CARS TO COLLECT
FESTIVAL ROSES
Millions of Blooms to Be Taken
to Fair Grounds From All
Parts of City.
BUDS ARE AT RIGHT STAGE
Supply Is Tnusually Lavish This
Year and All Citizens Are V'rged
to Contribute to Success
of Pageants.
Plans were perfected yesterday for th
assembling of roses to he usr?d In ex
hibits and decorations during Rose Festi
val week. For the most part the col
lection of the roses will depend on the
streetcar system, which has advanced as
surance of lcyal support in the under
taking. Kvery streetcar conductor in the city
will he In tho business of handling roses
next Tuesday and Wednesday. Orders to
this effect were issued yesterday from
the headquarters of the Portland Rail
way. Light & Power Company. The men
are to be instructed before the end of the
week as to Just what will be expected
of them. The work. too. will be organized
so as to avoid any possibility of delay or
confusion.
Places Iloses Near Track.
Anyone having roses to contribute to
the Festival will need merely to place
them In a box. carry them to the near
est Ftreetcar crossing and lay them be
side the track. It would save the car
crew a lot of trouble, of course, if citizens
Would wait and hand them aboard. The
flowers will then be transported to the
center of the city, where workers from
Festival headquarters will take charge
of them and place them on cars bound
for the Exposition grounds. Tn this way
the hundreds of thousands or buds and
blooms for the floral pageants of Tues
day and Wednesday are to be assembled.
Everyone is urged to contribute. There
are millions of roses available. It is only
left for the thousands of rose growers,
amateur and professional, to cull their
bloomn. pack them, and carry them to
the streetcar Tuesday and Wednesday.
No matt-r if you live in Woodlawn,
.Alberta. Sunnyside, Portland Heights or
Mount Tabor, the streetcars most con
venient to you will take charge of your
contribution and see that it reaches its
proper destination. If you have only a
bush or two in your yard, then send a
half dozen roses. Send all you can, to
be pure, but don't hesitate In contribut
ing because your donation would have to
be small. It is from the small contribu
tors that the. most is expected in tho
aggregate.
California Building Headquarters.
The California building at the Exposi
tion grounds will be the point of assem
bly. Not only will the rose exhibits bo
entered there but all the feature and
vehicle decorations will be made up there
abouts. Ample provision has been made
for the reception and care of a million
rnses a day. The supply will readily
reach that amount. Take tho supply East
and retail them at the current market
price and you'd be immensely rich. Here,
of course, roses are as common and
plentiful as the grass of the prairie coun
try or the leaves of the trees in Cen
tral Park.
In order to determine once for all just
how extensive the rose crop Is going
to be this Festival season, a reconnols
sance of the city was made yesterday
forenoon by President Hoyt and General
Manager Hutchln. of the Rose Festival
Association. In an automobile they went
from one end of the city to the other.
Choice blooms were seen everywhere.
They were particularly impressed by the
number of buds which will bloom with
the end of the week Just in time to
be of the most benefit. On their return
from this inspection trip, the Festival
officials reported that never before within
their knowledge has the supply been so
lavish. And the quality of roses every
, where was remarkably good. Plainly
Portland's army of amateur rose-growers
have been profiting by the Rose Festivals
of past yeans.
How to Enter Exhibits.
Those who wish to enter the competi
tive exhibits at the Exposition grounds
will find a committee at the California
building today, tomorrow and MondS-,

IJohn V. Minto will supervise the letting

all who will compete appear earlv. Then
the exhibits will be in place not later
than 11 A. ai. Tuesday. It would be
better to get them in place before that
hour.! The area of competitive exhibits
will be. open to the general public Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Both the Hunt Club and the Riverside
Irlving Club will participate in the
chariot races at the Country dub meet.

wnen representatives of both organiza
tions got together to discuss the use and
apportionment of the decorated chariots
which will be available for racing pur
poses arter the parades of the week.

