14 THE MOUSING OREGONIAy. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1902. FAVOR CITY BAND Portland Musicians Eager for Public Support. AROUSED BYTACOMA'S EXAMPLE Leader Julius Adler Tell of Success of the Musical Organisation of the City of Destiny Does Portland Want Onet The big hit the Tacoma band made In the Elks' parade last Thursday has given rise to the question why Portland has not a band equally good, or even superior to any other in the Northwest. That Portland has talent superior to that available In Tacoma or Seattle, Is ad mitted by all, but the reason why this talent is not demonstrated In the music discoursed on the streets differ widely. Jealousy and envy on -the part of the musicians, lack of appreciation of good music on the part of the people, refusal of the players to render the best service and unwillingness of the people to pay for a good-sized band.v are some of the rea sons advanced in explanation of the ap parent fact that Portland has no band that can be sent to Tacoma or Seattle to play in competition with the organiza tions in those cities. What are you going to do about It? is the Question that Is up to the people. Portland band leaders do not expressly admit that Adler's Tacoma band dis coursed better music than did the Port land band, but there is a silent admission In what they have to eay regarding the support they get from the citizens of Portland. The people, beyond a doubt, thought the Tacoma band superior and , In view of these facts it is generally taken for granted that such a condition exists. "What difference there is In or ganization, In leadership and In public support Is therefore a matter which should shed light upon the difference In efficiency. Mr. Adler says that Port land has far better material for the mak ing of a band than have the Sound cities, and he sees no reason why this c'ty should not have a band which It would be proud to send anywhere on the Coast That it has not such a band he does -not assert nor assume. "When ap proached upon the subject he declined to say anything regarding Portland bands, but talked freely regarding plans of or ran'zation and work, according to his Ideas. Quite naturally, the Tacoma l'ind represents as nearly as possible his Ideal. Career of Lender Adler. Mr. Adler is a German, come to this country when 1G years old, began h'.s musical career soon afterward by enlisting as a musician in the United .States Army, and later took several yars instruction in Europe. He has nover given his attention to anything but y.uslc, except that he has gained a good i -lucatlon by " general reading of good literature. He is the leader of the "a coma band the leader in every sense of the word. For many years Tacoma had been getting along with half-organized bands, but four years ago four or i five prominent men raised a subscription . of J2000 for the purpose of maintaining a good band, and engaged Adler as leader. lTo was to receive 5100 per month with double pay during the Summer months, this being his compensation for organiz ing and Instructing the band. He also rr reives his share of the profits of any engagements that are made for the band. The salary paid Adler Is all the money nlsed by subscriptions. The subscrib ers receive one or more free passes to all concerts, according to the amount Df the subscriptions. No free public, concerts are given, but many concerts are given at which popular rates of ad mission are charsed, and this, together with the pay for playing at public func tions, constitutes the source of Income of the players. They make about $400 each per year- All have other means of support, most of them being engaged In business or at grades. The band Is composed of 20 men. Adler has the sole voice in choosing players, has the power to remove any of them at will, makes all engagements, , handles all funds, and Is master of the band In every way. He can give Instruction on any Instrument used In the band. Re hearsals are held twice a week through out the year and oftcner when required by work at hand. It is to the financial support the people of Tacoma have given the. band, to the plan of organization, to the loyalty of the players, and to his knowledge of music, that Mr. Adler at tributes whatever success the band has attained. Portland Cnn Have a Band, Too. He believes that. Portland can have a much better band' if It will organize upon the same plans. He has observed that In every town there Is Intense envy among musicians, which leads them to "knock" any man who seems to be mak ing a success. This spirit he deprecates .ns one great obstacle to progress and he would have It supplanted by a fraternal feeling which would cause any musician to rejoice In the success of a fellow player. The plan of organization which Is fol lowed In Portland is vastly different, 'or rather there seems to be no plan at all. In one instance an association of players elect a leader, and they get what business they can. Another band Is gathered by some musician who Is satis factory as a leader, and In this way em ployment is found. In all cases the ibands depend entirely upon what they can make by the engagements they se cure. They rehearse when occasions re quire, play the kind of music that seems to be most popular and have such In struction as, the leader can afford to give them with the