APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN Supreme Court to Decide Whether Depositors Are to Get 100 Cents on Dollar. . Savings depositors of the defunct State bank of Portland, now in process of liquidation, will receive their money in full If a decree handed down yesterday by Presid ing Judge Tucker stands. In decid ing the suit of Mary Steelhammer vs. Frank C Bramwell, state super intendent of banks and in charge of liquidation of the State bank,' Judge Tucker decreed that deposi tors In the savings department shall receive all funds derived from liquidation of that department and an equal share with other deposi tors in assets of the commercial department. Supreme Court to Decide. By those familiar with the bank's affairs it is said that this inter pretation assures that all savings depositors, with properly filed claims, will receive 100 cents on the dollar. It had previously been cal culated that the' bank would pay out approximately So cents on the dollar. Under the present decree depositors in the commercial de partment will get less than that amount. Final adjudication of the case will await -a decision by the state supreme court, however, as both parties to the suit had made known their desire to appeal for a ruling of the higher tribunal on the rather ambiguous state laws apply ing in the matter. Two other suits relating to liqui dation of the State bank were de cided by Judge Tucker yesterday at the time the more Important decree was made. The action of Grace A. Doxsie, in which it was alleged that savings depositors should receive all funds from their department and prior right to liquidated 'funds of the commercial department was dismissed, de murrer of Superintendent Bram well's attorney being sustained. Uphani Sn! Dismissed. The suit of C. R. Upham against Superintendent Bramwell met the same fate. Demurrer of the de fendant was sustained and the case dismissed. In the Upham suit it was sought to enjoin Bramwell from effecting "offsets" in liquidat ing the bank. Where a depositor was a debtor to the bank it was the practice to apply his deposits in concellation of the note or debt, as an offset. This practice the judge found permissible. All three suits decided yesterday were brought for the various plain tifs by John W. Kaste and were defended by Jay Bowerman, as at torney for the state banking department.

WITH the formation of the Sym phony society of Portland last Monday night, the sym phony orchestra has become more than ever before a real community enterprise, expressive of the musical and cultural Interests of the citizens of the Rose city. The creation of the Symphony society means both "the perpetuat ing as a Portland institution of the symphony orchestra, and rendering more democratic the personnel of its supporters," as expressed by James B. Kerr. Mr. Kerr explained the purpose of the new organization to the music lovers, who were the guests Monday of the orchestra at a complimentary concert given at the Multnomah hotel for guarantors and season ticket subscribers. The concert was a pronounced success and will be made an annual event, following a plan in vogue to several large eastern cities. The concert was preceded by a number of formal dinner parties at the Muitnoman. Plan Is Popular. The enthusiasm with which the idea of the new society was received Is indicated in the 100 membership cards signed that night, which brought tlOOO at one stroke into the orchestra treasury. Five hundred members are expected by fall. In organizing a symphony society Portland is adopting, with its own variations, a scheme which has proved effective in cities whose symphony orchestras are known throughout the country. " ' Annual dues will be 10 and win assist in financing the orchestra. The payment of dues does not en title a member . to any privileges. but is Indicative merely of his inter est in and indorsement of the or chestra. By-laws for the Symphony society were adopted Monday night and the present board of directors of the symphony orchestra authorized to seleot a number of others to serve with them on an enlarged board. The present board will meet tomor row morning at 11 o'clock in the offices of Guy W. Talbot to choose the new members and make further plans for the organization. The first to sign as members of the new society were 18 men from the orchestra, who had asked for the privilege of enrolling among the first in the society. They were Carl Denton, conductor; L. Ambrosch, Ted Bacon, Walter Bacon, R. L. Bar ron, J. F. N. Colburn, F. Eichenlaub, Carl Grissen, M. Dunham, H. Mcin tosh, L. Shurtliff, W. N. Livingston, E. Thielhorn, John Britz", W. J. Cor nish, W. A. Sieberts, G. Bertram and F. B. Neuberger. Two Methods Cited. In speaking of the new society Mr. Kerr said, at the gathering which preceded the concert: "There are, of course, two ways in which an orchestra may be supported by the contributions of the generous and enthusiastic few, or by the co operation of the many. In most cities the former plan has been adopted with the result that for a time, while generosity and enthusi asn continued, great successes were scored, but frequently, when the few became too few, periods of musical aenation ensued. "The history of orchestral music in Portland dates back, . I am told, to . 1882, when the first orchestral society was formed. This society was of limited membership and though many fine concerts were given, the organization was com pelled, for want of adequate sup port, to disband in 1891. "The present symphony orchestra was founded in 1911 and therefore has been in existence for 11 years. ro a considerable degree It has be come a community affair, for the list of guarantors and subscribers has approximated 100 and the list of season ticket holders has numhrftd as high as 725. Supporters Are Praised. "Too much cannot be said of the tireless energy of those who have been responsible for the success of the orchestra during this peTiod of ten years, nor for the devotion of the musician who have been mem bers of the orchestra. But as you all understand, no orchestra can be self-supporting in the sense that box-office receipts can be made to pay its way and I venture to say that as eaoh season has ended, those having the responsibility for the future have wondered if 'hard times' might not handicap the next suc ceeding season. "It would seem that there can be no ground for argument as to the desirability of perpetuating the or chestra as a community institution, nor as to the advantages which ac crue from it to those of us who are fortunate enough to be part of this community. Orchestra to Advertise City. "We have established as an insti tution the Rose Festival, which is largely financed by contributions from those who justify their ex penditure on the ground that stran gers will spend money In our city and some percentage of them will settle here and help pay taxes. We extend a welcome to various gather ings and advertise Portland as an i.deal convention city much upon the same ground. If these thlne-s r justified as community activities which may bring us as new fellow neighbors some additional taxpay ers, some genial revelers, or some hunters, , fishermen, or other tour ists, who will be here '.today and gone tomorrow. Is it not good busi ness to advertise Portland as the home of one of the great orchestras or the country? Wealth and com fort and peace and happiness go hand in hand with culture. It is hard sometimes to say which la the mother and which the child and we have a great orchestra." Tribute Paid Mrs. Spencer. W. D. Wheelwright, honorary president of the Symphony orches tra, explained that the Portland symphony is the only symphony or chestra in the country which is at least 50 per cent self-suDDOrtiner. He said this was largely due to the line spirit of the men in the orches tra and to the ability of Mrs. M. Donald Spencer, business manager, who gives her time without charge to this work. Both Mr. Kerr and Mr. Wheelwright paid sincere trib utes to Mrs. Spencer's devotion to the orchestra, which she will serve again next season as business man ager. Support Is Needed. "The results of the 11 years' work of the orchestra have been such as to make it incumbent on every citi zen who desires the welfare of the city, to support the orchestra and make it' a bigger thing than ever," said Mr. Wheelwright. He mentioned the six concerts to be given next season and the six rehearsals for the children in .the public schools. . Mr. Wheelwright explained that in America symphony orchestras have four sources of maintenance sub scribers to , a maintenance fund, holders of season tickets, door re ceipts at each concert and a sym phony society. He said Portland has previously depended upon the first three and has now added the fourth. Subscribers Are Listed. The subscribers to the mainte nance fund during the pact season were: J, C.

