I s Xine of the men who are -to. direct the 1916 Rose Festival were chosen at a meeting of the Festival auxiliary at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night. These nine men, together with J. O. Convill, named by the City Council, and one each to be named -by the School Board and by the Chamber of Com merce, will have charge of the celebra tion next June. The election aroused a large amount Of interest. Delegates representing C9 separate civic, fraternal and Industrial organizations were present and were seated by the credentials committee. A controversy started, 'though, when It was found that some delegates rep resented two or more organizations. As these delegates insisted on voting once for each organization from which they bore credentials the meeting was thrown into an uproar until it was de termined that no one could vote more than once. Plural Voting 3"ot Permitted. . Prominent among the "plural" dele gates was L. M. Lepper, who came rep resenting the East Side Business Man's club, the Hawthorne Rose Society and two or three other organizations. The validity of such a situation to say nothing of the good taste was brought into serious question by C. C. Chapman. Dr. Emmet Drake and sev eral other delegates. Mr. Lepper insisted that he had been appointed in good faith by each of the several associations that he represented and pointed out that If he were denied the right to vote as often as he held credentials some of those associations would be deprived of representation. J. K. Werlein, who represented both the Transportation Club and the Haw thorne Rose Society, supported Mr. Lepper in his contentions. ts. C. Bratton, chairman of the meet ing, ruled that the rights of the dele gates to cast plural votes should not be disputed provided they had creden tials to cover eacli vote. On a question of sustaining the ruling of the chair, the meeting voted decisively against the plural voting plan. Nine Are Chosen. Inasmuch as some of the delegates with plural credentials already had received plural ballots the difficulty of confining their votes to the proper channels loomed large. So the meeting made short work of a perplexing situ ation and decided to give everyone present one vote regardless of the source of the credentials. On this basis, then, the voting pro ceeded, i , The nominating committee has pre sented the following list of 48 names, from which the nine successful candi dates were chosen: O. . Bortzmever, S. C. Bratton. O. B. Coldwell, Waiter M. Cook, J. 11. Dundo?, Sol Hart. Dr. A. K. Hig-g-3, E. J. Jaeger. O. K. Jeffery, Alma D. Katz. E. B. McKauchton w A. Montgomery. F. S. Myers. J'rank B. li. -A feargent. Edgar w. Smith, O. B. Stubbs.and, W. c. Wilkes. Each delegate was permitted to vote for nine candidates, but the zeal of some aspirants' friends was so great that they resorted to the "single-shot" system common in the civic elections. On account of the confusion grow ing out of the effort to establish the status of the delegates, the meeting, before adjourning, authorized the' ap pointment of a committee to draft rules and bylaws to govern such situ ations in the future. This committee is as follows: C P. Berg. Jacob Kanz ler. Phil S. Bates. C. C. Hall and John F. Carroll. A meeting wil be held in about two weeks to consider the report of the committee. The auxiliary ex pects to remain active throughout the period of preparation for the festival. The nominating committee recom mended last night that women should not be elected members of the festival board, hut suggested that the arrange ments for selecting the queen and en tertaining her should be given in charge of a committee of women. This idea seemed to meet the committee's approval. As soon as the School Board names its member of the board and the Cham ber of Commerce names another mem ber, the board will be ready to organ ire and proceed to business. Mr. Con vill already has been named by the City Council. Ferd Groner, of Hillsboro. and the Orenco Walnut Club. In the attendance, which listed about 80 walnut growers from Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho, the Orenco Club was prominently represented. North Yakima had a good representation also and In the exhibit displayed some of the products from the best orchards In that section. "Oregom has alread-v -one-fourth of the young walnut trees' in the United states." said Professor C. I. Lewis, of the Oregon Agricultural College, "and produces 79,000 pounds -of walnuts, out of the total 22,000,000 produced in the United States. . "During the past 10 years the produc tion of walnuts has' practically dou bled. The annual consumption In the United States Is about 0.640,600 pounas. Walnut men -need have tie fear for the future of the industry so' far as marketing is concerned.". W. W. Return, of McMinnvtn, crave a talk on planting. Ferd Groner talked on cultivation, and A. A. 0.narnberg, of Vancouver, discussed varieties. Dr. W. C. Deming gave a talk on "Nut Food and Nat Distribution." " He is secre tary of the Northern Nut Growers' As sociation, of Georgetown, Conn.

