BY JOSEPH MACQTJEEN. IN A beautiful setting, such as the soul of Elijah, the . great Jewish prophet, would love were he living today, the oratorio "Elijah," by F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy, was sung last night at the music dedication of the new 1600,000 Portland Publio Audito rium, and under the auspices of the Portland Music Festival Association. That setting was a magnificent music temple, the aid of four among the best oratorio artists in America; the pres ence of 5000 persons whose souls were attuned to the master music of Men delssohnall in rose-crowned Portland. Had this music festival taken place a month ago, as originally planned, the rose-atmosphere in the city would have been wanting. But now that the Portland roses are in full bloom, it is fitting that we can talk of last night's rendition of the oratorio as a rose- crowned "Elijah." The occasion was the greatest, musically, in Portland's history. A most successful, dramatic perform ance of "Elijah" took place. But above aught else, there stands out from it, artistically, the giant figure of 'the Elijah of the occasion Louis Grav- eure, the Belgian baritone. Graveare Is Great Artist. Graveure fairly dominated the music festival, and by his glorious singing won the affections of the audience- He came to this city announced as the greatest oratorio dramatic baritone in the United States, and by his remark able singing last night lived up to that artistic reputation. Graveure has the most glorious bari tone voice, in quality, and of that class called "oratorio baritone" of a genera tion. There are large baritone voices, that of Ruffo's, for instance. But not one of them has that velvety, 'cello like quality sonorous, opulent, well nigh perfect. Graveure looked the part of Elijah, and literally preached, implored, pleaded in his characterization of the prophet. His fine diction is a model of distinctness. and he gave a personal, spiritual mes sage that will not be forgotten by all privileged to hear him. In appearance he is unusual for an oratorio soloist bearded, quiet and al most shy. He Is also a born actor, quite a creator in declamation, and he impresses the observer as the Richard Mansfield or the Junius Brutus Booth of oratorio. All of Graveure's solos were glori ously sung. If I were asked to select one of this galaxy of solos, it would be Graveure's rendition of the famous Lord God of Abraham," which was sung as if Elijah were suddenly rein carnated in our modern world. Thco Karle Scores SncccM, Theo Karle, our own Western tenor he is a native of Iowa, and lived ten years in Washington state, and latterly in Seattle was the "Obadlah of the oratorio, and he was also a magnificent success. Tall, commanding, he made a dominant Obadlah. Mr. Karle is a find," musically. His voice is that rarity In male voices a strong, tenor robusto, natural, sparkling, and emo tional. He sings well in smooth, legato passages. His voice is of impeccable purity, a real tenor, and In luscious quality reminds me of the fine tenor voice of the late Joseph Maas, of Eng land. His renditions of the recitative "Ye People, Rend Your Hearts" and the aria If With All Your Hearts" and "Then Shall the Righteous" were magnificent in appeal, prophetic power, and splen did vocalism. Such natural spontaneous tenor singing is a musical delight. Mrs. Schwab Delights. In May Dearborn Schwab, soprano. the audience recognized an admired Portland favorite. It is a great pleas ure to hear her as the soprano soloist n .lijah. Mrs. Schwab was soDrano soloist in the choirs of the First Pres byterian and First Unitarian churches of this city, and was also a concert vo calist. Five years ago she went to New York City, where her fine voice has won for her much success. She has in the Interval coached with emi nent authorities in scientific voice- placing, and her voice has Improved wonderfully. It Is clear, ringing, mel lifluous, and a real Joy to hear. She sang splendidly in "Hear Ye, Israel." She belongs to America now not alone to Portland. Oregon. Mary Jordan, contralto, of New TnrV City, is first-class in her vocal artistry. ner voice is real contralto of fine. ceiio-iiKe quality ana or sufficient vol ume. It is agreeable to the ear. Miss Jordan will be remembered pleasantly as an artist whose excellent singing satisfies. She was magnetic and soul stirring In her reverent rendition of the solo, "Oh. Rest in the Lord." Chorus la Honor to City. The chorus of about 260 voices is an honor not only to Portland, but to the i-acino (joasu it is the best chorus that has ever sung in this city for fine voices, phrasing, diction and en thusiasm. It was amenable to disci pline and was always under control. Musical people who were present among tne aucuence last night said that this "Elijah" chorus is a better one fnr all-around