With Score of Brass Bands Advocates of Prepared ness Will March. ALBANY PARADE TOMORROW MOT and &it'.ihs PACIFIC "U" IS. FOR MOVE T.ek of Endowment, However, Will Be Important Factor in Reach ing Decision, as Albany Has $250,000 Fund Available. ALBANY. Or.. Juno 1 (Special.) In a statement given out here tonight President Lee, of Albany College, ad mitted that Pacific University had made application to the Albany Col lege trustees to have them take over the Forest Grove institution and that the matter would be considered at the annual meeting of the board of trus tees to be held in this city June 13. "What the board will do in regard to the matter, I am, of course, un able to say," said President Lee. "I am absolutely certain of one fact, however, and that it that whether or not Pacific University is joined with Albany Col leg, our institution will open here next Kali better prepared to care for col lege, students than ever before and I want to say further that the possi bility of a union between the two in stitutions being perfected will not stop our efforts to prepare for occupy ing our new campus at the earliest possible date." President Bushnell Displease. The Albany College trustees are not pleased with the manner in which Pres ident Bushnell has gone about the mat ter of trying to unite the two institu tions. It is asserted here that he first went East and consulted the Presbyterian Board of Education having charge of all the colleges of the Presbyterian Church. The plan presented by Dr. Bushnell is suposed to have met with favor there and the officials are now urging the local board to aceede to Pacific's proposal. The facts in the case, as they are commonly understood, ara that Pacific University, while having excellent equipment In the way of buildings and other facilities for handling a large student body, has no permanent endow ment of sufficient size to maintain a standard college faculty. Albany Hu Endowment. lAlbany College, having Just com pleted a $250,000 endowment campaign, . has ample funds to maintain a first class institution although it has in adequate buildings and must in the near future erect buildings on a cam pus which It has purchased for that purpose. Several years ago Pacific University trustees threw . off the control of the Congregational church, under whose auspices the institution was founded, to secure funds from the Carnegie foundation with which to erect college buildings. Since that time it is be lieved that efforts have been made to ragain the support of the church. ' All the Albany members of the local college board of trustees are deter mined never to consent to moving the college to Forest Grove, but assert that if any union should take place it will involve the bringing of that Institu tion to Albany. College Grounds Valuable. The local college owns lands, the value of which runs into the hundred thousands, but the title to which will he void it if fails to use them for the maintenance of a college here. The matter was carried to the Supreme Court in one case when the decision was made to change the location here from one campus to another and the decision rendered stated that the title would be void if the college had been moved to any other city. Albany people are much agitated over the developments, but both Pres- ident Lee and the local members of the board of trustees, assure them that the college will never leave Albany. TRAFFIC LAW DISCUSSED AFTO DEALERS DECLARE! PUBLIC ICXORiST OF RULES. I Conference Held 'With City Officials and Arrangement Made to Try Oat New Devices. That the public of the city needs to be familiarized with the traffic ordi nances is the contention of the Port land Automobile Dealers' Association. To that end, a committee was appointed recently, consisting of A. B. Manley, H. L. Mann, C M. Menzies, George W. Dean and H. M. Covey. President Hurd, of the association, arranged for a meet ing of the committee yesterday after noon in conference with city and -traffic officials. . ' City Attorney LaRoche and Harrv P. Coffin, chairman of the Public Safety -commission, together with B. F. Bovn ton, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, met with the commit tee at the Benson Hotel and discussed traffic requirements. . . . It was the sense of the committee that the present rule confining traffic on the Broadway bridge to two lines should be removed. The matter of lights on autos was also discussed and it was agreed that as soon as dates can be fixed, dealers will equip their cars with various devices of a safety nature ana win test them out to learn the merits of 'the different safeguards. 28 ARE - GIVEN RATINGS Examination for Positions for Di rectors of Playgrounds Held.

