AGENCY LICENSE REVOKED Commission Holds Employment Of fice Misrepresented Facts. Because the proprietor of Lewes & Myers Employment Agency, at 224 Burnside street, posted a notice on the bulletin board in front of that place to the effect that the Government pro posed to engage a large number of la borers on the Celilo project and on the strength of this notice sold tickets to about 100 men to the scene of the pro posed work, the City Commission yes terday suspended the firm from busi ness lor bo days.

Practically $4500 is yet desired by the Portland Symphony Orchestra to defray the expenses. of its rehearsals and concerts for the season of 1914-15. The sum originally aimed at was $6000, and only $1500 has been pledged. To discuss means to raise this bal ance of $4500 a luncheon talks, was held yesterday at the Hotel Benson by the officers of the Portland Symphony Or chestra, who had as their guests these men representing business clubs of the city: J. C. English, of the Rotary Club; Charles F.' Berg, of the Portland Ad Club; Jacob Kanzler, of the Progressive Business Men's Club; R. W. Raymond, of the Manufacturers' Association: W. Merriman. of the Transportation Club, and D. N. Mossessohn, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. No money was actually raised at the meeting, but each of the club representatives present promised to bring the project before his organization. As the matter stands now, this ad vertisement should be flashed over a wide area: WANTEEH-A donor, or donors, to Blve as a loving gift $4500 to the fortiana ojra pony Orchestra. A first-class educational advertisement for Portland. Apply, etc Canary Trills for Musician. There were around the luncheon ta ble professional and amateur musi cians of this city and business men who were all invited beforehand. One welcome guest was present, un bidden. He was a golden-voiced canary stationed in his cage near the window where sat William T. Wheelwright, honorary president of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, and at the iden tical moment when this speaker began his introductory address, the canary burst into Bong. It was significant of two Portland singers, one of words, the other of music. The other significant incident was voiced by Lewis R. Alderman, City Su perintendent of Schools, who announced that, as a surprising result of the schoolchildren attending the rehearsals of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, Ladd Public School had been selected by the School Board as a "music school," to which all students attend ing any public school in the city if they show musical talent will be transferred. Many Voice Appeal for Aid. Brief speeches were made by Mr. Wheelwright, M. Christensen, Franck G. Eichenlaub. Mrs. Tait business manager of the orchestra and Carl Denton all representing the Portland Symphony Orchestra, in which appeals for financial support for. the project were made to the business men of Portland. The chief reason urged was the added educational values that have accrued and will accrue to this city, because of the high-class advantages of these symphony concerts. Emphasis was laid on the fact that other cities in this country and Europe possess symphony orchestras which are supported by substantial g:fts or grants by wealthy individuals or through public taxation. The object lesson Is that the Portland Symphony Orchestra is supported altogether by the voluntary contributions or sub scriptions of its citizens. It was reported that the expenses of last year's symphony concerts amount ed to $4915, just about equal to the re ceipts and donations, and that each member of the orchestra received as his share of actual participation in the concerts and rehearsals last year, the sum of $1.50 for each event. Patriotic Display Proposed. Mr. V heelwnght proposed that, at the conclusion of each symphouy coi? cert, the orchestra should play and the audience should sing one verse of "America" or the "Star-Spangled Banner." E. B. Piper referred to the additional educational advantages Portland has received . through its symphony or chestra concerts .and hoped the busi ness men present- would take up as their work the duty of presenting the financial needs of the orchestra to the organizations they represent. Mr. Alderman followed in the same vein, and voiced the value of the or chestral rehearsals, and concerts ii moulding the appreciation for first- class music among the children attend ing Portland schools. The proudest moment in my. life, last year, pro ceeded Mr. Alderman, "was when the Superintendent of the Seattle Schools attended, with me, a symphony rehear sal, and said: 'Fine. Look at those children. When I get back to Seattle t will urge symphony concerts for Se attle school children." Mr. Alderman then told of the Ladd School incident. . S10.000 