'.' Washington, Aug. IS. The final test
Of Captain Thomas Baldwin's dirigible
airship, which will decide whether it
will be purchased hv the government,
will be held late this afternoon. The
speed test of yesterday was satisfactory
and the 'only point left is the question
of endurance.
The board of officers superintending
the tests announced this afternoon that
. the official record of the speed attained
J'esterday. subject to correction, wns
J.61 miles per hour. In order to -be
, absolutely fair and make the figures
correct beyond a doubt the signal corps
has asked the geological survey offlciala
. to confirm the measurement of the dls
tance covered.
In the endurance test this evenlnar
the government requires that the balloon I
.. snau remain in toe air two hours and
- - cover at least 2 miles in that time.
It Is believed the baloon will stand
the test end it is probable the govern
ment will pay Captain Baldwin J7.000
for the balloon.

t.'nless a rov which has broken out
between the Portland Theatrical Man
agers' association and the Musicians'
Mutual alliance is patched up and one
party or the other recedes from its
present position, or some basis of com
promise is arrived at, Portland theatres
will be without music this coming sea
son. Think of it! The poor, Innocent
heroine, driven hv a cruel father out
into the cold world, perishing in a snow
drift without tin: accompaniment of
slow music. Life would hardly be
worth dying. And when Hans, the lonj
and lanky, kicks Moses, the short and
squatty, in his pillow stuffed stomach,
imagine how flat tho generally roar
tiroductng stunt would fall If there
were no bang of the bass drum to ac
company the kick. Nor Is It possible
to think of petite Marie dancing all
alone out on the front of the stage,
impaled bv the white spot light of thii
calcium, without tho thrilling, rippling
music of the orchestra down in front
to keep up her exhlleration.

But that is the way things promise to

is the same old story; The employes

don't work for what you have been get

The theatrical managers believe that
they hold the whip hand at present.
"We don't have to have music In our
A theatres." they say. "We can get along
without the musicians a lot easier than
1 they can without us. otlicr cities have

on account of a demand made by the
i musicians for a large Increase In pay.
Heretofore ordinary musicians have
been getting $27.50 a week, and leaders
$33, but when Manager Sutton came to
take charge of the Orpheum and an
nounced that he would put in an or
chestra of 10 pieces, which Is larger
than any other ' theatre in this part of
the country employs, the musicians, it
is said, came forwacg with a demand
for a rate of $85 a week for .ordinary
players and $4ft for leaders Manager
Sutton summarily refused to pay any
such scale, and the other theatre man
agers have announ'.-ed their intention of
standing by him.
Want to Play Fair.
George L. Baker, president of the
managers' association, says that the
managers want to Vie fair, but they con
sider the demand of the musicians very
exorbitant and will not accede to it. He
Pays tho managers will stand by Mr.
Button and all the theatres will get
along with only a piano during the sea
son unless the musicians reeedp from
the stand they have taken. "We can
run our theatres without orchestras," he
says, and it remains to be seen

i.oT.'n1 'Vi'- r- Aug. 15.--Mayor
liBiiKhlln has appointed a committee of
nine- citizens to drart a new charter for
1' orest Grove.
The scope of the present charter is
inadequate to meet the needs of this
rapid y growing city. One of the most
pressing neeis Is II T1PW TV Tt f fr DC7t Am
and the sidewalk problem under the old!
that neither Uordon or the laliorors
und mechanics who worked 041 the arch
will receive any money.
Although Gordon turnlshed a bond of
12.500 guaranteeing; to have the arch
completed 011 time, the board took no
cognizance or th bond In Its action
yesterday. As a result of the board's
action in Ignoring the bond laborers
and mechanics will have to sue Gor
don to recover their money. The city
simply clears Itself of the entlro trans
action and holds Gordon responsible for
on elm-won 01 tne arcn. They went
further and declared the arch a nula
ance and ordered it removed. Inas

for small amounts ranging from a day's
WBgO to $60. it is not nrnhnhlx llinf
many of, them will sue. Gordon. him
self will be loser on the arch because
he has not been paid Hiid will not be.
Further he will be put to the expense
of tearing the structure down.

criticism of the executive boards ac

city snouid see that Gordon la paid
something for his efforts If he acted in
gooj fulth and also hold that the labor
ers should be paid. They takft this
stand, they say, because the city ordered
inn num uoue.
On the other hand the board claims
thnt the contract wos Illegal ami that
the city had no right to spend Its
money for the arch. Therefore, they
declare, the city cannot pay for the
arch.
Tho arch has been an elephant on the
city's hands ever since It wus started.
Arier tne council passed an ordinance
authorizing the city executive board to
construct the arch. Mayor I-ano vetoed
the measure. It was then passed over
his veto. The executive board then nil-
