4 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, 3IARCII 1 0, 1923 BOOTBLACKS jfJ ROW OVER10-CENT SHINE NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS A FT na Union Votes, 37 to 2, to Main 1 tain Present Price. STANDS TO BE EXPELLED Polishers of Pedal Hear Have Cut Their Charge Longer In Good Standing." Who Hio In a redhot indignation meeting that was replete with real forensic debate, the bootblacks' union ot Portland last night voted, 37 to 2. for a. continuation ot the 15-cent shine an-d agreed to let those who have bolted the union rules and put their urice down to 10 cents run them elves iito bankruptcy, which the union predicted would come speedily enough. The meeting ended the second day ot the fight for a 10-cent shine, and during its course there were times when the union of bootblacks seemed Split by a. break beyond repair. Starting on Wednesday, when a Croup of shops- entered a rate war in the vicinity of Washington and "Fourth streets, the battle has waged ver since, and bids fair to continue until wages and the landlord both ccmo down, when, declare union offi rials, the price of chines will come jown. Stand to Be Expelled. The group of stands where shoes ire shined for 10 cents will be ex pelled from tho union immediately m.t& those on the other side will fight t the end, for thei proprietors say that with rents ranging from ?150 to $350 a month, and with wages for a. iz-hour day standing around 1Z5 month, they cannot possibly reduce tie price to 10 cents" and make money. At the meeting were 35 Greeks, two negro boys, one crippled Amer ican and ; one Spaniard. The Italian and the Jewish factions were not represented. John Prigastis, ex president of the union, ex-bootblack end now a business man of the city, dominated the assembly. 'He declared that several stands in the city have to shine 75 pairs of shoes a day be fore they make their rent, as many more pairs before the wages are made, and whatever was left over was profit. Shops paying as high as $250 rent, he said, cannot possibly reduce their prices and continue in business. ; "The 10-f jnt stands," he continued, '"will not take our patronage away Srom us because our customers in Bist on good shines and will under stand that we cannot pay good help on the smaller price. . Shoe shining Is a trade with Various degrees of ability and persons who wear good Shoes will still want them well taken care of. The shops which have bolted Jiave not the same kind of patronage ne others nave. Arguments Are Spirited. Dick Jackson, negro, said that all fcarber shop and hotel stands would continue the 15-cent price, and that a. canvass of such stands yesterday had found several that would go out of business If the 10-cent price held. Part of the 10-cent faction was present at the meeting and launched into spirited arguments in its early stages. They were finally swung over to the 15-cent faction by the efforts of Andrew Pappas, president; A. Kliopoulos, secretary; and Prigas tis, so that when the vote was taken only two stayed out of the combine. The war seemed over for about an hour yesterday when union offi cials succeeded in getting all of the shops that had bolted to take down their 10-cent signs. One shop, how ever, put the sign back when busi ness lagged and then the others fol lowed suit. - -Heiliff ; BY LEONE CASS BAER. FTER all, there's nothing in a tame. Those of us who went to see "Wait 'Till We're Married," expecting to see a play that fitted the title, were well, we didn't see it. The bedroom farce and the similars have so long persisted and come to us under such frank and even sug gestive titles that a home-grown reviewer of plays nas been almost obliged to take a course in house furnishings in order to compare one with the other. The beds, the bed clothes, the inevitable wicker hamper at the foot of the bed or beds, into which the hero or heroine may leap when discovery threatens, the pa jamas and the negligees that go with them are a life study in themselves. In the instance of "Wait 'Till We're Married," despite its title, there is none of the aforementioned, and the play turns out to be another "Re juvenation of Aunt Alary" sort with this difference that the Aunt Mary is a goody-good young man and he entirely reforms. The piece is just obvious enough to touch a popular level and interesting enough to satisfy a liking for sophis ticated smartness. The first-nighters who made up last night's audience experienced the sensation of seeing a young actor, Terry - Duffy, whose name and achievements could hardly be re called by even those who occasionally get east, completely dominate plot, dialogue and most of the players. The role Terry Duffy plays is that of the exceedingly good and gently reared hero, Timothy. His two maiden aunts had superintended his training and Tim is a shy. nervous and acutely moral nerson. Bv one of those accl dents known only to playwrights. Tim becomes enamored of a very worldly and ultra-smart young girl who saved his life one Tuesday by dragging him out of the millrace when he. was about to drown. The play, in four acts, concerns the love story of these two, with the girl a heroic figure constantly bearing up under some new discovery she has unearthed about her goody-good hero. Finally, in exasperation when he refuses a wedding present of half million dollars because he says the money is tainted by having been earned in politics, the fiancee runs away. Later she runs back, but the hero has run in the other direction. and when he returns he has become so sophisticated that he sets the vil lage agog. . It all ends nicely. plays should, and leaves a comfort able feeling. Terry Duffy handles the role of the overnice young hero so adro'tly and with such infectious humor that the role was constantly amusing. He reminds one of Harold Vermilye, who came out here in A Tailor-Made Man," and hs soft Irish brogue ug gests that he might bo a successor to those two other actors of roman tic Irish comedies, Chauncey Olcott and Fiske O'Hara. There must al ways be a new crop and young Duffy is versatile; picturesque and artistic ally resourceful, carrying: the bit of a brogue through the part and n.to a delightful little curtain , speech he made. "If ye like the pla," he said, stop at your neighbor's and knock on thel door and tell 'em ye liked It. But if ye do not like the play, well don't knock," he added, , The supporting cast . handles its roles dexterously, with especial men t'on to be made of Fanny Yantis as the giggling, nervous old aunt and Marie Van Tassell as her prim and correct sister. This twain is a com edy delight. In one scene when they drink cocktails and' become pleasant- ! jy iigntea up their antics sent the audience into shrieks. A pretty and talented young maid. Barbara Brown, is a charming hero ine to play opposite the timid Tim. and a half dozen others add interest- ng rolea. The play will be here the remainder of the week, with a mat inee on Saturday. The cast: PROPOSAL UPSET BY LIIOLil FACULTY i ... Hippodrome A SPECTACULAR and entertaining act i that of Bernice La Barr and her Beaux, which- holds top line interest on the new bill at the Hippo drome. The billing is attractive and the alliterative title compels atten tion. Bernice is youthful and pivots In the center of a quintet of synco paters. Miss La Barr is vocally a delight and her costumes are clever in design and color treatment. The act is in the nature of a miniature revue of farcical qualities and Is highly amusing.

