TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAIT, PORTIiAND, XOVE3IBEB 16. 1913. 11 EAST SIDE FAVORED FOR TRADE SCHOOL Association for Education of Deaf Sponsor for Meeting to Discuss Issue. SABIN SAYS GO SLOWLY Plan to Add Extra Mill to Ivevy to Stand Cost at This Time Argued as Untimely Plmnmer Urges Immediate Action. That the new trade school would be erected the coming: year on blocks 66 and 56, Holladay's Addition, bounded by Kast First,. Hassalo, Adams and Mult nomah streets, and that provision should be made In the budgret for this year wan the sentiment or the meeting; held in Kast Portland Branch Library Friday night. After discussion by O. M- Flummer, rt. L. Sabln and Judgre W. N. Gatens a vote was taken and this site was in dorsed unanimously, Mr. Sabln alone voting for the West Side location, or rather against erecting a new building at this time. The meeting: was held under the aus pices of the Oregon Association for the Kducation of the Deaf and Mrs. C. A. Ward, president, explained the object of the gathering. She called attention to the handiwork of deaf pupils on ex hibition which had been made in the manual trafnfno Hnnaptmanf r, 9 K Buckman School, where the only school for the deaf in Portland is maintained. Mr. Plumber outlined the trade school programme, its needs and probable cost. He said that the Board of Edu cation is unanimously In favor of the trade school, except Chairman Sabin, who opposed the Bast Side purchase at this time. Mr. Plummer pointed out on the map the location favored in Holladay's Ad dition, and undertook to show that such location would bring the trade school closer to the people than if the West Fide site were used. Mr. Plummer said the trade school on the West Side is maintained In the old building. Eleventh and Couch, which is overcrowded and ill-fitted for the purpose. The old structure contains, he said, $100,000 worth of machinery. If the new site is selected, he said, there would be a tract 200 by 460 feet, and machine shops could be erected according to approved plans for taking care of the trade school for many years to come, besides there would be ample space. Practically, he said, the location is reached by every street-car line in Portland. The two blocks will cost $125,000, and the building for the trade school will cost, said Mr. Plummer, 175.O0O, and by adding 1 mill to the levy the building can be erected. Sabin Explains Stand. Chairman Sabin declared that he had favored the trade school from the time he was eleeted director, but he con tended that at the present time the trade school situation is cared for and fun be handled for some time, without purchasing the Cast Side site and erecting an expensive building. "In my Judgment," said Mr. Sabln, "the district has no more use for the two blocks on the Bast Side than a cat bus for two tails. I don't care anything about the East Side-and the WFSt Side, and I don't like to hear the terms used. I live on the East Side and do what little business I have on the West Side. It is not the handsome or expensive building which makes any school; it is the students in the building. The ideal college is illustrated by the picture of a student on one end of a log and Johns Hopkins on the other. We are taking care of the trade school very well in the old building at Couch and Eleventh and have provided eight rooms in the old Lincoln High School, which will take cars of the trade school at the present time. Now my idea of the trade schoolhouse situation is this: When we build a trade school we should build the first unit on the site 100 by 100 near the Lincoln High School, pur chased by the district for $50,000 some time ago. That location will be near the Lincoln High, with its great gath ering of boys and girls. Then we can build another unit near the Jefferson High School, where we have five acres and where there is ample room. Then we can build somewhere near the Washington High School, where we must acquire the west balance of the blocks there. This would take care of the trade school situation for some time to come." Taxation Factor Figured. "It is my Judgment that under the present financial situation that the ad ditional taxation that will be required will impose too great a burden on the taxpayers of this city. You must re member that there is a limit to the taxpaying capacity of the people. I was at the polls last year when the taxpayers voted en the bond issue we asked for and heard some of the com ments made as the taxpayers and home owners cast their votes. It was a warn ing to be heeded. Don't misunderstand me I favor the trade school, but at this time I don't think we Bhould pur chase this site and erect this building." "I have been engaged to hammer down the estimates and lowering the tax levy for the ensuing year," said Commissioner BlgeloW, "and I should like to ask if the site of the old Lin coln High School has been offered for sale. It seems to me that it should bring $500,000. That would be suffU cient to purchase the East Side site- and erect the building for the trade school with this additional tax." Mr. Plummer said that there had been no offer for .the site at $200,000, but it could be sold in the course of . time, but not at present. After further discussion a standing vote of the audience was taken, when everyone present, except Mr. Sabln, voted for the erection of the trade school on the East Side sits and that an extra mill tax be levied. Judge Gatens explained the opera tions of the Juvenile Court. He Said that the trade school would supplement the work of the Juvenile Court, and expressed the hope that it would be built according to the expressed wish of the audience. MELBA, KUBELIK SHOW UNPARALLELED POWER Great Musical Artists Draw Mammoth Audiences Armory Secured to Accommodate Large Patronage Expected When Pair Appear Here. ax -.v: v . ji - -V C55c -I 4sr mmmmmM -i , .-ate" 5 .

