: Yet she is the most popular actress
on the American stage. Why?
She has never been divorced In
deed, she has never married. She
never had her diamonds stolen.
Scandal has never attached to her
name. She is not transcendently
beautiful. She never talks to inter
viewers.
Refusing to court publicity she
gets it by miles of columns. :
The public long ago tired of Nat
Goodwin's' many wives, FRITZ
Scheff's tantrums, the tendency Of
the late Richard Mansfield to hurl
pork chops, and all the eccentricities
of prominent stage folk.
Maude Adams has proved her
worth by not resorting to these un-
worthy aids to success. So far as is
known, she never had a love affair.
She is passionately fond of children.
The world lost a fine mother when
Maude Adams became an actress.
She has made millions for Froh-
man and a million for herself.
Though a public figure, she is as in
accessible as the Emperor of Japan.
This aloofness is part of her
charm. The public knows nothing
and never viii of her individuality or
private life All alleged interviews
with her are fakes.
You could stay at her hotel and |
never see her. She enters and leaves
by a private entrance.
Maude Adams refuses to be seen
in moving pictures. For one film she |
has been offered as much money as
she can earn in a season.
The head of a great moving picture |
syndicate boosted the other day:
''WeT get her yet"
But he never viii.

Little Child Saves
Older Playmate

Marshfield Record: Six-year-old
Esther Berglund, daughter of Mrs.
Susan Berglund of North Bend, is the
heroine in an event which resulted
in saving the life of her 10-year-old
companion, Dorothy Wood, daughter
of a North Bend barber. The circum-
stance occurred on Saturday afternoon
while the two tots were strolling
about Simpson park. They found a
spring well, and, as all children, they
were curious to know how deep the
water was. Dorothy obtained stick
and poked it into the water as far
as she could reach and in trying to
extend her reach farther she lost her
balance and fell into the water.
The we'll was about two-thirds COW
cred with boarding to protect it from
dirt, and when little Dorothy came
up she was underneath the boards
and could not get out. She went
down again, but when she came up
the second time, struggling for
breath, Esther had prepared herself
to help her out, and was lying flat
on the ground ready to reach for her
companion. Esther pulled Dorothy
from under the boards and succeeded
in getting her out of the well.

New Typhoid Cure.

Centralia, Wash, Dec. 24.-Frank
Lott, the editor of Vader, Wash, who
recently claimed to have discovered
a blood cure for all diseases and who
asserts he can cure typhoid fever in
two hours, was given another set
back here Tuesday. He had made
arrangements with City Health Of
ficer Kniskern by which he was to
have been given an opportunity to
test his cure on one of the typhoid
patients in the armory.
DR.. Ostrom, physician of the ma
tional guard, however, refused Lott
admission to the armory. 1t was be-
lieved today that the epidemic of ty-
phoid had been controlled.
The number of cases reported are
daily growing less. Two hundred
and seventy persons have been taken
ill with the disease since the epidemic
started.

Coast Gets Two
Reserve Banks

Washington, Dec. 26.-That the
Pacific coast would get two federal
reserve banks was the consensus OF
opinion in official circles here this al
ternoon.
One, it was considered certain,
would go to San Francisco. For the
other, 1t was believed Seattle or Port
land would be chosen. In it's cam
paign to get one of the banks Seattle
was said to be the most active city,
not only on the coast but in the coun-
try. Portland, however, was also
presenting its claims with much en-
phasis.
1t was still uncertain whether the
full twelve banks would be author
lied or only eight. In any event
there we're sure to be disappointments
since GO cities we're in the field. Sec
retary OF the Treasury McAdoo was
fairly swamped by the kilograms he

later there were several feet of water
in the grill.

