Brilliant Commencement Exer

Presbyterian Church.
CLASS LARGEST IN YEARS
Miss Mary Elizabeth Warrack Re
ceives Four Prizes In Excel
lence In Studies William
Reagor's Oratory Wins.
In a scene which made the First
Presbyterian Church look like a para
dise, Portland Academy last night held
its annual commencement. A class of
62, the largest In years, was graduated.
In it was one of the brightest students
the Academy has ever had. Miss Mary
Elizabeth Warrack. who was the re
cipient of four special prizes for ex
cellence in studies.
The music and the large number to
receive certificates made the affair
an attraction which became so popu
lar that several hundred had to be
turned away from the doors.
The Girls' Glee Club of the Academy
made a splendid presentation. The
young ladies have been well trained
and their selections of last night all
called for encores. Each repetition
called for another until the audience
nearly forgot the purpose of the even
ing. The declamatory part of the pro
gramme was presented by members of
the Academy in competition for the
prizes offered by the best speaker.
AVIlllam Rracor First.
William Paul Reagor, because of his
delivery and his subject, "The Inaugural
Address of Wilson," received the first
prize of 130. Alta Juanita Rickards
was awarded second prize for her pres
entation of "The Rhymes of the Duchess
May," by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
The decision was made by J. B. Kerr,
Robert G. Hall. Eugene Brookings, Rev.
J. D. Corby. L. D., and Professor LeRoy
Bliss Peckham. Mr. Reagor was a
popular choice as first, but second was
a matter of deliberation.
The decorations of the evening were
beautiful. The front part of the church
was a mass of roses. Each of the girls
carried an armful of fragrant blooms,
while huge vases of roses broke the
bleakness of the walls of the church.
Glrla Garbed in White.'
The girls of the class were beautiful

PORTSMOUTH TOPS SECOND
Falling and Eliot Follow in Section,
hut Third' Division Requires An
other Visit by Judges, Who
Find Task Difficult.
Prizes were awarded in the School
Garden contest last night after the
Judges had passed from 9 o'clock in
the morning until 7 o'clock In the even
ing inspecting the 28 gardens. The
prizes in the first class, which in
cluded gardens more than 110 by 100
feet, were awarded as follows: First
prize, Woodlawn, $25; second. Glencoe,
$15; third. Rose City Park, $10.
Honorable mention in this class was
given to Mount Tabor, Peninsula and
Woodstock.
In the second class, including the gar
dens 110 by 100 feet or less, the prizes
were: First, Portsmouth, $15; second.
Failing, $10: third. Eliot, $5.
In awarding the third prize to the
smaller gardens the judges had a hard
time to decide between Eliot, Highland
and Kern schools, a second trip being
necessary to each of these places. The
Holladay, Davis and Brooklyn schools
also received honorable mention in this
class.
There is a special fcrize in tho high
school class, which will go to Jeffer
son High School.
Conch and Alnsworth Commended.
The children of the Couch Und Alns
worth schools were especially com
mended by the judges for the fine
showing they were able to make with
extremely poor soil.
Merrill O. Evans, of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College, who directed the
garden work In the city, was warmly
congratulated.
The members of the party were en
tertained at luncheon by the ' women
of the Woodstock Methodist Episcopal
Church. After luncheon short addresses
were made by L II. Alderman, the newly
elected Superintendent of Schools, Judge
M. 0. Munly, Professor C. J. Lewis of
the Agricultural College, and others.
The Woodlawn garden was the last
visited by the inspectors. While there
was some uncertainty as to the place
to be held by the other gardens there
was absolutely no question in regard to
Woodlawn as it scored higher in almost
all points. The points upon which the
gardens were scored were arrangement
and correctness of planting, freedom
from weeds, perfection of growth and
soil condition. The Woodlawn garden
is 186 by 36G feet in area. This garden
contains features not even attempted in
any of the others.
Woodlawn Gets) 4J.-W. R. fc N. Cup.
There are sample rows of every kind
of vegetables grown in Oregon: a spe
cial plot devoted to industrial products.
Including flax, cotton, coffee, millet.
cane, kaffir corn, hulless barley, hemp.
and a vast number of other products.
One plot is devoted to- old-fashioned
flowers, near by is a 20th century flow
er garden; grains of various kinds oc
cupy still another part. The Woodlawn
garden also was awarded for the sec
ond time the cup given for the larg
est percentage of children 'enrolled
from one school. Five h"iidred and
eighty children had part in the mak
ing of this garden. The Woodlawn
gardeners will also carry off the O.
W. R. & N. cup for the largest variety
of vegetables grown In any one gar
den. The Glencoe garden, winner of the
second prize, is 150 feet square. The
children of this school have been great,
ly annoyed by having their vegetables
and flowers stolen. The Rose Olty
Park garden's most distinctive feature
was a series of flower beds, surround
ing the entire vegetable area.
The members of the party were so
impressed by the showing made by the
first, second and third grade pupils
in the Lownsdale and Kenton districts
that they decided to make up a spe
cial prize for each, which will be an
nounced later.
HARVARD HUMBLES YALE

