HAMILTON IS COMING SOON Fair aqd Livestock Association Ad vertises Date Broadcast Four Machines to Be Entered' by Local Men. That the aviation meet to be held In Portland March 5, 6 and 7 will be second only to the International contests held in Lew Angeles January 10-20 ia the asser tion of the men behind the Portland fair and Livestock Association event. "Rush" Is the order of the day among the promoters. Telegrams are being sent all over the country, negotiating with world-famous aviators; local "bird-men" are busy arranging for the event; adver tising orders are being placed; confer ences are being held with railroad offi cials and a general "hurry-up" enthu siasm is surcharging the very at mosphere. Headquarters were established yesterday in the Oregon Hotel on the second floor. Stenographers, messengers and clerks have been employed and the two tele phones are working overtime. D. O. Lively, manager of the Union Stockyards, who was selected some time ago to manage the Portland livestock and industrial fair of the' Portland Fair and Livestock Exposition next September, is in charge. Mr. Lively has had long ex perience in the management of various shows of a public nature and he is put ting all of his energy and Ingenuity into the aviation meet here to make It "one big, grand success." Railroads Cut Rates. Negotiations were closed yesterday with all railroads entering Portland, whereby a round-trip fare of one and one-half will prevail during the meet. The O. R. & N. officials have signified a willingness to put on a 100-coach train to accommodate visitors to the fairgrounds. The track runs in the vicinity and this will be of great aid in transporting the crowds. It is expected that during the meet no less than 50.000 persons will come to Port land In the three days of' the meet. Rush orders were placed yesterday for railroad posters, which will be placed along the lines of the several roads and literally cover every Inch of available board space In towns within a radius of 100 miles of the city. Charles K. Hamilton, holder of the world's low-speed record, won at Los Angeles In a Curtiss biplane, now owned by E. Henry Wemme, of Portland, will be the big drawing card of the event. Hamilton is now In Arizona. A tele gram was received from him yesterday, saying he will leave Douglas, Ariz., for Portland February 27. This will bring him here several days before the meet and afford plenty of time to assemble his two hugs airships and Inspect the race course where the flights are to be made. Flight Dally Demanded. One stipulation of the contract with Hamilton is that he must make three flights one each day. He will attempt to break three of the world's records for fast time, slow time and altitude. As he already holds the slow-time rew ord, said to be the most difficult record to make, the lowering of that is not considered of great importance. The altitude record, now held by Paulhan, the French aviator, who at Los Angeles reached a distance of 4300 feet from the earth, it is believed will be broken here. The atmosphere at great altitudes around Portland is sufficiently far removed from the sea and yet low enough to do away with the air currents prevailing along the coast, which interfered greatly with the contestants at Los Angeles. Local Machined to Fly. Four local machines will be entered In the contests. Three of these have already been tried, while the third, made In Portland by J. C. Burkhardt, a young mechanic, who gained consid erable fame in the East a year ago, will be tried here for the first time. This ' machine, though only partially completed, was exhibited, at the recent automobile show at the' Armory. The Curtiss biplane, owned by E. Henry Wemme, is being exhibited in Seattle. J. K. Arnold, selected by Mr. "Wemme as manager of the exhibition for the benefit of the Portland-Mount Hood road fund, is arranging to bring the machine here. It is probable that Howard M. Covey, a well-known local automobile dealer, will drive the ma chine. Mr. Covey went to Los Angeles for the purpose of learning how to op erate It, and is confident he will have little difficulty In accomplishing the feat. Jack Manning, a former automobile man, yesterday announced the pur chase of two machines. He would not give the make of either, but said they are en route here. One is expected to arrive today. Both will be entered in th,e meet. CIGAR SHOPS SHUT SUNDAY Eugene Council Votes Unanimously to Close Stores.' EUGENE! Or., Feb. 23. Opecial.)

