King
A
A sorrowing- multitude filled Temple
Beth Israel, Thirteenth and Main
Btreets, yesterday afternoon to pay last
tribute of respect to the memory of
the late Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer. The
house was crowded to the doors by
friends of the dead singer and their
grief was manliest.
Services conducted by Rabbi Jonah
B. Wise were simple and impressive.
To the altar rail, banked high with
flowers, was borne the body of Mra.
Bauer to the accompaniment of "Chan
son Trieste" (Tsachaikowsky), softly
played by Professor Edgar E. Coursen,
who for many years has been accom
panist for the departed soloist.
To the left of the altar entered Rabbi
and Mrs. J. Bloch, parents of Mrs.
Bauer; Cecil H. Bauer, her widower;
Mrs. I. L. White, a sister, and Nathan
Simon, a cousin.
Comfort ins; Thought Sngseated.
Rabbi Wise read a short scriptural
selection, after which he recited the
poem, -He Giveth His Beloved Sleep,"
and in the remarks that followed he
sought to comfort his hearers with the
thought that they should give thanks
for such a beautiful life and count it
as a gift from heaven, rather than to
be overborne by grief that God had
taken her back to himself again.
"We should give thanks that God
has given us such a divine gift," he
said, "but, although when one we cher
ished is taken from us we weep re
bellious tears, we are thankful that he
has given us one of such charm and
beauty.
"Now that he has called her to him
in the full flower of her strength and
beauty, we shall always remember her
as she would want to be remembered,
as in her prime and vigor.
"Memory to Rtmnli."
"Although our sweet singer is no
longer with us in the body, she will
always be with us in fond memory and
In the spirit."
A prayer followed, and as the body
was carried from the church, followed
by Rabbi Wise, reading the scriptures,
Professor Coursen played Batiste's
funeral march.
There were so many associations of
Mrs. Bauer with Temple Beth Israel in
the minds of those who filled the place
that grief at her loss was made the
more poignant. For years she was
soloist in the choir, and at her accus
tomed place yesterday there hung a
beautiful wreath veiled in black.
Kabbi Wise referred to the fact that
the sacred walls of the temple had re
echoed often to the sound of her beau
tiful voice. At the altar of Beth Israel,
too. Miss Rose Bloch was married to
Cecil H. Bauer 16 years ago. At that
time her father, J. Bloch, was rabbi
of Temple Beth Israel.
Many Musicians Present.
In the company assembled were many
family friends, members of Congrega
tion Beth Israel, musical students who
mourned their teacher, prominent musi
cians of the city who had a deep love
for their late associate, and many who
came because of their deep admiration
and affection for the splendid qualities
of Mrs. Bauer.
Floral tributes were remarkable for
their number and great beauty. Among
the larger pieces were represented the
Concordia Club, the pupils of Mrs.
Bauer, Harmony Lodge of Masons, the
Federation of Musicians and others,
while wreaths and masses of fragrant
blossoms were sent in large numbers
by Borrowing friends.
A long cortege of autos, carrying a
great number of people, followed the
body to Cemetery Beth Israel, where
interment took place.
Services Held at Grave.
Rabbi Wise conducted a ritual serv
ice at the grave, which was deeply
covered with beautiful flowers.
Private services at the Bauer home,
130 Nineteenth street North, conducted
by Rabbi Wise at 1:30 o'clock, preceded
the public funeral at 2 o'clock.
The active pallbearers were: S.
Hirsch, M. S. Hirsch, Sol Baum, I. Kosh
land, Leon Hirsch and 1L Sichel.
The honorary pallbearers were: A.
"Wolfe, E. Ehrman, I. N. Fleischner,
Edgar B. Piper, T. G. Green, A. Felden
heiraer, Dr. Gustav Baar and F. M.

