TTIE MORNING OEEGONIAN. TUESDAY, MAT 11, 1909. 11 HOYT ASKS GLAD HAND FOR GUESTS y President of Rose Festival Wants Summer Visitors Made Welcome. MANY EXPECTED TO COME Holiday Garb Is lTrged for Streets, With Consistent Boosting by People of City of Com ing Carnival. In just four weeks, the Third Annual Rose Festiyal will oe under way. An ticipating the fact that the citizens of Portland will not be prepared properly for entertaining the thousands of visitors that will be here during that triumphal week. President Ralph W. Hoyt issued the following statement yesterday: May 10, 1909. To th People of Portland: Four weeks from today Portland will bo called upon to entertain the greatest crowd of strangers that has ever come within our gates, with tho possible exception of "Portland day during the I,ewlH and Clark Exposition. It does not aeem to me that we are making tnifticient preparations to greet our guests properly. One of the most important ele ments in the success of any great cele bration, as our coming Rose Festival, Is bound to be suitable decorations. We have made numerous appeals to the public through the press urging tha business In terests, the merchants, the shop-keepers, the residents, property-owners generally. ana in fact all others to see to It that the city is arrayed in. holiday garb during festival week. Not for. that week alone, for Portland will entertain hundreds of thousands of visitors from the East during the entire Summer, and the "Rosa City" 'will be called upon to entertain at least H5 per cent of ail the visitors at the Se attle fair. T h thousands of delegates to the Elks convention at Ios Angeles will pass through Portland either on their way to the Coast or on their way home and we should ac cord them a suitable welcome. M any Come to Coast. In addition to this thena will be held a total of 85 National and district conven tions In the various Coast cities this Sum mer and we may reasonably assume that Hie delegates will want to see Portland while out on the Sunset Slope. The Na tional Grocers will be here, the Baptists' convention Is slated for Portland, and there are numerous other gatherings whose mem bership will reach Into four figures that will pay their respects to us. Not all of them, it Is true, will be here for tho Rose Festival. Wo could not expect it, for we are as yet a young organization, but we are becoming known the world ovsr and will continue to attract an ever Increasing patronage from the four points of the com pass. The sole Interest the Rose Festival has In Its relationship to the development of Portland Is to make it one of the . strongest ogenctos in advertising our wonious natural resources and advantages. We are just as deeply concerned in seeing that the various conventions and tourist parties which shall pass through hero this Sum mer are given the privilege of seeing us at our very best, no matter what the time or what the circumstances, as we are to have them with .us during our festival week la June. It has been our constant and earnest en- deavor to impress upon the minds of" all the fact that our organization is simply one of the energetic exploitation forces which our amoitious people are setting Jnto motion. What ability we have, what funds a generous people has entrusted to our keeping, shall be expended with no other end In view. And for this reason, we desire to call upon the citizens of Portland to join with us in the heartiest of co-operation to spread the news broad cast of the spk?ndid celebration that is to Cake place here next month. Should Advertise Dates. It seems that we have not been able to emphasize the dates of the festival strong ly enough, in spite of the fact that th Hill road, the Harrlman lines and other railroads and steamer lines as well as other advertising agencies haw exploited dates throuKh millions of pieces of literature. For this reason I would suggest that, from this time on, and bearing in mind that there are but four short weeks before the festival opens, that every loyal citizen of Portland come to us and secure publicity literature to distribute or to mention the festival dates June 7-12 in every piece of mall dispatched, no matter what the destination. A good many of us, perhaps, overlook the fact that tho fair at Seattle will be as Important, when net and ultimate re sults are concerned, to Portland, as it witl be to Seattle, and we should govern our selves accordingly. Let a loval and puillc-splrited citizenship go hand In hand from this time forward in making the next festival the greatest epooh-mHking event in our city's history. It can be done, and only co-operation, con tinuous, tlrefcsss and energetic is needed. Respectfully. RALPH W. HOYT, President Rose Festival. SUES FOR WEDDING DRESS Husband Wants Obdurate JLundlady to (iive It Back. C. N- rlillegas brought suit yester day to reoovor his wife's crepe de chine wedding dress, which he put up some weeks ago hs collateral for a month's rent. The suit is directed at Florence K- ytHlllngs, f42. Morrison street, who rented the house and