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.

board of control and special investi
gating committee at conclusion of
sessions held yesterday and last night.
"Both the board of control and the
investigating committee," said Secre
tary of State Kozer. "believe that i
solution satisfactory to all Interested
parties can soon be reached. All
peases of the problem were consid'
ered and the case of each inmate was
carefully weighed."
Orders for dismissal of five blind
inmates of the Institution were is
sued last week as result of a lengthy
proDe , oy the investigating: commit
tee. Actions of the five inmates, as
reportea in the Hearing, were re
sponsible for the ouster order of the
committee. Those ordered dismissed
were: Charles L. Bishop, C. S. West,
Sylvester Mayer, Oscar Johnson and
SfOllen Siverson.
Today marks the time' limit of the
Btay at the institution granted them
in the ouster order. 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.

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.

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.
Justice Johnson issued a warrant for
Shirey's arrest.
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.

SOVIET RETREAT ENDED
Lenine Says Russia Will Demand
Full Benefits of Trade.
MOSCOW, March 9. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) "Soviet Kussia's
economic retreat has ended and will
go no further In Its concessions to
capitalism," Nikolai Lenine told the
congress of metal workers In a brief
speech discussing- the Genoa confer
ence and' Russia's internal problems.
simultaneously leonid Krassin,. in
an interview with the newspaper
lsvestia, declared that soviet Russia
would not abandon her control of
foreign trade. -
The soviet premier appeared re
freshed after his sojourn in the coun
try. He said he had been unable to
do'a.11 his necessary work because of
illness, but now he hoped he was euf
f iciently recovered to go to Genoa
"and tell Mr. Lloyd George it Is no
use to threaten Russia with things
like probation.
-He declared Russia has been tried
and tested by more serious things
during the last few years, and' knew
that these were Idle threats not to be
carried out.' He eaid he would be
able to show the premiers at the
Genoa conference, Whose principal
purpose was trade wtih Russia, many
important trade contracts already
signed on Russia's terms.
"Attempts to put us In the position
of a conquered country are nonsense,"
he said. "We, as merchants, know
what we owe you and what you owe
us, and also what should be your law
ful profit."

Right of two American-born Japanese

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.
