Pubnc Meeting Called
Board of Directors.
by
$3,272,00.0 IS ESTIMATE
Ar-cnoicnts Against Any Items Con
tained In Statement "Will Be
Heard December 1.
It will cost $3,272,000 to operate
Uie Portland public schools during
the coming year, according to the
estimated budget for 1920 as pre
pared by the board of directors. The
board has issued a call for a public
meeting to be held at room 304, court
house, at 10 A. M., December 1, at
which taxpayers may present argu
ments against any items contained
in the budget.
Salaries of principals and teachers
form the biggest item in the school
expense, the tentative budget allow
ing a total of J2.348.355 for this
purpose.
Sinking Fund Included.
Outlays, including betterments, new
buildings, improvements, etc., J141,
350; equipment, J68.150; instruction.
including salaries, text book sup
plies, etc.. $2,355,205; supplies, J57,
200; maintenance. $115,860; operation,
$:iS3.350; administration, $113,235; mis
cellaneous, $37,650.
Sinking fund, interest, bills pay
able, etc., $196,523.
Although the actual cost of main
taining the schools is placed at $3,
272,000, the total budget calls for $3,
468.523, the added $196,523 being
needed to take care of the sinking
fund, interest, bills payable and other
items listed under the school board's
debt account.
The estimated receipts for 1920
are placed at $3,468,523, of which
$531,000 was authorized by the tax
payers at the special election May
10, this-year. The school board ex
pects to receive $570,000 from the
county school fund and $117,000 from
the state school fund. The other
jtems included in the estimated reve
nues include $40,000 for delinquent
taxes, $10,000 in tuition, $4000 as
interest on bank balances, $1,975,000
to be raised by special levy and $196,
523 to be raised by a special levy
for the sinking fund.
One Building Permitted.
The 1920 budget allows for but one
new building, this being a carpenter
shop at the Benson Polytechnic
school which it is estimated will cost
$30,000. Betterments are estimated
at $17,650, while but $50,000 is set
aside for temporary portable build
ings. The school board will endeavor to
set at rest all doubt as to the va
lidity of the board paying the travel
ing expenses of its directors or other
-epresentatives to conventions and
school meetings by inserting an item
of $3000 for this purpose. The di
rectors take the position that such
a fund is in every way legal, and
unless it can be proved otherwise,
the 1920 budget will allow $3000 for
this purpose.
RELIEF ARMY PROPOSED
KMKMAX APPEAIj MADE
PEOPLE OP OREGON.
TO
Support of Resolution Before Con-
sress Urged in Letters Sent
to Communities.
I'eople of Oregon who are in sym
pathy with the movement to protect
the Armenians in their native coun
try from the cruelties of the Kurds
and Turks until such time as the na
tions of the world through the peace
treaty have taken steps to estab
lish order throughout that region
have been asked to support a resolu
tion now before congress, the main
feature of which is to grant author
ity to enable Armenians in the Uni
ted States to raise money to equip
themselves as an armed force to go
to the aid of their countrymen in
Asia Minor.
A letter sent out to "the Armenian
life savers of Oregon" by J. J. Hand
eaker, state director of the Armenian
relief movement, gives the provisions
of the resolution now before con
gress and asks that those who favor
the resolution bring it before the
people of their community for in
dorsement. The resolution points out that the
withdrawal of British troops from
the Caucasus and Armenia will
leave the Armenian people helpless
and aeks that the president be auth
orized to suspend the foreign enlist
ment act to the extent necessary, to
enable Armenians in the United
States to take steps to send an armed
force to the aid of their countrymen.
Conditions in Asia Minor as a re
sult of the inhuman acts of the Turks
are pictured by Pilos Cartozian in a
letter to his brothers here in Port
land of the Cartozian Brothers com
pany. The only relief agency is the
American missionary organization, he
states, and its facilities are so small
that they render little protection
against groups of bandits.

BUDGET
NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
Orphcum.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
THE appeal in Venita Gould's im
pressions of celebrities is that she
does not resort to a bag of false noses,
wigs, eccentricities of costume and
hand painting to accent the likeness.
She is Venita Oould when she steps
from between the curtains and she
does not change her costume, save for
one number, when she puts on a
black kimono to be Mary Nash as
the drug fiend Marcelle in "The Man
Who Came Back," a vitally big dra
matic bit, by the way.
