To insure harmony among the members of the Portland Rose Society and to meet as fully as possible, the wishes of the women members. President Drake last night made arrangements for the use of the Armory for the Rose Show next Tues- dav and Wednesday. Delighted at prompt acquiescence In their wishes, the women have promised Dr. Drake that they will support him faithfully. He received assurances last nieht from both Mrs. R. H. Birdsall and Mrs. John Minto that they will work in cessantly in order that the Armory snail te decorated in time. They promised at the same time to persuade all the mem hers of the decorating committee and the different district commitees to renew their offers of support. Original Opinion I'nchanged. President Drake said he was delighted to fulfill the strongly expressed desires of the women, but is yet convinced that the Exposition Skating Rink was the bet ter place for the Rose Snow. "We were informed previously that we could not have the Armory," he said, "and, in addition, the rate asked Is much higher than that asked by Mantu-w Jones of the skating rink. "After considering all buildings. Mr. Hutchin and I decided on the Expoultion building, and that was submitted to and unanimously agreed upon by the execu tive board of the Rose Society. Manager Hutchin, of the Rose Festival Association, said that It was a mistake to assume that J125 a day was being paid for the Exposition Rink. The correct fig ure, he said, was $100 for the four days, two of which would be occupied by the show and two in the di&mantling pro. cesses. An additional $50 was also quoted In the contract in the event that the Rose Society desired to conduct the refresh ment concession. Hoyt Within His Rights. - "The contract was made by President Hoyt," he said, "and as the building Is being paid for by the Rose Festival Asso ciation, he was wholly within his. rights. "We rejected the Armory, first, because prior arrangements had been made for it occupancy and, secondly, because the heat there will wilt the roses. "I tried to arrange for one of the 1905 fair buildings, but Fred Mann, the cus todian, ordered me to remove even our shelves from the California building. As to the Washington building, the roof leaks and If there were to be wet weather the women's gowns would have been spoiled. I don't want anyone to believe that we had any ulterior motive In mak lng this arrangement, for we tried to do , the best possible." Manager Jones will Insist on the pay ment of his contract price. It is agreed that the Exposition building is safe for any crowd. Mr. Jones and the Rose Festival Association have a certificate from A. S. Holmes, of the City Engineer's office, that the building is safe in this respect. That the unpleasant odor no ticed by the women was the stuffy smell In the mornins following closing of the building all night immediately after the skating is asserted. Jones' Price I vow. Manager Jones placed the services of , his employes at the disposal of the Rose . Society. He said that he felt that as he would have lost money, he would have to hold to his contract to vindicate him self In the eyes of Portland people. In ' consideration of the low price charged, ' Festival officials promised to see that Mr. Jones was credited with subscribing $130 to the funds of the association. In place of a cash subscription, Mr. Jones ar- ranged to put in special lights and other wise to make preparations for the show. He invites inspection of the building this afternoon. Mrs. Birdsall last night said that any ' comment that she made regarding the Insecurity of the Exposition Rink referred to the enormous crowds that would be gathered there for the Rose Show. She believed the building to be safe for roller skating. Masons io Visiting. SALEM. Or.. June 2. (Special. )- About 20 Salem Masons drove to Rick reall.

Tetrazzini the world-famous soprano, says: "Hardman Is My Choice Really no musical instrument has ever won as many ad mirers among artists (people who know) as the Hard man Autotone. - The great Caruso says: "It is the most artistic player piano." Campanini, the great conductor of Grand Opera, bought one. Zanatello, the world-famous tenor, wrote: "Please send me an Autotone." "I prefer it to the human accompanist," says M. Renaud, the baritone. Scotti says: "It is a revelation." Bonci says: "I can play the great compositions now as easily as I sing them." Emmy Destinn, the world 's greatest dramatic soprano, writes : "My Autotone is a real joy." Leo Slezak, the great tenor, says: "It is the best player piano of them all." The average player-piano is good, but not artistic. It is not alone the "Accentor," nor the "Transposer," nor the music "Ad juster" that makes the Autotone the Artist's choice. The combiuation of all these a perfect playing mechanism built into the case of a piano of superb tonal quality, by piano makers of the highest repute and long standing produces the player-piano for your home.
