Hin son. pastor of the White Temple, at the men's meeting in the Young Men's Christian Association this afternoon at S o'clock. Other features of the meet ing will be instrumental music by R. R.

Schu-mann-Heink Friday evening, Oc tober 24, under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. promises to outshine all other musical events of the season. The warm, yet regal splendor of her glorious womanhood, her genial human sympathy, and moth er wit make themselves felt no less Han her wonderful voice, the greatest contralto to be found In the world. Chapters have been published about the career of this wonderful artist. As a Wagnerian interpreter she is with out a rival. No singer of the times ever has surpassed her impersonations of such roles as Ortrud, Erda and Fricka;- but, Wagner is not all; as Fides In "The Prophet," as Delilah and as .Azucena, she has commanded the enthusiastic tributes from operagoers all over the world. A queen of tragedy, Madame Schumann-Heink is no less wonderful when she essays the field of comedy. Her Dame Quickly, in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," re mains one of the memorable operatic portraits to opera subscribers in New York. In the exalted realm of lieder sing er, Schumann-Heink again stands un rivalled. She sings over 300 of Schu bert's 700 songs; she sings all the Schumann songs that are found on programmes today. Her renditions of the Brahms lieder are particularly beautiful, fully as beautiful as her singing of Schubert lieder. Robert Franz. Richard Strauss, Max Reger and Grieg; then her lofty singing of old Italian and - French songs, as well as the modern French songs and arias. VON BORSTEL REPORT III INSURANCE HAN FAVORS 20 OR 23 TAXPAYIJfQ AGENTS. Member of Committee Named to Make ReeommcBdattoaa Advlaea Lower Amount on Armory. H. Von Borstel, minority member of the Insurance committee of the County Court, has submitted the following re port: . v "County Commissioners, Multnomah County, Oregon. "Gentlemen: As member of the com mittee appointed by your body to In vestigate and make recommendations as to the best method of handling fire In surance covering the properties of the County of Multnomah. I herewith reo ommend the forms now In use, and that the total amount of insurance the county is going to carry be placed on pro rata basis with the number of agents your body decides upon. There are many old established agencies who are taxpayers, who are entitled to some of the county's business, and if your body should decide to do this, it will certainly prove satisfactory to the agents of this county. "I would suggest you ask the agents, through the press, to make an applica tion, and that the insurance be distrib uted at the discretion of the Commis sioners to about 20 or 25 agents who are taxpayers, and be placed In com panies that have a good reputation and who met their obligations in the 6an Francisco fire. I also recommend the county do not carry the present amount of Insurance on the Armory, and Instead of carrying 90 per cent, as now in force, this should be reduced to 60 per cent. My reason is that It is almost Impossible to have a damage greater than that amount This is only my judgment and I will pass it back to you or any agent for their opinion. Also, further, I would recommend all policies be written as of one date to omit unnecessary clerical work. I recommend the County Commissioners file an application with the rate mak ers, requesting the county properties be re-surveyed and a copy of the rate makeup be supplied to your body show ing any deficiencies and their recom mendations. "Would also recommend that Mr. Clemens be taken care of in this mat ter, for the trouble and expense he has been put to and that the same be left to the Commissioners as to the amount." East Side Club Protests. Complaints by Fred Hesse, of the Hesse-Martin Ironworks, and other Bhippers, that the O.-W. R. & N.' Com pany has discriminated against them in rendering car sedvlce when ship ments were made via the North Bank road has caused the Greater East Side Club to make formal protest to the City Commissioners in an effort to have service on the East Side regulat ed by the authorities.