PENIXSCIiA'S PART OUTLINED
Will Display Roses at Show and Dis
tribute Them Among Strangers.
Arrangements have been completed for
the part Peninsula will have in the Rose
Festival. Under the auspices of Rose Cul
ture Club, Mrs. A. B. Stone, president,
roses will bo taken to the California build
ing on the Exposition ground, where the
club has been assigned a certain part of
tbe building, and the roses must be there
by Tuesday at 11 A. M. Mrs. Stone urges
Peninsula people to be prepared to send
In their roses for this exhibit on the
streetcar which will run down the St.
John line early Tuesday morning. Pri
vate exhibits may also be made by se
curing plank application from J. H. Nolta,
on Klllingsworth avenue. Mrs. Stone,
Mrs. J. H. Kolta, Mrs. J. Brooks, Miss
Hattie Williams, Mrs. D. Baughman and
other women will be at the California
building Tuesday morning to receive and
arrange the roses for the exhibit. The
officers of the Rose Culture Club desire
that the people of the Peninsula should be
prompt in sending in their roses, which
may be left at the stations along the St.
John line or brought in baskets by private
exhibitors, as they must be in place by
Tuesday at 11 A. M.
J. H. Nolta, of the Peninsula Rose As
sociation, who has charge of the trans
porting of roses from points on the Pe
ninsula to the depots and the Exposition
grounds, has made the following arrange
ments with the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company: Tuesday morning at
7:30 o'clock the Peninsula rose car will
leave the Piedmont carbarns and run
down to S t. John, where it will start
picking up roses left at St. John and at
the stations along the carline. The car
will then run out to Woodlawn on Union
avenue and pick up the roses. People of
Multnomah and those living on the Upper
Albina carlines are asked to send to Kil
lingsworth avenue their roses on the
Lower and Upper cars, where they will
be gathered up by the rose car and taken
to the depots and the Exposition grounds.
On other days than Tuesday the cars will
leave the carbarns at 8 A. M.
Mr. Nolta urges that. all roses be cut
with long stems, so they can be handled
easily and last much better. He says
that where the stems are short the roses
are of little value. From this source
roses will be supplied for the Union and
North Bank depots during the continuance
of the Rose Festival, and at these depots
there will be booths from which roses will
be given to people arriving on trains.

Charges That Spouse Would Spy on
Him in His Private Office and
Accuse Him of Most Un
seemly Conduct.
Attorney S. C. Spencer charges Mrs.

temper, to so far get the better of her,
soon after they were married, that she
became hysterical and fell to the floor-
He says also that he has been Insulted
witn language unfit to be mentioned in
the legal papers.
Then follows a description of his wife"s
conduct in his office. She would stand
at the door eavesdropping, and then walk
rapidly back and forth in his office, he
says, inquiring angrily of his emnloves as
to who was in the private offlee talking
with hirn. and accusing the lawyer of
navmg mere women of loose character.
He says also that she went to his friends
ana asKed them to watch him.
Spencer says he was married October
wSl, 1895, and has treated his wife as well
as a man in his station of life could. He
denies her charges of unfaithfulness, and
says it was an act of cruelty on her part
jor ner to me tne divorce suit against
him. He asks the court to give him the
divorce.

while her friends tell her fortune, neglect
ing her children tn the meantime. He

Declares Assessment Void.
The City Council's assessment of $5590
upon the property -owners for the repairs
on Elise street, from Union avenue to
Albina avenue, is void. Judge Ganten
bein, of the Circuit Court, handed down
a decision yesterday to the effect that
the Council exceeded its authority by
assessing, not upon the basis of the spe
cial benefits accruing to each lot, but
upon the basis of the actual cost of the
improvement abutting the property. The
suit was brought against the city, City
Treasurer, City Auditor and Council by
Ella and John Stevens. Louis and Ma
thilda Wetther, Kattie and John Kingsley
and Clare A. Hume.

they have paid $682.75 of It, but says
$40.25 is still due. He is also suing for
Miss Nina G. York, whom he says should
receive $30 more. Vose says he signed

month, and that Miss York was to re
ceive $0.

