MAN
SAYS K. 8 {.
WILL QUIT

.(By United Press Leased Wire. }
PORTLAND. Ore, May e.
Klaw & Erlanger no longer con-
troll the theatrical situation in
America, according to the an
nouncement made by Calvin Hell
Zig, who has Just returned from
New York.
In the future Klaw & Erlanger
will practically be reduced to pro-
ducing their own plays, except
with regard to the theaters in
New York city.
Local theatrical men believe Mr..
Heilig is mistaken. Klaw & Err
LANCER have long-term contracts
to book all road engagements for
Charles Frohman, Henry B. Har-
ris, and the other syndicate"
producers. Klaw & Erlanger vol
unfairly withdraw from the west
ern territory. The Shuberts, how
ever, control enough attractions
to supply western needs.

f Economic Work--Keep Cool

tmop stick.
A wise housekeeper know
keeps paper over the catch-all
pan under the burners of the gas
stove. and changes 1t often. That's
easier than securing the pans.
On the sill she keeps small
pot Of growing parsley. and she
always has green on hand to flavor
soup and to decorate the meat
platter.
In the cool OF the morning she
bakes a few individual custards
and sets them away to cool for the
evening meal, and junket tablets
are kept on hand for quick and
easily prepared dessert. Hot spicy
puddings and indigestible pies, she
says, are not tempting in summer
time.
She boils sugar and water to-
gether until rich strip is formed.
When cool she adds juice of lem
ons and bottles the strip. She
sets 1t in ice chest to be ready for
"a thirsty family or unexpected
guest. 1t keeps indefinitely.
She always has a hw cans of
salmon on hand or cold meat of
some kind. And salad "makings,"
also.
And IL we were wise we would
always have a comfortable corner
on our porches where we could
rest and cool off to our hearts
content when the days work is
done. II We buy a 10-cent can of
cool-looking green paint and use
1t on those easy old chairs most of
us have stored away in the attic,
they would be just the thing for
the porch cosy corner"
The hair should be shampooed
every two weeks, cool sponge
bath should be taken daily and a
hot one twice a week, we ought
to eat plenty of salads and green
vegetables, wear white stockings
while at home about the work to
save our feet, and be cool, COM
Portable and good natured the
whole summer through.

"SWAAMP BERNARD Identified
AS NOTORIOUS QUAck WHO WAS
IN POLICE TOLLS on COAST

A Seattle correspondent de-
clares, in a communication to the
police, that DR." Pierre Ber-
nard, the degenerate occult
faker now held under $4,000
bond in New York, on complaint
of Miss Gertrude Leo, the Tacoma
stenographer, is none other than
Perry Baker, formerly well known
in this city as a medical quack
and one-time astrologist.
This Seattle correspondent
writes a member of the local po-
lice department, quite unoffi-
cially, and expresses the opinion
that Bernard is the same person
who operated extensively in cities
along the Pacific coast several
years ago.
Bernard, or Baker, is declared
in the letter to be of shady char
acter, "sure thing" gambler and
a white SLAYER. His mode of OPP
Grafton, according to the commu-
nication received by the police
here, is to pose as a teacher OF
ancient occultism, by which he is
able. by the aid of men and wom-
en- "steerers," to enthrall young
women to his apartments, under
the guise of teaching them the
cult. He is said to make a bust
ness of separating prepossessing
married women from their money
and their husbands through his
supposed occult powers.
This man is a bad hypnotist
and established what was known
as the Egyptian club in San Fran
cisco some years ago and prior to
the earthquake" continues the
writer of the communication to

WASHINGTON, d. c., May c.
President Taft will accept the
wrecked and mutilated railroad
regulation bill as it now stands in
congress, and If it Is passed in its
present shape will receive the sig
nature of the executive. This in
timatiou was given to the house
and senate leaders today after the
presidents return to the capitol.
The matter was gone over thor
oughly during his trip back to
Washington yesterday. After
considering the bill as it has been
amended in both houses, the pres
ident believes that there Is still
enough good in it to warrant its
passage.
Although the measure has lost

for the hardest and which were
considered the pet legislative

COTTON MEN WORRIED
Planning to Meet London De
mand for Eank Guarantees.

NeW Orleans. July Zz.-SouJher1 bankers
and business men are hard al work on the
problem presented 70 them by the recent
decision Of London bankers, in connection
with cotton bills Of lading, that beginning
II November American cotton bills OF lad
ing shall be negotiable only when they are
guaranteed by an American banking insu-
tuition
This action grew out OF the frauds alleged
10 have been 9erpetrated through forged
bills OF lading, and Southern cotton men
realize that commercial consequences OF
vast IMPORTANCE will follow the stand taken
br the English bankers They say that
should American banks refuse TO guarantee
cotton bills Of lading. the cotton business
Of The South would be thrown Immediately
7.pon 4 cash basis. and that this would
mean q drain Of millions of dollars from
the monetary centres OF the Counrrv-
One Of the many plans suggested as Z
solution IS that ne railroads which are the
Hrer II receive The cotton, guarantee the
bills Of Iading to the American banks,
which n turn shall guarantee them 70 the
hanks abroad. In this connection an I'M
pcrrant conference Of leading cotton men
,r{ll be held N New Orleans.