singing quality and better voices than the big chorus heard last season at the exposition in San Fran. Cisco. This "Elijah" chorus was the "pick" of all Portland voices. It is made up of volunteers, members of the Annlin MacDowell, Monday Musical. Orpheus, virion, roniana oratorio and other singing societies of this city. It is a new chorus that has suddenly made good. Some singers within its mem bership have sung "Elijah" previously. One home feature of a semi-chorus deserves a paragraph all to itself. It took place when a splendid semi-chorus of women's voices sang from memory and with charming effect the trio, "Lift Thine Eyes," for first and second so prano and contralto. The singers were: First soprano, Mrs. Beard. Mrs. Joseph A. Flnley, Mrs. Densmore. Mrs. Wald ron; second soprano, Mrs. Hammond, Miss Lillian Downing, . Miss Elsie Cramer and Miss Elizabeth Johnson, and contralto, Mrs. W. A. Bushong, Mrs. Petronella Connolly Peats. Miss Verdi Monroe and Miss Maysie Foster. Mr. Boycr Is Praised. William H. Boyer, the man who trained and drilled the chorus, In about four months' time, came to this city more than 20 years ago. He has trained many choruses and church choirs in this time, and has directed the presentation of several oratorios. Necessarily, up to now, his choruses have sung In build ings often unsuitable for choral per formance. He has been and is an hon ored pioneer in this work. He has grown up with Portland. It Is gratifying, therefore, to the many Portland friends of William H. Boyer that In the evening of .his days he has been enabled to direct such a first-class presentation of "Elijah" in a magnificent auditorium devoted to civic uses. Last night he directed with conspicuous ability, and handled both chorus and orchestra with skilL He was magnetic and Inspiring in direction 'and never spared himself to get the very best choral effects. The best sung chorus was "Baal, We Cry to Thee," closely followed by "Behold, God the Lord Passed By." This presentation of "Elijah" is the crowning act of Mr. Boyer's entire musio career. Late last night, when the singing of "Elijah" was finished. President Woodward, in the name of the chorus, presented Mr. Boyer with a dressing set. Mr. Boyer was taken completely by surprise. The orchestral accompaniment was splendid and first-class in all its phases. It Is also a pleasure to know that such accompaniment was played by our own "home" Portland Symphony Orchestra. I have been present at the rehearsals and have sung in the tenor section ot the "Elijah" chorus since its inception, and my study of the work of the fes tival has been close and intimate. As for the oratorio Itself: Wrapped in mysticism and fiery in glowing prophecy, the oratorio "Elijah," by Mendelssohn, composed specially and performed at the Birmingham, England, Music Festival, in the year 1846. is a favorite one with the musically elect and the taity. It is in marked contrast to Handel's "Messiah," because of its uni form cheerfulness and better connected story. "Elijah' is more modern, more dra matio than Handel's "Messiah," and more abrupt both in sequence and score. There are many musical cues in the "Messiah" where chorus singers have ample time to form concepts of key notes, but in "Elijah" the chorus sing ers have little help in this direction to determine where they "come in." In "Elijah" and at the beginning of that oratorio the baritone prophet gets practically one bar of music as an in troduction, and sings Immediately "As God the Lord of Israel Llveth," and then follows four pages of Intricate orches tral overture. This, In turn, suddenly rushes into the opening chorus, "Help, Lord." The celebrated tenor solo, "If With All Your Hearts" is written in the key of E-flat, and in the same key, al most without warning, the bassos in the chorus have to determine the keynote in the opening phrase. "Yet Doth the Lord." Many other similar Instances of this puzzling description could be point ed out. Story ot Elijah Told. The story of Elijah, the Tishbite, of Naphtall, takes its motif from the Bible, particularly from the first and second books of Kings. For ten years Mendelssohn tried to find what he thought was a suitable libretto, and toward this end his correspondence with his friends, Carl Klingemann. in London; Rev. James Barry, a Devon shire clergyman, and Pastor Schubrlng was voluminous. Ultimately, it seems from Mendelssohn's history, he ar ranged the story largely to suit him self which was a wise decision. The canvas was wide. Elijah pre dicted a great drought: was miracu lously fed by ravens; raised to life the widow's son when death struck his; slew the priests of Baal (the sun); fled into the wilderness of Beersheba; an notated Elisha; denounced Ahab in Na both's vineyard; rebuked Ahaziah; called down fire from heaven; divided the