Columbia.

"A Gentleman From Mississippi" had a
memorable reception at the Columbia
Theater last evening. Not only did the
United States Senate turn out in force
for the occa sion-at least all it's members
who were not indisposed or out of the
city-but there was goodly gathering OF
the representatives as well. Senator
James Gordon of Mississippi. whose re-
cent retirement was marked with an ad-
dress that has made sensation through
out the land. was the host of the evening
AS whole 1t was perhaps one of the
most distinguished audiences that ever
witnessed play. The players fully real
lied the fact and each seemed to put forth
his or her best efforts, with the result
that the bright lines of the play-and
there are many of them-the clever
thrusts of political character and the
striking situations, tense as well as ro-
mantle, won hearty appreciation.
The applause was frequent and at the
end of the third act amounted to an ova-
ton, in which former Senator Gordon
had pronounced share. Again and again
did the audience applaud with increasing
ing Dixie the while. until Senator Cor
don was obliged to arise and acknowledge
the compliment to him. Then there were
loud but vain demands for a speech from
him from all parts of the house.
1t was evident the venerable senator
did not regard the time or place as fit
ting for remarks from him, and Thomas
A. Wise co-author of the play with Har-
risOn Rhodes, who impersonated the title
role. made a little speech.
"A Gentleman From Mississippi was
seen here two years ago, when it created a
favorable impression. 1t tells of frank
honorable, jovial old planter, who was
sent to the Senate from Mississippi. and
who had been marked as a disable tool
by the scheming politicians with mer.

newspaper man. bright. experienced ano

ABANDONMENT LAW MAY
BE ENFORCED IN FUTURE
Effort Being Made to Reduce
Cost of Supporting

Considerable complaint having been
made by the board of supervisors in re-
gard to the annual cost of dependent
children placed in institutions by or
der of the court, the secretary of the
California Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children will take steps
in the cases of number of children
now in institutions to have the court
enforce the law concerning abandon
ment.
Many children have been judicially
taken from parents on account of the
intemperance or immortality of the pa
rents with the understanding that they
should pay S11 a month for each child,
but in many instances the parents have
not contributed a cent. In such cases
the court will be asked to declare the
children which have not been pro-
vided for by parents for one year as
"a abandoned" and when that is done
such children, under the law, will be
absolutely taken from the parents and
may by order of court be placed in
homes in which they will be properly
cared for and educated.
If this is done it will lessen the cost
to the city considerably.

CITY TREASURER
ON WITNESSSTAND
McDougald Testifies Cash and
Books We're Turned Over
to Bantel Intact

City Treasurer John E. McDougald
testified in Judge Seaweli's court yes
terday in the suit brought by the state
against former Treasurer Charles A.
Bantel for the recovery of s14,162, rep
resenting tax money that disappeared
during the latter's incumbency.
McDougald said that when .Bantel
succeeded him in January, 1906. he ac-
counted to Bantel for every dollar of
cash in the treasury, and that the
amount handed over agreed absolutely
with the total in the treasury books
and the auditors books. Bantel gave
him receipt for the money McDou-
gald said, but the document was de-
stroyed in the big fire. Benning Went
worth, book keeper in the auditor
office, who was present at the counting
of the cash. testified in corroboration
of McDougald.
II. X. Roberts, the expert accountant
who was employed by the board of
supervisors on the city's books for
eight months ending January, 1909,
testified that he found that the county
clerks special fund in the treasury
had been falsified to the extent of
S46,500. OF this sum $4,000 was re-
moved in April, 1906, and the remain
der in three amounts in the latter part
of 1897. The object of this testimony
was to show that the shortage was
created in BantePs administration.
1t developed yesterday that the de-
Tense is that as the money that dis
appeared was not segregated, but min
gled with other cash, the state can not
prove that the tax money was taken,
but that it might have been money
belonging to somebody else. Deputy
Attorney General Benjamin replied
that the law enjoined upon the treas
urer to put all the money into one
fund. The trial Will be resumed next
| Tuesday.

Portland Pledges Support

In dispatch to The Call last nj ght
Robert Newton Lynch. vice president
of the California development board,
who is at present in Portland, stated
that he had received the appended let
ter from H. Beckwith. president of the
Portland commercial club.
The letter deals with the statistics
OF the Pacific surety company. which
enormously set forth the amount of
deposits, capital and loans of Portland
banking institutions. These figures,
promulgated in San Francisco, were
copied by Portland papers and imme-
diately came to the attention of the
Portland commercial club.
In his letter President Beckwith as
sures Lynch that Portland is stanch
friend of San Francisco and will on
no account change that attitude. The
letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Lynch: Referring to use made
of the newspaper article showing incorrect
quotations OF Pacific coast statistics at
POrtlands> expense. we beg to assure you
that the officers and committees of the
Portland commercial club. the membership
of the club, the population of Portland and
the people Of Oregon are unanimously.
earnestly and enthusiastically in favor of
the selection Of San Francisco the site
of the Panama Pacific exposition.
No matter how erroneous the statistics re-
ferred TO may be. and matter what any
private enterprise in San Francisco may
circulate, tending to reflect on Portland
fpItldnu support VIII NOT III any Way be
diminished.
We do ask correction Of the statistics.
The capital Of Portland banks is $500, 600,
instead of 81 SOC. 900.
Deposits are s66. III 900, instead of
S56. SIS. 900.
Loans are So ,oOo. 900. instead of s24,-
eco. 600.
Our best information as TO the 1910
census indicates 222. 600 population inside
the city limits and 264, 900 inside the j
cent fare limits. thus making Portland the
third city on the Pacific coast inside the
, cent fare limit. instead of having only
10000 population the objectionable
statistics state.
While we appreciate this correction. we
do not regard il vital or important but
do want you to know that with
you and want To aid you in every way
in your campaign for the Panama
Pacific exposition.
