OFFICERS START INQUIRY VIOLIN RECITAL SUCCESS SOCIETY ACDIEXCE AT LITTLE THEATER ENTHUSIASTIC. LOCAL SHOP TO CELEBRATE , t OBSERVANCE OF BABIES WEEK TO START SIOJfDAT". .Portland Soloists Under Leader ship of Mrs. Susie Fennell Pipes Attain. Tligh Excellence. BY JOSEPH MACQCEEN. It was quite a musical feat that Mrs. Susie Fennell Pipes accomplished in giving a fine violin recital of high ex cellence before a society audience Saturday night in the Little theater. All available seats were occupied. Home violin recitals are rare in this city violin recitals at which the solo ists are Portland people. Such events have not happened here for years be cause in the past they were not largely attended and a loss of money resulted. Hall rent and the other expenses of running a concert have to be met somehow. Last night's violin recital was there fore Quite creditable to Mrs. Pipes, both from musical and practical viewpoints. She worked hard to win such a success, aided by devoted women friends, and it is pleasant to record this triumph. Mrs. Pipes has studied the violin art both in this country and Europe and practices self-denial and hard work to keep herself in constant concert trim. She is today a fine violinist who honors Portland by being one of the best in that line in the Pacific northwest. In her recital, Mrs. Pipes' violin tone had a clarity and beauty of color that catches the fancy and holds it captive. Her most difficult number, played with J. R. Hutchison at the piano, was the Brahms Sonata, G Major, Ops 78, which received a noble rendition. Its difficulties were also quickly mastered and appealing interpreted. The rest of Mrs. Pipes' programme formed a galaxy of charm and tuneful effects, the prettiest being the Tartinl Kreisler "Variations on a Theme by Corelli," the Tor Aulin "Berceuse," and the Dvorak-Kreisler "Slavonic Dance." Mrs. Pipes was cordially received and her extra numbers were "Berceuse' Arensky) and "Waltz Bluette" (Auer) Mr. Hutchison played with that mag nificent, cultured musicanship that makes all his piano gems significant for the best that there Is. Mrs. Ii. YV. Martin, in Hospital Suf fering From Two Bullet Wounds, Expected to Recover. SEATTLE, Wash., May 4. (Special.) Mrs. Earl Jaynes and her son. War ren Jaynes, 18 years old, are held on pen charges in the Kitsap county jail in connection with the shooting in Bremerton of Mrs. L. W. Martin. 23, wife of a boatswain on the receiving ship at the navy yard. . According to Mrs. Martin's story. Mrs. Jaynes, jealous over alleged at- entions paid her husband, a Charles ton mail carrier, shot her while she was riding in the Jaynes automobile near the outskirts of the city. Mrs. Martin alleges that about 5 o'clock Friday afternoon Mrs. Jaynes and her son drove up in a machine to the Martin home and invited her to go for a ride. She had placed one foot on the running board when she was seized and dragged Into the automobile. The car, driven by the Jaynes boy, shot out into the street. Near the outskirts of Bremerton, the sheriff's office was told, Mrs. Jaynes whipped a revolver from the pocket of her skirt and fired twice at the Martin woman, both shots taking effect in the abdomen. Mrs. Martin was then thrown from the machine, which never slack ened speed and disappeared from sight, ne eays. Fifteen minutes later she was found unconscious by the side of the road. where she had dragged herself. She was taken to the navy-yard hospital at Bremerton by a passing automobilist. is o charges had been placed against Mrs. Jaynes and her son early Saturday morning. The action of the authorities here will depend upon Mrs. Martin's re covery. Mrs. Jaynes and her husband have WAR TO UNITE FACTIONS Lord Reading, Retiring British Ant' bassador to U. S., Sails. NEW YORK, May 4. Lord Reading, retiring British ambassador to the United States, said prior to his de parture Saturday on the steamship Aquitania that he had no idea who his successor would be. Lady Reading, Sir Conyngham Greene, retiring British ambassador to Japan, and several Brit ish army officers accompanied him. Lord Reading alluded to the labor programme adopted as part of the Paris treaty. "That capital and labor are better able to understand each other's point of view since the war," he said, "is one of the promising results attained. It is now up to each nation to make the most of this result.' Baby's Boudoir, 388 Morrison Street, Completes Plans for Third Birthday Anniversary. Babies' week will be celebrated dur Jn;r the coming six days by merchants of the United States. Special window decorations, special sales on children's apparel and other features connected with children's merchandise will be the methods of celebration observed by ex clusive baby shops and the department Btores.

