RESIGNATION STUB
HeMth Officers Say Disease 'Should
Not Be Difficult to Treat When
Caught In Time Kier Urged
to Try Pasteur Cure.
An autopsy, in which State Health
Officer White assisted, yesterday gave
confirmation that the death of Frank
Griffith was due to hydrophobia. While
the autopsy was under way prepara
tions were made by Mayor Albee for
the passage of an ordinance requiring:
the muzzling: of all dogs in the city
between July 1 and September 15, of
each year. This ordinance will bear
an emergency clause and will be
brought before the Commission Wed
nesday. Within the past year more than 100
dogs which have been under observa
tion of health officers have died of
hydrophobia and 24 persons have been
treated after they were bitten by rabid
dogs. Mr. Griffith is the first person
In the city who failed to receive treat
ment fn time to avert the disease.
Doctors Warn Kler.
Charles B. Kler, who was also bitten
by Mr. Griffith's dog, has been warned
by the physicians who. attended Mr.
Griffith to take the Pasteur treatment
at once. Dr. E. H. Thornton received
a. slight bite from the same animal and
will take the Pasteur treatment.
The report of the Oregon State Board
of Health for the first three months of
the current year, devotes considerable
Bpace to hydrophobia. Dr. White, of
the State Board, and Dr. L. J. Wolf, of
the City Health Board, yesterday said
that theoretically rabies should be the
most easily controlled of all contagious
diseases, but practically it is the most
difficult.
"The difficulty lies In the lack of
uniformity of rules and regulations,
the fear of political influences; the
idiotic sentimentality of so-called
'animal lovers,' the ridicule of the
public press and, far too frequently,
the antagonism of the physician who
has never seen a case of the disease
and therefore denies its existence'
says the report of the State Board.
Affected Dogm Wander.
'It Is recommended that 'care to muz
ble dogs should be exercised not only
in Portland, but through the country
districts, since one of the first
symptoms Is the tendency of the dog
affected with rabies, to wander away
from home. Ninety-five per cent of the
cases of rabies are Bald to have re
sulted from dog bites. The cat comes
next with a record of having caused
3 per cent of the cases by Its bites or
scratches.
Arrangements for the funeral of Mr.
Griffith will not bo completed until
next Tuesday, when his brother. Grant
Griffith, Is expected to arrive from
Lancaster, O. Mr. Griffith had no
relatives living In Portland.
NEW CARL1NE0PEN TODAY
Service to "Westover Terrace Trav
erses Scenic Route.
Another scenic streetcar line will be
added to the Portland Jlt this morn
ing by the operation of a new carllne
from Twenty-fifth and Pettygrove
streets to Westover Terrace. This tract
Is located upon the hills to the north
of King's Heights, and presents to the
eye one of the most wonderful views
obtainable of the city. The cars will
begin operating at 5:30 this morning,
and will cover the entire distance of
4254 feet In seven minutes, it taking 14
minutes to make the round trip.
Beginning at Twenty-fifth and Petty
grove the track turns upon Cornell
road and continues on this winding
thoroughfare until it reaches Westover
road. Here the car wends its way to
Cumberland road, which follows the
contour of the hillside until Shenandoah
Terrace is reached, and the car runs
to the end of the line upon this street.
Views are obtainable of the section
of the city and country down the Wil
lamette River, and the mouth of the
Columbia Is observable on clear days.
To the north can be observed a pano
rama which is exceedingly attractive,
and to the south and east a greater
portion of the city is presented.
"Westover Terrace was leveled by
means of a .hydraulic system estab
lished by use of the waters of Guild's
Lake. The plans of the terrace were I
made by the famous Olmstead firm of
landscape architects from Boston, and
have many attractive features. Con
nection is made with the Willamette
Heights cars.
'DOPES' MAY GO TO ASYLUM
Judge Stevenson Would Test 'Sanity
of Drag Fiends and Drunks.
First application of the theory of
Municipal Judge Stevenson that certain
forms of delinquencies are fitter sub
jects for the alienist than the jailer,
was made yesterday when he caused
three young drug victims to be "turned
over to the County Court to be exam
ined for insanity. The boys, part of
the number caught in a recent cam
paign against vendors of cocaine, are
George Miller, William Rose and John
Holt.
Judge Stevenson, believes confirmed
users of liquor and drugs are not bene
fited by rockpile sentences, and that It
Is a cowardly evasion of a civic duty
to lock them up merely to have them
out of the way. If the examining phy
sicians will agree with the view that
these men are truly insane, a number
of old "landmarks" may find In the in
sane asylum a better home than they
have known for many years.
Auditorium May Be Delayed.
" That the prospects are poor for Port
land's getting an auditorium in the
near future is the statement of Com
missioner Brewster. The plans pre
pared by the New York architects call
for a structure to be erected on land
covering a block and a half, while the
city owns but one block. Funds for
purchase of half of another are not
available.
IV. W. Scott Is Divorced.
After two weeks of married life
W. W. Scott was allowed a decree of
divorce from Louise Scott by Circuit
Judge Kavanaugh yesterday. Scott's
complaint "against his wife was that
she started "sousing" right away after
the marriage, and has been intoxicated
almost continuously since. Ho said
that she took great delight In calling
him unprintable names.