Peoples "Saints and Sinners," "Pictographa." Pickford "Sudden Riches." T & D "Sherlock Holmes, "Glo ria's Romance.' Columbia "A Child of the Paris Streets," "His Bitter Pill." Columbia. KEYSTONE comedies are always popular. Mack Sennett'a brand of film nonsense seldom failing to register a high average of laughs. but "His Bitter' Pill." Mack Swain's travesty on melodrama, which opened yesterday at the Columbia Theater, is a two-reeler, which will set the pace foe months to come. Swain,, the "Ambrose" of filmdom, is a county sheriff, with "fists as hard as hi heart Is soft" There is a "book- leamed" scoundrel, a "gal" adored by Jim. the sheriff, and the book-learned chap. Jim is a dead shot, as witness the awesome precision with which he topples the stage coach robbers from their ponies; a cyclone with bis fists, as witness his Augean Stables clean-up or tne saloon on two occasions: a horseman par excellence, as witness his dive through the window to a "giddaD" position on his trusty steed, and re covery of his saddle, when horse and ridfr roll down a huge embankment. But he is a laggard in love, for the scoundrel, robber, burglar, etc.; wins the girl, only losing her when his soul departs via a lynching bee. The film is runny, real funny, without further delving into superlatives. If it were not for Swain, the pride of the country, there would still be a big headline number on the bill, for Mae Marsh, Robert Harron, Tully Marshall, ct aL present in "A Child of the Paris Streets." . a production any company might be proud of. As the little Parlsan Apache, with her halo of locks and her delightful manner isms, one is reminded of BUlle Burke. She is the daughter of French respecta bility, stolen by the Apaches and brought up a thief. Robert Harron, as the young American artist, rescues her from death, when the Apaches would take her life, and in the rescue wins a bride. Realistic Paris fete scenes are attractive features of a strong pro duction. A scenic shows glimpses of picturesque Singapore. Pickford- "Sudden Riches," a story of exceD- tlonal appeal, constructed about the havoo unexpected wealth plays in a hitherto happy family. Is the week end feature at the Pickford Theater. While Rockert Warwick is the adver tised star of the production, audiences, which are in the habit of selecting their own stars, may give first place to Madge Evans, one of the prettiest and cleverest youngsters that ever acted before a camera and she really acts. The sympathy aroused -by the child. in the role of the love-hungry daugh ter who is forced to live with expensive toys and an unfeeling nurse, while her parents pursue "-heir hectic pursuit of pleasure, accounts in no small degree for the exceptional appeal - of the pic ture. There is nothing strained about the theme. The author does not attempt to label money as "the root of all evil, but be does contend, through the ex periences of his characters, that it may bring misery into a household that prior to the advent of wealth knew pnly hap piness. The spirit of the ideal home, with its contrast of discord and unhap- piness, has been caught remarkably well by the author, players and direc tor. Robert Steele Is a lawyer with a orac tice sufficient to keep his family in good circumstances, a condition of per fect accord ruling the household. Then an uncle, with a deep-dyed hatred for the young professional man, leaves him a million dollars, determined to ruin his life. The possession of the money nearly worKs-tne aesirea result. Hue band becomes entangled with an ac tress, and the wife with a sculptor, while the little daughter, hungry for parental love, is neglected, crying her self to sleep each night. Then comes illness, which nearly carries away the loved one. The shock brings the hus band and wife to their senses, and Joy once more rules a once gloomy home. Majestic. The bright lights, as typified by "wine, women and song," are placed under a microscopic arraignment at the Majestic Theater in the Fox photo- drama, or photo-tragedy. "The Spider and the Fly." The lover of the sen sual finds no arguments to bolster his ideas or actions in this picture, for from first to last it subjects wrong- living the violation of the laws of morality and,, sobriety to . a scathing expose. . Robert Mantell, Genevieve Hamper, Claire Whitney, Stuart Holmes and laoa Lee org among th.e o ta:ri& i ,i . i . in .i i Qpsr?anc,&Sz'e-&ct?Ce.. pearing in this vehicle. Mantell is a wealthy young Parisan who kills his bosom friend in a drunken brawl, and then, after swearing abstinence ' and dedicating his life to charity, falls vic tim to the wiles of. an adventuress, queen of the "Hall of Folly," and ends his life in an insane asylum. Genevieve Hamper, the adventuress, prospers for a time, and apparently enjoys life, but deep tragedy enters her life, con science smites her, and she spends her last years in toiling for the masses. Holmes, the villain, ruins one woman, tris to do the same for his illegitimate daughter, and pays the penalty for his misdeeds with his life. Charlie Chaplin, held over in "Po lice," at the request of many patrons, continues to draw the laughs, the film proving an excellent foil for the heavy and tragio f ive-reeler. . "Police" does not present Charlie as a policeman, but in the guise of an ex-convict who is extremely bashful in the presence of authority. Unlike "Carmen," "Police" shows Chaplin in nearly every feat. He is a busy chap; busy with his ridiculous antics, and does not fail to "put over" his laughs. Edna Purvlance, his blond leading woman, is cast in a prominent role, and saves the freedom of the chivalrous burglar. New T & D Policy. Commencing next Sunday the T & D Theater will inaugurate a policy of twice-a-week changes at Portland's largest home of the pnotodraraa, while on June 21 the World Film Company's programme, the Brady-made produc tions, presenting such stars as Robert Warwick. Kitty Gordon. Alice Brady. Clara Kimball Toung, Carlyle Black well, House Peters, Muriel Ostrlche, Holbrook Blinn, Gail Kane, Doris Ken yon and Johnny Hines, will be screened at that playhouse. . . we opened the T & D Theater In Portland with weekly changes because we could not get suitable productions for the' house, choosing to screen one high-class feature for an entire week rather than sacrifice quality for the sake of two