Fifty per cent reduction in the

the Pythian Home fund was advocated
by Benjamin Haverkamp, grand master
of the exchequer, in his annual report
There Is in the general fund only
$1177.69. It is said to be too small to
meet expenses the forthcoming year.
The Pythian Home fund, on the other
hand, has $11,131.03.
Disbursements of the lodge last year
amounted to $14,667.26. Receipts to
taled $26,875.98. A plan to increase the
general fund by cutting the percentage
turned into the home fund in half was
therefore suggested.

Alter Shooting, Jtrs. Poch, Says That

She Would Have Done So.
Testimony All In.
ALARQB attendance and pronounced
musical success marked the last
concert of the seaaon given last
night at the White Temple by the
Portland Oratorio Society; J. A- Fin
ley, conductor. The chorus numbered
about 60 voices, and sang- with enthu
siasm and fine precision and attack.
The soloists were Mrs. Elfrleda Heller
Weinstein, soprano; Richard Robert
son, tenor, and John Claire Montelth,
baritone, with Lowell Patton, organist
and piano accompanist, and Miss Car-
mel Sullivan, harpist.
The choral programme consisted or
oratorio, operatic and glee selections.
and its diversity and value were both
interesting features. Mrs. Weinstein
was in fine voice and in the arid from
Wolf Ferrari's "Jewels of the Madon
na" her vocaliBm was splendid. She
sang with a finished ease and good
voice control that more than pleased
her hearers. She was loudly encored
In her rendition of the Bach Gounod
'Ave Maria," with iarp obligato by
Miss Sullivan. Mrs. Weinstein sang
with impressive half voice or mezzo-
voce effect, and so finished was her
rendition of this favorite number that
the audience insisted on its repetition.
This was sung with the same success.
Mr. Montelth was heard in a group
of songs not universally-known in
this section. Gypsy songs written
by Lohr songs of sterling mu
sical value. but somber mo
tif and soul. They are "Wind on the
Heath." "Mother Dear," "Where My
Caravan lias Rested" and yhe Magpie
Is a Qypsy Bird." and each song is a
gem in Itself. The moods vary widely
and were cleverly sung by Mr. Mon
telth, who waa in excellent voice. For
his encores he sang "The Birth of the
Morn"- (Leon!) and "Guard While I
Sleep" (Warrington). Mr. Robertson
sang with a clarity and purity of tone
that made a most favorable impression.
In the choruses, the rendition of
Gounod's "Unfold Ye Portals" was the
best.

claring that the practice worked an Im
position upon the publio, l. ti. ajoDie,
a traveling salesman of Eugene, urged
the Railroad Commission today to put
an end to the custom of railways
charging passengers who lose checks
for baggage 50 cents for each one. Mr.

had to pay the Southern Pacifio 4.50.
He told the Commission that the chaTge
was an outrage and there could be no
reason for it being made.
The complaint was taken under ad'

forth will have to surrender baggage
