EXECUTIVE LAUDS TROOPS
Armory Congested Willi Greatest
Turnout of Miltary SPen Since
panish-American War Band
Mutiny Pleasant Surprise.
The largest military turnout in Port
. land since the Spanish-American war
was the inspection of Multnomah
County troops by Governor Withycombe
in the Armory Wednesday night. Nine
full companies of infantry, artillery and
cavalry, besides the sanitary detach
ments, passed in review before the
Governor, Adjutant-General George A.
White, and other military and state of
ficers who were present for the inspec
tion. The spacious Armory floor was so
crowded with troops that it waa neces
sary for officers to march their men
out to the street and around the block
to permit them to turn around so they
could actually pass in review.
In spite of the congestion due to an
unprecedented military gathering, the
militia executed maneuvers with a pre
cision that brought frequent comment
from Governor Withycombe and bursts
of applause from the 100 or more per
sons in the gallery. No difficult drills
could be attempted on the crowded
floor, but the maneuvers that were ex
ecuted were not marred by a single
bitch.
Six Companies at Third Present.
Six out of eisht organized companies
of the Third Infantry were present in
full force. These were Companies B,
C, r, E. F and H. The Kighth Com
pany of Coast Artillery, Troop A Cav
airy and Battery A, Field Artillery,
made up the third, or provisional bat'
talion. which was reviewed by Governo
W ithycombe and his staff.
The troops were under the command
of Colonel John L. May. of the Third
infantry, assisted by Captain Hotch
kiss, his chief of staff. The first infan
try Battalion was commanded by Ma
jor L. A. Bowman, the Second by Ma
Jor Charles T. Smith and. the provls
ional battalion of artillery and cavalry
Dy Captain Frank Tebbetts.
ine jnira inianiry nana was on
hand in full regalia, making the walls
of the Armory resound with martial
music.
Following the review the entire reg
Iment was lined up and 216 men were
called from the ranks to receive mad
ais which they had won during the
past year. These were awarded by
captain Shoemaker under the super
vision of General James Jackson, Inspector-General
of the Oregon. National
uuaru.
Mate Official See Review.
Secretary of State Olcott, State
Treasurer Kay, Attorney-General
Brown and numerous other state and
county officials were on hand to wit
ness "the, review.
following the inspection, a big
cruna ana ennslea men assembled ii
the Armory ballroom for a dance. Of
ficers and visitors were entertained in
the, officers quarters, where refresh
nients were served.
Captain Clarence R. Hotchklss, Colo
my May's chief of staff, was some
what taken aback early in the evening
wnen ne ordered the Third infantry
band to assemble. The ment sent word
to their superior officer that they
wouia not move from tneir quarters.
The captain was puzzled. The band
had always been his pet organization,
and he had devoted much personal su
pervision to its worn, ills mind re
verted to the militia "revolt" during
the maneuvers in Washington two
years ago, and he wondered if some
thing of the sort had not occurred
again.
Caplalai Gets aiemento.
, Somewhat incensed. the captain
mounted the stairs to tbe bands quar
lers, wnere ne found the men lined up
waiting lor him. JJ'here his vexation
was turned into an agreeable surprise.
He was informed that this waa the
third anniversary of his promotion to
the office of Adjutant on the Colonel's
staff, and that the. band had remem
bered the occasion. He waa presented
with a handsomely engraved auto
matic revolver as a memento of the oc
casion. One event of the review which moved
the huge audience to a roar of ap
plause was the presentation of the Na
tional Defense Trophy to Company B,
of the Third Infantry. This trophy,
awarded by the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice, has been
held by Company B for three succes
aive years, and Is competed for by every
militia company in the state.
License Bureau, when he appeared to
go through the preliminary steps for
making Temo Zellin, 20, modlshly
dressed and rosy cheecked, his fourth
wife. After supplying all the details
that the license blank would ,, hold,
Fitzsimmons waa referred to Chief
Clerk Scully, whe told him he would
have to show his divorce papers be
fore the license could be issued.
That news brought consternation to
the fare of the ex-pugilist, and it is
believed that he felt some peculiar
anxiety over the matter, because it
is reported that the ex-pugilist, who
now gives his occupation aa "actor.1
recently failed to get a license in
Newark.
While Fitzsimmons was hurrying to
Manhattan for the papers that would
satisfy Chief Clerk Scully, the bride-to-be
sat in the license bureau room read
ing a newspaper. As the afternoon
wore away, she became anxious, ami
watched the door constantly. Fitz
simmons apparently expected some dif
ficulty m getting the papers at once.
Before he started for .Manhattan, he
telephoned and, judging from the an
noyed expression on his face, the in
formation he had obtained was not
wholly satisfactory. One of Fitzsim
mons' divorces was obtained in Chi
cago and the other in New York.
Late in the afternoon Fitzsimmons
returned to the now impatient Temo
without the papers. His hunt was in
vain.
'Old girl. I guess I'll have to throw
up the sponge, he said, adding that
he would have to go to another state,
he guessed, for his fourth wedding.

