TIIR MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 31, 1914- EARLIER BUSINESS DAYS ARE RE-LIVED Pioneer Navigators of Port land Trade Channels Are Merry at Lang Syne Feast. DINERS TELL EXPERIENCES Clearing of Washington Street" One Speaker's Keinlniscence An other Recall Losing Way Where l-'lr&t Street Is 'ov. Memories of the days when Washing ton street was a mere trail through a w ilderness, when First street was an exclusive residence district, when ferry-boats crossed the river and when the only method of transportation to distant points was by steamers were recalled at the Multnomah Hotel last Bight when the "Lang Syne" society, composed of men who "lived or were in business in Portland before the year 1891." gathered for Its first formal dinner. The attendance and enthusiasm ex ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the newly-formed society's officers. Frank Dayton, secretary-treasurer of the organization, arranged most of the details for the meeting. . The dining-room at the Multnomah last night contained pictures of early day scenes In Portland, loaned for the occasion by George II. Himes, of the Oregon Historical Society. Friendship la OIH. The object of the organization Is to cement a friendship among the pioneer business residents and - to preserve memories of the early days. J. K. Gill, president of the society, referred to many of those who sat about the tables as among the men prominent in early-day affairs. He also played a "fiddle" solo. Judge M. C. George, who said he has lived in Portland 40 years, was toast mtster. "I am glad to see us old fellows get together," said Judge George. "Most of the time when I go to a banquet these days I have to be introduced to nearly every one present. Here to night I can take every man by the hand and say that I know him." Frank Dayton told, of the purposes of the organization. "Often and often, as I have looked back on my business career in this city," he said, "my thoughts have been filled with a flood of happy memories, and each time I have wished that these memories could live again and become real. Birth of Idea Told. "So the Idea came to me that the only way that this could be done would be by renewing as nearly as possible all the old friendships, and it seemed to mo that an association formed with this idea In view would enable all of us to mingle together on the basis of an old and bappy acquaintanceship." . Dr. Norrls R. Cox was on the pro gramme for a song, .which he sang. Charles H. Dodd re'ferred to many of the early-day business men. and the part that they have taken la the de velopment of Portland. George M. Hyland told of '-cleaning Washington street" and other early-day ciueveienTS.- Thdmas M. McCusker told a number, of. good stories some of them at the expense of. some of the men at the ban quet. HJs account or a war of words engaged in with H. C. Campbell when Mr. McCusker was a freight agent for the gouthern Pacific was much enjoyed, especially by Mr. Campbell. J. H. Ames entertained with a good tory. ' . John Gill sang a solo and had to re spond to an encore. "General" David M. Dunne, as he was called by the toastmaster, declared the meeting one of the "best things ever attempted in Portland," and proposed a monument to Frank Dayton "but not soon, i hope. First Street Wlldermeas. Frederick V. Holman also was in tory-telling mood. He told how he got lost on one-occasion In. the woods where now Is the corner of First and Washington streets. H. B. Bartlett told how George Weid- icr once tnreatened to throw Ben Holla day, his employer, into the river: AVhltney Boise reviewed briefly the aavancement made by Portland since tie came' here. ..... Horace D. Ramsdell called for a full measure of credit to "the girls" who shared the burdens and responsibilltes or tne pioneer development. John W. Minto. who claimed the dis tinction of being the oldest native born tnegonlan present, told of his experi ences or tne early 5U s. ; Judge W. M. Cake declared that it will be a long time before other names become as prominent and fixed in. the public mind like those of the firms In business when he came here in 1886, The meeting closed by singing "Auld j-angayne.