Her Children Madame Schumann-Heink's Joy Famous Singer Never Tires of Talking About Her Sons and Daughters, and All Her Plans Are for Them. BY LEONE CASS BAER. OUTSliLna tne snownaices scurriea past the window like myriads of wee white birds, and the cold gray of February late afternoon was closing down. Inside reigned Joy incarnate and warmth and love, all embodied in the person of Madame Ernistine Schumann- Heink. Had the setting been other than the modem ornateness of a hotel apartment, I could have fancied that a dear German haus-frau had taken time from her precious household duties to tell me of herself and her children. She is most intensely human, absolutely natural and unpretentious this gifted woman with the angel voice and the earth-mother heart. Most famous artistes have either maners or manerisms, but Schumann Heink, adored by everybody, is so truly charming, so wholesome, and withal so tenderl yand sanely womanly that one forgets the singer and sees only the wonderful soul of the woman and mother. She wore a plain litye brown sweater Jacket over her lacey white blouse both of which fitted her affectionately. ,Her ligure is ample In every direction, but her hands and feet are beautifully small and well formed. Her cheeks are like russet colored apples, a fine wholesome color, and look as if they were made to be kissed. And her eyes truly windows of the sour are these great golden brown orbs. There is a crinkle in the corners when she laughs and that is most of the time and again they melt into brooding tenderness when she speaks of her children. "Everyone wants to know of my chil dren," she cried in pleased tones. "And I know of nothing about which I would rather tell you." First, there is George Washington Heink, aged 11. "Oh he is a dear," gurgled the delicious contralto of Mad ame, who struggled violently with her English. "When he came to me, such a tiny, beautiful little fellow, I felt that my cup of Joy was indeed full and flowing over. Six weeks before his advent I had received oh, such honors, such recognition. In my first appearance In 'Lohengrin.' The doctor said to me, 'Now, you have had such wonderful success in America, such an ovation from the people here, that you should give your little son an Ameri can name." At that time I knew so lit tle of your country's big history, but I was so happy, so thankful in my success, and I say to myself, 'I have a little American boy, so I ask the friends I have, 'Tell me who is your greatest American?' and they answer, 'George Washington.' "So I name my little boy for this great man, to show my appreciation and love for the Americans. But for' a long time I could not understand how my son could take the family name of Washington. In Germany it would be almost Impossible to use a family name as any part of a given name, and only when the consent of the owners of the name is procured. "Over there now, they do not rec ognize the Washington portion of my George's name. But that is his name certainly. Oh, he is an American. All my children are what you call it hustlers hurry up quick people. They are true Americans. And, oh, I am proud, proud." Tears glinted in the warmth of the fascinating eyes of Madame. "My George, he sings all the time, and plays; you should hear him. It is all by ear. He sits at the piano and makes music out of his head. It is very good music, too. And he sings most "Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light,' " and here Madame threw her arms wide in a dramatic gesture and the wonderful contralto that the world bows in reverence to burst Into glory and filled the room as she sang a bit of "George's" favorite song. Marie Is another of Madame's treas ures. "A-a-h," breathed the mother, "there is no one so like my Marie. Un derstand," she quickly defended, "it Is not that they are my children that they are wonderful to me, ah, no but it is perhaps that my children have gone with me through so much sorrow and trouble, they know themselves of the privations and struggles, and I keep it before them to