It was reported yesterday that Bishop plans to leave the instituticn voluntarily, going to California to live. Three reputed saloons were raided by police with search warrants last night, the raiders obtaining evidence believed sufficient to make a case in each instance. Henry Johnson and Olaf Sundeen, 184 Burnside street, were charged with maintaining a nuisance and with having liquor in their posses sion after th-e morals squad had found a water glass two-thirds full of moonshine behind the bar and half a pint in a back room. Bail was set at $250, which, both men imme diately furnished. Clyde Caves, 388 First street, was charged with violation of the prohi bition law after the officers found 30 pints of moonshine in the build ing, part of which was buried in the basement. r A small quantity of the same liquor was found at 229 Burnside and Mike Willis was booked for court. He was said to be a drink retailer. M. Shirehama and M. Umemoto, Japanese, were followed in their au tomobile to Third and Burnside streets by Deputy Sheriff Daniels, who asked them what they were doing. In answer Shirehama dashed a jug of sakt to the pavement. They were charged with throwing glass in the street and were released upon pay ment of $50 bail each. DR. MORRISON IS ROUSED Attempt to Place Blame for Bishop Sumner Fight Answered. Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, was In censed yesterday over an attempt to place blame for the recent showing f opposition t Bishop Walter T. Sumner, upon him and his friends, in a published interview attributed to Judge W. T. Slater. Judge Slater and other friends of the bishop ex pressed the opinion that opposition to Bishop Sumner was largely in'the nature of intimidation to force him to drop the suit against Dr. Morrison which has been appealed to the supreme court, following an adverse decision in the lower court. "Please say for me," said Dr. Morrison, "that statements such as that attributed to Judge Slater are unqualifiedly false." In the legal action in question it was charged that Dr. Morrison profited unduly at the expense of the trustees of Bishop Scott academy in selling them as a school site part of a, farm he had purchased.

Latourelle and his wife were regis tered as "Mr. and Mrs. Lovejoy," BY JOSEPH -MACQUEEN. - LIFE ought to be, happy, with all ambitions satisfied, in the case of Alberto Salvi, who is billed as one of the greatest concert harpists in the world today. He owns a golden looking harp that is valued at $10,000. ix months ago he was married and admits that he still is in the blessed honeymoon stage of his existence, and wherever he has appeared in concert this tour he has been a success. But, he has one burning' ambition from which there is no rest: he wishes to be conductor of a large symphony or chestra of about 100 men. Salvi is to appear in concert in the public audi torium tonight. . . "I see myself, some- day soon, let us hope, standing as conductor in front of a . trained symphony orchestra. probably in one of the larger cities of Germany, maybe Berlin," said Salvi last night, as he smoked peacefully a large cigarette, 'n .the lobby of the. Benson hotel. "My ' specialty is in strumentation; and although I am an Italian, Wagner ur one of my fa vorite composers. I'd love to conduct a Wagner opera with a big orchestra and operatic company. Wagner has counterpoint and lots -ot instrumenta tion in his scores, and what he has left in music makes me thrill all over. If you want proper musical ef fects, go to Wagner." Salvi was born in Venice, Italy, about 25 years ago. His father, Ru dolfo Salvi, was a dealer In musical instruments, and one day when his young son, Alberto, then 7 years old, fell in love with a harp that was part of the family stock, and announced that he had chosen the harp as his musical instrument for life, the father agreed, and gave Alberto his first lessons on the harp. -Alberto, as he grew older, became a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Music, Naples, Italy, and afterward was graduated in harp and composi tion, with the class of 1913. He appeared with success in con cert tours in Italy and France, and in 1917 came to this country, where he has remained until now. Six months ago Salvi married an Italian girl at Vicksburg, Miss. The harp on which Salvi plays was made in Chicago, and he says, is the iaenticai instrument which won the grold medal at the San Francisco ex position in 1915. Salvi thinks that the greatest or chestral conductor he ever saw in action was the late Arthur Nikisch, the Bohemian, when Nikisch conduct ed a performance by the London sym phony orchestra at Naples. Salvi also is of the'opinion that a real educated conductor with a message is all in all in orchestral interpretation. LEGION FUNDS MISSING Ex-State Commander for Texas Is Sought on Warrant, AUSTIN, Tex., March fl. Dr. Guy O. Shirey of Fort Worth, formerly 'state commander of the American Legion In Texas, was named in a complaint charging embezzlement of funds, filed in Justice Johnson's court here today.