LIKE ANIMATED PICTURE IS PETITE PRIMA DONNA Bessie Abott, Surrounded by Family of Artists and One in Her Own Right Puts O. K. on So-Called Artistic Temperament. BY LEONE CASS BAKR. WIFE to Waldo Story, sculptor; sister-in-law to Julian Story, fa mous as a portrait painter (and once as the husband of Emma Fames), and of quite some importance on her own recognition as a metropolitan opera star, is Bessie Abott. She is visiting Portland in the guise or Maid Marian at the-Heilig. When I called on the petite prima donna yesterday in her apartments at the Benson, she was entertaining Mrs. H. D. Green, whose niece, the Princess Somebody (with a nace I couldn't pos sibly spell) and the Storys are life long friends. The Storys live In Rome most of the time and Mrs. Green has often vis ited her relatives there, and so it was Into a conversation of soft blue Italian skies, sun-kissed hills, purpling vine yards and artistic reminiscences that I dropped. Or shall we say ascended, since I had just come from hearing a spinster prat tle about eugenics? My knowledge of Italy being; con fined to what I had gleaned from my geography several years ago. and a not what you would call close under standing with- a peanut vendor on the corner, the conversation Just naturally switched itself into other channels. Star Is American-Born. First you must know that she is American-born, and a Southerner of the fine old Virginian name of Pick ens. The Abott is a middle name and also a family heirloom. The rather saccharine .and sweetly simple little name of Bessie she was given to make her rhyme with her twin sister Jessie. They rhyme only in name, however, for Jessie is as blonde as the fairest of Laura Jean Libbey's heroines and Bes sie is piquant, dark and vivacious. "Bessie doesn't suit you," I hazarded. . "Oh, it could have been much worse," she smiled radiantly; "for Instance, there's Nell and Belle, or Annie and Fannie, or Cora and Dora," She rattled off down the alphabet. Mrs. Green suggested Ola and Pianola and we res urrected that old story of Kate and Duplicate before we all finally agreed that after all It is rather distinctive to keep one's own little name in grand opera. She could have made it Bessa lina or Bessye. Quite naturally the subject of artis tic temperaments came up, suggested probably by the fact that Waldo Story, the prima donna's husband, does not like to see his name on anything but checks, or maybe the doorplate or in the telephone book. For nearly three years these two kept their marriage a secret, because Mr. Story could not see inai tne world had any business to he interested in his personal life. Only imu years ago mey announced it. just tninK or all the good legiti uittie auverLising ne lets go to waste, I cried, thinking- of a dozen actresses who would give their eye teeth for such a chance to splash around In print. "Well lt'S no DOSe With Mr. Stnrv replied his attractive wife, "He made perfectly wonderful baa relief of m to use In the opera 'Ysobel' when I con templated going into It, and he never ven put nis initials on the work." fcucn modesty in mere man is bevond me. 'Does Mr. Story accompanv von nn tours," I asked. "Yes. he is with me constantly when work and when he goes to his studio EXHIBIT PLANS BEGIN Superintendent Churchill to Make 1915 School Display. FIRST PLACE HELD LIKELY Oregon. Panama-Pacific Exposition Commission Assigns Department Work and Steps to Get Student Co-operation. Are Taken. SALEM, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) In announcing today that the Oregon Panama-Pacific Exposition Commission had assigned to his department the preparation and collecting of the school exhibit of the state for the exposition. Superintendent of Public Instruction Churchill said no effort or reasonable expense would be spared to place Ore gon in the forefront of state exhibitors in the educational line. In fact. Mr. Churchill intimated that he believed the state had a chance of carrying off nrst honors and if it did not it would not be through a lack of effort and study on the part of the department. Realizing that systematic work must be done in order to accomplish tne best results, Mr. Churchill has ap pointed Assistant superintendent of Public Instruction Carleton director of the work of preparing and gathering the exhibit. Mr. Carleton has had charge of the industrial school ex hibits at the State Fair for a number of years and thoroughly understands what must be done. The preliminary work has been started and Messrs, Churchill and Carleton will decide in a short time Just how the exhibit will be presented. 'We were before the commission In Portland last - Saturday," said Mr. Churchill, "and we were assured that we would have sufficient funds from the exposition appropriation to make a fine showing. It is our intention to have all the educational features of the state represented. The schools of tha state will provide all the furniture for the Oregon building. It will be made oy the pupils. We are planning to have the educational exhibit of tha state in the Palace of Education, but it may be there will not be enough space for it there. In that event we shall have it In the Oregon building. "There are 133,000 school children in Oregon and there is no question that tney will make a fine showing at the exposition. We have Just one year in which to prepare, collect and arrange the exhibit, which will give ample time to make the best showing." Singing of Clara Butt Is Treat of Lifetime. Voice Is Wonder nod Title of Great eat Contralto Is fiat Incorrectly Given, Says Joseph M. Qnentln. BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. I T WAS one of the rare