HEWS OF THE THEATERS

Vaudeville at the Phillip. There Is much in the bill at the new Phillips this week to attract the lovers of , vaudeville and no one will regret at least one visit to the house before the week is over. The pro gram offered. In the opinion of. many, is fully as meritorious as that of last Meek, and that is saying a great leal for It. Special interest centers in the work of the IJurkes, who have a clever comedy skit, introducing piano playing by Mr. Burke and singing by Mrs. Burke. The former is a master of the piano and his trick playing Is a strong feature. The Burkes have made good and will always be welcome. Then there is Lillian Murtha, i.he little German girl, with a new line of stuff; the Malverns, tumblers, who are as lively and clever as one would care to see, and Master Lavender Richardson and his company, presenting "Brady's Boy," a domestic comedy. Master Richardson, who is perhaps 10 years of age, ranks high as a juvenile actor. In addition there are the usual features of piano overture, with Miss Grace Miller officiat- j ing; Cal Lankert in an , illustrated song, "If My Dream Comes True," and the Philoscope showing two motion picture films of a comic nature. There will be a souvenir matinee today. Repertoire at the Gennett. That the Xorth Brothers company has taken a strong hold on the fancy of the Gennet patrons i3 fully evinced by the liberal patronage that is being accorded. Last night a very large audience saw the presentation of "An American Lady" and enjoyed it thoroughly. There was a strong element of comedy prevading the play that kept the audience in laughter most of the time. The bill for this afternoon is "The Parish Priest" and for tonight "Price of Honor," both said to be of a highly interesting nature. There is special interest in the matinees, which are being put on at 10 cents. Two features that add to the performances are the half hour concert preceding each performance, by the lady orchestra, and the specialties that relieve the waits between acts and which are put on by the Deagons, Little Patti, Seldon and Master Bobby St. Clair and others. The Norths will be at the Gennett all week In standard productions, combined with specialty and concert features. , "My Wife's Family" Gennett. It Is seldom that play meets with the universal endorsement of managers, theatre-goers and the press in general on its initial production, but an exception last season was that-of "My Wife's Family," the combiatd efforts of two progresive and wellknown playera Hal Stephens and Harry Linton. This merry laughproducer was an instantaneous hit, playing return dates in many cities by special request. It is in three acts filled with catchy musical numbers of original theme, while the comedy lines are all bright and new, containing none of the hackneyed kind. The company presenting the comedy, interpreting the three acts of fun and music, Is one, of the best cn tour, while the costuming and stage getting and electrical and mechanical effects are correct in detail. There are two dozen musical numbers, all of the whistling order, to be heard in "My Wife's Family," which will be presented here at the Gennett next Monday night. Warren Wins Again.

PORTLAND MURDER IS VERY PUZZLING

Prominent Physician Murdered, Apparently for the Purpose of Robbery. POLICE ARE SKEPTICAL INCLINED TO THINK THAT THERE IS MORE BEHIND THE CRIME THAN MERE ROBBERY HINIT AT SINISTER MOTIVES. Publishers Press. Portland, Ore., Jan. 8. The murder here of Dr. Philip Edward Johnson, a physician recently arrived from New York, is one of the most mysterious tragedies that ever occurred in the Northwest. Johnson came to Portland with his newly-wedded wife two months ago, to establish his home here and practice his profession. The couple bought a home in a fashionable section. Mrs. Johnson before her marriage last fall was a Mrs. Scarborough. She is a daughter of former Governor Hoadley of Ohio. Johnson's father is Episcopal archdeacon of Staten Island, N. Y. Johnson announced his intention of visiting a Dr. Panton, one of the examining board by which he was to have been examined for admission to practice in this state. He went against the protestations of his wife, who feared highwaymen. On his way Johnson called on his cousin, W. C. Alvord, assistant cashier in a local bank. What happened at Alvord's house has not been learned, Alvord refusing to make any statement for publication, and if he has told the police anything that transpired the department is keeping it a secret. Alvord's parents told the police that after leaving their home Johnson walked toward the Ford street bridge, two blocks distant, to go to Dr. Panton's home. A short time afterward a car conductor found Johnson's body lying on Jefferson street, 117 feet below the bridge. Johnson's pockets were turned inside out and his watch removed. Johnson's empty pocketbook and keys were found on the bridge. There was no evidence of a struggle. Cards on. Johnson's body were the means of identification. When first approached by newspaper men for a statement Alvord was apparently eager , to talk, but excused himself a moment and went to Mrs. Johnson's room. Returning, he informed them Mrs. Johnson was prostrated, and all further efforts to get him to make a statement were unavailing. The police met with no better success. Alvord visited police headquarters and endeavored to secure possession of some articles found on Johnson's body but was not successful. A visit to the coroner had Detter results, that official turning over to Alvord several articles. Captain Bruin, of the police department, inclines to the murder theory, but according to his statements to newspaper men he does not believe Johnson was robbed. He insinuates his belief of murder with some motive more sinister than robbery. Senatorial Candidates. Publishers' Press Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 8. At a Joint caucus of the Republican members of the legislature, Congressman Hale of the Second district was nominated for United States senator. It is, however, an empty honor. Former Governor Taylor is the Democratic nominee to succeed Senator Carmack. Poor Place For Poaching. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 8. Japanese poachers have found short shrift on the Kamchatkan peninsula, according to advices received by the steamer Empress of Japan. The Jiji Shimpo says investigation shows 40 Japanese vessels have disappeared since 1904 and that '400 men are missing. Exodus From Germany. Berlin, Jan. S.

THE STEAMER NOW SAFE HAD A THRILLING VOYAGE "City of Panama" Lost Everything Movable by the Storm Which It Encountered Off California Coast Three Men Washed Overboard. .Publishers' Pressl City ot Mexico, Jan. 8. Louis Kaiser, United States consul at Mazatlan, Mexico, telegraphs of the Pacific Mail line steamer, City of Panama, which for days was thought to have been lost off the California coast. The story related to Kaiser by Captain Nelson, of the City of Panama, shows that fears for safety of tse vessel were well grounded. It recounts a thrilling trip, replete with danger, narrow escapes and heroic actio:, on the part of the officers and crew of the boat. One life was lost, Manual Acuna, a Chilean, who was a member of the crew. In the gale ff the California coast everything movable on the decks was washed overboard. Three men washed into the sea were rescued by a lifeboat crew. The vessel was able to proceed, to Panama without repairs. THe IDEAL WAY. How fine and dandy it would Toe, How very, very nice, If wc could travel on our shape. Nor think about the price; If we could take a railroad train Whene'er we would go hence To any portion of the land Regardless of expense. If we could order up a cab Or buy a touring car And feel, when we received the bill. No symptom of a jar; If we could own a private yacht And sail the public sea And say to those who shook their heads, "Expense can't bother me." If we could pick a suit of clothes, The finest In the store, And say offhanded to the clerk, "Send up a dozen more;" If we could purchase right and left . Whatever we might see The same as though we owned Um mint. How lovely It would be! Alas, the thing that hampers us When we would cut a dash Is not our modvety oh, no; It s lack of tainted cash! How fine and dandy it would b How very, very nice. If we could flit about and say, ".Expenses cut no ice!" A IVtcIc Com In nr.