acepted the wed ding dress as security for a month's rent. On a writ of replevin the dress was seixod by Constable Warner and is being held pending the outcome of the action. Mrs. Stalling., while surrendering the dress without protest, said she felt she was justified in holding- the garment. She durn't want the dress, as It wasn't a particularly tine one, hut acecpted tt as collateral in the belief that lltllcgas would redeem it for sentimental rea sons. Whether or not Mrs. Hillegas is entitled to the posesslon of her wed ding dress before the month's rent is paid is a question to be solved in the Justice Court. WILL MEET IN- PORTLAND Methodist Board of Sunday Schools to Convene June 13 to 15. . The Board of Sunday Schools of the Methodist Kniscopai Church wil hold a convention in Portland June 13 to 15 in the First Methodist Kpiscopal Church. It is said that plans of far-reaching Importance for the betterment of the present Sunday school system will be introduced. The Sunday school as it is known to day was founded by Robert Ratkes, a Gloucester, England, man. who devoted his spare time to organizing a school for children of the poorer classes. From the typo of those attending his meeting' nances quickly earned the title of "Ragged School" Raikes. As was the case with all pipneers. Raikes found his movement strongly condemned In his home country, but the scheme thrived on opposition. While the conflict was still raging'iu England a Methodist conference at Charleston, S. C. adopted resolutions favoring the adoption of Raikes' principles. A few years later. In 18, the nrst American Sunday school was founded by Bishop Asbury In Hanover County. Virginia. The work of the Sunday school was later carried on by energetic John H. Vincent, president of the first Sunday School Institute. Vincent established the Sunday Set ool Teacher, a periodical devoted to work of a religious nature, and from this periodical later grew the International Sunday school lesson sys tem. The lesson system consists of a course of daily reading forwarded to each pupil in the Sunday school from New York headquarters. With Lewis Miller, Vincent began the open-air institute, at which readings and lectures relating to the growth and work of the movement were given,. From the open-air institute the Chau tauqua grew. The Chautauqua is fol lowed now In practically every city of any size in the United States. The education of the teacher along lines of trained work was the next de velopment,' and in 1870 the first pri mary teachers' meeting was held. Later the Newark Primary Union took up the education of the teacher, which has been carried on by similar institutions in every town. The Methodist Church has ever stood in the forefront of the Sunday school development, whether In the line of home reading, education of teachers or general denominational church work. The Portland convention will be a new step In the same direction. DR. E. P. HILL INDORSED l'ORTLAXD PRESBVTERT BOOMS HIM FOR MODERATOR. Resolution Is Passed Favoring Him ' for Chairman of General Assembly at Denver. At an adjourned meeting of the Port land Presbytery, held yesterday after noon In Calvary Presbyterian Church, a resolution was passed indorsing Dr. Edgar P. Hill, formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Portland, as moderator of the General Assembly, to- be held in Denver. The resolution further recommended that delegates from the local Presbytery use their efforts to further the candidacy of Dr. Hill. A second resolution was passed recom mending to the general board of foreign missions that Dr. E. M. Sharp, of the Mount Tabor Church, be appointed Pa cific Coast secretary for the board of foreign missions. This position is ren dered vacant owing to the death of I) wight E. Potter, of this city. A resolution was passed recommending that the members of the Portland Pres byterian Brotherhood be asked to solicit the sum of $400 to purchase lots in Rose City Park for the church that is to be erected there. O. M. Scott, of the committee in charge of the brotherhood convention to be held here June 8-9, was present at yesterday's meeting for the purpose of acquainting the ministers with the plans for the con vention and asking their co-operation in making it a success. He declared that the meeting was one of the greatest im portance to the denomination and would act as a stimulus to men in the churches and Interest them more fully in its work. He pointed out that at the present time the missionary interests are largely ad ministered by women but that men should give the various departments their cordial support. Miss Marie C. Brehm, of the committee on temperance of the General Assembly, addressed the meeting on her work in Illinois as representative of the Anti Saloon League, Woman's Christian Tem perance Union and member of the plat form committee of the Prohibition party. Miss Brehm gave an interesting review of the prohibition movement in Illinois. Miss Brehm spo.ee at length again last night at the First Presbyterian Church. WE HAVEMOVED .

