THE MORNING OBEGOXIA2?. SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1903. BOYCOTT ON PARADE Unions Send Ultimatum to Reception Committee. HO MUSIC OR CARRIAGES Erection f Monument Stand by JTon union Men CaHses Thrcat--CoBa-aaittee Will Seek Peace Xot Enoogh Carriages. Unless' the stand from which President !RooseVelt Is to speak Is erected by union labor no member of a labor union will take part In the parade In honor of the .executive. j: This ultimatum has been served on the Presidential reception committee, and It has been made plain to the members that all union bands and union carriage driv ers will be forbidden to take part In the demonstration. If such a programme were carried out, no music save that fur nished by outside nonunion bands would be provided, and volunteers would have pi drive the 30 or more carriages In line. The representatives of the labor unions Interested in the fight served notice on Mayor George H. "Williams, chairman of the general committee on the President's reception, to the effect that they would hold aloof from the demonstration If an "unfair" stand was erected. Mayor "Will iams promptly turned the matter over to the committee on details of programme, and this furnished the chief topic of an executive session held in the Commercial Clubrooms last evening. The question was discussed at some Jength, and It was generally conceded this ultimatum threatened the success of the Presidential parade. "Without music and carriage drivers the parade would lose many of its attractive features, and it was determined that an effort should be made to conciliate the unions. Committee on Conciliation. John H. Hall, United States District At torney; F. E. Beach, president of the Board of Trade, and Judge "W. M. Cake, president of the Commercial Club, were named as a special committee to confer with the union leaders and endeavor to ef fect an understanding. The Presidential reception committee is 3n a delicate position In regard to the ultimatum of the unions. The stand has been contracted for by the Lewis and Clark committee, and Its erection is a matter that is of no great concern, under ordinary circumstances, to the commit tee in charge of the President's recep tion. The ceremonies at the City Park are not under the control of the general committee, and nothing save the matter of the parade and entertainment of the President after his speech at the Park has been considered by the general com mittee. . , It was urged lost night that the Presi dential reception committee had no au thority to interfere with the Lewis and Clark arrangements for the demonstration at the City Park, and that the fight be tween the contractor and union leaders over the erection of the President's stand should be settled by the Lewis and Clark directors rather than the general com mittee. The special committee was named, however, to do whatever it could toward reaching an understanding. No idea of abandoning the parade, un der any circumstances, has been enter tained by tho Presidential reception com mittee. The members of the committee are confident that the pageant will be a feat vre of the entertainment of President Koosevelt, and that it, will be successfully handled. Arranging the Detail. Do tails for tho parade were discussed to some extent, but, as there were some questions of minor Importance relative to the make-up of the line, the matter was left in the hands of General Charles F. Boebe, grand marshal. "Word was received by the committee that the students be longing to the Corvallls Agricultural Col lege would enter the parade, and Marshal Beebo was instructed to give them a place. Beyond determining the fact that Gov ernor Chamberlain and Mayor Williams would ride in the first carriage with the President and his private secretary, not much -was accomplished relative to the distribution of places among the carriages. A present the committee has 30 carriages engaged and a list of names long enough to indicate that twice that number could be filled. There are many Invited guests of the Lewis and Clark Fair directors who will probably be unable to attend the cere monies, so Until definite answers have been obtained the detail of the pro gramme committee cannot fill out its list. The matter, after a desultory discussion, -went over -until Monday night. 6PAXISH "fVAIt. VETERAN'S TO J OIX. General Orders for Three Multnomah County Crimps. The three camps of Spanish-American "War Veterans In Multnomah County Hampton, Harrington and Gilbert have been ordered to Join in tho parade In honor of President Roosevelt next Thurs day. The following general orders give the arrangements for their participation In the parade: "Spanish-American "War Veterans. De partment of Oregon, Portland. Or., Mai' 15, 1903. General Orders, No. 1. Camps Hamnton. Harrington and Gilbert, Span ish-American "War Veterans, Department of Oregon, will report Thursday, May ZL. 1S03, for parade in honor of the President of tho United States, in the pars: diock opposite the new Custom-House, Assem bly will be sounded at 1 o'clock P. M. .sharp. "The council of administration will re port to General O. Summers, who will be In command of the Spanish-American "War Veterans on the occasion mentioned, and camp commanders will report to the Department Adjutant. "The uniform unanimously adopted at the mass meeting of March 18, 1903, will be worn campaign hat, blue shirt, khaki trousers, leggings, belt and black four-in-hand