Out-of-town speakers occupied the floor for the greater part of the morn ing, laying before the Oregon Associa tion plans that had proved effective In other states in attracting tourist travel and which were credited with en riching those states by several million dollars. F. T. Robson, manager of tho Shat tuck Hotel at Berkeley, Cal., empha sised the great part that California's $18,000,000 highway system of about 1000 miles of paved roads has played in securing what he estimated to be 50. 000.000 annually from travelers from east of the Rocky Mountains. That Oregon might profit similarly from the proposed Pacific Northwest Tourist Association or a like organiza tion. Mr. Robson advocated the circu lation of an extensive propaganda in the East, setting forth the natural won ders of the Northwest. Illustrative of the accommodations provided for visit ors m California, he explained the plans of the publicity bureau of that state to run a special train from Chi cago on February 24 to carry the autos of prospective visitors to the West. Publicity Declared Beneficial. R. W. Walker, of Paso Robles. Cal. and F. W. Paget, of Denver, recently named assistant manager of the Hotel Multnomah here, also dwelt on the suc cess of publicity work in those states, suDsijintiaiing me claims or almost faburous resultant benefits. .feity tnievery or commodities that result in hundreds of dollars of loss to the hotels during the year and numer ous other leaks that put a dent in the ticl piuiiis were cuiiuemnea ana el move inaugurated to alter the system in such a, manner that these will be eliminated ' Richard W. Childs. formerly secretary of the Boise Commercial Club, and who ' recently came to Portland to manage the Hotel Portland, made a brief ad dress after his election to the presi dency. The association proposes to hold i big entertainment and business meeting at Medford in May during the Straw- i berry Festival. Value of Hotel Man Pointed Out. Further organization for the attrac tion of tourist travel to Oregon was undertaken at the banquet last night. According to Phil Metschan, Jr., who dwelt upon the subject in detail, invest ments. In this Industry overshadowed any other for the same year by many million dollars. Richard W. Childs, president, em phasized the great value of the hotel man to the welfare of the community, both as an adviser to the prospective investor and as a promoter of pros ' perity. The importance of the greeter to th success of the hotel man was aptly il Justrated by John T.

JUDGE GRANTS PERMISSION Portland Lad, Whose Musical Abil ity Has Won Much Recognition, Will Replace Anna Chandler, Who Was Called to East, Louis Kaufman, the phenomenal boy violinist of Portland, has been booked to appear at the Orpheum. The little boy's opportunity came yesterday when Carl Reiter, manager of the Orpheum at Seattle, telegraphed that Anna Chan dler," who was billed as the extra at traction of the show, would not be able to appear. Miss Chandler received word yester day that her mother was dying, and departed for the East immediately to be by her side. The boy violinist will take her place in the show for the four days engagement here, commenc ing with the matinee today. Engagement Deemed Honor. Young Kaufman was heard in concert at the Heilig Theater October 26. and made such a good impression that his name was put on the Orpheum's emer gency list. His Orpheum engagement is his first recognition by vaudeville, and the fact that the youngster begins with the "big time" is regarded as a high honor for one of his years, as it is customary for young artists to go through a probationary period in the small time. The boy musician will be heard in a repertoire calculated to show his great talent as a violinist. His selections will include a classical number or two and several popular pieces. Lad Born In Portland. Louis Kaufman is the son of Mr. and Mrs. I. Kaufman, of 346 Columbia street. He was born and reared in Portland, and has been stu3ying violin for more than four years. He handles the bow like a maestro, and lias the stage presence of a veteran. Special permission was obtained by the Orpheum management yesterday rrom judge cieeton, of the Juvenile Court, to list little Louis as extra Orpheum attraction. His vaudeville engagement will not Interfere with his school work. FAMILY AWAY; HOME BURNS Flames From C. W. Marshall Resi dence Nearly Leap Street. The home of C. W. Marshall. E48 Rosemont avenue, was destroyed last night at 10:20 o'clock by fire which reached almost across the street at times. The house was unoccupied at tne time. Jir. .Marshall and his family having gone to visit relatives. The neighbors noticed the fire too late to save any of the contents of the house. The