river Jordan, and was carried up into heaven in a chariot of fire. Bible scholars tell us that Elijah ap peared at Christ's transfiguration. In Matthews' gospel, the word "Ellas" is mentioned, the Greek word, scholars say, for Elijah. Mendelssohn clothed this sacred text with strongly dramatic, tuneful, almost tempestuous elements, weaving religious and pagan units together. This is exemplified in the near-heathen fierceness of the wild cry In the chorus: "Baal, we cry to thee," and "Hear Our Cry, Oh, Baal." It is interesting to recall that Mendelssohn made many changes of music from the original score. He was once about to delete the now celebrated aria for contralto, "O. Rest in the Lord." because a friend pointed out some slight resemblance In the music to the melody of the Scotch song "Auld Robin Grey." At the period of musical composition in "Elijah," Mendelssohn had not even heard the Scotch ballad in question. Thank goodness, he was persuaded to keep "O, Rest in the Lord." Its loss to the oratorio would have been serious. Vine Programme Tonight. It is recalled also that at the first public performance of "Elijah," when tne young English tenor. Charles Lockey, sang with such touching sin cerity and purity of soul, the aria "1'hen fohall the Righteous Shine Forth," the dignified Mendelssohn was movea nearly to tears, and that it was with difficulty he continued his duties as conductor, beating time. lonlght. the Portland Svmohonv Or chestra appears in a fine programme of orchastral music, and with Mary Jordan, contralto, and Theo Karle. tenor, as soloists. Tomorrow night, the festival clones with a rendition by the chorus of Sul livan's "Golden Legend," with Kath leen Lawler, soprano, and Louis Gra veure, baritone, as xclolsts.

MANY DRIVERS QUITTING Mr. Mann Says Reasonable Time Is to Be Allowed to Comply "With Law Approved by Voters and One Bond Has Been Filed. For hire cars, taxlcabs and Jitneys must obtain their $2500 surety bonds, as provided in the ordinance adopted by the voters at the city election June 4. City Commissioner Mann, who has charge of the matter, will take steps at once to enrorce the law and to re quire the furnishing of the bonds with in a time to be fixed later.' Responsible drivers will have no difficulty in getting the bonds, a local company having sent out letters to all drivers notifying them of a willingness to write the bonds provided the driver has a record for carefulness. City At torney LaRoche will pass on the bonds to determine their sufficiency. The bonds will be held for the benefit of persons awarded damages bv the courts for injuries sustained in acci dents for which the drivers are respon sible. Mr. Carver Accepts Grants. Operation of Jitneys as litnevs will bo prohibited by enforcement of the law passed by the City Council last Fall requiring jitneys to obtain a fran chise to continue in business. A city wide franchise was rejected by the Jitney Drivers' Union and was granted by the Council to Stephen Carver. The voters on June 4 confirmed the grants to Mr. Carver and he filed for mal acceptance of the franchises with the Council yesterday. Mr. Carver says he proposes to es tablish bus service in compliance with his franchises provided the other Jit neys are not permitted to run as they are running now. His franchises call for protection bonds, transfers, sched uled service and service to the out skirts. He says he could not make such service profitable if the other Jit neys were to be allowed to run wild. Jitneys Are Disappearing-. Jitneys will be allowed to run. but they must run an for-hlre cars and will not be permitted to operate over nxea routes, as they have been. They will be free to operate In the taxlcab service under which they are licensed, the only additional requirement being the furnishing of the $2500 bond for the protection of passengers and the public Since the voters expressed them selves so vehemently against the Jit neys on June 4 there has been a rapid exodus of drivers from the business. It Is estimated that about 75 drivers have quit. Others plan to go ahead operating under the for-hire ordinance, complying with the bond requirement. A. t,. Jones, a driver, was the first to present his bond. He turned it over to Jitney Inspector Gill yesterday for approval. SAILING IS TIPPED OFF GERMAN COLONY IX. BROOKLYN KNEW OF TROOPS' LEAVING. Manchuria's Collision Give. Opportunity for Insurance Adjuster to Ob tain Information. WASHINGTON', July B. (Special.) A German community in Brooklyn pos sessed detailed Information concerning the time the American troop transports would sail for France, the number of soldiers on board and the quantity of artillery that was to be shipped with the Pershing expedition. The following is a copy of a letter received by a prominent American in this city, written In Pittsburg, on