DEMAND IS VERY STRONG Stores Elsewhere Are Given Oppor tunity to Make Display and llojt Is Confident Plan Will Be Success. Portland will witness the most impos ing Industrial parade ever held In the Paclflo Northwest, if not west of the Rocky Mountains, one nl&ht of the Rose Festival, next June. This procession is to be an added attraction supplementing- the numerous dayliprht and illu minated pageants of the week. It is to be the longest parade ever held in this city. It will be five miles or more In length, and the aperresxate value of the sections which will participate will be at least $1.00(1.000. The demand on the part of the de partment stores, the prominent Jobbers, the wholesale implement dealers, as well as any number of retail shops, for such a turnout lias been so marked that President Ilovt. of the Festival, has de cided the programme must embrace uch a function. Demand Has Been Strong. "Ever since the Festival was origi nated.' says Mr. Hoyt, "there has been a strone; demand on the part of the in dustrial interests of Portland for an ex clusive representation in the functions of the week. Efforts have been made by mar.r of the larfrest mercantile . estab lishments in the city to enter their teams and vehicles, to show their (roods, and ' this has been one of our most delicate m-oblcms to handle, mainly because we have worked on the principle that we should never allow any advertising ot any kind to enter into our endeavors. "We have found, however." continued Mr. Hoyt. "that every city in the coun try which holds such festivities plans to exhibit more or less of the purely busi ness development of the community, and we have decided that thle should be done here. - Pnrtlnt in known as the foremost Jobb.ns and distributing center west of the Rockies, and it is high time that the public at large should have an oppor tunity to see Just what we have in this line. I saw what St. Louis had in the centennial celebration early In October and I Investigated what a number or other cities attempt to do In mis way. but I am convinced that Portland can beat them all. Lists Are Open to All. "We shall open the lists to all the big retail stores and allow them to enter their delivery wagons, earning sucn classes of exhibits as they see fit. We shall permit the shoe stores, tne nai stores, the millinery establishments, the umbrella houses, the bakeries, the res taurants, the factories, the implement houses, one and all to prepare whatever sort of an entry they see nt. in oraer to assist the Industrial feature of the Festival entertainment we shall arrange it so that any business houses that de sire may have the service of our own floa (builders. In that way elaborate en eries can be made at the least possible cost." Only one condition will be Imposed upon the entries in the industrial parade, and that is that each entry shall be suitably decorated in the official color of the Rose Festival. No entry will be accepted without proper "dressing up." This feature of the Festival celebration will be different from any procession, so far as Is known by the management, that has been given in the West. It is to be both educational and spectacular and will be meant to indicate to the Port land public something of the progress that is being made by Portland energy In developing the vast empire of the Jiorthwest.

BOOK SHOWS RECEIPT Tellers Deny Accepting Money for Title Guarantee & Trust Re ceiver Howard Is Defendant. Judge Wolverton to Decide. What became of $160 Mrs. Mary Lough ran, a-milliner, deposited with the Title Guarantee &. Trust Company, on Saturday evening. October 26. 1907, Just previous to the failure of that institution, was a problem presented to the United States Court yesterday. - . Mrs. Loughran sued Robert S. Howard, Jr.. as receiver of the bank, for the money,, which her deposit book showed she had paid on the date mentioned. D. D. Coulson, who was receiving teller, and Willis Magulre, who kept the accounts of the bank at the time the deposit was made, testified yesterday that they had found no record of the deposit, and de nied the money had come into their hands. Judge Wolverton will decide the case Monday. ' .. Mns. Loughran declared on the witness stand that neither of the two witnesses mentioned was the man who had received the money. The only other two men who could have received the money at the time are Lindsley Hall and a man named Byers. who sometimes served as receiv ing tellers. They were not available for testimony yesterday. George P. Lent, att6rney for Mrs. Loughran. insisted that