THE SUNDAY OREGCXNIAN. PORTLAND. FEBRUARY 21, 1904. PORTLAND'S POLICE FORCE ON DRESS PARADE AT THE AXXUAI. INSPECTION AT THE ARMORY. POLICE ON PARADE Annual Inspection Held vat the Armory. MAYOR PRAISES THE FORCE Freedom From Grafting and Fine Dis cipline Meet Mr. Williams' Ap provalActivity in Politics ' is Forbidden. Portland's guardians of the peace did themselves proud aj. the Inspection of the police force at the Armory by Mayor "Williams yesterday afternoon. The eight mounted patrolmen demonstrated their ability as equestrians outside the Armory, on Tenth street, while the regular pa trolmen -went through their military maneuvers In the big drlllroom. Mayor "Williams spoke words of praise to the force after the Inspection that were most pleasing to . the . ear of Chief of Police Hunt and Captain Moore, who has had the training of the force in hand, and C. F Beebe, who was present, also expressed himself as well pleased with the military accomplishments of the local sleuths. The Inspection was ordered for 1:30. but long berore that time Chief of Police Hunt and Slg Sichol and C. F. Beebe, of the police committee, were at the Armory. "While Captain Moore was drilling the patrolmen In the drlllroom. Chief Hunt and the police committee were reviewing and giving final Instructions to the mount ed officers on Tenth struct, outside the Armory. Mayor "Williams, accompanied bj City Auditor Thomas C Devlin, arrived at the Armory at 2 o'clock and immediately re viewed the mounted police. The eight horsemen lined up for attention and gave a creditable display of their horseman ship, riding In twos, fours and single file at the pleasure of the Inspecting com mittee. "Attention," ordered Captain Moore, as the Mayor, Chief Hunt and the police committee entered the drlllroom. "Right dress; attention." Captain Moore cast a final glance at his men. Every one of the CO officers was groomed to the last extreme. Not a sign of dust was on a uniform. Shoes that a few hours before had been well coated with webfoot mud were now mirrors re flecting the handsome appearance of the police force and hundreds of brass but tons shone like burnished gold. Chief Hunt and Captains Moore . and Bailey were clothed in their best regi mentals, as well as Sergeants Hogaboom, Carpenter and Slover Truly the police force of Portland was In apple-ple order. "The -command Is ready for Inspection," Chief Hunt announced to Mayor Williams, saluting. Captain Moore put the men through several maneuvers and the smile that o'erspread the countenances of the In specting party was noticeable. As the men stood at pistol Inspection, Mr. Beobe. bowing and saluting, escorted Mayor "Williams through the lines of blue-coated pollcemon. If there was anything In the appearance of the men that could have been Improved the penetrating glances of the Mayor and the police committee failed to see It and nods of approval were everywhere apparent. Captain Moore then put the men through some difficult drills, -which were well ex ecuted throughout and demonstrative of the long and careful training given the force by the Captain. After the inspection. Mayor "Williams advanced, while the officers stood at at tention, and complimented Chief Hunt, Captain Mooro, his subordinate officers and the men In the ranks. "I want, in the first place, to congratulate you on your fine appearance." said the Mayor. "Ap pearances in this world go a great -ways In forming private and public opinion. The judgment of men is guided largely by appearances. People who come here from ether places and see the magnificent buildings, houses, lawns and shrubbery or our city form good opinions of the city, and when strangers see a police force shabbily and carelessly dressed they are likely to form a poor opinion of the way in which the duties of the force are dis- harged, but if they see a force finely dressed, as you are. in dean, heat and handsome uniforms, they will form a good opinion. "It is not necessary for me to say that discipline ,1s an absolute necessity In a police force. Without discipline everything would "be in poor order. Although it may seem a little severe and objectionable at times, discipline Is finally regarded by those who first dislike It the most as a good thing. The first duty of a soldier Is to obey the orders of his superior officers, and the first duty of a policeman Is to obey bis superiors. j "You are In the service now under civil service rules and under sveh are entitled to promotion according to your ability and the discharge of your duties. This furnishes an incentive to men to discharge their duties in the best manner possible and to acquaint themselves with -the work of the department for the benefit of the service. "One word about politics. Every po liceman has a right to vote as he pleases'. His position