ber of active workers were present.
The other places considered were the
Gipsy Smith Auditorium and the Ar
mory. It will be somewhat more expensive

the proceedings.
The field Is near the Gipsy Smith
Auditorium, so that. In case of rain,
av meeting could be adjourned to It
without much trouble. Final action
was not taken on the subject, but It
seems to be the general belief that
the Held will be selected. From every
standpoint, save expense, this place
was favored and the board of directors
of the Multnomah Athletic Club have
said they will co-operate in every pos
sible manner with the committee of
100, In whose hands lies tne oeiaii
of entertainment, etc.. for the great
wnrirf conference. The meeting yes

Pr. Foster spoke briefly, urging the
rreatest possible co-operation on be
half of the business men of the city,
as well as all good citizens, to the
end that this conference may be made
a a-rand success.
C C. Chapman gave an outline of
the work that has been accomplished
up to the present time, saying that the
publicity alone has well repaid the
city for Its work and tne money ex
pended, and reported that 12.500 of
the $15,000 promised for the -National
support has been sent East. He said
the remainder will be sent before long.
Five thousand dollars must be ob
tained for the local work. A great
deal of publicity has been given the
event, said Mr. Chapman, and. among
other things, he told the members that
the June Sunset Magazine will con
tain a full story of the coming cob.

campaign combined.
"The work is coming on to a more
effectively organized basis," he
said, "and we. are encouraged to be
lieve that the entire amount will be
raised before our campaign Is con
cluded. The oeonle of the city have
proved that they believe emphatically
in the value of the Rose Festival to
the city, and they have been backing
up their confidence with liberal bud
scriotlons."
Renlles to the letters sent out last

