CO-OPERATIONINAID OF NEEDY ADVISED Chamber Committee Urges Re organization of Municipal i Employment Bureau. PUARITICO Dl A HI r" r" r" r" I rtiand folR who don't believe in hid unAnl MtCS PLAN OFFERED llnS whatever light one has under the Requirements for Indorsement of "Work Listed and Elimination of Duplication of Efforts Considered In letaiL Recommendations that all charities of the city be centralized and the work carried on under the direction of a governing board have been made to the Chamber of Commerce by the commit tee on charities and employment of the civic bureau of that organization. consisting of the following members: Marshall Dana, chairman; David S, Stearns, Bishop W. T. Sumner, L. J. Goldsmith, C. Henri Labbe and L. L. Levings. The report follows: "Investigation for the twofold purpose or me scope or welfare, work in the L"f learning details ot each organiza tion, has been made. This covers Institu tions, as well as societies or nririitil7flHnn distributing material relief or giving servioi relief. It has covered between 60 and 70 organizations, special attention was paid to uiut. or duplication ana methods of elim inating the same. Survey Covers Details of Work. - "The survey covered financial reports, de tails or work and management. Visits were mane 10 an institutions. Temporary In dorsement is granted upon the basis of facts uiuus'ii out oy tnis survey. Too Indorse menu now being granted will hold only until January J, 1916. The committee has made out and adopted no luuuwing requirements to bo met by charities wishing renewed indorsements on the date abnve mentioned. "1. All charitable organizations seeking aid from members of the Chamber of Com merce shall apply to the Committee ' of Charities and Employment for indorsement. The organization applying for Indorsement shall fill a recognized need and shall be doing a work at least commensurate with its uost. "2. Plans for a proposed new organization must be submitted to the Committee of Charities and Employment, for approval bo fore such are put Into operation, not after. A copy of the constitution and bylaws and a ccpy of any change In these, by both old and new organizations, shall be filed with the Committee of Charities and Employ ment, Requirements Are Pointed Out. "3. Permanent organization only will be Indorsed. Such organizations must have an administrative committee or board of man agers composed of local people of repute, actually In control of the institution and duiy elected or otherwise authorized, who shall meet at least quarterly. These or ganizations must have formal minutes of meetings and records of transactions open to Investigation of the committee. "4. No member of the staif who receives rompeneatton In any form for service In the organization shall be a member of the governing board. "S. The organization shall furnish an audit and statement of its affairs prepared by a certified public accountant, or such other audit as shall be deemed by the com mittee to be equivalent to that of the cer tified public accountant: and the organiza tion shall file with the committee a copy of lts last annual report. The1 operation of the organization and Its accounts shall always be open to th-a Investigation of ac credited representatives of the committee. "8. Funds raised for charities shall not be collected by such methods as have been proved by experience to be harmful to the general charitable work of the city. The Chamber Is opposed to tho raising of money through entertainments, advertisements, or other schemes where a large part of the receipts go -elsewhere than to the benefit of the organization; or where an excessive percentage is paid to solicitors or col lectors. The methods employed In raising funds shall be approved by this committee and indorsement will be rescinded or re fused if these do not meet the committee's approval. Commission Provided Against. "7. No commission in any form shall be paid to any -employe or solicitor, except with the approval of the Committee of Charities and Employment. "8. The organization shall agree to co operate with other charitable Institutions In preventing the duplication of effort anrf In promoting -efficiency and economv of the administration In the charities of the city, a a whole. The committee recommends that organizations giving relief, register Identifying Information regarding their cases with a confidential exchange approved by this committee and reserves the right to- require such registration. "This committee aspects to do more, how ever, than merely granting Indorsements. It has in mind constructive work which will do away with much of the duplications re sulting In waste or effort as well as ma terial aid. "An example of this may be seen by the report of tho different agencies distributing material aid. This shows that last year more than $55,000 was distributed with uo system or co-operation. Central Bureau Declared Need. "The most urgent need for carrying on this work is a central bureau where all cases with identifying information are reg istered dally. By this means much time as well as waste distribution will be elim inated. "The committee hopes, furthermore. In cases of institutions or organizations doing exactly the same work, to eliminate over head expense .by some form of co-operation of management. "In institutions doing a special work ot which there are more than there Is need for, some combination will be urged. "Charitable organizations have reported finding more than 6000 jobs last Winter. This work should all be 'done by the Munic ipal Kmployment Bureau. The report of the Municipal Employment Bureau shows that 10,022 Jobs were furnished last year. The. committee expects to require, with the proper reorganization of the municipal bureau, that al! charities turn over their employment work to this bureau. . Duplica tion of effort can readily be seen 1n 60 or 70 charitable organizations maintaining em ployment bureaus, each seeking work for the unemployed. Reorganization Necessity Cited. "It might be well to add here that while the committee, as shown in this report, recognizes the need and recommends the continuance of a Municipal Employment Bureau, the necessity