PORTLAND COMPLIMENTED
After paving many glowing compli
ments to Portland as a city of beauty
and exceptional culture, he elaborated
on what music can do for a com
munity. He said that good music Is
almost the very language of heaven,
something too big for language to ex
press. A great many people, he said,
have their souls strengthened by the
power of music, and in music may be
round the inspiring message of God.
The Rev. Mr. Harold L. Bowman. D.
P pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. Portland, said that music at
its best expresses itself in a social art
' that helps to produce a community
soul and calls for the finer emotions
and personalities. He said hatred and
jealousies have no place in music.
G. F. Johnson, speaking of music
- for the masses, said that the popular
music of the day presents a rather
i discouraging aspect and suggested that
it is for the people to make popular
' music better music by encouraging
- that which is good and discouraging
, that which is not.
; POWER. OP MCSIC
Franck Eichenlaub, president of the
! Musician s club, drew a mental pic
. ture of the world without a sound of
' music. "Suppose." he speculated," the
- birds should cease singing, the brooks
' should become silent and the wind
should no longer whisper through the
foliage." He thought it would be a
dreary, desolate world indeed, and the
applause that, greeted the remarks in
dicated that the others present thought

Kozer Appeals
Decree m Bate
Amendment Case
Salem. Sept. 23.; Notice of appeal
from the decree of Marion county cir
cuit court in the case Involving the
right of the proposed interest rata
amendment to a place on the Novem
ber ballot was filed with the supreme
court- this morning by Secretary of
State Kozer, the nominal defendant in
the injunction suit brought by S. S.
Johnson. Portland attorney.
No ground for the appeal is set out
in the notice, but it is understood that
the appeal is taken to further test out
the problem which has arisen through
the certification of names contained in
initiative petitions by notaries public
who do not possess a personal acquaint
ance with the persons to whose names
they have certified.-
It is understood here that no appeal
will be taken from the decree of the
marlon county circuit court restraining
the secretary of state placing the
Grange income tax measure and fish
ing measure on the November ballot.
These decrees, it is pointed out. were
based on facts brought" out In the
course of the hearings in the lower
court which conclusively showed an
Insufficient number of qualified voters
on the two petitions. The decree in the
Interest rate amendment, on the other
hand, was based upon the validity of
thu notarial certificates rather than
upon the validity of the signatures
contained on the petition.

not in command.
"There has recently been a peace
move from the De Valera side, but the
Free Staters have lgnord it bcause De
Valera has broken every pact he ever
made. His forces are suffering con
tinuous defeats. His men are desert
ing him. The morale is very low."
The intelligence department of the
Free State army has been Informed

: A
FMR! BRIDGE
CAUTION REPEATED
That the Morrison bridge is . in
danger of collapse, warning of which
condition was snade.to County Com
mfesioner Rufus C Hofanan Friday
by Samuel Murray, chief engineer of
the Union Pacific in Oregon, was re
iterated today by George '. Forsythe,
Portland bridge engineer. ?
Hoiman has passed the report to
his fellow commissioners. Charles Ru
deen and Ralph W Hoyt. with recom
mendation for immediate investigation.
Both inspections by the engineers werei
made without compensation as a con
tribution to public safety.
"I . noticed that the bottom : cords'
of both arms were apparently buckled
to some extent at points about one
third of the way from the center pier
and the lattice bars have undergone
considerable' deflection." says Murray
in his statement' .to Hoiman. "The
bottom cords at times being in com-
prestston, this is a very serious con-
dition if my observations are correct."
Forsythe said : "If Morrison bridge
were a railroad bridge it would be
closed to traffic in 10 minutes. A
similar buckling was observed in the
Quebec bridge, but before it could be
mads the bridge collapsed and 75 men
lost their Uvea
''I find that four prime members
have commenced to buckle and there
is evidence of a slight twist. The
buckling can be seen with the eye.
looking eastward from the center of
the draw span on the right-hand side.
The bridge is in a serious condition.
There- is some slight residue of
strength in the floor system, but that
is never counted upon in bridge con
struction. No one can tell how soon
the bridge will let go. It is not a
matter to be safely temporised with
as long as the bridge is being used
by the public. I cannot understand
why the recent heavy load of pave
ment was placed on the span without
some arrangement to strengthen it."

