8 YOUTH AND AGE IN PHYSICAL DRILLS Turnverein Classes Perform Before Crowded House as They Do in Gymnasium. FOLK DANQES;-' PLEASING - Business Men and Matrons Vie With - Misses and Children in Attract- ing Applause of Audience for Feats of Skill. . Talk about preparedness! . r- Here was an actual demonstration of it at the Heilig Theater last night. A - company of men and women ranging r in years from 5 to 50 showed what it means to be prepared, physically and mentally, and a crowd that filled the great building looked on with approval. J The demonstration was the ninth grand annual gymnastic exhibition of the Portland Social Turnverein, con ducted under direction of Professor Richard Genserowski, who for nine years has been instructor In physical culture at the German House. The entertainment consisted of a series of IS numbers typical of the work performed every day in the Ger- man House gymnasium. It opened with a song by the Arion Philharmonic chorus under direction of "Professor Lucien E. Becker. Z The 'spectators gained -a fair Idea of 'the comprehensive activity of the Turnverein when all the classes marched onto the stage, beginning with the tiniest little girls and ending with i bearded men, and women whose hair is streaked with "gray. All were at S tired in regulation gym suits. Children Give Folk Dances. ; The Turnverein curriculum aims to instill an Interest in athletics in the youthl This was plainly proved in the J! wonderful state of perfection shown i by the first girls' class, composed of youngsters between the ages of 5 and .,-.3 2. They performed a series of grace--Tul hand exercises and steps, followed by a beautiful folk dance. The dumb- bell exercises by the class of smallest boys likewise proved attractive. j- A dash of comedy was provided in the rough-and-tumble games by the . first boys' class. It was good exercise for the boys and brought out their V. ense of good sportsmanship and fair v'play. '. Probably the most remarkable item ' f entertainment was that of the third ' women's class. This group consists of isome of the older women, as well as some of the more youthful married wo wijnen. Among them, however, are some 1 who have grown sons and daughters in J', the active departments. The ease and grace with which they y Demonstrated their acquirements in '" esthetic calisthenics and fancy steps proved a certain tribute to the value k of physical training and the skill of r their instructor. ' f Girls Have Nyrapk Dance. .".. Similar perfection and precision were . presented by the second women's after- noon class in a rhythmic dumb-bell Crill. jt,:" A touch of the spectacular combined with poetry of motion was the opera -ong "Oberon" and nymph dance by a S. class of young girls. Miss Cornelte Leick added to the interest by some J. sensational toe dancing. This feature r- was arranged and composed by Profes- ; eor Genserowski himself. .- The performance of the senior class 2 on the parallel bars would have done credit to professional entertainers. Among the other notable offerings of 4. the evening were the classical and fancy steps by the women's beginner's k. class, the wand exercises by the busi vness men's group and the tennis drill 'by a class of specially trained young Lwomen who applied the motions cus- tomary to outdoor tennis to a fine gymnastic exercise, using tennis r racquets as in the performance. The apparatus exercise by the small . boys' groups was one of the best hits t of the evening, while the performance "by the active seniors on parallel bars end horses proved a fitting finale. Governor Wlthycombe came down a. from Salem to attend the exhibition and pronounced it one of the finest demon trations of wholesome physical train ing it had ever been his delight to see. rA.

Mr. Campbell's first number was a soul-stirring rendition of the Br thoven "Sonato, opus 63," with its al legro con brio, adagio molto and other movements. He interpreted this se lection with a reverence, a solemnity, that was echoed In the chantlike, ca thedral motifs that came from th keys. His manner was always modest and respectful. His Brahms "Rhap sody," and the difficult "La Campan ella" (Paganlni-Liszt) were brilliantly played.

