CHARLES H. SHIELDS WILL
SPEAK TONIGHT IN ALBANY
Mayor Gilbert Will Officiate As
Chairman of Meeting at the
Courthouse Tonight.
Coming direct from a series of en
thusiastic meetings both in Coos May,
Southern Oregon and Kastern Ore
gon, where crowds of from 200 to
700 persons heard him discuss "Sin
gle Tax Kxposed" nightly, the meet
ing of Charles 11. Shields, secretary
of the Oregon hqual laxation League
to he held at the court house in Al
bany tonight at 8 p. in., promises to
he at tendril hy an unusually large
number of persons. The fact that
practically every person is interested
in the taxation he has to pay is a
factor that will tend to compel at
tendance.
The unusual feature of women be
ing invited to attend a political meet
ing is ex,citmg interest among the var
ious women's organizations as Mr
Shields has declared repeatedly that
he believes Single Tax and the Gradu
ated Single lax are measures in
which women are interested even
more (ban men.
"Single Tax aims a direct blow at
the preservation- of the home," he de
clared recently. "Single Tax would
topple the sanctity of the home just
as effectually as Socialism plans to
send it to the dust. ,
"It woidd confiscate both the home
and the lot, the farm and the or
chard, to Hie state, and if a tax
scheme that would do this does not
merit the attention of every woman in
Oregon, 1 am very much misinform
ed." The various women's organizations
in Portland have started studying the
Single Tax. measure and hope to hear
Mr. Shields on a future date. Mayor
P. D. Gilbert will be chairman.

over various kinds of pavement and
the residents on Ihird street linally
decided to try the concrete.

now, and barring bad weather, the
thoroughfare will probably be com

good start and the work is progress

ART DEFEATS HOME;
SINGER ASKS DIVORCE
Alma Gluck, Metropolitan
Prima Donna, Seeks to Drop
Plodding Husband.
New York, October 10. There was
a commotion today in artistic, musi
cal and dramatic circles following the
announcement that Mine. Alma Gluck,
the delightful soprano of the Metro
politan Opera House, had sued for
divorce. Friends, however, declared
that the action was not unexpected.
.Mnie. Gluck had never entered a
theater until she-was married. With
their baby girl, Abigail, she and her
husband, an insurance salesman, en
joyed a little heaven all their own.
But during the season of 1910, Mine.
Gluck, the loving matron of an up
town home, was "discovered" by the
operatic managers and "made" by
the critics. Fame pounced upon her
after the initial appearance at the new
theater in the role of Sophie in Mas
senet's "Werthetr."
For almost a year the young wife
and mother, who was also the famed
"artiste," struggled between dual
loves, the stage and the home. But
it appears that the plodding husband
did not fit into the new order of
things.
Friends say the couple simply drift
ed apart as if by some tacit under
standing. There was nothing abrupt.
No shock of that sort was given to
the intense artistic spirit of Mnie.
Gluck. But the separation was not
iced just as much in the Metropolitan
circles as 'if the courts had decreed it
last winter.
Today when asked about it in St.
Louis, Mnie. Gluck would not give
a decided answer. She thought that
Gluck should tell the story. But in
New York it was the talk among her
friends.
