4 TITE MORNING OREGONIAN. 3IOXDAT, , . AFBIL 2G, 1915, BAR ASSOCIATION 78 200 Attorneys at Annual Ban quet Hear Talks by Promi nent Visitors. MUSICAL NUMBERS PLEASE C. Jj. McXary Declares lawyers Are Too Prolix; F. W. Wilson Gives Historical Review; T. H. Craw ford Criticises Oregon System. Two hundred attorneys gathered at the Portland Hotel Saturday night to attend the ninth annual banquet of the JIultnoniah Bar Association, which was marked by addresses by three prominent members of the profession from outside of the city. Seventy ight new members were admitted to membership in the association at last rtlKht's meeting. The main dining-room of the hotel was attractive with floral decorations and down the center of the long tables were strlnps of tiny, multi-colored electric lights. A. E Clark was toast master of the occasion. Throughout the progress of the dinner musical numbers were featured. Frank T. Hennessy, accompanied by TV. J. Carkeek, pleased the company with songs, some of them original, and repeated encores were demanded. One itong. 'n which prominent members of the bar were joked, was much ap plauded. The vaudeville team of Glass & Purdy, playing popular and National airs on th violin and concertina, added no little to the entertainment of the evening, aryl the Ad Club Quartet proved a great favorite as al ways in several songs. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Brady introduced several so ciety dances that were heartily ap plauded. C. L.. McXury Speak on Brevity. Toastmastr Clark introduced C. L. McNary. of Salem, as the first speaker, his subject being "Brevity." Mr. Mc Kary said prolix and verbose argu ments by attorneys often lose cases and he cited Lincoln's speech on the battlefield of Gettysburg, which re quired one minute and a half to deliver, as a model of brevity. "The Sermon on the Mount," said the speaker, "contained one-half the . woids found in the average petition filed by attorneys for a rehearing and r.hout one-half the words that are con sidered necessary in complaints filed for the dissolution of the bonds of matrimony. "Our books are too long and our Judicial opinions are too long. I quite agree with Judge Thomas A. McBride. who once told me that the man who can make one word do the work of three is as much entitled to honor as he who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before." Mr. McNary said the moral qualifi-l cations of applicants for admission to the bar should be inquired into some what and expressed the belief that in this one particular there is too much brevity. "The Country Bar" was the subject discussed by F. W. Wilson, of The Dalles. Hia was a talk that largely dealt with remininscence. He spoke of pioneer conditions in Eastern Oregon and read extracts from a letter written by Judge Joseph G. Wilson, first judge of the district that then comprised all Eastern Oregon, since divided into seven judicial districts, in which he told of the great extent of country in which he held court and the pioneer conditions prevailing there. Mr. Wilson paid tributes to the mem ory of such eminent jurists of the early days as Judge Gates. Judge Kelly, W. Lair Hill. George H. Williams, and others. "Oregon Syotein" Is Criticised. Thomas H. Crawford, of La Grande, discussed "The Certainty of the Law." He told of the things that make for uncertainty and. deplored them. He said certalnfy of the law gives confi dence to business and Industrial Inter ests of the country. "One thing that causes uncertainty." he said, "is the ease with which the organic law of ; this slate may be changed. Under our system it may be changed by an initiative measure by a majority of the people who vote on that measure or by referendum. I am an admirer of the Oregon system to a oertain extent, but I am not in politics to such an extent that I hesitate to say when I disagree with it. The ease with which our laws may be changed should be corrected, but if anyone were to go 'before the Legislature and attempt to remedy a law passed by the people he would get scant consideration. "The manner In which initiative measures are prepared to go on the ballot also makes for uncertainty. The people should have a right to enact laws and to reject laws, but there should be some means to correct them before they go on the statute books." FRENCH WOMEN DECLINE Talk of Mediation at This Hour De clared National Abdication. PARIS, April 25. Following the pro testation of the National French Wom en's League against the Woman's Peace Conference at The Hague, the Women of France, the National Coun cil of French Women, the French Wom en's Suffrage Union and Madame Jull lette Adam, in the name of the French Women's Crusade, have sent refusals to invitations requesting them to par ticipate in the conference. Madame Adam, writing to Elinor Fell, the English delegate, declared: "To ask French women to seek arbl tratlon or mediation at this hour or to talk of an armistice is to ask them to consent to national abdication." FLEET COMING IN JULY Mare Island Xavy Officially Noti fied by Daniels. VALLEJO. Cal.. April 25.