The injured man was taken to the emergency hos pital for first aid treatment and later sent to the Good Samaritan hospital. CLERK ACCEPTS U. S. POST V. G. Chessman to Be Auditor In Income Tax Bureau. "V. G. Chessman, for many years chief clerk in the water bureau, has accepted a position as traveling auditor for the income tax unit of the internal revenue bureau and expects to leave for Wash ington, D. C, to take up his new pos within a short time. Mr. Chessman has asked the city council for a three months' leave o absence, which probably will be granted. It is likely that his new work will be permanent and that he will not re turn to Portland except as a visitor.

Martin, husband of the wound ed woman, has been stationed on the receiving ship for about a year.. LIBERTIES BUREAU IS FIRM Organization In, Jar With Palmer Over Statement. NEW YORK. The national civic lib erties bureau of New York,, in a state ment issued, says it accepts full re sponsibility for an estimate that there are 1500 political prisoners in the United States. This estimate was denounced by Attorney-General Palmer as being "the result of either frenzied imagina tion or deliberate intent to deceive the public." The attorney-general asserts that two montl.8 ago there were only 179 persons in confinement for violation of the espionage act and 121 as the result of the I. W. W. prosecutions in Chicago and California, while "no men were in prison because -of thtir. expression of views on. social, economic or political questions, including the war" was dis puted by the bureau which gave as tis authority. Attociey-General Gregory's report for the year ending June 30, 1918. The bureau declares that 375 con sclentious objectors are now in prison, 363 have been convicted under the es pionage act and that 496 prosecutions were pending under that law on June 30,-1918. Up to the same date the bu reau adds. 8326 persons had been con victed of violation of the selective draft law. The attorney-general evidently does not regard a person who is under-in dictment or is out on bail pending ap peal as a political prisoner." says the statement; 'nor does the attorney-general include conscientious objectors." wide appeal: 'Don't waste, save; invest your savings in government securities.' Wise handling of personal finances and safe Investment of savings, witb con sequent financial progress for the fore sighted citizen who saves, are thus pro moted, around the world. "In '72, when France was confronted with the task of paying the huge in demnity imposed by the Germans after the Franco-Prussian war, she found out that the small investor was the back bone of a needy government. The same discovery drove-its way to England during the second year of. the world war. France settled her problem and met her needs , by issuing war bonds, the smallest at 100 francs ($19.30) and short-term national defense notes as small as a dollar. With England orig inated the idea of the - war savings stamp bearing a liberal rate of inter est. .Others of the allies developed sim ilar systems. "When the war and its financial problems enveloped us, we quickly seized upon the war savings stamp as a form of loan and Investment which would reach all the people of the coun try, and which would, besides lending the government needed money, enconr age thrift and systematic saving. In place of the regular postage stamps used by England we instituted the now famous 25-cent thrift stamp. "Thus the war savings stamps are not confined to one locality alone; they are known around the world. The com ing of peace has not Intetrfered with their progress, and the coming of 1919 has only added to their usefulness and value, both to individuals and the gov ernments of all the enlightened peoples of the earth. . They are all united under the family of W. S. S." SMALL INVESTOR BIG HELP Results Achieved Over World by Thrift Methods Described. INDIANAPOLIS. "Every belligerent country during the war came rapidly to realize that the small investor was the man who must bear the brunt of financing the government." said Rob ert E. Springsteen, chairman of the In diana war savings committee, yester day, in discussing the campaign of the United States government for the pro- ! motion of thrift. "When you can drop an extra quarter into the thrift bank, don't think that your own United States is the only place where this is being done. The accumulation of small sav ings has become a world-wide habit. "From America with her thrift stamps, from France with her national defense bonds, from Italy, from the whole British empire, comes the world- to the extent