PAINTING & PAPERHANGING
TRYoUTs OF COAST ATHLETES.
Rose. Smithson. Starner and Bellah
 Qualify for Olympic Team.

In the Olympic team tryouts held a week ago at Stanford university, Ralph Rose was the star. as he won three events. He sent the 16-pound shot i7 feet, the 16-pound hammer 146 feet and the discus l23 feet. The two latter are rather poor perform ances, but the shot putting. though not up to Roses form, entities him to a place on the team. Another man who did we'll was Smithson of the Multnomah A. C. of Portland. He won the 100 meters in II Is seconds and the no metres hurdle in Is 3-5 seconds and this later performance would go as a worlds record had not smithson knocked down one of the hurdles.
 Bellah, the Stanford pole vaulter. won the pole vault at 12 feet. and he nearly cleared 12 feet inches. He also won the broad jump. with 22 feet 5lk inches. Bellah will be first class mate for Dray of Yale in the pole vault. and between them the pair should capture first and second. The 500 metre was a close race be- tween Andrew Glarner, holder of the coast half mile record, and Edmun- ston of Idaho. The latter won by inches in 1 minute 59 l-5 seconds. but a short time after Glarner won the 400 metres hurdle in 59 2-5 sec onds.
 Himrod. the star miller of Pomona, was absent on account of final ex- aminations and Richardson of the Olympic club had an easy thing of it in the I.500 metres. In { minutes 25 3-5 seconds Charming Hall. the Call ifornia high jumper. failed to reach the campus in time for the high jump and 1t was won by Martin of Stanford with the poor jump Of feet inches. The fifteen mile Mara thon vas won by Joseph B. King Of the Coast Artillery In hour sS min- utes 32 seconds.

DOES ART PAY?
Good Diction and Pure English the
 First Essentials to Success.
lBy Henrietta Crosman. .

(By Henrietta Crosman.) Does art pay? Not in the theater in Americas. The people here want amusement and they are unable to derive enjoyment and instruction from the same source. In America the people look upon the theater as they would upon circus. It is a place to go and be amused. It is not taken seriously and the player here who takes his audience seriously is sure of disappointment. I do not say this in spirit of disappointment my self; l have overcome that, and l am trying to meet conditions as they are. By this I do not mean to say that am debasing my art, but I appre- ciate the fact that, if we are to help the people out of their slough of despond," we must do it gradually, and cannot hope to have them, by one leap, reach higher plane.
 It is with regret that watch my fellow-players demean the theater and their art in an effort to hit the popular chord. Most of us have started out with high ideals and it takes a pretty strong-minded person to stick to the straight path, when she sees others reaping financial success and reward from methods that are to be condemned. Probably commer- cialism in the theater is responsible, but I doubt it.
 To achieve lasting success all projects must be on a sound financial basis, So don't think 1t is that that Is lowering the tone and ideals of our theater.
 For one thing 1t is very easy matter to have pure English spoken in our theaters, but 1t is more often bad English that We hear. The man. agers and producers are mostly re- sponsible for this, and 1t is because they don't know what is good Eng fish.
 We might also have good diction even if we cannot have good plays. There is no excuse for ignorance in the theater. Good English and dic- tion would not revoldtionize things. but they would be step in the right direction and the great mass of thea tergoers would receive, unknowing- ly, benefit. And that Is the only way by which we can raise our standard. the people must take their instruction sugar-coated with enter tainment. They must not know they are taking it.
 Then after awhile when they get more used to it, we can take of, lit- tie by little, the sugar, until they are able to take it without making face in fact, enjoy it. But that is when they become thinkers and derive en- joyment from thought A long and tedious evolution and one not to be accomplished in a day or a year in this hustling country of ours.
 First of all. let us have good Eng fish in the theater. which We do not always have in many first-class com panies. because the head of it is in- competent Then when we get that. We will be ready for another step and we will find that the public is ready to step with us.

