FIRST SPEECH WILL
BE FOR EXPOSITION
Senator Piles, of Washing.
ton, Tells of Northwest.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 20
(SpeciaD-In his maiden speech in
the Senate, Senator S. H. Piles, of
Washington state, will urge that the
Federal government aid the Alaska
Yukon Exposition, to be given at
Seattle in 1909.
He will give a striking presentation
of the resources and possibilities Of
the Northwest.
In speaking of this section of the
country last night, Senator Piles
said:
"The Pacific Coast States are
bound to become the front door of
the United States in the next gener-
alton, and the coming Alaska-Yukon
exposition at Seattle will convince the
people of the country of the fact.
when we recollect that in 1874
there were not more than 300 people
in the entire Oregon Territory and
consider the empire that has grown
out of their initial efforts, it is not
difficult to see that the exposition at
Seattle will have something interest
ing to show
There is no more romantic story
in history than that of the settlement
o. our Northwestern States, yet the
settlement and development of them
and the entire Pacific coast section

HERO INDIFFERENT
AS TO HIS MEDAL

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Nov. 90
(SpeciaD Westley Morrison, a
carpenter, saved a man from drown
ing in Lake Temiskaming, Ontario,
last June, and in recognition of his
risk the Canadian Humane Society
voted him a medal When the award
was made, Morrison had left, and it
was with difficulty he was located in
Cincinnati.
When found, in local suburb, he
was working quietly at his trade, TAX
ing no steps to claim his reward,
which, as clippings from newspapers
in his possession showed, he knew
was waiting for him.
When invited to do so, he said he
would call on Mayor Dempsey, the
first chance he gets, and receive the
medal the Canadian society sent to
the mayor TO deliver to him. He re-
fuses to become excited over the af-
fair. He saved a companion's life
seven years ago.

There are 900,000,000 people bor-
dering upon the Pacific Ocean, whose
civilization is expanding and whose
wants are, therefore, giving us greater
incentive to seek their trade. With
the aid of irrigation our resources are
being exploited to satisfy these wants.

in the next quarter century no man
can tell.

no. war l have no doubt that such
difficulties as exist will be adjusted
by diplomacy The Japanese have a
different standard of living than ours.
For them it is excellent, but for us
it is not. They cannot assimilate

should realize our position and the
fact that we do not disrespect them

"checkers.n

At the Jefferson theatre tomorrow after noon and night there will be produced the successful play, Checkers" a dramatiza- ton of the book of the same name by Henry M. Blossom, Jr. The story is that Of youth who dallies with the race tracks until he loses his heritage and be- comes a follower of games of chance for a livelihood. In the play, Checkers is pulled up in his giddy career by meeting with Pert Barlow, daughter of the Croesus Of Clarksville. Ark Pert mis- understands Checkers at first. because she suspects him of being the cause of the sowing of a large crop of wild oats by Arthur Kendall the Beau Brummel of her native town. Subsequently, when Check CTS assists in dragging the eonvivial Ar thur from ruin, Pert see the good in the young man and enters upon scheme of salvation for him. Pert's father has some ideas on the scheme or salvation which inspires him to interference. Checkers reyerts to the race track, after being prac- tically driven from Clarksville Pert meets him at the derby in Chicago. just as he has won Sj000 on a long shot, and though to win 1t he bet a $50 gold piece which she gave him as keepsake she proppt- ly forgives him when she learned that he did it for her sake. Checkers sub sequently by an adroit trick and the use of his $5O0O saves Pert's father from ruin and wins his gratitude. thereby paving the way for a smoorn path to love;s young dream.
 Hans Roberts plays the title role of Checkers and has made an uIduestioned hit, not only in New York Where it has played fourteen engagements In the past three seasons and will play another later

