CITY TO APPROVE LEVY GREAT APPLAUSE WON MONSTER FUND V1510NE0 CITY ECONOMICS URGED General Vote to' Deal Exclusively With Constitutional Amend ment ; Municipal With Fund.

VAX HORXE ENTERS RACE WITH ONE OBJECT. 6 It will require the adoption, of two measures at the November elec tion to initiate the 1927 exposition. However, but one of these measures' will be voted on outside of Portland. It is apparent from inquiries being made at exposition headquarters that all points bearing on the ques tions to be submitted, are not clearly understood and the managing com mittee announces that it is making an effort to give the voters a thor ough understanding of what is to be placed before them. The constitutional amendment en- abling Portland to levy a tax to raise 3, 000, 000 with which to finance the .-exposition, the committee explains, ii a statewide measure. No amend ment to the constitution may be made without the approval of the people of the entire state, no matter what its purpose may be. Amendment Is Xecessary, This amendment is necessary be cause of what is known as the 6 per cent tax limit, found in section 11 article XI, of the Oregon constitu tion, which reads: Unless specifically autnorized by t majority of the legal voters voting upon the question, neither the state nor an; municipality, district or body to which the power to levy a tax shall have been delegated shall in any year so exercise that power as to rs-ise a greater amount of revenue for purposes other than the payment of bonded indebtedness or Inter' st thereon than the total amount levied by it in the year immediately preceding for purposes other than the payment of bonded indebtedness or interest thereon, plus o' per centum thereof. In order to raise that $3,000,000, the 6 per cent limit must be ex ceeded. Hence, the necessity of a constitutional amendment. The other measure affects only the people of Portland and will be placed on the city ballot exclusively, It is a charter amendment enabling the city to raise for exposition pur poses $1,000,000 a year for three years. This will be contingent upon tne raising of $1,000,000 by stock subscription, and the tax levy will not be enforced until that $1,000,000 is pledged. Caravan RntHes Increase. Twenty automobiles were entered Tuesday in the 1927 exposition car avan that will leave Friday morn ing for a visit to Willamette valley cities on the west side. The limit will be 40 automobiles, or 200 persons, says William P. Merry, in charge of the caravan. This is necessary for the reason that more cannot be accommodated fit McMinnville, where the excursion ists will spend Friday night. For this reason, those who wish to make the trip are urged to secure their reservations as early as possible. CHURCH UNION PROMISED Two Evangelical Bodies Jjong Separated Coining Together.

Armed Men Surrounded by Crew, but No One Does Anything as Situation Is Ticklish. Two armed men, suspected of being intent upon holding up train 401 on the Northern Pacific, pulled the bell cord and jumped off at Tenino, Wash., in the early morning hours Tuesday when they were surprised by members of the train crew before they got into action. The men, carrying: revolvers, were first seen in a Pullman by the por ter vnd he led them to the front end of the train where Conductor E. E Young, 585 East Eleventh street north; Pullman Conductor McLean and Brakeman ' Rube Morrison pressed closely around them and prevented them from robbing the train. The situation was a delicate one. according to Conductor Young, and the two automatic revolvers the suspects carried restrained any pre cipitate movement on the part of the trainmen. Conductor Young sought to enlist the aid of a group of men in the smoking room, but they promptly declined the nomination, saying they had not lost any train robbers and refused to be heroes. An effort to lock the men in- the vestibule of the car met with no success, due to the watchfulness of the pair, and also an attempt to throw off, a message at Tenino. re porting the situation, was frus trated by the gun wielders. Weakening in their apparent re solve to rob the passengers, the pair hopped off at Tenino, much to the relief of the train crew. Conductor Young told of the near-robbery upon the arrival of his train here at 7:45 yesterday morning. Canning Season Closed. MOUNT ANGEL, Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)