The Plume Hearing.

There was a hearing in the pro- bate court to-day on Frank c. Plumes petition for an order to have the Colonial Trust Go pay him $1,200 which he claims is due him from the estate of his father, David s. Plume. The Colonial Trust Co is executor of Mr Plume's estate, and one of the provisions of his will was that his son Frank be paid $1,200 year in monthly payments of $100 each.
 The Colonial Trust Co claims that though 1t is executor it has no fund from which to pay this money claim ed because Frank c. Plume has brought half dozen suits against 1t and until they are disposed of for good and all by the supreme court, it cannot be ascertained where the legacy is to come from. He claims. on the other hand. that the legacy is overdue a year and that there is more than enough funds in the trust com pany's possession from which 1t could be paid. Decision was reserved.

CARTER HEARING
One Witness Talks About a Pain
 Killing Drug.

The fifth and probably the final hearing-at present--on the estate of Mrs Sarah E. Carter. was held in the probate court to-day before Judge K. A. Lowe. Attorney Ken nedy, representing the contestants of the will of Mrs Helen M. Ford of Waterville brought out that Mrs Charlotte Dikeman of New Haven was a school chum of Mrs Carter's daughters, Mrs Ford and Mrs Jen- nie c. Barnes. She was a regular visitor to the house in Watervllle from 1901 to January 1907 and she most always saw Mrs Carter. ln- yariably. Mrs Carter was under the influence of pain-killing drug for she was suffering for years from an incurable disease and was thereby forced to the use of ease promoting drugs. About the time she had her will drawn, it was Mrs Dikeman's opinion, that Mrs Carter was not competent to have such an import ant document drawn up. It was the witness's opinion that Mrs Carter did not understand correctly on ac- count of the influence of the drugs referred to upon her mind and she was far from able to transact any important business. Mrs Carter was about 78 when she died.
 A granddaughter of Mrs Carter was the next witness. The draft of her testimony was that she fre- quentIy called with her mother Mrs Ford to see her grandmother and generally Mrs Barnes, in whose house Mrs Carter was then staying, would not let them see her. But the witness contrived, nevertheless, to see her grandmother, and she said that on these occasions, her mind was not in state to draw up a will properly.
 It was expected that this after noon's hearing would finish the con- test over the will in the probate court, for it is now quite obvious that no matter which party wins, the other will appeal to the superior court.

John D. RockefeIler's Income.

understand that John D. Rocke- feller's income this year will be approximately $35, 5,0OO,000 The Standard oil will earn this year close to S1O0,OO0, 1000 in net. In these nei earnings Mir Rockefeller an equity through his stock hold ings of 30 per cent, or say an equity of y3O. 100000 out of s10O,00O, ,O00 of earnings. It will likely be Mir Rockefeller's wish to draw out only 40 per cent dividends. which would make his distribution this year about 100000. he permitting the remainder of his stock earnings amounting to SIS. 900 to be car ried over to the profit and loss ac- count of the company.
 Mr Rockefeller could draw out of the earnings of the Standard Oil this sesr s25,0e.0000 almost as easily as he could s12.0O. .0O0. Tn the past SIX years surplus earnings over all disbursements have been s200, ,000.- 900. so while 1t Is hard for the ordi- nary man to see where there Is rhyme or reason in adding to this already large surplus. Mir Rockefel- Ter sees something in it with Stand ard Oil earnings jumping ahead yearly by leaps and bounds.
 With Mir ROckefeller's income as stated above at approximately S35,- 100000 a year, the question arises how big a factor is he in security market. The odd s5.000. 900 could be knocked of to pay Mr Rocke- feller-s living exnpnseS which uroufd leave him s3O.000. .0o0 a year for reinvestment. Dividing 1e into ts0.000.OOV and the result is sz,- 50o.0 so that MT Rockefeller must find some way to invest every month t2.50o, o,0O0.-Adam's FInan- rfaI Letter.