Warned by spokesmen for SAM Fran

idle in the city are fast approaching
a point where they will have food by
force if it is not given to them Volun-
tarily, the supervisors met in special
session Wednesday to plan relief

mated their own number, spoke for
themselves before the supervisors
public welfare commission Tuesday
afternoon. Seventeen of them were
present, chosen at street meeting
earlier in the day to lay conditions
before the city authorities.
They told a raw, unvarnished
story.
1--WE want help quick or we will
have to take it," said Michael Hagan
bluntly. 1--WE won't starve in the
midst of plenty. It's not our fault
we're here. You brought us here
with your lying advertisements
many of us from the east. We want
your help, but if we can't get that
we must help ourselves in the only
way left to u.s."

Skeletons" r. H. Buck told them.

nothing to eat and no place to sleep

anything against the law, but we

ate. They must eat"

Local Option Cases
Te Be Appealed

Portland, Dec. 29.-The Gresham
local option case will be appealed to
the supreme court by the vets. Every
effort made by them in the circuit
court to secure a decree, declaring
the recent election void, has been un-
successful and the appeal is the-last
resort.
Deputy District Attorney Collier,
who is handling the case for the
county, says that it is probable that
the Gresham case will be consolidated
with the cases from Salem, Oregon
City, Harrisburg and Stayton, when
it is argued before the supreme court.
All of the above cities we're voted dry
at the last election and the saloon
element in each place has begun an
appeal AS the grounds on which the
appeal is taken in each case are prac-
tically the same, all cases can be ar
gued and decided at the same sitting.
The Gresham case was started sew
eral weeks ago, but the original COM
plant was knocked out by Circuit
Judge Kavanaugh after listening to
the argument of a demurrer, filed by
Collier. The county commissioners
then took action and declared the
town dry" after January l. Friday
morning Attorney Perkins, represent
ing Herman Matthes and Hans Jacob
son, Gresham saloonkeepers, asked
leave to file an amended answer.
This was allowed by the court with
the understanding that it was merely
to make a record for the appeal. A
demurrer was filed by Collier and
was sustained at once by the judge
and the further proceedings will be
in the supreme court.

Alleged Bandit
Held for Murder

San Francisco, CAL, Dec. 24.-A
formal charge of murder. has been
lodged here against John Bostick, the
Southern Pacific robber suspect. He.
was charged with shooting and kill
ing Travelling Passenger Agent Hor-
ace E. Montague on December !, the
day the Southern Pacific's train was
held up at Ell Monte, near Los An
geles.
The alibi on which Bostick relied
to establish his innocence has been
shattered. He had claimed that he
was at work at the Southern Pacific
round-house here on the day of the
hold-up. H. H. Carman, foreman of
the Southern Pacific shops, was
brought before Bostick.
AIibi Is Failure.
Did you ever see this man be-
fore?" Bostick was asked.
81 never did" was the answer.
Bostick paled when told who Carman
was, but remained silent.
Sheriff Hammel of Los Angeles has
arrived here. He is confident that
Bostick is the bandit, and declared he
probably would take him to Los An
geles at once. Hammel wanted to
leave Wednesday afternoon, but Cap
tain of Detectives Mooney would not
consent to this, as he wished to make
a further investigation here.
Bostick gave his age as % and said
he was from Iowa.
Diamond Ring Found.
A diamond ring recovered from a
pawnshop on a ticket found in the
suspects pocket was positively iden-
titled as the stone taken from Mrs.
Arthur Colen. 1t was Mrs. Colen who
recognized Bostick on the street and
caused his arrest. If the postal au-
thorities are satisfied that Bostick
is the train robber Mrs. Colen may
collect $1,000 in rewards in addition
to the 5000 offered by the Southern
Pacific Company.
DR.. A. B. Clarke of Honolulu, a
passenger on the Southern Pacific's
Overland train held up near Rich
.mond, Cal, November IA last, identi-
fled Bostick as the man who did that
job.
DR.. Clarke was a passenger in the
Pullman car Amazonia when the rob-
ber thrust a gun within foot of the
formers head and demanded his
money. The bandit was unmasked.
