PORTOLA FETE
SIDETRACKED
SEVEN YEARS
Don Gaspar Will Not* Revisit;
San Francisco Until After
Panama Exposition
Every Effort Will Be Concen
trated to Make International
Fair World Wide Success
In order that every energy of the
\u25a0ity may be concentrated in the effort
o make the Panama-racific exposition
:he greatest international affair of the
sort ever held, there will Ue'no Portola
'estival this year.
That was the decision reached at the
la..st meeting of the Portola committee.
Furthermore, it was determined not to
K.ld another Portola festival until the
year after the Panama exposition. Al
ready the office furniture, appurte
nances and records of the Portola com
mittee have been offered to the exposi
tion committee for its use.
(\niVIDED EFFORT \KEDED
The Portola committee took the step
toward doing- away temporarily with
an annual festival ohly after long and
careful consideration. All the members
<>f the Portola executive body are mem
bers of the ways and means committee
of the Panama-Pacific international ex
position, and it was decided that the
united effort of both the committee and
nil citizens of San Frnacisco should
tt ( > directed undividedly toward making
the exposition a great success. By the
elimination of the festival the. energy
i-f every active worker will be aimed
to the same end. the funds that would
be necessary annually for festival
purposes can be saved for the world's
exposition, and there will be nothing
intervening to detract from Its even
tual success. •>'. > •:
Anew miiestone ir: exposition history
will be passed today, when the ways
and means committee of the Panama-
Pacific international exposition gathers
•for its second meeting, to receive the
report of its special nominating com
mittee and to devise plans for imme
diate work in many directions. The
meeting will be held at 3:30 o'clock on
the floor of the Merchants' exchange,
and it is expected that practically every
member of the committee of more than
-"•• wilt be present. ."JßflH
COMMITTEE OK THIRTY
The most important business to come
before the ways and means committee
today will be the selection of a direct
ing committee of 30. Nominations for
membership on this committee have
been prepared by the special commit
tee consisting of F. W. Dohrmann, Leon
>'loss and J. W. Dutton, who were ap
pointed for this particular purpose at
the initial meeting.
VVith the formation of this directing
<orrimiltee, the actual exposition work
will tenter in the hands of two bodies
and all the preliminary committees
which have carried out the original
work and plans will pass from exist
ence. The ways and means committee
-will continue as the general 'directing
body, while the. directing committee
will devote itself at once to questions
of policy and organization.
Th* directing committee probably
will b>i authorized today to select from
Us own. membership an executive com
mittee of five or seven members, in
which executive power will be central
ized and which later will choose the
president or director general of the
fair. At the eam<? time the directing
comrjitter may be given the power to
increase the membership of the ways
and means committee by additions of
names from time to time, and will be
instructed to subdivide the ways and
means committee into special commit
tees.
WORK FOR SLIICOMMITTEHS
The subdivisions into which the ways
and means committee will be resolved
by afctibn of the directing committee
will include commiUe.es to deal imme
diately with matters of the most press
ing importance. These committees will
be authorized to act on exploitation,
federal participation, California state
participation, county participation, ouj-.
side elate participation, foreign partic
ipation.-organization, bylaws and other
subjects. It is probable that the out
lining of the financial campaign will
b<? left lo the directing committee.
The notice of the closing up of Por
tola festival affairs and the offer of
furniture and supplies to the exposi
tion committee was contained in the
following letter 'received at the expo
sition headquarters:
Gentlemen: 1 am instructed by
111* executive committee .of the'
Portola festival to tender to you
'the use of its -ofli<-p furniture, and
appurtenances. It was the sense
• <>f the meeting at which this reso
lution- was adopted that the Por
tola festival will not be repeated
• this year, but the <-on!tnittee. would
be glad to reserve tho right to rf- :\u25a0
<;ill this furiiituTe in the event of
another festival being held. An \u25a0 -
.•arly, r<?pjy will bo greatly appre
ciated, as it is the wish of the
\u25a0 ••ommitte" t<~> close its. affairs at
oikp. I li.ive tli.- honor to remain

In addition of the large* amount of
d'-sks. filing i-ases 'and office furniture
of various kisids included in this-leg
acy, the exposition committee probably
will receive many records- of value,
*u<:h as mailing lists and literature that
rr.ay be of grout aid in the preliminary
w.>rk.