FRAME THEATERS'
END IS IN SIGHT
Modern Buildings Only After
July 1, 191 1, Verdict of Chief
and Building Inspector.
ACTION MUST BE APPROVED
Council and Executive Board, It Is
Reported, Are Favorable and
Managers Are Xot Expect
ed to Oppose Chanjrc.
Two years will be given in which to
build fireproof, modern theaters, at the
expiration of which frame houses for this
purpose must be abandoned, if the recom
mendation of Building Inspector Dobson
and Kire Chief Campbell is adopted by
the City Executive Board and an ordi
nance passed by the Council fixing the
time. Such is the solution to the prob
lem, from the standpoint of the two offi
cials named, and it is believed their
proposition will be accepted by all those
interested. It is said there will be no
opposition to the plan on the part of any
of the theatrical managers, as they real
ize the time is ripe for improvements.
This Is the result of the closing by
Mayor Lane of the Heillg Theater last
Monday afternoon. That building is con
demned, and was found to be rotten, the
foundations being in bad condition. All
engagements were transferred to the
Baker Theater on short notice, as the
Mayor refused to permit another perform
ance after inspecting 'the structure. In
spector Iobson and Chief Campbell have
held for a long time that only the most
modern construction should be allowed
in which to house public gatherings, but
not until now have they determined to
make such a radical recommendation.
I feel that it is time Portland should
take a stand for new, modern construc
tion in theaters," said Mr. Dobson yes
terday, "and hence. Chief Campbell and
I have drafted a recommendation that
a time limit of two years from next
July 1 be fixed by ordfnance. This will
be filed with Mayor uane and the Exec
utive Board".
"Two years will be ample time for the
various theatrical managers to arrange
lor new buildings. I understand they
will raise no objection to our recommen
dation, realizing that improvements are
necessary. I feel that, by giving them
two years, the city will be treating them
right. I would not favor closing the frame
theaters suddenly, as I regard them as
sufficiently safe to use until modern
buildings can be built."
In addition to the Hellig, this recom
mendation will affect the Baker, the
Bungalow and the Grand, all of which
are frame buildings, but which will be
allowed to run for two years, unless
something unforeseen occurs. George L.
Baker, manager of the Bungalow and the
Bauer Theaters, is a member of the City
Council, and will not make any objec
tion to the passage of an ordinance- fly
ing the time limit on frame buildings for
nicaiera at two years from July 1.
NEW EXPLOSIVE MADE
PORTLAND MAN CLAIMS MUCH
FOR HIS DISCOVERY.
Compound Invented by C. H. Daucliy
Successfully Meets Tests by
Local Engineers.
C. H. Dauchy, a Civil War veteran and
a citizen or i-ortland since 1870, has sue-
ceeaea in manufacturing a comnonnH
which it is said will supply a long-felt
want tor a sale and powerful explosive.
Dy tne use ol which the great loss of
life and property that has marked the
use of the nitro compound explosives
ever since the discovery of nitro
glycerine can be avoided. -
The name of the new explosive has
not yet been disclosed, owine to the fact
that the application for protection now
on file in the archives of the Patent Of
fice at vv ashington has not been passed
upon. However, the name will probably
be "The New Eacnlosive." Mr. Dauchy
has patriotic principles and has with
held his application for patent in order
to give the United . States Government
an opportunity to acquire exclusive
rights to the explosive.
Mr. Dauchy has interested a corps of
engineers, who have made thorough tests
of the invention and pronounce it to be
valuable. A company has been financed
to manufacture the explosive and
powderworks wille erected not far from
Portland in the near future.
The following engineers were present
when experiments were made which
proved the value of the new explosive
Thomas M. Rogers, M. H; H. L. Neville,
E. M.: R. A. Vaughn, M. E.. E. M .;
J. Merrill. M. E.; C. H. Dauchy, Ch. El
and 3D. E. Hoffman, E. M. Tests were
made of the value of the new explosive
lor use in blasting rocks and stumps and
for use In firearms, and in all cases it
was found to have about twice the
strength of any explosive hitherto in
vented. The engineers proclaim that the
discovery of this compound marks the
advent of one of the most safe and
powerful explosives ever Invented, owing
to the safety and simplicity with which
it can be made and used.
The main points of superiority claimed
for the new explosive are that It con
tains no sulphuric or nitric acids; it does
not produce noxious gases when ex
ploded ; it does not require thawing, and
It is always ready tor use at any atmos
pheric temperature; it holds its strength
indefinitely; It does not require a de