pledges are being received from hun

WORLD MEET TALKED
KEY.
JAMES M'GA W STEAKS TO
ROTAKY CLUB.
Conference Here June 3 8 to July
Three Tears in Building, De
clares Secretary In Address.
"The World's Christian Citizenship
Conference which will meet In Portland
June 26 to July 6 has been three years
building," said Rev. James .McGaw,
field secretary of the conference In an
address before the Rotary Club Monday
at Its luncheon at the Commercial
Club. "And since we began preparing
for It and Portland was selected as the
place of meeting, there has not been a
day In which Portland and the World's
Christian Citizenship Conference was
not presented to the people of the en
tire United States through the columns
of the press.
"It is to be a conference looking to
ward . definite action," he said, "not
merely to talk things over and then
return home. The programme will set
definite action to be taken In bringing
to pass the better social conditions for
which we seek and we Intend then to
line up and unite the forces of good In
the United States to carry out that
programme."
A committee of five will be appoint
ed from the Rotary Club to co-operate
with the committee of 100 of the
World's Christian Citizenship Confer
ence in preparations lor the opening
of the big gathering. '
The Rotary Club authorized the ex
ecutive committee to take steps for
the relief of the sufferers in the Omaha
cyclone from the funds of the club. A
movement for similar action in all the
Rotary Clubs of the United States and
of Canada will be Instituted.
The olub voted $50 for use in the
garden contest among the schools. An
nouncement was made by the commit
tee on preparation for the Rotary Club
night at the People's Theater, April 8,
that the seats are all sold out and the
preparations for the show are very
nearly completed.
FORECAST MORE CHEERFUL
Weather Official Believes Spring; Fi
nally Has Right of Way.
In agreable contrast to the nip of
Winter that had been felt for nearly a
week, yesterday had a fair suggestion
of Spring In It and, for a time at least,
the sun was out in the approved fash
Ion for late March In Oregon.
The temperature, although down
within one degree of freezing early in
the morning, rose and brought the at
mosphere to a comfortable condition
throughout the greater portion or tne
day.
The Weather Forecaster is Inclined
to believe that the back of the Winter
Is broken in Oregon and that there
need be little fear of much more un
pleasant weather. Rain Is predicted for
today, but the temperature probably
will remain at a comfortable stage.
"FOLLIES" FORGES
READY FOR FRAY
Parade at. Noon Will Include
Band of 50 Pieces and .
Platoon of Police.
FUND FOR NEEDY ACTORS
"George Ii. Baker in Skirts" and
Other Alluring- Baits Given to
Attract Public to Perform
ance of "Kast Ijynne."
The great day has arrived. The the
ater managers of Portland will pa
rade Broadway at noon and present
their burlesque of "East Lynne . at
the Beilig tonight. After-show rehear
sals are over, the families of the-the
ater moguls are breathing sighs of re
lief, the fuss and bustle they have en
dured for a month past being about
to come to and end, and the managers
themselves are buoyant with the
knowledge that an awful burden will
be off their shoulders tonight.
Thursday, March 27, the date that Is
blazoned on posters and has peeped up
at everybody from the newspapers for
more than a month, has arrived at
last. Now for the "1913 Follies" the
greatest ever and for a sight of
George L. Baker In skirts.
Today's parade is the first excite
ment to be considered. The theater
managers will assemble at noon, prob
ably at the Broadway end of the Ba
ker Theater subway, and exhibit them
selves for an hour on Broadway and
elsewhere. Details, of the parade have
not been divulged, but it is known that
the ten actor-showmen will be in au
tomobiles, that a platoon of police will
accompany them, that a band of 100
pieces will be at the head of the line
and that Sam E. Kramer witn niB
coach and four will be the pilot of the
pageant, keeping a safe distance from
the blare of trumpets and from the ten
theater managers In captivity.
Cast ASivem Again.
Of course, big banners will be a fea
ture of the parade, and It is more than
likely that every banner will draw
particular attention to the role tnat
each manager Is to portray In "East
Lynne," the burlesque that Is to fea
ture the "191J Follies" at the Heilig
tonight. Here Is the cast, which is
printed again, with the advice that you
cut it out and put it in your hat for
reference at the Helllg tonight:
Lady Isabel and Madame Vine (dual
role) ' uforga .u. nttnci
Barbara Hare John A. Johnson
Archibald Carlyle -TV. T. Pangle
Sir Francis Levison Frank Cofflnberry
Miss Carlyle. "Corner" Dan Flooa
Joyce, female family servant, H. TV. Rierons
Dick Hare ...Milton Seaman
Lord Mount Severn Ltrry n-eating
Little Willie John F. eoraray
Policeman Calvin Helllg
The burlesque of "East Lynne will
not be the whole show, as ten stellar
acts selected from the artists at the
Orpheum, Empress, Pantages, Lyric
and the city's cabarets will entertain
the multitude at the Helllg while it
waits for the actor-managers to lace
up and bewig themselves for the bur
lesque. In addition to this entertain
ment, astounding novelties will be on
display in the lobby and foyer nT the
Heilig. Utmost secrecy surrounds these
novelties, "Bill" Pangle, Milton Seaman
and John F. Cordray, tneir creators,
deciding to let no one in on the novelty
secret until tonight.
Light Effects Are Special.
The Heilig will be a blaze of light
for the "1913 Follies." Electricians
worked all of yesterday and last night
in stringing wires that an electric sun
may shine tonight and be a beacon to
beckon everjody to see the theater
managers at their best as actors and at
the same time help a fund that Is gar
nered for distribution among needy
stage folk.
The ticket sale thus far has been
most encouraging and every box office
sign known to showmen indicates that
the Heilig will be crowded tonight
with persons who have been looking
forward to March 27 as the day they
could laugh themselves into a spasm
at sight of George Baker and other
prominent citizens in petticoats.
Weber's Juvenile Orchestra will give
a concert, beginning at 7:30 o'clock,
when the doors of the Helllg will be
thrown open to welcome the thousands
attracted by the follies.
DREDGING . STILL FAVORED
North Portland Commercial CInb to
Proceed With Petitions.
The North Portland Commercial Club
will proceed with the circulation of
petitions for 'forming a drainage dis
trict on the Peninsula by dredging Co
lumbia Slough for sewerage purposes
and a channel of ships, and will not
consider the proposed compromise
measure adopted at Woodlawn last Fri
day of opening the Intake at the head
of the slough. At a meeting of the
committee from the club held yesterday
at Kenton It was decided to go ahead
with the petitions and give the property-owners
on the Peninsula oppor
tunity to decide what they want to do.
These petitions ask the County Court
to call an election to submit the ques
tion of forming this drainage district,
as part is outside the city, under the
act of the Legislature of 1909. If the
measure carries the act provides for
the appointment of a commission to
handle the finances of the district with
authority to issue bonds and dredge
the slough. The territory to be Includ
ed has been marked out by the City
Engineer and Includes part of St. Johns.
The decision of the committee from
the North Portland Commercial Club
to go ahead with the drainage district
places two propositions before the
property-owners of the Peninsula one
to open the Intake at an expenditure
of approximately 325,000 to be appro
priated by the city, and the second the
formation of a drainage district and
dredging Columbia Slough at a cost of
about 3650.000. It is contended by the
advocates of the drainage district that
the opening of the intake will not be
sufficient, as the fall from there to
the mouth at the Willamette River Is
so slight that the expected current in
Columbia Slough will not be sufficient
to carry off sewerage and that the
slough must be dredged in the end.
PHEASANTS SEEN IN CITY
Male Bird Captured on Front Street
and Shipped to The Dalles.
When one Chinese pheasant forsakes
his native fields and comes snooping
into the business centers of the- city, it
is .a sufficiently striking Incident, but
when two others appear unconcernedly
in the streets of the residence section,
well In from the city limits, it begins
to appear that the pheasants must be
familiar with the protection that is
thrown about them by the game laws.
Pheasant number one was reported
from Front street yesterday, where he
was found and eventually captured by
George Rice, of Rice & Co., and shipped
to F. A. Seufert in The Dalles, with
instructions to turn him loose in more
appropriate surroundings. How he
came to be on Front street Is a mys
tery, but the fact remains that he was
there, apparently not greatly worried
over what might befall him.
Pheasant number two was accompa
nied by his mate, and electrified the
residents about East Twenty-sixth and
Weldler streets by strutting out from
the scanty underbrush on a vacant lot
and promenading on the pavement for
several minutes, while the more timid
hen sat on the embankment and wait
ed for him. This pair was not inter
fered with, but returned to the under
brush when they got tired of playing
in the street.
ITEM RECALLS LONG AGO
Traffic Manager Woodworth Spoken
Of as "Clerk in Office."
A few weeks ago A. C. Sheldon, gen
eral agent In Portland for the Burling
ton railroad, read under the column
headed "Twenty-five Years Ago" In The
Oregonlan, an Item about J. G. Wood-
worth, clerk In the Northern Faclfle
freight office. Mr. Woodworth now is
traffic manager for the same road, so
Mr. Sheldon clipped the item and sent
It to him.
Yesterday he received this reply:
"Your clipping received. Thanks. Yes,
lot can happen In 25 years."
Comparative Digestibility
of Food
Made with different Baking Powders
From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with
each of three different kinds of baking powder cream of
tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted separately to
the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length
of time.
The relative percentage of the food digested is shown
as follows:
Bread made with .
Royal Cream of Tartar Powder:
100 Per Cent Digested
Bread made with
phosphate powder:
684 Per Cent. Digested
Bread made with
alum powder:
67 Per Cent Digested!
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprej
udiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone:
Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder,
is shown to be entirely digestible, while the alum and
phosphate powders are found to largely retard the diges
tion of the food made from them.
Undigested food is not only wasted, food, but it is the
source of very many bodily ailments.

