A canvass of the vote of the linemen and swltchboardmen of the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company on the subject of accepting the scale of $3.75 a day for another year will be made at San Francisco tonight. It is be lieved that the vote has been decided ly against renewing the scale at that figure. . It ia not probable, however, that the The scale of $3.75 covers an eight hour day. The men are paid double time for over time, Sundays and noil days. Tomorrow being a legal holiday all linemen who work will be paid $7.50 Instead of the usual $3. .a. Linemen alpo have a chance to advance to the position of assistant foreman which Days $4.25 a day. Foremen, who also are recruited from the ranks, receive $125 a month.

It Is be lieved, would cause only a small per centage of them to leave their work. MUSICIANS NOT PLEASED AUDITORIUM) PLAXS CRITICISED . AT MEETING. After Declaring Building, as Xow Designed, Adapted for Horse Show, Change Is Suggested. That the new civic auditorium to be erected at a cost of $600,000 should have an Inclined floor and that the stage should be better adapted for the in stallation of the pipe organ, and more conveniently arranged for concerts, were the principal suggestions reached yesterday afternoon at a meeting held at the Portland Hotel, of the Profes sional Music Teachers' Club, of this city. The plans now before the Auditorium Commission call for arrangements of a building more suited to a horse or auto show than a concert, in the opin ion of the musicians. W. Gif ford Nash, president of the club, presided over the delibertlons, the otner officers being Frederick W. Good rich, vice-president. Dr. Emil Enna, secretary, and Carl Denton, treasurer. The other members present were: Wil liam II. Boyer, William Mansell Wilder, Harold Bayley. William Wallace Gra ham. John Claire Montelth. John Ross Fargo, F. G. Elchenlaub. R. E. Millard, W. Trayl, M. A. Salllnger. G. L. Gerrlt- sen, Daniel H. Wilson, and others. Hy Liiers was present as an invited guest. Regret was expressed when It be came known that the floor of the audi torium must, according to city ordi nances, be formed of concrete. "That will kill our efforts to get an auditorium floor on the inclined plane or terraced, so that audiences can see what is being done on the stage," com plained one member. "That a so." came the chorus. "The plans now under consideration by the commission provide that the pipe organ shall be located at one end of the stage and a rehearsal, room at the other end," said Mr. Nash. "The pipe organ should be built In the center of the rear part of the stage," said another speaker. "The plans of the auditorium now submitted and before the City Council which is preparing to issue the first installment of the bonds are no improvement over the County Armory, for musical pur poses. It was ultimately decided that the club's committee request that the auditorium floor be inclined, as the principal and most regular Income to be derived from a city auditorium is through music festivals, miscellaneous concerts, organ recitals, and sym phony or oratorio concerts, at a mini mum price of udmisslon," that the pipe organ ought to be built in the center portion of the stage at the rear, and that the club petition the audi torium commission and the City Coun cil to take these recommendations into consideration before any bonds are is sued or money spent. This latter com mittee is composed of F. vv . Goodrich, J. C. Monteith and F. G. Elchenlaub. DANCING ACT ...... .. A J .... re-Moi"" v. . GENEK.

Severe fighting has occurred in the attempt' of the Montenegrins to capture Scutari. The Montenegrins are reported to have taken Bardanjoli Hill, . one of the strategical positions, but at a cost of 2500 men killed and wounaea. im same dispatches place the Turkish loss at 4000 men. The Montenegrin army besieging the Turkish fortress of Scutari carried the great Bardanjoli Hill by assault at 10:30 this morning, alter several nours of se-verefighting. The infantry came to such close quarters that hand-to-hand fighting was general along the line. Bardanjoli Hill dominates Scutari from the eastern side, and the Mon tenegrins are mounting siege- guns on the heights to bombard the principal points of the city. Fighting continued all day all around the city, the Turkish defenders disput ing the ground wit'.i fierce determina tion. A Montenegrin attack on the heights of Tarabosch, which dominates Scutari on the west, has been going on for three days. This onslaught is believed to have been as sanguinary as the en gagement at Bardanjoli. Thousands of fresh troops have been arriving at Constantinople from Ana .tolla, and in the last few days several troop ships have sailed, but their des tination has not been divulged. There are signs that the Porte realizes the hopelessness of the situa tion and is preparing the way to leave the fate of Turkey in the hands of Eu rope to obtain the best possible settle ment. Although It Is officially denied that Hakki Pasha has been sent on a peace mission to London, there is little doubt here that that Is his object.

Tomorrow . there will be manv where today there are few. It is a good business, interesting in the extreme, a new business with the pioneering element left out, profitable, and with a future as wide as the horizon. For every four horses in this city some day there will be a motor truck and not far distant. .Today there are over 1000 horses to each motor truck. Someone is going to sell these trucks, create a handsome business and become a force in the community.

STARVATIOX DEEMED CAUSE Friend of Scolt' Believes Blizzard Merely Incidental. LIVERPOOL, Feb. 10. Dr. Louis Charles Bernacchl, who was with Cap tain Scott in the discovery Antarctic expedition, said tonight regarding the death of his chief: "It is improbable that a blizzard was the real cause of the disaster to Scott's expedition It seems probable that Cap tain Scott, in his endeavor to reach the Pole before Amundsen, cut things too fine in the matter of food. My opinion Is that the party died from starvation, but that the blizzard proved the crown ing catastrophe." Pliotographer Believed Safe. BERKELEY. Cal.. Feb. 10. H. G.

Captain Roald Amundsen forgot his own dis tinction as discoverer of the South Pole tonight in expressing his pro found grief over the tragic fate of Captain Robert F. Scott in Antarctic seas.

' Seattle Mystery unsolved Because "Firm" Is Missing and Others Don't Want to Talk. Why everyone connected with the Oregon Sales Company, on whose let terhead paper was written a letter which was found on the person of the dead girl, should be mysteriously ao sent from the place of business yester day, while others refused to divulge even the most commonplace facts re garding them, Is a question which Cap tain Baty set Detectives Tlchenor and Abbott to answer yesterday.

"Who are the members of the com pany?" "I don't want to tell; I don't want to bo mixed up in it."
