So keen is the interest aroused in
the coming journey of the girls, up and

slighted in this fashion. All of them
are eager to do homage to the Festival

Maypole and i'olk Dances Given by
Little Girls While Boys Contest
in Sprints, Sack Kaces
and Other Tests.
Jupe Pluvius had nothing on South
Portland, yesterday, although he was
out in full strength.

by the smiles on the faces of five acres
of "kids" who were out in their Sunday
best to make the first annual May fes
tival of the Neighborhood House a
howling success. A little thing like a
drizzling rain made no difference; the
May-pole dance, folk dances, sack races.

runs went just the same. '

lawn of Multnomah County Hospital,
across the street from the Neighborhood

hundreds of grown-ups living in the
vicinity. Nobody seemed to be aware
of the fact that rain was falling dur
ing the greater part of the perform
ance.

exercises before but past performances-!
have not compared with that of yester
day. Every feature of a long pro

showed the interest which the children
are taking in play-ground and school
work.

auspices of the Neighborhood House
and under the direction of Robert
Krohn. It consisted of a May-pole
dance, various kinds of pretty folk
dances for little girls and all kinds of
athletics for small boys. The girls
were attired in thir dantiest Sunday
frocks, while the boys appeared with
expanded chests and manly gestures
in sleeveless sweaters and half-length
trunks and running shoes.
The programme was started at 2:30
o'clock with a May-pole dance in which
about 0 little girls took part- Amidst
the cheering of the wide circle of in
terested spectators the little girls went
through" the graceful movements Inci
dent to "winding the poie." SJuaic was
furnished by an orchestra from the
Neighborhood House.
After this the folk dances were giv
en by two circles of girls, one of little
ones, ranging in age from six to 10
years, and the other comprising girls
from eight to 15 years.
Next came the races for which the
crowd of thinly-attired boys of all ages
had waited in the rain. There were
short daehes, long: runs, potato races.

L. S. Blackman, a. mining engineer,
who has . been workini? for the last
four years In Mexico, had a' thrilling
experience getting away . from that
country. He Is a" native of Heppner.
Or., and .leaves today to visit his old
home after a short visit in Portland.
"The news that the . United States
naval forces had occupied Vera Cruz
did not reach the mines where I was
working until most of the Americans
had got out of the country, and by that
time there was a strong feeling' against
all Americans," said - Mr. Blackman
yesterday. "Every American is an
enemy to them now. They make no
distinction between combatants and
non-combatants.
German C'on.al Gives Aid.'
"At Manzanillo there was no British
Consul, but the German Consul took us
in charge. We stayed at the German
Consulate until the British steamer
Cetrlana came in. The American Con
sulate et Manzanillo had been sacked
the night before and everything it con
tained thrown into the street. The
flairs were torn down and trampled
under foot.
"Captain Minister, of the Cetriana,
was told that there were 37 refugees,
mostly Americans, at the German Con
sulate, and with great difficulty he se
cured the permission of the federal
authorities to take the refugees aboard
his ship. That night he discovered a
plot of the Mexicans to destroy his
ship. Mexicans had been seen pour
inar gallons of gasoline and planting
dynamite on the dock.
"The Lpella. a Mexican steamship
laden with oil, was moved within a
few feet of the Cetriana and a trans
port with 300 Mexican convicts was
moored In such a position that it was
almost impossible for Captain Minister
to get away from the dock. The sig

dynamite was to be given as soon as
an American warship was seen ap
proaching. Then the fire was started
when the Cetriana was without steam.
Vessel Fired on From Shore.
"The transport with the convicts on
board had been loosed from her moor
