Prepara tions are being made for a banquet on the night of Tuesday, May 26, at the Sargent Hotel, Grand and Hawthorne avenues, by the United Bast Side push clubs. It is proposed as far as possible that the clubs attending should come in groups and wear some badge by which they tan be Identified and be seated at the table in groups. The Peninsula clubs, through the Development Leagi have taken action to attend in a body. Also the North Bast Side Improvement Associa tion has taken the same action and will send a considerable delegation. The Wil lamette Club will send a delegation, along with the Peninsula delegation. Tonight the Montavilla Board of Trade meets and will take up the matter of sending a dele gation. The University Park Board of Trade also meets tonight, and is expected to join in the general movement. At Sellwood tonight the Board of Trade will take up the matter. Waverly-Richmond clubs meet tomorrow night at the home of M. J. Morse and will arrange to send a delegation, and Thursday night the Brooklyn Repu-bllcan and Improvement Club meets and is expected to provide a representation. Sunnyside" Club will seDd a delegation. Speakers will represent ail these different sections. Xzw Plan Not Popular. So far the ; new plan of streetcars in stopping on ! the near side of streets for passengers is not popular, especially on the East Side where the streets are muddy during rains. Several of the push clubs have taken j action in opposition to the plan and will . ask the City Council to pass an ordinance requiring cars to resume the old way of i stopping, if it can be done. The federa- tion of clubs, while condemning the plan, ; has appointed a committee to ascertain i what is the practice in other cities before ! asking the Council to do anything, it having been reported that the new plan Is In general use elsewhere. It was con ceded that where the streets are paved, the inconvenience to the public is not serious, but as all streets are not paved, people -have to wade through mud or force their way into the car through the front end. Misses Car Step and Falls. Fred Marquam, a painter, living at 244 Seventh street, attempted to board a rapidly moving "S" car, at Corbett and Curry streets, at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and missed his footing on the car steps and fell heavily to the ground. He was picked up by the car crew and hurried to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where it was found he was not seriously hurt. Marquam had been playing baseba.'l on the South Portland flats and after the game hurried to catch his car. He ad mitted at the hospital that he should have used more care. His injuries are but slight and he will be able to leave the hospital today. j Peninsula to Bb Represented. Dele gates from all portions of the Peninsula will meet tomorrow night at the rooms of the branch library to complete arrange ments for the part that section will have in the Rose Festival. Charles Patton is the chairman of the Peninsula Rose Festi val Association, the organization having this matter In hand. The object of this association Is to give every tourist and visitor to Portland a lasting impression Immediately on his arrival at the Union Depot, where a rose booth will be estab lished from which roses will be distributed to those coming in on the trains. This means that thousands of roses must be had daily for distribution. Set Piles for Bridge. The Northwest Bridge Company is making good progress on the foundations for the piers of the Union-avenue bridge across Sullivan's Gulch. AH piles have been driven for these piers south of the O. R. & N. embank ment, and the driver is placing founda tion piles north of the embankment. Some difficulties were met with owing to the nature of the bottom of the gulch which Is filled with buried timbers used in the former bridge. Excavations for the abut ments at the south end of the bridge have been completed. Dams have been built east and west of the bridge site to exclude the water while the concrete footing and piers are being built. Report on Karlt-Clobxno). A meeting of the Consumers League' will be held, in connection with other organizations, at the Unitarian Church, Seventh and Yam hill streets. T hursday at 2 P. M., to hear the report of the committee ap pointed to investigate the possibility of the closing of stores and other places of business at 6 o'clock Saturday nights. This committee was appointed at & meet ing held a week ago and if a favorable report la given, a determined effort will be made by the league to force all stores to close Saturday at 6 P. M. Funeral or Miss Garcia. The fu neral of Miss Margie Garcia, who died last "Wednesday, at the home of her sister, M rs. H. J. Warner, 234 East Second street. North, was held Sunday afternoon, from Flnley's Chapel. Miss" Garcia' home was at Tonapah, Nev., where her father. R. R. Garcia, is a prominent busi ness man.

