GROSS DENOUNCES LEAGUE "Wisconsin Delegate Also Declares for Paying Soldiers Amount That Civilians Earned. CHICAGO, June 10. The republican platform omitted all reference to Ire land. Flanks proposed by Irish sympa thizers were lost before the resolu tions sub-committee and hot pressed in the full committee or convention. The Irish cause twice went down to defeat before the sub-committee. A plank proposed by Frank P. Walsh, eaid to have been sponsored by Kamonn de Valera, calling- for recog nition of the Irish republic, was re jected by the sub-committee, mem bers stated, without dissent. Louis K. Coolidge of Massachusetts then offered another plank of more mod erate tone, but it was lost on ' a tie vote, six to six, according to reports from the committee. McCamant With Opposition. Senator Borah and Mr: Coolidge led the unsuccessful fight for the plank. William Heyburn of Kentucky and Judge Wallace McCamant of Oregon, were said to have led the opposition, arguing that some authority with power to act, and not a political con vention should deal with the subject. They also were reported to have argued that such a plank would inter fere with affairs of a friendly nation. Ernest Gross, delegate from Wis consin, presented a minority report to the convention, advocating the immediate conclusion of peace and the resumption of trade relations. He opposed the league of nations and denounced the treaty. Dlftarmament Is Urged. He said he favored speedy disarma ment; immediate restoration of free speech and press; repeal of the es pionage act, and laws permitting labor and farm organizations to or ganize for collective bargaining. He opposed the exile of any per sons lawfully admitted to this coun try without due process of law, fav ored repeal of the railroad law and declared for the ultimate public ownership of railroads and gradual acquisition of stockyard terminals, large packing plants and all natural resources. He favored paying soldiers an amount equal to what a civilian could have earned during their time of en listment. Three voices were heard voting "yes" while a volume of "noes" was returned when his resolution was placed before the convention. 1 vi HeiMg. BT LEONE CASS BAER. IS 16 years since Louis Mann isited Portland. He says he does not recall the name of the play he presented. Sixteen years hence it Is safe to wager he Will .not have for gotten the play he presented last night, nor the warmth of admiration and appreciation that swept across the footlights to him and his most excellent company. The play Is "Friendly Enemies" and the audience was for the main part members and connections of tha Progressive Busi ness Men's club. "Friendly Enemies" Is a reviver of faith, hope and charity, a strength ener of loyalty, and teaches the sub limity of sacrifice, and stresses the doctrines of sympathy and tolerance. It is a positive tribute to the actual excellency of the play and the human qualities expressed In Its theme that it is still triumphant, still effective and potent as a play in this day long after the war has ended and the spirit of those other days Is reck oned to have abated. A less worthy war episode would long since have proved unpopular, after serving as this one did, to stupendously stir in the war's be ginning. That "Friendly Enemies" lives and endures and delights and teaches is' due nrlmarilv to it close hewing to the lines of reality, andT because the characters who people it are very human and natural. It has a message, too, a preachment, a sug gestion rather, to restore to the minds of Americans a confidence in the qualities for good in the citizens of the United States who are of Ger man blood. Louis Mann is reminiscent of David Warfleld In his repressed emotions, his outflung rapid gesturing and in his voice. His is quite as much a naturalness and gift of individuality as is Mr. Warfield's. and it is merely another demonstration of the law of coincidence, and in no sense an imi tation. Mr. Mann makes us weep, or smile, or break into hearty laughs, or. sober into serious thought through his skillful artistry. He portrays a German - born American, staunchly loyal to his fatherland, a loving auto crat in his home and devoted to his boy, whom he calls Wllhelm, but who is a loyal American and to everyone else is Billy. When the lad enlists and leaves for France the old Ger man's loyalty to the fatherland he has idolized does not falter, although his heart is breaking. It requires a tremendously cruel stroke and the entering of the personal equation into the life of the old man, to shatter his faith, but when it is once shat tered he becomes an American over night. The happenings are occasion ally melodramatic, and sometimes Mr. Mann's comedy becomes broad farce, but these moments are more than made up for by the exquisite pathos at other times and in the hearty, good fun of the entire piece. The supporting company is flaw less. Jess Dandy, a master of comedy, of "Prince of Pilsen" memory. portrays a German-born American PIPER CALLS FOR MOSES DEFEAT HELD INVITED BY TRIO OF PARTY DIVISIONS Sun and Herald Firmly Opposes Johnson, Wood and Low den for High Nomination. whose love for his adopted country is the big fine thing In his life. It is the arguments and debates between these two. both German born, one a sympathizer with his fatherland, one a loyal American citizen, that oc casions most of the fun. Marie Reichardt is admirable as to accent and a certain motherly substance as the 'German adherent's wife. Joseph Sterling is a self-reliant, intensely genuine soldier boy, and Betty Alden Is his fiancee, a pretty, capable girl. This play will continue at the Heilig the rest of the week.

