TITE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER" 2G, 1920 IT I PHOTOGRAPHER HELD OVER THEATER PHOTO Strikers' Agent Arrested After Getting Picture. TEST CASE IS EXPECTED First Attempt Is Blocked and Junes Is Keleased Bail Posted on Second tfrensc of Xlsrlit. Harold G. Jones, photographer em ployed by the musicians' union, which is on strike against the Jensen & Von Herberg theaters, was arrested last night by Patrolman Hirsch and held in the city jail for an alleged violation of the court order restrain ing the unions from taking pictures of the crowds in front of theaters owned by the Peoples Amusement company. He was booked on a tech nical charge of disorderly conduct. According to the police, Jones had Just taken a photograph of the Lib erty theater and of the crowd which stood in the lobby about 10 P. M. The photographer obtained his re lease on $250 bail. The arrest was, the police said, a result of Jones' second attempt to photograph the theater within half an hour. The first attempt, about 9:35, was blocked by Sergeant Sher wood and Patrolman Hirsch, who took the photographer into custody before he released the shutter of his camera. Charge Not Filrd Klrst Time. Sergeant Oelsner, who was in charge at police headquarters, de creed that since no picture had been taken the court order had not been violated. For that reason, the ser geant declined to allow a charge to be filed against Jones, who left the police station in company with sev eral friends. "Come back again," called Sergeant Oelsner genially, as the men filed out. Evidently the photographer took the invitation seriously, i'or before the policeman had settled comfort ably into hia chair Jones was back again. The arresting patrolman de clared that on the second occasion he had allowed the camera to be snapped before he took action. Jones had the bail in his pocket. Police officials believe that the pris oner was trying to be arrested in order to test out the temporary order issued by Presiding Judge Tazwell Thursday. Movie Operators Restrained. The order restrained the Moving Picture Machine Operators' union, local No. 159, from congregating in front of the theaters, using insulting language toward agents and em ployes of the theaters and the pa trons, from distributing handbills on the streets or from airplanes Tind from accosting patrons of the the aters as they enter or emerge from the theaters. Jones got into the limelight Tues day night when he engaged in a fight with C. S. Jensen, senior mem ber of the firm of Jensen & Von Herberg. Both men were arrested, but the cases were dismissed when they came up for trial in the munic ipal court. The photographs were said to have been taken for use in union litera ture, with the alleged object of show ing union members that may be among the theater patrons. 1 because of the fa r-t that the buckine' f horses secured this vear are unusually expert in unseating riders. Thirteen riders rode in the semi finals of the event and but two of them bit the dust. The two who were -dumped were Bill Kingham on Red Pepper and Johnny Magged, on Lightning Creek, the latter being disqualified for pull ing leather. Men who rode their mounts in the semi-finals in a man ner which kept the crowds breathless, until the Judge's gun was fired and a living mass of cheering humanity after that were: Happy Burmister on Bill Hart, Tex Smith on John Day, Harry Pruitt on Black Diamond, Buck Lucas on I. B. Dam, Hugo Strickland on Sundance, Ray Bell on Desolation, I. "W. Terry on Rimrock, Yakima Canutt on U-B-Dam, Norman Cowan on Leatherneck, Charley Johnson on Boise Kid and Bob Hall on Corkscrew. Many Thrills C-Iven. In the finals Strickland rode "So Name. the horse which Canutt won the championship on last year, and Canutt put up a pretty exhibition on Bill McAdoo. Today's cow pony, stagecoach race, squaw race, Indian race and other one-day events brought forth more entries than did the other days and neck-to-neck exhibitions were staged before the big bowl of humanity which banked the quarter-mile track in solid cordons on all sides. Today's wild-horse race, the closing event, was one of the biggest thrilPs of the programme and-- brought the big show to a close in a fitting man ner. It was in this event that Winne mucca Jack was killed. Fifty wild, plunging horses, rearing and kicking, were lassoed by horsemen, who, with assistants, saddled them and then started out on the perilous task of getting around the quarter-mile track to the finish line. The wild horses caused pandemonium to reign in the arena and the men in the event all took their lives in their hands. Nor man Cowan won the event. Tonight Pendleton is celebrating the gala day of the calendar for the thousands who are jamming her streets, packing her restaurants and hotels, overflowing happy canyon, the wildest little town in the west, and uniting in staging the annual carnival of the west.

