THE IHORXTXG OREGOJTIAN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 1914. 14 SCHOOL BELLS RING; DAYS OF PLAY OVER Only Satisfaction for Port land's Youth Is That First Session Will Be Brief. BOOKS TO BE EXCHANGED Enrollment Predicted at 1000 More Than Opening Last Year and Fac ulty Has Been Increased by 50, Giving Total of 1000. Readin", writin" and 'rithmetlc taught largely without the tune of the pro verbial hickory stick will be the prin cipal order of business for the school children of Portland during the com ing ten montns Deginning this morn ing at 9 o'clock. But the best feature of today's at tendance, insofar as. the typical boys and girls who are reluctant to give up five days of play each week is con cerned, is that classes will be kept only about half an hour this morning. The book lists and census forms will be distributed among the pupils in the respective rooms and probably nearly every teacher will make a short talk to his or her class on the purpose of the work for the coming year. A request has been made by the Super intendent's office that the children in each building be assembled wherever possible to sing the "Star-Spangled Banner" in commemoration of the composition fit that anthem 100 years ago today. At the conclusion of these short ex ercises the pupils and high school stu dents alike will be dispatched to the book stores to get their individual supplies of textbooks for the opening term. Because this year so many new books are included in the course of tudy, there necessarily will be a large number of books, to exchange. School officials say that more new books will have to be purchased and exchanged this ye?r than ever before in the his tory of the Portland schools. Book Transfer Arranged. By arrangement with the publishers the book stores have been authorized to make prescribed allowances on old books turned in toward new ones, the price quotations being given on the book lists. Realizing the confusion that would result if all of the books were bought at the downtown book stores, as has been the custom largely in former years, an arrangement has been effected by which an oversupply of books for all grades will be handled at 50 separate book stores and stations scattered over the city. The aim has been to supply a particular station that will serve each school district and the teachers have been instructed to re quest their pupils to purchase their books at the stations nearest home. Recitations will not be held until tomorrow when the first lesson as signments will be given. The principals and teachers are to have troubles of their own this week. Following dismissal this morning, the teachers will determine the best means of starting the work ahead in their respective buildings. Where crowded, situations exist, requests and arrange ments for transfers will be made sub ject to the approval of the Superin tendents. Principals to Report. Bach principal is expected to report at he City Superintendent's office in the Courthouse today and discuss any proolems that may have arisen in any of the buildings. Instructions have been given each principal to notify the administrative offices of the attend ance in each class room. This pro cedure will be followed each day this week and weekly thereafter. By this means it will be possible to trace each day the growth of attend ance in the different rooms and build in as. On the opening day last year X3.664 were enrolled and it has been predicted that the opening enrollment this year will represent an increase of about 1000. About 1000 teachers and supervisors are on the district payroll this year, as compared with 950 at the same time last year. The Portland district Is equipped with 64 school buildings, all of which have been placed In trim for the com mencement of work today. R H. Thomas, clerk, and F. A. Naramore, superintendent of properties of the dis trict, made the rounds of the buildings yesterday and Saturday to make cer tain that all were In readiness and to Instruct the janitors on how to com mence their work today. Private Schools Open, Too. Virtually all of the public schools In Multnomah County outside of the Port land district and the various private schools In Portland will also open for the year's work tomorrow. Reed College will open to an ex expected attendance of 230 with a strengthened faculty and with Its course extended to Include the four full college classes. St. Helens Hall will open for day pupils only. Hill Military Academy opens today, but Columbia University will not open formally until tomorrow, although many of the students have arrived. Father Gallagher, former head of Columbia University, who is now In charge of St Mary's College, near Notre Dame, Ind., will be succeeded at Columbia by Father Boland, formerly of Austin, Tex. The increase of tuition charged non resident students for attendance in the Portland high schools is expected to Increase materially the attendance at all of the private schools. "Many parents and students have concluded that if they are gonlg to pay a heavy tuition for high school en trance they might as well pay a little more and derive the Increased bene fits of smaller classes and individual attention at the private schools of Portland." said an officer of one of the prominent Portland private schools last night PERSONALMENTION. r.