THE extraordinary Interest that surrounds the newly announced Melba-Kubelik tour and their concert in Portland December 4. has not been duplicated in many years in musical circles over the country gen erally. Each of these stars alone has unparalleled drawing power. Kubelik, for example, by himself alone opened the season October 6 in Chicago at Or chestra Hall to a $3600 bouse, the door sale being the biggest in the history of the hall, and 200 seats had to be put on the stage. This was record breaking, and particularly so for a vio linist, without any assisting artist; Melba, of course, generally is rec ognized as surpassing all other stars in bringing enormous box-offleo re ceipts, owing to the fact that she is without a rival in the world's history for the wonderful beauty and purity of her voice. On September 29 she opened the season in Montreal alone to another record-breaKing house, the box office receipts -reaching the astounding figure of $6318.25. When it is remembered that each of these stars alone Is able to attract colossal assemblies of music-lovers. some conception may be formed of what may be expected of the two artists In combination. The Only prob lem In this remarkable offering of two worm-renowned celebrities is to find an auditorium- large enough to accom modate the vast throngs that desire to embrace this unusual opportunity of hearing the two stars, each without a rival. Only the largest cities oan offer such an auditorium. The smaller cities are proffering circus tents and other ingenious and wildly desperate meth ods of meeting the difficulty, so eager are they to avail themselves of this extraordinary offering. In this way they hope to brin down the prices ao as to enable the great mass of people to enjoy a treat that probably never again will occur in their lives. The amount demanded by the Melba Kubelik combination is of course such as to frighten many managers. Each star Is accustomed to travel In all the luxury and magnificence of royalty. Kubelik has a special bodyguard, a de voted Hindu, to look after the safety of his priceless violins that he carries with him en tour. The insurance of these is another heavy item. Maids end valets and other adjuncts, together with the expense of private cars, spe cial baggage facilities, etc., bring up the grand total to a fabulous amount. The Lois Steers-Wynn Coman man agement, of this city, undaunted by the magnitude of the enterprise, have de termined to give the people of the Pa cific Northwest an opportunity to hear Melba and Kubelik in- combination at the lowest possible price. - In order to bring down the cost of seats within reach of every man, woman and child who desires to hear these great stars, they have engaged the Armory for the night of December 4. Every effort will be made to have the great hall com fortably warmed for ' the occasion, so that patrons will have nothing to in terfere with the enjoyment of an evening of such muslo as cornea only once In a lifetime. cated on the East Side. It was set forth that there are 21,249 school chil dren and 42 schoolhouses on the East Side, while there are 14 schoolhouses on the West Side. A special committee was appointed to co-operate with the Hawthorne Parent-Teacher Association on the relo cation of the Hawthorne building. It was the sense of the meeting that if the Hawthorne Schoolhouse must be moved that it should be located near the present .site and not at East Thirtieth and East Harrison streets, as proposed. It was reported that at pres ent more than 800 children attend the Hawthorne building, which is an in crease of about 70 more than last year. COURT TAKES CHILDREN Boy, 14, and Girl, ie, Left Wifchont Food, Ordered! Sent to Home. Charles and Edith Fox, 14 and 12 yeaj-s old, respectively, were ordered sent to the Detention Home yesterday by Judge Gatens. Officers of the Ju venile Court who have visited the home of their father at East Seventy-second street South report that the children often are left without food and care. Besides the father, there are two brothers one 19 and the other 21 years old. The brothers, the officer reported, bring meat home and cook It for them selves, but give the children none. Edith has a gash on her head, said to have been inflicted when one of the older boys threw a stick of wood at her. In the courtroom yesterday morning Edith began to cry, but her little brother came to her rescue and said: "Don't cry. sister,, you will get along all right. You have me to help take eare of you." Further investigation f the case will be made by the officers of the Juvenile Court Patrolman Is Suspended. Patrolman C. Q. Ferry was suspended from the service yesterday, following the filing with the Municipal Civil Service Commission ' of charges of as saulting a woman living on Kast Four teenth street. Suspension was recom mended by Chief Clark of the police department. BEAVERTON MAN READS THE OREGQNIAN 51 YEARS Henry 0.

The Greater Hast Side Club, attended Friday night by delegates from 20 im provement clubs, passed resolutions fa voring Union avenue as the main ap proach to the proposed interstate bridge across the Columbia River. The resolutions set forth that Union avenue will accommodate the greatest num ber of people and connect with all the thoroughfares of Portland and Mult nomah County.

WATTS, of Beaverton. is a native Oregonlan and haa been a reader of The Oregonlan for more than 61 years. He was born at Scappoose, and came to Beaverton when 7 years old. He used to read The Ore gonlan by the light of a tallow dip In the early days. "I well remember going to Portland as a boy," he writes in a letter to The Oregonlan. "We went with an ox team and I served as flagman. The roads were rough and full of stumps. Down the Canyon road to Jefferson street the way was so narrow that two wag ons could not pass except at turn-outs. One had to go ahea-d and flag wagons coming In the opposite direction." Arriving at Fourth street, they found it "just about the same as 60 years ago," Mr. Watts writes. "It was blocked with a grading out fit in just about the same shape that I found it the other day when in Port land," he says. We had to leave our wagon and walk the rest of the way into town." He says that with the exception of Fourth street, 60 years has made a wonderful change in Portland, trans forming it from a small town into a beautiful city. Kerns School Folic to Meet.
