NEW CHARTER IS CAUSE ExecntiTe Sails for Honolala Think--ing Campaign Starte Rumor Is Lieutenants Will Walt to See If Commission Form Wins. Mayor Rushlight la on the high seas, bound from Honolulu to San Francisco with his bride, on a honeymoon trip. Having telegraphed to his friends here early last week before leaving for his voyage from California, authorising them to announce his candidacy for re election, he thinks he is formally in the rare and that his campaign here is un- ' der way. - It will be news to him. when he reaches San Francisco, to find that he in not formally a candidate and that his name has not been presented to the people of Portland by his friends here for the office of Mayor. This unusual and Interesting story became public yesterday, when a rumor got abroad that a combination of candidates for the Mayorallty might be effected whereby they would not enter the pri maries, but would await the outcome of the commission charter proposal, and. should It be adopted by the people May S. to then start their respective cam palgns. Hurried Meetlna Is Held. : (The rumor is to the effect that Gay Lombard, avowed candidate for Mayor, had made a suggestion to this effect and tliat. when It was received by the Rushlight people, they held a hurried meeting, discussed the thing from every point of ' view and decided that they would not announce Rushlight's can didacy, as authorized by him from San Francisco, but would await his home coming. It Is said they felt it would be taking too much responsibility for them to turn down such a proposal, in view of the situation, and decided to let him make the final decision himself. Therefore, without his knowledge, he is not formally a candidate, yet he la to all Intents and purposes a candidate, having telegraphed his friends here to that effect and , authorizing them to start his campaign. As a result, he Is returning "from his honeymoon In the belief, that his campaign is under way In Portland. Cray rjombard. when asked if he had made-such-a suggestion, made an em phatic denial. . "f never heard of this proposition be fore," declared Mr. Lombard. "I am a candidate under the present charter and am in the race to stay. I stand for good government and. If nominated May 3 and the "commission charter carries. I will run. under that form. I am for good government and whatever decision the. people-make will be satisfactory to me. I will, serve under either charter, although personally I am in favor of commission government. If nominated and elected; however, I will conduct the office 'In the interests of the people. "Mr platform and policies are well known; I have had my campaign under way for a 'long time and am In the race to the finish. Any other candidate can !A as h sees fit. but I am going. Into the -primaries and abide by the result." . Acting Mayor Reticent. George -L: Baker, acting Mayor, and rlosft political lieutenant of Mayor Rushlight, when asked as to the rumor that Rushlight had telegraphed author ization to launch his campaign, ad mitted tbat such was the case. Ke was reticent, however, but he would not deny that It was true. That Rushlight did so authorize, there is no doubt. Acting Mayor Baker admitted that it is true that Rushlight firmly believes that his campaign is tinder way. but said that the Mayor's friends did not wish to accept the responsibility for deciding whether Rushlight would be In the primaries or whether he would agree to waive the primary race and w whether the commission charter carries.

In Graham Moffat's Scotch play, "Buty Pulls the Strings," Miss Molly Mc lntyre Is generally conceded to be as lovable as any author could have hoped Bunty to be. The charm of youth, as well as the spirit of the role, are said to have entered so closely into her playing that it is difficult to imagine Bunty In any other hands. She is sweet or bitter, hard or sympathetic, plain tive or pleasant, as is demanded by the situation, yet never overdoing It nor spoiling the general effect for the sake of personal triumph. Miss Mclntyre is a stranger to port- land theatergoers. She will make her first appearance here at the Heilig Theater when "Bunty Pulls the Strings" begins its week's engagement on Mon day night, March 10. Buntv Pulls the Strings" Is a ro mance of a Scotch hamlet, Llntiehaugh, that nestles at the foot of Lintiehaugh e-lcn. The-Dlay has an atmuspnere, it Is said that defies analysis. It is a SOIL DRAWS MANY Central Oregon Mecca of 50 Jewish Families. AID SOCIETY OFFICER HERE Stanley Bero, or New York, Does Not Look for Largo Volume of Kuropean Immigration by Panama Canal Gateway. "The tendency among the Jewish Im migrants to the United States to go back to the land is becoming more and more apparent each year," says Stanley Bero. of the Hebrew Immigration and Aid Society of New York, who Is In Portland investigating conditions here, with a view to stimulating organization and preparation for the immigration to the Paclrtc Coast in coming years. "Here In Portland I have found 50 families that are prepared an ! will soon go to Central Oregon to make their homes on the land; and another group is also forming for the purpose -of going to found an agricultural colony some where else In the state. They are not poor people and they will be able to establish and maintain themselves upon farms with no material aid from chari ties or similar organizations they go on the land independent. The fact that they are abandoning their present pursuits to take to the soil Indicates that they are striving to become once more what the Jewish people were orig inally an agricultural people.". Imaalgratlom Estimates Made. Mr. Bero does not expect a great flood of European Immigration to pour into the Pacific Coast with the opening of the Panama Canal.