New Duties. In City Ticket Office
and Seattle Will Have Simi

Enter now the woman passenger
agent.
Portland is to be the first city in
the country In which she is to practice
her untried profession.
Beginning tomorrow Miss Estelle

quarters in the city ticket office at
Third and Washington streets.
Simultaneously Miss Edna Flynn la
to begin similar duties for the same
company at Seattle. . Women passenger
agents also will be appointed within
the next few weeks at Spokane and
Tacoma.
In appointing women to sell tickets
and solicit passenger business, the
O.-W. R. & N. Company is introducing
an innovation that heretofore has not
been tried In this country.
Because woman has invaded almost
every other field in the business world,
traffic officials of the company be
lieve that she has a rightful place in
the railroad world.
Dafles May Extend Later.
While the duties of these young
women will consist primarily in caterT
ing to women patrons in the various
city ticket offices, it is intended that
soon they will take their places as
passenger solicitors, particularly where
women travelers are concerned.
Eventually, it is believed, women
will take their places as traveling pas
senger agents, catering especially to
the patronage of Women.
In making these appointments the
company has instructed the young

The two girls spent the early
years of their lives together at

Miss Northlane scored a big

accommodation of women who visit the
city ticket offices whether such visit
ors be in quest of tickets or of infor
mation of an unrelated character.
They are expected to become ver
itahle bureaus of information so far
as the wants of women are concerned.
Traffic officials of the company be
lieve that this step will lead to a regu
larly organized women's department in
the passenger offices, and that it may
cover the freight field as well.
Walla Walla Girl Innpirca.
For several years Miss Myrta Baker,
chief clerk in the company's district
office at Walla Walla, has been devot
ing part of her time to the solicitation
of freight and passenger business, and
it Is admitted by officials in Portland
that the company was inspired to its
recent move by the record of her suc
cess. Her duties are unlike those
prescribed for the new appointees,
however, as she created her own field
for her work, and does not confine her
solicitations to women patrons ex
clusively. Miss Macaulay, who will fill the
Portland office, for the last seven years
has been assistant to Arthur C. Spen
cer, general attorney for the company.
She has a thorough understanding of
the company s affairs and of the terri
tory served by the O.-W. R. & N. lines
generally. ,

she said last night, "but I believe it
will be a delightful and interesting

"We hope the public and especially
the women will appreciate this serv
ice," say the company officials.
DRUG ACT IS EFFECTIVE
FEDERAL OFFICERS FIXD CRIME
LESSENS AND SALES FEWER.
Activity of Authorities Makes Habit
Forming? Narcotics Hard to Get,
Say Prosecutors.
Although the new Federal drug law,
known as the Harrison act, has been
In operation only since March 1, Fed
eral authorities say its beneficial ef
fects in lessening the use of habit
forming drugs already are apparent.
"Two specific examples show the
general trend," said Robert R. Rankin,
Assistant United States Attorney, yes
terday. "Federal officers have re
ported that in raids they no longer find
quantities of opium, morphine or co
caine about the places raided. Not long
ago a man gave himself up to the Fed
eral authorities and asked to be locked
up until he got over the cravings for
morphine. He has since been released
and seems to have overcome the habit.
"There is no doubt that since the
Harrison law became operative it is
harder, very much harder, for drug
addicts to get drugs. Federal, state
and municipal officers are pressing
hard on the trail of those who traffic
in drugs. Under the Harrison law,
these persons can be fined J2000 and
sentenced to five years' in the peniten
tiary. "Instead of resulting in more crime,
especially on the part of drug addicts
crazed for want of morphine, cocaine
or opium, there really seems to be less
crime attributable to drug users than
before."
The Government so far has had only
five cases under the Harrison act in
Portland. Complaints in throe of these
cases were filed yesterday, after three
negroes, arrested in raids by deputy
anemia ana ponce, naa Deen found
guilty in the Municipal Court.

a home for any ee or allof them is
Imperative.
The boys are 5, 6 and 8 years old
and the girl is 11, and strong and
active.
The boys are rugged, husky youths
able to make their own way and more,
if they. had. a home, where they, would.

Mrs. Thoroman is anxious to hear
from anyone who wants to nil a gap in
their home, and is especially desirous
of getting the boys placed. It is not
so difficult to find homes for girls for
some psychological reason.
