PEACE STARTS TROUBLE Xon-Partisan League Called Para blte of Worst Type Dy Well Traveled Investigator. A warning- of the necessity for Awakening- the business men and bankers of Oregon to the Insidious appeals of the nou-partisan league to farmers and organized working men was sounded Thursday at the meeting of the Portland chapter of the Amer ican Institute of Banking. Robert H. Bean, president of the American ac ceptance council, who recently toured Minnesota and the Dakotas, sees in Hs activities danger to the principles of government. It was the 11th annual diner of the local. A. L. Fraley. president of the chapter, opened the programme with a brief statement of the growth of the past year. A. L. Mills, pi evident of the First National bank, was toast master. The talks of the evening were in happy vein, but seriously de voted to aspects of the conditions that are outstanding in the present status of affairs in the nation. Mr. Bean compared the state of the nation to the balance sheet of a great business. Ho said in part: Peace Start Trouble. "Sixteen months ago America and the world came out of a great strug gle, heaved a sigh of relief and con tented themselves with that thought that the war was over and troubles at an end. But a lot of things can happen in 16 months. There came the great railroad strike, the Boston police strike, the coal strike and the strike over In Seattle. "As we emerged from the war there was a great deal said about what should be done in this country. Poli ticians listened with a great deal of Interest: theorists gave their opinions; boards of trade and commercial or conizations gave their views, and the board of the Federal Reserve bank took the responsibility of doing some things that they decided had to be done. Promises, dreams, hopes amount to nothing if we do not realize what is necessary to bring them about as re alitics. "The Boston policemen who went out on strike are still striking police men and they will remain so. If the time ever comes that the American Federation of Labor believes it has the power to enforce the return of those men to their places on the Bos ton police force it will be done. "I have been up in a section of the country that it seems is almost set off by itself; a region where schools, counties, yes and even congressional districts, are completely controlled by an organization; where banks and business institutions are owned by a political organization, and that is the non-partisan league. It is like piece of candy on a stick, covered on tne outside with pure, clean sugar and the inside a rank poison. League Called Parasite. "It Is coming out here with its re sources of money and an organization that inniduously intrudes itself into the confidence and gains the support of that class of people who do not think for themselves. And I want to tell you that there is no organization better equipped to exert its power and spread its influence. It is deadly parasite that fastens itself vpon a community, and fattens upon She resources of the sections in which it is planted. It appeals to the farm er with promisee of high prices for his products and alluring promises of benefits to be derived, and it ap peals to the laborer with hopes of Jjig-her wages. That is the experience cf Minnesota and the Dakotas.' J. K. Parrish of Salt Lake City a former president of the association was introduced and talked briefly, Gardner B. Perry of Albany, N. Y national president of the institute, confined his address to portraying the principles that the institute en deavors to instill into the minds and hearts of its members. as they are entering the cellar by way of an old abandoned well. Then Havernip and Von Mohr realize their political ambitions and bind to their interests the four imbibers, threat ening disclosures unless the four elect Havernip mayor and Von Mohr sheriff. The cellar now becomes the prize, with everybody fighting for its possession, and after the election is over and Von Mohr and Havernip elected, it is disclosed that they have used the contents of the cellar to buy votes. This is merely the skeleton of the story. It is aadded out with sones and steps and plenty of Jokes, most of them new, which is an achievement. William Kolb, the elongated come dian whose long legs can pantomime expression and whose lightning-like leaps and aggressive gyrations are always amazing and very funny, plays the role of Havernip. Mr Kolb, inci dentally, attended to the production of the play. Max Dill wrote It, aided and abetted by Jean Havez. Mr. Dill plays the chuckling, sur face-brave, diplomatic Von Mohr and. as always, proves a comfortable and happy foil for the idiosyncrasies and comedy of the subtle Kolb. May Cloy is lovely. She is Mrs. Kolb and a Portland girl a pre-ordained blonde, without affectations and a positive joy to watch. She plays the role of Von Mohr's daughter. Another beautiful gold-and-snow girl is Marie Rich, who has a sweet sing ing voice. George Banta Jr. has a light baritone that pleases and in a series of songs several fresh,, youthful voices are brought out. A saucy minx Patsy Allen sings a gay Irish song and Ruth Williams, a stately girl who sings a solo, charms with the beauty of her soprano. The frocks and hats are attractive. Miss Cloy and Miss Rich are gor geously appareled and be-plumed and good to look at. The play is filled with clever lines and bits of intricate business, devices, ingenious contriv ances and odds and ends to call forth laughter, with the result that every body laughs most of the time.

