Courts and Inflexibility of Constitution Decried. The seven oldest lawyers of Port f land from the standpoint of admission ' to the bar, three of whom were pres- ent in spirit but absent in person. ; however, were tiie guests of honor at the seventh annual banquet of the ; Multnomah Bar Association In the crystal banquet hall of the Oregon Ho ; tol last nilit. They are: Kichard , Williams. 1857; Rufus Mallory. I860: J. . H. Woodward, lSO: Cyrus A. Dolph, 1866: J. C. Moreland. 1867: P. U Willis. ; 1866. and H. H. Northup. I8S8, the dates being tne years they were admitted i to the bar. Messrs. Williams. Wood ' ward and Mallory were not there, but sent messages of regret because of ; their inability to be on hand. Speakers of the evening Included Judge Stephen J. Chadwick. of the Bu . preme Court of Washington; J. C. : Moreland, clerk of the Oregon Su , preme Court; Justice McTiride, of the , Oregon Supreme Court: George N. Da '. vis. Judue of the Multnomah County ! Circuit Court, and District Attorney ' Evans. C. E. S. Wood, who was to ' have spoken on the topic. "The Recall of After-Dinner Speakers." was absent on ; advice of his physician, he stated in a ; note explaining his failure to appear. "What we need is a reformatory I where young men may be sent and turned away from Idleness and vicious t ness and led Into the upward path, free ' from the degrading Influences of the ' ordinary penitentiary," said District : Attorney Kvans. i "After two or three convictions, when ;a defendant had demonstrated his in ; corrigiblllty, he should be sentenced to ; a really, truly penitentiary." ' LejcinlAtloa Paasloa Deerled. J Judge Stephen J. Chadwick devoted 'his speech largely to decrying what he ! termed the "passion for legislation" '.and tracing the growth of the police t power in law and the corresponding (decrease of the idea that the law must J protect Individualistic rights, no mat- ter how harmful or fatal to the best i interests of the many, at all costs. As instances of this he cited the pure ifood laws and Government control of the rate of common carriers. "The English common law principles solve all our problems," said Judge 'Chadwick. "yet we are constantly pass ing new statutes prepared In haste and 'passed without due consideration. The result is a constant agitation of the ; law and lot of Its security. Nine out of 10 bills are put through for selfish -purposes. A law which is not sustained 'by public sentiment is worse than no law. Lawmaking ta really a matter of .sentiment, but should be a scientific art. Law should be common sense in action. I "Our Constitntion is not sufficiently flexible. It should be little more than ja bill of rights. The public conscience may be wrong for a time but always 'rights itself. Anyway, we have found ways to get around its Inflexibility. Extension of the police power through ; court decisions practically has operated "to rewrite it." ; Hope that the workingman's com 'pensation act. by reducing appeals of : personal Injury cases, and the addition of two additional judges, who take their seats early in June, will operate to let the Supreme Court, which is now a year behind, catch up with its work -was expressed by Justice McBride. He urged that some way be found of lim iting the number of appeals, suggest ing on Intermediate court for the handling of small appeal rases or mak 'ing it impossible to appeal unless a sum of money of some consequence - were Involved. ' In conclusion the Judge asked his i hearers to think of the members of the Supreme Court as per the sentiment ex pressed In the epitaph on the tombstone of Alkali Ike. the Inscription on which read: "He done his d dest; angels ; could do no more." j "Of 45 members practicing In Port land when I was admitted only one, C. A.. Dolph. Is In active practice here now." said J C. Moreland. who was as. irn-H to -.It- reminiscences of the early days. "A few have passed away) -but the rest are beneath the sod. The -leader of the bar when I began to prac tice was David Logan, a son of Stephen T. Logan, once partner of Abraham Lin coin in Illinois. Others were Mitchell Dolph. Robert By bee. who was a Jus tice of the Peace; William Strong. W. W. Page and Lansing Stout. The Su preme Court consisted of R. P. Roise, ,1'. P. Prim, John Kelsey. W. W. t pton and Joseph G. Wilson. the Circuit JuJ;;ea cf the state. In 1SSS they sat 23 days and managed to finish up all their business in that time. Familiarity nretied. Judge Moreland recalied many Inci dents of early timrs. one being that aj Justice of the peace had "tipped" tiimi to demand a Jury, as lie had promised to decide a case against Jutise Mure land's client, on another occasion a! .Justice had gravely declared unconsti tutional a luw requiring a Justice to llve in the precinct in which he hold court. There were also interesting sidelights on famous early day cases and pioneer lawyers. Judge Davis decried the tendency of attorneys to be too familiar with the court and explained that the reason he requires strict decorum and the ob servance of all the little niceties in his department is because the Judge j on the bench represents the majesty or the law. proper respect of tiie court on the part of an attorney does more than anything else to Impress a lay man spectator with the dignity of ju dicial provce.iirirs. he declared.

Wolf-Ferrari Blends Genius of Ger mans and Italians In Production or Great Opera. "The Jewels or the Madonna," the sensationally celebrated opera by Er manno Wolf-Farrarl. which will be pro duced here by the Chicago Grand Opera Company Monday. March 31. Is probably the most widely discussed operatic work of modern times. It easily comes within the middle path blazed by the classic and modern operas, and its score posesses the melodious fluency of Mo zart, wedded to the orchestral tonality and strength of Wagner. It is a perfect blending of the two schools and in Its musical scope reaches the taste of all the devotees of the various so-called svstcms of composition.

PERRY GRIFFIN RETURNS Absent 25 Years, Pioneer Railroad Man Finds Few Old Associates. . piti Oriffin. one of Portland's early-day railroad men. returned to the city yesterday, after an absence of 25 years.