does not depend on his poli tics, but as I understand it an officer has no right to use his official position to further political ideas of others. "When I came Into office all I could hoar about the police force was grafting, grafting, grafting. Since Chief Hunt took charge of the department none of this has occurred. No respectable per son has been to see me to state a sus picion of grafting. It Is true that the newspapers have had considerable to say about it. but it is a practice common in all cities to criticise the police depart ment. I have been in the City of Port land for -40 years and I know tvhat I am saying when I state that at the present time we have the best police force in the history of the city. Discharge your duties to the best of your ability and you .will reflect credit upon yourselves, the Police Department alW my administration." Auditor Devlin addressed a few compli mentary remarks to the force, after which Mr. Beebe addressed the men. thanking them for their exhibition which had caused the Mayor to speak so flatteringly of the department. EXTENT OF THE PIANO TRADE mm FAST HORSES Hunt Club Race for Downing Cup Will Be Exciting. MORENGO'S CHANCE IS GOOD E. M. Lazarus on His New Mount, and E. T. Chase on Oregon Kid, Are the Most Formidable Entries. The Wasp, of San Francisco, Under the Above Caption, Has This to Say About Wiley B. Allen. . Whose Headquarters for So Many Years Was in This City. The most noteworthy event that has ever taken place In trade circles on this Coast was the sale and transfer of the entire stock, agencies and good will of the standard and pioneer piano house of Zeno Mauvals to the Wiley B. Allen Company. The transfer, from its magnitude. Is do serving of mention, and It places the Wiley B. Allen Company to the very fore In the particular line of trade to which the corporation caters, and It is note worthy the strides that have been made by that company. Tho founder and head of the Wiley B. Allen Company came to this city two years ago, and engaged at once In competition with the old-established houses, which, prior to his coming, appeared to be so strongly entrenched as to be almost invincible In their control of the piano trade of the city and state. Mr. Wiley B. Allen, however, had been suc cessfully engaged In the business before coming here, and had a house In Portland and Seattle. Hk standing with the manu facturers, and h!s ample resources, direct ed by his great executive and administra tive ability, soon made him a factor here. He operated on broad-guage plans, and by popular methods he has attracted to his establishment the very best of patronage. The result Is that today he stands to the very foremort of the trade, and has branch houses established In all thtf lead ing centers on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Allen is aggressive and enterprising, and since his coming here nas infused a new life . into the special line of trade In which he dominates. The company occupies the entire eight-story building at SSI and 983 Market street. The warerooms on the street floor are a magnificent exposition of the highest grade of pianos made by famous names In the piano trade. The several other floors are devoted to special departments, and are well worthy of a visit, as they furnish an Illustration of the extent of the piano trade in the West. Mr. Allen purchases from the leading makers by the y&inload. and he carries in stock from 75 to 1000 pianos, besides the Instruments carried at his various branch houses, and those held at his ca pacious warehouses here and 1n other cities. We have it from good authority that, during the several weeks preceding Christmas, the bouse disposed of no less than 140s) pianos, which, it must be ad mitted, is not only an Indication of the prosperity of the state, but an Index to the enormous business transacted by the company. Riders and their mounts who will race for the Mrs. F. O. Downing cup: E. 1. Lazarus .. Morenpo E. T. Chase... Oregon Kid n. H. Jenkins..! Rolic Frank Robertson.... i.. Nellie .Buford H. W. Metzger Cricket J. T. Dillon . Pat Emmett Brown Budget A. II. Cronln Wlgg F. O. Downing Baby W. C Noon ...Flymont James Nlcol i . .Bcrnato E. R. Eldredge r Bob Mrs. F. G. BuSum... Tillamook Mrs. J. V. Rounsefell ..'