FINAL REHEARSAL I
FORTODAY'S DRILL!
Children of Public Schools Go
Through Evolutions on
Multnomah Field.
ALMOST 5000 IN ACTION
Many of Proud Parents on Hand to
See Spectacle, but Much Greater
Crowd Is Expected This After
noonGala Day for Kiddles.
By ARTHUR A. GREEN.
It was a rare sight yesterday after
loon at Multnomah Field to sec an army
of 4600 children in action, moving like
trained .veterans in the varied evolutions
which they have been taught with in
finite pains and patience by their in
structors in the public schools under the
general supervision of Robert Krohn.
physical director of the Portland public
schools.
The occasion was a rehearsal of the
public school children for their first an
nual field day, which will be celebrated
on the same field this afternoon. Al
though only a final rehearsal, sort of a
curtain-raiser to the main event, there
was a considerable audience present to
watch the kiddies, and DeCaprio's band
played its most inspiring tunes.
As early as 2:30 special streetcars ear
ning the happy youngsters from their
various schools toward the athletio field
began demoralizing regular traffic on the
Morrison-street line. Emulating their
elders, the high school and college stu
dents, the boys aroused the town with
their Improvised yells, to which the girls
added their shrill treble. As they passed
through the streets of the business sec
tion people rushed to the shop doors to
see what was going forward.
There were dozens of cars loaded to
the guards with the pupils. It seemed
that some modern Pied Piper were luring
sway from the town all children in it.
Under the direction of their teachers and
especially ueputed captains the cars' un
loaded their precious loads a bolck or two
from the entrance to the field, where the
children were formed into companies and
regiments and divisions.
Children Don't Mind Snn.
The process of formation required con
siderable time. It was warm in the sun,
but the kiddies didn't mind that In the
least. Their faces were flushed with
happiness and excitement more than from
the 80-odd degrees of heat. There was
hurrying to and fro of the file closers
and "captains. Each division was formed
In column of fours, two boys and two
girls, some divisions carrying wands and
others Indian clubs. The big uncom
pleted grandstand at the west side of
the field began to fill with spectators,
fathers and mothers, proud of their off
spring, with here and there a child-loving
bachelor or spinster.
It was nearing 4 o'clock when the first
division entered the main gate and
marched onto the field. They swung
across the plain in correct formation and
drew up at attention. Another followed.
SCHOOL CHILDREN DRILLING ON MULTNOMAH FIELD
and yet others, until the big field was
practically covered with row after row
of them. Director Krolm. calling his or
ders through a giant megaphone, seemed
everywhere present. Then he mounted a
reviewing stand and Do Caprio's , band
struck up a swinging march. The pretty
and graceful wand drill was the first
event, the little performers going
through the movements with the preci
sion and accuracy of so many diminutive
machines. Those who have never seen
thousands of America's youngest and
best, thousands of hopes of the future,
the men and women of tomorrow, en
gaged In such healthful and helpful exer
cise, have missed something which is
calculated to make them happier.
Gala Day for Yonngsters.
It was a gala day indeed for the chil
dren, a lark such as they had seldom
had, but they went at it in the most
business-like fashion. Every boy and
girl did his level best and the spirit of
innocent rivalry was plainly apparent.
There were 23 regiments In the drills,
approximating 200 to the regiment.
Thirty-one schools ' were represented.
In the Indian club drills 1200 were en
gaged. Those with wands numbered
1000. and 2400 engaged in the calisthenic
drills. Although, as has been said, yes
terday's event was but a rehearsal for
today's great affair, it went off without
a hitch, and this afternoon a perfect
exhibition may be expected.