Subscriptions Again Assured. The subscribers to the mainte nance fund and season ticket hold erg will continue to support the or chestra, and many who have con tributed generously in past years, already have signified their Inten tions of giving the same amounts this season. Indicative of the increased inter est In the orchestra, is the fact that the symphony orchestra office In the Sherman-Clay building has re mained open longer into the summer than ever before. Many renewals of season tickets are coming into the office, In spite of the fact that no definite announcements for the artists for the coming season have been made as yet. Contracts are now being signed with six artists for the coming sea son and announcements will be made soon. HEALTH CHIEF IS HERE MAJOR ABBEY IS BACK FROM CALIFORNIA. Rumors Reaching The Hague From Moscow Conflict. FRENCH.ARE DICTATORIAL Accomplishments of Unit in the Southern State Investigated. Extension Is Lauded. Major P. L.Abbey, executive sec retary of the League for the Con servation of Public Health, has just returned from San Francisco, where he investigated the accomplishments of the .California unit of the organ ization. He says that in that state splendid progress has been made, of which perhaps the most important and far-reaching is hospital exten sion and betterment work. The league there is bringing together the management, staff and directo rate of hospitals for conferences and exchange of ideas, which has re sulted in placing California well in the lead of other states in its hos pital service. Major Abbey said that through the league's influence and assistance many new hospitals have been es tablished in small towns and cities in California. At the present time that state has over 400 - hospitals with modern equipment for the care of the sick. "The public is rapidly growing to Doubt Seems . to Be Increasing That Conference Will End in Any Settlement. ' BY SAMUEL SPEWACK. (Copyright. 1922, by the New York world. Published by Arrangement.) THE HAGUE, June 24. (Special Cable.) The allies are all ready for the Russians, but because of con flicting reports that have come out of Moscow they do not know what kind of Russians they will meet. The experts finished their prelim inary plans for official contact with the bolshevists nex't Tuesday, al though the Russians are expected tomorrow. Reports of changes in Russia trouble the delegates here, as they are under instructions from diplo mats at home, and each fresh change results in new Instructions. However, their agreed position is not a hard and fast one. They sim ply have decided to be stern and to keep the bolshevists from the lime light. France Wants to Dictate. The French, who head the prop erty commission, are urging the conferees to adopt a dictatorial at tude. As about $0,000,000,000 worth of property is involved in the de bates of the commission, It probably will hold the center of the stage. The British and Italians, however, seek to settle all problems like a series of law suits, without a rat tling discussion of principles. The French are out to compel the So viets to swallow the principle of private property and give confis cated property back unconditionally to former owners. The British hope to get around this by securing the property under "progressive rights," which will give owners all the privileges of a title in fee simple. Russians to Demand Credits. The debts, credits and property commissions will meet simultane ously. But since the Russians de mand credits before they give con cessions on the other points, some difficulty is anticipated in persuad ing the Russians to jog along until the conference is out of the debts and property woods. Some American claims against Russia will be presented with the remainder by Swedes. These firms which have branches In Sweden will have their claims ready by Tuseday or Wednesday, and they will be pre sented with the others. The Standard Oil company and several mining concerns are in cluded in these American firms. However, the total of their claims, it is said, is not large. Conference Causes Misgivings. One of the French experts told me he could .see little hope in The Hague, and he believes reports tell ing of a drift to the left in Moscow. Privately the French say they do not think the conference will last three weeks. Even one of the Brit ish delegates said: "We can't go home until the Rus sians get here. It is generally agreed that the arrival of the Rus sians and the programme they bring will decide the fate of the meeting. "Meanwhile Colonel H. W. Boyle, who negotiated the Shell Oil con tract at Genoa, is awaiting here in his individual capacity." Major P. ti. Abbey, executive secre tary of League for Conservation of Public Health. GROUP HOLDS MEETING All-Day Session Is Enjoyed by Multnomah Pomona. Members of the Multnomah Po mona Grange held an all-day ses sion in the Evening Star Grange hall last Wednesday, June 21.