remember. "And they are, oh, so sympathetic, so loving, so kind, my children. They are so much alone, too," mused the mother voice of her, "poor souls; each teaches and educates the other. I am educat ing them for the absolutely simple life. There is only one child-time. I tell them, though, always, of what I have gone through and let them know that Hf Is not all sunshine and rose-time. Often then I wonder should I tell them, and I feel sorry that they know too much of the shadows, but next I think it is good that they should know, for then the future cannot hold so many surprises for them." On Madame's desk two photographed faces smiled back at us. f'This is a new picture of George Washington," said his mother, a she handed over the pictured countenance of a round-faced ROSES OF NATIONS GIVEN TO PORTLAND Despite Wintry Weather, City Park" Exercises Carried Out as Planned. GOOD WISHES BROUGHT Representatives of Nine Govern ments in Setting Out Bushes From Their Countries Show Interest in Rose Festival. Rose-planting exercises of the Portland Rose Society were held at the. City Park yesterday afternoon in spite of the snow and the cold. At 1:30 o'clock the auto mobiles which were to take the partici pants In the annuel event to the park assembled at the Oregon Hotel, leaving soon after, and at 2 o'clock Rosebrook's band opened the ceremonies with patri otic airs. The two most prominent features of the ceremony were the reading of Car dinal Gibbons' blessing of the roses by Father E. V. O'Hara, and the address of Japanese Vice-Consul Numano, who presented to the city a huge bundle of 170 Japanese roses. The representatives of eight other nations Joined In the ex ercises. Cardinal Gibbons' blessing was sent at the request of.Archbishop Christie, who appointed Father O'Hara to read It, and is as follows: Baltimore, Md., Feb. 21. Most Reverend A. Christie, Archbishop of Oregon Most willingly do I send my blessings upon the roses of all countries to be planted under the auspices of the Portland Rose Society. r : - .1' - i MADAME ERKEST1XE smiling lad, whose brow and eyes were like her own. "And this is Marie." The photo showed a slender girl, with patiTHan features 4lnd exquisite poise, with already a womanly bearing in her youthful body, and a serious, contem plative expression in the sweet face. My Marie, she is the mother to George Washington," beamed Madame. "She commands him In all. Sometimes he obeys oftener not. ,But she is my sunshine, my .light. Ah, how we love each other, my girl and I. She is a natural-born leader, and Is always good, always giving of herself to make others happy, and loving me ah, so much. Her voice is a beautiful one but she will have none of the singing no, she says to me: 'Mamma, when you are through with the singing then you will need someone to caress you, to love you more, tobe to you the daugh ter. .Then when you need me I will be there. If I am a singer I must be away from you at the concert, sing ing always when you will be calling for Marie.' " "No, she will not sing, my Marie, al though she has a natural and wonderful voice. She has the sense of pitch in herited. When sria was a wee thing if the chandelier pendants would so much as tinkle, away would run Marie to find that note on the piano. And find it. too, she did. each time. Marie and George Washington ride on their horses to school, one half hour ride it is. All my children have gone to the public schools. Where our home Is it is often bitter cold, but Marie rides until she is stiff and cold and blue, and laughs at me when I say she will be sick. Oh, no, she Is never sick. She grooms her horses, too. and cleans the stable always. She is a per fect horsewoman. Both for her and for little George Washington I purchased in Texas, the cowboy saddles. They are safest." said Madame earnestly. With Marie and George lives Walter. who is 21 and is in the life insurance Duslness In New York. Ferdinand, be tween .Walter and Marie, is in a Jesuit school, at Fordham. N. T. "Ferdinand is an inventor," said Ma-4 dame, proudly.