tie. Tho habitual formation during The parade will bo column of platoops of 12flle front, single rank. "Such camps of the department as are not stationed in Multnomah County will, it' possible, send delegates to participate In the parade. All veterans of the Span ish War, whether members of the de partment of not, are cordially invited to Join in the parade in the uniform pre scribed. By order of "a U. GANTENBEIN, 'Department Commander. "JOSIAH KEMP, Adjutant" (OfilciaL) ALASKANS TO GIVE GREETING. Will Assemble in Force at Seattle and. "Welcome President. Alaskans are preparing to receive Presi dent. Roosevelt in a body. Arrangements have been made by the reception commit tee in Seattle and the Alaska executive committee and sanctioned by the Presi dent. Full a steamer-load of Alaskans is expected to come down for the occa sion, while a number of those who count themselves Alaskans will come from all over the Northwest. Members of the Arc tic Brotherhood will attend in force. The President will be presented with a gold pan, the emblem of the order. President Roosevelt will leave Seattle on the afternoon of Saturday, May 23, for Everett, going by steamer,, and will re turn late in the evening. Alaskans, offi cially and individually, will receive him at the dock and take him to the Grand Opera-House, which will be decorated under their direction. Here the majority of the Alaskans will be seated prior to his arrival. It is expected that Governor Brady, who has been Invited, will attend with t)ther prominent citizens. The Presi dent will address the Alaskans and be presented with an Invitation to visit Alas ka at some future time. The people of Alaska are somewhat disaDDOinted at the failure of their efforts to get the Chief Executive into their territory, but they are making the best of the situation. After the reception the Alaskans will es cort him to his hotel. The executive committee which has made these arrangements is the one se lected at a general meeting of Alaskans held in Seattle about April 1. The pro ject of having the President receive them was decided upon, the invitation sent and his acquiescence gained. The executive committee now asks all Alaskans to be present at the reception. Members of the Portland reception com mittee have received letters from R. S. Ryan, the secretary of the committee, ask ing them to notify Alaskans in Portland. -TIME SCHEDULE OF TRAIN. Southern Pacific "Warns Officials to Guard. Agralnst Sanger. Superintendent Fields, of the Southern Pacific, has issued the schedule for the President's train on the' Southern Pacific lines north of Dunsmulr. Coincident with this he has also issued instructions to trainmen and all other officials for guard ing against all possible danger from ac cidents and for maintaining the schedule. The tracks of the company are to be thoroughly inspected; the President's spe- CHANCES 3 TO 1 THAT MAY 21 "WILL BE A FAIR DAY. As the day of the President's visit ap proaches, people are naturally wonder ing what kind of weather we will have on the 21st. Forecast Official Beals, of the Portland weather office, has been digging: UP the musty rec ords of his establishment, trying to solve the question. His Instru ments and scientific theories only allow him to forecast the weather with more or less accuracy for about 30 hours In advance, so In making a guess at this early day, he Is forced to rely upon averages. As weather con ditions are apt to repeat themselves somewhat, he has gone hack and re viewed the state of the weather on each May 21 since 1872. This record of 31 years shows that on eight of the days there was sufficient rainfall to In terfere with outdoor exercises, which, according to the law of averages, would moke the chances about 3 to 1 favor able for a fair day when the President comes to town. The temperature aver age on each May 21 in the period re vlewed has been 67 degrees in the aft ernoon and 48 degrees at night. The state of weather has averaged clear to partly cloudy, and the prevailing wind h&a been from tho Northwest. clal will be given the right of way, all other trains kept off the main track at the times when the President's train is due, and every precaution will be taken against encountering danger.

Arrangements were made with the Southern Pacific yesterday for bringing 300 students from the Corvallls Agricul tural College to Portland during the President's visit on May 2L The nego tiations with General Passenger Agent "W. E. Coman resulted satisfactory to the col- lego officials, and it is expected the en tire number of students belonging to the military organization win be here to take part in the parade. The Southern Pacific has also made ar rangements for hauling the various uni formed camps of "Woodmen residing in tho Valley, and is making every possible prep aration for handling an unusually large crowd of excursionists from "Willamette Valley points. Colored Citizens to Be In Line-. The colored citizens of the city are showlntr enthusiasm over the mans to turn out a representative number for the President's parade. Already over 150 have manifested their Intention of being en rolled In the division, and it is certain that even a larger number will march in the parade. At a recent meeting w. I. Brady was chosen commander of the division. The marchers will wear citizens' clothes and wear a Roosevelt badge that has been designed for the occasion. LADIES' COATS For Summer "Wear. Our own make.