THE STRINGS." play of types quaint, loveable types that are new to the stage and that have been transplanted from real life with wonderful fidelity and skill. Chief of those types are Bunty and her father, old Tammas Blggar: Miss Susie Simpson, the spinster, and her bucolic nephew. Weelum Sprunt, in love with Bunty; Ellen Dunlop. the "per petual bride." and her pretty niece, Teenie, and Rab Blggar, the youthful brother of Bunty. These are only the chief characters of the play. There are many more that serve to round out the action of the play. Into the mouths of these the author has put a droll humor and a homely wisdom which keeps the audience In roars and chuckles of delighted mirth. Now and then there Is a touch of pathos, but "Bunty Pulls the Strings" is nine parts comedy and only one part sentiment. It has been called "the laughing suc cess of the century." Certainly it has had a tremndous popularity throughout the country, and doubtless will make just as big, a hit In Portland as it has elsewhere. to a place, he says, usually to join some friends or relatives who preceded them and by ascertaining the character and number of alien people we have living In the Northwest, at the present time we may estimate the character and pro portion of new immigration that will come. "The Panama Canal will undoubtedly bring to you a vastly increased amount of freight." said Mr. Bero. "but I am doubtful if the human freight will in crease at once to great proportions. Those who are here already and are sending for friends and relatives will probably prefer to have them come to the Atlantic ports and make the trip across the continent, even though the cost of passage may be a trifle greater." The local organization of the Jewish charities Is in excellent condition for taking care of incoming Jewish immi grants. In his opinion- The society in New York last year directed 74 Immi grants who were bound for Portland. The Jewish population in Portland is estimated at 8000. Advertising; Influence Been. "The aim of our work is to lead the Jewish immigrant, by kindly and sym pathetic handling, gradually to assimi late American customs, with due regard to the ideals that he may bring to America with him." Mr. Bero holds that immigration flows toward the opportunities it de sires, and that the type of immigration that Oregon will receive will depend upon what opportunities it holds out for the prospective immigrant along the lines of activity that the state places the most emphasis upon in its advertising. EARL MARKHAM ARRESTED Coos Bay Boy, Indicted, Finally Fonnd Here by Joe Day. With ambitions to see more of the world than they could at their homes at North Bend, on Coos Bay, Earl Markham and Henry Carlson, both be ing under 21 years of age. left there in June last and during the Summer worked at different logging camps along the Columbia River. While working at the camp of the Deep River Logging Company Markham disap peared, taking with him three' postal money orders belonging to Carlson that aggregated $140, and these he later forged and secured money on them at stores In Astoria and Portland. . The recent Federal grand Jury re turned a secret indictment against Markham. but no trace of him could be learned until Friday, when he was arrested here by Detective Jpe Day and turned over to the Federal offi cials. Young Markham is said to be connected with a pioneer and promi nent family of Coos County. HERDMAN SEEKS POSITION Washington High Principal Candi date for Superintendent. H. H. Herdman, principal of the Washington High School, yesterday definitely announced his candidacy for appointment to the office of City School Superintendent for Portland to succeed Frank Rigler, whose resignation will take effect at the end of the present school year. It had been reportedthat Mr. Herd man was a candidate for appointment as the successor to L. R. Alderman in the offlce of State Superintendent of Public Instruction. In case Mr. Alder man receives appointment as Mr. Rlg ler's successor, but this Mr. Herdman denied emphatically. i Should Grocers Fail to Co-operate in Women's Cam paign, Plans Are Laid. ADVERTISING FUND RAISED Final Meeting Will Be Held Tues . day to Complete Initial Effort of Housewives In Fight to Cut . Down Iiving Cost. . Should the grocers of Portland fail to co-operate with the vomcn of the city in their first attack upon the high cost of living with the Apple day sales set for Thursday. Friday and Saturday, it Is possible and quite probable that the women nay engineer the sale di rectly themselves, although they - in tend to carry it out through the regular avenues of retail trade If possible. Overtures have been made by several growers and by commission houses In the city, to the women at the head of the movement, suggesting that they handle the sale direct and several car loads, of apples have been offered them for the purpose. The grocers, however, have expressed their willingness to co operate in the sale and the women have announced that they prefer to carry out their sale through the retailers so far as possible. If the Apple day proves successful, the same methods will be pursued in . other movements which are to follow, but if the grocers cannot be prevailed upon to give their full co-operation, direct sales under the auspices of the women s organization will result. Grocers Are Contributing. Mrs. A, King Wilson, chairman of the committee' which Is ' working on- the project, has sent out to every grocer In Portland a letter asking them to contribute $1 each to the fund for cov ering the advertising campaign which will precede the opening of the sales. Already contributions from many of the - producers and wholesalers have been received, and answers from the grocers of the city are expected to be all In today. Grocers will also oe en couraged to advertise the apple day sales In advance through the puoitc press, so that interest may be directed