UERMAA' S. HELLER, VIOLINIST AM) DIRECTOR.
BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIJT.
IN many respects Herman S. Heller,
now fulfilling a professional engage
ment as violinist and orchestral con
ductor In this city, resembles Napoleon
the Great. Napoleon had an enthusi
astic belief In his lucky star that, he
was born to succeed, that he had a
magnetic personality, that there Is
much in a name, and that there Isn't
any such word as "fail." The Napoleon
of Jena, and Austerlltz won on that
policy as conqueror.
"I have a fixed belief in my lucky
star," said Mr. Heller, last night. "I
was born to do big things In music
1 say this without vain glory, or with
out a wish to blow my own horn."
"In other words, you are a Napoleon
of orchestral music?" was queried.
"Life Is a Battle." He Saya.
"Life is a battle. My life is music.
I do not say that I am Napoleon, and
don't wish to conquer the world, as he
did, but have as much right to believe
In my lucky star as he did. I drink
my inspiration from Napoleon, my be
lief that I shall yet win the front rank
In orchestral work. My specialty is
symphony. I believe that if I could
be allowed, once, to lead the Portland
Symphony Orchestra, such would be
the effect I would .produce as leader
and the kind of muaio played, that I
would be the only conductor afterward
at all the other concerts. The men
themselves would ask me to be their
leader. All I ask Is a chance."
"But you are a stranger in thl3 city,"
was pointed out. "What about the rule
of the Portland Symphony Orchestra,
where all the conductors are elected
by vote from the membership and on
a democratic basis, that no person is
eligible for election as conductor un
less that person shall have played iwlth
the orchestra for one year prior to such
election?"
"Oh, that wouldn't affect me," said
Mr. Heller, with an easy air. "Once
they heard me play, gave me permis
sion to be their conductor only once
the rest would be easy to me. It is
a matter of personality. Interpretation
and phrasing. Suppose I utter the sen
tence three times: 'It is going to be a
fine day today.' I can say it In three
different ways, by changes In inflec
tion, In expression, in meaning. So it
is with music I can beautify every
phrase by my Interpretation." .
"What musical experience have you
had?"
Engineering Once Studied.
"I graduated in harmony, counter
point, violin-playing, etc., from the
Royal Conservatory of Music, Prague-
Bohemia," replied Mr. Heller. "I also
studied mechanical engineering, but
determined to devote my life to music
When I was 17 years old, I wished to
be free, to try life in free America, and
I landed in New York City. I had no
difficulty in securing engagements as
first violin. In orchestras, and I played
violin solos with Creatore's band at
Atlantic City, N. J. I was also first
violinist with the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra, Fritz Scheel, conduc
tor ah, -that was an orchestra! For
the past four years I have been orches
tral leader at the St. Francis Hotel
San Francisco. What I did in sym
phony work in San Francisco I hope
to duplicate in Portland. I am also a
composer. " I wrote the music . for

