FEATURES PROPOSED FOR MLSIO FESTIVAL. Concert by Portland- Sym phony Orchestra. One oratorio performance. One concert by large Port land chorus trained for miscel laneous music. One performance by Portland Opera Association. Festival to extend over three days with programme on three nights and one matinee. Twenty-two musicians, represent ing different music clubs of this city, met yesterday afternoon at the Public Library and talked over plans relating to the proposed music festival to be held In the near future to celebrate the opening of the new Civic Auditorium. The meeting was "short" in point of attendance, but "long" in enthusiasm. These two committees were appointed to report to an adjourned meeting Bunday afternoon, December 17: Com mittee on constitution and bylaws, Jacob Kanzler, chairman; Carl Denton, Jiobert E. Millard, Mrs. L. T. Newton, of the Monday Musical Club, and Ed ward Hipley. Committee on nomina tions of officers, M. Christensen, chair man: Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke and W. A. Montgomery. Three-Day Festival Arranged. This report from the selection and recommendation committee of musi cians, appointed at the last meeting. was accepted: That the proposed music festival be of three days' duration, three nigrhts and one matinee, and that there ehall be one concert by the Portland Symphony Orchestra, one oratorio per formance, one performance by the Port land Opera Association and one concert by the big chorus, with a programme consisting of miscellaneous music: that the list of officers shall consist of president, first vice-president atid other vice-presidents appointed as delegates from the different business men's clubs In the city, the Ad Club, the Chamber of Commerce. Rotary Club. Progressive lousiness Men's Club, etc., and the Mayor; an advisory board of profes sional musicians, and a salaried sec re ta ry. Frederick W. Goodrich was president cf the temporary organization and and while the discussions were pleasant and harmonious, they were wordy. Mr. Goodrich was "smooth" and diplomatic In his decisions and everyone went away good-humored. Frank. G. Eichen laub was secretary. It was mentioned that the probable expense of a music festival would be about $7500. to pay professional musl cians of the symphony orchestra, train the chorus, pay salaries of conductor and soloists, etc. It seemed to be the opinion of several speakers that the business men of this city will assist In raising part of this guarantee fund in advance. Support From Musicians Needed. ' "Of course the success of the music festival depends a good deal on tha fl nancial support it shall receive from Portland business men," (aid George llotchKiss Street, "but let us not for tret that the musicians must do their chare of this work. There have been quite a number of different musical activities in this city lately, and the eiipport from musicians, has been atrociously small. Let us also as mu sicians open a subscription list with Kiuns amounting from $1 to J20 opposite our names, and show our business men tha we are also active factors In this enterprise. Let us first unite as mu sicians, working together for the suc cess of this festival." Mr. Goodrich ruled that the meeting was an elective body, but the meeting, after a good deal of discussion, showed that it was not in any mood to elect anybody to office. Several delegates expressed convictions that before any elections take place a constitution and by-laws must be adopted. Other dele- pates said they awaited instructions irom their clubs. Majority "Wants Home Talent. Th6 meeting was about evenly di vided as to the proposition whether home talent should be employed as so loists or "imported talent from the East." Home talent seemed to be the opinion of the majority. "Engage Schumann Heink and pay her $1000," was suggested, but the hint was not taken. Dr. Max Pearson Cushing, of Reed College, told of music festivals in Maine and thought that "outside" solo ists should be engaged for the Portland Xlusic Festival. "Portland first," said Robert E. Mil lard. "We have satisfactory soloists In our own city." As the delegates left the hall to go home, Mr. Goodrich said, with a smile, "Well, we are a step further along. We have just held a clearing-house of music Ideas." Administrator's Power Suspended. MORTON, Wash., Dec. 10. (Special.) Upon petition of H. C.

The necklace was valued at $5000 and was an heirloom In her husband's family. Mrs. Ikle says that the hotel clerk saw "Colonel Mason" wearing the brooch when he paid his bill at the hotel, and that it was this appearance with the Jewels that led the police to suspect him of the crime.