TEN HOURS. WHISKY BAN WANTED California Grape Growers to Introduce Anti-Saloon Bill. WINE SALE TO BE PROVIDED Promised Measure Also Would Per mit Beer Purchases From Pub lic Dining-Rooms and Stores. Present ; BUI Opposed. SAN FRANCISCO. Fe. 24. (Special.) Addressing the Commonwealth Club last night, Frank Swett, president of the Grape Growers' Protective Asso ciation, said a bill to eliminate saloons and stop the sale of high-proof liquors in California would be put before the Legislature at the last half of the two part session. Mr. Swett declared the Rominger bill, providing liquor containing not more than 10 per cent alcohol only, was ab solutely Impossible because it would mean the death of the vineyards of the etate. Outlining the proposed measure, the speaker said the law would bar all whisky, gin, brandy, vermouth and oth er ardent liquors, but would place no limit on alcohol contents of, wines and beers. It would close the saloons, but permit the sale of sealed bottles of wine and beer in retail storea, of which there may be not more than one for every 2000 persons. Cafe Salea Provided. The proposed law would permit the consumption of wines and beers In homes a.nd Its sale In publio dining rooms and hotels except in booths, from noon-, to midnight. . The measure would permit the manufacture and ex port of wines and beers. "A 10 per cent limit on wines and beers would destroy the vineyards and brewing industries of the state," Swett said. "Dry wines have an alcoholic content of 11. 12 and 13 per cent and sweet wines are from 19 to 21 per cent alcohol. The Rominger bill would an nihilate the grape industry of Cali fornia. "The law which we propose will eliminate the sale of hard liquor, which now amounts to $30,000,000 annually in this state. It will put an end to the treating habit . and - tend to promote sobriety and temperance like that in Spain and the rural districts of France." Commission la Opposed. Mr. Swett . said the Grape Growers' Protective Association is opposed to a bill which would provide for the ap pointment of a commission of seven to study the liquor question for a year and report. He said the subject had been exhausted already. J. P. Rettenmayer, president of the Brewers' Association, said he was p- fiosed to every bill before the Legls ature which proposes to regulate, limit or prohibit the liquor traffic He said he spoke for himself, and not as the representative of his organization. "Senator Rominger said his bill was not Intended to injure the beer and wine industries." continued Retten mayer. "but he is credited with a later statement that his measure would ulti mately wipe out wine and beer. The power of police commissions and city councils is so great now that further regulation of liquor is not necessary. Let us enforce existing laws." Five Inches at Pendleton. PENDLETON. Or.. Feb. 24.

LAST DAY TO SIGN PASSES Opposition to Specification for Steel Structure la Most Bitter From Polk Delegation and Lobby Against It Is Maintained. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.) House bill No. S75. providing for the construction of an inter-county bridge over the Willamette River between Marion and Polk Counties at Salem, passed both houses of the Legislature, but never has reached the Governor's of rice. Today was the last day for the Gov ernor to act on bills and failure to find the bill at midnight tonight would mean some peculiar complications. If the records show that It actually passed It will become a law without his signa ture after the expiration of the five day period at midnight tofiight, but failure to Bend the bill to the executive would prevent him having an oppor tunity to pass on it adversely if he wished to do so. The bill passed the House, went to the Senate, was amended In the Sen ate, sent back to the House for concur rence in the amendments, but the House refused to concur. After considerable Jockeying back and forth through a conference committee, the House finally concurred and the bill was sent to the Senate engrossing committee for the Senate amendments to be incorporated. Bill Sent Back to Honae. Chief Clerk Cochran, of the Senate, says that he remembers sending the bill to that committee, and also re members sending it across to the House, securely sealed. That is his last recollection of the bill, as it is the duty of the House to forward to the Governor all House bills which have passed both houses. Chief Clerk Drager. of the House. Is not In the city, and will not return un til Monday, consequently Just the status of the bill In the House could not be ascertained here today. Close examination of the record re veals the fact that the bill never reached the Governor's office and It haa not been filed in the office of the Secretary of State. The bill causod considerable furore when going through the Legislature. A monster delegation came from Polk County to lobby against it and this was followed by a great outpouring of Salem citizens, all wearing badges, de manding a bridge for Salem. Co arts Deadlock Over Bridge. The bill was introduced by W. Al Jones, of Marion County, after the County Courts of Marlon and Polk Counties had squabbled at length over the question of a bridge. The highway commission ordered the present bridge closed after declaring it unsafe. The commission then made recom mendations as to types of new bridges, finding a steel bridge the cheapest and suggesting its construction. Marion County Court Insisted on constructing a steel bridge, while the Polk Coun ty Court stuck out for a more ex pensive concrete bridge. The courts deadlocked on the situation. Then came the bill which would force the construction of a steel bridge ' In accordance with the wishes of the Marlon County Court.

Drager. chief clerk of the House, dur ing the recent session of the State Legislature, said he thought he turned over. House Bill No. 375. providing for the construction of a bridge across the Willamette River between Marion and Polk counties, to Governor Withy combe, and took his official receipt. He said he could not substantiate this, however, until he returns to (Salem to morrow, and consults his records. In the event the bill is not In hands of the Governor. Mr. Drager says he has no knowledge of what became of It after It passed both houses on the recommendation of the conference com mittee to which it was referred.
