Mrs. Bauer's wonderful gift of voice and the charming condescension with which she used it to please persons in every rank, and in every station brought her a personal following among the people of Portland prob ably unexampled by anyone. She was as ready to sing for the benefit of a company of deserving newsboys as she was to appear in the drawing-room of the social elect. She was equally capable on the concert stage and in the church choir, and she appeared with equal willingness and freedom at either. Thus Fhe endeared herself to all classes of people and her friends were legion. While the services at the Bauer residence this afternoon will be private, the services at the church will be open to the public. The simple ritual of the Jewish Church will be used. Edward Coureen will preside at the organ. Mrs. Klfreda Heller Welnstein has requested that all of Mrs. Bauer's pupils, as well as former pupils, at tend the funeral. Talrnln Early Were Noted. As a schoolgirl Mrs. Bauer began to attract the attention of music critics with the remarkable strength and beauty of her voice. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bloch, encouraged her in the development of her natural gift, And when she was but 17 they sent her to Vienna, where she studied and trained under some of the leading vocalists of that city. She was gradu ated after several years from the Vi enna Conservatory of Music. Upon her return from Europe she at once came into prominence. She had frequent offers of leading positions on the grand opera stage, but steadfastly declined rather than surrender the comfort and content of her home life. Her marriage to Cecil H. Bauer, a prominent Portland attorney, a few years following her return from Eu rope. Is remembered by her friends as a fine social event of that time. As the marriage ceremony was to change her name from Mixs Rose Bloch to Mrs. Rose Bauer, her friends conceived the idea of having the setting for the mar riage form a. pun on her name. Con sequently she was married under a bower of roses a rose bower. Patriotic Sons Often Inspired. One of her successes that brought lier additional offers from grand opera managers was her singing in the local rendition of Von Suppe'a opera "Fatihitza," in 1902. Hers was the so rrano part, while Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed sang contralto and the late Mil lard Lownsdale the baritone. One solo in which she attained spe cial success was "Inflammatus" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater. and her ei- , cellent rendition of the soprano part of the "Messiah" won for her added fame. Her greatest popular success, how ever, came through her "Star-Spangled Banner," which she sang with a spirit that seldom failed to thrill and to in spire her hearers. The public never tired hearing her in this popular pa triotic air and it invariably pleased Tier to sing it on appropriate occasions. Iter voice has been described as "a natural dramatic soprano, emanating from a great reservoir of music." She could King yet never lose strength. Youne Musician Helped. With these remarkable vocal qual ities she possessed, moreover, a kindly nature and a generous disposition that spread her popularity even beyond her musical circles. Scores of struggling young musi cians owe their rise in the world to the active personal interest in their welfare taken by Mrs. Bauer. Seldom did a deserving young man or young woman appeal to her in vain. Nearly very music store, moving-picture house, law office and many mercan tile institutions could tell its story of the aspiring young musician placed there through the influence of Mrs. Bauer to earn the means of obtaining an education. Her friends have said that she conducted a gratuitous em ployment agency for musicians. She. frequently said that she was happiest when appearing in some char itable entertainment. It was her delight to sing at the newsboys' benefit concerts. Not long ago she sang for the news boys. They thanked her profusely aft er the concert, but the following morn ing, as che explained it, "there was the same unkempt, but cheerful, gang at my door with a big bouquet. I never got any flowers that were sweet er to me than those." Church Cboirs Directed. Mrs. Bauer probably Is best known to many people as the director and so prano soloist in the choir of the First Congregational Church, which place fche filled for 14 years, and as di rector and soprano soloist in the choir of Temple Beth Israel, her own church. he filled both places, for 'some time simultaneously, but- about five years ago he resigned the place at the Con eregational Church. Meanwhile she appeared frequently as special soloist at Trinity Episcopal Church and at other Portland churches. Several years ago she was soloist for the Se attle Symphony Orchestra. Mrs. Bauer's parents and her husband, as well as the following other relatives, survive her: Mrs. I. L. White, of Port land, a sister, and Emilie Frances Bauer, Marion Bauer, Mrs. Alex Bern stein and Miss Minnie Bauer, all of New Tork. brother and sisters of her liusband. .