This impression, and one of Leonore
Ulric as the vividly colorful Tiger
Rose, screaming her defi at the Haw
and the church for taking her man
away, are the only two emotional
roles Miss Gould presents. They are
wholly dissimilar, and each is a fine
etching in characterization, and we
are grateful that she has added them
to balance her comedy playing. She
gives us Bert Walker's famous poker
pantomime, an exquisite idea of Grace
La Rue and the best imitation I have
ever seen of Julian Eltinge, carrying
the impersonation into even voice in
flection and the studied poses El
tinge necessarily adopts. For this
role Miss Gould doesi put on a bride's
veil and dress, but uses no make-up.
Jack Norworth and George M. Cohan
are faithfully presented, and the ir
repressible Tanguay is added when
the encores become insistent. Miss
Gould runs a comb through her hair,
tightens it or fluffs it. adjusts her
mobile features and pitches right into
action, seeming to take on the actual
personality of the one she is imitat
ing. There's a big lot of personal ap
peal about Miss Gould herself, a warm
radiance, a womanly charm, undeni
ably real and quite compelling.
An interesting vocalist is Eva Shir
ley, whose diminutive figure and
paJe blonde coloring stand out against
a background of very busy jazzoip
gists, five in number. Miss Shirley's
voice is a flexible soprano, high and
tricky, which she displays in a series
of songs. Of these, "My Baby's
Arms" is her best number, sung first
as a simple melody with -the orches
tra, a real symphony of harmony, and
then plunged suddenly into animated
syncopation, with everyone dancing.
A clever bit is Al Roth's original
shimmy shiver" in this act.
Ralph Kitner and Jim Reaney oc
casion great hilarity in an oceanic
episode. One is the captain of the
boat and the other an ebon stowaway
who has run away from a flock of
wives to sail the briny and now is
seasick. The comedy is extremely
funny and to round out good measure
the two sing in excellent harmony.
If I had the paper out of which
Arthur West read the review of his
own act I would just copy it here.
For Arthur has dug up a neat idea.
He calls his act "What the Critic
Said," and just before he recites or
sings or dances he reads "the audi
ence was convulsed at Mr. West's
recitation," or "next Mr. West de
lighted everyone with his brilliant
singing, or "not since Pavlowa have
we seen such a dancer as Mr. West,
etc., etc. It is all so artlessly done,
with genuine humor running an un
dercurrent throughout the criticism
he makes of his own act. He reads
that "a dainty girl assists Mr. West
at the piano." She does.
A somnambulistic farce is "The
Man Hunt," in which a pretty girl
guest at a house party walks in her
sleep and not in the path of con
vention. When the excitement is at
its height we learn that the little
sleep-walker had a method in her
seeming madness. It is frankly a
farce. The prettiness and femininity
of Isolde Illian makes her playing
possible, and Lewis Nelson adds a
clever bit as a dolt.
Princess Radjah returns with her
versatile and very-much-alive snake
in her Cleopatra dance. The princess"
dance is mo"stly graceful posturing.
When the snake is added to the dance,
winding his sinuous coils about her
head or shoulders or crawling about
on the floor while she dances, the
creation assumes the personal equa
tion. If you ask me, a live snake
isn't my idea of a little playmate.
However, we all have our preferences.
The last part of the princess' act is a
demonstration of grace and strength
wherein she dances wildly while she
tosses a chair held in her teeth. '
The opening number is a capital
array of juggling embroidered with
good new comedy and replete with
sensational departures. Mark Nelson,
a quiet comedian, puts it over big.
P. S. This show closes with a mat
inee Wednesday.
Lyric.
T"lLLON and Franks and the rest of
the Lyric stock company are all
right in "In Wrong," which opened
yesterday afternoon at the pioneer
house on Fourth street. Comedy that
is uniformly good and songs that
carry an appeal give the company ex
cellent opportunity for scoring.
As the erring husband, Ben T. Dillon
maintains his high average of laughs,
and gives generously of his talents
by shaking his harmonic brogans in a
solo dance. Al Franks is a horse
doctor with less than horse sense, but
with a faculty for coming forth with
his nonsense at the time it is best
appreciated. Charlton Chase and Olive
Finney are paired as sweethearts, as
are Clarence Wurdig and Billie Bing
ham. Will Rader is impressive as a
haughty doctor and delightful as a
hardboiled longshoreman. Madeline
Mathews is a suspicious wife and Jean
Maidment is a clever maid.