JAMBS CARDINAL, GIBBONS. McArthur Gives State's Welcome. Governor Benson was to have been -one of the speakers, but finding it Impossible to be present, he sent his private secre tary, C. N. McArthur, who welcomed on behalf of Oregon the representatives of the nations, and oxpressed his pleasure that they were interested In Portland's growth and the success of the Rose Fes tival in June. Rose-cuttingB presented to Portland by the various nations were' then planted. James Laldlaw, representing Great Brit ain, was the first to speak. Representa tives of the other powers followed. They were; Moy Back Hin, China; Yasaturo Numano, Japan; Endre M. Cederbergh, Norway; J. W. Matthes, Netherlands; Valdemar Lidell. Sweden; C. Henri Labbe, France; Frank H. Ritter, repre senting Oswald Lohan, Germany, and M. G. Montreiza, representing Charles F. Candiani, Italy. Japan Sends Kind Greetings. Vloe-Consnl Numano said: It affords me Infinite pleasure that I am to be the medium of conveying to you the united expression of cordial greetings from the Jand of the Rising Sun. On behalf of the municipality of the City of Yokohama, I have been requested to tender to the Cty of Portland. 170 Japanese roses, as a token of their friendly respect and genuine good will. What we offer you may be a rather poor symbol of our kindly sentiments, tout we know you will receive It as an indica tion of our unalloyed esteem and friendship. To say nothing of the Intrinsic value of the roses, which traveled on water over 3000 miles, the fragrant scent and charming col ors, which will delight the citizens of Port land In the blooming season, seem to be the most appropriate tribute trom their sincere friends on the other shores of the Pacific Ocean. f Mr. Cederbergh said: . When I was honored with an invitation, to participate in . this international rose planting exercise. I accepted the same offi cially, and therefore shall read ai letter of approval from the Norwegian government: "The Foreign Office having been advised of your proposed participation in behalf of Norway in the Rose Festival to be held in Portland on the 22d Inst., I have been re quested ty our Minister of Foreign Affairs to express to you his sincere sympathy with your action, which has his full ap proval.

"They are in an opera, the " 'Three Twins," " said Madame, "but they will soon be on my ranch in California. Hans has a beautiful voice, but he has no patience; he will not study. He is a dear, lovable boy, but he has not the will power to make a great singer. No, he has not the ambition, to pay with his heart's blood, as have I. "Henri is 34, and Hans is 22. I shall put them later on my farm, and let them be Independent. I must tell you," and here madame laughed aloud and clutched my flying pencil, "I must tell you of Hans. Three years ago he ran away with the soldiers, to be a regular one, you know. And I buyed him out. I was so afraid he would go to the Philippines, and so I buyed him out. He is a nice, lovely boy, and oh, he is an American. He gave me his uniform to keep for him. I have it locked -tight away where only he and I know. We love It, the shiny buttons, and the pretty colors." Madame'B elist son, August, is first officer on one of the Hamburg-American line ships. "He is a sailor," said Madame, fondly. "No, he is first officer," interposed Madame's husband, Herr Happ, who was present. The eldest daughter is Lottie, who Is married and lives In Dresden. August has two children and Lottie has three, so Madame is a grandmother five times. , Madame showed me a letter from Marie, written .In a round, schoolgirl hand, and Inclosing a newspaper clip ping relative to Madame's orange grove. "I am sending you this clip ping," a bit of the letter read, "so that you may read It and inform us out in poor, little Caldwell how much of it is true and how much of, it is bluff. Ex cuse that terrible slang, but I couldn't get a Word In a hurry to take its place." The ranch is a recent purchase made by Madame Schumann-Helnk. In San Diego County she bought 600 acres, for which she paid $20,000. She does not Intend to retire and be a farmer, but, as she says. "It shall be a home for the children." sons of Norway sfaould love this country next to their own fatherland. History re cords that In the year looo the Norwegian vikings with Lelf Erikson as leader and 31 men set out to explore land In the west which they discovered, landing on the coast of 'Massachusetts. History tells us that they brought the germ of liberty with them, which budded In England in the Magna Oharta and Bill of Rights, and in course of time was carried across the seas In the "Mayflower"' to America and attained its full growth and bloom in the Declaration of Independence and its ripest fruits in the Constitution of the United States. Hun dreds of thousands of the sons of Norway are located in this country and they have prospered well. They did not bring with Lthem millions, - but they brought what -was Better gooa citizensnip ana strong arms, thereby assisting in making this country what it is. Honorable Mayor, I have now the pleas ure on toehalf of Norway to present these rose trees through you to the City of Port land. - a city known all over the world as the "City of Roses." and may these roses grow, prosper and bloom as the sons of Nor way have prospered In this, their adopted country. Mayor Simon thanked, the representa tives of the various governments for the Interest they had taken In the rose planting. Dr. Emmet Drake, president of the Rose Society, in making the opening address, said after a brief eulogy of George Wash ington: Dr. Drake Thanks Nations. On this, the 168th anniversary of Wash ington's birth, we have not only the repre sentatives of the progressive "governments of Europe, but the representatives of the highest civilization of the Orient all contributing- perfected varieties of perpetual blooming and fragrant roses, the very best these countries produce. On behalf of the Portland Rose Festival Association and the Portland Rose Society, I sincerely thank you and the governments you represent for your great assistance In inus eany preparing lor our next Rose Fes tival.