The Rose City Park Improvement League will hold its regular bi-weekly meeting at the Alameda schoolhouse, tonight. The spe cial committee on through streets to the Country Club will make its report on the result of the canvass made for signatures to initiate this improvement. The street car situation will also be discussed for the reason that Rose City Park residents are extremely anxious to know whether the street railway intends to loop its line around to the Country Club or double track on Sandy Road, or both, this Sum mer. The committee in charge of ar ranging for entering a floral float in one of the Festival parades will also re port The league will probably enter three decorated automobiles. Club's New Quarters Open. Work men were busily engaged at the Commer cial Club yesterday and last night getting the kitchen and banquet-room prepared for use today in serving lunch. Steward May and his corps of assistants expected late last night to be in readiness for the noon meal today. Very few of the ofn cers of the organization appeared at the rooms yesterday for the reason that the officers are not ready, and other members kept away knowing the rooms would not be in shape for entertainment. Several days will elapse before members can again feel at home in the club, but the final touches are being given the new quarters as rapidly as possible. Seaken's Institute Concert. A first class concert will be given tonight at the institute of the Portland Seamen's Friend Society, corner Third and Flanders streets. Some well-known singers wilt take part, including Miss Alice Juston, Mr. Bowman, Miss Suza Jones and Miss Barton, who will give a violin solo. Cooper's Orchestra will render several selections. A number of sailors will sing. Friends of the society are cordially in vited. Wiil Prepare Float. Members of the committee from the Sunnyside Push Club, appointed to prepare a float for the Rose Festival, will meet next Wednesday night at the home of T. J. Wilson, 254 East Twenty-eighth street, to adopt plans. In a general way, the design suggested is a mound of roses. The -float will carry six girls who will distribute roses during the parade. Slight Damage bt Firb. A carelessly thrown match set fire to the bedding in a room at 691 Second street about' 8 o'clock last night, but the blaze was ex tinguished with but slight damage. Engine company No. 5 responded promptly to an alarm and by the use of an ex tinguisher quenched the flames. Nortonla Grill for supper after the theater. Engage table. 1 SUBWAY IS LIVE SUBJECT East Side Much Interested in River Crossings. The question of bridges or Bubways to cross the Willamette River Is a live one on the Bast Side. There. Is a wide divergence of opinion on the subject. The United East Side Clubs favor building a new Madison bridge on the present location, but making the West Side land ing on Jefferson street. In order to bring the bridge at right angles with the cur rent. The Peninsula Development League, which represents nine clubs in the north East Side district, favors moving the Madison bridge to Bast Mill and Second and Clay and Front streets. This league will come before the United East Side Push Clubs May 12 with a demand that that body favor this loca tion. The Rose City Park Improvement League Is opposed to any more bridges north of the Steel bridge. It favors the construction of three subways to take the place of present and future bridges. It is opposed to the high bridge for Al blna and will urge the building of a sub-Av-ay. It will oppose a draw bridge for Albina on the ground that it will be an obstruction to shipping In the harbor. Delegates from the Rose City Park Im provement League were instructed to ap pear before the United East Side Push Clubs next Tuesday night and advocate the construction of three subways, start ing with one for Albina or the district north of Sullivan's Gulch. Just how all these differences will be harmonized is not apparent, but the solution will probably be reached when the opinion of Ralph Modjeska, the engineer, has been submitted on both bridges and subways at Portland.

SUNDAY CONCERT AT HEILIG BY SPITZNER PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY BY-J. M. QUBNTTN. HAPPY sounds floated out of the Heillg Theater yesterday after noon for two hours, making the raindrops ashamed -of themselves. It seemed as If cageful after cageful of singing canaries had been let loose, to sing at their own eweet will. One min ute a violin chorus would dominate, and then would come the throb, throb of the double basses, succeeded by the military crash of the brasses and drums. The occasion was one of the pleasurable concerts of the Spltzner Philharmonic Society, and the theater was Jammed to overflowing. The audi ence was of the appreciative kind, for It was largely composed of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and cousins of the talented pupils of Professor Spltzner, who occupied the stage. Every number was applauded, and the cry came for more. I should like to explain for those busy people who don't know, that the Spltzner Philharmonic Society is com posed of young music students, and that anybody may Join it regardless of with whom the student has pursued her or his studies. Its purpose Is purely educational, and it concerts are given Sunday afternoons so that people who love music and are unable to get away during the week, may be present The society is also a factor In the life of musical Portland, because it is from such Intelligent and gifted amateurs that our symphony orchestra talent is drawn, as time progresses. Mr. Spltzner conducted at the concert, and showed he had his musical forces well In hand. Misses Nina Nlcklin. Lillian Morgan, Dorothy Foster and Modesta Mortenson, violin pupils of his. played and they all did credit to their in structor, themeelves, and the hard study they had evidently undergone. I never, publicly, adversely criticise ama teurs, but in this Instance, even if I were disposed to find fault, there would be no occasion to do so. The young folks only deserve praise.