CLOSE TO WO
IN Oft ELECTION
And at That, Betting Is Not
Nearly So Heavy as in
Former Years.
HADLEY A HEAVY LOSER
Tillamook Man Shows Dislike for
Chamberlain $1000 at a Crack.
Many Heavy Winners Refuse
to Tell Amount Won.
Between $40,000 and $50,000 changed
hands yesterday, and those who sup
ported Governor Chamberlain for the
United States Senate, Judge Cameron
for District Attorney and Bob Stevens
to succeed himself as Sheriff, are wax
ing happy and are laden with wealth.
It was payday at Ed Schiller's and
George Cadwell's, the two Washington
street cigar-stores that were used by
the campaign speculators as deposi
tories for their wagers.
George Cadwell paid out about $6000,
and Ed Dietrich, who handles the
money at Schiller's, passed over $31,000.
The amount wagered on the recent
election was the smallest bet in Port
land in many years. None of the old
time big betters were out with their
money, and the biggest winners were
two bets of $1300. In the Lane-Devlin
election something over $60,000 was bet
on the outcome, while in the Inman-Ro-we
and the FurnLsh-Chamberlaln
campaigns, money was bet like water.
Hadlcy a Heavy Better. ,
Perhaps the biggest Individual better
In the recent election was Clark Had
ley, of Tillamook. Hadley did not like
Chamberlain a little bit, and it was his
thousands that switched the betting so
suddenly on Saturday afternoon. For a
week prior to the day of election, the
market was glutted with Chamberlain
money, and there was plenty of Man
ning money in sight without takers.
Hadley bet $2000 on Cake, and the fact
that he dumped his money on the mar
ket, $1000 at a crack, made the Cham
berlain supporters sit up and take no
tice. They soon rallied and in no time
all of the Cake money was taken. Then
Hadley got busy with the Cameron end
of the wagering game, and he perhaps
broke about even. This tip came from
Frank J. Richardson, president of the
Terwllliger Land Company, who was
the hottest kind of a Cameron man
throughout. Mr. Richardson won $1185
on Cameron.
Wins on Stevens' Majority.
- George Sorenson went down the line
on Chamberlain, and presented tickets
to Ed Dietrich calling for $1180. An
other big bet, and one in which odds
of 2 and 3 to 1 were given, was
chased by A. Delovage. Most of this
money was wagered- on the majority
Sheriff Stevens would have over Tom
Word. Delovase wagered that Stevens
would beat his opponent by 1500 and
over. Harry Lovery cashed a ticket
calllns; for $660 on Cameron, and there
OTCEGONIAN. TUESDAY,
were several other large winners who
refused to tell how much they had won.
J. W. Morrow won a handsome bet on
Chamberlain. After a great deal of
hard work, George Cadwell managed to
get him down for $1000, and when
Hadley came through with his Cake
money Morrow became busy and roped
in some of it. Now that the election
is over. Morrow has $1000 with Cad
well tobet that Chamberlain will be
the next United States Senator from
Oregon. There is. he says, $5000 more
that he will bet the same way.
WOULD RESTRICT LOANS
Controller's Recommendation for
Security of Bank Deposits.
WASHINGTON, June 8. Prepara
tions are being made by the Treasury
Department for the prompt carrying
into effect of the various provisions of
the new currency law.
A list of all National banks, ar
ranged by states, showing the capital
and surplus of each, is being prepared
by the Controller of the Currency for
use by the Secretary's office in con
nection with any applications that
may be received from banks for the
formation of National currency asso
ciations provided for by the new law.
Deputy Controller of the Currency T.
P. Kane, in answer to an inquiry as
to what was being done toward pre
paring recommendations for amend
ments to the National banking laws for
submission to the National Monetary
Commission, stated that such amend
ments will be recommended as experi
enced practical administration of the
law has shown to be necessary. The Na
tional bank act has worked very satis
factorily and successfully, Mr. Kane
stated, and no radical change In the laws
is deemed necessary.
There are a number of administrative
regulations in regard to the management
of banks and the conduct of their busi
ness which It is said, should have the
force of law In order that the Controller
may have the power to correct unsatis
factory conditions and dangerous prac
tices found to exist In banks which, while
not a violation of the banking laws, in
variably lead to disaster.
Although Mr. Kane thought It unwise
at present to go into details, it is well
known that for a long time the Con
troller's office has importuned Congress
to make certain changes in the law which
would result In greater security, espec
ially to creditors of banks. More bank
failures, it Is said, have resulted from the
excessive or Imprudent concentration of
funds in the hands of single or allied In
terests than from all other causes com
bined. The officials say it matters not,
so far as the security of such funds Is
concerned, whether the liabilities consist
of direct loans made in excess of the limit
In violation of the statutory restriction,
or the discount of commercial paper be
yond the limits of prudence and safety
but within statutory authority.
Realizing the dangers of such a sit
uation, endeavor has been made by offi
cial supervision of administrative regu
lation to supply a protection to the de
positor which the law does not afford
him, by insisting that the aggregate lia
bilities of any interests for direct loans
and discounted commercial paper shall
be within the limits of prudence and
safety.
Pattee Estate Worth $4700.
The estate of Hiram B. Pattee has been
appraised at $4700. The real property,
situated on the East Side, is worth $4500.
The appraisers, David S. Stearns, W. T.
Branch and EL W. Crockett, filed their
report yesterday.

Catarrh is not merely a disease of the mucous membranes and inner
linings of the body as some of the symptoms would seem to indicate ; it is a
deep-seated blood disease, iu which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Like all other blood diseases, Catarrh
comes .from poisons and impurities accumulating in the circulation which
irritate and inflame the tissues and mucous surfaces, and then the unpleas
ant symptoms of the disease are manifested. There is a ringing noise in the
ears, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, filthy matter drops back into
the throat, the breath has an offensive odor, and many other annoying and
unpleasant symptom3 are characteristic of the trouble. Sprays, washes,
Inhalations, etc., cannot reach the blood, and are therefore valuable only for
the temporary relief they afford. . To cure Catarrh the blood must be purified.
Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose; it goes down into the circulation,
removes the catarrhal matter, purifies the blood and makes a lasting cure.
vvnen . fc. t. nas removed the cause, the blood being pure and healtny
nourishes the membranes and tissues instead of irritating them with noxious
matter, and the symptoms all pass away. Book on Catarrh and any med
ical advice free. " THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA, GA."

of Harney and Wheeler Counties, Is

of 40,149. In this city, the bill has
carried at the rate of three to one, and
in such cities as Astoria, The Dalles,
Pendleton, La Grande, Baker City,
Roseburg, Marshfield and Ashland, the
vote has been about two to one in favor
of the measure. In many of the coun

the vote has been overwhelmingly