OPERETTA IS PRESENTED Anniversary of Father Black's Ordi nation Celebrated and Parish ioners Make Priest Present of Well-mied Purse. Closing exercises of St. Francis' Academy and the celebration of the 22d anniversary of the ordination of Rev. J. H. Black, rector of the parish, to the priesthood, were held jointly last night at St. Francis' Church, East Twelfth and East Pine streets. The six young girls receiving diplomas from the eighth grade were Helen Altstock, Isabella Macgenn, Esther Lynch. Waunetta Gottsacker, Margaret Fennel and Frances Altstock. A gen eral musical programme was opened with "Triumphal March," by Misses T. Lund and O. Sauvain, and a violin solo, "II Trovatore." by Misses H. Little jobns and. G. Littlejohns. Then followed the operetta, "In a Flower Garden." The programme was as follows: Accompaniment In variations. T. Lund; "Evening Hour," G. Yv'ackrow and K. Lynch: "Birds' Chorus," I.

II. Black, Whose 2-d Ordination Aoslvers- Is Cele brated at St. Francis' Academy Cloning Kxrrclses. came the celebration in honor of Father Black, a part in the programme that took him by surprise. F. Suren explained to the surprised priest what this "number" on the pro gramme signified and after enumer ating the many things Father Black had been guilty of, presented him with a substantial sum of money, as a token of the high esteem in which he is held in St. Francis' parish and community. Father Black was assigned to St. Francis' parish about 12 years ago, when the congregation met in the old frame church that stood on East Eleventh and East Pine streets. Only about half the congregation could as semble at a time and Father Black early saw the need of a more adequate church, and the present white church, conspicuous with its silver cross from every part of the city, was erected. Father Black's parish has made rapid progress and St. Francis' Academy has developed under his direction. Jail System Criticised. Cnanges In the system of handling prisoners at the City Jail are recom mended 'to the City Council by Public Defender Robinson In a report sub mitted yesterday for May. The report shows the handling 01 242 cases during the month in addition to the giving of legal advice in many cases where per sons were unable to pay for such service. The system of restraining prisoners is criticised. "Men Held Under In vestigation." says Mr. Robinson, "are denied the use of the telephone, are not permitted to communicate with friends or counsel and are held two and three days without any complaint whatsoever being filed. This is con trary to law. "Men. held as fugitives are kept in jail for long periods, in one instance 17 days, without formal complaint being filed aa prescribed by the laws of this state. The use of tobacco is denied prisoners awaiting trial or 'held under investigation' or fugitives. To men accustomed to smoking this is a great hardship. "The Ynen unfortunate enough to have untidy clothing, and that class is In the' majority here, are confined in large cells with steel walls and cement floors and nothing combustible therein except possibly alcoholic exhalations. The prisoners I mention here have not as yet been convicted of violating any law with the exception of the fugi tives." CHARITY BOARD FORMED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUREAU TO SYSTEMATIZE WORK. Applications of Persona or Organiza tions to Be Passed On and. If Worthy, to Receive Approval. Announcing its readiness to receive and pass on applications from Individ uals which hope to solicit charitable contributions from members of the Portland Chamber of Commerce during the coming year, the board of chari ties and employment, a division of the civic bureau of which Dean Vincent is president, yesterday completed its or ganization. The temper of the meeting indicated that, while every effort will be made to assist worthy charity plans, the board will insist upon clear infor mation concerning every such move ment before leandlng its approval. It was announced that the board would not act hastily, neither would it give a tentative approval. In every action It would be positive and act only after careful investigation. Blanks are being printed upon which applications will be filed. The charac ter of information required relates to the nature of the service it is proposed to give to the poor or distressed, esti mates of the amounts of money re quired for the fiscal year of the as sociation making the