trailing and splashing as the men
went automatically through the
motions of rowing with neither catch
or snap to their blade work.
So far as the English stroke as
taught by Advisory Coaches Kirby and
Gold of Oxford was concerned, the Yale
oarsmen appeared to get considerable
power and speed early in the race, but
when the crucial test came at the mile
and a half mark they did not hold to
their coaching under the strain.
In speaking of the efforts and
resultant effects of the Yale crew In
connection with the English stroke,
after a month's practice, an amateur
oarsman said last night:
"The stroke taught by Messrs. Kirby
and Gold Is all right in itself, but it
is not adapted for use by American
crews, except after a most gruelling
and lengthy preparatory course of
training preceding actual work in the
shell. The strain upon the stomach
and loin muscles is terrific and no
crew in my opinion, can go four miles
with that stroke unless they are espe
cially fitted by four years of prelim
inary work at muscular strain that the
stroke Imposes."
Bine Ahead for Moment.
This opinion was borne out by the
Yale showing. Starting with a 36 to
the minute stroke, the Ell oarsmen
Jumped Into the lead and for a moment
the Blue shell showed in front. Then
the Harvard 40-to-the-mlnute clip
began to tell. It was nip and tuck for
a few hundred yards and then the
Crimson eight Towed slowly Into a
fair lead. It was between the half
and the mile mark that Yale made Its
best showing. They battled their way
to even terms again Just as the mile
flags were reached and that was Yale's
last stand. From that point the Blue
slipped gradually back.
At the mile and a half flags Harvard
showed open water before Yale, and
Crocker, the Yale stroke, was using a
most exaggeratea stroke, his head al
most disappearing below the gunwale
as he reached forward and finishing
with a backward tilt that threatened to
throw him into the lap of Lippincott in
No. 7. Still stroking 36 to Yale's 32
Harvard had a lead of 2 lengths at
the two miles and gained steadily
tnerearter.
Harvard Spnrta at Finish.
Half a mile from the bridge Harvard
dropped her stroke to 32, yet at thatled
by six lengths and then in the final
burst of victory hit It up again to 40

while 11 lengths behind, the Blue was
wavering at 26 strokes a minute.
The four-oared race was little more
than a procession. Harvard took the
lead at 9:30, when the referee's pistol
sent the crews away, and steadily in
creased it- At the finish of the tw
miles, five lengths separated victor
and vanquished. The official finishing
times of the two fours indicates the
difference in speed, for Harvard
crossed the line In 11 minutes 52 sec
onds, while Yale was over in 12 min
utes 11 seconds. ,
Freshmen Crews In Real Race.
The struggle for honors between the
first-year crews, however, was a real
race. Although the crimson won.' the
showing of the Eli youngsters was ex
cellent. Both eights caught the water
at the bridge at 10:32. and raced up
river toward the two-mile mark at 38
strokes to the minute. In the ODeninc
dash Harvard showed a little more fin
ish and drive in its stroke, and grad
ually nosed into the lead until 'at the
first half-mile mark the Cambridge
crew led by half a length, showing 3S
strokes to the minute against Yale's
Passing through the long lane of
yachts to the mile mark, both eights
rowed steadily. Harvard dropped to
a 36 mark, but had Increased her ad
vantage to a full length at the mile.
Here the blue youngsters started a
spurt that set the Yale clan shouting.
Jumping their stroke to 36 and then
to 38, they gradually cut down the
crimson lead to a scant half length at
the mile and a half mark. Still rowing
smoothly, the New Haven combination
worked the stroke up to 40, and it be
gan to appear as though Yale would
nip their rivals before the finish was
reached.
Crimson Has Reserve Poorer.
Harvard's freshmen eight had pow-
creased Its stroke until both crews
were racing at a 40-stroke clip. A
quarter of a mile from the finish the
pace proved too much for the Elis,
who, despite the higli stroke, drifted
back until a scant length separated
tne two shells as they passed between
the finish flags. Both crews finished
the hard race without signs of exces
sive physical exhaustion, and held per
fect stroke form until the end. So far
as could be judged from the average
spectator's point of view, tlfere was
very little difference between the so-
called Wray stroke and the English
stroke rowed by the j ale freshmen.
The Yale crew used the English meth
od of seating, and thole pin oar locks
in place of the swivel outrigger of the
Harvard shell.
There was nothing to indicate an
advantage one way or the other in
these differing forms of shell rigging.
and the crews appeared to win and
lose on physical form and rowing tech
nique, as in past years.
The closeness of the race was shown
by the fact that only four seconds sep
arated winner and loser. Harvard fin
ished the two miles in 10:41. as against
Yale's time of 10:45.
FOSTER CDHTRAGT VOID
SCHOOL. BOARD TO COMPLETE
AINS WORTH Bl'ltDlXG.
Contractors, Failing to Appear at
Final Hearing, Directors End Con
troversy long Drawn Out.
Neither of the partners in the firm of
Foster & Co. appearing at the meeting
of the School Board last night, which
was held for a final hearing in the con
troversy over the termination of the
contract on the Ainsworth School build
ing, the Board decided, after considera
tion of the case, to abide by its former
action and declined to give Foster &
Co. further hearing. The district will
finish the work itself. Several sub
contractors on the Job were present and
their relation to Foster & Co. in the
work was discussed at length.
Since the termination of the contract
about a month ago. several meetings
have been held, all of which achieved
nothing beyond a discussion of the
reasons for delay in construction of
the Ainsworth School and reiterated
demands from Foster & Co. for the
privilege of going ahead and finishing
it. Sub-contractors, however, who ap
peared at the hearings repeatedly re
fused to allow another stick of material
to go into the job until they were paid
by Foster &. Co.- for materials already
used.
Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, secretary of
the Child Labor Commission, appeared
at the meeting last night and requested
that arrangements - be made whereby
her office may be enabled to secure du
plicates of the school census forms
from the School Board for use in deter
mining disputed cases which come to
her attention Involving the age of chil
dren who are working.
DRAMA APPLICATION URGED
Dr. Burton " Pleads for Patrons to
Benefit From Modern Plays.
With an exhortation to his several
hundred hearers to heed the new note
of social obligation in the modern
drama, to wear it in their hearts away
from the playhouse and into their dally
lives. Dr. Richard Burton closed his
series of four lectures at the Lincoln
High School last night.
Throughout the series Dr. Burton ex
pressed himself for the clean play, the
play that if it must be unpleasant, is
unpleasant not unnecessarily, but only
Insofar as it is necessary to achieve
definite results. And those results,
he declared, should be good. Ibsen's
"Ghosts" was condemned by Dr. Bur
ton because It is unnecessarily patho
logical in analytically depicting insan
ity. "We should. leave such things to
their proper wards In the hospital,"
said Dr. Burton.

