Two Big Houses.

In spite of the inclemency of the
weather and the natural excitement
incident to the election, Leavitt's
Bright Lights played to two capacity
houses at the New Orpheum last
night.
The greatest bill of the season, is
the unanimous opinion of the multi
tudes who nightly throng the cozy lit
tie Alder street play house, and this
opinion is amply attested to by the
delighted audiences of the New Or
pheum.
Mutually and Bannon are doing

in a scream, and they hold their audi

SIGN OF THE FOUR.

The great character of Sherlock
Holmes in the "Sign of the Four" the
best known of all fiction detectives
has been ably introduced to the read
ing public of the world by Conan
Doyle that many there are who believe
that Sherlock Holmes is real flesh
and blood detective, carries even
greater interest in the stage version
than in the book. When produced by
such artists as Mr.. Theodore Torch,
supported by a large company OF ca
pable people such as Mr.. Torch car
ries with him, Sherlock Holmes takes
on an added interest and the audi
ence entirely forgets that it is play
it is witnessing and becomes entirely
absorbed in the interesting and thrill
ing story so cleverly unfolded before
it. Mr.. Torch carries his own special
scenery and mechanical effects are
presented that are the marvel of stage
history. Never was the realistic so
nearly approached in a stage produc-
ton as in Sherlock Holmes as pre-
scented by Mr.. Loren and his company
under the personal direction of Mr..
Tom B. Lotus and the management

Whitman College Debate Council
Is up a Tree
UNDECIDED As TO SUBJECT OF DEBATE
PROSPECTS OF WHITMAN VIC.
TORY OVER OREGON ARE
BRIGHT THIS YEAR.

The Whitman college debate coun-
Gil is up a tree over what question
they will submit to Pacific university
for the debate to be held here next
January.
A meeting was held Monday even
ing but no definite decision was
reached. Some phase of the municip-
al ownership question is favored, also
the inheritance tax and the student
government are right up to date
questions at the present time. It may
be one of these three, and, as likely
as not neither of them, but the ques-
ton must be sent to Forest Grove in a
few days now.
Chances are Good.
The chances of victory for Whit
man are bright in the Pacific contest
this year. The Oregon institution has
lost w. B. Rasmussen, their star de-
batter, and Prideaux, another member
of the team, which went against the
Missionaries last winter. Whitman,
on the other hand, has suffered no
material loss and will be able to meet
them with as strong an aggregation
this year as last. Greenslade is now
the veteran debater of the college and
is far and away the best rebutter in
the institution. There is little doubt
from present prospects that ne will
lead the team which will meet Paci-
fic in the forensic arena.
May Have Coed.
1t is more than likely there may be
a coed On the Pacific team this year.
There are several bright girl speak
ers in the institution. Besides, Whit
man has had luck in debating when
girl has been on the team and the
coaches who pick out the team are
known to be in favor of having one
member of the team a girl, other
things being equal.
The debate prize offered by the class
Of 1906 will be an added incentive to
literary effort on the part of students
this year. This prize goes to that un-
dergraduate student of Whitman COL
lege or Pearsons academy who shall
college in any year. This will mean
the Pacific team this year.

TO EXPELE THE BARTEMDERs

AS a sequence to the fight waged
by the bartenders union against the
endorsement of j. J. Schiffner's can
didacy for justice of the peace,
charges are to be filed against the
union in the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil.
Charges are also filed against a
member of the musicians union for
making disparaging remarks about
union labor candidates a, the repub-
lican primaries.
The charge against the bartenders
as a union is that members fought ].
J. Schiffner, defeated yesterday for
justice of the peace, which is con-
trary to union principles.
Efforts will be made, it is assorted,
to tin can" the delegates from the
bartenders' union out Of the trades
and Labor Council and secure the re-
vocation Of the bartenders' charter by
carrying the fight to national head
quarters.
The bartenders' union, at a meet
ing held Monday night at Labor
Temple, endorsed the candidacy OF
Judge Huffman for justice. In view of
the fact that the Trades and Labor
Council had endorsed J. ]. Schiffner,
the action of the bartenders created
of Schiffner.

RESULTS ENCOURAGING.

With practically complete returns
the result of the election is shown
to be a narrow escape for the repun-
lican ticket in many directions. Al
the same time, through strong organ
ization of the workers and the apa-
thy of the many who took no real
interest in the campaign, one or two
men, who should have been defeated,
were elected to Office. Yet the
strength of the independent vote was
we'll demonstrated and the great re-
duction in republican majorities de-
monstrates that, with proper organi-
cation, the citizens will be able, in the
future, to successfully oppose gang
politics.
A great measure of the success of
Rupp is due to the adoption Of the
same Matchmaking tactics so success
fully operated in the last republican
convention when, with a disgraced
minority the "Bunc"- KEGS crowd was
able to buffalo the Ankeny leaders
and force their candidates on the
ticket.
A few days ago, with certain defeat
staring Rupp in the face, the bosses,
of the socalled gang boxers, notified
the Ankeny leaders that unless their
candidate, Rupp, was elected they
would put up another fight against
Ankeny men in the succeeding cleo
tons. AS usual these unprincipled
men won out against the weak lead
ers and the word went forth to crowd
in Rupp, even at the sacrifice of other
candidates. 1t is this which made the
Rupp victory. Treachery and gang
politics prevailed in that instance,
but the scope Of the ringsters was so
narrowed that another contest will
find them in hopeless minority. 1t
is true they won the prosecuting at
torney but they lost much in the way
of patronage-and without patronage
such politicians may not exist.
But for that lamentable lack of
organization more Of the anti-gang
candidates would have been elected.
At many of the polls there was not a
single worker in opposition to the
ring boosters. The full vote was not
brought out and the professional
voters worked their own sweet will.
Yet the independents should not be
discouraged. Gang politics is doomed
and there can be no better evidence
of the fact than that public spirited
individuals went to the polls without
solicitation or influence and voted ac-
| cording to their own lights, Indifferent
to the pleas of party workers. It
| means that with proper organization
in the future the Independents will be
| able to have a stronger voice in the
elections and administrations.

WHEN WILL COAL GIVE OUT?

L. G. Chiozza Money, who, despite
his outlandish name, is a member of
the British parliament, has been warn
ing newspaper readers in his country
that decadence in modern industry is
certain to follow the exhaustion Of
the English coal supply. He points
out that whereas not very long ago the
order of coal production was Cd Bril-
tain CD America, 60 Germany, the
order now stands Cd America, .(2)
Britain, 60 Germany He predicts
that in not very many years this or
der will still be further changed by
Germany's moving up into second
place. Coal, as Mr.. Money puts out,

Leoncavallo is said to have received
quite the most rousing welcome, evO-

tofore he mas been known solely on
account of "Pagliacci' he may now be
considered as one of the popular COM

seven lyric artists from the cast Of
among whom Me danes Calvi, Ferra-
