The protest was from an "envoy of the elected sovernment of trie Irish republic." atrainst "the unreal Knglish simula crum of an international league of peace." No mention of the protest was made during the meeting of the council, but copies were handed to the newspaper correspondents after they left the foreign office.

Eniclixh Scheme, In Charge. The protest continues: "The constitution of the English made league of nations as it stands Is a subtle English scheme to obtain from other governments moral sanc tion for the English claim to hold and keep control of peoples and territories which in past centuries and in recent days England has by fraud and bloody conquest added to her empire. "While purporting to be a great and all-powerful influence for universal peace, it is, in fact, calculated to be come one of the wcrst yorld disturb ing factors in history.

"We deny to this league its claim to recognition as an instrument of peace. To Judge by the test of Eng land it already is an instrument of war, and we protest against the at tempt of England and her allies to force upon the world an audacious imposture instead of establishing the responsible and impartial internation 1 assembly promised by President Wilson as the outcome of a -war os tensibly fought for the freedom of small nationalities and the destruc tion of militarism. "Therefore, on behalf of our own historic nation, whose struggle for liberty is an example of oppressed peoples throughout the world, we warn imperialistic governments that' their league upon its present English model cannot last. "We demand the establishment of a democratic league of nations found ed upon the principles of justice and freedom, a league to whose courts of arbitration subject nations can have recourse with the assurance that right will be done."

The Nor blad bill was drafted with a view to enabling the Port of Astoria to raise several million dollars for the naval base and other things, but other port legislation was also in process of en actment and these, together, would have given greater taxation powers to the Portland port.

RIVOLI THEATER HAS auspicious opEr.ir.G Mayor Baker Makes Formal Dedication Address. MR. GUTERSON PRAISED Musician, Director-General, Is In troduced to Audience by Film, and Then Appears. With a line of persons stretching from the ticket window around the corner down to Stark, and then half way back again to Washington, for the second show, and every seat in the house filled with expectant, en thusiastic motion-picture fans, the formal opening of the Rivoli theater last night. was unusually pretentious. Mayor Baker made the formal ded ication address. "Portland for two reasons is particularly fortunate in having Misha Guterson make heavy investments in Portland, as he and his associates have done in buying the Strand and opening the Rivoli theater," said Mayor Baker. "A theater backed by Mr. Guterson is assured of being a musical center within a community. Mr. Guterson is known nationally for the high type of music associated with tlie motion picture theaters in which he has played. Secondly, and just s im portant, Mr. Guterson's name has al ways been connected with pictures of the cleanest and most entertaining type. "I have been criticised for the cen soring of motion-picture entertain ments. 1 can stand the criticism. -Nothing is finer than a clean motion picture programme, and I am glad of every house- in Portland where the snowing wholesome pictures is an ideal." Introduction Is Unique. Misha Guterson, director of the Rivoli orchestra and vice-president or me .rtivoii board of directors, was introduced in unique manner. E. Marshall Taylor, manager, came on to he stage and told briefly of Mr. Gu- erson's ideals for music in a cinema house. 'Mr. Guterson believes that appro- riate music is all imDortant to the pest snowing of a motion picture. said Mr. Taylor. "He does not intend that music shall predominate except n concert numbers. The entire pur pose of the music during the showing i a screen feature is to raise the icture to its highest and best power r eloquence, and to make more sym pathetic and expressive its theme. Something has delayed Mr. Guterson, He must be here right away, and while waiting for him I ask you to be patient and watch a little - picture which shall be immediately thrown n the screen With this conclusion a motion picture of Mr. Taylor outside the Rivoli wildly looking for the missing director was shown. The audience caught the idea instantly. The film went on .to show Manager Taylor down at the Portland union deoot ooking for the train bringing in Mr. Guterson. With its arrival he was seen hurrying up to Mr. Guterson and hastening him into a waiting car. The car drove the two up to the en trance of the Rivoli. where it was dis covered tnat Mr. liuterson, upon lighting from the machine, was in business suit instead of formal even- ng attire, as were other members of the Rivoli management for the opening night. Mr. Gutenton Appears. Mr. Guterson, in the continuation of the picture, went back into the closed car, vanished for a second and mmediately reappeared in the formal f ish-and-soup dress. At that point the lights in the theater flashed on and Mr. Guterson appeared in person, He was enthusiastically received by crowd which, by ardent applause, signified a desire for a speech. , His only answer other than numerous bows was the waving of his baton to his orchestra and the commencement of Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodie No. 2. The titles for the novelty film by which Mr. Guterson was introduced were in Limerick form and wen written by Linton L. Davies. a Port land newspaper man. . Rhapsodie la Played. The orchestra, under Mr. Guterson's direction in the Hungarian Rhapso die, demonstrated remarkable con trasting tone shades. The pianissimo effects, followed and preceded by magnificent ensembles. gave a de cided dramatic atmosphere to the ex ecution of the selection. A harp solo and a cello solo added to the richness and wide range of appeal of the com position. It was followed by a dainty serenade by Pierne. In this selection Mr. Guterson himself played. A Prizma colored picture of Monte Carlo and the American service men who visited it on leave preceded "Th Golden Trail," the principal screen of the evening. "The Golden Trail." picture 'made in Portland last sum mer. was enthusiastically received. At its conclusion Jean Hersholt. ac companied by his small son Allen, ap peared in person. Mr. Hersholt played the heavy and character roles in th picture and his small son had the ju venile part. The Rivoli theater board of direc tors is composed of J. Aronson, presi dent; Misha Guterson, vice-president W. H. Butchart, treasurer: Frank Bayley, secretary; E. Marshall Tay lor. assistant treasurer.

Jan. 16.--After federal agents raided the home of Vewell L. Sims, professor of sociology and political science at the Univer sity of Florida, it became known that the professor's resignation had bee requested because of alleged radical views. Federal agents made public a letter they say Professor Sims had written last spring to A. S. Hensey, missionary in Africa, in which the United States government was de nounced and the Russian soviet sys tem praised. The letter was seized and opened in London, they said, and was sent to the United States depart ment of justice. 'The whole procedure is a piece of tomfoolery," Professor Sims said to day. He asserted he was a "liberal." but not a bolshevist or radical, and declared he was not in sympathy with any of the radical movements. He denied that the literature found war ranted the allegations made by fed eral agents. POLAND SEEMS SECURE Imminent Menace From Red At- tack Xot Indicated. LONDON, Jan. 16. Poland's situa tion as regards a possible bolshevik military onslaught se4ms to be fairly secure at present, in the opinion of military experts. There is always danger of a concerted red attack against the Poles, they point out, but there are no indications of an immi nent menace. Most of the bolshevik time and energy are in the southern front and are being devoted to an effort to de feat General Denikine, who is fight ing doggedly and apparently is still strong enough to give the enemy plenty of trouble. Therefore, it is considered problematical whether the reds w'ill attempt any big drive against the Poles at present. MANY LOST ON VESSEL Terror-stricken Pray While Other Passengers Are Calm.