application, the amounts paid out in salaries and oper ating expenses, the dates of the fiscal year for which application is made, the system of accounting employed by the association affected, whether an accounting will be made and to whom, whether objection will be made to an audit of books and whether the money is to be expeuded In Portland and Ore gon or in some foreign spot. It Is more the purpose of the board of charities and employment to sys tematize the charities of Portland than to hamper them, but it appeared to be the idea of the Chamber of Commerce members at the meeting that dozens of schemes of little merit would be forced to secure their contributions from sources outside the membership of that body. At the same time it was announced by J. Fred Larson that the official signs to be placed in the business houses of members of the Chamber would be ready for distribution today. The board organized with M. N. Dana as chairman, the other members being E. Henri Labbe. Bishop W. T. Sumner, L. J. Goldsmith, L. L. Levings, Nelson G. Pike and David S. Steam's. Applications may be made through the civic bureau, of which Mark Wood ruff is acting secretary, or to Chairman Dana. OREGON PASTOR HONORED Evangelical Lutheran Gathering; Elects Rev. H.

FESTIVAL FILMS MADE COPIES SEST TO SAJT KRAJTCISCO FOR DISPLAY POIITLASD DAT. Pictnrea Alio Will Be Used to Tell East ern People of City's Wonders, and Work Declared Perfect. One of the big attractions at the Ore gon State building on Portland day at the Panama-Pacific Exposition will be a complete set of moving pictures of the parades which tens of thousands ap plauded during the Rose Festival last week. The Chamber of Commerce sent forward the films last night. They are in two rolls of 1000 feet each, and will take 50 minutes to produce. It is the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce to utilize other copies of the films in advertising Portland in the East. Plans are being worked out by Secretary Frank E. Smith to that end. The films do not follow the exact or der of the programme of the Rose Car nival, but open with views of some of the individual flower displays at the Festival Center. Soft-petaled roses, en larged to 10 feet In diameter, nod their perfections from the screen, and then quickly the scene shifts to the wonder ful beauties of the grounds, no people being present. Then come the crowds as they surged into the Center and as they passed to the crowning of Queen Sybil and the folk dances by Portland children. The Rosebud parade Is shown with the 4000 children in motion, dancing, waving flags and capering over the splendid streets of the East Side, and then comes the complete entourage of the Queen in the vehicle parade. Hav ing ideal weather conditions for their work, it is declared that the American Llfeograph Company turned out its mas terpiece when its cameras focused on the attractive machines in this parade. Capping the pictures comes the floats of the electric parade, the only time these wonderful creations have ever been successfully filmed. To get them the young women who rode in charac ter on the floats dressed the parts again on Saturday morning and the floats were run out and again illuminated. Taken before the dark green back ground of the City Park entrance, they have every appearance of the night pageant. The films will remain In San Fran cisco for two weeks.

OF FIRE 27 PIA A splendid assortment of Pianos, ordered 30 days ago, by Gil bert's Piano House for its opening sale in Portland, has arrived late, via the steamer Pennsylvanian, in a damaged condition. A serious fire in the hold of the Pennsylvanian, while in the harbor of Balboa, Panama, damaged much of the cargo, but not so much by fire as by steam in quenching the fire. Sdme of the Pianos are considerably damaged, while others are in perfect condition; but all of them are to be sold at about a total loss prices. The insurance adjusters have made a uniform settlement for each Piano. This means a high-grade, brand-new Piano (some Fischers, Voses and Kohlers in the lot) at surprisingly little money. We make this statement, with not a particle of exaggeration here it is: From one hundred to two hundred dollars saved on an upright piano of standard make, if bought at Gilbert's during this sale. It should not take more than four or five days to sell these twenty-seven pianos. TERMS Most liberal terms for payment. If out of town, write for information.