The suits sold by us at $15 are the best values in the city at that price. J. I Bowman & Co., Fifth and Alder. "Worthless" Land Worth $2133. WESTON. Or., May 10. (Special.) George Nesbitt, who has been em ployed for the past three years on the farm of J. N. York, was surprised yes terday by the receipt of a "windfall" amounting to $2133. Several years ago Mr. Nesbitt acquired for a small sum 23 acres of land six miles from Boise. He had since regarded it of no value. When a Boise real estate man. Dean Perkins, came to see him yesterday and offered him $2133 for the tract, he promptly closed the deal. PLAT AND EXPLANATION JECT FILED ... , . an an QjJhw "oaaaDCZJLiaaaaaaczziaaaaagapQaapgi tZMfrP y r MAP SHOWING PROPOSED LOCATIO.X OF XEW BRIDGE, AD NECESSARY COURSE OF VESSELS THROUGH MADISOX - STREET DRAW. A plat and explanatory notice were filed with City Auditor Barbur yesterday by George S. Shepherd, regarding the Market-street bridge project. These will be published in a pamphlet to be issued by the City Auditor, following the provisions of the law. The proposed amendment carries with it the diversion of the Madison-street bridge fund of $450,000, and the issuance of a like amount of bonds additional for the con struction of the span at Market street. The report, which is to be publ'shed, is signed by the following men: John E. McQuinn and William E. Morris, civil engineers; Edward Sul livan. I. A. Bailey and A. L. Pease, river ilots; D. J. Morman, master mariner, and George S. Shepherd. The report is as follows: The Madison-street bridge has been located at the widest point of the Willamette harbor, and is built at an angle of 35 degrees from a right angle to the thread of the stream, making it a menace to navigation. The current sets in against the east side of the draw pier, and it is dan gerous for the navigation of ocean vessels through the draw. The proposed location of the bridge at Market street is several hundred feet short er across he stream and will have a clearance of 75 feet from the deck beams to low water, and will only require to be opened for vessels with masts, and these will pass not more than twice a week, and all other times the draw will be closed. The new bridge will be built at right angles with the thread of the stream, and will insure the safe passage of vessels at all times. It will avoid long delays in construction by reason of litigation with the streetcar car and foot passengers. It will be reached on, both sides or tne river will expedite shipping and eliminate ,the expense of towboats on ocean FIGHT BRIDGE PLAN Opponents of Market-Street . Project Ask Injunction. TO KEEP IT OFF BALLOT R. M. Wade Declares Initiative Amendment Would Mean Dissipa tion of City Funds Signatures Are Alleged Insufficient. . An effort is being made to keep the pe tition for the transfer of the 450,000 Mad ison bridge fund to the Market-street bridge fund off the ballot. A suit asking that City Auditor Barbur be restrained by an Injunction from placing it before the voters next month was filed in the Cir cuit Court late yesterday afternoon by At torneys McXary and Lundberg. R. M. Wade is the nominal plaintiff. He owns 200 feet of property on Hawthorne ave nue, between East First and Second streets. That three years' delay in the building of the bridge would be the result of change in the location, is the assertion made in yesterday's suit. The passage of this amendment, says Wade, would mean irreparable injury to himself and all other Portland taxpayers. He says that the city's contract with Waddell & Harrington, of Kansas City, Mo., calls for the payment to them from the bridge fund of J20.000. It is also alleged that the City Auditor has failed to verify the sig natures upon the petition, and that if this had been done the petition would have, been found to be 300 names short of the required 15 per cent of Portland's reg istered voters. Wade admits that the Auditor compared the signatures on the petition with those on the registration books, but says this is insufficient. The passage of a new amendment to build the bridge at Market street would amount to a diversion, dissipation and squandering of the tax money, it is charged. If dissipation,' this, of course, would be dissipation of the tax by those who pay the tax. George S. Shepherd, who is fathering the Market-street bridge idea, said yes terday that the local streetcar company is behind the suit filed yesterday. "The company is fighting the removal of the bridge," said he, "even though it may be better for the city, because it will mean a difference of $165;60O to the company, and that much more in the city coffers if the Market-street bridge proj ect goes through, "The streetcar company's franchise on Madison-etreet bridge runs .for 12 years longer at $1200 a year. The new bonding act provides that the company must pay $15,000 a year to run across the bridge. The courts have held that a new bridge in the same place is only a continuation of the old highway." BOX MANUFACTURERS SUED J. K. Armsby Company, of San Fran cisco, Brings Action for Damages. Box manufacturers of the city are being sued by the 'J. K. Armsby Company, of San Francisco, in Judge Morrow's de partment of the local Circuit Court. A host of attorneys, representing the North ern Box Manufacturers' Agency, occu pied nearly every chair in the courtroom yesterday. The Armsby Company de mands $58,233.91 damages, alleging that the agency agreed in March, 1906. to fur nish box shooks on 12 days' notice, but failed in the last three years to fill the orders, compelling the canning company to purchase shooks in the open market at a higher price. The Armsby Company alleges that be tween April1 and September, 1906, it or dered of the agency 75,000 25-pound boxes, 116,000 50-pound boxes and 32,000 carton boxes. These were to be shipped to San Jose, Marysville and Suisun. Cal. But a large percentage of these boxes were undelivered, it Is charged. In de fense, the box agency says freightcars in which to ship the box shooks were not to be had. A. A. Courtney, manager of the agency, and H. L. Bennett, are made defendants. Mr. Courtney was on the witness stand yesterday afternoon to explain his tran sactions with the canning company. Ac cording to him, the Northern Box Manu- OF MARKET-STREET .

