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."

Commissioner Bigelow Objects ta
Vote on Salary Increase Measure.
Major Gives Advice.
unmnpAin rensrte between mei
bers of the city council during the
progress of a council meeting yester
day was Interrupted by the near-pas-stge
of sever-! ordinances providing
lor salary increases. iu.iui.iiij
M.i-r.r Rater who presided at th
meeting after an absence of three
weeVs. warned hts colleagues that In
attention to council affairs would lead
.ome of tiiem to grief some day. It
all iiappened like this:
A general agreement is said to have
been reached by all members of the
council, setting tomorrow aa the day
on which to consider propoaed salary
increases for city employes. Several
such proposals were on the regular
i.n . r nd were read by
Cquncil Clerk GruUe.
At about the same time commission
ers Slann and Bigelow were engaged
in a spurt of comedy over a prevloua
ordinance which had been the cause
ol some debat-.
"Barbur. Bigelow, Mann. Perkins,
mayor five," monotoned Grutse.
"What's that? Hold on." yelled Com
missioner Bigelow, half rislnr out of
his seat and frantically waving his
right arm. "I don't know if I want
to vr.te In favor of that ordinance.
What Is it?" -
-It's all right." assured Commis
pL'1 whn had introduced the
ordinance in question. "It authorises
a slight increase lor employes in my
departments."
That wai to be hearo rrioay, cams
Commissioner Bigelow, now aroused to
the seriousness of the situation. 'I
Oon't wish to be recorded as voting- lor
that measure. Mr. Mayor."
Well, t.te ordinance can go over to
Friday." said Commissioner Perkins;
"that suits me all right."
"You boya should pay some atten

happens I will not recall the vote. It

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.

There are two tastes in
tea: the tea-taste and the
.tannin-taste. 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.