changes," said Manager Loonhart in commenting on the change. Hereafter we will change our shows on Sundays and Wednesdays, with the Blllie Burke film novel, "Gloria's Ro mance," running for three days, com mencing Sunday. The Brady-made world features are of the highest class, and wt shall open the programme on the 21st' with Alice Brady in 'La Bo heme.' V. L. S. E. productions will also be presented, with others to be added in the near future." For today and the remainder of the week the f & T bill will consist of "Sherlock Holmes," with William Gil lette in the title role, Billy Burke in chapter 3 of "Gloria's Romance," and a Frank Daniels comedy. Gillette, in the film version of his famous stage suc cess, is making a decided hit, lovers of the detective drama finding in "Sher lock Holmes' the entertainment for which they have been yearning. A number of the more exciting of the adventures of the Conan Doyle char acter have been utilized for the seven reels of, thrills, while a sparkling love story adds the strength of the drama. Peggy Tf yland Bows to Camera. "Peggy and America Discover Each Other" is an alluring enough title in July Photoplay Magazine. It becomes more alluring with the explanation that Peggy-, is Miss Peggy Hyland, the first English -actress ever brought to" the United States to play before the screen camera. Randolph Bartlett gives the reason for the importation: "It is," he writes, "that the most ad vanced of motion picture producers are realizing that the pantomime art is de veloping pantomime artists, and when one of these is discovered, whether In London or Keokuk, it is wise to place her, or him, under contract. Miss Hy land was brought to this country be cause she is par excellence the moving picture actress." In addition to the Peggy Hyland film, "Saints and Sinners," Paramount Picto- graphs and a Bray cartoon comedy, the Peoples Theater will screen tonight, and all day Saturday, "One Girl in a Thousand. This film, with a story presenting Beverly Bayne and Bryant Washburn as stars, is being run In con nection with the cooking Bchool lec tures at the Eleventh-street Playhouse. Screen Gossip. In order to inform the public of the great dangers of the unprotected Pa cific Coast and of the possible uprising of the Japanese in California, the De fense Reports Committee is making ar rangements to take pictures of the Jap anese activities in the West. A number of films will be made depicting the lack of proper fortifications to resist an invading army. The work 61 filming the propaganda will be placed under the supervision of Thomas Kimwood Peterf, a pioneer motion picture man. who haa spent most of his life on the Pacific Coast. Christine Mayo, who was recently engaged by the Popular Plays and Players, will make her debut as a lead ing woman on the Metro programme in "The Spell of the Yukon," a five-part wonderplay in which tdmund Breese lik tarxed, FINAL MEETING IS TONIGHT Notices Issued by Various Organ izations for Assembly and Or ders for General Staff Given Out by General Bee be.

"Get out and make a Dig prepared ness showing Saturday night," urges Mayor Albee in a proclamation issued yesterday. He explained the movement as one free from politics and free from the proposition of preparedness for Na tional aggression, but one purely to give an expression of tbe desire of the citizens of the Nation to prepare the country for self-preservation. The Mayors proclamation is as fol lows: "To the People of Portland: "Plans having been completed for a parade of citizens in all walks of life, to take place Saturday night at 7:80 o'clock, for the purpose of showing our sentiments as to preparedness for peace, I feel that formal attention should be called to the event. "In no sense is this parade to be con sidered as political, neither Is it to be looked upon as fostering military prep arations for purposes of a&gres-sion. It is to be nurely for the purpose or giv ing concrete expression to the feelings of our citizenry relative, to National preparedness of a proper and adequate nature for the protection of our coun try, no matter in what position we may find ourselves as a woria power. "Portland Is to march in unison witn a large number of cities and towns throughout the United States, thus joining in a Nation-wide movement that is designed to crystallize senti ment for the nurpose of backing the President and those In authority at Washington In a programme of ade quate preparedness. "It Is to be purely a voluntary action unon the Dart of every citizen, but it seems to me to be an occasion in which every one may join with enthusiasm, and I therefore urge that all who are able to do so will turn out ana mates of this demonstration a most memor able -event, thus assisting at least to the present limit of our ability in ios terlng a National spirit of real inde pendence and preparedness on the part of our Federal Government for greater service to mankind."

Familiarity of Attorney With Judge Relied I'pon In Salt for Share in H. D. Winters' Estate. Because Circuit Judge Henry E. Me Ginn refused to decide in favor of Will E. Purdy in the suit to annul Purdys purported deed to property In the H. D. Winters' estate, valued at 1100.000, In spite of the fact that the late Thomas O'Day, an intimate friend of the jurist, was attorney for Purdy. Purdy con tends that Judge McGinn is not a prop er person to try the recent case filed to review the former Issues in an affi davit filed yesterday to support a mo tion for change of venue. Purdy recites In his affidavit that he employed Attorney O'Day because the lawyer . was intimate with the Judge who tried his case, and virtually admits he expected the personal friend ship pf Judj-a Mcfiiaa foe Attorney. ID reggy O O'Day to cause ths Jurist to decide la his favor. In the affidavit. Purdy asserts that upon Judge McGinn annulling the deed, October 24, 1911, he denounced the affi ant "in a manner heretofore unheard of from a Judge who had gone off the bencb at the conclusion of tbe trial In such a friendly attitude." In litigation before Judge McGinn since, Purdy alleges the jurist has, without provocation, accused Purdy of trying to rob the Winters estate. The case in which the motion was filed has been thrown out of court by Judge McGinn. MAY COLD BUT DRY MONTH Precipitation for Nine Months Shows Kxcess of 9.4 0 Inches.