Fulton, Piatt & Piatt, A. F. Flegel and H. H. Riddell alBO appeared for the defendants, while Titus, Wright & Creed, F. W. Mulkey and Teal & Minor appear as attorneys of record for the plaintiff. INJCIX'CTIOX SUIT QUASHED City May Proceed With Improvement of Williams Avenue. The suit of J. O. Gibson and others for an injunction restraining the city from improving Williams avenue with Hassam hard-surface pavement was quashed yes terday morning, when Circuit Judge Gan tenbein sustained a demurrer to the com plaint. Judge Gantenbein held that the City Council has a right to call for a patented article in advertising for bids for street improvement. The Judge de cided that the fact that only one firm makes a particular kind of paving ma terial does not bar competition. After remarking that courts a about evenly divided upon this question. Judge Gantenbein said: "Judge Cooley stated a sound legal principle when he said that in all these cases there was and is in contemplation of law opportunity for competitive bid ding. The license necessary for the third person may be secured either before or after the third person has submitted his bid. If such third person has failed to secure a license before he has submitted his bid. he then runs the risk of obtain ing a license from the patentee. It is, however, apparent that his success or failure in obtaining a license does not as a matter of law prevent him from bid-' ding, and competitive bidding is not de stroyed by the fact of the article being; patented." CASE NOW BEING CONSIDERED Judge Bronaugli Takes Kellaher Suit Under Advisement. .Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh took under advisement yesterday afternoon the suit of Senator Dan Kellaher for a mandate to require City Auditor Barbur to place on the balllot the $2,000,000 light and power plant petition. Attorney L. A. McNary argued that, according to the state law, the City Auditor can do noth ing more than to discard sheets of names n the petition which contain more than a. iie aiso saia every signer oi tne pe tition must be a registered voter, as the Auditor cannot otherwise check up the signatures. Attorney Ralph Moody con tended that a copy of the initiative peti tion must be attached to every page of signatures. Judge M. L. Pipes, appearing in behalf of the City Auditor, contended that the constitution reserves to legal voters the power to initiate laws and that the Coun cil cannot by an ordinance require all these voters to be registered. He also contended that, there being 167 sheets of 21 names each, only 167 names, not the 167 . sheets, are to be discarded by the City Auditor. Administrator Asks Damages. Joseph Ehalainen, administrator of Frank Mattson's' estate, is suing Paquet. Giebisch & Joplin for $7500 damages for Mattson's death. He was killed while at work in the Brooklyn sewer. The casa is on trial before a jury in Judge Gan tenbein's department of the Circuit Court. Two others of the same nature against the contractors are to follow. Commission Is Sought. The suit of W. H. Chapin and II C. Herlow against C. W. .Pallett for the re covery of $250 commission on a real estate deal which was not consummated, is on trial before a jury in Judge Cleland's department of the Circuit Court.

The United States National Bank of Portland brought , suit yesterday against H. J. Pulfer and F. J. Dolson, of the Columbia River Tie & Lumber Association for the recovery of $3590.74. It is alleged that the Clacka mas Lumber Company contracted with the defendant corporation to supply 30,000 ties, to be shipped to Salt Lake City and Nevada. 'Forty-seven car loads of ties were shipped, it is al leged, worth $14,110, on which only $10,520 was paid. Car shortage is said to have prevented delivery on time. Swensson Suit Settled. The suit of A. F. Swensson against the Overlook Land Company has been settled out of court. The case went off the docket yesterday morning when the at torneys in the case announced their clients had reached an agreement. The trial of the case on its merits commenced before Circuit Judge Bronaugh last Fri day. What will be done with the con tempt cases against B.