for reorganization of the present bureau has become more ap parent as, the investigation goes on. "As will be seen by a reading of the re quirements for indorsement, the committee opposes the payment of an excessive per centage for collection of funds for charitable use. We have found one organization that paid S3 per cent commission. We would rather no commissions were paid. We hope eventually to establish some federation of charities which will centralize solicitation for contributions. "This committee has a clause In its re quirements which tends to eliminate the springing up of temporary organizations for which there Is no actual seed. Only Four Indorsed So Far. "So far, but four charities have been In dorsed. This does not mean, however, that no more will be Indorsed, but that others have not yet received final consideration. "An example showing the grounds upon which lndorsen:.i.t has been refused Is of importance here: "One organization in this city showed an Income of approximately $20,000. Of this but $1162.3o is shown to have gone to actual charity More than $9000 went for purchase of property, $4!93.4 for salaries, over $1000 for' rent, and more than 60 was sent out ot the city while the balance went for ex penses In keeping up various departments of th-e work. -No detailed report of charit able work done by them was obtained. The organization, furthermore, professes to have a religious department. They report, how ever, that It was necessary to close their mission on account of lack of funds. "If the committee feels In doubt as to the Justness o refusing an Indorsement, the superintendent or some one. In authority is asked to appear at a committee meeting; and explain in detail the work carried, out. Mo SCOTTS REAL SCOTTISH IN CLEVER LYRIC ACT Interesting Tale Told of How Ability Becomes Recognized and Latter Com mercialized and How Audiences' Are Mesmerized. BY LEONE CASS BAER. CRISPLY humorous, brightly laugh able, Just the sort of thing needed In vaudeville Is the little act offered by the two Scotts, who launched their ship on the sea of entertainment last nroeir at the Lyric The two Scotts. or The Sontts they prefer to bill them.wlm. r. proveroiai ousnei as long as one can receive money lor it. For years W. K. Scott has sung his gay Scotch ballads, and told Scotch stories and danced the bare-kneed hula at divers meetings of the clans. And Mrs. Scott, though Scottish only by marriage, fell merrily into entertaining mood when the bag pipes yodeled. All this, mind you, for the sheer fun. of the thing. Then, one day, the commercial instinct which bites all of us at some time or. another, bit the two Scotts, simultaneously. They would sell their singing and sass. And in the meantime as the explana tory lines on the motion picture screen says in the meantime, Lyn Udall had written a sketch with intentional musi cal interruptions. Lyn Udall has drODDed into fame con siderable, once for writing "Just as the Sun Went Down." again for "Juat One Girl," and anon for " Stay in Your Own Back Yard," not forgetting his collaboration with Dean Collins in "My Red Cross Girl." Mr. Udall had a sketch, his brother Larry Keating (for Lyn Udall is none other than Jack Keating) had a theater and could book the act, the Scotts had the talent, the time and the inclination. So they all got together and worked out a capital little act. They called it "To the Front," but it held none of the accusation of unfairness justifiably be made. can, therefore. Minutes of Meeting: Required. "To do away with fne habit of influentla people lending- their names to societies a! board of directors, without actually know- ins: as to the control of affairs, the Com mittee or Charities has made the reauire ment that societies wishing: indorsement keep formal minutes of their meetings showing- that the board of directors are in actual control, with meetings at least quarterly. The necessity ior tnia was seen in case of one organization from which indorsement waa withheld. Some of the directors were told of conditions which thoy had no idea ex isted. "That the committee is receiving- the sup port of the members of the chamber is shown by the numerous calls received ask ing the standing- of certain specific chari ties. Furthermore, ortranizatfons not vet In dorsed are being- refused the support of members. Thia is, of course, necessary if the . committee is to accomplish its purpose in eliminating duplication and waste in the cnarlties of Portland. SiNGlHG WDLFIS FEATUHE JOHS A. WEST BRINGS ATTRAC TION" TO EMPRESS. Brnln Is Declnred to Have Fine Kotes Than Human Being and Carrying: Capacity Wonderful. When John A. West, the trainer of singing animals, talks of great per formers he has known, he means four footed creatures which have vocal pos sibilities, and particularly wolves. Mr. West never speaks of human singers as being in the same category as musical animals. The trainer con tends that the notes of the voice of the common, ordinary timber wolf are far finer than anything that ever came out of a human throat, and today he expects to prove it. Mr. West is bring ing Mis famous singing wolf to the Empress for the week and will give the first performance today. "I know a lot of Portland peoDle will think that this is a human being n the skin of a wolf, but I assure you this is no Red Riding Hood act." said Manager Conlon. "It is a real wolf, and the brute actually attempts to sing the notes his trainer gives him. Mr. West began his study of the wolf to determine In what way the animal was enabled to send his call to such distances and with auch clearness. t I 4 I J John A. West, Who Teaches Ani- t mala to Sing. ........... ...... ....,..,4 His voice- will carry farther than that of any other animal, as men who have been in the big timber or in the North will testify. Mr. West wanted to apply his knowledge to teaching voice culture. Then he discovered the love of the wolf for music and he started out to teath him a scale. "The v.-olf will be here to sing for himself." TAMPICO OIL FIELD OPEN Shipments from Mexican Port Reach Record Since Jamiary, 1914. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 More crude oil was shipped from Tampico.

