Charity veiled as the Follies" of the Portland Theater Managers' As sociation crowding the Heillgr Theater Thursday night the first thought of the actor-showmen was that a new call on the. benevolence of residents of the city night raise a fund equally as large in aid of the flood sufferers of Ohio and Indiana. The suggestion met instant approval, announcement was made that the Fol lies in ail their grandeur wonld be re peated tonight, the ticket rack of the Heilig was refilled for another worthy cause and before the laughter over "East Lynne" had subsided the clink of gold in the Heilig boxofflce bore the message that Portland's theatergoers were emptying their pockets to help the afflicted states. In a special meeting yesterday it was decided by the theater managers to re peat the "Follies" in ail their original entirety at the Heilig tonight and mat very cent garnered by the benefit per formance would be turned over to the C'baniLer of Commerce in aid of the flood and fire-stricken cities of Ohio and Indiana.

Orpheum, Empress, Pan takes and Lyric were being urged to attend the "Follies" tonight to help the unforunate thousands of Ohio and Indiana. An orchestra of 35 pieces, pro vided by the Musicians' Mutual Asso ciation, local No. 99, will play during the Follies. Every candy factory In the city will donate sweetmeats, the sale of which will help swell the fund for the Ohio and Indiana' victims. Noon today is the time set for the parade, which promises to be of pro portions seldom equaled in Portland. F.very member of the Musicians' Union in the city has been ordered to appear In the "Follies" band or suffer a fine. This means, it Is estimated, that it least 300 band musicians will be in line at the Heilig at noon today to bead the all-theater pageant. r boras r.lrl to Parade. The 10 theater managers will ride In taxicabs as in their parade Thurs day, chorus girls from the Lyric will be with Sam E.

No particular line of march has been mapped. It will be a case of "follow the leader" Mayor Rushlight. Br -ad-way, however, will be a vantage point and persons who station themselves at any corner on Theater Row from Washington to Taylor will not miss any portion of the 'Follies' array. v The same programme that tickled the multitude at the Heilig Thursday night will be presented tonight.

Cm account of the Elks' excursion to Seattle today to assist In the laying of the corner-stone of a new temple In that city. In which, he will participate, Jack Erklns, deputy In County Clerk Coffey's office, has been granted by Thomas J. Swivel, Insurance man and brother Elk, a special dispensation to fall off the "water wagon" for three days, March t to SI, inclusive. The dispensation is In writing. Several months ago Swivel and Er klns wagered with each other that the one who first took a drop of intoxi cating liquor into his interior would buy the other a S60 suit of clothes. Erklns anticipated that he mgiht find it convenient to imbibe maybe a little beer to show good fellowship while In Seattle and begged off. The dispensation, which was wit nessed by Secretary Spauldlng, of the Elks' Lodge, recites that it shall be effective from March 29 to March 31, but does not state the year.

He declares that the way Is left open to him to desert the "wagon" between March 23 and 31 of each year, while his antagonist dare not climb down at any time, on pain of losing the wager.

MILWAUKIE, Or., March 28. (Spe cial) Now that the Improvement of Front street through the town at a cost of about 120,000 has been peti tioned, it is urged here that the county should improve the Milwaukie road to the Multnomah County line at Sellwood. The Milwaukee road is part of the East Side Pacific highway and connects with Front street. There are several bad places between Milwaukie and Port land, Including two steep - hills that may be graded down. There is much travel on this road Into Portland, and Milwaukie people want It improved to the Multnomah County line. The indications are that there will be no difficulty in filling up the volun teer Are department when the Council appoints the Are commissioners and au thorizes them to organize the two com panies. Many young men and some of the members of the former volunteers will join the two new companies, one at Central Milwaukie and one for Min thorne district. PERSONAL MENTION. W. P.