Margaret Matzenauer as she ap peared on the stage of municipal auditorium Tuesday night. There was something exotic about her that struck the audience even be fore the first notes of her rich voice began its burden of song. Her programme was divided into five groups. The opening group was operatic, the card scene irom Bizet's "Carmen" taking first place. The dark . color of this music btought out the intenser values of Mme. Matzenauer's voice. In direct contrast was the following number. The Gavotte from Mignon." The singer gave it all the gay archness it invites. "The Lieti Bignor," irom "Ls Huguenots," the last in the group, drew great applause, and the singer added as an encore. "By the Waters of Minnetonka" (Lieurance). Singing; Is Glorious. The "Sapphic Ode" of Brahms in the second group was impressive and the pianissimos were exquisite in tone. " Tis Spring" of Hugo Wolf was fresh and vital. Probably the high point in the whole group was "In the Silent Night," by Rachman inoff, the great Russian composer, with its provocative modernisms in harmony and melodic line. Mme. Matzenauer sang it gloriously. The Grieg, "Dein Rath 1st voll Gut." was a fine contrast in content and the I whole group was heartily ap-1 Dlauded. The ' encore was Nevin s "Rosarv." sune- as few can sing it Mr. Vause played the third group, a prelude by Schytte. "Lento. -yru Scott, and a polonaise by Mao DowelL French Songs Delight nl. Mme. MatzerTauer's French songs were sung with wonderful light and shade. The unusual range implied in the two closing notes of the first song, 'Plainte d'Ariane" of Coquard, won the house to a tumult of applause. "En Passant par la Lorraine," the familiar old French song with its gay, tripping repetitions, was de lightful. The two . by Fourdrain were characteristic and displayed Mme. Matzenauer's versatility. In answer to the applause Mme. Mat-. zenauer graciously gave two en cores, the first, Abt's "When Roses Blow," a smooth and simple song. and "To a Messenger, La Forge. Del Riego's "Homing," the initial number of the last group, was ex quisitely sung, the high tones being particularly fine. "The Moon at the Full," by Landon Ronald, "Crepus- cuic-Cefiro" and the popular La Paloma," arranged by La Forge, and both of a marked Spanish fla vor, ended the programme. ' Final Encore Is Granted. After appearing again and again in response to applause, Mme. Mat zenauer granted a final encore, the favorite "Samson and Delilah" aria. "My Heart at Thy Voice." She sang it magnificently. It suited admir ably the color of her rich voice. In a brief interview just after the recital Mme. Matzenauer com mented very favorably upon the acoustics of the city auditorium, which she said were fine for sing ing. It also transpired that Mme. Matzenauer "adores" western audi ences. The singer had had a tire some trip, after her recital in Seat tle the night before, and confessed that she was weary. Her voice gave no sign of this, but sounded fresh and , easy throughout the recital. It was interesting to note on her dressing table a large photograph of little Adrienne, her daughter, a pretty little1 girl.

Duryea, secretary of the ex tension work of the state chamber of commerce, was the chief speaker. J. C. Irvine, president of the com mercial club, presided, and intro duced the speakers. Colonel A. A. White, the chief promoter of the proposed railroad frm Lebanon to the timberlands in thd Cascades, near Cascadia, was present.

WOOLEN MILLS TO START Renewal of Operations at Browns ville, Or., Announced. Renewal of operations by the Brownsville Woolen Mills at Browns ville. Or., will be started soon, ac cording to J. L. Bowman, president cf the company, who returned Hundreds of Thousands of Some thing Being Raised to Defeat Democratic Candidate. - Hundreds of thousands are being raised in this city to keep Walter M. Pierce out of the governor's chair at Salem, the democratic candidate told members of the Jackson club at a meeting in the Central library Tuesday night. Mr. Pierce didn't say Just what was being raised' it might have been roubles or narks that he meant, but it is fair to pre sume he intended nis audience to vision dollars. Mr. Pierce wears suspenders: he is opposed to further bond issues or Cirect taxes and he considers the compulsory school bill the great and overpowering question in the com ing election. He said he was proud of the fact that he favored the bill. In announcing that he wore sus penders he was endeavoring to show that he is not too radical or too con servative, but just a middie-of-the-roader The pair of suspenders was the principal feature of a story he told to illustrate his attitude. The gubernatorial candidate de clared that taxes must 'be cut down and he said there were seven auto mobiles in use at the state peniten tiary. He expressed tne Deiier that the state might get along without one of these and thus lighten the burden of the people. This was the only specific tax reduction, however, that he suggested. "I have traveled 1500 miles about the state last week," he said. "I ad dressed eight audiences and faced 5000 people. I believe 80 per cent of these will vote for me." "Civilization is a tender plant and we must not destroy it. We've got to make changes siowly. When I am elected I will send a message to the legislature telling how to cut down taxes. A good honest income tax will help. And we can put a severance tax on timber land when th timber is cut off." JUM WILL BE PICTURED FILMS TO ASSIST IX DRIVE FOR 2VEW BRIDGE. Crowded Traffic Conditions Hawthorne-Avenue Span to Be Effectively Portrayed.

One of the joint discussions, aris ing additionally at last night's meet ing, was that concerning tne pro posed federation of community clubs of Portland, to be formed for the sake of better co-operation in mat ters of general civic interest. J. C. Henderson, executive secretary of the Community club, pointed out the advantages the downtown luncheon clubs derive from co-operative meet ings of the several presidents, and advocated similar action by federa tion of the community organiaztions. In an extensive review of the bridge situation Commissioner Bar- bur, under wnose sponsorsnip the moving pictures of the jam. of street cars, automobiles and pedestrians a1 the west-side approach to the Haw thorne bridge were taken, revealed the" fact that 61,000 vehicles now cross the river daily.
