Mayor I-ane 9 words were fuel added to the flames, and oaued bitter utter ances from several of the members who are politically opposed to the executive and his advisers. Mr. Bennett criticised the Mayor and the way and means com mittee, which is composed largely of those who support the Mayor. Mr Ben nett said the Mayor and the committee should have informed the Council tha it could compel the telephone companies to furnish necessary cables, and thereby all trouble woud have been avoided. Councilman Cellars asked where the members were supposed to secure their information as to the terms of fran chises, and Mayor Lane replied: "Read up." Mr. Cellars then read from the City Charter a provision which makes it the duty of the Mayor to cause an mve?ti ration into all franchises and to report to the Council m his annual messages. He remarked that ha had never found any thin s; In the messages about the terms of telephone franchises now tin der discussion. He. blamed the Mayor and the political cohort of t he execu -tive for the needless expenditure of re cent months. Councilman Vaujrhn.

Opium smusTRlin must be a profitable business. Yeeterday J. Williams, who was caught by the Custom House In spectors, accompanied by a United States Deputy Marshal, yisited a safety de psit vauit and smiled as he counted out f!50O In gold pieces, the amount ot the bail fixud by the Federal officials. The officer, who had the smuggler in charge almost had hearf failure when W illiams opened up his strons box and the J'.itO did not even give the box the appearance of havine been raided. Williams was caught red-handed with a box containing 245 five-tael cans of opium. When arrested. Williams, who declares that he served as a soldier at San Juan and In the Philippines, said that he had been paid by other persons- to ship the box from Kelso. Washington, to Port land. United States Attorney McCotirt and the arresting officers tried to get Williams to disclose the identity of his confidents, but he refused to "crack." He was taken before United States Com missioner Sladen. and after entering a plea of guiy. asked to have bail fixed. The amount called for was J150O, and without a wink. Williams asked that he be allowed to visit his safety deposit box. Xow the offirtals are wondering if, after all. that Williams is not the leader of the gang of smugglers instead of only the stool pigeon, as he declares. Tomorrow.

B-erytlilng la now tn nrst-cltes shApe for thl, the biggest orchestral-chorus mu slral event Cregon has known up to now. Ihorusea numbering about 100 or 1JS volrea have appeared with sticcess In this city In the past, but when the Music Festival was planned with the aid of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, tinder the direction of Herr Adolph Rosonbecker. It was decided that a vocal chorus worthy of Portland be organised. And the re sponse was very gratifying. Portland's professional singers, along with church choir and music society singers and vocal students. have worked nearly three months, patiently rehearslnar. And now they are about to appear, sno atrong. for tha great test In public. ljut night the building of the big chorus platform at the-Armory was com pleted, and the singers sat in the seats they will occupy at the concerts. The choruses were sung with that dash and promptitude, now that fairy touch and then that powerful volume of color, that mark the nnlshed tone of a finely trained chorus. The ensemble -work Is of profes sional quality and the voices are much better than those heard In visiting theat rical choruses. Trained singers, with that confidence in tone production that comes from noma study and environment, make up a real musical treat. The last rehearsal before tha concerts will be held. In private, at the ArmoVy. tomorrow afternoon at s o'clock, when the chorns will meet for the first time the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Hrrr Rosenbecker, conductor. To enable this rehearsal to be held the management of the Music Festival has hired a special train to bring the orchestra from Seattle, where It gives a (concert tonight. The vo cal soloists with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are: Genevieve Clark Wilson, soprano: Rose Lutiser Gannon, contralto; John Miller, tenor, and Arthur Middle ton, bass. Frans Wagner Is solo 'cellist and assistant conductor: Edith Maxom Gray, solo pianiste, and Jan Van Oordt, concert meister and violinist. Tomorrow night Fruch's "Fair Ellen.'' a Scotch cantata, will be sung, and an or chestra programme will also be given. Saturday afternoon a children's concert has been arranged, and Saturday night Goring Thomas' "Swan and Skylark" will be aung. followed. by an orchestral con cert. Sunday afternoon Handel's "Mes slah"' will be sung, to be folowed in the evening by a grand concert participated m by the orchestra and visiting soloists. The demand for seats Is large and seats are now on sale. MAYOR RAPS THE COUNCIL Speaks Before Men's Clnb of the White- Temple.