Residents of all sections of the city are enjoying during t the present Summer evenings unusually good band concerts by the Portland Park
Band, an organization of musicians engaged by the city for park concert s. The conductor of the band Is W. E. McElroy, and at the various con
certs special vocalists are engaged to sing.: The band will play each evening during the rest of the Summer at one of the parks In the city.
This afternoon a special concert will be given at Washington Park, beginning at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Jennie Clow, soprano, will be the soloist of

with success at San Francisco. I wrote
the music for the jinks of the San

"What do you think of Kubelik as a
violinist?"
"To me, he is cold," said Mr. Heller.
I admire Krelsler and Ysaye, instead.
I stand for good music The people of
Portland want It, and I am going to
give it to them. Watch me!"

Skating Rinkr May Give Bond.
Commissioner Bigelow last week
made a visit incognito to the skating
rink at Lents, over which there has
been much controversy, and yesterday,
at a hearing of both sides of the ques
tion, he suggested as a. compromise
that the rink people put up a bond to
close nightly at 10 o'clock and to have
the place closed all day Sunday. The
rink folks agreed, but the other faction
asked for time until Tuesday to make
reply.

the abandoning of a grand jury in

City Civil " Service Commissioner, the
attitude of the District Attorney's
office when questioned as to the re
port, leaves an air of "mystery. Deputy
Maguire refused to discuss the report,
except to say that he would take no
action to influence the decision of the
jury one way or the other.
A form of indictment will be drawn
up Monday and submitted to the jury
to vote a trse or not true bill. The
charge under wMch the indictment will
be drawn has not been definitely de
termined. It may be either malfeasance
In office, acceptance of a bribe or
vlplatlon of the corrupt practices act.
Jury- TakH Day Off.
No evidence upon the municipal
scandal was heard by the grand jury
yesterday, but It will meet Monday
with a broadened field, probably to
take up a probe of the reports that
residents of Chinatown have been
paying for Immunity from prosecution.
Among those likely to be called as
witnesses are Captains Slover. Keller
and Riley, beside a number of police
officers familiar with conditions in
Chinatown.
While a natural inference of corrup
tlon is to be drawn from the fact that
20 or more games in Chinatown went
unmolested for more than six months,
the trail of the "sack" is difficult to
pick up.
Word has been received from Ser
geant Klenlen, formerly in charge of
Chinatown, that he expects to return to
duty when his six months leave of
absence expires next month. It Is be
lleved that his observations in China
town were such that he can throw some
light on the question.
OSers Made to Testify.
That the protection went clear around
the policemen is the prevailing theory.
Tenders of information continue to
reach the District Attorney from unex.
pected Bources. Government officers
are on the list of those who by the
nature of their duties have been In
position to learn things. One former
police officer was closeted with Deputy
Maguire yesterday and is believed to
have furnished valuable information.
As the present grand jury sits until
the beginning of the September term
of court, the probe is procedlng in
leisurely manner. It will not be neces
sary to hold the jury in session all
the time, but it may be called together
at any moment when new evidence is
ready for presentation.

Another grand jury has refused to

the third grand jury to refuse similar

and several others.
They were arrested by Sheriff's
deputies in a raid on the Rhode &

ADVENTISTS PLAN MEETING
Daily Camp Conferences to Be Held
Here for Six Weeks. '
Dally camp meetings will be con

the Seventh Day Adventists, who re

at East Davts and East Fifteenth

ers at the West Side meetings will be
W. H. Cottrell, Milton H. St. John. J.
J. Nethery and others.
. choir of 60 voices will be conducted
by Professor Johnson. Discussions at
the various meetings will relate to
Biblical prophecies from the Babylonian
Empire to the present time, with par
ticular reference to the prophecies per
taining to America.
The Seventh Day Adventists are ac
tive In their opposition to a union of
church and state. Their own experi
ence In having difftoulty to provide
room for their rapidly increasing mem
bership, they say, is argument suffi
cient to prove that people don't need to
be forced by law to worship.

