. 18, OF
Salem, on Tuesday evening of this

visitors, and a royal good time re-
suited. Harold Jorgenson, charter
member of Marmion lodge, who was
confined to his bed by sickness when
the lodge was instituted in Dallas,
was initiated into the mysteries OF the
order, the floor work being performed
by the officers Of the Salem lodge in a
highly creditable manner. At the
close Of the lodge, a splendid supper
was served. The Dallas boys re-
turned home delighted with the royal
treatment accorded them by theil
Salem brethren.

A RELIC OF ANTIQUITY

The form OF census blank used In
the enumeration by Oregon assessors
was authorized by the Legislature OF
1864, and while the state has advanced
steadily along the line of a diversity
Of products, no change has ever been
made In the census blank to provide
for new conditions. Four OF the
states chief products-hops, prunes,
mohair and poultry-are not men
toned in the blank at all. The state
has been rapidly growing in Industrial
Importance all these years, but no
effort has been made by the Legislature
to keep the state census blank revised
to meet existing conditions. Secretary
of State Dunbar called the attention
Of the last Legislature to the i'm
portance Of q revision of the blank,
but no attention was paid to his
recommendation. The blanks sent
out to the county assessors have been
prepared In strict conformity to the
statutes, and no blame can attach to
Mr.. Dunbar for the insufficiency OF
the form. The census, however, will
be Of little value to the state at large.
The rich and prosperous counties or
the Willamette Valley will suffer most
by the poor showing, as many OF their
important Industries will not be
enumerated at all.
What sort Of showing will Polk
county make, with the hops, mohair
and prunes left out? The hop crop
last year brought into Polk county
not less than $l,OOO,OOO. The mohair
clip sold for $4,000, and the prune
orchards added nearly as much more
to the wealth Of the county. Imagine
a showing from Polk county with
these industries left out
1t is to be hoped that Assessor
Graves can find his way clear to in
struct his field deputies to enumerate
these products in addition to those
named on the blanks, and certify the
result to the Secretary Of State, to the
end that the showing Of Polk county's
resources may be made a matter Of
record, whether the figures are printed
In the official returns, or not. The
county Is entitled to this consideration

New Shoe Agency Established in
Dallas.

The Bee Hive Store has secured the
agency in Polk county for the famous
"Three Lakes" shoes, manufactured
at Three Lakes, Wisconsin. A large
shipment arrived this week. The
line represents ten different and dis
tinct styles in cruising pacs, cruising
shoes, driving pacs and driving
shoes, 10 and 10 inch high cuts. There
has been a great demand lately in
this vicinity for this high-grade line
of lumbermen's shoes, and, as every
experienced woodman knows, this
line Of shoes is strictly handmade,
and for fit and durability has NO
equal on the market The prediction
is that they will outsell all other
makes and be winner for this firm.
The Bee Hive Store has always held a
reputation for handling the best in
footwear, and this line will add to its
strong hold on the shoe trade OF
Dallas.

LANGDON BENTLEY is DEAD
Was Prominent In Polk County Poll
tics Twenty Years Ago.

Langdon Bentley, an old and we'll
known citizen of Polk county, died at
his home in Monmouth, Thursday,
March %, aged so years. He had
been in failing health for several
years, and his death was not un-
expected. He was a former State
Senator from Polk county.
Mr.. Bentley was born in Duchess
county, New York, in 1926. A few
years after his birth, his parents
moved to Ohio, and from that state to
Michigan. Here Mr.. Bentley grew to
manhood and married Miss Parmetia
Parmelee, a native of Canada. He
was elected county treasurer of a
Michigan county for two terms, and
was otherwise prominent in local
affairs. In 1870 he moved to Oregon,
residing for time in Marion county,
and afterwards moving to Polk. He
was elected State Senator from this
county in 1876. He is survived by two
childrn-Al Bentley, of Monmouth,
and Mrs. 1. G. Davidson, of Portland.

HOP MARKET IMPROVES
Prospects Bright for Sharp Advance
In Price in Near Future.

The hop market has frightened up
considerably in the last week or ten
days, and it begins to look as If the
bulls are to have their inning at last.
One sale at 28 cents is reported, and
there is said to be prospects Of a still
greater advance in the near future.
A prominent grower informs the
Salem Statesman that there are left in
the hands of the growers and dealers
Of this coast enough hops to last the
brewers Of this country in the active
brewing season, about six or seven
weeks only, while there are nearly
seven months to pass before the new
crop of 1905 will be available for brew
ing. OF these hops, on the coast, only
about 5000 bales are in the hands Of
dealers, held mostly by two Oregon
firms and one Washington firm, all
Of these dealers being stiff holders for
higher prices than are now offered.
There are only about 1900 bales of hops
in New York, in the hands Of dealers
and growers, including Pacific coast
hops.
In a recent communication J. j.
Clancy, manager Of the New York
Hop Reporting Company, Of New
York, says: "Not in many decades
has there been so peculiar situation
at this season. Just now England is
the focus of interest. With old stocks
used up, and facing a shortage Of
49,, 900 bales, the British brewers have
formed a strong combine against rul-
ing prices and are buying not a pound
beyond what they actually need, and
they are squeezing out some of the
weaker holders of hops. Whether this
policy can be maintained is an issue
to be sharply fought out soon, the
holders having organized a formidable
syndicate. The result will be a marked
effect in both hemispheres, as the
surplus Of both Germany and the
United States is already exported"