In costumes ranging from the splash of Oriental coloring in the kimonos and vivid sashes of .the pretty Japanese maidens in the tea garden to the som ber hues of the Occidental tailored suit worn by the visiting man and maid of Japan. Portland Japanese dominated the Manufacturers' and Land Products fahow Wednesday night. Mingling in one of the largest crowds of the week were to be seen many Orientals, all apparently hugely interested In the at tractions offered. No leaving of the children, behind with neighbors when the Japanese vis ited the show they brought them along. Many youngsters In to West ern eyes quaint garb played along the corridors, clung to their elders or trooped solemnly past the exhibits on inspection tours. Most popular rendezvous of the evening was the tea garden. During the day nearly S0O cups of -tea were served visitors, but with the evening crowd the attendants estimated 1200 more appeared for refreshments, which consisted of well-flavored tea and the dainty rice cake, on each wafer of which was embossed' an entwined American and Japanese flag. In the dress of old Japan three at tractive Japanese women and two pretty Japanese ,rirls dispensed tea and cakes with Oriental grace. The llower bedecked interior of the garden, focus ing on a Japanese scene painted at the rear of a stage, was a lure to many beauty lovers who had walked many weary miles around the exhibits. Those in charge of the Japanese gar den were Y. Nakaya, chairman; T. Uehlda, S. Sekiguchl,- H. Kohara and G. Somekawa. Those serving were Mes d ames Shimbo, Takami and Toda, and Misses Koma Sunada and Michi Aka matsu. Complimentary to the occasion. Band master W. E.

H. L. STEVENS RETURNS EX-SHERirP OPTIMISTIC AFTER SEEING PROSPERITY IN EAST. WALNUT MEN CONVENE Oregon Association Speakers Discuss Best Methods. Every clement of successful walnut growing was discussed by a practical expert at the opening session of the first annual convention of the West ern Walnut Growers' Association at the Imperial Wednesday. In the lobby of the hotel they had Kn exhibit of walnuts to prove that they spoke with authority. The fine exhibit was the center of an Interested crowd throughout the day. It will be moved to the Manufacturers' and Land Show tomorrow after the close of the convention. Ten standard varieties of rafted walnuts are shown The principal exhibitors are J. C Cooper, orgaoiJcr, ot .the. association; Factories Working Overtime and Move, ment Is Coming; West World's Series Games Witnessed. . R. L. ("Bob") Stevens returned Wednesday evening from an extended visit in the East. Mr. Stevens spent most of the Summer in New York and other New England trade centers, where the wave of prosperity which set in early in the year is most apparent, and Mr. Stevens returns in an optimis tic frame of mind. "Every available manufacturing plant throughout the East is working over time, and while, the war munitions and equipments were of course in the lead the prosperity nrhich they set in mo tion," said Mr, Stevens, "has spread in nearly all other branches of biin This wave of prosperity which has been noticeable in the East for several months is. working Westward, and is now decidedly apparent in Chicago, De troit, St. Paul and other Middle West ern centers. . "Railroads are buying heavily for re pair work and equipment and their ex penditure seems to be justified by the heavy increase in business on most of the roads. The general sentiment fit the business people in the East is that the Pacific Coast and intermediate ter ritory is bound to come in for its share of the prosperity. "The inability of thousands of wealthy tourists to make the usual trip to Europe has turned large numbers of them to the Pacific Coast, and the im pression they received was highly com plimentary to this part of the country. The Columbia Highway is as well known throughout the East as it is in Portland. Its scenic beauties made a hit in the East and there are few moving picture houses where the smil ing countenance of S. Benson has not appeared with some of the numerous celebrities who have traversed the highway." While Mr. Stevens, being a Tankee, always has an eye out for business he never lets it interfere with the world's series and naturally he was obliged to prolong his visit in the East until the great question was decided, and even now he is willing at any time to aban don a discussion of trade matters to explain jus,t how Boston turned the trick. HOUSEMAID SAVES SILVER Thieves Flee at Servant's Approach, but Take Costly Overcoat. The home of Isador Lang. 588 Jack son street, was entered Wednesday night by burglars, who ransacked the house and piled the silver and linen on a table, but fled without their booty when, a housemaid returned home and Opened the door. One of the thigves departed, wearing Mr. Lang's 1100 overcoat and a JS hat. Mr. Lang Is president of Lang tc Co., grocers. Detectives Leonard . and La Sails were assigned, to the case.- Leo Frlede. a member of the com mittee from the Taxpayers' League, in the second day's session of the joint meeting of that committee and School Board for the consideration of the 191 budget, took occasion Wednesday to question the advisability of the inclu sion or manual training both in high schools of the city and the Benson Polytechnic School. - The question of Mr. Friede was raised w.hea the joint body came to the item of manual training that called, in the proposed budget, for approximately $j0,000. Benson School was to receive the bulk of the appropriation, and both Washington and Franklin High Schools were considered for increased equip ment and supplies. "Why cannot all the manual training be concentrated in the Benson Poly technic," qneried Mr. Friede. Mr. Al derman asked if on the same ground he would be willing to eliminate the cooking and the sewing from all the high schpols and concentrate those subjects In the Benson school for girls. n-r. Friede objected to the comparison. Duplication Long Questioned. 