as the poet Marshbanks, was suffering
from a cold last night and his voice
was a bit husky, but his interpreta-

Morrell, while Miss Albertson as his

"a YANKEE TOURIST"
AT THE MASON Is A
LIVELY MUSICAL SHOW

"a Yankee Tourist" which began a
weeks run at the Mason last night, is
a case of the survival of the fittest. 1t
started out as straight play under
the title of The Gallopers," by Rich
ard Harding Davis. Not making the
success desired in that form it was re-
vamped, Wallace Irwin was called in
to write some songs for it and Alfred
Robyn was told to dope out some music
therefor AS a result it became a
melenge of that sort now generally
classified as musical comedy. In the
meantime 1t had taken on several new
names, of which the present one is the
last and seemingly the most clinging.
However, that this is an evolution
and not completely new creation need
not be held up against it; on the con-
trary, it would seem to make for its
oetterment. Most musical comedies
are growth rather than an inspira-
ton, and this has quite evidently i'm
proved during its evolution. In fact,
to those who saw THE Gallopers" it is
distinct progression. The comedy is
now not nearly so obscure the music
is Jingly and whistleable and the songs
are often above the usual inanity of
the music-comedy lyric. So that, all
told, 1t makes for good evenings en-
tertainment.
True, the carpentering can be rather
plainly seen, the songs are somewhat
dragged in and the action is hazy
therefrom. But one doesn't expect
drama in music comedy, and as the
large audience was delighted with the
sk1t as 1t stands, why cavil?
Raymond Hitchcock is always funny.
AS the tourist disguised unwillingly as
the war correspondent, he is excruciat-
ing in a droll, dry way, and his raspy
voice never fails to raise laugh. His
wife, Flora Zabelle, and Helen Hale
make lovely singing pair, and are a
delight to eye and ear. Walter Law

does an Irish officer well, but has too
little chance for his fine baritone voice.

DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
FAVORS DEFENDANTS
Los Angeles Business Men Indicted in
Land Fraud Cases Will Not
Have to Go to
Oregon

According to a decision of the United
States supreme court, handed down at
Washington yesterday, the Los Angeles
men indicted last year in connection
with the Oregon land fraud cases will
not be required to go to. Oregon to
answer the charges against them, un-
less the government can make out
prima facie cases against them.
The indicted men are Warren Gilel-
len, VIII D. Gould, R. w. Kinney, Lee
r. Meyers, r. d. Hines, DR.. A.. II. He'd
derly and Dr. D. NJ. Gordon, Meyers
and Hedderly did not oppose extradi-
tion, but appeared in court at Portland
and gave bond for their further ap-
pearance in the Oregon federal court.
The other men fought extradition,
taking their cases up to the highest
tribunal in the land.
United States District Attorney Oscar
Lawler, when asked what effect such a
decision would have on the pending
mean no prima facie showing had been
made by the government.
Mr. Lawler said the supreme court
ruled in one of these cases not long
ago that the Indictment was on prima
facie evidence, but that was not con-
elusive In other words the defendants
could give evidence in their own behalf
in the proceedings for extradition.
The remittitur has not been received
as yet from Washington, and until the
reversal of the decision OF the lower
federal court is in the hands of the
district attorney nothing can be done.
The defendants were much pleased
yesterday to learn of the favorable find-
ing by the supreme court at Washing
ton, but would not make any further
statements regarding the cases which
are still pending in court.

JAPAN TO PAY FOR
REFORMS IN tOREA

Toxic, Sept. 22.-Prince Ito, Jap
anese resident general to Corea,
leaves today for Seoul. He granted
an audience % the Associated Press,
in which he spoke freely of the flu
ture of Corea. The emperor and his
ministers have given unanimous APP
prevail to Ito's Corean program for d
reform administration. Prince Ito
has been steadfastly opposed to the
annexation of Corea, and this against
his friends and advisors. Instead, he
drew up a program providing for
equitable land laws, a fair system Of
taxation, protection of life and prop
erty, education for everyone, estab-
lishment of fair courts of justice,
and the abolition of corruption. The
estimated cost of these reforms to
Japan is S10,000,000 in five years,
and this has been approved. 1t will
not become a tax upon the Corean
people, but it is to be met by Japan.
Tie prince said:
Some people in Japan believe it
is a mistake not to annex Corea, but
l am convinced that annexation is
merely a crude and cruel means of
securing the desired friendship and as
sistance of Corea in order to build up
the two countries, whose interests
are mutual. Annexation is no pat
Of the emperors plan, unless il
should prove quite unavoidable. An
nexation would mean the loss of self
respect by the Coreans, it would be
too violent a remedy. The masses of
Corea have been sufferers from cor
rupt government, political intrigue
and oppression Of agriculturists IN
til they have become a menace to
Japan and until development in the
country has been hindered."
Ito declared there is no secrecy
about Japan's intended policy, and
expressed the opinion that the Cor
cans would assist in carrying it ont
when they learn the details. Ito

with seeming Indifference. He stood
near the jury box when the foreman
announced the finding, and beyond the

The crime Of which Constantine was

DEWEY SAYS KEEP

WOULD BE FOLLY TO SURREN-
DER VAST COMMERCIAL AD-
VANTAGE OF ORIENT.

Washington, Sept. 22.-In an inter
view Saturday Admiral Dewey
strongly resented the proposition to
surrender the Philippines, which o.
all men he was leading factor in
bringing under the American dag.
The admiral sets out clearly the rea-
sons which impel him to insist upon
the retention of the islands. The
strong point of his argument is not
based upon the military or naval i'm
portanCe of the archipelago but al
most altogether upon the great value,
present and prospective, of the Phil
ippines to America in the extension OF
cur trade with the orient, which he
regards as holding out the best
promise of commercial expansion He
points out that the possession Of the
Philippines enabled Spain to dominate
the commerce of the orient for 200
years; that every strong European ma
lions has for 10 years been trying t.
get a foothold for commercial and
naval purposes in eastern waters. He
argues that should the United States
dispose of the Philippines, japan
would get them and with the Japa-
nese islands and Formosa would be
in a position to command every gate
way to the orient, and the United
States would be completely shut out