house was a four-room struc ture. JEWELER FACES TRIAL i 1. Aronson Arrested for Alleged De- ceptive Advertising. I. Aronson, proprietor of a jjewelry store at Broadway and Washington street, will be tried In the Municipal Court some time the coming week on MUSICIANS OF OREGON MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION CONVENTION JUST deceptive advertising charge. Ir. Aronson was arrested on complaint of L. L. Baum, cjiairman of the Portland Ad Club better business committee. The complaint state3 that "solid gold cuff buttons" advertised for sale by Mr. Aronson contained but a. small- per centage of gold. The assay of the jewelry is now in the hands of the City Attorney. The prosecution will be assisted by Attorney Frederick H. Whitfield, while Attorney C. P. Schnabel represents. Mr. Aronson. It i3 probable that a 'Jury rial will be demanded, and the case set for a night hearing. Mr. Aronson last night declared the charge against him was based entirely on a manufacturing technicality, and intended to give him undesirable pub licity. The cuff link objected to, like all other standard gold goods, has & stif- ened post between the top and the berry of the botton," he said. "A gold cuff link cannot be serviceable and have absolutely no stiffening in the post. I have no fear of the charge. A solid gold watch must have a stiffen- ng material in the hinge or the stem. That is what characterizes the cuff link In question." FIVE TEACHERS RETIRED ASSOCIATION NOW HAS IS LOANS, (180,800, DRAWING 7 PER CENT.

AND WASHINGTON POSE IN A O F OREGON STATE MCSIC TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. CONCLUDED IN PORTLAND. ERRY WAR BREWS Civic League Tries to Take Up Child Welfare. . WOMEN'S CLUBS OBJECT Federation Has Programme of Leg islation and Wants Clear Field. Charge of "Hog the Game" Is Made. War over the child welfare question brewed and brewed at the luncheon of the Civic League yesterday and those that had come to listen to the talk on municipal paving, remained to watch the war cloud grow and to whet their snickersnees for the State Federation of Women's Clubs. This came to pass because of dis sension in the ranks of the child wel fare advocates and. some of the mem bers of the Civic League indig nantly characterized it, an expressed intention on the part of the State Fed eration of Women's Clubs to hog th game" in child welfare conferences and to make it very, very unpleasant, in deed, if any other organization at tempted to tread upon this topic. Federation Has Programme. Inquiry as to the connection of the federation with the decision to cance the programme temporarily, elicited th information that the women's club had "already arranged a legislativ programme" on child welfare and tha for it to be brought before the Civic League would result in a duplication to which the federation would object. The Civic League is, it is held on the other hand, an open forum and not a body that elaborates legislative programmes, and its representatives failed to see yesterday where the duplication ob ejeted to came in. The programme was arranged origi nally at the request of the Governor and he was to act as chairman and was to send out invitations to representa tive men and women in all parts of the state. Dr. George Rebec, of the State University, was in charge of the ar rangements, and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, wife of the president of the State Uni versity, was actively .co-operating in developing the programme. League to Meet Again. The Civic League has arranged a sub stitute programme for next Saturday, at which the subject will be the same. but a different programme will be fol lowed, the speakers being Bishop Sum ner and Dr. W. H. Slingerf ield. of the Russell Sage Foundation. The report of the nominating com mittee was received at the meeting yesterday, recommending James B. Kerr for president, and the following for the executive board: A. C. Newill, Gertrude Talbot, Professor W. C. Mor gan, Mrs. E. R. Corbett, Professor Thome, of Lincoln High School, and' L. B. Smith. The election will be at the annual meeting, December 19. The speakers in the programme yes terday, on the paving question, were County Commissioner Rufus Holman, F. W. McKechnie, of Oregon City: Philip Dater, City Engineer, and A. G. Johnson, of the city engineering de partment. With the exception of Mr. Holman, the speakers spoke strongly in favor of municipally owned paving plants, and the lat speaker made some severe criticisms of the big pav ing concerns in the country. Socialist Club to Meet. There will be an open meeting at Turn Hall tonight, under the auspices of the Portland Socialistic Club. Mod ern science and the present world crisis will be discussed.
