THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAN, 3IOXDAT, JXJXE 18, 1917.
SCHOOL BOARD TO
ELECT PRESIDENT
0. M. Pluromer, Chosen to Of
fice of Which Law Deprived
Him, Is Candidate.
UNOFFICIAL COUNT IS GIVEN
Jr. Somnier, Again Elected Director,
. Declared to Be Hostile to Super
intendent Alderman ew
Board to Organize Soon.
O. M. Plummer will be elected presi
dent of the School Board at the next
regular meeting on Thursday.
Mr. Plumraer was re-elected a mem
ber of the board on Saturday. Dr. E.
A. Sommer, the new member of the
board, probably will be sworn in at
Thursday's meeting, as the official can
vass of Saturday's vote doubtless will
be completed before that time.
It has been the custom in the past
for the School Board to elect each suc
ceeding member as chairman at the be
ginning of the last year of his term.
Under this rule Mr. Plummer would
have been elevated to the chairmanship
this week. But the last Legislature,
acting under the pressure applied by
Mr. IJlummer"s enemies who were dis
satisfied with the way the schools are
operated, changed the law reducing the
terms of the directors from, five years
to three years. This law was intended
to force Mr. Plummer out of office a
year before his term naturally would
have expired.
Friends Stood by Plummer.
Inasmuch as Mr. Plummer was most
active in securing the National Educa
tion Association Convention for Port
land this year, his friends both in and
out of the schools insisted on his run
ning again.
The people re-elected him. The same
election, however, swept out of office
the veteran director, J. V. Beach, who
has served as a member of the board
for four successive terms an aggre
gate of 20 years.
Saturday's election was attended by
about as much apathy as the usual
school election. Even the fact that the
property qualification had been re
moved did not seem to bring out many
additional voters. It is estimated that
no more than 9000 people voted barely
10 per cent of the registration.
On account of the great multiplicity
of candidates, it was thought a heavier
vote would come out.
Unofficial Count Iff Complete
The complete unofficial returns on
earh of the 16 candidates follows:
Dr. E. A. Sommer. 4216; O. M. Plum
mer, 3243; W. L. Rickman, 3141; J. V.
Beach, 2728: U. D. Maxson, 1168; Mrs.
Ferdinand E. Reed, 837; D. R. Norton,
722: Oren R. Richards, 607; Mrs. Maria
L. T. Hidden. 468; W. B. Streeter, 350;
Ina Coleman, 334; Mrs. George M. No
lan, 281; Emilie E. Beyer, 240; B. F.
Mulkey. 103; Clarence D. Porter, 79; Ed
mund Myers, 73.
Mr. Mulkey withdrew from the race
several days before the election, but the
official ballots, with his name upon
them already had been printed, and 103
people voted for him anyway.
It is probable that the new board
will organize and start Its year's busi
ness before the end of the week. The
other members, besides Dr. Sommer and
Mr. Plummer, are Dr. Alan Welch
Smith, N. G. Pike and Dr. J. Francis
Drake.
Dr. Sommer Hostile to Alderman.
Dr. Sommer is avowedly hostile to L.
R. Alderman, the present Superintend
ent of Schools. The other members of
the board are understood to favor Mr.
Alderman. Dr. Sommer is not par
ticularly enthusiastic over Mr. Plummer
as the prospective chairman of the
board, but it is understood that the
other members favor Mr. Plummer and
that he can be elected if he wants the
honor.
It is the desire of Mr. Plummer's
friends to have him officiate' as chair
man of the board during the sessions of
the National Education Association
next month.

THIRD OREGON RESUMES WORK
AS ROSE FESTIVAL CLOSES
Outpost Duty, Patrolling, Bayonet Drill and Reconnaissance Problems
Now Are Occupying Time of Guardsmen.
BY WILL, G. MAC RAE.
WITH the Third Oregon Regiment,
June 17. (Special.) The mili
tary parade of the Rose Festival
broke into the working schedule of the
Third Oregon, and now that the play"
time Is over the regiment faces a sched
ule that Is even harder than that of the
previous week. Yet In spite of taking
part In the military parade, the 77
hours that the programme called for,
was made up and kept to the minute.
The schedule for the coming week,
while It does not call for as many
hours of drill and school, demands a
great deal of advance work, which
means hard study by both officers and
men. For instance, there Is an advance
in the ayonet drill. There will be the
test of accuracy in defense and attack
such little tests of accuracy as thrust
ing the point of the bayonet throush a
small ring.
About th.ee nights of the week will
be given over to outpost wota, patrol
ling and reconnaissance for positions
In the daytime that are to be occupied
after dark. There is also on the pro
gramme a series of practice marches,
calling for a tix-mile hike.
