Preparations for Banquet. 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.

pointed to investigate the possibility of
the closing of stores and other places of

report la given, a determined effort will
be made by the league to force all stores

Rosa Citt Park League. 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

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.

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.
The overtures chosen were of the
Joyous kind Suppe's "Light Caval
lerie." Puccini's fantasie on "La Tosca,"

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.

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

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

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.