California Federation Adopts Res olutions Setting Forth Stand on Mooted Question. SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., April 2. (Special.) The purchase of real prop erty by Japanese In the interests of their American-born children is not only legitimate, but advisable, and the proposal absolutely to prohibit the leasing of agricultural land is unjusti fiable, according to a statement issued by the San Francisco Bay fed eration of churches. The feder ation, which consists of ministers aid laymen in four counties bordering Sac Francisco bay and has as president Fred Parr, president of the Parr-Mc-Cormick Steamship company and the Parr Terminal company, has resolved: "In view of the acuteness 'of the political situation In California and of its International aspects we deem it wise to make the following utter ance: "1. The restriction of oriental im migration is both necessary and wise, and the existing agreement between Japan ' and America should be - con tinued, and, if necessary, strength ened. "2. We deprecate the spirit of venom, and bitterness that is being sedulously injected into this discus sion. Our national honor and our sense of international morality demand that our alien residents and their children be treated justly. - "8. we heartily indorse the effort of our national government for the Americanization of our alien elements and believe that In order to American ize them we should deal with them sympathetically and in accordance with our traditional spirit of equity and fair play; otherwise we will nul lify our attempts at making loyal Americans of them and thejr children." The statement of which this reso lution is part argues that it is the instinct and duty of all parents to rovide for the well-being and edu cation of their children and that adop- lon of the proposal to prohibit the leasing of agricultural land would condemn the Japanese to a condition ittle better than that of serfdom or lavery.

The court also enjoined both states from removing any of the machinery b.t used in taking gas or oil from the land and ordered the appointment of Jacob M. Dickinson of Chicago as receiver to take possession of the lands and property. The injunction was granted at the motion of the government, which asked to be made a party to the pro ceedings. Mr. Dickinson, who was secretary of war under President Taft, was or dered to take possession of the lands and property within 15 days and after a complete investigation report to the supreme court relative to the develop ment of the contested lands. He also was authorized to operate or close any of the wells if advisable. His bond was fixed at $100,000. The boundary controversy arose af ter the discovery of valuable oil and gas deposits in the Red River region and recently became so heated that armed conflict between the states was threatened. mexigo mm DEBT UUERTA OBLIGATIONS LIKELY .

Positions of Settlers and Company Arc Reversed From Four Years Ago Rate Increase Asked. BEND, Or., April 1. (Special.) Pour years ago the Central Oregon Irrigation company denied the right of the state public service commis sion to interfere in the conduct of its business, while attorneys for the set tiers on the project asked that the commission prevent discrimination In the delivery of water and enforce proper maintenance. Today these po sitions were reversed when Fred A. Williams and H. H. Corey, members of the commission, opened In Red mond the hearing of the application of the company to be allowed to charge $2. SO an acre maintenance fees instead of 80 cents, and $1 an acre provided for in the Central Ore gon irrigation contracts with the in dividual settlers. Attorneys for the irrigation dis trict, Harrison Allen and John R. Lat ourette of Portland, and H. K. Dear- mond and Charles W. Krskine of Bend, objected to the introduction of all testimony on the grounds that the commission has no jurisdiction, as the company is not a public service cor poration. Chief among the arguments of th counsel for the company, Jesse Stearns and Denton G. Burdick, was the introduction of the fact that wa ter for municipal use in Redmond and Bend is furnished by the company. The queston has been referred to Attorney-General Brown for an opin ion.

A SONG-STORY of the sweet dry and dry, a temperance episode writh a kick to it and music as a chaser, is Kolb and Dill's newest of fering. . They call it "Wet and Dry," and it takes for discussion the more or less pertinent topic or prohibition. While opinions may differ as to whether there is anything funny about prohibition, and while we may not all agree that the bone-dry law is a comedy and not a tragedy, there can be but one opinion of Kolb and Dill's play. It is very amusing and a good vehicle wagon in this case for the two comedians. They are newcomers in the village of Brueville, where the Ladies' Temperance Union offers the wildest form of social ac tivity, and where four old fossils, 4 per cent prohis, run the morals and manners of the place. One of these is the mayor, who pulls all the po litical strings, one is the bank presi dent, one runs the Golden Rule store and the fourth runs the hotel. In their several callings they have an nexed all the liquor that has been confiscated unto the law, and have etored it in the cellar of an old house owned by Hank Havernip and his brother, Von Mohr. Every night the four fine old sots gather together and imbibe freely . in the cellar of Von Mohr's home, and- the people in the house think the place is haunted. A darky mammy who has been nurse to .Havernip's son and Von Mohr's daughter since their infancy is one of the picturesque characters in the story, whose tales of the "sperrits" and goings on in the cellar are cod vulsingly funny. When the four citizens try every day to purchase the house Von Mohr and Havernip set to wondering, and by accident one day Havernip dis covers the cellar under the house. Tht two old schemers wait until -light fall and then capture the four ("ACQUITTAL" IS REJECTED COUNCIL REFUSES TO PASS OX MOXTESANO "VERDICT."

