There Is a pas sion in the magic bow of this man, and a fire on his strings not heard in .many years, and In the. Dvorak "Canzon eta," which he plays this afternoon, Kreisler is irresistible in the -melancholy and longing lie expresses. The recital this afternoon at the Bungalow - Theater begins promptly at 3:30 o'clock and no one will be seated during the opening number, which Is the great Mendelssohn . Concerto. Among other inspiring names on the programme Kreisler' plays today are Tartini. Couperin, Bach, Francouer, Wlenlawski, Brahms and others.

DAILY ATTENDANCE LIGHT Inclement Weather and Opposition From Organization of Merchants -Catrse Financial Down i fall of Scheme, Owtnr t v lack of patronage, the re sult of the 6torm which has prevailed In Portland during the past week,, and an alleged undercurrent of opposition onthe part of one of the city's merchants' pro tective organizations, the promoters of the House Beautiful Exposition at the Armory, the' most attractive show ever .opened in this city, allowed an attach ment to tie run against the exhibition company, and the show was closed at noon yesterday. -Many of the 18 booth exhibits were removed last night, while the remainder were under guard by a deputy constable under pay of ConstaJbie Wagner and a member of the state militia. The attachment was Issued as a Tesult of a suit begun by a man named O'Con nor, who had solicited the advertising for the programme, and who charges $113 to toe due for his labor; The car penters and plumbers who performed much of the labor in preparing? the 'booths have not as yet been paid, but have not begun suits. Although they had per formed their labor and were entitled to their money, they acted with great len iency toward the promoters of the exhi bition. Effort was made by the court officers to hold oil of the exhibits, valued at more than $100,000, as security for the trivial debt of the solicitor, tout under advice of the attorneys representing the different exhibitors, the goods were taken away. Officers of The People's Institute disclaim responsibility for all debts. The House Beautiful was promoted by the copartnership alleged to consist of H. A. Bushea, late secretary to Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio; George Johnson, and a man named 'Marshall, all of whom came from the A. Y. P. Exposition and are experienced showmen.. In addition to the percentage of gross receipts promised the Institute, that or ganization was allowed to operate one booth from which It received the entire receipts and two others which were run on a SO per cent basis. Prior to the opening of the show It is stated that a protective association of merchants sent out a letter to all mem bers of that body, .urging that no patron age should he extended to the House Beautiful. It is supposed that this ac tion and the inclement weather which has been encountered has caused the attend ance to hover between 17 and 39 each day. A clause In the contract between the promoters and the People's Institute com mittee required that the Inter-Ocean Ex hibition Company should deposit $600 for rental of the Armory for the week in the hands of Colonel Charles McDonell. prior to the opening of the show. When the ladies of the committee from the People's Institute learned on Tuesday that the ex hibition company had paid only $300 of the amount, the committee at once called the promoters on the carpet. On Wednesday the Inter-Ocean Com pany informed the Institute eommittije that Its members could not raise the money necessary to meet that expense. Realizing that many other bills would necessarily be incurred. the institute committee announced that the People's Institute was not responsible.. This ac tion practically caused the closing of the show. The Neealecraft Shop, now located at 388 Yamhill, near West Park.