compensation he receives. The bands are all small, 16 to 18 men each, varying In size as occasion may de mand. The membership Is continually changing and the Interest lags. There are three band organizations In the city, the Third Regiment Banj;, Brown's Band and De Caprlo's Band. The players are principally men who are regularly engaged in the orchestras of Portland theaters or other places of amusement and are what are generally called pro fessional musicians. Movement for Summer Concerts. Last Spring Julius Meier, pf Meier & Prank, started a movement for the or ganization of a band of 30 pieces, and as an inducement he proposed raising $2000 by popular subscription for the purpose of paying for 20 free concerts, to be given in the public parks of the city. He hoped by this plan to give the band the financial assistance It needed, and at the same time to furnish the public enjoyable music. The. rlan failed completely, for the reason that the business men would not contribute the. necessary funds. .When asked yester- day for his views regarding the organiza tion of a band here, Mr. Meier staid that civic pride should induce the people of Portland to maintain a band the equal or superior of any other in the Northwest; that if one such is to exist, the business men must take the Initiative and provide the necessary financial assistance, and r that the first step after the raising of funds should be the appointment of a bandmaster, who should organize the band. Mr. Meier has the utmost confi dence In the sufficiency of Portland talent, and thinks it is up to the citizens to act. Charles L. Brown's Vlevrs. Charles Li. Brown, leader of Brown'js Band, .says that the only reason there is not a band in Portland such as there Is In lac&ma is that-the people will not sup- vort It Mr. Brown Is known as a man of great energy, but his attempt a year ago to get assurances of support for a good band met with failure. He thinks that the onjy way to secure such a band Is for the people of Portland to subscribe a fund of $5000, of which $1000 flhould bo expended for music end equipment, and the other $4000 for talarles of leader and players. Ho would pay each player $100 per year for attending rehearsals, thus Insuring hla constant attendance, and the maintenance of the band at all times. His Idea 1b that the musicians should organize and select a leader, and they have the power to rvmove the leader "at will. "How would the muelclans who are to compose the band be selected?" he was asked. "They would themselves agree who should be in the band." "Would you have all the GO or 70 mu sicians In Portland participate in the se lection of the band?" , "No; only those who are recognized as ihe leading musicians; perhaps 35 or 40 In number." "How are you going to determine who those 35 or 40 are?" "Well," he said, waving his hand around the circle of players assembled in the grandstand at the Carnival, "I have the cream of the Portland musicians right here." Mr. Brown's idea of raising the money Is not to get large Bums from a few, but to get small sums from many, so that the burden to each Is light. Views of A. DeCaprlo. A. DeCaprlo, manager of DeCaprlo's Band, says that experience has shown that Portland people will not patronize a band concert if an admission fee Is charged sufficient to make the concert a financial success, nor have they given the bands such assistance as will warrant them in practicing regularly. He . ap proves the plan of a popular subscription of $3000, to be paid $100 to each of 20 play ers per year, and an additional $1200 to be paid as a salary to a leader and In structor. In consideration of this he would have the band give four free con certs a year, and get the remainder of its support from other concerts or engage ments. He thinks the loader should be appointed by a committee of citizens, and should be a thorough musician. Everest Tells 6t iocnl Conditions. John H. Everest, leader of the Third Regiment Band, says that the reception of the Tacoma Elks last Tuesday shows why Portland has not a large and efficient band. The Carnival people would pay for only 12 musicians, and it was for that reason that a small band escorted a band of 27 through the streets of Portland. Only IS men were employed for the band on the Fourth of July. When the Elks' parade took place, two bands were con solidated in order to make one band of fair size. The men had not been accus tomed to playing together. While play ing in small bands they rere compelled to play hard In order to give the music strength, and when the bands were united they played In the same manner, produc ing the "noise" which the Tacoma boys criticised. -Mr. pverest thinks there is little use for a band of 30 pieces when the managers of public entertainments and cclebiatlons will employ only 16 or 18 pieces. If the people of Portland will pay a leader $1200 per year, and give the band such support that 30 men can make $400 each per year, as is the case In Tacoma, Portland will have the best band in the Northwest, and any one of three band leaders now here can organize and man age it. Frank Griffith, the leader of the Mar- quam orchestra, who has no Interest what ever n any band, said. In answer to ques tions, that there is no doubt of the ex cellent talent Portland has for the making of a good band. He believes that