M. to 12 CONVENTION Promotion Bureau Finds It Cannot Hold Ont Truthful Inducements Until Accommodations Can Be Assured Visitors. Efforts on the part of the Conven tlon Committee In the Promotion Bur eau of the Portland Commercial Club, to secure meetings of national conven tions for Portland have been discon tinued until the Municipal Auditorium situation shall be cleared, according to J. J. Sayer, who has handled most of the work of that committee since R. W. Raymond resigned from the Promotion Bureau. In 1911 three great national gather ings were held In Portland, the Wool growers' National Association, the National Conference of the Christian Church and the National Convention of the Rotary Club. Especially in the Christian Church conference, the in adequacy of the assembly halls afford ed in Portland was demonstrated and throughout the convention three dif ferent churches were required to house the crowds and overflow meetings were the rule. At that time, it was thought that the municipal auditorium would be completed before the Summer of 1912. Overflow Meetings Result. The Elks' National Convention and the W. C. T. U. National Convention were held this year and the audi torium being still no nearer com pletion than It had been a year before, when the commission be gan considering a site, the crowds at both of these conventions were housed with difficulty In the halls offered them. This was particularly true of the W. C. T. U. Convention, which was filled with overflow meet ing from the very beginning. Th Elks used the armory, which barelj accommodated the regularly accredited delegates and was not large enough to house the great crowds at the general meetings. The Second "World's Christian Citi senship Conference, which will be held in Portland June 29 to July S, was se cured for this city chiefly through the promise held forth of plenty of room In the proposed municipal auditorium. When It became evident that the audi torlum was to be still further delayed and could not possibly be In readiness for the conference, the Convention Bureau wrote the management of th conference suggesting that the plan of holding It in Portland be abandoned on account of the lack of a suitable assembly hall. For a long time the matter was unsettled, but since much advertising of the conference had al ready gone out. naming Portland as th convention city, it was decided to hold It here and make the best of the con dltions as they are. Portland Grows In Favor. "Our list of minor conventions are steadily increasing, says Mr. Sayer, "and Portland is becoming a favorite city for such assemblies, but since our experiences with former national con ventions. It has been decided that It is not wise to seek to bring any more great National gatherings here until we are able to accommodate them. "As for the municipal auditorium,' he continued, "I think that the com mission might well proceed at once to the selection of a site and begin con structlon. If the funds on hand prove insufficient, they can call upon the people once more when they are ex hausted. and I do not believe that they will experience any difficulty in se curing what they need, once the people become convinced that they mean bust ness and that we are to have a really creditable auditorium. Personally I am in favor of the exposition building block as a site, owing to Its central location and its agreement with the Greater Portland Plans." T. B. Wilcox, chairman of the audi torium commission, declared yesterday that the commission will not proceed to procure a site and begin work until sufficient funds are at hand to carry the work to a satisfactory end. He said: Mere Opera Ilonse Opposed. "The $600,000 was voted to build an auditorium itself and we will not spoil the building by using part of the fund to buy a site. Without money It is out of the question to consider any of the sites suggested. So far as 1 am concerned. I will take whatever blame Is forthcoming for delay, but I will not be a party '"f "squandering the public money for a worthless build' ing. "Better delay construction for a year or two or until another election, than erect a building that will be valueless for auditorium purposes. We will not build a mere 'opera house'.' Mr. Wilcox yesterday forwarded a communication to Architect Friedland er in New York asking him to come to Portland as soon as possible to loon over sites proposed for the new audi torium building. It is the plan to have the architect look over all the sites proposed to make a recommendation as to the one most suitable for the building. It la not thought he will be able to come to Portland this month owing to business which he Is known to have in the East. Ill II III III Nil Mill VV7 .- - B r M FEDERAL JURY SWORN IN Two Women Summoned on Venire and Several Could Xot Be Located. When the Tnlted States grand Jury was sworn In yesterday and had re reived Its formal charge from United States District Judge Bean, the court announced that it would continue in session until the March term, although It might have to work only a few days each week. The purpose of this order. It was ex plained, would facilitate the business of the court and would not compel those unable to furnish bail to remain In jail an unnecessary length of time. A special venire of 35 were summoned to serve on this grand Jury, but out of the number two were found to have been women, A. Donovan, 420 Wasco street, and A. D. Miller. Cleone. One was dead and United States Marshal Scott could not find others at the ad dresses given. Louis G. Brasen, who told the court that he had lived in Portland 41 years and never had been summoned on a jury before, was excused for sickness. The Federal grand jury, as sworn in, is composed of the following: Captain George Pope, foreman; G. Agostl, A. C. Bancroft A. E. Digman. A. G. DIx, J. L. Duffleld, L. A. Jacobson, Philip P. Matthews.