Such repairs as are needed will be made at the Navy-Yard here at that time, the letter said. FLANDERS MOVE CRITICAL Germans Reported to Be Assembling Heavy Reinforcements. LONDON. April 25. Discussing the latest German effort to break through the British line at Ypres, the military ADDS MEMBERS correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The critical moment has arrived. The immediate object of the Germans is the capture of Ypres, which they regard as the key to Calais. For this movement picked troops have been transported to the Flanders front, as evidenced by repeated " reports from Holland and the elaborate troop move ments In Belgium. The British blow at Hill No. 60 was an effort to strike first. "If the German report of the capture of four heavy guns is true, the enemy must have made an advance of at least two or three miles, as heavy guns never are placed near the front and often are four or five miles behind the advanced trenches. "The Germans still are bringing up large reinforcements, throwing every available man into the gap. They have probably half a million men available without depleting the eastern front, and many men might be spared from Po land, where the roads render military operations impossible for the present." ITALY STILL DICKERING AUSTRIAN CONCESSIONS STILL RE GARDED AS NOT ENOUGH. Military Preparations Bleanvrhlle Are Nearly Perfect and Are Being Blade More Complete Dally. ROME, via Paris, April 25. The coun cil of ministers which was to have been held today to discuss the international situation was postponed. This was In terpreted to mean that Baron Sonnino, Minister of Foreign Affairs, contrary to expectations, was not ready to com municate anything definite to his col leagues regarding the negotiations with Germany and Austria It is reported that Austria has made further concessions in the endeavor to preserve Italian neutrality, but it is said that these are not satisfactory to Italy. It is said that Baron Sonnino is obdurate in the demands representing a minimum of what Italy expects. Great excitement reigns here and in Vienna and in Berlin over the negotiations. Premier Salandra and Baron Sonnino frequently see King Victor Emmanuel and discues the matter after inter views with Prince Buelow, the German Ambassador in Rome, and Baron de Macchio, the Austrian Ambassador. Italy's military preparations already are nearly perfect and they are daily becoming more complete. ITALY'S STRENGTH , 000, 000 Active Field Army Estimated to Be Composed of 800,0 0 0 Men. PARTS.

OPERA WELL ATTENDED DOUBLE BILL AT MATINEE SEES MANY UNABLE TO GET SEATS. " "Faoif Wins Warm Applause at Night and Individual Singers Please " . - Audiences. The Baker Theater Saturday was well attended at both performances, and at the matinee, at the rendition of "Cavallerla Rustlcana" and "I Pag liacci," every seat was occupied, and dozens of prospective patrons were turned away for lack of room. In "I Pagliacci," De Falco made a deep impression in his playing and singing of. the part of Canio, and Benn yan made a big hit in his amusing por trayal of Tonla. Bennyan made instant friends with the donkey drawing the cart by attaching a bunch of fresh green grass to a girdle around his own waist. The donkey made a frantic at tempt to follow Bennyan all over the stage and to eat the grass. Bennyan sang the famous "Prologue" with a succession of thrills. A. Neri, tenor, made an agile and realistic harlequin, and sang his music with ease and good effect. Neri also made good as Lord Arthur Bucklaw in "Lucia." Neri is an admirable utility singer and an all-around experienced actor. "Faust" last night had a fine presen tation, and received warm applause. This afternoon the bill is "Lucia" and tonight the double bill is "Cavallerla Rusticana" and "I Pagliacci."