Thev exchnns-o Harrylauderish observations and carry v,i Buiiieuuug acanaaious in a Quaker Oats atmosphere. Mr. Scott appears as a Gordon Highlander, with all the pep aim oangung ornaments and fuzzy wnisKDrooms and tartans and plaids and what-nots of the land of the iiestner. Mrs. Scott is dainty and demure and displays fascinating ankles and Indi viduality as a Red Cross nurse with labels of her order on her Immaculate white gown and cap. She sings in a sweet, clear soprano . "Comln' Thru the Rye" and "My Red Cross Girl." and after she strikes up a stage acquaint ance with the braw Scotsman she plays the piano with a personal punch the whilst her husband sings. And how that big "Hoot mon" In the abbreviated skirt can sing: Rolls his r-r-rs richly and takes a nip o' the wee craythur! He sings topical and typical Scotch ballads., and his audi ence howls at the stories he tells. Then, as a wind-up for the clean little act. the two depart in a burst of patriotic melody. In "We're With Yon iTn,-i Sammy, to a Man" Lyn Udall has writ ten what must prove one of the timely, pertinent and most musical sons- nf day. The melody incorporates bits of patriotic airs and there's a lovely run of "Yankee Doodle" In one line. The nature of the ballad' is told in Its title, and the two Scotts step it off and sing it with vigor and vim.

BRYAN ALSO NAMED Foss Declares ex-Secretary Went to Boston to Offset Disclosures That Germans Planned to Tie Vp Shipping. BOSTON, Sept. 19. (Special.) Ex Governor Foss. In a letter to Secretary Lansing., Saturday attacked the com blned liquor interests of the United States, charging them with aiding a conspiracy to subvert the institutions of this country for their Teutonic con nections. His charges also described William Jennings Bryan as coming to Boston at the psychological moment to offset recent exposures which showed Boston as a hotbed of German propagandists and the place where a general atriicA ana ue-up of the shipping interests of the country was planned. Mr. Foss says in part: "There is, however, one manifestation of this movement with reference to wnicn 1 desire to make my position public. Coincident with the close of my campaign for National prohibition is the arrival of a former first Minister of state of the United States to speak in the largest onen-air Knnr-o avmiauie on tne question of peace in Europe. It is no secret that the Ameri can statesman is worklnir in co-onars. tion with the friends in America of one of the European powers with which the relations of the United States, to i"i it muaiy, are somewhat strained. i uesire to call your attention to the enclosed advertisement published at great expense in the Boston news papers, in which the recantation by the statesman or his former declaration in favor of prohibition is noted. The lan guage is as follows: " 'I hope that National prohibition will not be an issue in the campaign of 1916. I prefer to see the campaign fought out upon the economic Issues which divide the leading parties.' "This is announced upon the eve of the arrival of this distinguished citi zen and upon the eve of a primary elec tion in this commonwealth upon the question of National prohibition." brioehSWin'aih AVIATOR'S SUIT FOR HAND OF FAIR PASSENGER SUCCEEDS. Acquaintance Bearun In Breezy Manner Leads to Pretty Wedding After ' Thrilling Auto Ride. ' NEW TORK, Sept. 1L Following an acquaintance begun In a breezy manner. a proposal made and accepted in an aeroplane 5000 feet above the earth and a courtship of 90 days, Miss L. Bella Hopkins, said to be beautiful and of a wealthy Baltimore family, and Freder ick A. Thompson, ot 10 Manhattan ave nue, aviator and member of the Aero Club, were married in Yonkers. According to the version which hiss friends say Mr. Thompson confided to them of his sudden ascent to the shrine of domestic joy, uncontrollable destiny was responsible. He was watching trial flights near Mineola, L. I., on Au gust 20, when he saw a Japanese avi ator plunging to earth. Impelled only to give quickest aid to the injured, Mr. Thompson leaped into the nearest auto mobile and put on high speed. Until he reached the spot -of the aviator's descent and found he needed no assistance Mr. Thompson scarcely noticed he had a companion on his ride. Then he saw that in the car he had appropriated was a beautiful young woman. From that moment, he