Columbia Theater Leading Man
Pays $100 for Seat at Opening
SCORES SUCCESS
IN WESTERN ROLE
Margaret Dale, Leading Woman
With W.H. Crane, r Well
. Known to Playgoers
WALTER ANTHONY
Margaret Dale, leading woman with
William 11. Crane in "Father and the
Boys." the openipg attraction at the
new Columbia theater, will need no
introduction to the theater goers of
this city, as she has visited San Fran
cisco on many occasions and is well
remembered for her work with Henry
Miller in "Heartsease" at the old Co
lumbia theater. Her last visit to the
coast was in the all star cast of "She
Stoops to Conquer," which was not
played in San Francisco, but was given
in Oakland for the reason that the
ashes weiye still hot on this side of
the bay when the company was booked
for the Powell street playhouse, which
the flames had eaten up on or about
April It;, 1906.
Miss Dale was leading woman with
John Drew fbr"*£our years and be
came ko allied with sartorial roles
while with the immaculate John- that
when she was given the part of Bessie
Brayton from Nevada in George Ade's
comedy, "Father and the Boys," It was
doubted whether she would be able to
get into the breezy folds of the west
ern girl's garb. If critics may be re
lied upon — which I do not say they can
be — Miss Dale has scored the hit of
her career in this role of the western
girl.
Philadelphia was the scene of Miss
Dale's first appearance and she made
her professional debut as a member
of the once famous Girard avenue
stock company. Later she played in
genue roles in the Empire theater in
New ..York and then she graduated to
leading woman roles.
After a successful season with Mme.
Nazimova In "The Passion Flower.*'
wherein it Is said he shared honors
nearly even with the star from the Neva,
Ernest- Glendinning; formerly' juvenile
at the Alcazar and the best that splen
did company ever had in'the line, has
been engaged by David Belasco 'for an
important role, in the latter's forth
coming production of Eugene Walter's

FALSE STATEMENT SIGNED
\u25a0 '.'\u25a0 t She "quarreled at him" many times,
Lampe ajleges,' -and', frequently ' made,
false .charges -that he was . ihtimate
with.otfier women. .When he'refused to
sign a written acknowledgment of his
unfaithfulness; she. "became violently
angry . and upbraided arid "scratched
him. : ; -;•::-\u25a0 . ; vv .! ,
-The shooting, which occurred August
29,",1909 r : was malicious and "absolutely
without cause, Lampe states. : He' has
nortrecollection of what; happened for
many days .thereafter, but when tye
regained consciousness and was - in
formed that he -was likely to die, "by
reason of. the intense love he bore his'
wife 'he'signed a-statement that the
shooting i was- an f accident." -•
The statement .was false, Lampe now
admits/ and- he made' it solely because
hef. did .not wantVhis wife to suffer,
death of. be .imprisoned. *as, punishment
for murder; in. case he should die.
VIOLENCE AFTER REUNION
They, resumed. marital relations Sep
tember- 19, and Lampe says he "tried
to, ; fprgive, his wife for shooting him."
But she. continued to charge him falsely
with unfaithfulness. Mrs.. Lampe is a
'woman. of herculean strength, tihe hus
band states. While, he ; was -lying In
bed trying to' sleep, December 21. 1909,
she came to the bedside with a siphon
bottle in' one hand and in the -other
a blankbook and pen and. ink. anfl in
a menacing manner, said:* "You write
what I, tell you or I will brain you."
Being unable to protect # himself,
at^her dictation he wrote to the effect
that if she began suit for divorce he
wouldnot contest it and made other
statements that were false, Lampe
says. ' " ' ' ' '
• Mrs. .Lampe is accused of having
threatened to kill her husband • and
commit- suicide 'several times.- She
scratched and beat him so severely,
December 21. he says he was compelled
togo to v the hospital.
