A plan launched at yesterday's meet ing of the Portland Realty Board for a celebration in Portland of the As toria rate decision was vigorously op posed, and the matter was referred to the Board's executive committee. Immediately after the resolution had l'tten presented by C Lewis Mead. J. V. Daly, chairman of the shipping andi transportation committee, which han-j died the recent campaign of the Board; in support of the Astoria arguments, remarked that the question, should be handled carefully. "There are some phases of the As toria rate decision that are not favor able to Portland." said Mr. Daly. "Cer tain statements ir the decision are scri u us to Portland, and anything: that would tend to express Portland's in dorsement of the decision would be ill advised." Mr. Mead's idea was to request the Chamber of Commerce to hold a cele bration in Portland and invite dele gations from all parts of Oregon and Kastern Washington to participate. Following considerable discussion, all of which was opposed to Mr. Mead's motion, the matter was referred to the executive committee by unanimous vote. A definite plan was outlined yester day to bring- the convention of the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges to Portland in 1919. In se lecting President Taylor and Secretary Cowgiil to represent the Portland Board at the 1916 convention to be held at New Orleans March 27T31, the Board instructed them to endeavor to bring the convention to Portland the next time It comes to the Pacific Coast. Since the 1915 convention was held at Los Angeles it is not thought Port land can hope to get it until 1919. Samuel Collyer, of Seattle, assured the members of the Board that the Seattle realty men, thankful for Port land's support in Seattle's fight for the 1915 convention, would be glad to help Portland bring the "real estaters" here. In 1919. Mr. Collyer is ex-president of the Seattle Realty Board, active president of the Washington State Realty Asso ciation and member of the executive committee of the National association. He came to Portland yesterday as the personal representative of Walter U. Piper, the National president. The Board voted yesterday to change Its meeting place this week from the Chamber of Commerce dining-room to the Oregon Grille. LODGE HOLDS JUBILEE HIIXTVOMAH CAMP, 77.

Sunset "The Magic Skin." THE new censorship regime is thus far an unqualified success, the performances of the Portland cen sorship or appeal board, with its corps of viewers, meeting with the appro bation of public and motion picture men. That the censorship board of seven members is a bona fide appeal board these days is evidenced by its rulings on six recently-viewed films. In these six instances the viewers condemned the pictures in their entirety. Ex hibitor or film exchange man then in voked the higher powers. Mrs. Colwell, secretary of the board, called meetings, and in five of the six instances the films were approved by the board four with eliminations and the fifth with out change. "The Fool's Revenge." a Fox offer ing is the only film ostracized under the new order of things. Those con demned by viewers and later approved by the board of censors are: "Race Suicide." a six-reel feature released through Farnham; "The Janitor's Joy ful Job," one-reel Mutual-Novelty; Mr. Bumps. Commuter." one-reel Mutual Noveltv; "The Strength of the Weak, Blue Bird, five reels; "Twenty Minutes at the Fair." one-reel, L-KO. Partly because he believes that the silent is a step ahead of the spoken drama, and partly through an intense desire to see himself as others have seen him on the speaking stage. In ward H Sothern, foremost Shake spearean actor on the English-speaking stage today, is the latest to succumb to the lure of motion pictures. This is regarded as the most import ant in significance since the pictures began to rival the spoken drama in in terest. Other speaking stage players have deserted the stage under the spell of money lure and other considerations, but when a man of Sothern s promi nence in theaterdom consents to ap pear on celluloid, the final breastwork of the enemy is down. "Vp to recently." said Sothern, tn confirming the announcement that he had signed a contract with the Vita graph Company of America, I regarded motion pictures as comparatively un important as compared with the speak ing stage. I considered the screen s limitations as regards the voice of the actor, as being too great a handicap. How on earth. I thought, could the im mortal Shakespeare be produced, with out the speaking of every one of his lines' "I am convinced now. however, that thi combined use of subtitles and lip movements will more than offset this handicap. Then I considered the tre mendous scope in the matter of scenic portrayal and I am now on my way to become a picture actor. "In the theater I appear before sev eral hundreds possibly a thousand or two, six nights a week for a matter of 40 weeks. In the pictures I am told I will appear before hundreds of thou sands every afternoon and every even ing. The temptation was too strong." Sothern signed the contract after he had announced that he would retire from the stage at the end of the pres ent season. Mrs. Sothern (Julia Mar lowe) is