It was said that the complaint grew out of alleged shortage of American Legion trust funds in connection with the tubercular hospital at Kerrville last year. Major Wayne D. - Davis, present state commander, said sums totaling approximately $20,000 had never been accounted for. Dr. Shirey's associates said he was In California with his family. Shirey was chief of staff under General Bul lard when the war ended. Plans for the organization of Parent-Teacher association at Lin coin high school were blocked, tem porarily at least, last night when Lincoln high school teachers, through a committee, declined to Join tne pro posed Parent-Teacher body, but ex pressed willingness to co-operate with any other parents' organization that might be formed for the school. The firm opposition of the Lincoln high faculty brought the organiza tion meeting of parents and teachers at central library to a deadlock and forced supporters of the Parent- Teacher movement to nostpone for mation of a Lincoln high school branch. By unanimous vote, how ever, it was decided to appoint three parents and three teachers to discuss the matter ' of forming a Parent- Teacher association. Teachers' Decision Surprise. The teachers' decision came a,B somewhat of a surprise. The first hour of the meeting had been devoted principally to speeches indorsing en thusiastically the work and value of Parent-Teacher organizations. Among the speakers who praised these asso ciations were Frank L. Shull, W. F. Woodward and George P. Eisman, school directors, and Mrs. J. W. Hawkins, prominent Parent-Teacher worker. T. T. Davis, principal of Lincoln high school, then stated that mem bers of his faculty had held a meet ing a few days ago to discuss- the proposed organization, and had ap pointed a committee to present the teachers' views on the matter. Miss Leida H. Mills, a member of this com mittee, then addressed the meeting. -. "Lincoln nigh school teachers will be giadi to co-operate fully with any association of parents, but not with the Parent-Teachers' branch affili ated with state and national associa tions," said Miss Mills. "We will affiliate with any other ftrm of parents' organization, such as a parents' association or a moth ers and fathers' league." Teachers' Inclusion Advocated. Mrs. C. B. Simmons advocated in clusion of teachers in any organiza tion that might be formed at the I meeting, and later moved that a Par ent-Teachers" association be formed. "Don't take any action like that without the acceptance1 of the teach ers," urged- Mrs. J. W. Hawkins, after further discussion had revealed the firm opposition of the teachers. Principal Davis suggested post ponement of tne plans to form an association, and Mrs. Simmons with drew her motion, after declaring that she had intended to do nothing that would not meet with tho teachers' approval. We want to meet parents of our students, but feel that we- wouldn't care to Co bound down by th rules and 'regulations of a national associ ation through an orthodox Parent Teachers' association," declared Nor man C. Thorne, member of the Lin-coin- high faculty. H. M. Tomlinson, deputy city attor ney, suggested the appointment of thre parents by Mrs. George J. Per kins, Parent-Teacher leader, and three teachers by Principal Davis, to Gonfer on the question of forming a x-are-nt-xeacners' branch. This action was adopted. The committee will be named soon.

Right of two American-born Japanese children in possession of land pur chased for them by their father, a native of Japan, was upheld today in a decision said to be the first of its kind in California. It was ren dered by Superior Judge McDaniel in the case of the state of California against Jusuke Shingu and his two minor children, Sumiye Shingu and Kiyoko Shingu. The land In ques tion was purchased for $3600 from G. L. arid Mary Douglas, In Sutter county in April, 1919. Attorney-General Webb sought to have the property escheat to the state, on a claim of fraud and viola tion of the California anti-alien land law in tha purchase of the land. Judge McDaniel, who declared that he favored the anti-alien land law and had always held It was consti tutional, said that under the consti tution any American-born person has the right to possession In the United States of property in his own right. In regard to the purchase of the land by the father, Judge Mc Daniel said that proof of fraud was not conclusive, that Jusuke Shingu dd not try to take possession, "but the law does not say he cannot ad vance the purchase price for the benefit of his children, who, as American citizens, are not under the disabilities which stand In his way." Attorney-General Webb stated that should the court hold the transaction to be within the law, that it would require no proof to conceive rapidly expanding Japanese ownership of land, with 100,000 Japanese in Call fornia and their children rapidly increasing. suited In the shooting and killing of two San Francisco police detectives and James A.