Plumpness Makes Health Thin People Heed Thin. Apollo Club Male Chorus Gives Pleasing Concert. MIms Florence Macbeth AsMfntlng as Soprano, Is Declared to Be Pretty Stage I'll-to re. BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. THE 57 men singers of the Apollo club male chorus, assisted by Miss Florence Macbeth, coloratura soprano of the Chicago Grand Opera company. deserve credit for the satisfying con cert they gave Thursday night in pub lie auditorium to an audience that comfortably filled most of that vast concert hall. Miss Macbeth 1b a dainty-looking singer, with lots of smiles and cheer ful animation to make her the pretty stage picture that she is. She is winsome as a sprite, and a healthy one at that. Work in grand opera has not worn her young, brilliant voice, which is exceptionally euitable also for the high-class concert field, where she is decidedly a vocal jewel. Her sparkling voice Is high-Bet, tune ful and blessed also with beautiful clarity. Her diction . is careful and finely distinct. The famous Shadow Song" from Meyerbeer's opera, "Dinorah," taxes the vocal abilities of ny soprano to do it justice. The sweet voice of Galli Curci is remembered in the rendition of this artistic selection. Miss Mac beth gave a good account of herself as artist in singing this "Shadow Song," with its wealth of runs, trills. ascending scales and vocal fireworks generally. She easily reached the ex treme high notes above the staff, and sang them with the easy, natural grace of a blackbird. Miss Macbeth was rapturously recalled by a pleased audience, and her extra selection was 'Cuckoo Clock" (Schaefer), a highly amusing ditty. Miss Macbeth s other numbers had agreeable, entertaining value and her rendition of the Marion' Bauer song. 'Star Trysts," was notably excellent. Her other extra numbers were "Winds in the South" (Pringle Scott) and two Scotch songs, "Annie Laurie" and "Comln" Thro' the Rye." The two lat ter were exquisitely presented. Miss Macbeth also sang Incidental soli. with the chorus, the chief being a gem by Ethelbert Nevin. The chorus sang in fine, rousing style the bravura numbers, the chief of these being "Chorus oi Bishops and Priests" (Meyerbeer).- William H. Boyer arranged the music of three other numbers and did good work there. The unaccompanied choruses, notably "O Thank Me Not" (Franz Boyer), "To Celia" (old English), and "When You and I Were' Young, Mag gie" (Butterfleld-Boyer), were sung with charming delicacy and shaded beauty. "Mammy's Lullaby" (Dvorak. bprons). was another well sung num ber, and it had to be repeated. The entire concert was a red-letter one. well worth remembering. Mr. Boyer directed the chorus wUh mu siclanly ability. The four aecompar. ists were George Roberts, Edgar E. Coursen and William C. McCulloch, piano, and Ralph W. Hoyt. pipe organ, all of whom played with fine skill. Prosecution in Utah Case to Seek to Establish Proof of False - Statements. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 2. That it will be the aim of the federal trade commission to prove that the Utah-Idaho Sugar company and the Amalgamated Sugar company have conspired unfairly to hamper inde pendent sugar companies in Utah and Idaho in their enterprises while en gaged in interstate commerce, was declared by Henry Ward Beers, spe cial attorney for the commission, who opened the hearing of the complaint against the sugar companies before Judge Dunham, examiner, Thursday. Mr. Beers stated that it will also be the purpose of the prosecution to prove that the respondents have con spired to circulate false statements of competitors and prospective competi tors; have canvassed the beet growing territory in Utah and Idaho and en tered into long time contracts with beet growers; have caused banks to refuse credit to competitors and pros pective competitors and have used their influence and money power to prevent the building of spurs and tracks for the use of competitors. $500,000,000 Set as Grand Total of Government Liabilities in Orriclal Statement.