the only means by which it can be ex

WILL RUN ANOTHER WEEK
"Girl of the Golden West" to Close
Season at Bungalow.
"The public simply will not let us
stop." said Manager George L Baker,
when questioned last night about the
report that "The Girl of the Golden
XV est' would be continued again next
week. The Bungalow lias been packed,
jammed at every performance this week.
and hundreds turned away disappointed
because they could not get seats, some
of them having come from nearbv
towns, such as Vancouver, Oregon City
and Astoria on purpose to see it.
Manager Baker announced that the
play will go on next week, which is
the final week of the Baker Company
this season. "Under Two Flags." pre
viously announced and extensively ad
vertised, will be held over until next
season. All those holding regular sea
son seats at the Bungalow will take
notice that the seats will not be re
served for the coming week at all un
less the theater is notified at once. The
evening curtain rises at 8 o'clock sharp,
and the matinee at 2. and no one can
be seated while it is up. Children un
der five are not admitted except at the
Saturday matinee.

GREAT ACT TONIGHT
Theatrical Managers Will Do
Real Work at Benefit.
READY TO MAN W00DSAWS
Many Other Features on Programme
to Be Given at Baker Theater
to Help Swell Fund for
Rose Festival.
Portland theatrical managers will do
few moments' actual work tonieht.
The occasion will be the Rose Festival
benefit at the Baker Theater when a
feature of the programme will be a
wood-sawing contest in which the local
anager who wins out gets a silver
loving cup.
In a programme made un of eood
things from one end to the other, this
wood-sawing act will necessarily take
first place. It is something novel to see
a theatrical manager work. As a rule,
they take their food In capsule form to
avoid toil of mastication. Hence the
novelty of seeing a whole crowd of
them sawing wood.
John A. Johnson, of Pantages. and
George Ij. Baker, of f.everal theaters.
are the favorites in the betting up to
this time. Both will weigh in at better
than 200 pounds, ringside, while the
others are all in the welter, middle
weight and lightweight class. Johnson
and Baker both have large biceps,
gained by honest toil back in the days
preceding wealth and fame. ' Calvin
Hellig, W. T. Pangle. Dan Flood, John
F. Cordray. Milton Seaman and James
Erlckson all have their backers In the
contest.
Under the rules of this herculean
contest, the manager who saws off two
pieces first and holds them above his
head wins the trophy. Ordinary wood
saws will be used. The application of
Manager Baker to have a buzzsaw
operated by electricity put In for his
especial benefit was turned down by
Harry L. Holmes, who Is managing
the benefit.
The programme will be made up from
acts presented by both local and pro
fessional talent. Each of the playhouses
will send several acts. Four local acts
will be presented. The very best avail
able material has been utilized and
a show worth while is assured.
The advance sale opened briskly at
the Baker, yesterday morning. The de
mand for seats continued all day and
more than two-thirds of the house was
sold out at closing time yesterday after
noon. Roses for Business Men.
J. H. Nolta and W. J. Peddlcord, of
the Peninsula Rose Association, with six
young girls dressed in white, will be
at the Union Depot tomorrow morning
to present roses to the business men
arriving. The roses will come from the
Peninsula.