Four swingy songs, each full of pep
and melody, are crowded into the
medley with which the chorus opens
the show. An addition to the chorus
this week is Ruth Leora, whose tra
versing of the Pantages circuit was
interrupted when her partner suffered
injury here.
"I Found the End of the Rainbow"
is Olive Finney's song for the week,
and it is full of happy thoughts. "Old
Boy Neutral' 'is one of -the happiest
songs Carlton Chase has sunir in
weeks. Ruth Leora and Delia Romig
'"S lunacy tana" in duet and fin
ish with a dance in which they are as
admirably matched as in their har
mony. Miss Leora was well received
yesieraay atternoon.
Ann Mullally, from the front rank
of the second squad, corses forth for
about 16 scintillating steps in another
song number. Clarence Wurdig has
an easy job making love to Billie
Dingnam, entrancingly garbed in
snimmering white, in "When the
Preacher Makes You Mine." Wurdig's
" " xwngnam s acting is excel
lent, and so Is the comedy Ben Dillon
proviaes as the country preacher
"Just You and I and the Baby" is
ftiaaeiine Mathews' number, which is
lent the full amount of comedy neces
sary uy song-aiaiogue with Ben Dil
lon. The whirlwind windup of the
show is punctuated with rib-straining
antics of the comedians and other
principals in a free-for-all dance.
Harvesters Damage Wheat.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 9.
(Special.) Use of combined harvest
ers with their speedy cylinders is aid
ing farmers in doing their harvesting
more rapidly, but it damages the
wheat for seed. Several farmers have
complained that wheat planted sev
eral weeks ago has failed to germi
nate. County Agent Virgil Patton
states that wheat is often chipped
while being run through the machines
and that when it is vitroled to kill
smut the vitriol enters the exposed
part of the wheat firrain and kills
the germ.
Baker.
BY LEONE CASS BAEK.
WITH all the Baker talent called
into requisition the presenta
tion of Max Marcin's "House of
Glass" was greeted yesterday by
demonstration.
The author proved himself an ex
pert in dealing with violent situa
tions. On the contrary, he displays
a proportionate lack of information
about railway systems. The hero
leaps, in a few months from "assist
ant brakeman," whatever that is, to
a managerial position, where he is
handed $50,000 bonuses and has more
authority than the president of the
road. All the railroads in the world
are bidding for his services.
The play carefully conceals Just
what his position was, but Mr. Mc
Adoo's was an office boy's job in
comparison. However, despite a few
such inconsistencies, and where is
the play that isn't full of them, there
Is much of sincere underlying mo
tives in "The House of Glass," there
is plenty of human nature, and the
plot is cohesive.
Also its acting is of an excellent
order, and Walter Gilbert, who is re
sponsible along with his scenic aides
and abettors, has equipped the play
with a fine regard for the real.
The interest in the story gains ma
terially by reason of the novel treat
ment of the material in hand. The
main story, which winds around the
attitude of one man, the herd, and the
husband of Margaret Case, takes on the
subject of criminology. He takes no
middle road. He has an unalterable
conviction that all criminals must be
punished. When after ten years of
unalloyed happiness with his wife he
learns that she is a hunted parole
violator, that she has served part of
a prison sentence, his fine theories
crumble.
The personal equation enters into
his philosophy. When he is convinced
that she was an "innocent victim, and
when all doubt and jealousies of the
other man, a chap who had been con
victed with her of theft, have been
erased from the husband's mind, he
forgives his wife. One sadly reflects
that it would have been more of a
slice of human life to have put his
love to the test of having him forgive
her before he found that she had been
an innocent victim.
It is a play that will certainly
cause discussion pro and con among
the folk who see it. As its title sug
gests, the preachment it offers is
that those of us who live in houses
of glass must not throw stones. The
wife arguing from personal knowl
edge for greater leniency for crim
inals, and the husband advocating no
mercy and no pity for criminals are
neither of them new figures. When
both sides have been heard, and our
sympathies swayed this way and that
way, we must still admit that the
author colored the problem for only
the ones concerned in the play, a he
question of what is best for society at
large still remains unanswered.
