"He Fell in Love
With His Wik"
Pelepates to National Convention
Cliosen and Plan Proposed to
Try and Have Mooting of
1919 Hold in Portland.
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.

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. '

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

"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

are among the players in the support

mm
It is said that Lou-Tellegen, who
recently married Geraldine Farrar, first
met the prima donna during the film

the production during its presentation
in New York and was consulted at the
Lasky studios concerning it.
Kathlyn Williams, featured in "The

Fifty-six Indians were used in con

A new Wild West drama, full of big
scenes and intense suspense, is coming
from the Ince-Triangle studio, called

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

JITNEYS FACE ORDER
Continuous Operation to Be
Required in Rush Hours.
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,

ERRORS PUT AT $21,525
auditorium: contractor files
letter with council.
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.

MINOR AMENDMENTS APPROVED BY
COUNCIL AND DEALERS.
Elimination of Reaulrement that Farm
er Leave AJI Vital Organs In
Carcassea Bis Change.
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. Butchers
and civic organizations. The measure
went over until Monday morning, when
it will be before the Council lor final
passage.
The most important change made was
the elimination of necessity of farmers
leaving all of the vital organs in car
casses shipped into the city. Commis
sion men and meat dealers objected to
this because of the danger of the meat
spoiling. Accordingly it was changed
so" as to require tho farmers to leave
in nniv tha most important of the or
gans. Otherwise the measure, the
amendments to which are to be made
to bring it up to the requirements or
dered by the State Supreme Court, met
with the approval of thoso interested.
William Constantine, who headed a
committee of the Retail Meat Dealers'
Association, announced that the asso
ciation is in favor of the inspection be
cause of the protection both to the pub
lic from a. health standpoint and to tho
dealers from a business standpoint as
it-ell hq a. health standpoint.
The measure, as it stands ready for
passage, provides for three inspectors,
all to be graduate veterinarians with
t lonst two vears' practical experience
in the field. They will inspect all meat
i,nioH in sliiiiahter-houses at the
slaughtering places and will inspect all
farm-killed meat at central stations
.nil hutcher shops where delivery is
made. The measure was passed a year
ago and was contested in the courts
by packing concerns. The hupreme
Court held the ordinance to be valid
with certain alterations.
