IRISH ENTER PROTEST
TO LEAGUE COUNCIL
Body Held to Be "Engine
Empire" in Document.
of
ENGLISH RULE CHARGED
System Declared Calculated to
Prove "Worst World-Disturbing
Factor" and "Curse."
PARIS. Jan. 16. The council of the
league of nations received the first
formal protest to be presented to it
almost before it came into being with
today's initial sessions. 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. The document was
signed "Ouaklaigh Duffy." It regis
tered objections to the pretended
league of nations and declared the
league to be an "engine of empire,
designed to secure and perpetuate
JCnglish ''hegemony throughout both
hemispheres."
The protest insisted that the league
was illusory and incomplete, lacking
authority and sanction, and declared
that the United States stood out in
indignation and repudiation of it.
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. By throwing
the mantle of rifrht over the doing of
wrong it threatens to be a curse to
mankind.
I.rnBme "liinlrumrnt of Vr."
"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."
BILL AGITATES ' ASTORIA

Amendment of Bill Demanded
Deprive Portland of Power
to Levy Big Tax.
to
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan
16. (Special.) But for an amend
ment to Senator Norblad's port bill
the Port of Portland would have been
empowered to raise 130.000,000 with
out a vote of the people. 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. As soon as this
situation was discovered, heavy Port
land taxpayers protested vigorously
and by a simple amendment, agreed
to by Norblad, the Portland port was
shorn of this power, while the Port of
Astoria was left unmolested.
The rumor of difficulty reached
Astoria and all day long distance tele
phones and telegraph messages poured
into the statehouse protesting against
the supposed attempt of Portland to
interfere with Astoria. One Astorian
telegraphed for a list to be compiled
of every Portlander fighting the Nor
blad port measure.

Calling for Xames on Cans.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan
16. (Special.) "If Oregon fruits and
vegetables are not sufficiently meri

was the assertion made by Speaker
Jones this afternoon in an address
on the floor of the house in support
of the bill providing that all persons,
firms or corporations engaged in the
business of packing fruits or vege
tables, should label all containers' to
chow that the contents were of Ore
gon production. The bill passed the
house by a vote of 42 to 6.-
"We want Oregon fruits to be
labeled Oregon fruits," said Speaker
Jones, "and I am surprised that there
is any discussion in this house re
garding the passage of this bill."

"With victory comes attendant and
correlative duties and responsibilities.
In harmony with the unselfish
motives which led to our entry into
the war, we are insistent upon a set
tlement which will preclude a repe
tition of the horrors of 1914-1918, so
far as human judgment can foresee.
Some sacrifices of established prece
dents and policies are involved.
"Some form of international cove
nant which seeks to prevent war is
n moral necessity. The differences
ietween the president and the senate
should be composed without delay by
such mutual concessions regarding
reservations as may be necessary in
the treaty to secure ratification."

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."

TEACHER'S HOME RAIDED
Professor Resigns Because of Al
leged Radical Views.
GAINESVILLE, Fla.. 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.
