Includes Clusters of Aig rette, Bird of Paradise, Heron and Gonra Pigeon. Samples of . what milady may not wear on her hat or in her hair in the line of plumage are to be viewed in a case on the second floor in the Central library, where they have been placed through the efforts of William L. Finley, president of the Oregon Audubon society. The group includes various clusters of aigrette and bird of paradise on which high valuation is placed, heron and goura pigeon. In all there are 17 plumes and an aigrette head. The feathers were sent here by T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the Na tional Audubon society of New York and represent portions of a large cargo of contraband feathers which were being smuggled into the country for use in millinery stores. Such feathers have been barred by laws passed several years ago, which, in addition to prohibiting importation of plumage of wild birds for millinery purposes, also prohibits killing native birds by plume hunters. Smugglers have endeavored to get by with the plumes because of the large amount of money paid for them. One of the bird of paradise plumes Is valued at the Jobber's price of $150, but would retail at about ?250. An other of aigrette, a single brilliant yellow wing, is quoted by the im porter at $60. Some of the others are of the American egret or great white heron, which formerly lived in the lake region of southern Oregon, and the snowy heron or little egret. The Oregon law prohibits wearing heron plumage. WOMAN IS HIT BY AUTO JElwood H. Wiles, 19, Arrested on Reckless Driving Charge. , Elwood H.

NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS Baker. TO MAKE some money to carry a caravan of Ad club delegates to the Pacific coast advertising conven tion at Stockton, Cal.. to be held May 23 to 8, an octet of more or less brave adventurers from the Ad club put on what had every earmark of being an. impromptu and made-up-as-they-went along entertainment laet night between acts of Lombard!, Ltd.. at the Baker. The Ad club had bought out the theater for Tuesday night, and bought it for last night, too, all moneys over and above the flat rental to go to the caravan fund. Lee Pearl of the Baker figures that something near a thousand dollars will be added to the coffers. Follow ing the first act of Lombardi, Ltd., three pianos were assembled in the studio set, and three gifted Ad club bers proceeded to prove that what man has done can be done. Together, and sometimes not quite so much to gether the three pianists Alan Green, Fred Newton and Maurice Crumpacker played cheer-up tunes, augmenting the novelty further by bursting into occasional song. With all the nonchalance of professionals, friendly and funny they maintained a spirit of harmony, adding notes where they weren t written and jazzing away in fine style. Right in the middle of the musical festivities, in sauntered Mayor Baker and Charles F. Berg in a Mut and Jeff relation of sizes, all done up In their owij evening clothes, topped off by silk hats, canes and gloves which they carelessly draped on the several" pianos while acknowledging the kind applause. Then they pro oeeded to do their dialogue. Mr. Berg would ask Mr. Baker a question and Mr. Baker would Repeat the question and then Mr. Berg would say "Yes George," and George would answer it. Since the questions had mostly to do with things that interest the public the answers were awaited with con siderable interest and applauded and laughed at. Into the argument wan dered Charles Porter, done in ebon, with songs on his lips and curiosity rampant in his soul. He, too, asked questions, and answered a few. To gether the sextet, the three piano hounds, the mayor, Mr. Berg and Mr. Porter, sang, in trios, in duets, they chatted, they danced, they chorused and joked further, and Jesse Rich came in another charcoal edition, to step off a series of eccentric steps to add to the festivities. At the final chorus an usher rushed down the aisle with a neat basket of potatoes for the group from the Women's Ad club. Act two of "Lombardi, Ltd.." was SOAK iTIOiJ'S FOES, SAYS MR. MARSHALL Vice-President Addresses As sociated Press. FREE-SPEECH ADVOCATED Distinction Drawn as to Rightl of Xative-Born and Others Five Directors Re-elected.' NEW TORK, April 21. Vice-President Marshall was applauded by mem bers of the Associate Press at their annual meeting Tuesday when he advocated freedom of speech and press as guaranteed by the constitu tion, but favored "soaking it to the fellow who causes trouble in the American republic by what he says." He drew a distinction as to the rights of free speech between those who were born in this country and others. Native-born, he said, had the right to advocate alteration of the government by constitutional means to socialism or a monarchy, but those who sought a haven In this country had no right to propose a change in the system of government. The vice-president was the chief speaker at the luncheon of the mem bers in connection with the annual meeting, at which the retiring five directors were re-elected by accla mation and four advisory boards and auditing and nominating committees were chosen. Crime Publicity Deplored. After deprecating the amount of publicity given to crime and suggest ing that newspapers pour oil on the troubled waters of unrest by speak ing of the fine things in American life, Mr. Marshall told the meeting what he thought would be real news, namely, "a clarion call from every newspaper in America for men to stand for Justice, for freedom, for right, for the maintenance of the old constitution and the old principles upon which the republic was founded." "There are a great many people, he continued, "who think we are go ing back to where we were before August 1, 1914. We are not,going back there, gentlemen. I would to God it were possible to go back to 1840. But we live in the year of grace 1SJU and we are not going back And you know and I know, whether we close our eyes to it or not, that 10,000,000 men did not agonize and suffer and die upon the far-flung lines of Flanders and France that the world might be what the world was. Press Faces Opportunity. "The problem for the Associated Press is as to whether it is to act as a mere machine, or whether with the opportunities and the privileges the Associated Press has. it will assume some of the responsibilities for bring ing peace ami quietude, and good order at least to America if not the world." The vice-p-esident counseled againBt being discouraged at high prices. He recalled the days after the civir war when, he said, flour sold for $20 a barrel, quinine for $20 an ounce ana calico for 80 cents a yard. "Let us get away from the theory, he said, " that we must either make all the money that we can for to morrow we die, or we must spend the money we have today for fear there will be none tomorrow. Let us under stand that American prosperity can not continue if the farms and fac tories of this country are to produce less and people are to increase and consume more. And what Is the use of talking about congress, or courts, or any other human instrumentality setting aside the plain laws of na ture?" Toast Given to Wilson. The luncheon opened with a toast to the fully-restored health of Presi dent Wilson, proposed by Frank B. Nov es, president of the Associated Press. Briefly reviewing the work of the Associated Press Mr. Noyes said it had become a "hallmark of accu racy, whether the event recorded Is the election of a president, the sign ing of an armistice, a decision of the supreme court or the death, of a pope." He introduced Vice-President Mar shall as one whom the people were followed by some excellent singing by Walter Jenkins. Tonight the same Ad club bill will be repeated with the substitution of the Ad club quar tet de luxe for Mr. Jenkins' solos. The quartet is composed of Mrs. Chatten. Goldie Peterson. Warren Erwin and Walter Jenkins. Auditorium. THAT yoifng and dashing impress sionistic genius of the piano, Leo Ornstein, who makes his home in New York city, played In concert In the public auditorium Tuesday night and delighted his audience of about 4000. At the same time Ornstein was in swift competition with a rival that was eager to beat him. and came perilously near doing it a near mysterious player-piano. So well and so artistically was the mechanical instrument played that it often di vided applause with the human pianist. Less than 30 years old and born in Russia, Ornstein has won' fame as a piano star by leaps and bounds. He sets his ideals of performance quite high, and it is stated that he prepares for his public recital ap pearances by usually playing piano for ten hours daily. Tet. with it all. his art is sane and healthy. Ornstein has been called a cubist and futurist in piano art, ,but little of these traits appeared in last night's recital. It was not an exotic event, but a proper, conventional one devoted to the interpretation of gems from the creations of Beethoven Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy and other distinguished composers, These were played by Ornstein with a pure, bell-like tone of surpassing delicacy and velvet color that had all the tints of the rainbow. For instance, Ornstein played with superb artistry ' the Schuman "Ara besque," bowed in response to the de lighted applause and .walked off the stage. Wonders upon wonders. The piano, by mechanical means, played exactly the same solo, with a. deli cacy of tone, a pure bell tone, a pic ture of tonal beauty all exactly a copy of the solo of the living master, Ornstein. It was the same with the Liszt "Rhapsodie No. 13," the Chopin "Nocturne F sharp major" and the Liszt "Liebestraum." It was a great night for the two rivals Ornstein and the "other one." The audience gave abundant evi dence tfiat it not only liked the re cital, but that it was astonished and thrilled at what it heard. The event was an invitation affair and was directed by the George F. Johnson Piano company. . appreciating more and more because of his delightful personality, his reso lute cheerfulness and sturdy good sense. In concluding their business meet ing the members adopted a vote of thanks to the directors and officers for their efficient service during the the last year, and Victor F. Lawson of the Chicago Daily News gave a short talk on public responsibilities of publishers and the success of co operative news gathering by the As sociated Press. Melville E. Stone, general manager, was called on for a speech and said: "Don't shoot the organist. He's do ing the best he knows how. He's go ing ta continue to do the best be knows how." TEN ON I. W. W.

Hanning was asked by George F. Vanderveer, I. W. W. attorney, if he had not made a remark derogatory to the I. W. W. to a man who was not produced in court, but the reply was in the nega tlve.

Frank Guerin, tax clerk for the Southern Pacific com pany; W. S. Townscnd, employe o Simon Saw Manufacturing company; Christian B. Mulrhead, plumber; E. F.