DIRECTORS ARE -INDORSED Hippodrome. WILLIAM BRANBELL sponsors the very ' clever turn which spar kles at the top of the new bill at the Hippodrome. Brandell's name In this instance is just like stamping ster ling on an article. The title of the attraction is "Honeymoon Inn" and takes the form of a musical satire with a plot of consequence. The theme concerns a group of seven brides who are stranded and the ef forts, of two "Mr. Fixits" to lessen their sorrows and assist the group to happiness. Most of the comedy falls to Charles R. Young and Howard Piggott. who - toss the ball of fun back and forth rapidly and with ex cellent comedy results. The group of girls are youthful and very pretty, and each contributes a generous share of dance steps, songs and smiles. Their picturesque frocks add to the picture. The piece is hand somely staged. An attractive act is that of Josie Moore and her partner, Joe Ryan, whose divertisement is called "Leave That to Me." This saying they clev erly incorporate in songs and say ings. Their closing event is particu larly clever. Miss Moore's frocks are smart and colorful. An effective background is of blue scattered with huge flower designs and a nook holds a big piano. William Sisto is an "Italian states man," who hesitatingly and labo riously makes what he says is his "first speech." He touches on every subject with resultant laughter at his unexpected shafts of fun. Bert Spencer and George Ross are a keen pair. They have a comedy skit called "What Do You Think From This," and their fur.ning is alogether new and original. They are both young and full of pep in their songs and steps. The Randow trio consists of two able men and a capable woman who have sense of humor and put it to work in their act, a clever tumbling and acrobatic turn. They introduce spectacular and unique feats which surprise and thrill. The photo play is of unusual in terest and features Lyons and Moran in a comedy called "Everything but the Truth."

WOODWARD TALKS Diplomas Presented to 3 0 at Coiri- Hlgh School. SUNDAY CLOSING BEATEN MOTION PICTURE HOUSES TO STAY OPEN, VOTERS DECIDE, CHICAGO, June 10 (Special.) The New York Sun and Herald in its lead ing editorial comments thus on the duty of the republican party: "The Sun and New York Herald is not responsible in any measure for being tor any man now under dis cussion for the presidential nomina tion. It is therefore in a position to speak plainly and to speak solely with the interests of the country in view. "There are now three distinct ele ments in the republican party. They are ultra conservatives, the liberal conservatives and the radicals. For the convention to see this fact clearly is to be in the way of acting wisely in naming its candidates for presi dent and vice-president. "To name an ultra conservative in this situation would be to invite de feat in the election. To name a well defined radical would be catering with equal zeal to disaster at the polls. The country has passed up its ultra con servatives and hasn't yet, thank God, gone over to the radicals. The liberal conservatives occupy a middle ground between these two extreme elements and pretty accurately represent. In the main, all that is alive, alert, sen suous, vivid and progressive in the republican party of 1920. "We designate the men of this ele ment of the party as liberal conser vatives for the reason that there is no single word that precisely suggests their political attitude. They are liberal in thought and feeling and are awake to the fact that the world moves and that we must move with it or pass into history conservative where conservatism means soundness not wnere it means the dead past. They are conservative where conser vatism means constitutional govern ment. means property rights, means incentive to our citizens, and this, coupled with a sensitive, alert liberal ism that looks forward, not back ward, is a comfortable kind of con servatism to live with, to build on and to stand for to the death. Vlf this view of the situation be the view of the majority of the Chi cago convention. Senator Hiram John son. will not get the nomination and should not get it because he could not be elected. Me could not carry the conservative eastern states in the election against a less radical demo crat, and no republican could be elected without the vote of these states. "ersonauy, this newspaper feels very kindly toward Senator Johnson and holds him in high regard as a man of great force. If he were liberal conservative and the public understood him to be such and if he stood squarely for the things for which this element of the party stands, his ambition for the nomina tion would have a strong appeal to us, "But personal consideration should not count in the elections of candi dates for president and because this is so the New York Sun and Ne York Herald must as well oppose the nomination of both General Wood and Governor Lowden, though it holds them in warm personal friendship as it" does Senator Johnson. In the event of the nomination of either General Wood or Governor Lowden the republican party would be placed on the defensive because of the vast sums of money spent by each in the effort to secure delegates enough to make sure his nomination. "The coming election is not the landslide thing that many republicans fancy. It is much more likely to be a close contest than an easy repub lican victory. In this event can th republican party wisely nominate any other than a candidate who would combine masterful ability with un doubted availability? Can it take merce William F.