CANADIAN VISITORS DUE Heavy Tourist Travel to California Is Declared Likely. Indications are that California travel this winter from Canada will be as heavy as last year, and pos sibly may exceed the average of sev eral years past, as conditions In the Dominion are getting -back to nor mal again. John M. Scott, general passenger agent of the Southern raclfic Oregon lines, will leave to day for Chicago on an official trip. He will spend October in visiting Canadian citiea in making a survey of the outlook for traftic. A. D. Wick, city passenger agent, also will make a trip to Canada to stimulate travel to California, and will meet Mr. Scott at Saskatchewan on his trip westward through Can ada, Mr. Wick will remain in Sas katchewan and Alberta throughout the greater part of the winter. It is expected that the movement of travel from the grain belt of west ern Canada will set In during the next month and continue until March. Preliminary plans have been com pleted for the establishment of a new extension course of the University of Oregon for the training of secretaes for community organizations, accord ing to H. O. Frobach. secretary of the Medford chamber of commerce, and T. L. Stanley, manager of the Klamath county chamber of commerce, who are Portland visitors. The course is to be conducted by mall throughout the school year, with an annual conference of the member ship of the class for a week annually, probably during the spring season. The two leaders in community work are making a survey of the towns of western Oregon to get iiwtouch with the local civic bodies. Tffey.. stopped for a day in Eugene, where they took up the matter with P. Li. Campbell, president of the university, who gave his approval; Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, and C. E. Kobbins, dean of the school of com merce. It is the plan proposed by the southern Oregon men and approved by the university heads that the course shall be conducted jointly by these two departments. Experts Are eeded. The need for trained experts in di recting community effort is receiving attention all over the country, says Mr. Stanley, and if it is to be efficient and bring good results the work must have a constantly increasing number of persons whose training qualifies them to deal with the complex prob lems of civic organizations. Mr. Frobach describes it as an ef fort to get away from haphazard methods that have long prevailed whereby the position of secretary was likely to be filled with an individual who had no other commendation than that he needed a job. At the annual conferences the speakers will be chiefly prominent leaders in commu nity work, whose lectures and instruc tion will be along the most practical lines. Montana University Pioneer. The University of Montana has pio neered among western schools in spe cialized training for persons who take up community work for their profes sional vocation. It has conducted a course in community leadership for two years, with annual conferences of the students scattered throughout the state in the extension course, held in July. 1919 and 1920. The attendance at the last conference was nearly double that of the previous year, and included students from neighboring states of Idaho and North Dakota. 'Three fundamentals are necessary to successful chamber of commerce work." said Mr. Frobach. '"of which the first is that it be properly organ ized and financed. The second is that it must have a constructive pro gramme, and the third essential to uccess is trained management. Efforts Should lie United." Without efficient leadership the best-supported organization, from a financial standpoint, might be the least successful possible, and any pro gramme for community advancement robably would be foredoomed to lau re. We believe the time has come when it is important that the efforts f community organizations be co rdinated with all the others within their natural or geographical terri- ory. This can only be accomplished by having the men in leadership thinking along the same constructive ines, prepared to make the most of their opportunities through educa ion In the best methods of directing their work." Mr. Frobach has been a resident of southern Oregon for more than ten years. He has been in commercial organization work for 11 years, three of which have been spent in Montana, where he was in touch with the uni versity work. At the Panama-Pacific International exposition he had charge of the display made by Rogue river valley and has been identified with publicity and community work in various localities. Experienced in Community Work. T. Uu Stanley, who has been mana ger of the Klamath county chamber of commerce for six months, has had about nine years' experience in com munity work, originally starting out after completing his work at the Uni versity of Illinois as farm adviser for county in North Dakota, later de veloped under the name of county agents throughout the western states. He was also a federal labor commis sioner in that state and more recently secretary of the chamber of commerce t Lewistown, Mont. He sees in the advancement of agriculture under county agents an inspiration for more effective chamber work. ' Mr. Stanley said: "The co-ordination of farm man agement through county agents, who are all trained men. is responsible for the fact that the farmer movements are going ahead more rapidly than have the business men in their organ izations. The agricultural college is the head '" for leadership among the farmers and we believe that the uni versity should be the Institution to lead the business men. I am con vinced that the lack of professional standing has handicapped the work of commercial organizations. ' "President Campbell of the Univer sity of Oregon, Dean Allen and Dean Robblns were all much Interested in the proposal to have an extension course established. They gave assur ance that it would be taken up seri ously as soon as the plans can be more definitely mapped and laid before them. It is with confidence that it will materially improve the efficiency of these institutions of the business men that we have approached the proposition."