not to be seen with him on the screen. ' Screen Gonalp. A five-reel photoplay by Theodore Roosevelt. Please do not all grab at once. It has not yet been released. But it has already made its appearance among the possibilities. Mr. Roosevelt, in fact, has been invited by Siegmund Lubin to embody his Ideals of vigorous Americanism in a scenario for a multi ple reel screen play to be given a spec tacular production by the Lubin Com panv. of Philadelphia. The United States Government at tributes most of its success to the fact that J. Warren Kerrigan helps it out each month by buying $100 worth of stamps. W. H. Winter, president of the Seat tle Stage Lighting Company, the big gest motion picture equipment house In the Northwest, is in Portland super intending the installation of two Sim plex projectors in the Columbia Thea ter. The Monmouth Film Corporation, a $2,500,000 concern in which Van Horn & Son, theatrical costumers of Phila delphia, are principals stockholders, is the latest big producing concern of filmdom. A motion-picture city, pat terned after Universal City, will be constructed in the East. "Miss Lucille Taft. the Mutual star and relative of ex-rresident Taft, is an enthusiastic equestrienne. James Levering, who plays old man parts with the Gaumont company, once played with Sir Henry Irving. Henry, King, ih Balboa favorite, la doing a Western picture the story of which is very different from the usual frontier piece. Special attention has been given to perfecting every detail of the primitive hall of chance, which is the principal set. All those taking part are types, specially selected be cause of their appearances. The men running the various games have all been "professionals" in their day. In dians, Orientals, bunchgrassers, cattle men, alfalfa shovelers, sheep herders and all sorts appear in the piece, which gives promise of being one of the beBt things Henry King has ever done. The Metro Picture Corporation, through its publicity department, now presents "Dick Metro," the smallest dog which has been given to Mary Miles Minter for four days. The dog, it is said, was the gift of Mrs. Richard A. Rowland, wife of the Metro president, and will be run as a feature on the same programme with "Woof-woof," the poodle which forms the nucleus of Miss Minter's kennels. Dick is described as a pure-bred Metro-terrier. He is the original Yel low Streak, and is worth about $1,000, 000. Like all these Metro-style dogs, he has already created considerable tur moil around the studios, which he has converted into a house of tears by his continual yelp of "rolf! rolf ! rolf !" Those who have seen Mae Murray, the charming young Lasky star, be fore the camera all agree that she will be a revelation to those who see her forthcoming production, "To Have and to Hold." Wallace Reid is featured with her, and the two are surrounded by an all star cast. "Picture work is easy." says Henry Murdock, of the Sis Hopkins Company. "All I had to do today was to fall down a dumb-waiter shaft." Henry Walthall, starring with Edna Mayo in "The Misleading Lady," was held up in Chicago recently. The footpads took his pocketbook and several letters, which they read. "Are you Henry Walthall?" they de manded. "Yes," he replied eagerly. . "Have you ever seen me in moving pictures?" "No," they said, and took his watch aud a gold knife and went on along. Forrest Stanley, who plays the lead with Florence Rockwell in "He Few in Love With His Wife," was in stock for six years at Morosco's Burbank Theater, Los Angeles, before entering the motion-picture field. Bessie Barriscale, star of "Honor's Altar," is an attractive blonde, with brown eyes. She weighs 130 pounds and is five feet, two and one-half inches in height. "Maria Rosa" is the next picture in which Geraldine Farrar will appear on the Paramount programme. This Spanish play was in New York for one season. Wallace Reid, Pedro de Cor doba, Anita King and H. B. Carpenter are among the players in the support ing cast. mm It is said that Lou-Tellegen, who recently married Geraldine Farrar, first met the prima donna during the film ing of "Maria Rosa." He played in the production during its presentation in New York and was consulted at the Lasky studios concerning it. Kathlyn Williams, featured in "The Ne'er-Do-Well," receives an average of 50 letters daily from admiringpicture fans. Fifty-six Indians were used in con nection with the making of the Will iam Fox production, "Gold and the Woman." One of the scenes in the picture shows the demolition of an Indian camp by dynamite. A new Wild West drama, full of big scenes and intense suspense, is coming from the Ince-Triangle studio, called "Hell's Hinges." There is a Western town in the story that bears the title name from the old saving of the fron tier, "Hot as the hinges of hell." Will iam S. Hart, who recently played a strong role as a Western mining man in "Between Men," is the hero of the story. For love of a girl he avenges the burning of a church by a gang of "bad" men by setting the town on fire. It is a powerful story of one man's strength, a woman's courage and another man's tragic weakness. LAWYERS TO QUIT EARLY Employes Also Will Be Given Half Holiday at Grants Pass. GRANT PASS.