DELINQUENT TAXES FEW OF 0,000,000 COLLECTIBLE OXLY 500,000 YET UNPAID. New Law, Abolition of Rebates and Other Factors Delay Gathering of County Funds. "Of the Multnomah County taxes, which this year amounted to approxi mately $9,000,000, only a trifle more than 5 per cent, or $500,000, are now delinquent," said County Treasurer Lewis yesterday. "We have been hindered In our work somewhat this year by the operations of the new tax law. Formerly a large bulk cf the taxes were paid before March 15 by persons who wished to save their rebates, but this year, owing to the abolition of the rebate and to the injunction issued by Judge Clee- ton, the payments have been strung out over the entire Summer. "This circilmstance has not only caused us extra work and expense, but has actually worked a hardship on Portland and the users of the road fund, which could have worked to bet ter advantage had the funds for their support been available earlier." For eight days, beginning this morn ing, the rolls of the County Assessor for the 1914 taxes will be open for the inspection of the public. Any tax payer who is not satisfied with the as sessment made against his property may file an objection before 5 P. M. next Monday. These protests then will be consid ered by the Board of Equalization, com posed of County Assessor Reed. County Clerk Coffey and Circuit Judge Clee ton. The board is allowed to remain In Bession three weeks t dispose of the objections. 2 INDUSTRIAL FAIRS HELD Powell Valley and Orient School Districts Have Exhibits.

Of all the wonderfully exciting pic tures In the series of the Paul J. Ralney hunt pictures, now on exhibi tion at the Heilig, probably the most thrilling and discussion-arousing is the lion hunt. The entire chase and capture of the huge king of the forest is followed in detail from the moment the hunters find the carcass of the buck slain by the lion, until he springs, maddened with rage, straight at the camera and is brought down by bullets within five feet of the machine. Viv idly the action is shown. Sparseness of vegetation on the African hills allows every chance to see the pursuit of th big lion by the pack of hunting dogs Mr. Rainey has trained to track big game. Three performances are given dally,' the first at 1:15 o'clocK, the second at 3 o'clock and one in the evening at 8:30 o'clock. LAST TRIBUTE IS PAID Hundreds Attend Funeral of Mrs. Amalia X.

GERMAN FETES CANCELED War Prompts Clackamas Teutons to Forego Celebrations. v OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 13. (Spe cial.) Due to the European war the Germans of ClacHjftnas County will not hold any of their usual annual cele brations this Fall. Gustav Schnoerr, of the Deutsche IVereln and an official In the German-speaking societies of Ore gon, has sent out the following state ment: "Our usual German day at the Clackamas County Fair will not be celebrated this year, neither will we observe our general annual Volksfest Be it therefore understood when we Vlslff our county fair as we all should do. that we will desist from all public celebration."

Labor Notes BEN OSBORNF left Portland yester day to attend the international con vention of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers of America, to convene next week at Peoria, 111., alter wmcn he will visit Oils mother and relatives in the South. Mr. Osborne holds the positions of business agent of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, president of the Building Trades Coun cil and business manager of the Labor Temple Association. He also is a dele gate to and active worker in the Cen tral Labor Council. Whilethe Labor-day committee's re port to the Central Labor Council Fri day night showed a loss of nearly $500, It was no fault of the committee. Had tho weather been fair a handsome profit for the Labor Temple Associa tion might have resulted. Stung by their defeat owing to the weather, the committee has formulated plans that it believes will wipe out the loss of the Labor-day event and show a good profit as well, and upon its rec ommendation the council appointed a committee to investigate tho matter and report at the next meelng of the ! council. tv. riapmnnt WftpVnt. after a1 month's vacation, will return to work Monday morning. The dance given by Carpenters' Local 1106 Saturday night was a success. Burchard's orchestra furnished the mu sic. Electrical Workers, No. 125, are rapidly building up their organization to be the largest in the city. Mr. Bourne, Its business agent, reports that he is taking from 10 to 15 applications a week to join the local. Carpenters' Local 60 has Increased Its revenue by renting the hall two nights each week for the Winter to a dancing club. Instead of paying