CATHOLIC PROTESTS READ
Recommendation for Purchase of
Glencoo Playground Tract
Adopted by ' Meeting.
So far as the gehool board is con
cerned and It is really the court
of last resort Sister Lucretia, the
ex-nun who has attacked St. Vin
cent's hospital In public addresses,
may resume her discourses In any
school structure after complying
with the requirements specified for
public entertainments thereili, which
concern rental and janitorial fees.
This attitude of the school board,
or a majority of its members, was
clearly evidenced Thursday whne
the directorate listened to the read
ing of three or four letters of pro
test against such practices. The
correspondents drew the attention
of the board to the fact that Sister
Lucretia had bitterly and outrage
ously aspersed the Catholic charac
ter, and respectfully petitioned the
board to have in mind its duty
toward the interdenominational pub
lic which supports and patronizes
the Portland schools. Among the
letters were protests signed by Mrs.
Edith Knight Hill, John J. Lane,
president of the Catholic Civic
Rights association, and Mary ilur-,
phy. Director Thomas defended the
policy of the board.
I,ecturea Are Criticised,
"These people," he-said, with a
wave of a fat cigar, "won't play
fair Thfy wunt to muzzle those
who Are against them. I'm for let
ting them have the schools when
they want 'em, and the Protestants
when they want era."
Clerk Fulton, having completed
the reading of the communications
which prompted this vociferation,
turned to the missive of Mary Mur
phy, who said, in part; "Catholics
pay taxes and a goodly number of
their children attend these public
schools. I maintain these lectures
are not educational in any way, and
our schools should be put to a better
purpose than to open them to people
of this sort, who villify and con
demn many of our finest and best
citizens."
, Director Thomas grinned. "And
the same goes for Mary Murphy,"
said he. referring to his previous
declaration. .
Director Shull Kiujsetti.
The chairman, Director Shull, was
fidgeting. He said that he had not
voted for the resolution which
opened the schools to Sister Lucretia
- as a lecture platform, and that for
his negative attitude in the matter
he had scant regret, inasmuch as he
had since perused one of the ex
nun's addresses.
"I have seen," said Chairman
Shull, "what purported to be a sten
ographic copy of one of her talks. I
will say that It is the most filthy
.and disgusting address that I have
ever read or heard."
Complete silence ensued, until the
board, with evident relief, filed the
letters and turned to other business.
Throughout the discussion there had
been no interruption or expression
from the sparse audience.
The board adopted a reobmmenda
tiorf of the special committee which
advised consideration of the pur
chase of the Birchler plot, to afford
playground facilities for Glencoe
school. This action wa3 understood
to be merely an authority for nego
tiation. The price asked for the
plot is $8500.
Another prospective deal in dis
trict real estate came to -an em
phatic focus when Director Eisman
moved that the district submit a
certified check for $10(J0 in part pay
ment for the area in the Goldsmith
addition desired for grounds for
the projected Chapman school, to
be purchased at the board's tender
of $60,000. The proposal carried the
provision that unless the offer is
accepted within ten days condemna
tion proceedings shall be instituted.
The property was first off ered at
$71,000 and is now held at $67,000.

THE song recital of Harriet Leach,

greeted by a large audience of her
admirers, who supported her with
' their interest and showered her with
lovely blossoms which overflowed
the stage. The evening was a real
f.-lumph for Miss Leach, who was In
f'ne voice and sang with the full
consciousness that her bearers were
as happy over her concert as she '
herself seemed to be.
On the stage where one beheld her
Nirough partially dimmed lights, tl.e
singer was lovely, a slim, girlish
fi!,e iClahJ"hCLalith "ffm" I
Her voice was clear and like a bell
and the numbers most liked were
accompanied by the flute, played by
Icilio Miocoli.
The concert opened wfth Bem
bsrs's "Love Me Well." followed by
"A Summer Song" (D'Hardelot), "The t
Hose Cup", (Ward-Stephens) and I
esc l, nistoire Amoureuse ' rrom
the opera "Manon Lescaut" (Auber).
The last was a gem, bright and
sparkling, with lovely tone quality
and & dramatic air. The singer's
pcise was perfect and her manner
gracious.
The melodious "II Bacio"' intro
duced the second group and was fol
lowed by "To Be , Sung on the
Waters" (Schubert) and "The Wren"
.RfirtftdlnM with fluta nhliirnfn
Leach's cadenzas were clear and
bird-like, rivaling the flute in their
true sweetness. ' . ".
"The Cross" (Ware), dusky and
thoughtful, opened the second group.
supplying a contrast for the balance ;
cf the programme and revealing
deep coloratura tones, i Following
were "Niemand Hats Gesehn"
(Loewe), "Pale Moon" (Lofean) and
"Summertime" (Ward-Stephens).
Quite the loveliest number of the
entire programme concluded the
singer's last group. This was "By the
Waters of Minnetonka" (Lieurance),
often sung but seldom sung so beau
tifully, .and the beauty . of Miss
Leach's . voice was enhanced by
tre flute obligato. The storm of ap
plause did pot quiet until the num
ber was repeated and armsful of
gorgeous flowers rewarded her. The
final number, ''Je Suis. Titania"
(Thomas) from the opera "Mig
non," was large and dramatic.
Miss Leach received splendid sup
port from her accompanist. May Van
Dyke Hardwiek, and from Mr. Mic
coli. Two flute solos were given, by
Mr. Micuoii, "Airs de Ballet d'As
canio" (Saint Satins) and, "Allegret

core with "Scherzino" (Anderson).