Charlton, of tha North ern Pacific who Is" temporarily absent in Chicago; George Taylor, formerly of the Soo Line, who has retired to his farm, and "Mike" Roche, who is 111 at the hospital. When he was in Portland Mr. Griffin was agent for the Chicago & North western. The office then was at First and Oak streets, in a frame shack. The frame buildings were all ardund. By a strange coincidence the present agent of the Northwestern line is a man of the same name E. C. Griffin. Most of the time since leaving Port land Mr. Griffin has resided in Phila delphia and other Eastern cities. He is making a tour of the Coast now and probably will come here soon to remain permanently. "W hen I came to Portland the first time I didn't think it was much of a blace." he said yesterday, but as soon as I got awav from it I found that it wasn t such a bad town alter an. it seems that I never learned to appreci ate Portland until after I got away and couldn't come back." In his early days Mr. Griffin was as sociated with A. L.. Maxwell, who Is now retired and lives here. The two used to hustle baggage In Kansas City and came to Portland together. VOTERS HEAR LOMBARD COMMISSION GOVERNMENT EX PLAINED AT ROSSMERE. Republican Mayoralty Candidate Favors Proposed Charter and Urges Good Officers. Gay Lombard, Republican candidate for Mayor, last night talked for an hour on commission government to an audience composed of men and women, members of the Rossmere Improvement Club, In the Presbyterian Church at East Forty-fifth street and Sandy boulevard. He also answered questions put to him by those present. Mr. Lombard declared that he is In favor of commission government and that he hoped the proposed charter will be adopted May 3, but he Insisted that it is more the men who are elected to the offices who make or fail to make good government than it is the form of charter. He sounded a warning against expecting more from commis sion government than of tha present form, unless the officials elected to operate it are better than those now serving the city. "I do not recommend the commission charter as a cure-all," said Mr. Lom bard. "I recommend It as a stepping stone to better government, but I earnestly urge the voters to give serious consideration to the officials they elect. If the voters put In good officials, they will have much better results under commission government than under the present charter; If they neglect to put in good officials. It may be worse, "As far as I am concerned," Mr. Lom bard declared, "I want good govern ment more than I want office. I am trying to tell the voters what the commission government is and about the provisions of the proposed com mission charter." Mr. Lombard recommended the pass age of a bond Issue of $100,000 or so for the construction of another garbage crematory, saying that it is absolutely essential that some better means of caring for the city's garbage be had. The present crematory, he said, is rapidly being damaged by over work, and should be repaired soon, and this, he pointed out, cannot be done unless there Is another lnclnerater to use meanwhile. Even with the present burner working full capacity, he showed, another is necessary, as the city produces about 100 tons dally more than the amount consumed. H. F. Adams, president of the club, presided. GROCER IS EASY VICTIM Pennsylvania Wizard Plucks Hard Boiled Member From Egg Pile. E. "W. Mosher, he of the Pennsyl vania Railroad office, is quite a Joke eater. The other day he thought that he would have some fun with his friend, a grocer. They had been col oring Easter eggs at the Mosher borne, so "Mose" slipped one of the hard boiled articles, sans coloring, into his pocket. Soon he hied himself to the grocery. Passing by the egg basket he quietly took the egg from his pocket, and, un observed by anyone, placed it on top of the heap. Presently he called the grocer's at tention to the eggs. "Hey, what are you selling hard boiled eggs for?" Mosher Inquired. "Those eggs are not hard boiled. They are strictly fresh," the grocer in dignantly replied. "Well, don't you think I can tell a hard-boiled egg when I see it?" Mosher shpt back. "I'll bet you the cigars those eggs are not hard boiled." That was just what Mosher wanted. The bet was made and Mosher, who all the time had kept one eye on the exact egg he had placed in the bas ket, reached over, picked It up and be fore the astonished eyes of his grocer friend opened it, disclosing its solid contents. Mosher merrily walked out puffing his cigar. OPERA LIBRETTOS HERE Booklets of Stories to Be Sung Next Week Arrive in Portland. The eagerly awaited librettos of the various operas which will be presented at the Orpheum Theater next week have at last arrived, and are on sale at the Sherman-Clay store, and at the Steers-Coman offices In the Columbia building. Perhaps the most anxiously antici pated opera to be given during the sea son of three days is the "Jewels of the Madonna," which has been selected on i account of Its charming music and i wonderfully tragic and Interesting! story, as the opening bill for the Chi cago Grand Opera Company, and the principal role will be sung by Mme. Carolina White, who originated It in Chicago last season. The opera Itself was such a tremendous success In Europe last season that the rights of presentation In this country were eagerly sought for, and finally secured over all competitors by Andreas Dippel. The sale of seats for the entire sea son is on at the Sherman, Clay & Com pany store. Sixth and Morrison streets, and It is amusing to stand near and hear nearly everyone of the buyers designate their preference for seats, not by the evening of the performance out, for instance, by "The Jewels," as the demand for the seats for the open ing night is remarkable. BEETHOVEN MUSIC SUNDAY Symphony Written After Composer Became Deaf Scheduled.

In pure lyric . form It expresses in matchless beauty the spiritual tri umph, the conquering of self, tne ris ing to divine heights from the very uttermost depths of despair. The larghetto movement Is held to be one of the most beautiful slow movements Beethoven ever composed. The melody Is in the nature of a folk song, the movement being a dialogue between the woodwinds with striking passages for the French horns. All four movements will be played by the orchestra under the direction of George Jeffery, the concert being the sixth and last in the season's ser ies.