3. V. Beach, a member of the Board, Bma ibm it naa always been a question just how far vocational and cultural subjects should be duplicated in the Portland schools. Mr. Alderman ex plained, that manual training was given in the. high schools because the boy Of beginning high school age does not know what he wants to do, and it lb the endeavor of the school system to help him find out by offering him a wider scope than would be allowed by the elimination of manual training. Another of Mr. Frlede's objections came when the item of physical train ing was being considered. The pro posed figures provide for physical training in both the Benson and Frank lin schools, and Mr. Friede declared he saw no reason why physical training snouia De given In those schools. ' $44,165 Is Eliminated. The presence of a deputation from the Laurelhurst district, arguing for a provision for a new school in that part Ot the city, and lengthy discussions of different items in the budget, de terred the joint body from doing any extensive work in the matter of elini inations in the school budget. How ever, $44,163 was slashed from the pro posed figures at yesterday's meeting, and of that amount practiijally half went In one item, that of the provision of equipment of kindergartens. The 125,000, named as the figure for the kindergarten, was kept out - for the reason that the joint body, in ItsfirBt session, decided to defer the installa tion of that branch of school work for the time being. Ten thousand five hundred and forty five dollars was striken from the ap propriation for the equipment for the new Benson Polytechnic School when the committee from the TaxDavers' League and the School' Board decided to transfer the printing plant, that "is now in operation at the Jefferson High School, to the Benson School, when the latter is complete. Picture Machine Net Favored. It was also decided to be poor policy to meet with the suggestion of the residents in the vicinity of Shattuck School to provide half the cost of the installation of moving picture equip ment, provided the residents raised the other half. The only provision made for the purchase of. moving pic ture apparatus was Tor Lincoln High School, the only high school in the city that -meets with the provisions for fire-proof buildings. it": uijuuiuuii 1 1 u in J,aureinurst, headed by the president Of the Laurel hurst Club, H. s. McCutchan. pleaded lor the establishment of a school in that district. "We want no extensive building, nor appropriation for the im provement of the grounds," said Mr. McCutchan. "but we do Insist that Laurelhurst needs a building as badly as any portion of the city." When asked !f the residents of Laurelhurst would be satisfied with a Duildlng that would cost near $2000 a room, Mr. McCutchan said that what ever policy in the matter of school construction was determined by the Board -for Other sections of the. city would do for Laurelhurst. Near the conclusion of Wednesday's meeting. M. G. Munly asked what type of a building was being considered at Franklin, and insisted that there should be neither gymnasium nor assembly hall included in the construction of the next unit. -;t. : Following is the phrtion of the bud get as revised at yesterday's meeting, the original estimate and the' amounts passed - being given: , Askea for.

COUPLE START FOR WEsV OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS Slax Goodman Wrilcs Postal Card Rotating Trip Companion Clips Hair and Wears Boy's Ap parel Police Busy. " NEW YORK. Oct. 24. With a $500 reward out for her safe return. Miss Viola Stevens, 15 years old, a member of the Bird Club affiliated with the Brooklyn. Institute of Arts and Sci ences, is reported riding the brake beams of freights on the Pennsylvania Railroad. She disappeared a few days ago from her. home at 839 Hancock street. Brooklyn. According to information given out by the police, the girl met Max Good man, 16, a high school botanist and entomologist, also a member of the Bird Club, went to the Kotiwenhoven station, Flatlands, L. I., snipped off her long braids, donned a boy s coat and trousers and, shoving her clipped tresses under a cap, started off for the world of adventure. Post Card Clears Mystery. The mystery about the young pair was dissipated when a postal card, dated August 29, at Phlllipsburg, N. J., was received by a chum of the miss ing boy. "The postal said: "Dear Jim Arrived safe, striking Penn. Having a darn good time. Caught freight at Weetfleld on Penn. Left Asbury. ' . Got a square meal from a farmer's wife. "FRANK SALVILLE. "P. S. Will write you again on our honeymoon. Max." The card was addressed to James Opie, an instructor' in the children's museum of the Brooklyn Institute. He communicated at once with the police. Word was sent to Mrs. Stevens, who promptly offered $500 reward for the safe return of her daughter. From Andrew Bostick, who lives in the Stevens' neighborhood, the police got the story of the alleged elopement. Bostick said Viola left her house the afternoon of the elopement, taking with her a suit case full of boy's clothes, and met Bostick and Goodman. The three then went out to the Kouwen hoven station and the 'girl-disappeared inside, cut off her tresses and put on the boy's clothes. , Clrl la Awkward. "She was awkward, and didn't know how to walk in lqng pants. So we showed her how to toe out," said Bos tick. When the girl had mastered the in tricacies of man's apparel the couple waved a farewell to Bostick and disap peared on a train bound for Manhattan, he said. "The day Viola left I had gone out to collect Borne rents and I got back to my house about 5 o'clock," Mrs. Stevens said. "I found my son, Harold. 8 years old, playing in the street and Viola's room in disorder. Her books were scattered about and everything topsy turvy. I found stuck in one book a list of toilet articles. "As I looked out of the front, win dow I saw Viola with a suitcase going down toward Ralph avenue. That was the last I saw of her." The missing young people have kept the police busy. Clilcago "L" Grants Increase. CHICAGO. Oct. 23.
