PUPiLS GAIN DRIER Creston Principal Restrained in Vaccination Case. FIGHT IN COURT STARTS Children of W. O. Powell, Barred Out for Xot 'Submitting to Needle, Obtain Temporary Injunction. Judge McGinn Acts. Professor Sheldon F. Ball, principal of the Creston School, was enjoined through an order issued by Judge Mc Ginn in the Circuit Court late yester day from preventing the children of W. O. Powell from attending the school because they are not vaccinated. Pro fessor Ball was servod with the court's order last evening. The storm that has been raging over vaccination in the city schools promises to develop into a legal battle, of which yesterday's court order was the open ing gun. The injunction is a tempo rary one that undoubtedly will be con tested by the health and school authori ties of the city. Children Dealed AdmJ union. The plaintiff in the injunction suit, Mr. Powell, is a resident of the Creston district and since school opened for the Winter term he has sent his chil dren to Professor Ball that they might resume their studies and pursue the regular school course. They have been denied admission to the scnool on the ground that they had not been vacci nated and were told they would be prevented from attending until they had been vaccinated. Mr. Powell accompanied his children to the school yesterday noon and for mally asked that they be admitted, but was told by the principal that they could not attend until they were vacci nated. Mr. Powell then commenced legal action; Blame Put on Principal. William M. Gregory and ' W. T. Vaughn, attorneys who acted for Mr. Powell, hold that as the School Board appears to disclaim authority" in the present situation, the school prin cipals are directly responsible for bar ring children from school. "The responsibility seems to be up to the principal in this case," said Mr. Vaughn. "It is understood that the school principals admit some children and exclude others, as they think besL The Powell children will go to the Creston School this morning and they will be admitted, and once in, they will stay in. "Doctors of the Health Department come out to the schools and appear to send children home or admit them at their own sweet will and pleasure. A doctor has noright to interfere with a child of mine and keep it from at tending school, any more than he has to exclude these children of Mr. Powell, and the sooner they find it out the better." OPERA UNHURT BY WAR Popular Musical 'Stars on Way to Open Portland Season. Portland music-lovers are congratu lating themselves that the war is not interfering in the least with this sea Bon's musical plans, judging from the notable stars that Steers & Coman have succeeded in booking for the Winter. Their season will open the first week in October, when the famous dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, Mme. Olive Fremstad, will sing at the HeUig. The attractions that will comprise the Steers & Coman series of concerts for 1914-1915 will include also others new to Portland, such as the charming new coloratura soprano, Alma Gluck, already a star of first magnitude. young though she is, ranking with Sembrich and Melba. With her will appear Efrem Zimbalist, the young genius of the violin, whose triumphs in Europe have given him such re markable prestige during the past two years. George Barrere, the flute soloist. whose music is of that ethereal, enchant ing quality, ha3 assembled eight other artists in wood-wind under the name of the "Barrere Ensemble." Their visit to Portland will be a, notable event. That delightful tenor whose wonder fully sweet voice has pleased count less audiences, Leo Slezak, is also com ing to Portland. Josef Lhevinne, the pianist of. the series, is now at the zenith of his power, the magic charm of his tone and nuance making him with many the favorite among - living pianists. LECTURE ON DRAMA GIVEN II. II. Brown, M. A., Says Courage of " AVoinen Is War's Need. "Woman's courage is the kind of courage needed, for it is the kind that leads unto life. Man in the past ages had to fight, but today, with this hor rible conflict going on in Europe, there is growing every day a deeper convic tion that this is all so unnecessary. This will, I predict, be the last great war. Co-operation, not destruction, should be the thing." This was expressed yesterday morn ing by Alfred H. Brown, M. A., who gave an address on the drama in the ballroom of the Hotel Multnomah. Mr. Brown took as his inspiration the play "The Terrible Meek." by Ken nedy. He depicted cleverly and elo quently the dramatic incidents pre- O P "FT N G DISPLAY BBE5E A hat as . , popular as the Gordon must be right. It. is on the majority of heads 1 everywhere. Your size?

This is the first of series of lectures Mr. Brown is giving in Portland. The next lecture will be delivered tomorrow morning, when "The Mark" will be the topic. CAR ROBBERIES CHARGED Two Held, - Accused of Stealing Wheat, Believed Members of Gang Robberies from box cars at the O.-W. R. & N. Company's yards in Alblna beMeved to aggregate several thousand dollars in value have been going on in recent months, believed to be the work of an organized gang of thieves. Two men suspected of being members of the gang were arrested and bound over to the grand jury yesterday. William Spencer, said to be 17 years old, and William Washbourne, 38 years old, were caught in the railroad yards after dark by Special Agent Bakscy. Spencer ran and Bakscy handcuffed Washbourne to a box car while he pur sued and captured Spencer. It was al leged the two men were stealing wheat from a car. According -to Bakscy, the gang, of which Spencer -and Washbourne are suspected members, has been breaking into box cars, stealing sacked wheat, brass, copper and other things. It would then carry the loot to a trestle further down the track and lower it into a steam launch with the aid of a long rope, he said.
