WOMEN TO PTAJf DKCORATIONS.
President Drake, of the Portland
Rose Society, requests all the women
members of the decorating; committee
and the various women district
chairmen to meet at the home of
Mrs. K. H. Birdsall. 703 Northrup
street, at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
when plans for decorating; the Ar
mory will be fully considered.
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.

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.
In the Hardman Autotone the true artist finds a truly artistic
instrument.
Come to our Warerooms the only place in this city where you
can see the Autotone. Try this wonderful instrument for yourself.
If you have an old piano to exchange we will allow a fair price for
it, and you can pay the balance in convenient monthly payments.
Write us for booklet, which we will be glad to send you free of
charge.

MAYOR COMPLIMENTS MEN
Officers in Spotless Uniforms Are
Praised, Not Alone on Appear
ance, but on Record of
Service for Portland.
Greeted by generous applause from thou
sands of citizens, the police of Portland,
looking their neatest and fittest, marched
through the principal streets of the city
yesterday. It was a splendid exhibition
the five companies of alert and stal
wart officers made, and drew bursts of
appreciative cheering all along the line.
Each man was spick and span in Summer
uniform, with every bit of brass and nick
el shining its brightest.
Headed by Chief of Police Cox, mounted
on a bay pacer, and by the police band, a

men marched from the station at Second

Capttain Moore Commands.
The maneuvers were conducted by Sen
ior Captain Moore, who handled the bat
talion in the cramped quarters of the
Armory with the skill of a veteran. - He
was ably assisted by Sergeant H. Riley,
who acted as adjutant-for the day. The
companies were commanded by Captain
Bailey. Baty and 91over, and Patrolmen
O'Dale' and Graves, both men with mili-
tary experience, and who showed high
skin in tnelr places.
The Army ceremony of dress parade and
review was followed rigidly, the men
forming in battalion front, with open
ranks, while the Mayor and party passed
around them. The men then were passed
in review past Captain Moore, in com
pany front, the band playing inspirtngly.
'xnis was followed by the regular Inspec
tion, each man displaying revolver, club
and handcuffs as the Mayor passed him.
The mounted squad under Sergeant Crate
was then Inspected outside of the Armory
and the street parade followed. The com
mand marched from the Armory to Wash
ington street and through the business
district to headquarters, where it was dis
missed. About 200 persons were at the Armory
to witness the review, many of whom
were the wives and families of officers.
Mayor Simon was highly pleased by the
showing made, and at the end of the in
spection advanced to the center of the
command and said:
"We are proud, not only of the showing
you have made here this morning, but of
the work you have been doing throughout
the past year. The city is proud of you
and I sincerely hope that you will con
tinue the painstaking care and effort to
uphold the law and to make Portland a
city peaceful, as well as a city beautiful.
There is only one thing which mars this
occasion today, and that is the failure of
the manufacturers to forward In time for
presentation at this time the beautiful
medals, which have been ordered for a
token of the esteem of our citizens for
bravery exhibited by certain officers. But
I wish to say that these will soon be here
and that they will be presented, that
those who have shown signal bravery in
the service may know that the City of
Portland honors them for their acts."
Chief of Police Cox responded, thanking
the Mayor In a few words for his kindly
expressions and for his loyal support of
the department.
Police Work Goes On.
During the review the headquarters was
left in charge of Officer Harms, while
Officer Greuber remained on duty with
the patrol wagon. The work of handling
the city's derelicts went on just the same,
a number of prisoners being brought in
by special officers and detectives while
the force was absent.
Colonel C. E. McDonell, formerly of the
Third Regiment, accompanied the inspec
tion party, and complimented Captain