as strongly as posslble,upon this first feature In the campaign to reduce the prices of staple food products. A final meeting between the women's committee and representatives from the wholesalers, retailers and producers will be held Tuesday to complete the plans for launching the apple sales on Thursday. Grocers' Association Favorable. With the pledge of the "Retail GrO' cers' Association already given to assist In every way - possible, the committee expects a similarly favorable attitude on the part of the other grocers of the city who are not members of that organization and believes that house wives of Portland may look forward to the three-day sale this week as some thing that will be city-wide in Its ex tent and most effective as an opening to the campaign which they expect to carry on. COAST ARTISTS EXHIBIT MUSEUM OP ART HANGS CAN' VASSBS FOR MONTH. Notable Examples of Scenic Color ing, Largely Western,. .Shown by Painters of Three' States. BT LILIAN TINGLE. The first annual exhibition of the work of artists of the Pacific Coast was opened yesterday at the Museum of Art, Seventh and Taylor streets. Among the examples by California artists is an important canvas by Mrs. Mary Curtis Richardson, of San Francisco, "Mother and Child," broadly treated and with beautiful color. Charles Rollo Peters. In "Old Custom House at Monterey." snows his charac. terlstlc favorite effects of moonlight on white walls and the gleam of can dle light. Alice Blair Ring, of Pomona, Cal., has three delicate miniatures and a large oil painting. "Canal and Bridge at Bruges." In contrast with these richly colored paintings from California are two by a Washington artist, Oscar Brousse Jacobson. of Pulman, Wash. One is a large, dark and rather dryly painted portrait. The second Is more pleasing and shows a girl on a sunny hilltop against a background of brilliant blue sky; but one's Interest is . somewhat distracted by the rather too obvious technique. Among the works by Portland artists one cannot help noticing two vigorous ly treated snow scenes by Ellen Ravens- "I Wear Spectacles Now1 "Not the ordinary kind, but Fits-U Spectacles Improvements in the bridge made them light and easy on mv nose. And I have had TORlC LENSES put into them." If you wear glasses or ought to, it is worth your while to consult- COLUMBIAN OPTICAL CO. 145 Sixth St. Selling Bldg. ,AOG Adelaide Magner sends "Pathway Through Firs,- a simply, painted bit or shady forest. Other characteristic bits of Western scenery are shown by Mrs. E. O. Sisson in her "Mount Rainier in Winter"; by A. J. Stover, of Corvallls. in .After the Storm." and by Melville T. Wire, of Gresham, in "Blooming Camas in Goose Lake Valley." There are also several Interesting California scenes. "Arroyo Secco Mountains," and "A Road In Dry Valley." by Julius Berzevisy. Among other attractive watercolors are two by Mary Hillyer, especially the "Mouth of Necanlcum, which shows a fresh, direct handling of a scene well known to all who visit Seaside, and a crisp bright Scottish scene. "Ed In burgh Castle," by Jeanne M. Stewart. One finds a deeper and more personal note in the work of Clara J. Stephens, wlio expresses so clearly an individual sense of beauty that one does not notice an occasional slight lapse in construe' tion. The fine quality of color In the painting of "Miss A," the silvery atmos phere of "Sailboats," the truthfulness and' beauty of her Interpretation of the West In "A Bit of Old Iewiston.'- the rich purple hills of her "White Salmon"' sketch, and the Spring feeling of "Cherry Blossoms" sound a variety of notes ail futl of vitality and charm. The landscapes of H. F. Wentz have the lasting qualities . of reserve and poetry, not always found in modern work. Under the appeal of their sym pathetic and beautiful color and com position, there is a firm structure of knowledge. The delicate greens and grays of "Spring" express the soft climate of our Willamette Valley, while the "Eastern Oregon Woods" is full of the dry tonic atmosphere of the pines, and "Late Afternoon" has the concen trated quietness of that hour. The three landscapes by Agnes D. jamieson are also examples of the dis tinction gained by quiet reserve and restraint. "Neahkahnle" is subdued but rich in color, and all three are to be observed for their qualities of richness and simplicity. In the small still life by Anna Crocker is shown a fine sense of unity of composition and of the -delicate beauty of flowers. . Kate Winner's "Willamette Over flow" is a clear and vigorous bit of landscape, and "The Wharfs." by C. A. Walters IS rich and vivid. Mrs. Ernest R. Eldredge's work shows truth of values. There are also pleasing land scapes by Nelly Fox and Rockwell W. Carey. Among other exhibitors are W. H. Blevins, Norman Biles, C. J. Fulton, Althea Chase, Val De Veroux, Clyde Keller, Mae De Wert, Colista M. Dowl lng and Mrs. Lizzie Eastman. A "Small Boy," by Dorothy Vedder, Is promisingly clever In color and ex pression for a young student, but shows a need for more consideration of con struction and the underlying facta of vision. Sh&nna Oummlng shows a pro file of a young man and a full-length figure of a woman In rose color, the latter being particularly remarkable for Its good workmanship. Katherine Emmons has & miniature which is pleasing in color. Mary Hortense Webster has a richly painted interior, showing a Brittany peasant home with the interest center ing in gleaming copper' pans, and an atmospheric sketch of the "Garden of the Tuilleries." Miss Webster shows also a statuette of a Japanese boy, which Is simply and strongly modelled, and notable as so thoroughly charac teristic In feeling, pose and expression of a certain phase of modern Japan. Three portrait busts, an elderly man. a mature woman and a young child, by Esther Hult, are vigorous and clear-' HOTEL MULTNOMAH Another great treat for lovers of good Music, Singing and Eefined Entertainment.