TO KNOW PAVING COST District Attorney Asks How Much Money Goes for Warrenite Royalties. PATENT MAY BE ATTACKED Pavement Said to Be Sold at Flex ible Figure Suggestion Made That Bituminous May Be Cheaper by Saving in Base. If Warrenite pavement is to be laid on 70 miles of county roads. District Attorney Evans is determined that the county shall know just how much of its money is going into patent royal ties. Saturday he communicated with the Warren Brothers Company of Bos ton, asking that they furnish a segre gated statement of charges for raw material furnished to the contractors. Mr. Evans also Intimated that an at tempt might be made to break the Warren patent if a low figure cannot be obtained in any other way. Like the County Commissioners, District Attorney Evans and Arthur A.. Murphy, deputy, are "up to their ears" in the paving question. They declare they cannot venture out of their offices without being buttonholed by a repre sentative of some brand of paving. "We want to know." said Mr. Evans yesterday, "just how much of the money we pay for these roads is going for patent royalties, that is, of course, if we put Warrenite on our roads. We have asked the manufacturers of this product for a detailed segregation of charges. We want to know how much is paid for materials, haw much for cost of supervision, how much for mixing and testing, and how much for royalties. "We have figures from engineers with which we can check up all the charges. We know also that the War renite prices are more or less flexible. Last year when it was proposed to pave Base Line road, the Warrenite people said they would sell their mixed product to contractors for 86 cents a square yard. At the same time they had a notice filed with the city author ities that they would sell the same product tor $1.15 a square yard to con tractors for paving city streets. "Mr. Yeon and Mr. Benson have both said that they favor Warrenite paving. Their opinions are valuable in this case. And if we are going to have Warrenite. we are going to know just where our money is going." Mr. Evans and Mr. Murphy pointed out yesterday that the bituminous brand of paving might be cheaper than other brands, because of the fact that the present macadam would be used for a base. Huge steam rollers with heavy spikes on the wheels will run over the roads, tearing up the macadam. Another ma chine wil follow, leveling and rolling it. Then a heavy layer of clean crushed rock will be spread over this. The pav ing will then be laid over all, saving the necessity for a concrete base. That W the way Mr. Evans and Mr. Murphy explain the operation. "But," resumed Mr. Evans, "there Is no 'reason why we should pay a heavy royalty to an Eastern patent holder. I have accumulated a vast quantity of literature on the subject." Mr. Evans produced bulky price lists, authorities and pamphlets on paving, with photographs of cross-sections of the different kinds of paving. Regarding a ' possible attempt to break the Warren patent, Mr. Evans said only that he thought the attempt might be feasible. He is investigating the patent further, and although its le gality has been upheld by Federal Courts, he is still inquiring into the authority of the Wafren people to charge a royalty on this paving. . KING COUNTY PAVEMENT EYED Multnomah County Court Declares Outside Bidders Will Get Chance. SEATTLE. Wash.. April 25. (Spe cial.) Paving interests of Seattle as well as other cities in this state are to have an equal opportunity with Oregon contractors' in bidding for con tracts under the $1,250,000 road bond lsBue of Multnomah County, Oregon, ac cording to the members of the Multno mah County Board of Commissioners, who were in Seattle today. The members of the Board. W. L. Lightner, chairman; R. C. Holman and Phllo Holbrook, say that there will be no partiality shown toward Oregon contractors when it comes to awarding bids for the road work. The three Commissioners spent today with Commissioner Carrigan of King County in going over . King and Snohomish County roads through Everett and as far as Marysville. To morrow they will visit Pierce County and leave for Portland tomorrow night. "We haven't formed any opinions as to what kind of surface we shall de cide on. and will not until we get back," said Commissioner Lightner. "Our mind is open on the subject so far, and we are here to learn all we can of what Washington counties have done in the way of road building. It is fair to say, however, that the expense of paving our highways with brick will probably prohibit the use of thit material. There is a question, however, of whether brick would not be cheaper in the end, but that we have not de cided." The Commissioners say that they were not invited to Seattle and other cities of this state as the guests of any of the tavini, interests, but that they are merely here to get a fair impres sion of what has been done in Wash ington. A SUBSTANTIAL GHOST Curious Mixup in Misunderstanding Talk in England. "I had never been in England be fore," explained the young woman, "and many or tne common names for ordi nary things were new to me such as 'squash' for lemonade and 'gums' or goloshes for rubbers. Most of them however, merely amused me, but there was one term that almost terrified me into hysterics the first time I heard it. i n aa oeen asked to stay at a country house in Hants, and "through some misunderstanding I reached there a day earlier than I was expected to come. It wosn't my fault, but it caused a rearrangement and shifting of condi tions to take care of me that first night, and I was put in the room usu ally occupied by the governess a tall, forbidding-looking female, of whom I caught only a glimpse the evening I arrived. "The sleeping room itself. when I reached it. seemed large enough for ten such small people as I. It looked to me large enough for an armory, and about as cheerful. There were no radiating electric bulbs nothing but one lone candle, that gave about as much lisht as a lightning bug. There was & coal fire no, coals, but even Athat looked depressing, and of .a more COUNTY WANTS sombre red than fires in America. I was just plain homesick, of course, al though I didn't know it. "I was a long time getting to sleep, but when I did sleep it was with the soundness of a log or a bat or a dor mouse, or anything that sleeps with all its might. Not until the first dis mal streaks of dawn began to show did I wake, and then only because of a presence in the room. "I could plainly make it out, standing near the door, a tall form in white. and while I looked, it moved, and hav ing moved, it spoke, in a deep, throaty voice. "'I want my body!' it said. I don't know what kept me from fainting. I do know what kept me from screaming it was because I was too scared. I watched that dreadful figure move to a tall wardrobe in the corner and thrust its head and shoulders in side, and- saw it tug and wrench at something, and then turn toward me, holding the something in its hands. And then, in the brightening dawn, I saw it was the stern-looking governess, holding the waist of her dreas! "How on earth was I to know that in England a waist even a shirt waist is called a 'body,' I'd like to know?" demanded the young woman energetic ally. "I think I had a perfect right to be scared!"

