SMILE, HIS ANSWER Sol Blumauer Chuckles Over Experience With Loeb. BAGGAGE IS HERE INTACT Returning Merchant Says His Tilt With New York Custom-Houses Misunderstanding Laughing ly Denies Being Smuggler. Neither Ones nor customs officers worried Sol Blumauer much last night as he stepped oft the Chicago-Portland CHARLES FROHMAN'S LATEST STAR St ; - ' . V ' :: h : - . ' : 1; t K--. . -- it I MAWE DOHO W THE MORALS OP MARCUS," AT THE BUXGA1.0W. denlably cheerful, too, but there was only the smile as a reply. In reality the whole incident had been exaggerated. "Grossly exaggerated and disgraceful," was how Mrs. Blumauer termed it. Mr. Blumauer hardly had the opportunity to call it anything, for he was surrounded by his friends who shook his hands and embraced him in a man ner that certainly did not lack emphasis. However, Mr. Blumauer did say he had only paid $400 for duty on the goods he and his wife imported. The only thing the merchant objects to. he said, was that the whole affair was so unnecessary. Had he only thought to look up the pro visions governing the entrance of for eign purchased goods there would have oeen no trouble at all, he declared. Then there was the wireless messages to Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Ldtt. who left Cherbourg some days after Mr. and Mrs. Blumauer. It was the dispatching of these messages that put New York pa pers on the qui vlve. They published, ac cording to all accounts, Mr. Blumauer wired to Mr. Lltt on the St. Paul to make quite sure he made no "little mis take" In declaring his goods, for the customs officers were making no mis takes in examining them and in seeing if they agreed with declarations. Then Mr. Blumauer got anxious, it is said. He stood on the pier until late at night to watch the arrival of tbe ship and make sure his Instructions bad been fulfilled to save him further payment for misunderstandings. When Mr. Blumauer was asked about that he smiled again. "It's quite true I didn't want them to have afly misunderstandings, either, he admitted, "so it Is quite true to say I wrote them a letter." "Was the letter sent by wireless?" was the natural retort. Mr. Blumauer Just replied -with that customary smile. The smile was a bit irritating then, for an answer to the question was badly wanted. Finally Mr. Blumauer admitted the honeymooners had arrived safely and the expenditure of duty had not been un necessarily heavy. There were no fines and no talk of fines, either, in that case. Mr. Blumauer did not admit he had con fided in friendly customs examiners. So it Is quite true you are a smug gler, then?" was the almost parting shot. ' 'I am certainly not." was the laugh ing response. "Now remember it was all a misunderstanding. . And remember I smiled all the time. Whatever they said of me they nad to admit I was smiling cheerfully the whole time." Then Mr. Blumauer settled into his machine. He spoke of the good feeling it gave a Portlander to be back again. And he smiled again. I You I Can Win I Success 1 if you save part of your : I earnings.

Music by Portland Singers Was Best Ever Heard In Pnget Sound, He WTas Told, Dozens after dozens of singers are begTnning to drift into Portland from Seattle, where they sang as members of the Portland Festival Chorus at the A-T-P Exposition, Oregon day. But all the pilgrims are not home yet. Many of them are lingering around Puget Sound enjoyinj? their regular vacation. Among the officers of the Portland Chorus who have returned home Is President Goodrich, and he is enthusl astic over the kind reception accorded the chorus on the trip. Mr. Goodrich was accompanied by Mrs. Goodrich and their two children. Conductor Boyer, Mrs. BOyer and Miss Peggy Boyer ex pect to remain in Seattle for the next two or three weeks, visiting friends. "The Portland Festival Chorus cer tainly met with much favor when it sang- in this city at the May festival, but the reception it received on that occasion was equalled and added to in Seattle," said Mr. Goodrich. "I was told by Seattle people that the excel lent singing of the Portland chorus was surprise to them, and that they had never before listened to anything so good in a vocal way. The Auditorium, where the concert took place Friday night, is a beautiful building capable of seating say 3000 people, and one feature which made the singing of the Portland chorus so suc cessful was a semi-circular overhead shell on the platform. This shell in creased remarkably the acoustic prop erties. The audience was between 2000 and SOOO, largely made up of Seattle people. I do not think that a large number of Oregon people were present on that occasion. Their reception of us was most kind. Nothing could have been kinder to a visiting chorus, and the applause, especially in commenda tion of the singing of the Stabat Mater selling steeplechase at two and a half miles. J. E. Wldener's Mr. McCann won the Prix de France, an international steeplechase handicap at two miles and nve furlongs. The latter stake was valued at $4000. WHERE TO DINE.

And the idea that Portland in.i. should have actually taken the slightest cognizance of published statements that collector L.oet and Mr. Blumauer had had a quiet little conference together seemed to be altogether too much for the returning traveler. When he was asked as to how ho off the fine so reported, the smile appeared broader than ever, it widened more, and soon there was nothlno- iiuiiu-eaoiti cls mat smile.