Third Oregon Band Praised.
From Band Leader Downey down, the
bandmen of the Third Oregon are see
ing red, and all because a reporter in
writing about the military parade said
that the "Coast Artillery band was the
best band in the parade." "What the
band men In the Tiird Oregon cannot
understand Is why it was necessary to
have a "best."
The reporter failed to say why this
Dand or that band was best. Did he
mean best" because h' was partial to
the Const Artillery band or because
parrot-like he was repeating what some
girl with a sweetheart in the Artillery
band said? Everybody, far and near,
knows that the Coast Artillery band is
a smashing good organization, but It
was not just fair to the other bands In
the line to single out one organization.
Mr. Downey had 32 men in the Third
Oregon band. No mention was made by
this reporter about the largest number
of instruments in line, nor did he men
tion tha when the Third played "Stars
an. Stripes Forever" tuat the Third
Regiment band played It as It never
was played before on the streets of
Portland. While praise-singing is be
ing done, it might be well to mention
in paasir g that Mr. Downey has a splen-
did organization, and now that tl.e band
is to be increased ten more members
therewlll be p band on the Coast that
will compare with it. One of the new
members, a crack cornetist, is coming
from "Washington, D. C.
The Third Oregon band Is beginning
to get Its Instruments from the War
Department. Saturday Captain Logus,
regimental Adjutant, signed for a flute
and a piccolo. The piccolo is valued at
J45 and the flute at ?90. "When the
band Is complete It will have SS mem
bers. Recruiters Sent to Astoria.
Sergeant Bannister and Sergeant
Scldmore, Company F, -have been de
tailed on a recruiting ' staff that will
go to Astoria.
The Southern Pacific Is going to help
recruit the Third Oregon and going to
aid recruiting In a practical way.
Colonel John L. May has been notified
by the railroad officials that any man
who makes the proper showing that he
desires to enlist in the Third Oregon
will be furnished transportation to
Clackamas In order that he may en
list at the Third Regiment Oregon In
fantry camp.
Colonel C. E. Dentler. through First
Lieutenant Harry C. Brumbauch, has
issued instructions which will prevent
the buying of soldier clothing and
other equipment. Colonel Dentler
urges the punishment of soldiers who
sell their clothing. Colonel Dentler has
instructed all company commanders
that, after the regular Saturday In
spection, to appoint three members of
each organization, whose duty It will
be to check up the property of all the
men In that company. Hereafter old
and wornout clothing must not be
thrown away, but must be properly
surveyed before being destroyed.
The Vaughn-street grounds is not the
only place where real baseball is
played. Here at camp the soldiers ar
playing the game, and playing It ac
cording to schedule and the rules. So
far three games of the schedule have
been played. The first game was be
tween Companies A and B. The bat
teries were: Company A. Champion
and Allen, Watts and Malarkey (son of
Dan Malarkey, Portland attorney). A
won from B, 6-2. Huck and Statmaker,
Company L. beat Jenkins and Derking,
Company F. 9-3. Company A came
back and defeated Headquarters Com
pany, 8-4. Snyder and White being the

BIG FILM SHOWN TWICE
Women Appearing In Dances Under
Direction of Monsieur Marcel.
Miss Ilelene Hewitt Is One
Principal In Rose Dance.
Portland's playground on the banks
of the Willamette, the Oaks, was the
gathering spot for 14,980 happy folk
who enjoyed themselves according to
their individual tastes and moods In the
great field of attractions, nature and
man-made.
One of the big treats enjoyed was the
singing of two newly written but al
ready popular patriotic songs composed
by Jay B. Tower, of Marshfield. In a
desire to do his "bit." Mr. Tower wrote
these songs "May God Bless You and
the Red, White and Blue," and "We're
Going to Fight for Uncle Sammy" a
few weeks ago, stirring In their words
and set to swinging music.
Another surprise on the programme
was the ballet number by Monsieur
Marcel, entitled the "Dance of the
Rose." It was an artistically arranged
dance, embracing the characteristics of
the Russian ballet and the Grecian ef
fects. The young women participating
are all Portlanders. and hundreds of
their personal friends welcomed the
premier appearance of Portland's only
ballet master and the young women ho
has trained for this occasion.
Monsieur Marcel and Miss Helene
Hewitt appeared as the principals In
the "Dance of the Roses." and Misses
Maxlme Maxwell and Kmllie Michel
beautifully presented a veil specialty.
The dance was given In the at.ditorium
with the Metropolitan orchestra accom
panying. The famous film "Civilisation" was
shown twice yesterday. Hundreds
brought their lunches and spent the day
at the Oaks.
