BE Five Thousand- Children Expected to Participate in Illuminated Street Procession. Following' an extended conference between President C. A. Bigelow, of the East Side Business Men's Club, and President Ralph TV. Hoyt, of the Rosa Festival Association, yesterday, ar rangements were made for holding a "Keast of Lanterns" procession, with masqueraders, with Illuminations and with a children s parade, as part of the June Festival programme allotted to the East Side. The East Side organization will have about 13000 to spend for its part in the Festival programme, and has ordered through the Festival the greatest array of Japanese daylight fireworks ever sent to this country, for display during the celebration. Both the club and the Festival people will contribute toward defraying the cost of this novel, pyro technical display which has been rec ommended by Imperial Japanese Consul Y. Numano. Order has been sent to Toklo for a complete set of this type of pyrotech nics, and the entire Oregon Congres - slonal delegation at Washington has been asked to use their influence with the proper Federal officials to secure the admission of this consignment of fireworks into Portland free of duty. The set pieces which have been or dered are Identical with the symbolical displays which were fired when the American fleet visited Japan on its world-girdling tour. President Bigelow, of the East Side Business Men's Club, said that he felt sure that a parade of the children of the entire East Side could be arranged for. and informed the Festival officials that the matter would be taken up by the club immediately. Last June the most important feature of the exercises was the children's parade, and It was such a success that it Is certain that It can be repeated on a much more ex tensive scale this year because of the greater scope of the celebration. With practically two-thirds of the school population on the East Side, President Bigelow said he thought it would not be difficult to secure a "Feast of Lanterns" procession containing at least 5000 school children. Efforts will be made to close Grand avenue for several blocks to all traffic during this portion of the celebration, and to give the thoroughfare over en tirely to the youngsters and the direc tors in charge of this picturesque feature of the event.

FIRST GUN OF CAMPAIGN REPCliL-ICAXS TO HOLD PARTY RALLY TONIGHT. Convention May Be Called In Hope of Putting fp strong Candidates In City Primaries. Considerable interest is being mani fested by Republicans In the mass meeting that has been called by the Union - Republican Club and the city and county Republican organizations at the Selling-Hlrsch building tonight. The purposes of the conference are two-fold. Besides revivifying the par ty organization in Portland and Mult nomah County. It la proposed to devise ways and means by which Republican success In the approaching municipal election may be assured. One of the products of the meeting probably will be a decision to hold a city convention In about two weeks, when the best available mon for publla office within the party will be consid ered and proposed to the electors. It is denied by leading members of the Union" Republican Club that to night's conference is In any sense a cut and dried affair or that any "pro gramme" has been agreed upon. In stead. S. C. Pier and Max G. Cohen, president and secretary, respectively, of this organization, which took th initiative in arousing sentiment favor able i.o the meeting, aver that It will be a free-for-all mass meeting to which all Republican voters are invit ed. As Mr. Cohen tersely put It last night. "The gathering Is proposed for the participation therein of all Repub licans who are interested In party or ganization and the public good." The floodgates of oratory are to be released and several extemporaneous addresses, charged with party inspira tion, are expected. Mr. Pier probably will lead off, and If Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher Is not detained too long by a previous engagement, he will be re quested to give his Ideas of what must be done If the administration of city affairs is to be restored to the dominant party. The gathering will take on the form of a talkfest in which all Republicans who have anything to say will have the privilege of partici pating. Members of the city and county central committee and representatives from the Sunnyslde. Scllwood. Forty-fifth Precinct and South Portland Republican clubs have been Invited to attend the meeting and will take part In the speech making. ' But the night will not be given up en tirely to oratory. There will also be ac tion. The probability Is that several com mittee wlU be appointed to work out the details incident to a convention, rep resentative of the party workers from all sections of the city, which will bo held In about ten days. If deemed advisable, some plan will be hatched whereby each precinct will be allotted delegates in proportion to its voting strength. Wheth er the convention that is to be held shall nominate outright a complete ticket for the municipal election or whether it shall merely suggest two or three strong candidates for each of the offices to be nominated in the primary nominating election May 8. is another problem that will be determined at tonight's meeting. Married ly Woman. In answer to inquiry regarding the wedding of Harry P. Stott and Nina E. Paul, of Sheridan, Or., County Clerk Fields has received the information that they were married by a woman. Jcanette O. Ferris, who says she is a minister. A letter received from her. dated at Sheri dan. Feb. 25, reads: The enclosed letter nan bcn handed me by Mr. Blott. On June SO, 1908. I married Mr. Strvtt And Mis Paul. Within ten dnyi after the ceremony the papers of record were sent to your office. It the flUna baa not been made the oversight la In your of fice. Mr. Fields replied that probably the signed certificate was lost In the mall, and requested her to make out and re turn another. STEAM ERELM0 RE, Sailing from Couch-street dock Thurs day evening.