STKAW BALLOT -OF ' CREDIT
3IEX IS 97 TO 26.
Politics Mixed With Business at
Session Representative Mc
Arthur Hakes Address.
. Portland's credit men. in an offi
cial meeting of their organization,
the Portland Association of Credit
Men, held Thursday at the Benson
hotel, went on record as favoring
ths 1927 exposition. A straw vote on
the question resulted -In 97 of the
members declaring their support of
the coming exposition while 26 op
posed it.
Politics was mixed with Dusiness
and after several prominent mem
bers of the association. B. K. Knapp,
G R. Grayson, ,E. C. Libby and
Charles M. Morgan, had spoken on
credit questions C. N. McArthur,
Oregon representative who is seek
ing re-election, was given the floor.
Mr. McArthur discussed govern-Kit-nt.
finances in detail and ex
plained the operation of the budget
law. He told what congress has die
in the last- two years in the way of
passing tax measures, good roads
legislation, arm; and navy bills, and
made a plea for better co-operation
between the national lawmaking
bodies and the business men of the
ccuntry.
"The tendency on the part of dem
agogues," said the speaker, "to
hamstring legitimate business' is
most deplorable. The successful op
eration of legitimate business is the
keynote to prosperity in this day
of unrest and readjustment. The
stabilizing and fostering of ITuslness
results not only in benefit to the
men who risk their money in va
rious enterprises, but also to the
worker, the farmer and the pro
ducer. ',
"Intelligent members of congress
are always glad to listen to prac
tical recommendations as to new
legislation, whether these come from
business interests, farmers or la
borers. "The, term of a' representative .
should be lengthened, though I
will not say how much. The present
condition produce's too muoh poli
tics and not enough serious atten
tion to the welfare of the country.
A long term would enable ths. In
cumbent to get his bearings, vir
upon a programme and carry it to a
definite conclusion without1 - the
periodic necessity of looking to his
political fences." '
About 200 members of the organi
zation attended the meeting, which
was the regular monthly dinner of
the association.

Piano Recital.
Brahms Rhapsody Played Richly
and Forcefully. - -
fTIHE piano recital qf David Camp
X bell Thursday at the auditorium
of the Woman's building was an ex
position of crisp, virile technic. The
Brahms rhapsody -was played richly
and forcefully. The Beethoven son
ata, . written i In : Beethoven's early
manner, brought rounds of aplause.
LThe toccata, Op. 7, written by SChU-

full of the live ajuality of youth and
sheer delight of motion. Mr. Camp
bell put Into it a joyous outdoor
mood. The two Chopin numbers, an
etude, and a ballad, were vigorously
and brilliantly played. This group
was warmly applauded, and Mr.
Campbell played "The Butterfly"
etude of Chopin as an encore. Re
called again and again, he repeated
the encore.
The next group, Ganz and Ma';-
Dowell, was brilliantly modernistic,
"The Heldengrab," somber as befits
the subject, has the usual self-conscious
mood noticeable in all the
music of the world war. . It was
heroic in manner, and full of the

The "Improvisation" and "March

Dowell mood, and beautifully played.
A veritable storm of applause fol
lowed. But . the demands upon the
soloist had been tremendous,, and
he wisely refused the encore. ' '
The concluding number, a concert
paraphrase on the main airs of Bu
gen Onegin, is a stupendous yrbrk
for the urintc of any pianist, be he
Padsrewski, David Campbell, or any
one else. It sounded the depths and
heights of planistic difficulties from
beginning to end. Like, most tran
scriptions, it consisted of floridities.
One might guess the transcriptor's
favorite composer to be Liszt, for, it
drew much from Liszt's mc-des. It
had some commonplace moments,
however. : when one-wondered why
Tsqhaikowsky wrote such ordinary
tunes perhaps he was relieved to
ret them out of his system! But
the technical demands upon the solo
ist never ceased, either In this or-In
the encore, another transcription,
"Der Liebstod," Wagner-Liszt. In
addition to the "amazing technical
Intricacies, these two compositions
seemed to exhaust the tonal re
sources of the instrument. Mr.
Campbell played them, as all the
rest of the programme, with ease
and fluency.
