i MAYFLOWER TIMBERS COMMEMORATE PEACE IN PACIFIC MONUMENT

(By Associated Press) SEATTLE, Wash., ApriMl. The timber from the Mayflower has been brought to Seattle to be encased In a great Peace- Portal being erected across the Pacific Highway, at Blaine, Wash., on the international boundary between Canada and the United States in commemoration of more than 100 years of peace between the two countries. The portal will be dedicated this summer. ' The bit of the Pilgrim ehip, a small piece of oak, was carried to Seattle in an ancient English chest of handbeaten iron, believed to be a pirate's gold chest of olden days. The chest was ' taken from a Scotland Yard dungeon and given for the trip by Sir Alfred Thompson, chief of the yard. Impressive ceremonies were held at Buckinghamshire, near London, when the bit from the boat was cut from the old hull, which lies upturned on the banks of the Thames. Samuel Hill, Seattle, president of the Pacific High

way Association, and the leader in the portal construction movement, and Frank Terrace, a Seattle good roads advocate, negotiated for the wood and were present when it was taken-from the ship. Hull Lies Undisturbed. After the timber was sawed from the hull, the English Quakers, who guard the remains, said that never again would it be disturbed. Following the outting of the hull, the piece was taken by Hill and Terrace to Belgium where it was exhibited before Marshal Joffre, King Albert of Belgium and Cardinal Mercier, Terrace said. "Marshal Joffre told me he would be in Seattle this summer to attend the dedication of the Peace Portal," Terrace declared. Probably the most impressive meeting was when the two Seattle men carried the timber into an ancient room In a Ghent monastery, Terrace said? In the same room, according to records, more than 100 years before, there was signed the treaty of Ghent, according to which there were to be no guns or forts along the 3,000 mile boundary between Canada and the United States. And in commemoration of the observance of this treaty the portal is being built. Terrace said that so far as can be ascertained the chest in which the timber was brought from England, is 350 years old and was taken from a pirate's ship off the coast of Africa by a British man-of-war.

ion of learned counsel and unbelieving governor, Vera Gordon"rises to superb heights. Not for a moment does she hesitate in her determined efforts to deliver her son. MURRAY One thing that pleases most about Louise Lovely, who is appearing this weak at the Murray Theatre in "While the Devil Laughs," is the charming little star's ability to act natural under the most trying circumstances. Although she is an emotional actress of exceptional power, she is not given to cyclonic outbursts. Yet it cannot be denied that she "gets over" her big moments with a force that brings out all there is in them. In her latest Fox picture, which is seen at the Murray theatre for the first time Monday, Miss Lovely gives a demonstration of suppressed emotion that would do credit to one of more mature years and far wider experience. In fact, she gave such a portrayal of a rather difficult role that of a girl thief that, although she was a criminal, she had the sympathy of the audience from the start.

The Theatres j

1 WASHINGTON An interesting feature concerning Fritz Leiber, the great Shakespearean, who will appear at the Washington theater, April 13 and 14, and the way he chooses his cast, is described in an interview with the star recently. When asked by a newspaper critic how he contrived to assemble such a

uniformly capable cast of Shakespo-

reans, Mr. Leiber outlined three qualifications for the beginner that take precedence over all other.

The player first must furnish a foundation in the .knowledge of Shakespeare This, is determined by his or her progress in this study in school. The grades made by the applicant for a Shakespearean role arcaudited and carry much weight in the player's fitness for the rendition of Shakespeare. Ability to read blank verse intelligently and personality for a part aro the other requisites. Given a good voice, a knowledge of Shakespears and the ability to move artistically, Mr. Leiber asserts any young man or woman has the chance to become a successful interpreer of Shakespearean characters. In almost every city and town, furthermore, Mr. Leiber says, there is Shakespeare talent. Many of the competent players of today are recruited from towns of the size. MURRETTE Vera Gordon, who created such a sensational success in "Humoresque", was seen last Dight in the new Select Picture, "The Greatest Love," at the Murrette theatre, where it will remain until Thursday. This is a dramatic story of mother love, sacrifice and family honor. Intense interest is sustained throughout

by means of complications surround- j

ing the death of a theatrical producer known to have been one of the most hated men in the city. There were dozens who might have had a motive for slaying him, but Lantini was found bending over the dead man, and as he also had a motive for revenge, lie was arrested and sentenced to death. It is not until the final reel that the startling denouncement is made. As the mother fighting undauntedly

against heart-rending odds, pitting her mother love and trust, against the opin-

Late apples and other fruits in Jackson county which escaped the bitter Easter frost probably were not damaged by the cold early Sunday, according to local orchardists. A light rain fell at midnight and is believed to have saved some fruit buds. A temperature slightly above freezing prevailed here throughout the day.

RICHMOND LEADER IN CARE OF TOURISTS Automobile tourists- traveling about the country with tents and camping outfits packed in their cars have created a demand for accommodations which state and municipal authorities are endeavoring to meet. Adequate stop-overs are needed for the caravan of automobile travelers who. wish to camp out as they cross the country and the problem of providing these resting places is receiving special attention by state conservation department officials and in many cities park boards have plans for such places under consideration. Camp sites, department of conservation officials say, will soon be established at the state parks. Camping places will be necessary at the parks, they predict, on account of the large number of persons who will make the trips to these recreational centers by automobile. This will be especially true, officials say, when the state's system of hard roads connecting . the parks with industrial centers is completed One of the first cities to take steps toward providing a camping spot for the automobile tourists is Richmond. Richard Lieber, director of the state department of conservation, is interested in the plans for establishment at

these camp sites, especially in connection with state parks. "I am thinking now of our state parks as places of rest and service quarters," says Mr. Lieber,. "for our interstate automobile travelers and I can visualize many other places along the highways that connect our centers of population with the centers of recreation that would be glad and willing to make provisions for the wayfarer."

BURROUGHS ASSOCIATION - PROPOSED BY FRIENDS NEW YORK, April 11. Plans are under way for the formation of a John Burroughs - Memorial Association to take charge of "Slabsides," "Riverby" and "Woodchuck Lodge" the three places most frequented by the late poet-naturalist, it was announced. Julian Burroughs, son of the great nature lover, and Dr. Clara Barrus, executrix of the Burroughs estate, have indorsed the plan.