PORTLAND GIVEN CHANCE
Senator Lane Reports Quartermas
ter Will Inclnde City in Bids.
Portland will be included again in
the opportunity for Paciflo Coast cities
to bid for the transfer of freight and
passengers to Manila, Guam and other
Pacific points, according to a letter re
ceived yesterday at the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce from Senator Harry
Lane.
Secretary Giltner recently wrote to
the Senator calling his attention to the
fact that specifications and propositions
issued calling for the trans-Paclnc con
tracts for 1913-14 call only for transfer
from Seattle and Tacoma.
"Portland should be included again,'
wrote Mr. Giltner, "as the Hamburg
American line will run from this port
to Oriental ports on a regular schedule
from now on, but we have to make a
continual fight In order to get our share
of these matters.
"As fast as I can find out where trade
advantages have been taken away from
Portland which properly belong here,
in connection with the Army and Navy,
I will report to you."
Senator Lane's reply, received yester
day, follows:
"Your favor of the 11th instant was
duly received, and I at once took up
with the Secretary of War the matter
of the Inclusion of Portland as a trans
fer point for freight and passengers to
Manila, Guam, etc The Chief of the
Quartermaster Corps, U. S. Army, now
Informs me that the Depot Quarter
master at Seattle advises that his ad
vertisement and circulars for trans-Pa-clflo
transportation will Include Port
land, and that the Depot Quartermaster
at San Francisco and the Quartermaster
at Portland have been directed to invite
bids for this transportation, and all
circular proposals will Include Portland,"
