Y.M.C.A.MEN ACT Committee to Purge Public Mind of News' Attack. REAL TRUTH TO BE SHOWN Prominent Members of Organization Declare Pride In Institution Re mains and They Will De fend Its Good Name. Determined not to rest until every one In Oregon shall know that the good name of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association has not been tarnished by the unfounded at tacks made upon It by the Portland News, the directors of the T. M. C. A. yesterday appointed a committee that will take every possible step to 6ee that the facts are put In their true light. The committee Is comprised of the following well-known Portland cit izens: Walter A. Goss. E., B. Mac Naughton, Fletcher Linn, J. W. Ga nong. Dr. S. A. Brown, Maurice Wal ton and B. S. Huntington. Statements have already been 'made by Judge Gatens, of the Juvenile Court, and Chief Probation Officer White, not only exonerating the Y. M. C. A. from all blame in the affair that has grown out of the arrest of a number of men and boys, charging depraved practices, but commending its activity In start ing the Investigation that led to these arrests. The Y. M. C. A. directors. How ever, feel that the committee Just named was necessary to Inaugurate a campaign that will clearly demonstrate the infamy of the attacks made by the News The committee- takes the position that the campaign of the News Is not only directed at the Y. M. C. A., but at the decent citizens of Portland. It calls attention to the fact that the women of the city have been insulted by the sordid stories, printed with flaring headlines, and brought unavoidably to their attention on the public streets. The following statement was issued by the committee: , "The seven men whose names ap pear below have been appointed by the directors of the Young Men's Chris tian Association as a special commit tee to give out accurate Information concerning the attack made upon this association by the Portland News and to Inaugurate an active campaign In the Interests of public decency. "Statements have already been made by those In authority, namely, Judge Gatens, presiding officer of the Ju venile Court; Probation Officer White and the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A., which statements have ap peared In our public press and copies of which are attached hereto. "The members of this committee consider that, entirely apart from the injury to the Young Men's Christian Association, the besliming of our city with the vile falsehoods which have been published concerning one of its leading Institutions is a calamity against the effects of which every high-minded citizen ought to fight as. he would against the spread of a plague. The Insult to the good clti senshlp of Portland is not to be en dured. "The women and children of Port land have been called upon to hear lan guage upon our streets and In our public places which has been an Insult to our citizenship and to our manhood. "The duties of this committee will be to answer all Inquiry, to furnish satisfactory evidence, to co - operate with any and all efforts, either indi vidual or coming through other Port land or state-wide organizations, to defend our fair name and the decency of this community. "WALTER A. GOSS. "E. B. MAC NAUGHTON. "S. A. BROWN. "FLETCHER LINN. I "J. W. GANONG. "MAURICE WALTON. "B. S. HUNTINGTON. "Committee." Mr. Goss, chairman of the commit tee, held conferences with his associ ates Immediately after their appoint ment yesterday afternoon and discussed definite plans which they will consider In making their fight. "When money was raised for the present Y. M. C. A. building, I had the honor of being chairman of the 'Every body Gives Campaign' that completed the fund needed," said Mr. Goss. "I was proud of our success and of our organization, but I am even more proud of the Y. M. C. A. today and of the opportunity to fight in its behalf. Our committee was named to fight and we are going to fight. We are going to make a stand for decency In Port land and we know that we have the great body of citizens with us." SECRET 0F SUZANNE. Operatic Hit of Chicago and New York to Be Heard Here Wednesday. In this time of large orchestras and bizarre effects in music, it is difficult to be simple and effective, at the same time, a desideratum that has been achieved by Wolf-Ferrari in "The Secret of Suzanne," He has devised a score that utilized the orchestra of Mozart, giving color to melody, light and fascinating music of the old style perhaps, yet strangely new and win some In Its charm. From ths first joyous phrase of the overture until this phrase is reiterated fortissimo in the finale, as melody after melody streams out the hour a bit baleful for anger, clever for coquetry and sclntil lant for sentiment the music of this opera is as surprising as It Is change ful and satisfactory the quintessence of a great opera compressed in per fected form for superb resultant.