If such a band Is to be had, and It should be, the business men must organize a subscription committee, raise the necessary funds and employ as a leader a good musician, who shall have absolute control in the organi zation and management of a band. PORTLAND DAY AT SALEM Southern Pacific Will Try to Get Me tropolis Interested. In order to encourage closer relations between Portland and the State Fair. General Passenger Agent Coman, of the Southern Pacific, has arranged for a spe cial excursion rate on Portland day, Sep tember 18. when extra trains will be run and every effort put forth to make a creditable showing for the metropolis. To this end the rate has been made $1 o0 for the round trip, Including admission to the fair at Salem. The special trains will leave Portland about S A. M. and run through to the fair in about an hour and a quarter, and will leave Salem In the evening about 6 o'clock. It is already assured that this year's fair will far exceed any former exhibit at Salem in the excellence of the display and Its representative character. This will alone make it a much greater attrac tion than it has heretofore been. Then general prosperity and neighborhood com ity are Increasing In Oregon, and this Is deemed a good time to get Portland peo ple to take an Interest In the fair as a representative state Institution and as a good place to go for entertainment and Instruction as to the productions of Ore gon. The railroad company will provide ample facilities and make the rate so low that everybody can go. It is interested In promoting a greater interest between the different sections and different indus tries of the state. SHAREHOLDERS FRIGHTENED. Doubt Thrown on Solvency of Eng lish Iinllwnyii. NEW YORK, Sept 5. Shareholders In the English railways have been fright ened by an article by an American, Just published in the Times, throwing doubt on the solvency of the railway systems of this country, says a Tribune dispatch from London. A large number of sell ing orders were received on the stock exchange. The British railway share holder has( to face an ugly prospect, and he Is by no means free from responsi bility for the situation In which he be came involved. The charge of over capitallzatldn which has been so fre quently brought against the British rail way committees certainly is not exagger ated, but has a considerable foundation of truth. The shareholder is always on the side of a liberal division of profits when Im provements are required, not to obtain an increase of trade, but merelv to main tain the existing position. Thus -fresh capital Is constantly being sunk In an outlay which ought to be mat cut of the revenue of shareholders. Influence, too, is generally thrown into the scale against proposals for bringing the rolling stock and general equipment up to date, and a demand is now made for some means of cutting down expenses and Increasing tho profits. A committee of the London & North western shareholders, representing 4,000, 000 of stock, have been holding confer ences with the board In order to devise n feasible plan. The line which It Is pro posed to adopt is an agreement between the various trunk systems in order to lessen the competition. It Is probable, however, that the chief result of the agreement will be Increased rates, already too high, thus Injuring the general trade of the country. Rntcs to Llvestoclc Show. CHICAGO. Sept. 5.

Liveliest Session In the History of the Congress. BUTTE, Mont.. Sept j. The fifth an nual session of the International Mining Congress Is a thing of the past and when It reconvenes In the Joint city of Dead wood and Lead, B. D., It will be the American Mining Congress. The meeting today was probably the liveliest one in the history of the congress and Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell, of Butte, took a prominent part In the proceedings. The fight occurred on the adoption of the report of the committee on perma nent organization and this was fiercely opposed by Mrs. Haskell and six other delegates from Montana, who tried to make the congress believe that the change In the name and representation would remit In the disruption of the or ganization. During the excitement. Sec retary Irwin Mahon Jumped to the middle of the stage and made the sensational announcement: "This Is the first tjme In the history of the congress where the president has been openly prompted by one Interested In the passage of a meas ure under discussion.'" The president was trying to break the table with his gavel: the delegates were howling and Mrs. Haskell wns still In sisting upon a decision upon her point of order. Secretary Mahon's remarks re ferred to Frank E. Plummer, of Minne sota, who was sitting by the president and prodding him in the ribs. Mr. Plummer moved Into the wings after Sec retary Mahon had finished. Mrs. Haskell kept the congress In a turmoil for an hour or two and brought to her assistance every parliamentary point that she could think of. Points of order, amendments, substitutes and motions to lay on the table followed one another In quick succession and while all this was going on, many delegates tried to talk at the samo time while others contlnuallj- cried for the "ques tion." For a time It was pandemonium let loose and the president was power less to restore order. It was seen from the