The tirst seven years of tho Festival King Rex was the particular member of Royalty whose authority was given serious consideration. In 1914 the Fes tival for the first time proceeded under tho guiding hand f a Queen, and Queen Theima and her court helped spread the fame of the festival far and wide. This year a Queen will once more be one of the central .features of the celebration. When the member of the Royal Family is found she, with her six Princesses, will be consulted as to the crowning ceremonies and festival directors will outline a plan that will call for her appearance, uncrowned, in the children's parade opening on the morning of June 9 on the East Side. Oneen Be Important Factor. lAfter the parade the Festival Queen with her Princesses, and those taking part in the ceremony, will proceed to the Festival center at the park, where an elaborate ceremony will take place. Thereafter the Queen will have an Im portant place in all the festivities of the three-day celebration. In an official statement regarding the Queen contest Dean Vincent said yesterday afternoon: "It is the desire of the Rose Festival board to adopt a plan to secure a Queen and six Princesses for this year's Festival that will be the choice of the largest number of people possible. That we may get the benefit of a variety of opinions we are asking for suggestions as to a popular plan for the selections of the Queen and her Princesses. The contestants must be residents of Portland or its suburbs. The plan is not to include any Idea of expense to contestants or money con sideration for votes. ""We want the contributors to make their suggestions as brief as possible and send them to the newspaper of which they are subscribers. Address letters in cars of "Queen contest man alter.' The contest will close at mid night of April 17. "The contest is open to all people and they may make their suggestions as a resident of Portland, or as the secretary or official representative of organisations or associations large or small. This opens the suggestions for a contest plan to everyone In the city and suburbs." ELECTRIC PARADE IS WANTED Jovlans to Discuss Festival Plans at Hotel Benson Today.

Dr. Frachtenbnrg In Portland In Behalf of Louie Savage, in Prison for M order 12 Years Ago. As a step in efforts to obtain a par don for Louie' Savage, the last of the Molalla Indians, Dr. Leo J. Frachten burg. Indian ethnologist of the Smith sonian Institute; 'Washington, D. C, who is stationed at Chemawa Indian School, visited Portland yesterday. Louie Savage shot and killed another Indian named Frank Wacheeno, on the Grand Rondc Indian Reservation 12 years ago. Savage-was ngnting with .n,.thr Indian when Wacheeno inter fered as peacemaker and was shot by accident. Savage was later sentencea to be imprisoned for life in the Gov ernment penitentiary at Fort Leaven worth, Kan. ' "Tho case of Louie Savage is sad in manx particulars," said Dr. Frachten -burg. "He is the last of a noble tribe of Indians. Not exactly the last how ever, for his father. Steve Savage, an old Indian nearing 80 years of age, is living at St. Helens, Or., but is quite nirk ft nH hia davs are numbered. "Steve Savage was my informer of tne Molalla tribe History, and greatly assisted me in preparing my Indian his tory for the Government. He was so valuable to me that I took him to the Slletz Reservation to assist me there. It was then that I became interested in the case of his only son. "I corresponded with the warden at Fort Leavenworth penitentiary and learned that Savage had been a model prisoner, never suffering any punish ment for breaking rules. His crime was not premeditated and tho man he killed was not meant to be hit by Savage. "A petition was got up for Savage's nardon. Every living juror signed it. but John W. Hall, United States Attor ney, who prosecuted Savage, and Dr. Andrew Kershaw, at that time United States Indian agent of the Grand Ronde Reservation, who later resigned but still lives at Wlllamina, would not sign the petition. Dr., Kershaw has agreed to sign a petition if Savage will not come back to the Grand Ronde.
