4 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1914. GROCERS FROLIC AT ORPHEUM THEATER Portland Retail Association Members Hold Sway From Pit to Gallery. LOCAL HITS AUGMENT BILL "Performers Send Pertinent Shafts and Moving Picture Surrounded by Local Color Concludes Night's Kntertainment. Glooms, grief, groans and grouches took headlong flight lor a few hours lust night while the Portland Retail Grocers' Association held sway at the Orpheum. The house belonged to the members from pit to gallery and even the per formers did their share In special stunts toward the gaiety of a new wrinkle. In holding, the attention of the food dis tributers In other ways than through market quotations and an analysis of the law of supply and demand. In the first place It was a. good bill. In ths next place It was better than usual last night, because so many of the "gags" carried a double meaning, at least one definition being applicable to some feature of the "shop" category. Carrtllo Sends Shaft. "I'm going to save my money and buy en egg from Ian Kellaher," quoth Leo Carrillo, who does dialect. In the next breath he advised those of the audi ence interested In flying machines to buy their 1314 models at once, for, like jcrroceries, they were going up. He said he first ascended as a blrdman with "Bill" Greer. "Look at the sardines in the box," was another sprung, as every box was occupied and in front of each a neat prold sign announced the name of the firm represented .therein. "Three bot tles of cream," was a greeting from the stage to one group from a cream ery houso. After the regular bill a special mov ing picturo reel was shown, the scen ario being written by Miss Grace Ed monds, and the plot founded on local details, while the romance, as It con cerned well-known boosters of the as sociation, proved an immense hit. The scene opened at the office of Leo Merrick, secretary of the Oregon Mer chants' Association and of the Portland "Ketail Grocers' Association, In the Com mercial Club building. J. C. Mann Play Dd." ,T. C. Mann, vice-president of the as sociation, appeared as the father of Miss Kdmonds, they being on a visit to Portland from their fcappoose homo to purchase goods for the family store conducted there. Mr. Merrick appeared to be smitten with the attractive daugh ter of the Scappoose merchant, and made "eyes," but on being Introduced John E. Malley, president of the asso ciation, took the lead in her affections. An auto was called and the party started on a shopping tour, the car carrying them to Kenton, to wholesale grocery and commission houses, baking plants, soap works, broom works and various, other places where the mer chant was shown goods. The romantic climax took place on the dock of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, where Mr. Malley proposed, was ac cepted and the Scappoose denier did the "bless you. my children," stunt. Later the auto passed lines of auto trucks nnd wagons of dozens of firms and the bride and bridegroom were shown at home when Mayor an Mrs. Albee call. There were as many laughs accorded the "movies" as the regular bill fun sters drew. PLAYGROUNDS ARE LIKED Dr. C. J. Bushnell Says Children Are in Need of Exercise. To show the necessity of play grounds for children in the cities, the statement was made by Lr. C. J. Bush nel!, president of Pacific IT niversity, in a lecture at the Public Library last right on "Playgrounds and . Public Recreation," that in 1790 only about 3 per cent of the population of the Inited States lived in the .cities, and that in 1900 the percentage had in creased to 33 1-3. Dr. Bushnell said 1000 cities In the United States have playgrounds, and that 70 cities opened up playgrounds last year. New York, Chicago and Boston alone are spending about $20,- OOO.OBO each year in building and equip. tping-'1 playgrounds, he said. Another remarkable statement by Dr. Bushnell was that in the crowded districts of large cities, where the families of laboring: men are 'huddled together' the infant mortality is 55 per cent. The death rate in the homes of the rich is only one-third as large. Dr. Bushnell congratulated Portland on the splendid stand it had taken for public playgrounds. FALL AT AUTO SHOW KILLS Hay Richardson, Decorator, cnnibs to 60-Foot Plunge. Sue Falling 60 feet from a skylight at the Armory yesterday morning, where ttio was employed as a decorator by the Portland Automobile Trade Associa tion, Ray Richardson, 232 Washington street, died at Good Samaritan Hos pital shortly after 7 -o'clock last night, the result or internal injuries. Mr. Richardson was (hanging bunt ing over the display of automobiles and it is thought his foot slipped, pre clpitating him through a mesh of hunting on to ' a machine. The acci dent .occurred at 10:15 A. M., and when examined at the hospital he was found to be suffering from a broken leg and internal injuries. LIMIT PLACED ON BANKS Not More Than 6 Per Cent of Re serve Stock Is Order. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. It became Known today that the Federal reserve barrfe organization committee has de cided that no bank shall be allowed to take stock in the reserve bank in . its district amounting to more than per cent of its j.pita: and surplus. The law clearly says that a Na tioual bank cannot take less than 6 er cent, but it is not so plain that there is any limitation on the amoun above 6 per cent which might be sub scribed. LAND CASE tS EXPLAINED A. F. Flegel Says Title to Property Will Soon Be Settled. In preparation for the suit which -will settle title to property in Vpper Albina in the Proebstel donation land claim, valued at more than 11,000.000. A. F. Flegel addressed the plaintiffs In the case and others Interested last night at the hall on. Williams avenue and Ivy street, explaining the situa tion. He said that the trial will start next Monday morning In Judge McGinn's court, and would last some time, and announced that there are 135 plaintiffs in this case, although practically all owning property in the district are In terested. The land was handed down from Jacob Proebstel through his second wife. On the death of his. wife the estate was probated, sold and the pro ceeds turned over to the people who purported to be the heirs. But an other set of heirs was unearthed in Ireland by H. O. Proebstel, who ob tained from them quit-claim deeds, which he recorded in this county. Own ers of property found their holdings incumbered when they came to sell, and 18 months ago banded together to clear away this cloud, and the suit is the outcome. Mr. Flegel said that the decree in the case will settle the title to all the property In the district. The Proebstel Land Adjustment Company, said Mr. Flegel, had been charging owners f50 a lot to give quit-claim deeds to clear away the cloud. At the meeting a considerable sum of money was subscribed to defray the expenses of the trial. It is estimated about 400 property owners are directly interested in the outcome of the trial.

