Impressive In sincerity and simplicity
were the ceremonies that marked the

Washing-ton nigh School, held last

A happy smile-wreathed audience

to the stage, where an artistic seating

service flag, thickly studded with stars.
Across the proscenium arch hung fes
toons of greenery and In Its midst was
set a glowing February. 11. Of un
usual and compelling Interest was the
nrogramme.
The girls chorus and the boys' glee
club sang Gounod's "Gtre Out Thy
Light." and the orchestra, under th
able direction of Professor William
Boyer. was heard at Intervals between
the more serious offerings on the pro
gramme. In lightsome, happy music.
Dr. IL D. Sheldon, of the University
of Oregon, delivered the address to the
graduating class. Dr. Sheldon departed
from what he referred to as "the usual
and expected dwelling upon the ren
turlng of the young graduates across
th world's threshold, or what debts
they owe to society for whatever suc
cess Is theirs.
"It Is the tim of war." said Dr.
Sheldon, "and our minds are pre-occupied.
We cannot feel the same light
headedness as on othtr graduating
days, when war clouds were not la our
skies.
"So I feel Justified la directing your
attention to the constructive side or
war. in which you may hare your part,
and the help you may he In making
this war a means of development-
Dr. Sheldon spoke forcibly and with
convincing earnestness, saving that the
"younger generation is developing a
conscience of Americanism It never
could hare dereloped In a time of
peace." and paying high tribute to the
women and girls who are participating
la the big struggle.
Professor H. H. Herdman paid a
beautiful tribute to the class and occa
sioned a demonstration when he said:
"Every member of the class has con
tributed to the liberty loan. Red Cross,
V. M. C. A. and the T. W. C. A. funds
most of them to two or three of these
funds, and many to all of them. The
proceeds of the class play hare been
donated to the T. W. C A. and other
similar funds."
"Fifty-one of the (1 members. said
Mr. Herdman. "hare Indicated their
Intention of continuing their education

morning on charges of picketing:! in
rlolation of an ordinance passed by
the City Council recently, were this
morning released following hearings in
the Circuit and city courts.
The strikers made no attempt to at

claimed that he was detained without
formal commitment.
Judge Campbell held that where an
arrest is made wlthou a warrant and
the prisoner arraigned before a com

ment is necessary. The City Attornay
held that an oral commitment waa suf

The other 16 men under arrest were

Mr. Barbur discussed with members
of the City Council yesterday the ad
visability of the city taking over from
contractors all maintenance work. Sev
eral contractors have maintenance con
tracts from which they derive revenue
from the city. The economy of the
city assuming this work is being investigated.

VIGILANTES ARE FORMED
New Body Organized to Watch Ac
tivities of Enemy Aliens.
Co-operation with the Federal au
thorities in stamping out. sedition and
disloyalty is the purpose of the Vigi
lantes of Portland, an organization of
civilians formed last night at a meet
ing at the Central Library. George R.
Funk, City Auditor, was elected presi
dent of the society, of which C. V.
Robison is vice-president and E. L.
Amldon is the secretary.
The announced purpose of the organ
ization is to investigate all reports of
pro-Germanism, Including alleged sedi
tious utterances and other disloyal acts
on the part of alien enemies. The re
sult of these investigations in every
case is to be reported to the officers
and members of the executive commit
tee of the Vigilantes and by them, if
the facts are found to warrant, sub
mitted to the Federal authorities for
prosecution.
From among the 40 persons attend

City Commissioner Barbur will rec
ommend to the City Council Wednesday
the establishment of a city-owned pav
ing plant instead of accepting one of
the privately-owned plants offered to
the city rent-free for a year. An ex
haustive report on the subject has been
completed by men in Mr. Barbur's of
fice and by an expert from Seattle.
The Barbur plan calls for an expen
diture of about $9300 for the purchase
of a second-hand asphalt plant and a
steam roller. The plant will be In
stalled on property to be 'eased from
the Nickum & Kelly Company on the
East Side waterfront, adjoining the
sand, gravel and crushed rock bunkers
of that company. The city will pay
50 a month rental for the use of that
site.
Bids were opened yesterday for a
year's supply of sand, gravel and
crushed rock. The Nickum & Kelly
bid was considerably lower than the
others submitted. This, Mr. Barbur
says, is in favor-of the placing of the
city plant next to this company's bunk
ers because of the possibility of ob
taining materials there without the ne
cessity of hauling them and thereby
adding considerable to the expense.
Mr. Barbur says he has . conterreu
with representatives of the Warren
Construction Company in regard to the
offer of that company of free use of its
plant for a year and believes it is ad
visable for the city to own its own
plant. He says thts is the view also of
a Seattle expert who went into all
phases of the local situation.
"The Warren Construction Company,"
said Mr. Barbur last night, "insist that
their plant should be used by the city
for maintenance repair work exclus