Assessor Calls Is Valued at $2000
"When Hyman. Cohen. Wants to
Give Ball for Jake.
District Attorney Evans yesterday
caught Hyman Cohen and I. Segel in
the act of trying to become bondsmen
of the "straw" variety for Jake Cohen,
held on a charge of assault and battery,
and stated that he would go before the
grand jury and seek to have them in
dicted for perjury.
Cohen, who has a store at 273 Front
treet, gave its cash value as $2000.
The records in County Assessor Reed's
office showed that he had given its
value as $350 In a sworn statement for
assessment purposes. On learning of
the oath taken in the District Attor
ney's office, Mr. Reed promptly Jumped
the assessment up to $1200, and Cohen
fumed and wrung his hands In despair.
He had told Mr. Evans that his store
was assessed at $1000.
Segel swore, when seeking to Qualify
as a bondsman, that he owned the
premises at 1129 Emerson street, and
that this property was worth $2000 in
excess of $400 which he owed on it.
The assessment rolls showed that he
is not the record owner and that the
property Is assessed for only a few
hundred dollars.
When Mr. Evans succeeded George J.
Cameron as District Attorney about the
first difficulty he encountered was find
ing defendants and bondsmen when
cases were called. The bonds did not
show where the bondsmen lived or
what they owned, and letters addressed
to them came back unanswered. These
are what are known among the legal
fraternity as "straw bonds."
With the assistance of J. L. Ham-
mersly and Robert F. Maguire, two
deputies who have had some experience
in banking, Mr. Evans formulated, for
the' benefit of prospective bondsmen.
such a list of questions as bank offi
cers ask when one desires to borrow
money, and adopted a system of making
the would-be bondsmen swear to the
truth of their answers and write the
answers themselves. This leaves the
way clear for perjury prosecutions In
cases where deception Is practiced.
FOOT FAULT RULE PUZZLE
AT PARIS MEETIXG IMPORTANT
QCESTIOXS DISCUSSED.
Novelty of Slaking Regulation Read
So That Server Be Entitled to
Raise Both Feet Comes TJp.
In connection with the convention
held in Paris this year to complete the
organization of the International-Lawn
Tennis Federation, two matters were
discussed, neither of which, however,
got beyond the stage of discussion. The
most important of these was the
amendment of the present foot fault
rule, and a. most radical change was
suggested by H. H. Monckton. one of
the British Isles representatives. He
read the proposed text of a new foot
fault rule, which is as follows:
"The server shall, before commencing
to serve, stand with both feet at rest
on the ground behind (i. e.. furthei
from the net than) the base-line, and
within the limits of the Imaginary
continuation of the half-court and side
lines, and from such position shall de
liver the service; but the server may
raise one foot from the ground before
the service is delivered, provided such
foot Is replaced on the ground behind
the base-line before either foot is
placed on the court."
It was stated that a suggestion had
been made that the server should be en
titled to raise both feet (i. e.. Jump),
and, after a brief discussion. It was
decided to refer the draft to the vari
ous associations, and to discuss the
matter once more at the next annual
meetfng.
The great novelty of such a rule will
be apparent at once. The present rule
Is as follows:
"Law 6. The server shall before
commencing to serve stand with both
feet at rest behind (1. e., further from
the net than) the base line and within
the limits of the imaginary continua
tion of the half-court and side-lines,
and thereafter the server shall not run,
walk, hop or Jump before the service
has been delivered, but the server may
raise one foot from (and, if desired, re
place it on) the ground, provided that
both feet are kept behind the base
line until the service has been de
livered."
The proposed rule undoubtedly is de
signed to lessen the advantage now
possessed by the server.
The second subject brought up was
the value of prizes. As the feeling of
the meeting appeared to be In favor
of the reduction of their value. It was
agreed that the delegates should refer
the matter to their respective associa
tions. DRIVER DIES ON HIGHWAY