GREENE. T"HB perfume of lavender hangs around 1 "Secret Service." It is almost as if one opened a long forgotten packing case in the garret and brought to light again the quaint finery, the old daguerreotypes and myriad memories of the heroic days which they have held Jealously through all these long, long years. The belles and the beaux that were gay the eve before Sumpter axe gray now and their youth is burled In that lavender-scented memory-box. The knights who rode with Sheridan or Stuart, alas, how many of them there be of whom we say: "Their bones are dust; Their good swords rust; 1 Their souls are with the saints we trust. Undeniably the most romantic epoch in American history is that which covers the years and preceding and during the progress of the Civil War. It will some day be a veritable Golconda to the novel 1st and playwright. To be sure much of permanent value naa rjeen written concerning the period, but we are still too near it fully to catch the sheen of romance which tradition casts upon the spears of history. In "Secret Service," however, William Gillette has written one of the most ver acious and at the same time interest compelling dramas, that concern the un fortunate affair between the (Korth and the South. It Is war drama, pretty well expurgated. There is very little of the spectacular In It and Its melodramatic moments come in quite naturally. The Baker players opened their week In this play yesterday afternoon and went through it with flags flying. It was one of, if not quite, the smoothest first per formance that the company has given. While not so well acted as many of their efforts, there were fewer breaks and era-I barrassmg delays. I was especially Impressed with the character bits played by Louise Kent, the stereotyped old nigger mammy, which Bhe presented In anything but the stereo typed manner, and the other black-face part, Jonas, done by "William Wolbert. Robert Homans was somewhat too ob viously seeking private ends in his efforts to thwart Thome. After studying his makeup rather carefully, I'm surprised that he didn't bring on a "blacksnake" wiiip and a pack of hounds and be done with it. It is a rather"naughty" revised Simon Legree you're giving, Robert, dear. William Gleason, who played the old General, shouted louder than Generals usually do unless something really dread ful, like dinner being late. Is the mat ter. Otherwise he was a fine pattern of the veteran Army officer. The role which Gillette wrote for him self, the Northern secret service agent in Richmond during the siege, is nat urally In the hands of George Alison, who Is very effective in the telegraph office In the third act. Throughout the entire play he maintains a fair average. Izetta Jewel is particularly happy In the role of Edith Varney, -the Rebel girl, who becomes, a party to the Union spy's designs in order to save him, that they may live happily ever afterward. The young leading woman should, however, restrain a ten dency to bubble over-much. In the first act she was a bit too coquettish for any particular use. When she subdued her self, as she did In the other acts, she improved several per cent. The same criticism also goes against Maribel Sey mour who displayed a tendency to fce altogether more kittenish than girls old enough to be society belles have any right to be. Miss Seymour is a par excellence Ingenue and In the larger part of the play was a delight as Miss Caroline, the mis chievous little Virginia flirt, but It would be a favor if she would tone down a bit and lisp not at all. Donald Bowles was positively brilliant during the brief time he was In evidence. He played the Ubby Prison refugee and did it to the liking of the best tastes. The boy soldier who goes out to be wounded In his first fight Is played by Howard Russell and excellently well done. Mr. Russell has been scoring decidedly in the past few weeks. Mlna Crollus Gleason has the part of Mrs. Varney and, of course, accounts for It well. The pro duction Is all that the piece requires. Grease paints and professionals' supplies at Woodard, Clarke & Co. cumstance," Puccini's fantasia from "Madame Butterfly," and . Luder'a "Prince of Fllsen." The piano soloist of the afternoon was Miss Frances Batchelor, whom I never before heard play in public. She chose the Chopin prelude op. 45 and the ballad In G minor, and fully demon strated that she Is possessed of more than average talent. To play these compositions from memory is in itself no light task, yet Miss Batchelor did this. She has a delightfully soft touch, and is a real tone painter. Chopin's melancholy romanticism in these num bers received faithful interpretation. The piano accompaniments to the violin solos were excellently played by Professor Spitzner and Miss McElroy. The orchestra was composed of over 80 people, the programme showing these players' names: Anderson. George Lewis. Jessie Bathe. Paul Lewis, Ejrte Banzer. H. C. Larson, W. A. Bennett, Grace Lockiiart.

