EVERY OFFICER RESIGNS Jv' Today's Good News of Worth While Savings iljcr, Hoplnc for Continued financial Support. Inl-t Fac tional Troubles Ended. THE MOUSING OREGOXIAX, TIIUKSDAT, JUNE 19, 1919. - Cltir ikies now appear to hover over tha future destinies of the Portland symphony orchestra. Tha officers of tha orchestra, and I. Christensen. con ductor for 19:0-21. elected June 10. exist no mora aa off ic'.hIj. This means that the June 10 election being declared null and void, the future direction of all affairs is row vested In the board of under writers or "guarantors." Eric V. TTauser has re.igned as head of this hoard, but friends believe that he may be persuaded to withdraw thia resig nation, and serve the orchestra aa for merly. This action was decided upon, so far as the orchestra is concerned, at a meettna of the membership held yes. trday in the central library building. NcwsDaoer reporters attended the meeting the first time in eight years. Heretofore these m"etings of the symphony orchestra membership hare been held In executive session, l wen tr-four members of the orchestra at tended, out of a total membership of SJ. according to the officers. Lark of Mannoay Seem. It appeared from the speeches da livered in a session of two and a halt hours that serious differences of opin Ion have existed for soma little time past between membera of the sym phony orchestra and the board or un derwriters as to the future government of the orchestra. It waa charged that factional differences existed among the orchestra players, and that these fictions were known as those of M fhristensen. George K. Jeffery and Carl Denton, who have all served as conductors. .The board of underwriters refused to work with the orchestra playera un less they, the underwriters, were em powered to manage all affairs of the orchestra. The orchestra playera sought to keep the management in their own hands. Conferences have been proceeding between committees of this board of underwriters and symphony players, for a few days patu. but without re sult. What broucht the subject to a head was this letter from Mr. Hauscr, handed out at yesterday's meeting: Letter Brian L p Arlioa. la view ef my inability to serve ths Port land SvmphMy errhe.tr in a ratable end rru-ienl manner, owtnc I my failure to realise the reaulrsmeuts and necessities of Birrt an organisation, and lest my motives and purposes should be misunderstood by the generous and nohle-tiesrted members of the orchestra who have striven so herd and sacrificed so much to brlns about a true realisation of their hopes and ambitions for a rermenent and well-established orchestra. I have concluded, after carefully considering the matter, to withdraw my membership and further connection with tbe orchestra, snd I reteby lender mr resignation as a member of the board cf dlreutura and aa a director of the outsitle board. - Tils action Is taken to leave you entirely fir hampered and uninfluenced In your do terratnation of a policy for the best interest s.d welfare of the orchestra, and that aome one other than myself may take up the matter of financing the orehestra. Presid-nt F.lrhenlaub presided at yesterday's meeting, and handled the situation diplomatically. It was ex- Plained that the committee of orchestra members who had interviewed the un derwriters waa composed of M. Chris t.nsen. chairman: George K. Jeffery. Wlilistn Wallace Graham. H. G. Knight and Kranck Eichenlaub. Mr. Christen sen reported that the board of under writers' committee asked that the fol lowing conditions be fulfilled In the Interests of harmony: That the election of June 1" be declared null and void, that he. Mr. Christcnsen. cease to be conductor, and that the guarantora be empowered by unanimous vote of the orchestra membership to assume Its solo business direction for one year. "It means that there must be a new slate to work on." announced President Kichenlaub. "Mr. Hauscr eo informed rre. We shall hae to turn over our or chestra to them. On tl?se terms, Mr. llauser will take us back. I am sure. Without money from our business men to support the orchestra mo can do nothing." Former Leader Kaplaias. Mr. Christensen made his report of a hat took rlace at the meetings with guarantors and concluded: "The Imputation was made that I had packed the meetinr pf June 10. when officers were elected, but that Is not so. It Is also alleged that I had manipu lated matters so that I was elected conductor by a vote of 1 to 9. but the truth is I never asked one man to vote form. I would resign wlll'iicly if my M'-Tion in so dolnz would' not be misun- dcistood. It might seem that I retired under a cloud. I have the best interests of the orchestra at heart, and if I thought this would clear away the dif ficulty I would resign. Different speakers coincided with his view and then Mr. Christensen formally resigned. On motion of Mr. Neuberger It was decided that the election of officers June 10 be declared null. To simplify matters further, Carl Denton resigned as conductor in the season Just con cluded, that of 1511-19. " That leaves us without conductor or officers for one year." commented Mr. Kichenlaub. "We now turn over all we have to the underwriters' committee. A memorial to that effect will be pre pared immediately and must be signed b every member of the orchestra." $7.50 to $10.00 Hats At $5.00 Second Floor A special underprice of fering for Thursday in the Millinery Salons, Second Floor.

AUTO DRIVER UNDER FIRE Council to Investigate Charges Against V. C. Knight. A special hearing before the city council on the revocation of the auto mobile for hire license held by V. C. Knight has been set for Tuesday afternoon, June 24. Knight is accused by Elmer Amldon of attempting to overcharge several out of town people who engaged Knight's machine for a trip over the Columbia river highway. Amidon, who was with the strangers, refused to allow payment of the al leged overcharge and as a result Knight obtained a warrant for the arrest of Amidon, but the case was later dismissed in the municipal court. Members of the council said yester day that any automobile driver who attempted to extort money from strangers who entered the city should not be permitted to operate within the city of Portland. Knight denies the charges made by Amidon. "'T WPl ' "s inp amdi $ taB.illCi ID 'VERY fcsosewife should know the true cocking Qualities and astomshing Economy of Mazola.

When you make your tea, the tea taste develops first; the tannin after it. Common tea,made from the older leaves of the tea plant, has a low-grade of tea-taste, and even that is quickly smothered by the tannin. Fine tea, made from young tender leaves, has an abundance of rich real tea-taste, which develops' in the cup, before the tan nin gets started. Very little tannin in fine tea.