England Balks at
Court's Decision
On Liquor Ship
(By United Pre)
London, Sept. 23. Great Britain,
while desirious of cooperating with the
United States in suppressing -boose
smuggling along the American coast.
probably will refuse to recognize the
decision of the federal court at Boston
upholding the seizure of the British
schooner Grace and Ruby off Glou
cester.
The foreign office points out that
recognition of such a decision would
set a dangerous precedent, and a pro
test against the action is expected.
Government officials say that the
decision of the court was unfortunate,
as Great Britain is anxious to cooper
ate in the prevention of liquor smug
gling and is even willing to enter into
an informal arrangement with the
United States whereby interference
with rum runners even outside the
three mile limit would be "overlooked."
But the British government, officials
say, cannot consent to the formal es
tablishment of such a principle.
American Tariff
Measure Arouses
Anger in Britain
(Special Cable to The Journal and Chicago
Daily Nrm)
(Copyricht. 1922)
London, Sept. 23. The enactment
into law of the Fordney tariff bill
has aroused an undercurrent of bit
terness throughout all classes of Brit
ish newspaper a Whenever discussion
of the American' tariff takes place
there crop out references to the Brit
ish debt which is at present the most
serious obstacle to the nation's prog
ress. That the new tariff places a
stumbling block in the way of Brit
ain's repaying the debts to the United
States seems to be generally acknowl
edged, and probably will result in
early action by the British govern
ment, not as a reprisal, but as a mat
ter of necessity. For example, steps
may be taken to restrict rubber pro
duction, thus striking directly at one
of the greatest industries in the United
States.

U. S. Bond Issue

New York, Sept. 23. With the sol
dier bonus bill abandoned, financial
interests in Wall street expect the
government to take steps to refund
32,000,000,000 in bonds which mature
before January 1.

and mature in 10 years. Bankers
think such an issue could be floated
successfully some time next month as
the strain on credit due to the move
ment of crops would have passed and
bankers would be in a position to han
dle the bonds.

SENT TO PRISON
San Jose, CaL, Sept, 23- Phillip C.
Valentine, son of the late John C Val
entine,., millionaire president of the
Wells Fargo Express company, Friday
was "sentenced to" as indeterminate
term of years In San Quentln prison
on a charge of driving an automobile
while intoxicated. Superior Judge J. R.
Welch passed sentence upon Valentine
after first denying an impassioned plea
for probation. ' .
The Oakland youth pleaded guilty to
the charge against "-him. Early last

suing traffic officer, thawild ride end
ing when , his machine struck a car
driven by' George Boyer of this city,
who was aocompanied by Miss Miriam
Donald, a popular young schoolteacher
of San Jose.
Miss Donald, the evidence stated, suf
fered the amputation of her, right leg
and the mutilation of her right hand
as a result of the accident.
Attorneys representing Valentine
pleaded for probation on the strength
of their client's . war record and his
willingness to turn over to Miss Don
ald, his victim, the 123.000 which they
declared represents the youth s present
wealth. I --
Mrs. Joye Sherwood Valentine, di
minutive wife of the accused roan,
wept bitterly as she heard sentence
passed upon her husband. The Valen
tines have been separated but Phillip's
present trial effected a reconciliation.
The pretty, former moving picture act
ress rushed to her husband and threw
herself into his arms at the close of
the court ordeaJL
Valentine is 23 years old. He was ad
monished by the court to carry out his
offer of turning over his fortune to
Miss Donald. A suit for 3100,000 is
pending against Valentine filed by Miss
Donald as a result of the accident.