The Toreadors," at The Star. gfr BE TOREADORS" is the title of j I the musical potpourri with which fhe Armstrong Musical Comedy Company opened another week's engagement at the Star Theater, and played to crowded houses at all three performances yester !day. ' The piece Is as funny as anything of the kind that has ever been presented here, and the laughable gyrations of two of the comedians in Impersonating a bull is as much a scream as was the laughing horse act at the Grand last week. Ed 'ward Armstrong and Barney Williams are funny enough in themselves, but when called upon by the King of Nowhere to take the part of a bull in order that the monarch may pull off a scheduled bull fight, they cause the audience to go into hysterics. Will IL Armstrong is a cap ital comedian as the eccentric King, and the buffoonery of the trio is not too far fetched to be overdone. The stunt of the three comedians In taking the place of the orchestra is a decided hit. Miss Mag daline Holly, as Slgnor Macaroni, the toreador, is very good and her songs are exceptionally well rendered. Miss Ethel Davis, as the. King's daughter, who is In love with Slgnor Macaroni, possesses a charming voice and shares the honors with Miss Holly. The chorus of the Armstrong Com pany 1b one of Its features, for the girls are all young and pretty, and In addition are among the hardest workers in that line to appear in Portland for a long time. The girls sing and dance quite cleverly and rush their work with such ease and grace as would credit a first-class pro duction. - In addition to the musical comedy, the Star presents several vaudeville numbers of more than passing merit. The Musi cal Lowe, who formerly travelled with Sousa's Band, is an expert on the xylo phone, and his several selections were greeted with enthusiastic applause. Mrs. Peter Maher, billed as the widow of the famous Peter Maher, possesses the knack of pleasing her audience, and her singing and monologue is really good. Canard, the aerial contortionist contributes an act of the kind seldom witnessed In this sec tion of the country. In fact, the patrons of the Star will miss a decided treat by not witnessing this week's attractions. LOCAL OPTION PETITIONS Argument as to Right of Signer to Withdraw Xante. ASTORIA, Or., May 16. (To the Editor.) In an editorial In last Friday Oresoniar. under the caption of "Open the Way to Fraud." the action of Judge McBride Is criticised in a decision relative .to local option petitions in Astoria, wherein tht judge decided that a signer of a local option petition. had a right to withdraw his name before & final action is taken by the County Court, upon the theory that such action opens the way to fraud. A large number of the courts of last re sort In the United States have decided that a person has a right to withdraw his name from a Detition if it was signed through misapprehension or xrrlsstatetnents. As an illustration, one of the signers to the pe tition was Informed by the person who presented it to him. that it was for the purpose of closing the saloons between the hours of 10 A. M. and 3 P. M., Sunday. He did not read the petition, but relied upon the statement made to hrra by the circular of the petition. His signature was obtained through fraud, and could not have been ob tained in any other way. Another person signed It upon the statement made to him. that It was to oppose the wet petition circu lated in Precinct No. 7, which is now dry and a residence precinct. Another person's name appears on the petition which was not signed by him. but by his wife. Does The Oregonian contend that these names should remain on a petition secured through decentlon and fraud, and be al lowed in order to obtain the requisite num ber of signers? Justice would Indicate that where a person signed a petition that he did not believe in. but was induced to do so through misrepresentation and fraud, that he would have a right to withdraw his name when he discovered the deception. While it may be true that the methods adopted by the liquor dealers have been those of deception and fraud, when the oppo nents ofthellquoi- traffic resort to the QrcgQMjifc The Policyholders' Company Is Best for H.

M. same methods, the accusation should not fall alone on the liquor men. The local option law Itself. Is a one-sided affair. It grants to the advocates of prohibition more rights than Is accorded to the liquor Inter ests. Every law should be fair and rea sonable, so as to give all classes an equal right under the law. If the court hold that a nerson has a right to withdraw his name from a petition, that becomes the law, and can only be changed by lc-gislatlve enactment prohibiting tht procedure. I am not apologizing for the actions of the liquor interests, because I was their attorney, but simply to show that the Pro hibitionists are as adept at misrepresenta tion and fraud as are the liquor dealers. While the criticisms of The Oregonian are no doubt correct in principle, they should apply to both parties to a fraud. If a fraud ha been committed. C. J. CURTIS.
