ANOTHER SAY ON ORDINANCE
Ask Numerous Questions and
Among Otters That Mayor

Kdilor Democrat. As the new or
dinance controlling the trade of sec
ond hand stores seems to have as
sumed an interesting attitude in pub
lic prims, we deem it fair to answer
I he 'interpretation recently published
in your paper emanating from the city
attorney, Victor Ollivcr.
i We may regret to publicly acknowl
edge our ignorance of the English
language but if Attorney Ollivcr's
statements as to the meauiug of the
ordinance he saya he wrote ia a,cor
rcct interpretation, we must confess
our early training in school has been
very defective. We quote Mr. Ollivcr
verbatim as appearing in the Demo
crat: The merchants who deal in
second hand goods evidently do not
understand the ordinance. There is
no license attached to the ordinance
n the books regulating and licensing
this class of business. The ordinance
was written by myself."
The ordinance as passed is report
ed as follows: Hereafter each junk
or second hand dealer or pawn broker
will be required to obtain a license,
and to keep a record of every article
taken in or sold, the time of day, the
description of the person selling
same, etc., where not bought from an
established wholesale l ouse, manufac
turer or from any person doing busi
ness in an established place in the
city. A fine of from $5 to $25 or not
more than 50 days imprisonment is
imposed for the violation of this or
dinance." Attorney Ollivcr says-"There is no
license attached to this ordinance.
Please inform us what the fine of
from $5 to $25 or 50 days imprison

the second hand dealer will be re
quired to take out n license or be
fined or imprisoned? Is it possible
we arc so densely ignorant wc can't
interpret such plain statements? For
such ignorant persons as Attorney
Olliver assumes wc arc it might be
safe for a special school to be opened
in Albany that can prove to the sim

that a $25 fine don't have any meaning
at all, and thttf 50 days in jiul means
the freedom of the city ia turned over

Germans Penetrated French

Losing Ground.
PRACTICALLY NO ADVAN

French Claim Small Captures
of 120 and 20 German
Prisoners.
(By United Press)
Paris, April 21. Following a heavy
bombardment, the Germans last night
powerfully attacked between Thaiu-
Suont and Vaux and south of Douau-
mont, where ihcy penetrated the
French lines. Counter attacks drove

guns. It is alleged the I'rench ad

French captured a trench on the edge
of Cauretle Wood, taking 150 prison

south of Haudremont and wounded

We hope the mayor will veto Attor

ALBANY GOING AFTER
QUEEN HONORS HARD
Many Events Planned to Raise

For Queen.
To raise money to buy votes for
Miss Marion Anderson, Albany's can
didate for queen of the Portland Rose
Festival, a scries of entertainments
and other events will be given in the

The latest to be announced is a
play to be given by Albany people
under the direction of James W. Mott,
of New York City, a professional act
or who is visiting his parents. Dr. and
Mrs. W. H. Mott, of Salem. An in
cresting incident in connection with
Mr. Mott is the fact that he played a
part in the licnnet play. "Damaged
Goods" when it was first produced in
New York. Mr. Mott docs not appear
in the moving picture cast which will
be seen at the Rolfc tonight, how
ever. ' Mr. Mott is a young man. hut has
had a wide experience in professional
dramatics, and as a director of ama
teur theatricals he had made a de
cided success. "The Fortune Hunter"
which will be given here, has been
staged at Eugene and Salem under
his dircctioin with great success, and
in Salem he has put on "Brown of
Harvard." "Arizona." and other well
known plays, all of which have been
enthusiastically received.
The date for the presentation of
"The Fortune Hunter" has not been
set as yet, but the cast has been most
ly selected and rehearsals will begin
at once.
Another playlet will be presented
by local talent at one of the motion
picture shows following the larger
play. This is a skit entitled "Albany
on Wheels," which was written by an
Albany man and abounds in good hu
mor and witty cracks.
It is understood that the Albany
band will also give a dance for the
benefit of the, queen, and several of
the "prominent society ladies of the
city will give a series of 10 cents for
the purpose of raising vote money.
Every effort will be made to keep
Miss Anderson's name near the top
and to make it head the list at the
finish. Manager Eastburn, of the
Commercial club, calls attention to
the newspaper coupons and requests
everybody to save theirs.

prohibiting aviators from flying over
cities, barring American expedition

flew toward San Antonio. Resentment
of the soldiers and populace against
the continued presence of the expe
dition has become so general, Carran
zistas declared they will be unable to
control the people unless the troops
are withdrawn. Consul Letcher re
ported the fight at Parral not an iso