Brady's story, "A Corner in Cofee.n The play Is a comedy, pure and simple. but no character that Mir Murphy portrays, how ever amusing and fancifully spun. Is lack ing in the human qualities which give verity and balance. So it is not sur prising to hear that Mir, Murphy makes the old colonel a figure of naturalness as well as humor, Virlle as well as funny. and sometimes touches the wells of tears as surely as he does the springs of laughter.
 Since the deaths of Joseph Jefferson and Sol Smith Russell there remains no one who portrays the honest growths of the native soil with more subtle appreciation of the April weather of human nature than Tim Murphy Strength without heroics, sympathy without sentimentality laughter without buffoonery, have marked this artists career. "A Corner In Coffee Is Just the sort of play Tim Murphys ad- mirers expect of him and love to see. It Is an American comedy on a background of vital current American issues. Italy and Mexico and other Latin countries have their lottery, which is one of the main arteries of national life. Puritanical America disavows a lottery, but main tains a huge gambling and speculation machine known as Wall street, nesting under the charitable wings of finance. "A Corner In Coffee" is a play about Wall street, panorama of those Intimate ma nipulations of millions and billions which ride to ruin or glut with gold thousands a day. A visit to Wall street would give a less vivid and realistic impression of the inner workings of the system of frenzed finance than does the Brady com edy, because the play eliminates confu- sion, centralzes the interest about great story, and makes clear every step of the way of one of those Titantic financial games known as creating "a corner The circle which the comedy invades is that exclusive set inhabited by captains of industry, the muti-mllionaires The play is picture of both sides of millionaire life the home and the office.

"Ths Vanderbilt cup.e

Joseph Gaites has added another pro- ducton to his growing list of successes. This time 1t Is the much discussed auto mobile comedy drama, 'The Vanderbilt Cup which will be presented at the Jef- ferson theatre for three performances, Friday and Saturday nights. January 25 and 26, with matinee Saturday. The production is described as a large affair, requiring three acts and ten scenes, and comprising some new and startling eff fleets. It's drawing qualities are best ex- pressed by stating that 1t had run Of eight months at the Broadway theatre, New York, and a three months run in Chicago, at the Colonial It Is said to be put on tour with all the display which marked it's metropolitan runs. The com pany numbers sixty. The music Is catchy and the ensemble of automobile girls, Is promised to be great feature.
 The story Is built upon new lines upon the automobile race To be more literal, it Is based upon the Vanderbilt Cup race, an annual event at Mlneola. L. l., where world famous drivers com pete for the beautiful cup presented by w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.
 The opening scene Is laid in a uuiet village where pretty Dorothy Willets lives. The chatter of an automobile brings Banting a New York lawyer. to her door, to tell her that she is named by her wealthy old uncle, Curt Willets, as his heiress, and to accompany Banting to New York. She goes, chaperoned by her strong-minded aunt and escorted by the lawyer and Dexter Joyce. an ardent Ad- mirer. Next Is shown the rotunda of the Msjorie Wellington hotel. in New York, | famous hotel exclusively for women, where mere man Is ignored and save for the lone clerk. Is neither employed nor admitted. Here after many ridicul- ous situations, Curt Willets, comes in search of his niece.

 There was no sort of doubt about the personal cordiality expressed for Thomas Jefferson. It is such a very short time ago that senior Jefferson was here that comparison, at least mentally, of the methods of the younger with those of the elder, Is inevitable.
 It is fitting praise for the present ex- ponent of the role to reassert that he well and ably fills his distinguished fathers place; and that the son makes the telling scenes quite as pathetic and quite as really humorous as did the father. Be- sides this. he achieved distinctly per sonal triumph, and in numerous little

 It is no light task to follow in, the footsteps of such notable examplef and be able Ut the same time to lend a charm of genuine individuality to the role. Thomas Jefferson has a remarkable pair of dark and expressive eyes, which. par ticularly in the scenes where he is trying to tell the son of lis old crony, Vedder, all about the various people of the village, lend mitch to the action Again, in tho fine scene where the legal wrong of Beck man is about to bc consunmeted, these same eyes snap and burn with a resur- rected Ire, as 1t were. which is very pie tutesque. Mir. Jefferson Is also delight full. in the dialectic portions of the play, and in the waking up scene, where the long sleep has brought on unwonted stiff ness of joints and rheumatic pains every time he moves, quite won the hearts Of all who ever had a "crick-in- the back or any similar aliment.
