DOOM OF "RAGTIME" SEEN
Mention of Musk-nl Clubs Calls
for Some Form of Censorship of
Questionable Ballads New
Art Era Predicted.
CHICAGO. April !S. Lob Angeles was
selected today as the meeting place of
th i4is i-nnvrntlon or the aiiona'
-ration of Musical Clubs and Mrs.
'William Jamelson. who presented the
offer of the California city, was assured
that the federation would hold all its
hi.nniai conventions there if tr.e In
duceraents forthe 1915 meeting were
duplicated.
The 1jd Angeles Opera Association
has offered a prise of 110.000 for the
best American opera presented at the
1J15 meeting and promised to spend at
least JbO.000 In the entertainment of
delegates. Mrs. Jamelson said the 01
fer probably would be repeated every
four years, provided the federation did
not offer any other prize for American
operatic composition.
Priac for L.lbrr-to, Tee,
The Lakevlew Musical Club, of Chi
cago, offered a prise of $300 for the
best libretto for the opera selected as
winner of the Los Angeles prize. Dele
gates generally were enthusiastic after
these announcements and said the in
ducements to American composers and
writers contribute .incalculably to the
improvement of Ajnerlcan musical art.
Prophecies that 10 years would see
the extinction of Tag time" and that
half that time would witness music in
stalled as the most Influential subject
taught in the public schools were made
bv lllsa Constance Barlow Smith, of the
University of Illinois, at today's ses
sion. Her ideas were advanced in the
course of a discussion of a resolution
aimed at "smutty" aonas and intro
duced by Mrs. Ella May Smith, of
Pittsburg, chairman of the committee
on resolutions.
While not specifying any particular
action by the Federation, the resolu
tion called for some form of censorship
of questionable ballads.
Trashy Mule Alaraalna;.
-Americans have become alarmed at
the amount of trashy music which is
crowding their pianos. said Miss Bar
low Smith. "The greatest factor in in
rtalling better music will be the in
struction of school children, although
censorship by this association and Gov
ernment supervision of Indecent songs
sent through the malls will also be ex
cellent methods of fighting the evil.
"Tnrough the school children the Na
tion will return to the old folk and
nature songs. Today we stand on the
threshold of a new America, in wnicn
the arts will prevail to an extent that
will rival this phase of life in any na
tion on earth."
Mrs. Jason Walker. Memphis. Tenn
and Mrs. Francis F. Clark. Philadel
phia, agreed that it would be Impossi
ble for the Federation to establish a
National censorship of songs. They
suggested that committees be appoint
ed to influence municipal aumoriues.

a citizen of Massachusetts.
Charles F. Choate. who was present.
Immediately rose and said that he
would also appear as a citizen of Massa

Choate denied that he was in the em
ploy of any railway, whereupon David
E. Brown, the Government's account
ant, read copies of two vouchers show
ing that Choate had received $13,900
from the New Haven road for legal
services.

The examination of Accountant
Brown was then begun by Brandeis.
Figures read by Brown showed the
New Haven's advertising account in
cluded $92,000. paid to the Boston News
Bureau in December, January and Feb
ruary last. .
Another transaction disclosed by
Brown showed that in November. 1906.
the railroad placed $11,000,000 on de
posit with J. P. Morgan & Co. This
monev was remitted through the third
vice-president of the road, who noted:
"If any information is needed in the
matter, please consult with J. P. Mor
gan." Copies of correspondence between
President Mellen and Oakley Thome, of
New Tork. were read. One letter di
rected Thome to acquire per cent of
the stock of the projected Westchester
railroad. In another letter, marked

T do not want to go into the mar

"Yon are aware that our dealings
have been located dangerously near, in
the minds of some, to the enterprise
with which you are connected.- and It
would seem to me the part of prudence.
If the matter is to be kept quiet, that
the enterprise be further financed by
Its own Issue of securities."
Altogether the Westchester road cost
$33,000,000. or about tl. 600.000 a mile.
Brown said. . The reports for the first
two quarters showed that the road's
earnings were less than the operating
expenses.
two strong grounds of hope. One is the
fact that you have standing between
and detached from the large capitalists
and employers on the one hand and or
ganized labor on the other, a third body
of sensible and fair-minded citizens,
especially among your rural population,
persons who own the land they till
and the houses they live in.
, Middle Element Gives Strength.
"Such an element in a nation gives
It strength and stability and it is an
element larger here than anywhere else
In the world. The other fact Is that
the standard of civic duty among all
your citizens steadily is rising.
"We are all of us apt when we are
forming higher ideals to be more dis
satisfied than we are before with the
contrast between ideals and practice
But this Is no reason for despondency.
No country has shown greater powers
of overcoming difficulties and escaping
from dangers than America."
"Diplomatic Beverage Lacking-.
The Ambassador sat at the right of
Joseph H. Choate. former American
Ambassador to Great Britain, who Is
nresldent of the Pilgrims Society, and
acted as toastmaster tonight. At Mr.
Chonte's left was Walter Hlr.es Page,
present American Ambassador.
Mr. Choate began his speech with an
apology on behalf of .the dinner com
mittee.
"They have not furnished you with
that Improved Imperishable diplomatic
beverage that has Just been put for
ward." he said. "However, our commit
tee had no other thing to do. The news
of this new diplomatic beverage came
to us too late; only this morning we
heard of it from all papers learned
that the Department of State had pre
scribed this new beverage and learned
It was drunk in bumpers amid great
applause. I can promise Mr. Bryce
that he will have that when he comes
to the United States again and surely
he is coming again. We will give him
full bumpers of that new beverage and
he will find it a Joy that will live for
ever." Services Feelindy Praised.
Mr. Choate spoke of Mr. Bryce's work
as Ambassador. declaring he has
brought about a new feeling between
the two countries, "union of peace that
will secure the peace of the whole
world." The American people, he de
clared, will never tolerate any action
by the Government that will tend to
break the bond with Great Britain.
"We are terribly sorry to lose you,"
he said, turning to Mr. Bryce. "Great
Britain will send many Ambassadors
to this country, but there is only one
Bryce In the whole world. You have
made Americans from the Atlantic to
the Pacific love you."

OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU", Wash
ington. April 23. The Houe of Repre
sentatives will not consider equal suf
frage legislation during the present
special session, but when the regular
session opens next December, a host of
bills as well as resolutions proposing
amendments to the Federal Constitu
tion will be pressed for consideration.
The agitation for eqtfal suffrage has
reached a point where Congress must
take notice. .
Representative French, of Idaho, has
reintroduced his bill of last session, in
troduced at the Instance of Mrs. Clara
B. Colby, of Portland, which provides:
"Women who are citizens of the
United States and possess such qualifi
cations of age, residence, property or
education as may be required of men
to make them legal voters in the sev
eral states shall be eligible to register
land vote in all states of the union at
all elections for members of the House
of Representatives."
In view of the adoption of the Borah
amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion, providing for popular election ef
Senators, this bill, if reported, will be
amended to permit women to vote for
Senators as well as Representatives.
To grant universal suffrage, without
restriction, would, in all probability,
call for an amendment to the Consti
tution. However, the passage of a bill
such as Mr. French has introduced
would probably bring quicker results,
and as satisfactory results as a con
stitutional amendment, and for that
reason Mrs. Colby and her followers
prefer the French bill to a constitu
tional amendment resolution. They
argue that if Congress will grant to the
women of every state the right to vote
for Senators and Representatives, states
not having equal suffrage will be
quick to change their own laws or con
stitutions so that women may vote In
all elections, for once Congress ap
proves the right of women to vote for
Senators and Representatives. the
women will be In a position to demand
action at the hands of their State Leg
islatures and will be likely to accom
plish their purpose. ,
Rich Man Wanted In "White Slave'
Case Believed to Be Either In
Arizona or Nevada Home
Searched in Vain.
LOS ANGELES. April 25. George H.
Blxby, the Long Beach banker and
capitalist, wanted as a witness in the
county grand jury's white slavery in
vestigation, and for whom officers
have been sarching two days in an
effort to arrest him on a bench war
rant, will respond in court in person
Monday morning.
That announcement was made to
night after Chief of Police Sebastian
and Oscar Lawler, formerly assistant
Attorney-General in the Department of
the Interior at Washington, and now
acting in a legal capacity for Blxby
had a lengthy conference at the police
station.
Dlxby'a Whereabouts Secret.
Lawler declined to divulge the
whereabouts of his client, who was be
lieved to be either In Arizona or Ne
vada, but Chief Sebastian agreed to
Lawler's proposition to produce him
and let him personally respond in court
to the bench warrant and later to the
subpena summoning him to testify be
fore the grand jury.
The bench warrant was issued
Wednesday afternoon by Township
Justice Reeve when Bixby failed to
respond to a summons to appear as a
witness in the case of Mrs. Jessie Ros
enberg, proprietress of the Jonquil, a
pseudo hotel, who was charged with
procuring white slaves for wealthy
men.
Have Searched Twice.
Officers searched Bixby's Long Beach
home twice, but said they found noth
ing except evidences that the million
aire had made a hasty departure In an
automobile Monday afternoon.
Several witnesses, alleged white
slavers and panders, were called be
fore the grand Jury today. Among
them was Fred W. Lloyd, a private de
tective, who is said to have been em
ployed by suspected persons, and who
was with Katherlne Phillips just be
fore she vanished. Miss Phillips was
the girl who started the white slavery
Investigation after she had been ar
rested for alleged blackmail at the in
stance of Mr. Blxby.
SEATTLE ARRESTS J. A. HESS
Captured- Man Charged With Con.
ducting Girl From Los Angeles.
SEATTLE, Wash.. April 25. (Spe
cial.) The arrest of J. Archie Hess to
day on a charge of violating the white
slave provisions of the Interstate com
ruerce act in transporting Agnes Stew
art from Los Angeles to Seattle on May
5 last, resulted in considerable sup
pressed excitement in the Federal
building today, an almost all-oay con
ference following the capture of Hess,
which was conducted by an agent of
the Department of Justice, William R.
Bryon. The conference was attended
by Immigration Inspector Thomas
Fisher. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Crawford E. White. Dr. Mary E. Martin,
of the Juvenile Court; members of the
Seattle Police Department, besides L.
S. District Attorney Charles F. Riddeli
and Deputy United States Marshal Anderson.
It was announced that other arrests
might follow and that possibly a Se
attle connection to the Los Angeles
white .slave conspiracy would be un
earthed.
Telegrams were exchanged with Gov
ernment officials in Los Angeles dur
ing the day, but beyond the arrest of
Hess and the statement that charges
of contributing to the delinquency of
children were likely to be preferred
against others. Agent Bryon refused
to discuss the conference.
During the day the officials visited
an Eighth-avenue hotel, alleged to be
frequented by white slavers and minor
girls. The arrangements and appear
ance of the premises proved a shock
to the officers and when the party re
turned to the Federal building Deputy
Prosecutjng Attorney White was called
to the conference.
Agnes Stewart, 21 years old, held
as a witness, was closely questioned.