HOTEL MEN BOOST FOR
BETTER ROADS -IN OREGON
Convention in Eugene Passed
Strong Resolution; B. R.
Westbrook Took Part.
B. R. Westbrook, of the Hotel Al
bany, returned yesterday evening
from Eugene, where he attended the
convcntioin of hotel men, an enthusi
astic affair, with some good results.
Good roads was a prominent theme,
resulting in a strong resolution in fa
vor of constructive legislation that
will lead to the early building and
maintenance at state expense, of the
main trunk highways of the state, so
located that commercial and latteral
highways can readily and to best ad
vantage connect with it, with such
legislation as shall enable the differ
ent counties to expeditiously and eco
nomically lateral highways, so that
the products of the farm may be
cheaply transported to market and of
fered tor use in the best conditioin
possible to the mutual advantage of
producer and consumer.
Mr. Westbrook was down on the
program, and the Register says:
B. R. Westbrook, of the Hotel Al
bany, at Albany, succeeded in getting
action on a matter of all valley hotels
making a uniform charge of five cents
for telephone calls within the city.
The secretary was instructed to send
blank agreements to all hotel men
outside of Portland on this subject, al
so as to charging bus fare to and from
the trains. This is to be 10 cents. A
lobby card will thus be printed, sign
ed by the hotel association, authoriz
ing the charge.

TOTAL REGISTRATION FIGURES
COMPILED BY CLERK
Both Republican and Demo
cratic Parties Show Gains
This Year.
The total registration in Linn coun
ty for the primary election was com
piled by County Clerk R. M. Russell
today and shows'that this year's pri
mary election will have a larger list
of registered voters than registered in
the primaries for 1914. With the pos
sible exception that a few cards may
still be in the hands of sub-registers
the total count shows 8972 registered
as compared with 8391 in 1914. This
is far better than was expected a few
days before the close of the registra
tion books, and means that in the
general election in November this list
will be brought up to the 12.000 mark.
There were 5386 men registered and
3586 women. The Republicans regis
tered 5302 and the Democratic party
2850. There are 301 Prohis. 20 Pro
gressives, 1S8 Socialists, 258 Inde
pendents, 37 refused to state party and
16 registered in miscellaneous parties.
This year the Republican party
shows a gain of 62 members over 1914
and the Democratic party a pain of
112. The Progreisivcs lost 72 this year
and the Socialists lost 65.
'An Odd Coincidence
In 1909 F. M. Redfield gave a check
'for $12.70 to Foshay and Mason in
payment for a bill of goods. Yester
day a man named Rose was looking
around in the vacant land below the
Jewish cemetery where the city dupm
pile is located and came across this
same piece of paper. It had never
been endorsed, but the hole made by
the three .cornered bill file in the
hank was there. No other stamp or
sign that the check had ever been
cashed was visible. Mr. Rose took
the check to Mason's and it was tak
en to the Cusick bank, on which it
had been drawn. The bank record
shows that it was paid. But how it
ever got to the city dump pile, or why
no other marks are on the check is
sued so long ago arc mysteries that
can never be solved.

U. D. PROFESSOR
TALKS
He Says II Is a Part of One's
Education As Much As
Anything Else.
NOT INHERITANCE, BUT
SOMETHING TO BE LEARNED
The Progress of Music From
the First Sounds Reads
Like a Story.
That mus. is a part of education,
was the statement of Prof. J. J.
Landsbury, of the U. O., in his library
lecture Irst night, on "What Is Music
Made of, and How is it Made?" Mu
sic is something for everybody, he
said. It is not tied up in a package.
It isn't just born In one. It has to be
put into a person, learned. This has
reference merely to sn understanding
and appreaciation of it, regardless of
its execution.' - '
With illustrations the professor
showed, how music has been built up
into the wonderful compositions of
the world. Starting with mere sounds
they were gradually put together and
combined, and with the motif idea he
told the story of music, its 0ri3in.1l
language and its development. This
was done with some pretty illustra
tions with a piano by his side. The
same law prevails in the progress of
music as in everything else. '
Things first condemned are not es
tablished and a part of music, and the
development has brought the sonata,
concerta. symphony, etc. In music, as
in other things, it is not the material,
but what you do with it. Whether
maife-loiiaiin'rng''iets'(bEr' is the
same "tMnk-box'." "The development
of emotion is a part of education,' and
the world needs good listeners as well
as those who execute. '
' Ah expert piano player Prof. Lands
bury along the way of his lecture gave
illustrations ol a striking 'character,
and no one could hear him without
being impressed and having; a better
understanding of how music has been
made and developed through the ages,
and that anyone can cultivate a taste
for it. and does not have to have it
born into one. '
So greatly wns the audience pleased
with the offering the professor has
been asked to give mother lecture
covering the subjective side of the
subject. ..-" : 5
