Fraaehts for th tmi-lowr ear Una on Eaat TwsntT-slahth street will a applied (or at eace. and construction will be started as aoon as possible so that the line mar be completed and In operation this year, waa announced yes terday at the luncheon ox the cast tilde Business Men s Club. Franklin T. Griffith, president-elect and T. W. Hlld. or th Portland Kail war. LlKbt at Power Company, and Robert Krohn. physical director of the Portland public schools, were guests of the dub. Representative were present from It different clrle organi sation a of the city, mainly from the East Side, more than 100 being present to hear the prospective head of the traction company speak on tn street car situation. Mr. Grirath Promises) Lias. "I am clad to be here and confer with the business men or this com munity." said Mr. Griffith, "and I only hop that this mill not bs the last time I shall have this honor. Too often the differences between the people and the public service corporations dlsap near when they rt together, and when we ran l(et Into closer touch with the people. I believe that the people 01 Portland are Inclined to be fair to the public service corporations. Often the strestcar company must ouua a line for the convenience of the publlo which mar not be profitable. There Is a great sentiment for a cross-town car Una on the East Side, and we are rotns; to build this connecting- line, and I bop you will not be disappointed. Produclna- a map. Mr. Griffith aald: "You will see In the South Eaat Bide East Forty-first street occupied for one mile by the Woodstock car line with a slna-la track. Th propsrty owners propose to Improve that street, and the company will build a double track according to th practice of laying double tracks where hard-surface pave ment la put down. Reate ef Lla Gives. "Th proposed cross-town car line start at the Intersection of Hawthorne avenue and Eaat Twenty-ninth street, aad runs north to Eaat Stark street, thence on East Ptark to East Twenty eighth street, and thence north on East Twsnty-ela-hlh street to a connection with the Broadway car line on Eaat Twenty-fourth street. which runs northward through Alameda Park. Thla line will be three miles long. It will connect with all the East elide lines sscept the Woodstock. It Intersects the lines on Hawthorne avenue. Bel mont. Montavllla. Pandy boulevard and connects with the Broadway car line on East Twenty-fourth street. -We hope tbat thla line will grow In popularity. It will not be profitable at the etart. but It will be a great con venience to the people. We shall apply for a franchise at one, aad hop to get the track down and the cars Into operation this year. I am sure that great good will com from such gatherings as these. We do not want to light you nor want you to fight us. We hop w can get to gether on such propositions on a fair showing on both sides of th case. All wa want Is a square deal." E. Lennard. chairman, spok of the Roa Festival and Introduced Robert Krohn, who pointed out what Is neces sary to make th children's parade a success. After showing how much work Is added to th principals and teachers, be said: rarest Ce-Operattoa Asked. "To mak this parade a success something shruld be done to get the parents Interested and get them back of tha movement. If we ran get the enthusiastic support of the parents much of th problem Is solved. I am expected to drill the children, and I am glad to do what I can. but we must have the children, and In order to get the children we must have tha co operation of the parents. The Board of Education can only urge children to enter the parade, and can do no more, and so If we are to make-the parade a success let us secure the co operation of the parents. It la a great mistake to suppose tbat th marching on Grand avenue exhausts th children. It Is a short march and not half as tiresome as to stand on the street and watch the parade. Th children are taken care of from the time the parade etarta until the end." SNAKE FARM SCARES GIRLS Small Boys Terrorise Women and Children With "Wrljrglera." Rushing to Tenth street, between Jefferson and Columbia streets, yes terday In response to frantle telephone ralla from mother whose small daugh ters war being scared Into hysterics, Thomas E.

Aware of their harmlessness th little fellows were wearing the snakes as bracelets and around their necks when the Juvenile officer put In his ap pearance. At first they showed hlra only thre of th wrigglers, which were promptly despatched, and stoutly de rutred they bad no more. One little fellow, however, more hoaeat than Ms fallows, led Fisher to a hole la the ground where there were II more. The boys were chasing little girls and throwing snskee at them. They had th whole neighborhood In an up roar. MOVE MADEJO BLOCK HILL O.-W. R. ex X.

Mr. Prevost Is a Stanford graduate ana is in Business in Chicago. th rate for crossing tha bridge fixed by the Commission. Th petition sets forth the unique plea that tha Spokane, Portland & Seat tie commonly knokn as the North Bank road has no legal right to operate be yond Ita depot at Eleventh and Hoyt streets, which. It says, the North Bank's charter provides, as Its legal physical termination. Inasmuch as the North Bank proposes to operate only freight tralna acrosa the bridge, the contention la mad that It will not b a common carrier In a legal sense and therefore not entitled to the common-user priv ilege of the bridge.