rent, as most locals do, they are collecting rent and are able to keep up a substantial or ganization. The president of the council has In structed the legislative committee to obtain a copy of the Oregon pamphlet containing proposed laws, which will be discussed and views obtained. LYRIC ONE LONG LAUGH "ALMOST HEROES" PBOYES TO BE IRRESISTIBLE TO CROWD. Husbands Break Away From Wives on War Pretext and Clever Comedy Is Built on Subsequent Events. War dramas, stories and songs are common, but a real comedy based on war maneuvers and incidents, is a bit out of the ordinary. In "Almost a Hero" the Lyric is of fering just such a novelty this week. Two frisky husbands, anxious for more freedom than is allowed by their wives, plan to escape once each week for a holiday night by pretending they are drilling with the Thirty-ninth Reg iment Cohen. Corporal of the Thirty-ninth, is also a plumber and is called to the home of the two frisky ones, who are father-in-law and son-in-law to each other. Here he discloses the fact to the two wives that their husbands are pre varicating, to say the least. By careful exchanging of coin for af fidavits the two men get Cohen to swear thev are in the Thirty-ninth. When peace Is thus restored along come orders to go to Mexico for active service. The two husbands see in this an opportunity for a prolonged noiiaay, and march awav with flags waving. bands playing and their wives waving tearful farewells. It is from here on that complications get in thick and fast The two husbands have given Cohen letters to mail, which he sends In bunches, and when the Thirty-ninth is reported entirely wiped out the two gay conspirators turn up as heroes. Then the title shows up, "Almost Heroes," for Cohen arrives on the scene just as the two have flnlsnea aescriD ing his death on the field of battle. Seely Carter as the plumber-corporal Is a prolonged howl. With dainty, dark-eyed little Dell Estes as the maid of the household, Solly makes a great team, and these two funmakers play on each other's best lines in fine style. Solly warbles a war ballad and the pretty little Miss Estes dances on her twinkling toes and aina-s "The Taneo in the Skies." Claude Kelly as the son-in-law hero and Gene Gorman as his iainer-in-iaw-nero n the two pivotal roles and get out of them all the laughs the author wrote Into the parts, and a lot more that Gor man and Kelly have themselves pat ented. Bert Roach in the role of a Texas terror of the plains, who turns up as a long-lost brother to the wife of one of the heroes just in time to put an other twist to the muddle, affords di verting comedy with his song, "This Is the Life." Madeline Rowe, statuesque and stun ning, and Gwyneth Dorsey, In a char acter role as an old dame, are the two mistrusting wives. Miss Rowe wears handsome gowns and sings in a full, big voice that pleases. ART CLASSES ARRANGED WINTER COURSES OF ASSOCIATION TO OPEN OCTOBER 5. Additions Made to Faculty and Instruc tion Will Be Extended to Public Schools This Year. The Art Association will open its Winter courses October 5 at tho Art Museum, Fifth and Taylor streets. Miss Helen Putnam, for some time teacher of art in Chicago, will have charge of the elementary class in draw ing and painting and the design classes. Miss Putnam is a graduate of the course of decoration of the Chicago Art Institute and pursued art studies in the Chicago University. That Miss Putnam is admirably equipped to take charge of the work Is the opinion of Anna B. Crocker, curator of the asso ciation. Sidney Bell, formerly a pupil of Ger ald Moira, Just here from England, will have charge of the advanced painting and drawing classes the first term and H. F. Wentz, known as one of the foremost teachers of art on the Pacific (Toast will teach the second-term classes. Mr. Wentz studied art in the Art students' Leacue of New York ana went abroad later, where he pursued his work. There will be a new course of lec tures on the "History of Art and Sculp ture" by Miss Ruth Rockwood and other members of the faculty, including Miss Putnam and Miss Crocker. Another departure is the direct in troduction of art work into the public nrhools through the medium of the Art Association. Classes in art in the public schools will be brought to the museum to pursue their studies, according to Miss Crocker. The dates for the exhibitions have not been definitely arranged, although several exhibitions have been planned. The Summer exhibition of tne Kem- brandt original drawings and etchings will close next Wednesday. The association offers two courses, one In the fine arts and the other in design. The first includes elementary draw ing and painting, quick sketch work and advanced life drawing and paint ing.