required by the railroad administration, bankers say. The confidence that President llson will call congress in session is based on the fact that the railroad administra tion is not the only government de partment which needs money. Virtu ally every department of the govern ment, it is understood, is in financial straits because of the failure of con gress to make necessary appropriations before adjournment. Unless funds are provided speedily the homeward movement of troops will be halted because of lack of money. The government even now Is backward In Its pension payments. The navy de partment requires money. The list could be extended to include nearly every other branch of the government. With the government's financial emergency so general any protracted delay In summoning congress would be fatal, bankers say. The situation be ing as It is. the railroad conference did not take up later maturities of the roads. Should the unexpected happen and no special session be held until late in the summer, it was admitted that a diffe rent complexion would be placed on the entire railroad situation. It then would be necessary to adopt extraordinary measures to avoid a financial disaster. BRIGHT FUTURE IS SEEN Bankers Optimistic "" as Result of Washington Meeting. NEW YORK. Bankers who attended the conference in Washington on the financial needs of the railroads ex pressed confidence that the carriers will be provided with funds for their future needs as they arise. The conference, which included west ern as well as New York bankers, con fined its attention to May 1 require? ment.s it was learned. As onnounced by Mr. Hines, director-general of rail roads, the railroad administration will issue warrants up to the amount of 160,000.000 to meet ' debts of that body to the various companies, while the $40,000,000 railroad securities which will mature about that time will be extended. The view which prevails generally In Washington is that congress will be called In special session about the mid dle of May and certainly not later than June 1. With congress In session the emergency would end, because congress undoubtedly would appropriate funds ONE MAN ROBS .SALOON "" w Mistaken for Government Inspector Haul or $600 Is Made. , NEW YORK.

He passed the proprietor with out a word, turned to the left and walked behind the bar and up to the cash register. "Are you an inspector?" inquired Holmes, who had become accustomed to the vagaries of government inspec tors during the last few months. "You guessed it." said the stranger, at the same time flashing two auto matic pistols. "I'm here to inspect your cash register. Throw up your hands, please, and keep 'em elevated. I'm talk ing to all of you." he added, as the bar tender made a threatening move and was faced with the muzzle of one of the guns. "Steady, boys, it will be all over in the moment," and he rang up a dollar on the register, scooped up all the paper currency revealed as the drawer flew open. Ignored the silver and then backed out. keeping the men covered. . . "You may drop 'em now. jrentlemen. and thank you!" he smiled as he dis appeared through the back entrance, slamming the door behind him. Holmes Immediately notified the po lice, and a detail from headquarters dashed to the scene in the police tour ing car. The bandit had escaped by way of the alley and into tne railroad yards, a block away. No trace of him could be found. It is believed an attempt to hold up the Maple Leaf buffet was frustrated about a week ago, when the timely ap pearance of Captain George Sinclair frightened away a gang of four in an automobile. ' RELIEF WORKERS HONORED Efforts in Behalf of Blind Appreci ated at Paris. NEW YORK. A cablegram received from Paris at the headquarters of the Permanent Blind Relief War fund, 590 Fifth avenue, announced that the French government had conferred gold medals upon Airs. George A.

Philippine Market Nearly Normal NEW YORK Conditions in the Philp pines, which were considerably dis turbed by the inertia which followed the signing of the armistice, are rap idly returning to normal. The chief difficulty was one of exchange, for the cessation of exports brought about an absence of both dollar and sterling bills, while the demand was great because of the shipments from the United States, which began in volume very soon after the first of the year. Now, however, return shipments, particularly of hemp, are being made, and normality is in sight. Its return was facilitated by the flotation In the United States market of an issue of $10,000,000 of certificates of indebtedness of the Philippine government.