"The House of Glass" is a woman's
play, but the actorial honors, with
the exception of Verna Felton's play
ing, go to j. half dozen men. John
G. Fee as the crook, whose adventure
with Margaret Case lands her in the
law's toils, dominates every scene in
which he appears. He plays with
virility and repressed power, plus a
fine quality of sympathy, not sought
for but undeniably present. David
Herblin's role of the husband is made
a wholesome, manly interpretation,
and George R. Taylofs police com
missioner Is something to be vastly
enjoyed as an excellent piece of act
ing, in total disregard of the un
popular type represented.
Lee Millar gives a skilful and pol
ished playing of a fine friend to
Margaret and her husband, a role he
invests with a smiling good humor
which becomes infectious. Verna
Felton brought her fine sense of dra
matic values to the role of Margaret
Case and an outstanding feature in
her portrayal is the feeling of reality
she puts into her semblance of grief
when she is forced to reveal her past
to her husband.
Claire Sinclair adds a fine flavor
of comedy in her role as an Irish
landlady, with a laugh that inspires
responsive laughter from her audi
ence. Walter Corry as a smiling and
sibilant-voiced Jap servant. Mayo
Methot as a maid and Geraldine Dare
as the landlady's friendly daughter,
George P. Webster as a likable hu
man old railroad personage, Irving
Kennedy as a cop and William Lee as
a governor add luster to the cast.
The cast follows:

Hippodrome.
H'
UNDREDS of ex-service men
keenly enjoyed the showing of
government war pictures taken by
the United States signal corps at the
battles of St. Mihiel and the Meuse
Argonne now showing at the Hippo
drome. As practically every view rep
resents some action participated in
by the 91st division, many glimpses
of Oregon soldiers are to be had.
The motion pictures are not like
those shown in news weeklies, pur
porting to be on the front but actu
ally far behind the lines. One may
witness the explosion of gas bombs
on the position of an American artil
lery battery and may view supply
trains under bombardment. Intimate
views of the men as they were in
pup holes before several of the big
fights give those who remained at
home a clearer conception of life at
the front.
Accompanying the pictures is an
army lecturer who is an entertaining
and humorous story-teller. He tells
the personal history of some of the
men in the pictures and occasionally
rewards his audience by pointing out
Oregon veterans.
Mystic performances a-plenty has
Pitroff the Great, who unties knots,
escapes from locked trunks and puts
his two assistants in and out of curi
ous contrivances.
A whole collection of well-trained
dogs, "Pearl's Pets," have an act that
has several novelties, one of them
balancing on a rope by a small puppy.
Another one, done up in a comic
patchwork blanket, is skilled in walk
ing and jumping on his hind legs and
is the real comedian of the bow-wows.
Jules Klbeil and Pauline Flanders
furnish much fun with their alarm
less alarm clock, a device which
awakens the sleeper by cuffing him
on the head with a long tin arm.
This pair of comedians have a num
ber of good songs.'
A boy Impersonator is Helen Har
rington, who rirst appears as a
youthful sport and then as a girlish
singer. Others who have peppery
songs are the three who make up the
Broadway trio.
"Well, Well" is the title of a rural
skit put on by Maxine Alton and
company and deals with a dissatisfied
husband and wife whom a hayseed
justice of the peace unwittingly re
unites.

TRAFFIC IN VICE CHARGED
ALIENS COMMERCIALIZE LAW
VIOLATIONS, SAYS JCDGE.
Mr. Rusman Declares Greater Per
centage of Serious Offenses
Arc by foreigners.
"Why should the alien be allowed
to remain in the United States en
gaged in commercialized vice and
come up time after time in police and
other courts?" asked Municipal Judge
Rossman yestserday in commenting
upon the large percentage of aliens
represented in the business of the
municipal court in months past.
"Why. should the alien be per
mitted to violate American laws and
make a profit out of it?" continued
the judge.
The judge's observations were
caused by a study which he had Just
been making of the hearings coming
up in police court for the month of
September just past. The figures
showed that of the 1248 arrests made
during the month 398, or nearly a
third, were aliens.
"These figures are still more star
tling," said the judge, when It is con
sidered that the aliens almost invar
iably figure in crime cases such as I
gambling, bootlegging, drunkenness
and similar more serious violations, j
while a large percentage of the!