April 14. Before leav ing his charge here, the Rev. Howard T. Quigg, one of the two "marrying parsons" who has been transferred to a church at Greensboro, Md., presumably for his activities in aiding eloping cou ples, denied that this had anything to do with his transfer. Mi Quigg, who is a brother of former Congressman Lemuel E. Quigg, of New York, will be succeeded in the Methodist Episco pal Church soon by the Rev. G. P. Jones, D. D.. and speculation is rife as to whether the change in pastors will affect the matrimonial business of Cecil County. It has been asserted that Mr. Quigg officiated at the weddings of more than 800 of the 2500 blushing couples who sought the graces of the two marrying pastors. Mr. Quigg asserted that his transfer was not a result of the matri monial business some of his parishion ers charged him with conducting on the side. It was also asserted by several of the members of the church w-hich Mr. Quigg is leaving that he paid cab men a commission for bringing pros pective brides and bridegrooms to his house after they arrived on the "honey moon express." "My transfer was satisfactory to me in every way," said Mr. Quigg. "All this talk about my being a marrying parson is false every line of It. It is as false as liars with licenses can make it. Every one who knows me well In Elkton is aware that I transacted but little business with those who went there to marry. I wanted to be trans ferred because I found it Impossible to get along with some persons in the church." TEACHER'S GRIP COSTS JOB Woman, Accused of Choking Pupil, Is Dismissed. PORT JEFFERSON.

' Members of the Modern Woodmen of America assembled at the Eleventh Street Theater Saturday nlerht to hear addresses on the work of the order by representatives of the head camp, who are on a tour of the Pacific Coast.

Mr. Van Galder said that fraternal ism, such as represented in Modern Woodmen, has done much for humanity, and declared that the movement would make still greater strides. "We are do ing in a practical way many of the things which the church, in addition to spiritual work, might be doing. Fra ternal societies could not have had any kind of existence without the church. We are not working in opposition to the churches, we are co-operating with them in doing practical good. Frater nal societies do not exist for the bene fit of members, but for the good of those whom the members love." Order Cares for Thousands. Mr. Tanner reviewed the growth of the order since its foundation 32 years ago. He said that during that time 50,000 homes had been provided for widows and orphans and that 200.000 boys and girls have been taken care of and given proper attention. "A fraternity should be measured by the good it does, and it costs little to do good," said Mr. Tanner. "That is what our order stands for. True fra ternity is in doing practical things." Dr. Rutledge told of the work being done at the sanitarium at Colorado Springs. Moving pictures showing scenes at the institution were exhibited. George L- Baker, manager of the Rose Festival Association, outlined plans for the forthcoming Festival and urged Woodmen to co-operate with the association to make It the biggest suc cess of any ever held.

Flack, dancing inspector, a so-called lnter-school boating party was held Saturday night on the steamer Joseph Kellogg, on which more than 200 enjoyed a dancing party. A recent rul ing of the school authorities forbids holding an inter-school party without the sanction of the principals of the schools. Practically all those who attended the affair last night were present at the Multnomah Hotel, April 10, when Danc ing Inspector Flack stopped a dance given for high school pupils, on the im mediate ground of failure to procure a permit. Behind this was a request of the principals of three Portland high schools that no permit be issued for any dance, advertised as a high school dance, when it is to be held in any pub lic place. For 20 miles down the river the mem bers of the party enjoyed themselves, "ragging" to the music furnished by an orchestra composed of two negroes. The boat put off at 8 o'clock and did not return to Washington-street dock until 11:30. LINCOLN JUNE CLASS HOST Miss Margaret Moore Is Soloist and Principal Davis Speaks.