outset that the sentiment was In favor of the change In the organization, but Mrs. Haskell took care of her pirt so well that the strength of the oppo sition was not known until the vote was taken. When It was found that seven persons had been tying up the conven tion, the astonishment was profound. The election of officers was Yiot con tested to any great extent with tho .ex ception of the position of secretary, The committee on permanent organization, which under the rules of the.congress Is the nominating committee, placed the name of L. K. Armstrong in nomination and much . opposition was shown. A flcrht was averted by the withdrawal of Mr. Armstrong's name. The other elec tions passed off quietly. The selection of Deadwood and Lead City. South Dakota, as the pjace for hold ing the next meeting of the congress was effected very quietly and there was llftle or no opposition.. The time for holding the session was fixed for the month of September, next year, but a definite date wil be fixed by the executive com mittee. There were several lively tilts in the matter of resolutions. One resolution was turned down as being Socialistic in its utterances, and another, which the committee recommended should not pass, did pass by a large majority. Taken as a whole, the day was an interesting one. Locomotive Firemen' Convention. CHATTANOOGA, TenrL. Sept 5. It Is estimated that over 700 delegates will at tend tho biennial convention of the. Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen, which will begin here next Monday. The fore noon of Monday will bo devoted to the entertainment of President Roosevelt. LETTER-CARRIERS'' CONVENTION'.

Chargcu Mndc That Port of Portland Commission Has Injured the City b Its Action. "Great Injury has been done to the City of Portland by the selection of a site In Vancouver for the construction of the port of Portland' drydock," say the nifmbcto of the Federated Trades Council, and they will put forth every efTort to Induce the contractor to do the work in this city. They hold that there are Just as good sites here-as the one selected at Vanccniver, and that the iarge amount of money that will be expended In the construction pf the drydock should not be allowed, to go to another stave. At the meeting of the council a week ago action was taken in re- ' gard to this matter, and a committee was i appointed to see wjiat could be done. At j the regular meeting held last night, the I report of the committee was read and ap j proved. Reasons are set forth why the i laboring people of the city should demand ; that the work be done in Portland. The I report was as follows: "To the Federated Trades Council: We, your committee appointed to Investigate ' and report the reasons why the Port of ' Portland Commission permitted Contractor . Wakefield to select a site at Vancouver, J Wash., for the construction of a drydock for Portland, have to report as follows: Tho reason assigned by the commission was that there was no suitable site of ' fered, but they say they had the chance and were requested by "Mr. Wakefield to suggest a site in Portland. Mr. Wakefield ! says that there was no suitable site of- fered him in Portland, so that he has per fected a lease of a location about a half J mile down -the Tlver from Vancouver, and j that the drydock will be constructed there. "The Port of Portland Commission made I no effort to secure a location. Neither did ! It ask any of our business or other asso- ciatlons to procure one. If it had called r. the attention of the Board of Trade or j Civic Improvement Association or Cham- Iber of Commerce, or even the Federated Trades Council, to the fact that $162,000 Iof the taxpayers' money was In danger of being expended In another state, and that . the labor cost, which, at the lowest estl I mate, will, amount to $70,000, would be used I to give employment to other than home j labor, who will spend their money with I the merchants of another state, strong j and earnest efforts would have been made and as favorable a location would have been offered, and If necessary the lease I cost would have been paid by public sub- j scrlptlon, rather than that this money l?e expended away from Portland. "Seventy thousand dollars placed In cir culation among the working people of our I, city during the dull Winter months, when employment Is scarce, would have been of untold benefit to our whole community. This money was raised by taxation of the I people of Oregon. Is It right that the , money should be spent outside of the state, where others than those who fur I nlsh the funds would reap the benefit? "There is another way in .which the i action of the Port of Portland Commission I has done an Irreparable Injury . to the I standing of Portland a3 a port. We would call your attention to the fact that Port- .' tlon cannot be had for the construction of the pontoons for a drydock for our own use, publishes broadcast to the world that . our claim as a shipbuilding port lo not tamiy De accepted as autnoriiy upon suca matters by everyone. To the end that the public may be fully informed' of the great injury done to our community and the reputation of our city as a port, we, your committee, recommend that this statement of facts be Indorsed by the Federated Trades Council, and that the press be re quested to give the same publicity.