..Denis Who Is going to win the Mrs. FT Q Downing cup Monday afternoon? This is the question that the members of the Portland Hunt Club are asking themselves, and It Is a question to J which every one of them would give a great deal to know the correct answer. There are many good horses entered for the event and Just as many clever riders. Every member wants to win the cup. and with anything like weath er for the day, one of tho largest crowds that has ever attended a Hunt Club event will journey to Irvlngton track, j whero the winners will finish. Although many horses are entered : for the honor of capturing tho trophy, I the wise ones concede that the race will be between E. M. Lazarus Mor engo and E. T. Chase and his mount, Oregon Kid. In this race, however, like any event of this sort, there are plenty of chances for upsets, and after all, the cup may be won Ty the slowest horse, whose rider has saved his mount every foot of the long, hard route. Morengo, big and strong as he is, carrying Mr. Lazarus, with luck at the blinds and over the Jumps, should be one, two. While it is true that he has not been tried over a paper-chase route, and. In a measure is a green jumper, if he is anywhere near the leaders when they strike the Irvlngton track, he ought to outrun the Oregon Kid, who, though a game youngster and thoroughly at home in this sort of racing, will be very tired. President Downing Is go ing to rido his favorite mare. Baby. She is not a winged Pegasus, but when it comes lo'standlng a bruising ride, she can stand it and have something left at thb finish. There are other horses also that will give the winner a race before the finish is reached. So far as 1b known, only two women wfll ride through. They are Mrs. F. G. Buffum, who will ride Tillamook, and Mrs. J. V. Rounsefell. who will ride Dennis. Mrs. Buffum is one of. the pluckiest riders In the club, willing to accept a hazard with the most daring and a rider suro to be a contender if she has any sort of luck going over the route. The same may be said of Mrs. Rounsefell. It was expected that a number of ladles would ride through, but up to last night Mrs. Buffum and Mrs. Rounsefell were the only two to send In their entries. There aro sev eral other ladles who may yet decide to try for tho cup, who will not have made up their minds until the horses are lined up for the start. There was some talk yesterday about a number of the riders losing all hope of winning the cup because they felt that it was as good as won by Morengo or Oregon Kid They look upon the event as a two-horse affair. Perhaps it will be, but tho chances of an out sider landing first Jook very good. The start of the race will be from tho Pied mont water-tower. The route selected for the chase by Mrs. Downing and Mr. Strain Is not an easy one, and the rider and horse that negotiate it will need no reminder to recall the fact that they have been In a chase. The run will cover about eight miles. The last two miles Is practically on the flat, giving an excellent chance for every rider to make up any ground lost over blinds. A large, section of the fence near the seven-eighths pole at the Irvlngton race track will be removed and it is at this point that the leaders will enter for the final dash for the finishing flag, which will be in front of the grand stand. The Idea of having tho finish at this point Is an excellent one, for it will give the spectators a splendid op portunity to witness the finish. T. S. McGrath, M. F. H., specially re quests that the riders be on hand so.as to start promptly at the hour named, 2:30. The Judge at the start will be J. W. Cruthers and at the finish, he will be assisted by Will Q. MacRae. WORK OF WOMAN'S EXCHANGE Home-Cooked Foods a Specialty That Appeals to Housekeepers. A visit to the Woman's Exchange, 424 Washington street, near Twelfth, will prove of value to any one Interested in women's work. The results of the ex change committee have demonstrated tho need for such an Institution In this city, as well as San Francisco, Oakland and other places where success has rewarded the public-spirited women who are will ing to give their time and energies to help people toward self-support. Such a variety of things are found on the shelves, in tho window and showcases of their place that every one will find something useful or ornamental that is needed. They now have contributors of home made bread, cakes, cookies and salads and many ladles have already found it most convenient to drop In and leave an order or buy some of the good things In this line. An English woman Is prepared to furnish such orange marmalade as we hear of, from the old country. Those who wish to leave orders In advance for home made candies or delicacies may be sure every care will be taken and the ladles of the committee will be grateful ior such assistance in the good cause.

The Japanese mass meeting held in the Japanese Hall, First and Couch streets, last night, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings held in this city since the beginning of the Japanese- Russian War. Among the prominent lo cal subjects of the Mikado who delivered addresses were. Shigehlde Toklyeda, K. Ohama, H. Kumamoto and K. Ohkubo. The addresses delivered were mostly patriotic and roused the enthusiasm of tho Japs, whose applause at times drowned the voices of the speakers.
