Postal Telegraph Company Alleges Proposed Law Would Be Con trary to Franchise. The fourth suit to restrain City Auditor Barbur fro-n placing an initiative petition on the ballot has been filed in the Circuit Court. This time an effort Is being made to quash the proposed ordinance regulat ing the stringing of overhead wires, which Is being backed by linemen of the city. I.. A. McNary and B. A. Lundberg filed the suit late yesterday afternoon. While the nominal plaintiff is the Postal Telegraph Company, the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company is said to be back of the suit, as the latter company would also be aiffected by the ordinance, should it go into effect. The Postal Telegraph Company alleges that it is the successor - of the Postal Telegraph & Cable Company, to which the city granted a franchise to string wires and operate a telephone and tele graph system. The Postal company will be put to great inconvenience, expense, and property loss by the new ordinance, it is asserted. - The complaint also raises the question whether the word "filing" in the law re quiring petitions to be filed 60 days be fore election, means the time when the petition is presented to the City Auditor, or the time when be files the petition after checking it up. As the petition was presented April 7. and filed by the Auditor ten days later, this question becomes ma torial in determining whether or not the initiative petition shall go on the ballot. Judge Bronaugh Issued an order yester day afternoon that the City Auditor ap pear In court this morning at 9:30 o'clock to show cause why he should not appear this afternoon to argue the law points Involved in the suit over the J2,O0O,0OO llTbt and power plant petition. Child Pianist Tendered an Ovation Concert at Hetlla; to Ralne Fund to Send Beatrice Evelyn Wilson Abroad la Success. QUITE an amount of pardonable pride was manifested In the appearance of Beatrice Evelyn Wilson, Portland's child pianist, at the Heilig Theater last night, on the occasion of a concert to raise funds thaough which Miss Be atrice -will receive an education in the larger world of music, preferably at Ber lin, Germany, for which city she leaves next August. At this concert Miss Beatrice had the kind assistance of Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, soprano: Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, contralto: Dom J. Zan, baritone: Waldemar Llnd, violinist, and Kdgar K. Coursen. piano accompanist, the affair being under the auspices of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Portland Lodge, No. 142. It was a pleasant success, and the attendance large. Miss Beatrice selected piano numbers which showed her remarkable talent as a child pianist, and she reveled in niceties of delicate light and shade. This favor ite mood of hers was reflected in the "Les Deux Alonettes." by Leschetizsky. with which she began her programme, and she continued this thought in the fine senti ment with which she invested her Grieg and Chopin offerings. Naturally, the lit tle girl reserved her strength for the big "Uhapsodie Hongroise," by Liszt. the closing number of the, concert. This was played with a dash and brilliancy sur prising in one so. young as Rilss Beatrice is, only 11 years old. She was very cor dially received and. taken altogether, made a very favorable impression, on n scale commensurate with the expecta tions formed of her in advance. She has a decided future as a pianist. ::nd all her many friends hope that some day her fame in music will be National, and American at that. One of her encores was a selection from Scotsan-Clarke. Mrs. Bauer sang three favor!te songs, one by Sans-Soucl. and the others by Grieg and Mrs. Beach, selections which were Interpreted with fine vocal ism. Mrs. Reed's selections were from Ponchinelll, Plerne, and Chadwick. and each received an artistic setting. Mr. Zan's and Mr. Lind's numbers also found much favor. The duet jtt about the end ol the pro gramme. "Birds That Sang in May," written by Strelevkl. and sung excellently by Mrs. Bauer and Mrs. Reed, made the vocal hit of the occasion, and won an in sistent recall. Mr. Coursen was at all time's a good accompanist. BUYS BLOCK FOR $50,000 Syndicate Acquires Property in Xew Warehouse District.

Leaver, contralto, and P. B. Van Nice, baritone. The first number was the semi chorus, "List, the Cherubic Host," from Gaul's "Holy City," which was creditably rendered, and under the same head came the singing by an octet of Pinsuiti's "Good Night, Beloved," which received commendable attention in niceties of ex pression. All the young singers made good appearances and did credit to their teacher. Mr. Street announces that he will give a recital soon, and that he ex pects to leave the city next August for Europe.