The story and music of the "Secret of Suzanne" make up an opera, brief, brilliant and delightfully to the point,- by Ernano Wolfe Fer rari, considered to be one of the greatest of modern composers. . It is to be sung at the Bungalow Theater, tomorrow,. Wednesday after noon and night. The story Is taken from the French of Enrico Gol iscianti. and there are three characters Count, Gil, the countess Su zanne, his wife, and a servant, Sante, who Is dumb. After the beau tiful overture, the Count enters, and smelling cigarette smoke, and not being a "smoker himself, his suspicions are aroused. The serv ant is questioned and he tells the Count by gestures that he does not smoke. .The Countess enters and-, she and- the- Count- have a love scene, but the odor of tobacco smoke on the wife's gown sends cupid fleeing. The Count asks his wife if she does not have a secret and she admits she has. Now, the Count is certain that there is another man in the case and he goes in a rage and smashes the fur niture. Weeping, the Countess leaves the room and the Count is in despair. Then comes a lovely orchestral interlude, matched only by the intermezzo of Cavalleria Rusticana. When the wife returns the Count prepares to leave, the Countess gives him hat and gloves and he goes off in a huff. As soon as he Is gone the Countess lights a cigarette but her pastime is interrupted by the Count's sudden re turn. Quickly she drops the cigarette Into the fire. The count in fury, thinks he has his man now and he rushes savagely about the room. Ultimately, the amusing Incident is explained to the satisfac tion of both husband and wife.

JOINT MEET THIS WEEK BIG GATHERING ASSURED AT MOXTESAXO. Proposal Is to Work on Improvement of Roads Which Will Be of - Statewide Benefit. MONTESANO, Wash.. Nov. 18. (Spe claX) The 10th quarterly congress of the Southwestern "Washington Devel opment Association, in Joint meeting: with the Olympic Peninsula Develop ment Leasrue which will be held at Montesano next Friday and . Saturday, promises to be one of the most lm portant ratheringrs in the history of these bodies. The principal subjects scheduled for discussion are "Highway Legislation" and "Legislation to En courage Agricultural Development," in eluding In their ramifications the many phases of the problems providing- ior state industrial highways and liberal levies for these, roads. Each of the 10 counties comprising the league of the Southwestern wash lngton Association will be well repre sented, and each county will send men Instructed to work together toward the development of roads Intended to bene fit the entire state, and not for the sole benefit of one locality, as has been the policy in the past. It is now real ized that it is difficult to accomplish much good unless this is done. The following slogan, adopted re cently by the Southwestern Washing ton Development Association, aptly conveys the attitude of this body on the road question: "A liberal state highway levy to aid in the construc tion of permanent highways through agricultural districts between trade centers and in building into . unde veloped agricultural districts liberal appropriations for bridges and dlffl cult construction on low-grade trunk roads, the National Government to as sume responsibility of constructing needed highways within untaxable Na tional reserves. Road legislation on merits of measures. No pork barrels and no tie-ups with unrelated bills. To N. B. Coffman, of Chehalis. presi dent of the Association, is due prac tically all the credit for the successful frameup of the approaching congress. Mr. Coffman, who has always devoted a good share of his busy life to the Interests of the state, has given this meeting much publicity, and a large at tendance is guaranteed. Local arrange ments, including entertainment and the programme, are in the hands of County Vice-President J. E. Calder, of this city. Mr. Calder Is working overtime In order to have everything in readi ness by the time the meeting opens. PERSONAL MENTION." L. R. M. Pierce, a Salem merchant. Is at the Oregon. Judge W. A.

Ryan Are Mentioned as Candidates. . As far as the Portland Postmaster- ship is concerned, Democrats, impatient to partake of the Federal pie. are not waiting to see whether National Com mitteeman Williams and Senator Bourne agree on a Republican for this J6000 plum, but are pressing their claims for the place. Most recent of the aspirants to this appointment Is W. A. Munly, of this city. Mr. Munly has always been a Democrat, was private secretary for eight years to Governor Pennoyer, assistant Postmaster under the administration of that office by Eugene Protzman and at one time edited a Democratic newspaper in Portland. He has invariably assisted to campaign the state for the Demo cratic ticket. His friends point to the fact that he took the stump for both Senator Chamberlain and Senetor-elect Lane, to whom he muBt appeal for the appointment. Other Democratic candidates for the Job Include Nathan A. Ambrose, Alex Sweek, who would be satisfied if given Collector of Internal Revenue, and John B. Ryan, ex-secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee. Mr. Ryan's friends deny that he is ac tively a candidate for Postmaster, but they will ask that he receive eithei this berth or that of Collector of Cus toms. For the latter position Milton A. Miller, of Linn County, is an avowe candidate. charge for mileage in serving papers. The Malarkey publlo service bill, which was ratified by thd voters of tno state November 6, Is responsible for the trou ble. It provides that no person not employed by the company may ride free. Before it became law the Sher iffs and Constable's deputies were al lowed to ride free on exhibiting their stars. - Carfare' Issue Arrives. The County Court has addressed a communication to the District Attor ney asking for his opinion as to whether the county can be charged with money expended for streetcar fares by the Sheriff's deputies and Contsable's deputies in serving legal papers.

Interpretation of the ordinance pro vision, forbidding the use of stairways communicating with barrooms, was widened in Municipal Court yesterday when Erail Lind, proprietor of a saloon at Sixteenth and Savier streets, was fined $100 for maintaining a passage from his place of business to the rooms overhead. The fact that the stairway was one leading direct from the street, with an additional door out of the bar room, made no difference, the court held. Lind was- convicted as much on his bad record and the character of his sa loon as on the facts at Issue. It was shown that he had served 80 days for disorderly conduct, that a girl 16 years old had been taken out of the over head room by Sergeant Roberts and that there had been many disorderly occurrences In the place, for one of which, a stabbing affray, the assailant Is now serving time.