BAKER PLAY IS HIT "The Master Mind" Awakens Emotions of Witnesses. REVENGE PLOT GRIPPING Perfect Surprise Drama in Hands of Trne-to-Life Actors and Actresses Leads Audience Through Maze of Thrills. CAST OF "THE MASTER MIND." Andrew Robert Gleckler Wainwrlght William H. Powell Marshall Brandon Evans Forbes John Adams Mr. Blount Charles Halton Walter Harry L. Fraser Creegan Walter Gilbert Parker Walter Seigfrled Lucln Cora Belle Bonnie Mrs. Blount , Florence Roberts BY LEONE CASS BAER. The fact that audiences cling closely to their primitive likings, romance and mystery so profound that no self-appointed Sherlock could foretell the end ing until the signal for the llnal cur tain was proved again yesterday In the opening of "The Master Mind" at the Baker Theater. That court of last resort, the public, demonstrated joyously that it liked "The Master Mind." This play succeeds because Its romance is really romantic and its mystery is the pure and un adulterated variety. Its Interest gains materially by reason of the novel treat ment of the material. The main thread of the story winds through the heartless, cold-blooded machinations of a vengeance-seeking master criminal, who mercilessly pits human life against human life in his plotting to avenge the death of a broth er he loved. The brother had been sent to the electric chair for murder, and for five years before the play-story opens the master crook has given every energy of his body and every concen tration of his mind on crushing the District Attorney who sent the brother to the chair. He has followed every avenue that would lead him into touch with the life of his prey, and has run down every clew that might put the hated one in his power. Girl Tool of Revenge." Finally he finds what he is seeking the photograph of a girl in the at torney's keeping, and learns that the attorney Is seeking her that he has seen her but once and has loved her since. "So the "master mind" sets out in quest of the girl and, finding her, uses her as a tool to break his enemy. He finds her a convicted thief, a waif of the streets and sends her abroad, where culture and learning make her over. Then he recruits her a family a fath er, mother and a brother from the rank and file of thieves he knows and brings( her in contact with the District Attor ney. She has given herself to the plans of the master mind because she, too, has never forgotten their one meeting. The master mind directing all these wicked maneuvers is lodged In the un pretentious person of the valet of the girl's pseudo brother. He sees every thing and anticipates much. When the girl weds the attorney he and her sup posed relatives stay on as house guests for a month, thus enabling him to gather all his forces for a final grand climax. The cards fall true and he strips from the attorney every vestige of pride, his newly-acquired honors as Governor-to-be and lays the plot and the girl's history bare. But he had not reckoned upon the witchery of. the girl herself. By her renunciation of happiness to save her husband, and her belief that the master mind cannot do the terrible wrong he contemplates she weakens his defnse of vengeance deferred, and love triumphs over hatred. I Love Is Triumphant. The story points a moral, beautifully told. It hplds the power to send thrills up and down one's back. Its popular ity yesterday and the attention It is destined to command all week is in the last analysis due to the excellent char acterizations of the roles. Robert Gleckler plays the title role with signal distinction. His portrayal is forceful and masterly, never step ping over into sinister exaggeration. Cora Belle Bonnie commands the sym pathy of her audience with complete mastery In her picturing of the poor little tool of the master mind. A splen did piece of acting Is contributed by William H. Powell as the District At torney, a' role he makes typical and clear. Charles Halton as the pseudo father, reformed bank robber; Florence Rob erts as the mother and formerly "Mil waukee Sadie," and Harry L. Fraser, alias "Diamond" Willie, posing as the son, all afforded a family for the heroine that kept her unhappy and sent the audience Into hysterics of laughter. Walter Gilbert, In one of his fa mous "crook" roles, Brandon Evans as an alert detective, John Adams as a doctor and Walter Seigfrled as a butler complete a cast of all-around excel lence.
