THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, JUNE Q, 1915. 5 PAY POOL IN BRITISH CABINET CRITICISED Members of Parliament Ques tion Authority of Ministers in Dividing Salaries. MUNITIONS BILL PASSES Powers or Lloyd George Limited to Those of Otlier Government De partments by Adoption. of Amendment to Measure. LONDON, June 8. The rather novel project of .pooling their salaries, re cently agreed to by the members of the new coalition ministry, by which each secretary draws yearly about J21, 000 Instead of some receiving $25,000 and othera J10.000 or less, was sharply criticised in the House of Commons to day in the course of the consideration of the salary of the Minister of Muni tions. Davison Dalziel, Unionist, took the stand that if the secretaries thus dis tributed their pay, they were altering the amounts fixed by Parliament with out consent of Parliament. Sir Arthur B. Markham. Liberal, took a similar view, saying it was a ques tion of the "division of spoils" to which he strongly objected. Agreement la Defended. Home Secretary Simon defended the arrangement, saying it was In every respect a domestic agreement among the men concerned, and he thought it was invidious to inquire into the mat ter. Premier Asquith announced that he listened to such a discussion with sur prise and pain. The only question be fore the House was whether the new Minister of Munitions was to receive a salary of 5000. If the House of Commons were tec pry into how this money should be spent it would mean the end of decencies in public life. The Premier for one denied the right of the House to discuss the matter. The speaker ruled that the subject could be discussed, but he questioned the good taste of such a procedure. .Munitions BUI In Passed. "For God's sake, let us quit this and be Britons," exclaimed F. G. Ivellaway, Liberal, whereupon the House agreed to the report stage of the salary reso lutions. The House passed the munitions bill on third reading. On motion made by W. M. II. Pringle, Liberal, the House had previously adopted an amendment limiting' the powers of the new ministry of muni tions "to those already conferred by statute or otherwise on 'any govern ment department or authority." This apparently meets the objection that David Lloyd George, in his new office, would have unlimited power. Miss Genevieve Frazier Recital Displays Art.

As a colorful dancing wind blown California poppy, too, she called forth amazed exclamations of delight. M. Volinine appeared in this dance with Mile. Pavlowa and won praise for his own beautiful dancing. He gave, also, his Pierrot dance, one of the big favorites of the Monday evening performance. Mile. Pavlowa's most beautiful dance of the afternoon and again at the evening performance was her L'Autumn Bacchanale, an impassioned care-free dance in the green woods. with grapes worn in her hair and the spirit of the harvest time incarnate in her smile and dance. Many of Pavlowa's admirers prefer this dance to her other famous one, "The Swan." She appeared in the title ' role of Amarilla, a- beautiful ballet drama founded on an episode in gypsy life aB related in an old Hungarian folk song. Chopinina is an entirely novel ballet arranged by M. Ivan Chestine, who arranged also the music and dances in Amarilla. The music In Chopinina was taken from Chopin's etudes, preludes, values and mazurkas. and offered nine distinct beautiful numbers presented by Mile. Pavlowa. M. Volinine, M. Chestine and the en tire company. M. Volinine s bow and arrow dance Is reminiscent of Mordkin and quite as lively as that artist's. "With M. Oukrainsky, Mile. Pavlowa gave a spirited dansante of the XVIII period, and the clever little Mile. Plaskovletzka, who Is next of impor tance to Pavlowa in the cast, was admired In a pastorale with Strauss music Artistically, financially, edu cationally and socially, the engage ment was a success.

The fireworks display will be of the grandest possible description, all the latest effects in pyrotechny being utilized. No grandstands have been built this year because of the complaint that many thousands were thereby pre vented from seeing the exhibition. Approximately J2000 will be spent on the fireworks display tomorrow night, and a similar sum Saturday night, when there will be another pro gramme of fireworks. BATTLE IS CONTINUOUS ACTIVITY IXCESSAJiT IX FLANDERS AXD FRANCE. JUST as there are many shades of roses, and different tlntlngs In rose leaves, there are many kinds of pian ists tnd different shadings and read ings of their scores. We have piano pounders. We have piano whisperers. Between these two extremes the path of piano safety lies, and here is where the piano talent of Miss Genevieve Frazer Is. She is a student of the fa mous Godowsky, of Vienna, and was quite busy with her studies with him when war broke out. She returned by way of Germany and England to this country. Miss Frazer is a daughter of the late Judge Frazer, and those of us who remember her as a student recall the fine progress she made in her art under the direction of J. R. Hutchi son, of this city. Miss Frazer made her first concert appearance since her return from Vi enna last night in Christensen's Hall, and charmed the large audience with her fine, polished piano playing. She i3 clearly gifted and schooled in this line to do big things. She is now so drilled and so competent in the piano art, that she is a real credit to ths musical community. She is quite a neat little artist. Both her choice of piano selections and her style of play ing them are on a high plane. She delights to play what are known in piano lore as "difficult things" such as the Bach "Suite in Q Minor." the Brahms "Capriccio in B Minor," the Reger "Three Humoresken" and the Debussy "La Soiree Dans Grenade" and make a hit. She did this last night. Her Bach. Brahms, Chopin and Liszt were soft, clearly expressed and deli cate. The fire and dynamics came out in the Reger, but over all the selec tions came the air of refinement and intellectually. Miss Frazer was cor dially greeted and applauded. "Well done" was often said to her. EDWIN WHITMAN IS DEAD Festival Song Author Passes Away at Age of 6 4. Edwin M.