The fight of the Dallas churches to close the moving picture theaters in the city on Sunday was lost yesterday when the citizens of the town in a spe cial election decided they wanted the Sunday evening shows by a vote of 40 to 260, ending a bitter fight. Church members appeared before the city council with a petition signed by several hundred people asking the council to close the Sunday shows, as they greatly interfered with their at tendence at church. The council re ferred the issue to the voters. Several years ago the same question was brought up and the council de cided to close the movies, but in a suit in the Polk county circuit court Judge Harry H. Belt decided that the shows had a license to run on Sundays. A debate on the subject was held recently in the theater building by representatives of Dallas churches and the picture show interests. Rev. Clar ence True Wilson of Portland was one who spoke against the shows. The Seventh Day Adventists took sides with the moving picture houses. Among other measures passed at the special election was one-to change the precincts, in the city of Dallas making four voting precincts instead of three; an amendment to the city charter au thorizing the council to assess and levy taxes for general municipal pur poses not to exceed 11 mills on the dollar in any one year; and another amendment to the charter authorizing the city council to assess and levy a special tax of 14 mills on the dollar for the support and maintenance of the Dallas public library. The vote cast in the election was the largest cast in a city election in Dallas for several years. Unanimous indorsement of the .spe cial $950,000 mlllage tax measure for the public schools of Portland was given by organized labor last night when the Central Labor council went on record in favor of the measure and urged every - member of organized labor to work for Us passage. It was pointed out by several speakers that unless this money is voted to the school district Portland will be compelled to purchase more portable school rooms and will get so far behind In its building programme that It will take years to catch up to its normal needs. Temple Stockholders May. Vote. Every member of organized labor whose union owns stock in the labor temple is entitled to vote on the millage measure as a legal taxpayer. it was declared at the meeting, and members were urged to assert this right when they go to the polls at the regular school election, June 19. and register- their votes for the passage of this special tax levy. The council likewise appointed a special committee to assist In the campaign of its two candidates for school directors, A. W. Jones and Sam Murhard. After a short debate it was decided to select five delegates to an indus trial conference which is sponsored by the Portland federation of churches. Five delegates are to be sent from the employers and five from the general public. General economic and industrial conditions in Oregon are to be considered at the projected conference. Delegate Opposes Ministers. Strong opposition to organized labor taking part in any movement spon sored by ministers was voiced by several delegates, who declared that organized labor would always be worsted when they go into conference with employers and preachers. "When one of these birds come round it's a sign that they either want something or think you are dead, was the acrimonious charge of one delegate, who said he wanted the world to know that he is a "ration alist." Another delegate said he was for the proposed conference when he learned that the chamber of commerce is against It. After a number of delegates had finished attacking the chamber of commerce, the ministers and the ;ar public," one gray-haired labor veteran arose and gave them a talk which swayed sentiment strongly In favor of the conference. He called attention to the fact that organized labor at one time held membership in th chamber of commerce and that one of the strong unions in Portland today had its beginning in small church forums a few years ago. The council voted to send a tele graphic plea to President Wilson ask ing for a full pardon for Dr. Marie Equl, convicted of violation of the espionage act. If the pardon Is not granted the president is asked to grant another stay of execution. piiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiM At This Special Sale You Can Buy j Chesterfield Suits and Overcoats for Less Than We Can Buy Them Wholesale We will show you copies of orders placed to verify this statement.

The city's jitney ordinance. attacked in the federal courts, was upheld In all respects in a decision filed in the federal court here yester day by the three United States Judges who heard the case -May 31. The ordinance was held to be con stitutional and action of the jitney drivers is dismissed. . As a result the city may fix schedules, routes, termini and fares for Jitney drivers. Drivers have con tended that the real purpose of the ordinance was to run them from the streets in that the .council would fix routes on which . they could make no money and outline impossible schedules, and limit fares to 10 cents at all hours. The ruling of the three federal judges holds that the city has con trol of its streets, and can legislate with relation to. their use in a rea sonable manner. The ordinance Is held to be reason able and proper. The. decision is signed by Judge .William B. Gilbert, judge of the United States circuit court of appeals: Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer and Federal- Judge Edward E. Cushman. The decision denies petition for an interlocutory injunction, brought by Alvin M. Schoenfeld, a representative jitney bus owner and grants a motion of George A.