THRILLS ON AT STRAND cROHAN HOLIDAY" MADE IX SPE CIAL WRESTLING ACT. Several Other Likable numbers, eluding Music, Dancing and Com edy, Please Patrons. Toune Hackenschmidt and his train er. Fred O'Neal "butcher" each other in a most realistic way "to make a Roman holiday" for the patrons of the Strand Theater in the new bill that opened yesterday. Young Hackenschmidt, who is a brother of the "Russian lion" with the extra distinction of still being able to hold his championship title in the light-heavyweight class, looks about as easy to handle as the prize steer out at the livestock show last week. After posing to illustrate the favorite holds of all the famous wrestling cham pions of modem times, they put on a realistic bout, in which they pick each other up and slam each other down all over the stage and exchange buffets and bear-hugs that would make an or dinary man look like a sausage in a few minutes. , The fellow who has a nice quiet Job mea OVk?- will because tailors double m v "X. . 50U- Tried on in the bastings and all wool, guaranteed Indigo dye blue serges at I have only enough to make 75 of these suits, then the price will be much more.

Leading Tailor strike would thank his stars he doesn't I have to make his living in the rude. rough manner in which Young Hack is forced to make his. The Three Clares are quite the anti thesis of the Hackenschmidt act. Gladys George, featured in their sketch as the "Dream Doll." is both a dream and a doll and dances like the tinsel cherubs on a Christmas tree and has a sweet little lyric voice that the audi ence loves immensely. ' Hurst and De Vara have a prize-winner as an act of pure cheerful Idiocy. One-string cigar-box fiddles are noth ing unusual the unusual thing about Hurst's one-string fiddle is the rag time he gets out of it. Jones, of Jones and Golden, the other comedy team in the bill, has a musical by-product in his act. too a cornet solo that is out of the ordinary. The Price of.

Caught in a storm. man and a woman are forced to seek refuge in a wayside hotel, and are obliged to register as man and wife, to secure the only available lodging. Out of this incident grows the threat of scandal, which haunts the woman for years and develops into an amazingly dramatic story. Submarine Sinks Medford Apples. MEDFORD. Or., Deo. 10. (Special.)

Other Acta, Including Haitian Musi cians, Dancing, Drama and Pat ter, Highly Approved. Snappy comedy, both in vaudeville and motion pictures, dominate the bill that opened at the Hippodrome yester day. But the act beautiful was that of Carlotta, the human dragon, who. in true reptile style and in a picturesque setting of green, with unusual light ing effects, went through every con ceivable contortion of a drowsy fiery eyed monster. This the seemingly boneless wonder followed with twist ing and turning acrobatics that took the audience by surprise. An attractive girl, with clever, lively songs and unique costuming is Gladys Vance, who topped off her act clad ii a mirror dress that gave a pretty col or touch to the offering. Good dancing and some out-of-the-ordinary comedy was offered by two vivacious women, Russel and Bell, one of whom made her entry with a duster and in housemaid's costume down the main aisle. A colonial dance was well presented by the duo. "Funny Fellows" was the way they were billed, and Williams and Fuller lived up to expectations, for with their foolish patter they kept the crowd in a continuous uproar. Well-executed and full of life was the playlet offered by Charles T. Del Vecchio and his company. The titi' was "Fired From Yale." The heredi Name Street Town State and Stark I tary deviltry of the son out-deviled and '.outdid the irritated father. bamuel Raskin s 10 Russian musicians ranged from classical to popular mel ody on string instruments with a skill that held attention from the start. Not a little share in the act was the danc ing and singing. Basso and soprano solos brought a generous hand, for the voices of each of the singers was rich and clear. Equally good was the photoplay of fering with a new-style comedy type in "Luke, the Impersonator." "The Resurrection." a drama, and the Pathe News completes a bill that is far above the ordinary, both in quality and the way in which it is "put across." Guardsmen Join Regular Army. HOOD RIVER.
