On Stage Since Childhood.

Miss Marlowe explained to-day that she
had been actively engaged as an actress
since she was twelve years old, that her
husband, Mr.. Sothern, had been on the
stage since he was q youth and that
both Of them hsd come to the concIu-
sion that they were entitled to say
good-by to the profession to which they
had given so many years Of toll
Miss MarlowS said that since childhood
she had practically lived in trunks, on
railroad trains and in hotels. There
had, Of course. been satisfying compen-
sation for these various privatIons IN
the inspiration and solace Of the work
to which both she and Mr.. Sothern have
been devoted, yet she felt that the time
had come for her husband and herself
to enjoy that domestic quiet which pub
lie life does not allow.
1t was the theatrical sensation Of the
day when Mr.. Sothern and Miss Mar
lowe Joined forces nearly eight years
ago. They have continued 10 act to-
gether, except for one season, since that
time, and so extraordinary has been
their artistic and financial success as
Shakespearean stars that they have
come to be considered as the CHEZ dra-
matte institution OF the American stage

to Enjoy Private Life.

Cleveland. Ohio, June G-E- H sotherr
and Julia Marlowe announced to-day tha,
after two more seasons they would retire

time 1t has been the purpose Of these
most successful Of American stars tc

ties and then say farewell to stage LIFE
forever.
Mr.. sothern said for Miss Marlowe and
himself that It was not thelE purpose

MEXICAN BANDITS SACK RANCH AMERICAN WOMEN IN PERIL
ENDORSE CHANGE
IN GAME LAWS.
ASSOCIATION IN FAVOR
At Meeting Last Night no Disscntion
Is Heard From Proposed Changes
in Laws on Grouse and Deer-May
bic From Sept. TO Nov 1--Other
Changes Discussed.

Without a dissenting vote the Una
tilla County Fish and Game association
went on record las evening as endOrs-
ing the changes in the grouse and
deer law proposed by the state board
of fish and game commissioners. The
changes If adopted, will make the
open season on grouse and deer from
Sept. / to Nov 1.
Resolutions were also adopted en-
dorsing the proposals to shorten the
duck season. cut down the duck linn
1t. to place limit on geese and to for
bid the sale of geese except for
limited period.
Contrary to expectations there was
no opposition at last nights meeting
to opening the grouse season two
weeks later and closing it a month
later than at present All those pres
ent last night who were previously
opposed to the change had apparently
been brought around to the other way
Of thinking and when the matter was
put to a vote the resolution of en-
dorsement was carried unanimously.
Last nights meeting was the most
largely attended of any held in many
months and by far the most represen-
tative. The one question which pro-
voked the most discussion was the
proposal to take the protection off of
female deer, allowing hunters to kill
either sex. The majority OF those
present, however, were opposed to this
change. It's strongest advocate was
Frank Hilbert, the pioneer Camas
Prairie rancher He though il would
be for the best interest of the sport
to cut the limit down to two or even
one but to allow each hunter to kill
the first deer he can find, regardless
of sex.
Another one of the boards proposed
changes which met with favor was
the one cutting the deer limit from
five to three. Many of those present
We're in favor of a still greater reduc-
ton.
Just before adjournment a resolu-
ton strongly endorsing the state
board of fish and game commission
ers for the work done since the ere,
alton of the bord was adopted amid
enthusiastic applause.

ALLEGES THAT FATHER
KIDNAPPED HIS SON

Whether or not a father has the
right to kidnap his own son when the
parents are not divorced is a point
involved in a case now ep here as
the result of the taking away yester-
day of Freddie Lyons. little pupil at
the Hawthorne school. by his father.
Fred Lyons, formerly of Pendleton.
1t appears that for some time past
the father AMI mother of the boy
have been estranged but that no le-
gal action looking to separation has
ever been taken. The mother lives
with her parents Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam McGregor. at I'll Lilleth street,
and has been caring for the child,
who until yesterday was a pupil in
the room OF Miss Lecil Evans at the
Hawthorne school.
Shortly before noon yesterday Ly-
ons went to the school and applying
at the room where the little fellow
was studying asked to see the boy.
Ignorant of the fact there was plot
against the little fellow, the teacher
allowed the boy to go with the faith
er. The father had an auto in wait
ing by the school and Immediately
drove to the depot 1t is the suppose
tion that father and son left on No.
II yesterday for Hillsboro where Ly-
ons' relatives live.
In hopes of forcing the father to
give up the custody of the lad, Mrs
Lycns and parents have made com
plaint to the officers and the question
was put up to Deputy District Attor-
ney Newberry. However, warrant
was refused by Mr.. Newberry, who
held that since the couple have not
been legally separated there is moth
ing to justify the warrant. 1t is un-
derstood the grandparents of the boy
do not propose to give up the figh'
and declare they will have Freddie
Jr.. brought back to his Pendletor
