BUSINESS MEN TO
FIGHT BLUE LAWS
Portland Sunday Act Is to Be
Questioned as to Its Con-
stitutionality

PORTLAND, Oct. 3.-Judge Calvin U.
Gantenbein of the equity department OF
the state circuit court late today is
sued a restraining order returnable
Monday afternoon. enjoining the chief
of police of this city. the district attor-
ney OF Multnomah county and all other
city and county authorities from inter-
fering with or attempting to prevent
any man from conducting his business
tomorrow. The injunction is issued to
prevent the authorities from attempt
ing to enforce an old blue law which
forbids the transaction of all classes OF
business except livery stables, drug
stores, bakeries and one or two others.
Although liquor houses are specifi-
cally enumerated In this law. there is
another law which prohibits the sale of
liquor on Sunday and the restraining
order does not attempt to interfere
with the operation of that law. The
saloons will, therefore. remain closed
as usual.
While the direct effect of the re-
straining order is a matter of impor-
tance only to those Immediately con-
cerned, 1t Is, indirectly. of considerable
Importance, as in deciding the question
OF making the order permanent the cir
cult court will doubtless express it's
views as to the constitutionality of the
law.

BUFFALO BILL SHOW
WILDER THAN EVER
Colonel William F. Cody and His
Daring Band Will Put on
Splendid Exhibition

Buffalo BILL" the idol of young
America, is coming to San Francisco
next Tuesday, October s. with wild
and woolly frontier exhibition. and will
remain here five days. The show,
which has been travelling in Europe
with great success, is wilder than ever
with more daring feats and practically
every phase of early western life rep
resented. Red Cloud one of the few
remnants of the days of long ago, when
Indian chiefs trod the western plains,
is an important figure in the show.
Towering above all the principals in
prominence, however, is Colonel Will
liam f. Cody, the original Buffalo
Bill"
The scenes of the old west have
passed; this fact makes Buffalo Bilfs
wild west show of the more Importance,
for its delineates with amazing pre-
cision the typical battles between In
dians and brave American fighters.
The principal feature, depicting the
brutality and treachery of the Indian,
has been arranged after the famous
battle of Summit springs, July IL, 1869.
and another conflict-one of the many
described in the school boys history
will be represented in 'An attack upon
an emigrant train.
For accurate detail few theatrical re-
productions on the melodramatic scale
surpass the Great train holdup,"
which takes place at every exhibition
In the open air, with real express cars
and an engine, this reproduction will
take place. The bandits in full regalia
will play their bold part, while the ia
nous posses will swoop down upon
them in realistic fashion
While Colonel Cody has expended
much energy and large funds upon the
pantomimic features the handsone
Arabian horses still remain an at
tractive features. Rough riders galore.
Turkish zouaves, Russian Cossacks,
South American guachos, Mexican
vaqueros, royal Irish lancers, German
cuirassiers, Japanese soldiery and
United States cavalrymen form an i'm
portant part of the entertainment.
Displays of marvellous gunnery and
sharpshooting, of daring horseback rid
ing and acrobatic feats have been
given prominent part in the exhibit
tion.

Period of Entertainment Has
Been Set for Early in
February

MANILA, Oct 3.-The Philippine car
nival is to be an annual affair and the
carnival of 1909 will be held in Manila

due to the tremandous success of the
1903 carnival.
A period of entertainment covering e
at least one month will be the good for
tune of those visitors who see Manila
this winter. Added to the attractions
Of the carnival. which will be away
ahead of the last one. will be the milf
tarv division meet, whose date while
not yet definitely settled probably will
be during the latter part of January.

America, but from China. Japan and
period and the people Of Manila have
made arrangements to care for them
during their stay.

lice and the private detectives, Lum

money. but that the bank books do not

Four Thousand Persons Enjoy
Concert in the Greek
Theater
Paul Steindorff's Orchestra
Plays Amid Surroundings
OF Romantic Nature
By Walter Anthony

1t isn't worth while to inquire In
just what proportion the pleasures OF
moonlight concerts at the Greek thea
ter are due TO the music and to it's set
ting; how much is due to Paul Stein
dorff's orchestra and how much to the
surroundings. When the lights go out
over the peopled auditorium, and only
the two rows OF glowing bulbs over
the seated players remain. an imagi-
nary curtain goes up with the three
raps of the directors baton and a
fairy theater is disclosed. The moon
last night hung crescent over the
stadium; clumps of tree foliage formed
a dark background, as at a theater. and
the clear, starless sky above was the
dome of the playhouse. In front sat
1000 persons. who listened to the
musicians while they interpreted night
music. BY the way the turning out OF
the lights over the audience is not an
unmixed blessing, for huddled close to-
gether, parties of two forgot the music

YOM KIPPUR WILL
BE DULY OBSERVED
Services Arranged in the City's
Synagogues on the Day
of AtOnement
Occasion One of the Most Sa-
cred of the Year Among
the Hebrews

Services will be held in all the syna-
gogues of the city this evening as the
opening ceremonies of Yom Kippur or
the day of atonement. Beginning this
evening the members Of the congrega-
tions will enter upon "a hours fast
in keeping with the ancient practice
of the Hebrews. The services will con-
tinue all through the day tomorrow,
concluding at sunset.
The occasion is one of the most
sacred Of the year, and is today fraught
with the same deep significance as in
the centuries gone by. Its main appeal
is to the soul of the individual Jew,
and the spirit which the occasion en-
genders is designed to lay its entire
stress on the conscience as affecting
his relations with God. 1t bids him
look within and search deeply the
springs of conduct. II bids him also
to recognize the strained relations
which his sins have created between
himself and his Maker In other words
the Jewish idea of atonement and re-
pentance is built on the thought that
sin is not something introduced from
outside, but is a human fact due to
mans finiteness. and that man is his
own savior in that he has free will
enough to carry out the sincere resolu-
tions of his soul.
In order TO attain these things the
Jewish teachings prescribe that the day
of atonement be spent in worship,
away from the thought and activities
of every day life, the worship to consist
of such music. prayers and sermons as
Will most readily bring the worshiper
to a sense of humility, repentance and
forgiveness. AS a help toward humility
the Jewish law has ordained that on the
day of Yom Kippur all adults shall fast,
and by this abstinence from food and
by the subjection of all pleasures of
life 10 the spiritual ideal of self-control
give substantial evidence of humility.
At Temple EMANUEL, Otto Irving
Wise viii speak this evening, and the
musical program will be under the di-
rection of Cantor Stark. The musical
portion of the services at Temple Israel,
corner of California and Webster
streets, will be unusually elaborate this
year. Cantor Liederman has arranged
special program, and has augmented
the choir with a number of accom-
plished vocalists. An interesting fea-
ture will be the rendition of the tradi-
tional melodies by the cantor. The
services will be under the direction of
Rabbi Jacob Nieto. They will COM
mence at 80 o'clock this evening, and
will be resumed at $50 tomorrow
morning.
Services at the new synagogue of
Congregation Beth Israel in Geary
street near Fillmore will be directed by
Rabbi Levy. At the Bush street syna-
gogue Rabbi Kaplan will preside. Con-
gregation William Wolf will gather in
its newly acquired temple in Geary
street near Octavia.
