OCTOBER 3 is the date Steers &
Coman have settled upon for the
first concert of their season at the
Helligr. -Margaret Matzenauer, who
possesses what has been pronounced
the greatest voice at the Metropolitan
Opera-House, New York, not excepting
even Caruso, will open the series of
concerts.
Madame Matzenauer is a Hungarian
by birth, and has been identified with
all that is heroic In Wagnerian opera,
singing both soprano and contralto
roles. She Is certainly the darling of
the gods, for no other singer of our
day is gifted with a voice of such ex
ceptional range, such noble volume of
tone and enchanting art. such majesty
of mien. One critic says she is des
tined to be the legitimate successor of
Schumann-Heink; another declares
that the mantle of Xordica has fallen
upon her, so strangely does she unify
the gifts of the famous Wagnerian so
prano and the greatest contralto of
this generation Hi to a flaming -genius
peculiar to herself. In fact, bhe defies
classification.
The transcendent art of Ysaye. pere.
enables him to stir the emotions to
their profoundest depths with the mar
velous sweetness of his violin. Many
regard him as the most commanding
figure of all the ages in the violin
world.
Harold Bauer is leonine, yet perhaps
no other pianist of the day shows such
rare combination of sanity with all
that is ethereal in art interpretation,
culminating in a power of appeal that
never fails to enthrall both heart and
mind.
The captivating art and personality
of Frieda Hem pel, the young star of
the Metropolitan, left her without a
rival in Europe when in 1912 she came
to America. Her striking beauty is
more- than matched by a voice of such
exquisite quality and amazing bril
liancy that immediately she had New
York at her feet.
Both Frieda Hempel and Margaret
Matzenauer are strangers to Portland,
for each is now making a Western
tour for the first time. Likewise Rern
ald Werrenrath, the new American
baritone, whose luscious voice and at
tractive programme have given him
great prestige and vogue elsewhere.
These three young stars will be pre
sented to Portland for the first time
by Steers & Coman this season. The
concerts will take place at the Heilig.
this being the 17th season in which
distinguished artists in the world of
music have been brought to the Pacific
Northwest tinder this management of
Steers & Coman.
ROAD AGENT ACQUITTED
ALLEGED 1XTIMIDATIOX CHARGE
SOOX DISPOSED OF.
Verdict In Obtained Without Word of
Testimony Introduced for
Defense
Without Introducing a word of tes
timony in his defense. W. S. Beam.
agent for the Southern Pacific Com
pany at the Brooklyn yards, was yes
terday acquitted by a jury in District
Judge Jones' court of a. charge of
threatening, intimidating and coerc
ing" Harry E. Wood, a car clerk, resid
ing at 4712 Seventieth street Southeast,
from joining a labor organization, the

The complaining witness. Mr. Wood.
testified that he was told by both the
defendant, Mr. Beam and A. A. Love,
chief clerk in the office of the division
superintendent, by whom he was dis
charged August 1 last, that if he
"joined this organization he would be
discharged." Frank Cox, a switchman,
residing at 893 Fast Twenty-fifth

living at 843 North Jersey street, testi
fied to hearing the alleged threat.
On cross-examination by Ben C. Dey,

appeared for Beam, Wood admitted
that at; the time of the interview he
was already a member of the organiza

Mr. Dey referred to this fact and
cited a number of decisions In which
laws similar to the statute under which
the defendant was being prosecuted
were held to be unconstitutional.

District Attorney's Office and Juve
nile Court AVin Co-operation on
Part of Playhouse Managers.
Warning to Be Given.
Managers of Portland theaters at a
conference held in the chambers of
Juvenile Court Judge Tazwell yester
day gave' assurance of their . earnest
c-operation in the efforts be ins? made
uy me uisirict Attorneys office and
the officers of the Juvenile Court to
stamp- out immorality among young
girls. The meeting was . attended by
Deputy District Attorney Dempxcy,
Chief Probation Officer Spencer and
the representatives of two amusement
houses.
It developed at the conference that
the charges that have reached the Dis
trict Attorney's office from young
girls involve only youths who are en
gaged in the sale of candy in some
of the show houses. In not a single
instance, explained Mr. Dempsey, do
the charges, in any way. involve the
ushers who are employed directly by
the management of these places pf
entertainment.
In this connection it was called to
the attention of the Juvenile Court of
ficers that the lads employed as candy
salesmen are entirely outside the con
trol of the owners of the theaters. In
this city, the, concessipn for selling'
candy - in most of the sho.- houses is
owned by a concern with head-quarters
in Los Angeles. . The boys are em
ployed by a resident representative of
that company, are furnished their uni
forms, paid and discharged by tho
same agent, independent of the man
agers . of the theaters.'
The manager of one of the theaters
said the fact that these salesmen are
not rsid adequately accounts for the
employment, of some boys whose rep
utatt : Is not always the be6t. Work
ing ' a a -commission of 20 per cent
on iheir sales, few, of these boys, it
was represented, earn to exceed 56 or
$8 a week. This ' same manager as
serted that under the terms of his
contract with the company owning the
candy concession he could discharge
these boys only when their further
presence about the place was oDjec
tionable. He said that . although he
kept a reasonably . close supervision
over the sales boys it was impossible
always to detect them at, their mis
chief. He also made the charge that
in some of the cases under investi
gation the .accused lads had declared
positively: they first met the girls who
have brought the charges of improper
conduct on the streets or at piai-ea
other than In the theater.
As a result of the meeting. Pro
bation. Officer Spencer was directed to
moot with the candy salesmen and
warn- them against a continuance of
the offenses with which tnree oi
their number have been charged. The
same . officer also will communicate
with the officers of the company own
ing the concessions at- Los Angeles
and demand that greater care be ex
ercised by that concern in employing
sales boys. .