experiences of a musical lifetime to hear Clara Butt, owner of a deep, mellow, glor ious contralto . voice, sing. Such a singing voice as sne nas comes as a wonder. It is more like a deep pipe organ stop speaking than a human voice in song. People praise Clara Butt ss being the greatest contralto I I - - ' Z I 1 ! f .' JUKI'- - f I L . i -i I s ' 2 -M 1 Besale Abbott, Who SLnss Mald Marian'' in Robin Hood. In the Summer I leave all my work to revel in his. We are marvelously happy because we both have tempera ment. "You can call it rot or mere temper or what you will, but doesn't it stand to reason that when I have played the life of another person all even ing, have sung till my nerves are all a tingle and have touched upon every emotion within me, that when I'm through I relax tremendously, let down my innermost self? Well, do you sup pose a man who has sat all day In the business world, has eaten a. big dinner, read the evening paper or talked more stocks and bonds till time to retire could understand one millionth of the first principle of temperament? He'd call it nerves, or "all put on," call it a fit of sulks maybe, say the wrong thing and up the chimney -would go any pretense even at compatibility. "Mind I do not say that the artistic life is better than a home and babies, for I'm domestic in that I'm crazy over children and I adore my several homes, but I Just cannot think of giving up my . career after I have passed so much of my time in hard, patient study. It is not easy to give up. It's too much a part of me now." Star la Animated Picture. Miss Abott Knows whereof she speaks on temperament. Her own has come to a boil and bubbles over. Her very silences are subtle. She wears a wig in Maid Marian and so you miss seeing her dark, soft, wavy hair. She is trig and trim and quite the most Parisienne animated picture I've seen since Anna Held showed me her ward robe. She is a pocket edition in high heels a stickup on her hat Is ac cent her slender height, or lack of height rather, and an encyclopedic head under the saucy turban. She has no bag of theatrical tricks, strikes no prima donnaish attitudes, and I'm glad I never saw any skeedoodle person play Maid Marian.. I want to always remember the first time I saw it, with Bessie Abott singing the role. who ever lived. That is a strong statement. It is a rhapsody. Who can tell in the long march of years? Be sides it 1s impossible to hear all the world's great contraltos in a hall at one time, and to hear them sing, one after another, the same selection. It is bale to say that Clara Butt Is the greatest native contralto of the Eng lish-speaking races. It was announced that Clara Butt and her husband, Kennerley Rumford. baritone, would appear in concert last night at the Armory, but fate or dained otherwise. Mr. . Rumford, It was announced, was suffering from the effects of a cold and he did not appear, to the great disappointment of the audience that about half filled the auditorium. Madame Butt was the solo singer, and was assisted by Wil liam Murdock, pianist, - and Harold iiaxiun, piano accompanist. Tall, majestic, with the figure of Juno, Madame Butt, as soon as she ,e appeared, commanded attention, and kept it. Verily she is one of earth's great ones, and just as human, as natural, as fond of singing tender songs of the home as the rest of us who sing. Madame Butt's most impressive numbers were "A Joyous Easter Hymn," "Abide With Me," "Largo" (Handel) and "The Voices of Chil dren." Her encores were the Handel number just mentioned and "The Lit tle Silver Ring" (Chaminade), "MyJ ..caouic xiev.ia, uuae rxaoen, Guid Kacht" and "Annie Lawrle." Her even style of singing, fine enunciation, motherly presence, and great good na ture are admirable. Mr. Murdock is a youthful pianist, but a talented one. Mr. Craxton played well. The audience was a trifle cold. The concert was under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. who an nounce Fritz Kreisler in concert March 12. POLICE HOLD WRESTLER Glenn Bailey Arrested With Girl on Train From California. Contributing to the delinquency of a 12-year-old girl was the charge filed against Glenn Bailey, a wrestler, who was arrested with the girl on a north bound California train yesterday by Sergeant Oelsner and Patrolman Sadler, on complaint of the train crew. The girl said sne was going to her father in Lake Park, Minn., .and that her mother had placed her in charge of tatiey, an acquaintance, in Corning, jai. uaney gave his age as 20 years. . The child is In care of Mrs. Lola Baldwin, superintendent of the munict pal Department of. Public Safety for Women. Her parents have , been noti- ned. The man will have .a hearing to day. It was said last night that Bailey will not be prosecuted n the charge on which he is held, but that a different charge might be filed against him. RAILROAD OFFICIALS DUE Northern Pacific Heads Will Be in Portland Today. Jule M. Hannaford, president of the Northern Pacific, and George T. Slade vice-president, in charge of operation who have been on the western end of the line for nearly a week, will arrive in Portland today on an official visit to the general offices here. They will remain in the territory several days. It is understood that Mr. Hannaford soon will succeed Colonel W. P, Clough, chairman of the Northern Pa cific board, and that Mr. Slade will advance to the presidency. Colonel Clough, who is preparing to retire, i nearly 70 years old. A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas senger agent of the Northern Pacific, returned from Puget Sound last night. and will receive the visiting officials. RECALL COMMITTEE OFFICE IS OPENED Discharged