GIRL NOW TURNS
AGAINST LOGAN
Ethel Cooks Testimony
Stronger Than at
First Trial.
Admits, However, Ask
ing Him to Elope
With Her.

OAKLAND. June 7.-While at the
former trial OF Henry A. Logan for
enticing Ethel Cook to elope with
him she was reluctant TO testify
against him. she has made a com
.plete change OF front at the pres
ent trial OF the case and is volun-
teering all that she can remember re-
garding their acauaintanceship and
flight, Asked by Attorney Frick today
how she reconciled statements made to-
day with others made at the former
hearing. OF the case, the witness re-
piled:
s 7 felt at the former hearing that if
he went to prison l would be the one
Who had sent him there. feel differ
emily aboht it now, and believe that
IL he goes Jail it will be because of
his own acts and nothing that ! may
have done. For this reason 1 am try
ing to remember everything can. At
the other trial did not exert myself
to think back"
The case for the prosecution IS prac-
tically all in and 1t is expected that the
defense will begin putting in its case
tomorrow morning.
The entire day was spent in the
cross ss-examination of Ethel Cook, and
she proved herself shrewd witness
and made damaging statements against
the man with whom she was willing to
go through life few months ago.
While in the main her evidence was the
same as at the former trial, there are
many. additions and amplifiications in
her testimony.
On her cross examination she ad-
naitted that she had written to Logan
prior to their going away and
told him they had .better go before the
rains, because they would not be able
to see each other as easily after they
come on She also admitted that she
had asked Logan to take her with him.

knows what it did to Mayor Schmitz.
and the awkward situation that de-
veloped through the disease attacking
his Honor on the eve of critical cleo
ton. Now the germ of travel has
spread its culture into the system of
Marcus Blum. usher to the Mayor, and
he will depart today.
Marcus is not so great a man. Off
cially or physically as the Mayor, so
it stands to reason that his trip will
not be as extensive as the one under
taken by Schmitz. Marcus will not in
wade Europe and study mayoralty ush-
ering under the Lord Mayors attache
in London, nor by the precepts in vogue
in Berlin or st. Petersburg. Blum is to
give but a delicate and much reduced
imitation of his civic master
In connection with his duties as
usher in the Mayors office Marcus finds
time to be one of the managers of the
Empire Theater. which presents pop
ular- price amusement, and of the Jose
Theater in San Jose. AS a theatrical
magnate Mr. Blum may travel in pea
cock blue palace cars and no one can
say him nay.
The itinerary planed by the usher is
a skillful imitation of that of his su-
perior When the Mayor will be in
Venice, Italy, the usher will be in Ven
rec. Los Angeles County, and those who
have only been to the latter place say
that it is gayer than its prototype on
the Adriatic Sea. When Mr. Schmitz
will be on the Sahara Desert Blum will
be on the Mojave.
There will be this difference between
the tours: Marcus has promised Ruef
and Herrin that he will be home in
time to vote Anyway his ticket reads
good only until election day

1t was not the opium slave of tradi-
tion that Junie McCree portrayed
yesterday afternoon at the orpheum.
Instead of depicting the mental va
garies of the dope fiend" as he ap-
pears in the police reports and medical
lore, this actor who picked up his pro-
fession within a stonethrow of San
Francisco's Chinatown-where the spe-
cies abundantly stalked-mouthed
slummy slang with conference and a
rapidity of utterance that almost dove
tailed his words, and also displayed
a clearness of intellect absolutely at
variance with brain diseased. A
facial makeup of appropriate sallow
ness and his closest approach to the
"hop-head of reality-the most pitt
able object to be found in a great
city's mass of human wreckage. Not
once did he give the faintest inkling
of the extravagant joy and misery that
are ever quickly alternating in the
drug weakened mind. Fear. eXalta-
ton, despondency-aH We're ignored in
the interest of slang-slinging.
Some day we may have the victim
of opium realistically acted, but the
character must be conceived by
student of psychological science and in :
terpreted by PLAYER who, with other
essential qualifications, can penetrate
beyond the physical characteristics of
his subject. The Orpheum programme
does not disclose the authorship of the
vehicle of Mr.. McCree's extraordinary
personation. and the omission is char
liable, for as a sample of splendid ma
terial bunglingly constructed the piece
is distinct-even in vaudeville. 1t is
difficult to determine whether ii aims
to burlesque lurid melodrama or is an
ingeniously serious intensification of
that class of stage offering.
Among the other new people are the
Waterbury brothers and Tenny, who
play some novel musical instruments
pleasingly and enliven their act with
comedy that is never obtrusive. Fred
Watson and the Morrisey sisters sing
and dance neatly and change their
clothing frequently. the young women,
who are fairly burdened with pulchri-
tude appearing in one costume that is
suggestive of an advertisement of
body else's soap for the nursery. Then
some highly educated dogs are also
fresh arrivals.
Bresina sings new chansonettes and
exhibits a frock of such radiance and
perfection of fit as to momentarily halt
the breath Of feminine beholders. The