ACT WILL BE CHANGED 3Ir. IiaRoche Declares Council Has Right to Deny or Grant Commer cial Rights on Thoroughfares. New Rule Due March 1. The Daly itney regulation is to be amended at once by the Council to force the jitneys to give definite and de pendable service on all lines during: certain hours of the day and night. City Attorney LaRoche was asked by Commissioner Daly yesterday to pre pare the amendments necessary to cor rect defects in the present ordinance. The request came as a result of a lengthy written opinion by Mr. LaRoche to the effect that there is nothing in the ordinance as it stands requiring the jitneys to operate except as they please. Although the Council intended when passing the ordinance to require oper ation between 6 A. M. and 8 A. M. and 4:30 and 7 P. M. the ordinance has been interpreted to allow the jitneys to specify the periods when they will run. The majority have specified one hour some time during the day or night. They are obliged under the ordinance as interpreted, to operate only during that particular hour although they are allowed to operate at other times either as jitneys or taxicahs if they wish. The result is that the city has jitney serv ice only when the jitney operators want to eive it. While the amendments to the ordi nance are being considered Commis sioner Daly has announced that he would require the Jitneys to give serv ice from 6 to 8 A. M. and 4:30 to 7 P. M. Before any permits are issued for March the jitneys will be required to agree to operate between those hours. City Attorney LaRoche says Mr. Daly has power to require such service be fore issuing the permit certificates. Mayor Albee will instruct the police to enforce the order. In his opinion Mr. LaRoche says In part: Mr. Daly proposes refusing to issue cer tificates under this ordinance for the month of March unless the motor buses shall be operated during the hours set out in sec tion 8 of this ordinance. Such requirement undoubtedly will pro voke new litigation, and it seems to me that the time is now at hand when the Coun cil should clarify this ordinance by an amendment setting out in distinct terms just what service shall bo rendered by motor hup to tho Portland publio in exchange for the commercial rights given by tho pub lic through the Council to use Its thorough fares. The jitney buses should either engage to carry passengers over thoroughfares in a manner to accommodate the public or eise they should be denied the right to give imperfect and elusive service, as the legal right of the Council to grant a commercial privilege in any thoroughfare is grounded on thn nrinciDle that such grant of privilege will facilitate the use of the thoroughfare by the citizen, 34 GRADUATES PLACED OM.Y TifSE OF CLASS LEFT AXD THEY ARB DOING SURVEY W ORK.

Definite Answer on Request to With draw Bid or Revise Figures Is Postponed. Kirors totaling $21,525 are charged by Hans Pederson. Seattle contractor, in his bid on the public auditorium gen eral contract, in a letter filed yester day with the City Council.' Mr. Peder son appeared before the Council again yesterday and asked that the Council either permit him to withdraw his bid or revise his figures. The Council gave him no assurance, but postponed a definite answer until Monday morning, when a special Council meeting will be held. Mr. Pederson says his Portland en gineer made tho mistakes. They are so apparent as to be glaring, he says. He declares for one thing that he fig ured on 284,000 brick at $45 a thousand, which would have been $12,780. In the bid the figures had been incorrectly compiled so that the item appeared at $1255. In adding the bids for concrete footings, walls, slab beams, columns and stairs, he says his engineer dropped out a 1 in his compilation and thereby made a mistake of $10,000. The foot ing for these items appeared at $28,707, he says, instead of the correct figure of $38,707. Altogether, the errors made a total of $28,525. He says this does not include a large item for insurance, which was overlooked altogether in the bid. He says he is willing, however, to waive this figure provided the Council will allow him to revise his bid upward to the extent of his other mistakes. This would still leave his bid the lowest sub mitted by about $6000. PALESTINE WORKER HERE Dr. Alleii Moore to Speak at First Presbyterian Church.

With a few minor changes, the pro posed amendments to the city's meat inspection ordinance were approved yesterday by the City Council and rep resentatives of meat deaiers.