Market Inspector and Writer for the Oregon , Journal Are in Charge. "ANGEL" IS UNDER COVER Sir. Rushlight Denies He Will Be Candidate Charges Against Mayor and Messrs. Brewster and Dleck . Given Ont. Headquarters of the Citizens - Recall Committee, the name under which the organization now circulating petitions for the recall of Mayor Albee and Com missioners Brewster and Deick is working, have been established in room 427 of the Worcester building. This is the office of Albert D. Cridge, notary public and writer for the Oregon Jour nal, who. with Buck Keith, discharged market Inspector, are the only ones in the movement whose names have been made public. Mr. Cridge said yesterday that his connection with ftte recall is that of notary public to attest the affidavits of petition circulators as to the signatures obtained. Other than that, he said, he is acting only in an -advisory capacity. "i. was asKed to attend to the notarial part of the work," said Mr. Cridge. "At the time I knew I would be made figurehead, but I am not in charge of mo campaign. Back Keith Handlea "Field." Buck Keith, a close friend and ap pointee of ex-Mayor Rushlight as mar ket inspector, is handling the "field" end of the movement, which includes the hiring of petition circulators. These circulators are getting 10 cents for each three names they obtain. Mr. Keith is said to have 20 of these paid circulators on the Job. The assertion was made at the recall headquarters that eight volunteer circulators are also ruBtling names. That 2000 signatures have been ob tained since last Tuesday is asserted by Mr. Cridge. He said that efforts will be made to obtain 10.000 signatures. Though this is somewhat more than re quired by the constitutional provision which fixes 25 per cent of the number of votes cast for Supreme Court Jus tice at the last general election as the number of signatures necessary, the ex tra names are wanted to make up for signatures that may be thrown out. The 'Identity of those behind the move,- especially of the "angel" who is supplying the' financial sinews, is care fully guarded. Ex-Mayor Rushlight has been mentioned as a possible backer and probable recall candidate for Mayor, but Mr. Rushlight last night flatly denied this. Mr. RuMhllgrht Doesn't Know. "I am not behind the recall in any way, and I don't even know anything about it, he declared. "I am cer talnly not a recall candidate for Mayor. There Is nothing whatever to that story." Mr. Rushlight said he has been asked by many persons to become candidate for Sheriff, and has it under consideration, but that gossip connect Ing him with the recall is false. Some of the petition circulators have I mentioned Harry Yankwich, lawyer, and Fred Ij. Olson, ex-Justice of tha Peace, as being interested in the recall campaign. Both- entered denials last night. "I know nothing about the recall, and have refused to sign the petitions," de clared Mr. Yankwich. "I haven't a thing to do with it, asserted Mr. Olson. "I suppose thej talK that I am in it was caused by the unauthorized use of my name in con- nection with a recall agitation a couple I All the Rotary Clubs of the North of months ago." I west will be represented tomorrow In That disgruntled city employes, espe- I Tacoma for the annual convention cially those whose wages have been re- duced under the administrative code adopted some time ago by the City Commission, are backing the movement ajor are among its DacKers, appears likely. Much feeling was caused at the time by the general wage reduc tions and the regulations adopted. On the other hand, members of the police force indignantly deny that they ave a nana In the recall. Chief Clark enounced as untrue rumors that his men had contributed money to the cause. Many officers of the force did the same. Reason Are Set Out, The reasons assigned for the recall of Mayor Albee, as set out in the peti tions, follow: '(1). He has violated his oath of of fic and the city charter by retaining his position as general manager of an in- urance company since his election as Mayor of Portland. This amounts to using his official position as Mayor to increase the business of his insurance company, (2). He is unfit for office because there has been more crime and riot during the past six .months under his administration than during any like period in the history of the city and this is wholly due to his weakness, in efficiency and wabbling in policies. (3). iis management or the city business Is extravagant. (4). Under his administration many competent and worthy employes of the city have been discharged without Just reason and contrary to the spirit of the civil service law. "(5). w ho. ooi v, v.. vnf In or for ordinances -with the ttm..o-Anr !, i j and back pay to favored subordinates." some or the same reasons are named for the recall of Commissioners Rrew- made that' They have" been supporters ster and Dieck. The further assertion is of the Mayor. Commissioner Dieck is also charged With being arbltary and discourteous In his manner and treat ment of the public. w. 8.

William Woodhead, of San Francisco, general manager of the Sunset Maga zlne and president of the National As soclated Ad Clubs of America, made a spirited plea for clean advertising methods in his talk before the Port land Realty Board at luncheon yes teraay. "Fake advertisers In the West have been allowed to spoil and smear the real estate. bllslneHU until FflBtnrnara now lack confidence in the truth of Western statements,", declared Mr. Woodhead. "A great deal of created confidence is necssary to dispel this spirit of distrust. It requires more confidence to sell real estate than boots and shoes.