After Hearing Talk by J. B. Yeon.
At a well-attended neeting Wednes
day night in the Albina Library, under
the ausoices of the Albina Business
Men's Club, after hearing the address of
John B. xeon, roadmaster. resolutions
were unanimously adopted favoring the
bond issue of $1.2dO,u.'0 for hard-sur

completion of the Columbia Highway.
in his address Mr, Yeon explained
the benefits that Portland and Mult

Improvements and be declared that the
Columbia Highway will be one of Port
land's greatest assets.
Members of the First Methodist
Church Wednesday continued with un
abated success their "every member
campaign' and succeeded in arousing
the support and enthusiasm of scores
of additional workers in various parts
of the city.
Each of the five divisions in charge
of the work hustled all day In the quest
for members. At the final rally last
night the reports Indicated, that the
work has been productive of unex
pected results. The campaign will be
pushed for several days more. At the
end of this period it is hoped that every
registered member of the church will
have been enrolled in the campaign of
active service. Many new members also
will have been obtained.
Dr. F. L. Loveland, pastor of the
church, Is the active head of the move
ment, and has given much personal at
tention to the actual detail of solicita
tion among the members. His efforts
alone have been productive of splendid
results.
The five divisions Into which the
field forces have been organized are
commanded by E. A. Baker. E. S. Miller,
B. A. Green, I B. Baketel and George
R. Parks respectively. Each commander
has the rank of colonel. Each division
is subdivided into four teams. There Is
much good natured rivalry among the
various divisions and among the several
teams of each division.
The city has been divided Into dis
tricts and each team is in charge of a
district. The registered members of the
church in each district first are visited
and their active aid In church effort is
enlisted. The workers then visit those
persons who are not affiliated with any
church and enlist some of them In gen
eral church work.
Each night the teams make their re
ports to' the congregation. There was
much rejoicing last night when the re
turns showed that the campaign has re
sulted in the renewed interest of large
numbers of members who heretofore
have taken only a passive Interest In
church work.
Dr. Loveland follows the campaign
reports each night with a sermon. His
subject last night was "Christianity
Doubting." His remarks were Illus
trated. The big auditorium was
crowded.
Another Interesting feature of the
campaign is the dinner served at 6
o'clock by the Women's Aid Society of
the congregation in honor of the work
ers in the membership campaign. This
is made the occasion of much social en
joyment and has aided materially in
advancing the spirit of goodfellowship
ong the members. J

CHICAGO. March 27. Professor
Henry J. Cox, the local weather fore
caster, in addressing a meeting; of the
Chicago Association of Commerce point
ed out that in the military operations in
Europe there ls no more Important fac
tor than the scientific weather prophet.
"The army which has the most ac
curate forecast has a tremendous ad-
antaee," said Professor Cox. "Barom
eters, wind gauges and other para
phernalia of the meteorologist are as
mportant as the aeroplane, the peri
scope and the automobile In modern
warfare."
Professor Cox said that the warring
nations consider the concealing of
weather conditions so vital that the
xchange of data among the weather
ureaus of the world has been largely
curtailed. Absence of information from
Siberia, for instance, he said, had
forced the United States to abondon the
weekly "long-range forecast"
TURKISH MUNITIONS POOR
Officers Keported Arrested for Hos
tility Toward Germans.
GENEVA (via Paris). April 1. A
Constantinople dispatch received here
by way of Bucharest says that while
ammunition is not lacking for the
Turkish army, it is of poor quality. The
supply of cartridges provided by Ger
many in March, 1914, has been ex
hausted and Turkey now is forced to
rely on those of her own manufacture,
which are inferior to those of German
make.
Disorders and insubordination among
the Turkish soldiers are of frequent
occurrence, the dispatch says, during
the transport of troops. Many Turk
ish officers are reported to have been
arrested for their hostile attitude to
ward the Germans.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 1. (Spe
cial.) Harry Edsell. assistant com
missioner of immigration, who has been
Btatloned at Angel Island for the past
five years, resigned his post Wednes
day after 13 years In the employ of the
Federal Government. Orders from the
Immigration Bureau, in Washington, in
which Edsell waa transferred from the
Angel Island post to St. Louis, caused
the commissioner to resign after he
had learned by telegraph that the
transfer order was Irrevocable.
Leaving the editorial staff of the
Portland Telegram in 1903, Mr. Edsell
entered the Government service at
Port Townsend in the Department of
Commerce and Labor. A year later he
was promoted to inspector in charge
of the immigration station at Sumas,
Wash. In 1909 he was made Chinese
Inspector in charge of the entire Cana
dian border. He was transferred from
Vancouver, B. C. to Washington, D. C,
where he became genera Investigator
for the Immigration Bureau and his
duties in the investigation department
brought him to Angel iBland in 1910.
Early In 1911 he was made assistant
commissioner of immigration.
With the telegram from Washington
accepting Mr. Edsell's resignation came
another order promoting W. T. Bryce
to the assistant commisslonership. Mr.
Bryce has spent 16 years In the local
Immigration service.
Mr. Edsell has recently associated
himself with the California Sea Prod
ucts Company as secretary and treas
urer.

Success may be attained by the man of small salary as
well as the capitalist. He may invest as he saves from week
to week or month to month. In this way he is saving toward
a definite object. The investment must permit him to share
equitably in original profits and not simply interest. The
Oregon Home Builders offers the ideal investment. Its record
is established its operations safe its profits legitimately
large. Its field is without limit and its future easily fore
seen. It has many departments from which profits accrue.
It has already paid an 8 per cent dividend. You cannot af
ford not to investigate thoroughly. We have many of the
strongest financial men and women of this city as share
holders and we have many of the smallest wage earners.
Both are equal in power and in earnings. It is open to all

By R. J. (Dick) Beliand.
To Men and Women:
As manager of the Peoples Clothing: Co., I want to
fit the men folks out with their Easter Suit. You
will save money by purchasing it from us, because we
are now connected with the great SHIRLEY
CHAIN of stores and are now selling clothing direct
from FACTORY TO WEARER.
Lord Chesterfield said to his son: "JUDGE ALL
THINGS BY THEIR MERITS AND NOT BY
THEIR AGES." This injunction holds as true today
as it did nearly two centuries ago. That's why within
a very few weeks THE PEOPLES CLOTHING CO.
has outdistanced all competition and is today supply
ing the great majority of Portland's men folks with
high-class ready-to-wear clothes.
