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. The
theater was packed. The engagement

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.
I from issuing any permits affecting
contested oil lands in the Red River
Valley pending a final decision on the
boundary proceedings instituted by
the state of Oklahoma.
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.

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. In the meantime taking of tes
timony, subject to the general objec
tion, is progressing.

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.

MOXTESANO "VERDICT."
Radicals Fail in Attempt to Storm
Meeting and Overrule De

Oreganized labor of Portland Thurs
day refused to adopt the "verdict
of the labor jury which sat at the
trial of the I. W. W. slayers at Monte

tral Labor council upheld Presiden
Nickerson, who refused to put a mo
tion calling for an adoption of the
report submitted by Delegate New
man, who was the labor "juror" from
Portland who sat at the trial.
After Newman's report had been
read, in which it was stated the labor
jury had "acquitted" the I. W. W
slayers responsible for the armistice
day outrage at Centralia last Novem
ber, a motion was put to adopt the re

President Nickerson refused to pu

deavored to storm the meeting by ap
pealing from the decision of the chair.
The president was upheld in his con
tention and the report was then filed.
It was said it would not again come
before the council for any action at
all.

Apollo Club Male Chorus
Gives Pleasing Concert.
MIms Florence Macbeth AsMfntlng

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.

Which Was the Real Woman?
Was the laughing, dancing butterfly of
wealth and luxury the real she? Or was it
the -worker, the hard worker of brawn and

Rupert Hughes picture, because the story
unfolds naturally and mysteriously just as
life itself. It is a great picture!