French Report Added Gains In Famous Labyrinth Germans Get One Aero plane. British. Two. LONDOX, June 8. Official reports concerning the fighting in Flanders and France today indicate chiefly continuation of the general war policy of the last few days. Fighting has been continuous, however, over a con' siderable part of the front and it i: reported to have been exceedingly heavy at certain points. The names of Neuville-St. Vaast and the noted "labyrinth" continue to appear. At the first-named place the French cap tured some more houses. In the "laby rinth" they increased their progress slightly. There were violent German attacks, according to both Paris and Berlin, in the region of Hebuterne, where the French made gains Monday. Paris says the French are holding their ground in the face of reinforcements of two Ger man battalions brought up by automo bile. Berlin says of this engagement' simply: "The battle continues." Minor, but general, infantry attacks and almost Incessant artillery activity are reported from many other points. The Berlin report says a flying ma chine of the enemy was shot down. Offsetting this, a brief report by Field Marshal Sir John French, of the British forces, says: "We have brought down two Orerman aeroplanes, one opposite our right by gunfire, and the other in the neighborhood of x pres as the re suit of an engagement in the air with one of our aeroplanes."

Two big performances at the Baker Theater yesterday completed the en gagement of the incomparable Mile. Anna Pavlowa. At the matinee two divertissement and two ballets, Chopi from the ballet Coppelia were offered, and at the evening performance one divertissement and two ballots, Chope nina and Amarilla, were given. In Coppelia Mile. Pavlowa appeared as Swanhilda. with M. Volinine as Franz. She gave a series of three lively dances in this number, the first a variation of Slavonic themes, the sec ond a pus de deux and the third a coda, with her imperial ballet as a back ground In the dance. In the divertisse ment Mile. Pavlowa danced her mar velous and famous butterfly dance, ap are entitled to the refund provided by the city charter on sewer assessments levied in North and South Salem. The opinion reverses the Marion Circuit Court. James R. Neer, plaintiff. sold property ii North Salem with the pro vision that if the sewer assessment was decided to bo legal he would pay It. The sewer assessments tor South Salem subsequently were declared illegal and the charter was amended to pay for the sewers and refund to those having made payments. It is held by the Supreme Court that persons holding record legal title are entitled to the refund which in this instance was held by the defendant, Hattie Smith. Other opinions today were: Gorse Watkins vs. the Record Photo graphic Abstract Company, appellant; ap pealed from Coos County, suit for money; affirmed. Union Credit Association vs. J. M. P.

The policy of the United States toward Germany an insistence on the observance of neu tral rights and the safeguarding of the lives of Americans on the high seas was determined finally today at a Cabi net session. Secretary Brian's resignation had been submitted and accepted when the meeting convened, and he took little part In 'the discussion. The note, which is to be sent to Germany tomorrow, was read over for the last time to the Cabi net by President Wilson. Suggestions of some minor changes were noted by the President. The resignation of Mr. Bryan, who advocated a course that under no cir cumstances would Involve the United States in war. spread the impression that the President and his Cabinet had decided firmly that the rights of the United States must be upheld in. any eventuality that may arise. While no inkling as to the contents of the note was given, it is understood that an un favorable reply will mean the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany, and. that attacks on Americans there after might lead to even graver complications. The effect on the general situation of Secretary Bryan's withdrawal from the Cabinet was the subject of general comment everywhere. Foreign diplo matists Interpreted it as significant of a forceful course on the partof the United States. They were busy with their code books and cablegrams to night advising their respective govern ments of the Cabinet change and its significance. In Austro-German quarters, where there has been some confidence that Secretary Bryan's influence for peace would make impossible a rupture be tween the United States and Germany, the resignation of the Secretary caused much uneasiness. In other official and diplomatic quar ters the view was held that by accept ing the resignation of Mr. Bryan the President had demonstrated to Ger many his earnest intention, of secur ing reparation for the loss of American lives on the Lusitania and a guarantee against other violations of American rights. Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, called on Counselor Lan sing early in the day to Inform him that, although the embassy quarters had been removed, to Cedarhurst, L. L, he would remain here indefinitely to await a copy of the American note. Later in the day Mr. Lansing an nounced that the German embassy had transmitted two more affidavits of per sons who asserted they had overheard people say there were guns on the Lu sitania. Mr. Lansing indicated that the affidavits were not regarded as of Im Dortance. The Department of Justice has investigated and definitely decided that there were no guns on the Lusi tania. The report of this Investigation came to hand today and is believed to have been one of the things which delayed the American note. The President emphasized to callers early today that there had been no in tentional or unnecessary delay-in pre paring the document. He said many suggestions had been made by Mr. Bryan and. others, but that the general character of the note had not been mod ified. This was interpreted later as mean' lng that the Cabinet situation had been disposed of last week and that the de lay subsequent thereto was really due to details in the careful preparation of the phraseology of the note.
