Happy Aggregation.
MUCH AMUSEMENT PLAN
Greeters of America, Duo Here In

Plans for Entertainment of
Visitors Under AVar.
When the roses bloom again along
the river meaning, of course, June and
the Willamette Portland will play
hostess to & happy aggregation whose
hailing sign is the hearty handshake,
the Greeters of America.
It was largely for the purpose of
discussing plans for the National con
vention of hotel men that the ureeters
of Oregon assembled in session In
Portland yesterday, jollied one another
with professional fluency and devised
amusement for June 17, 18 and 19, when
the cities of America will send several
hundred hotel clerks and managers as
delegates.
These plana were discussed at a busi
ness meeting yesterday forenoon in the
Hotel Portland, but the afternoon ses
sion, which waa held In the Multnomah
HoleL waa strictly utilitarian in its
devotion to subjects related to the
practical end of operating a hotel desk.
It waa called an "educational session."
and the Greeters awapped ldeaa for
handling recalcitrant or peevish guests,
promoting geniality and goodwill be
tween house and patron and otherwise
preserving the tribal repute for suavity,
courteousness and aplomb.
Riley Asaeag Speakers
Several speakera appeared before the
afternoon session, among them being
Frank . Branch Riley, who will orate
through the East on a crusade for

ber of trenchant truths on the advan
tagea of using home products In local

plause. Ha waa followed by Lieutenant Bur
nett, of the British army, who yarned
of the western front, of America's duty
and destiny In the great war, of the
part that hotelmen may play In assist
ing. The Greeters wanted to elect
Lieutenant Burnett as a member in
pood atandlng by a viva voce vote, but
desisted when Chairman Schrelter ruled
that running a recruiting station was
not keeping an inn.
Crowd Expected la Jane.
According to C. D. Schrelter, presi
dent of the Greeters of Oregon, the
outlook for a large attendance at the
National convention here next June is
enhanced by lively polltlca within the
organisation. For Instance, there Is to
be a triple scrap for the honor of being
host to the next convention. Texas,
with 'Ban Antonio and Houston both
-mentioned. Kansas City and Mlnne
apolla, will all aend large delegations
to vie for the prise.
New Tork may aend a special train
In its determination to elect "Bobby"
Farrell, of the Hotel Plaza, as presi
dent of the organization. Against him
In the field Is K. Fuller, of the Ange
lus. In Los Angeles, who has been given
the endorsement of the Michigan char
ter, the largest In the association. It
ia anUelpated that Michigan will back
Its perference by a large delegation.
Detroit is Interested in the candidacy
of John Faxon, of the Hotel Wayne, for
chairman of the National board of gov
ernors, who has the Michigan endorse
ment aa well. Opposed to this selec
tion are Minnesota and the two Da
kota, who advance "Daddy" Sears, of
the Kahler House. Rochester. Minn.,
and who will fight strenuously for
their candidate.
Last night, as tha climax to a hard
day'a aesslon. the Greeters held high

by E. E. Larimore. Mark Woodrur, A.