June 15, and which may bo obtained, togeth er with the name of the author, by the proper authority: "This afternoon I learned the follow ing from Dr. X. one of your friends here. Here he has a son who baa Just sailed for France or somewhere else. His son wrote him a letter from the ship, a very guarded one, giving no In formation as to anything except that the ship was expecting to sail at al most any time. "This morning Mr? B, a prominent Insurance man, came into Dr. X's office and asked him concerning his son. Dr. X told him he knew nothing except the meager information in his son's letter. Then Mr. B told Dr. X that he. B, knew where the boat sailed from and was on board, and that one of Bs agents (insurance) had visited a house n Brooklyn where some Germans lived. and there was told that the ship would sail such and such a time, that there were so many soldiers aboard and that there were several hundred pieces of artillery on the ship." The letter also says that the steam ship Manchuria, which was leading the transports out of an Atlantic port, and which collided with a barge, suffering such damage as to necessitate her being beached, was Insured by German com panies, among others. When the acci dent happened, the Underwriters' Board In New York was notified and the In surance companies' representatives at once visited the vessel to ascertain the amount of damage Incurred by their concerns. This inspection was declared to have given the agents of German companies an opportunity to discover the other transports, to approximate the number of men aboard, their regiments and the caliber and quantity of artillery and of ammunition. By an examination of the ship's papers and by checking up the man! rest of the Manchuria, it was possible for insurance inspectors to learn minute particulars relating to American meth ods for shipping troops and supplies. as well as to obtain information con cerning the ship's destination and prob able return to the united States. 1,500,000 GERMANS KILLED Estimate of Total losses Made by French After Careful Study.

LOAN STATISTICS III Oldest Subscriber to Liberty Bond 102 Years Old. BOY SCOUTS" WORK LAUDED Opinion Expressed That Bond Mar ket Will Improve Materially as Soon a Allotments Are Made, ' Freeing $1,000,000,000. All subscribers to the liberty loan in denominations up to and Including 10.000 will be allotted the full amount of their subscriptions. But single subscriptions In excess of $10,000 will be pared down so that the oversubscription of the $2,000,000,- 000 Issue will be eliminated. Portland subscribers virtually have completed the second Installment of 18 per cent which was due June 25. Thus far they have only the banks' receipts to show for the money they paid. It will be several months, it is esti mated, before the engraved bonds will be ready for distribution. The Treas ury Department promises to have them ready before the first interest date December IS. Actual distribution of the bonds, it is believed, will have a wholesome ef fect on the municipal and industrial bond markets, both of which now are badly demoralized. Municipal. Are Kot Selling. The city of Portland received only two bids on an issue of improvement bonds the other day. and these bids were so unsatisfactory that the bonds were taken by the sinking fund. Other municipal sales in various parts of thj Northwest have been post poned for lack of a market. The liberty loan committee In Wash ington. D. C. has oompleted its com pilations of statistics on the recent campaign. The oldest purchaser of a liberty loan bond Is Mrs. Louisa KL. Thiers, of Mil waukee, Wis., who is 102 years of age and a real Daughter of the Revolution. The youngest subscriber to a lib erty loan bond is Miss Florence Estelle Rogers, of Medford, Mass., whose father purchased her a bond when she was 8 hours old. The. purchaser of a liberty bond with the longest name was Gust J. Papatheo- d o r o koumoundurgistomlchalakopulos, of Chicago. Second Issue I2xeeted Shortly. The Boy Scouts of America performed notable service to the country in their campaign for the sale of the lib erty loan bonds. Through their efforts more than $25,000,000 of the bonds were sold directly. A second loan Is contemplated with in the next few months. The same things that made the initial loan of $2,000,000,000 a success will operate to make the new one equally successful. In fact, the information regarding Gov ernment bonds and finances now pos sessed by the people of the country will make the placing of the next issue of bonds less difficult. Those subscribers to the first issue who were not allotted their full subscription will give the new issue a start of more than $1,000,000,000, since it may be regarded as certain that they will not lose the opportunity to obtain the amount of Government bonds desired.