Detectives Investigate Offers
of Tom Alexander to
Reveal Treasure.
TRAIN ROBBERY RECALLED
'Spilt Three Ways" Is Demanded,
With One-Third Devoted to Free
ing Imprisoned Man and Bal
ance Divided Kqnally.
Offer3 made by Tom Alexander, a pa
roled convict, to lead Detectives Tlch
enor and Abbot to a spot where money
and valuables worth more than 200,000
are buried are puzzling the detectives,
who believe that, while Alexander can
not do what he pretends, he probably
has some inkling of a real "plant." his
description of the supposed loot an
swering to that which was taken from
a Union Pacific train near Ogden about
three years ago.
Alexander, after serving three years
of a 15-year term from Klamath Fals,
was paroled some months ago and ha3
been in Portland. Yesterday it came
to the ears of the detectives that he
was going about the North End, trying
to enlist someone in a mysterious ex
pedition, and they went after him.
On the way to detective headquarters
Alexander offered to take the detectives
into' his confidence, promising that the
loot should be "split three ways." One
third, he said, must go toward effecting
the release of an unnamed man now In
the State Penitentiary and the remain
der would be divided between himself
and the detectives.
Caah Placed at $100,000.
Except that It Is out of the State of
Oregon, Alexander would give no hint
of the hiding place, but he said it con
tained $150,000 in paper money, $40,000
in gold and a large quantity of jewelry
and registered mail. It would cost
5500 to unearth it. he said.
"Why don't you go after it alone"
he was asked.
"I can't leave the state and, besides,
I have no money. You can hold a gun
on me all the way and if I don't make
good, shoot."
After questioning the man at length
tho detectives summoned Deputy Sher
iff Curtis, who is a state parole officer
and had custody of Alexander while
warden of the Penitentiary. Mr. Curtis
believes that the man in the Peniten
tiary whose release is to be effected is

for a stage holdup and frequently men.
tioned in connection with the train
holdups which have occurred on the
Southern Pacific road at Cow Creek
Canyon. Jergins, however, says Alex
ander, is not the man he refers to.
' Friendly Advice Given.
"Don't be a mutt." whispered Alex
ander to Detective Tichenor, as Curtis
led him away. "The money is there
and you might as well have it as any
one." While no credence Is placed by the
authorities in the story as told by
Alexander, all of them are inclined to
believe that he may have gathered
prison gossip of some significance, as
great quantities of valuables stolen in
a number of train holdups never have
come to light. Deputy Curtis will hold
Alexander for further investigation.