Fund Proposed. Mr. English thought that $10,000 yearly should be subscribed for the symphony fund. "Let's begin now? Who is the first to subscribe?" asked Mr. Berg but there was no silver or golden ring. Mr. Raymond said that the finer edu cational' culture of the life of Oregon people, represented largely by the Portland symphony concerts, should be brought to the attention of Intending settlers. He mentioned that one of the films representing Oregon products, made for the San Francisco exposition, will include a picture of the musicians of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. In speaking of newspapers in gen eral and their influence for good in the community, Mr. Wheelwright said that The Oregonian is "one of the great newspapers of the world." There was cordial applause. WATER VOTE ORDERED DALY PLA. TO BE ACTED IPOS AT RECALL ELECTION. Landlords Oppose Bleasnre, Deelarina; It Is Only GlTlngr Encosragement to ."Dead Beats." By unanimous vote the City Commis sion adopted a resolution yesterday re ferring to the voters at the proposed recall election, October 27, the question of assessing water bills to property in stead of to occupants of property. Al though all members of the Council are not in favor of the plan, all are willing that the voters shall decide the Ques tion. The ordinance -which is being referred to the voters would make property owners or landlords responsible for water used by their tenants. If adopted it will amount virtually to house own ers raising their rent to cover the amount of the water bill or exacting a deposit from tenants to guarantee pay ment of water bills. This will be neces sary because the water rental will not be collected in advance as at present. but will be collected at the end of each three months for the water used during that time. Commissioner Daly says the purpose of the proposed plan is to cut down the operating expense of the water depart ment. He proposes, if the system is adopted, to discontinue sending out bills. This would reduce the clerical cost of the department and the cost of stationery and stamps. It would also cut down the amount of work of in spectors. Many property owners who opposed the plan when it was brought up about a year ago by Commissioner Daly and defeated by the Council oppose the plan now. It is contended that a per son might move into a house and use the water for two months and a half without paying and then move out, leaving the landlord to pay the water bill. Property owners contend that it is no more proper to hold them for the water rental of "dead beat" tenants than it is to hold them for the grocery and meat bills and other personal expenses of the tenants. It is said that renting condi tions in the city make it impossible to increase rents, to cover the water bills, and a system of exacting deposits to guarantee payment of bills is not prac tical. It is contended by property own ers that the move will result In the reduction of the expenses of the floating population which contributes nothing now for the upkeep of the city. 1 BABES SWARM TO SHOW ESTIMATES PLACE JOOO LIKELY AT ARMORY lOXlliuiT.' Woi of Woodcraft Find Interest Keen and Possibility That Every District Will Be Represented. That there will be more than 500 babies exhibited in the old-fashioned baby show to be held in the Armory October 31, during the progress of the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show; is the opinion of Mrs. E. T. Hughes, who was a commissioner of the land show, will have supervision of this feature. The baby show will be staged under the auspices of the Women of Wood craft. The various circles in the city and suburbs are canvassing for babies. with the result that many proud mothers and fathers have agreed to place their children in the contest. "We will have babies from every neighborhood in the city' said Mrs. Hughes. "The applications are com ing in by the dozens." she continued "and I am wondering just what I will do with 500 or 600 babies. At the rate parents are offering the babies it would be possible to have 1000 babies at the land show. "The Women of Woodcraft have taken a great interest in the show and par ents throughout the city are responding quickly to the. invitation to bring their children to the baby show." The committee from the Women of Woodcraft having the baby show feat rue to look after held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to Inspect the ap plications receicved and make some ar rangements to take care of the hun dreds of babies on the day the show is scheduled. This committee consists of Mrs. C. Arunsen, Mrs. Minnie McGregor, Mrs. Dora McDaniel, Mrs. Lizzie Wise, Mrs. Ora N. Allen, Mrs. Mary Delgard, Mrs. Sarah L.

In other words, two tenths of 1 per cent of the population now own 70 per cent of our total Na tional wealth.