the money may have been taken by an employe of the bank, who. realizing that the institution was about to fail, put the money in his own pockets. He contended the receiver was responsible for the money, neverthe less. William C. BrlBtol. attorney for Receiver Howard, did not question the woman's testimony, but declared it was a puzzle that had not been solved, and insisted that the receiver of the bank could not be held accountable for the money on the evidence presented. L W. R. STRtBLE WOULD MAKE PARK OF CEMETERY. Cremation of Bodies and Building of Artistic Hall Advocated by Albany Man. Mayor Simon yesterday received from Wallace R. Struble. manager of the Al bany Commercial Club, a letter ouillning a plan whereby Lone Fir Cemetery may be beautified. The letter. In part, follows: Having a sentimental interest In Lone Fir Cemetery, I wish respectfully to suggest & solution of the situation which, I appre hend, may serve the double purpose of a memorial for the dead and a beauty spot for the living. . I wish to suggest the creation of Lone Fir Memorial Park, containing a central build ing of appropriate design in which would be placed the dead, reinterment to be pre ceded by cremation. . On the same floor with the receptabte should be placed tab lets in alphabetical order giving the names, etc.. of each deceased. On the second floor of the memorial building, which I would suggest be built somewhat In the shape of a mosque, could be arranged an art or me morial gallery in which, under proper regu lations, could Be hanged the portraits or other memorials of the deceased. . A part of the building might also be set aside as an auditorium for the holding of memorial esercsees, either National or special, from time to time. Let the balance of Lone Fir Cemetery, except that p'art occupied by the memorial mosque and its approaches, be parked in keeping with an accepted design, preserving, so far as possible, the beautiful shrubbery and foliage. Let the "lone fir" tree be pre served and fenced about with a protecting In closure. It seems to me that, with the consent of lot-owners and the Lone Fir Cemeterr Cor poration, together with the co-operation of tne t:uy or roruana, xnis pian. or a moai ficatlon of it, might be successfully carried through. CHIPS AMPLER EVIDENCE Proprietor of Gambling-House Con i vleted Promptly by Jury. Before a jury In the Municipal Court yesterday afternoon, T. Shay, proprietor of the Symposium Club In Hotel ail man, was convicted of conducting a gam bling house. Fourteen men, arrested with him in a raid about a week ago, were found guiltyiof visiting a gambling house. Judge Bennett reserved sentence until today. The decision is one which will have a bearing on future arrests for gambling. It was shown that the Symposium Club, was apparently organized and was be ing conducted purely for the purpose of gambling and "that its quarters consisted of two rooms in the Hotel Gilman build ing. One of the rooms was kept locked and was found to contain all the para phernalia for poker ar.d gambling. Of the 14 men arrested, only one ap peared in court yesterday afternoon. Many hundred poker chips and more than 100 decks of cards were brought into court as evidence. Deputy City Attorney Sullivan, on prosecuting said that the Supreme Court of New York had held that merely the presence of cards, chips and other para phernalia of a gambling game was suffi cient to warrant conviction. The Jury found a verdict of guilty in a few min utes. THE BARB 0N THE HOOK Why Woman Suffragists W ill Not Be Led by Prohibitionists. PORTLAND Nov. 10. tTo the Editor.) I wa9 glad to fee in The. Oregonlan of veaterday that "0 preachers of Denver have begun a Prohibition campaign to put woman suffrage to the test." In other words these preachers are determined to s.! whether or not they can control the votes of women to suit themselves. Brig ham Toung tried this In Utah once upon a time but he couldn't make It work. The women of Utah refused to vote with a hook la the Jaw." n matter what power should attempt to "yank" It. The preach ers of Boise tried the Denver and Salt Lake game last month upon the women .voters with no different result. The women de tected the barb In the hook and in large maioritv refused to vote. The experience of the women of Washington Territory, who lost their votes through unseen collusion between prohibition and the liquor traffic In 1S05-7. are getting their eyes open. With a very few frensled or salaried exceptions they are keeping out of the fight, and the women of Oregon are doling likewise.