American cases are traffic violations, 1
most of them of a minor sort.
"I dare say," said the judge, "if a
further check were made we would
find where aliens have been allowed
to come Into this court a score of
times and still are permitted to go
free to prey again on society after
they may have paid a fine or served
a term in jail. f
"These figures show the large per
centage of aliens who are to a more
or less extent making money by a
violation of our laws," declared the
judge.
"Some men of foreign birth come
over here, settle down in some use
ful occupation and ultimately become
citizens. Many of these at first are
section hands on railroads, etc. An
other of their own nationality per
haps operates some sort of a joint
In the North End more or less in vio
lation of law, where he robs his own
countrymen of their hard-earned sav
ings. If a few of the latter type who
have no use for our country, except
to make a living by violation of our
laws, were shipped back whence they
came it would bring about a whole
some respect for our laws."

Mr. riekson said in part as follows:
"In direct answer to the pointed
and earnest question propounded by
the diseiples whom lie loved and
who loved him. "What shall be the
sifn of Thy eoming and of the end
of the world?" (Matt. 24:3) Jesus in
no ambiguous terms described fully
the political, social, moral, physical
and spiritual condition of that gener
ation which would be living upon the
earth when He appeared the second
time. Beginning in the days of an
cient history just prior to the de
struction of Jerusalem, tie directed
tho minds of the disciples to great
outstandine signs which should mark
the approach of the coming Christ,
making special mention, in the early
part of the chapter, of the rise of
false Chrisls, the coming of wars,
famines and earthquakes in "divers
places Standing out in bold relief
and pre-eminent above all the signs
of the times Christ spoke of the
spread of the good news of the set
ting up of His kingdom in the sound
ing of the gospel message just be
fore the end."
The speaker referred to the fart
that less than a century ago this
great message of the soon coming
of the Saviour first started in mod
ern times in this country, and that
not before the year 1874 did the for
eign missionary work of the Seventh
day Adventist people begin, and which
has now encircled the earth and en
tered nearly every nation under
heaven. This people, he stated, feel
that God has placed upon Christians
in this generation the great task of
warning the world's inhabitants of
the destruction soon to come to the
earth at Christ's second coming, and
to present tho glad gospel of not
only a Saviour, who has died and ris
en and ascended, but also that same
Jesus of whom the angels spoke.
"This same Jesus which is taken up
from you into heaven, shall so come
in like manner as ye have seen Him
go into heaven."
"As additional proof that we are
living in the last generation we might
notice," said the evangelist, "the fact
that one hundred years ago there
were less than one hundred Protes
tant missionaries at work in non
Christian lands, and these were con
fined to a very few pl.-ices. Today
there are twenty-five thousand for
eign missionaries at work in non
Christian and non-Protestant lands.
These workers are being assisted by
one hundred twenty-five thousand
native Christian workers who have
been won to the cross of Christ. Mis
sionaries are being sent out by the
Adventist people alone at the rate
of over one hundred every year, and
for the sustentation of the world
wide work of this church the total
yearly gifts amount now to nearly
$T0 per capita. This is a greater
showing than any other relieious so
ciety in the world for its size.
"After locating the signs in the
heavens as due Immediately after the
tribulation of the dark ages, which
would be shortened for the elect's
sake (through the reformation car
ried on by Martin Luther), the Saviour
foretold the darkening of the sun
which occurred along with the dark
ening of the moon on May 19, 1870.
and the miraculous falling of the
stars on November 13. 183a. There
shall be signs." said the Saviour
(I.u. 21:25), and every sign which
He foretold has been fulfilled to
date, not one failing. This genera
tion has witnessed every fulfillment,
and no other generation of men has
ever witnessed these things. This
being true and facts bemit rather
stubborn things, should not the world
today rejoice to know that just as
surely as summer immediately fol
lows that season marked by the "put
ting forth of leaves.' just so surely
'this generation." our generation
'shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled" (Matt. 24:32-34). and
Christ will come to gather home His
chosen people, those who have chos
en Him and made Him first in their
lives."
The lectures will continue each
Sunday evening in Christensen's hall
and the great prophecies of the Bible
will be explained. Beginning next
Kriday evening. November 14, Evan
gelist Piekson will hold a tri-weekly
series of lectures in Voodlawn hail,
