JO DAKOTA LEAGUE
Matthew Woll Says Attitude
Is Sympathetic.
STATE. BONDS APPROVED
Federation Said Xot to Have In
dorsed STon-Partisans, But
Would Aid Farmers.
' 'WASHINGTON', March 20. The at
titude of organized labor toward the
financial ventures of North Dakota
uroder the non-partlsa.iv league is de
scribed as one of "friendly consldera
' tion" by Matthew Woll, vice-president
of the national federation of
labor, in aa Interview which will ap
pear In the Journal of the photo-engravers'
union.
Mr. Woll, who, as a member of
the federation's executive council, re
cently heard an appeal from North
Dakota officials for labor's assistance
in floating a state bond issue, as
serts that the council "did not in
dorse the non-partisan league," but
it did ally itself with the farmers of
America against the financiers of
Wall street.
' Banking Interest! Frews.
The banking Interests from the
first, Sir. Woll charges, looked with
disfavor on financial and industrial
proposals of North Dakota under the
non-partisan league.
"When adverse economic and finan
cial conditions developed," he adds,
"the opportunity our bankers and
financiers had hoped for had ar
rived. At first they volunteered to
enter Into an agrement with the lead
ers of the non-partisan league to help
North Dakota out of its financial dif
ficulties, but demanded as a price, in
addition to the profits of exploiting
Its proposed loan, the state's aban
donment of the most important parts
of its industrial programme. Later
they declined to give North. Dakota
any aid.
Purchase of Bonds Advised.
"The story was Impressively relat
ed to the conference of officers of
the national and international trade
unions held in Washington, and sym
pathetic consideration was given the
farmers of North Dakota. The con
ference urged organized wage earn
ers and unions to give friendly con
sideration to the plea for the pur
chase of state bonds which will en
able this state to demonstrate the
eovereignty of the people and to
teach money lenders a lesson.
"This conference did not Indorse
the non-partisan league by any
stretch of imagination. It did ally
itself with the farmers of America
against the financiers of Wall street.
Instead of merely railing at the
money power of our land, it declared
emphatically that what North Da
kota needs Is sympathy, aid and a
square deal."
POLICE WON CLEW
ATTEMPTS BEIXG MADE TO LO
CATE MISSIXG DOCTOR.
Report From Cape Horn, Wash., Is
Being Followed Cp; Family Un
able to Explain Disappearance.
Police detectives yesterday were en
deavoring to follow the clew reported
Saturday night Indicating that Dr.
J. D. Fenton, who disappeared a week
ago yesterday, was seen near Cape
Horn, Wash., last Friday evening.
George Bresiin, a merchant at Cape
Horn, reported that a man answering
the description of Dr. Fenton had
been at Cape Horn Friday inquiring
about a place where he might stay.
Members of the Fenton family had
heard nothing further yesterday re
garding Dr. Fenton's strange and un
explained disappearance, but they
were hopeful that a further investiga
tion of the Cape Horn report would
lead to his location. The fact that
Dr. Fenton had been in poor health
for several months and had contem
plated going away, possibly to some
health resort, has led members of the
family to believe that he may have
gone to the coast where he might lose
himself and his Identity for a time
while attempting to regain his health.
Mr. Bresiin said that the stranger
who appeared there Friday left after
he was unable to get accommodations
at Cape Horn. The police will direct
Inquiries to that section of the coast
In an effort to learn whether or not
he may be near there.
That Dr. Fenton wandered away
during a temporary mental abbera
tion, due to his illness, Is the most
generally accepted theory at police
headquarters.

ralms Decorate Stage of Municipal
Auditorium In Keeping With
Spirit of Season.
When the big curtain was lifted
yesterday afternoon at the opening of
the municipal popular concert, in the
public auditorium, it was noted that
in keeping with the spirit of Palm
Sunday, the Btage was green with
nodding palms and flowers and dec
orations typical of the season. The
scenery was green, and the scene
pictured was a woodland with trees
and ferns. The musical programme
was contributed by the Girls' Poly
technic chorous, Miss Minnetta Mag
ers, conductor, and Miss Margaret
Notz, piano accompanist; Thomas
Ambroslo and Ernest Lavorate, In a
mandolin and guitar duo, and Fred
erick W. Goodrich, organist. The
audience numbered 747 paid admis
ais, and applaue was hearty.
Miss Mtgers deserves credit for the
perseverance and musical skill she
has shown in organizing and drilling
the Girls' Polytechnic school chorus
of 75 voices. Many of these girls had
not sung in chorus until about two
month; ago, and under Miss Mayers'

wise direction they have made quite
satisfactory progress. Yesterday they
were given difficult vocal tests in
public for the first time, and made
good. The chorus sings with delight
ful expression. Instant attention to
calls for expression, and the sopranos
and contraltos sing with good under
standing in voice placing, especially
in the head register. The best-sung
numbers were the unaccompanied
ones: "Lullaby" (Brahms) and "Mill
Below the Willows" (Linders). The
chorus also made good In a number
adapted from the "Miserere" by
Verdi.
The Venetian duo, Ambroslo and
Lavo.ate, captured the audience with
their ay Instrumental numbers. The
two boys play well together and show
a good deal of talent as entertainers.
They had to play extra numbers be

Mr. Goodrich played a number of
enjoyable pipe organ numbers, win
ning spe-ial commendation for his
rendition of tne overture from "Bar
ber of Seville" (Rosini) and a pro
cessional march from the "Columbus"
suite. Mr. Goodrich's solos were all
varied and skilfully chosen.
HOTEL MEN MEET TODAY
ACTTOX OX PHOXE RISE IS TO
BE DISCUSSED.
Proprietors and Managers From
All Over Oregon Plan to Com
bat Heavy Rate Increases.
Hotel proprietors ' and managers
from all over Oregon will meet today
in the Hotel Portland to discuss ways
and means of combating the heavy
increases in telephone rates, author
ized by the public service commission
of the state in a recent order. Many
of them arrived Saturday and yester
day and still others,having booked
rooms, will arrive here this morning.
The situation with the hotelmen is
like that of other lines of business,
owners and managers of Industries
finding on receipt of their bills, based
on the commission's order, that the
increases are beyond all expectations
and are too burdensome to go un
challenged, according to many com
plaints that have been made.
Meanwhile, the order of the Port
land city council, granted upon re
quest of Mayor Baker, asking for a
rehearing, is being executed through
the office of City Attorney Grant.
H. M. Tomlinson, chief deputy, and
other members of the staff have
started the work, but there is much
to do before a formal application for
rehearing may be filed. The rules of
the commission require definite and
specific Instances of errors or new
facts tending to show necessity for
or Justice of a new hearing and it is
to gather this information that the
legal bureau of the city is bending
its efforts.
It is probable that an appeal from
the order of the commission will be
taken into the state circuit court here
soon as a safeguard against lapse of
the city's right so to do, in case it
might wish to later.

"The president's administration," he