A motion was unanimously carried that J. D. Lee, president of the organi zation; A. L. Barbur and L. D. Mahone, shall .call upon the officers of all other societies and clubs, and ask them to join In the celebration. Rapid progress has been made by the Lincoln Memorial organization toward the completion of arrange ments for the occasion. The Armory was decided upon as being the only place large enough to house the crowd which it is expected will be present to hear the addresses of the afternoon, the chief one of which will be de livered by Guy C. H. Corliss. A feature reported last night by Mr. Barbur Is that the Portland Musicians' Union has voted to provide a band for the occasion. It had already been determined that the drum corps of the Scout Young Camp, Spanish War Veterans, will be present, and there will also be a quartet and other musical - features afternoon and evening. One of the features of the after noon is that many Grand Army of the Republic veterans and others who knew Lincoln personally will be pres ent and will talk briefly. Prizes for the best essays on Lin coln have been offered to the amount of $45, these being given by the Grand Army corps to the extent of J20; Wal- ace McCamant, 10; J. D. Lee, $5; A. L. Barbur, $5, and Melvin G. Winstock, $5. The prizes will be awarded at the afternoon meeting of the Lincoln cele bration by the judges. GERMAN SOCIETY ELECTS John Reisacher Retires as Head of Order After Long Term. The annual meeting of the General German Aid Society was held last evening at the old German school house, at Eleventh and Morrison streets.

In addition, it maintains the Altenhelm, which at present has 23 inmates.

RIVER WORK EXPECTED IMPROVEMEJfTS IN COLUMBIA MAY BE STARTED SOON. iMtructfona to Colonel McKJnatry In dicate That Officials See Need of Action Now. ow that Colonel McKlnstrv. in charge of the Government work at the mouth of the Columbia Rlvr- ban hn lrfstructed by the Board of Engineers ali Washington, D. C, to submit a re port on the advisability of appropri ating fi.&ov.ooo lor construction of dredge to be used in deepening the channel, it Is believed the river im provements for which the Portland Chamber of Commerce is conducting an active campaign will be greatly expe dited. Colonel McKinstry was a member of the Board of Army Engineers what made an investigation and submitted a re port on the mouth of the Columbia in 1903. Senator Lane's bill,, appropriating SI. 600,000 for this work, has been pend lng in Congress for several months. It now Is In the hands of the rivers and harbors committee. "Even if we get the appropriation from Congress within the least possible time required, said Joseph N. Teal, at torn p v for th Chamber of Commerce. last night, "it will take at least two years to build the dredge and have it ready for operation. We should all get together here and encourage Congress in the necessity of early action. Colonel McKinstry's Instructions came yesterday by telegraph. Indicating that the officials at Washington realize the importance of immediate action. This telegram came, however, after both Senator Lane and Senator Chamberlain had requested such action from the Board of Army Engineers. The Chamber of Commerce trustees met yesterday and sent telegrams of congratulation to the Oregon, benators. Francis Xavler Matthieu, Better. S. A.

Assistant Secretary of Treasury Backs Contention for Economy and Esti mate of "Extras" Is Ordered. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 2S. Senator Lane had a conference today with Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury Newton and the supervising architect, regarding plans of the Portland Postoffice building and again urged the Department to proceed with preparations of plans. The supervising architect renewed his plea that be must have more money before he can construct an adequate four-story building In Portland, but Secretary Newton agreed with Senator Lane's contention that Jl.000,000 ought to be ample to erect a building ade quate to meet Portland's needs. The supervising architect said the Govern ment required much more equipment in its buildings than required In private office buildings and it is these unusual requirements, such as air-washing ma chines, that add to the cost of Govern ment structures. Senator 'Lane Insisted that these "frills" could well be omitted and the money be spent oniy n essentials. Mr. Newton seemed of the same opinion. The Assistant Secretary Instructed the supervising architect to submit a complete list of all special equipment required in the Portland building, which the architect said would cost 1150,000, and when that Information is at hand. Secretary Newton and Senator Lane will undertake to eliminate all items that can be sacrificed without Impairing the usefulness of the building.

Sophia Strixner was granted 90 days In which to redeem her 100-acre ranch in Morrow County from a $600 mort gage by Judge Bean in United States District Court yesterday. It was shown to the court that she had given deeds to a friend, John W. Henry, conveying the land to him. but was unaware of their nature.

She brought suit, and Judge Bean ordered the man who foreclosed tho mortgage to return the property to her on payment of the money bor rowed by Henry, with interest from January 20, 1912.