said. Sir Romance bravc-ly began business in a way that made his heart jump and flutter. The involuntary companion of his ride was Miss Hopkins, and it was her automobile, which she immediately proceeded to show him she could drive better than he. Two days later Mr. Thompuson took Miss Hopkins for her firet aeroplane flight. As they soared a mile above Hempstead Plains he said he fidgeted about for a few minutes and then pro posed. The smile which wreathed his fair passenger's lips told him their af fections corresponded. The descent he thereupon made went down as his swiftest of record. The marriage of Miss Hopkins and Mr. Thompson took place, as their ac quaintance had begun, after & dash In an automobile. A high-powered racing automobile followed by a touring car stopped at the Yonkers City Hall. From the first automobile stepped Mr. inompson and Miss Hopkins and from the second a man who said he was Rob ert Grosvenor. The trio hurried into the office of the marriage license bureau. Mr. Thompson ioiq jonn Lreary. clerk, he and Miss Hopkins were eager to be married at nign noon, and while he was filling In tne license' they would be grateful If he would have some one on the way to perform the ceremony. Mr. Geary telephoned to D. Ralph Dedrick, Alderman, and then began the series of questions which the law requires. Answer followed question mun mecnanicai smoothness until the clerk asked Miss Hopkins where she lived. After a moment's indecision she said. "Oh. say Getty Square." Mr. Geary was about to ask her to be more explicit, but, as he explained after ward, when he saw her blushing to her lonr eyelashes, he quailed and dropped the subject. She said she was born at Brldgeton, N. J., and wa the daughter of John C. and Margaret Jordan Hopkins. Miss Hopkins gave her age as 26 and Mr. Thompson said he was 33. Mr. Dedrick arrived as the clock struck 12 and five minutes later the nuptial party emerged and started in the direction of this city. Mr. Grosvenor was one witness. Mr. Thompson since has been missing from his haunts. At his home his mother said he had not been there in several days; that he knew nothing of his marriage and never had heard of Miss Hopkins. His sister said the marriage was news to her. Poverty Leads to Divorce. CHICAGO. Sept. 9. "To marry a man that has not a goodly income is an eco nomic error on the part of any woman' Such was the philosophy to which Mrs. Florence burr gave expression, accord ing to Roy E. Burr, in a suit for divorce filed In Circuit Court. He says they were married in 1910, and shortly thereafter Mrs. Burr made It plain she was far from satisfied on a financial basis, and later deserted him.

Prone Animal on Slippery Street Ten dered Glass of Water and It Kicks Off Slippers and Stays Down. Traffic on Sixth street north of Washington street was practically blocked for an hour Saturday night by a horse which fell while pulling a scav enger wagon and was unable to re gain Its feet. More than 600 persons. including many women, witnessed at tempts to get the animal up and mem bers of the Humane Society expressed Indignation, inasmuch as the city's sand sprinkler stands Idle In the city barns. The driver first brought sacks and wrapped them around the horse's feet and removed the harness, but the horse was tired by Its previous efforts and its attempts to rise were feeble. Robert Tucker, a directos of the Oregon Hu mane Society, brought the driver a shoe to cover the animal's hoof. 'Put on his slippers!" shouted a by stander. Another wag suggested that the horse be charged 23 cents and al lowed to remain for the night. Some practical joker carried a glass of water from a saloon and offered the animal a drink. The shoe was kicked off when the horse moved. Next the driver sprinkled the street with sand. The horse panted from its struggles. Many said it was hurt badly. Finally the police summoned an am bulance to take charge of the horse. Dobbin, however, didn't want to go to a hospitaL When the ambulance came through the crowd, up went Dob bin's ears and his tail began to swish around with signs of returning interest. Then, when the ambulance finally stopped, Dobbin waited no longer and did what everyone had been trying for an hour to make him do got up. 'This is a pitiful occurrence and a sad commentary on the City of Port land," said Mr. Tucker, after the ani mal was relieved.