ASSEMBLY CULL PLEASES VOTERS From All Sides Come Expres sions of Satisfaction With New. Plan. ONLY DEMOCRATS OBJECT Visitors From Tillamook and -New. berg Voice Opinion That Assem bly Is Only Means of Effec- tive Party Action. From every section of the state come testimonials of satisfaction among Republicans with the action of the State Central Committee in for mulating plans for a state assembly. Among out-of-town Republicans sub scribing to this general verdict yester day were H. T. Botts, of Tillamook, and Professor W. W. Wiley, of New berg. "The people of Tillamook County are in hearty accord with the assembly plan as recommended by the State Committee." said Mr. Botts. "rrhey have' long wished for some plan by which the party might be enabled to establish effectual reorganization, and elect its candidates. In the assembly which has been provided the Republicans of my section of the state believe they see success for their efforts in that direc tion. We are thoroughly satisfied." rrhe action of the State Committee and Its recommendation as to assem blies," said Professor Wiley at the Im perial yesterday, "meet with the ap probation of Yamhill County Republi cans. What we wanted was a large and representative assembly. Such a gathering has been provided. The se lection of E- V. Lltlefleld as secretary of the State Committee has served in a large measure to popularize the assem bly plan in our district. Judge Little field Is a former resident of Yamhill County and we know something of his sterling worth as a Republican. The only opposition to the assembly move ment, as far as I have been able to learn In our county, comes from the editors of two small Democratic papers. That opposition, of course, was ex pected. The Republican .voters have no objections to offer." SHILLOCK OUT FOR JUDGESHIP John C. Shlllock announced yesterday that he would be a candidate for the Re publican nomination for County Judge of Multnomah County before the Republican assembly next Summer. Furthermore, Mr. Shlllock agrees to abide by the choice of the assembly. Attorney Shlllock was a candidate for appointment as successor to Judge Web ster, who resigned last Saturday, relying on the assurance of Governor Benson that he would be named to succeed Webster. Replying to the published interview from Governor Benson yesterday. In which the Governor declared that neither he nor his friends had ever promised Shlllock the appointment as Webster's successor, Mr. Shlllock declined to make any an nouncement. Mr. Shlllock said that later in the campaign he, in all probability, would have something definite to say, supported by affidavits if necessary, to show the nature of the understanding he had with Governor Benson concerning the Multnomah County Judgeship several months before T. J. Cleeton was named for the place. The announcement of Mr. Shlllock's candidacy for the county Judgeship, as issued yesterday, was: Yes, sir, I will go into the assembly, ask for the nomination as County Judge of this ST.

I will abide by their choice, vote for. sup port and do my best to elect the assembly's choice. Xor are these sentiments new to me. Some time ago when I had every reason to believe that I would succeed Judne Webster, reasons which I will not discuss now but may present them to the assembly, if they will aid its deliberations in any way in the election of tit candidates candidates who have at least some regard for the spoken word to an old and loyal friend now bed ridden and too weak physically to enter controversy I always stated that I favored thy assembly. While much has been said In public and in the press as to the ad visability of an assembly I have never hesi tated to state frankly that I could see no other way to fret at the -expressed will of tne majority of the people except through their honest and Intelligent representatives In assembly convened. If I had any doubts at all In this matter, the present adminis tration of the City of Portland would en lighten me or any other man who has the sincere welfare of the city at heart.
