Iraminatlon or Each Venireman
Requires From One to Two Honrs
and One-Half Lawyers' Tiffs
Delay tbe Selection.
Although sis days have been con
sumed In the examination of veniremen
as to their qualifications to serve as
Jurors In the trial of Lou la J. Wilde.
Jointly Indicted with W. Cooper Morris
for the larceny by embeixlement of
1)0.000 of the funds of the Oregon Trust
A Savings Bank, a Jury has not been
Impaneled. The state hair used only
one of Its three peremptory challenges
while the defense has only exercised
three of the six peremptorles allowed
In criminal cases. It Is doubtful If the
Jury can be completed before Wednes
day. Everything depends on how many
of the veniremen disqualify themselves
as Jurors during their examination and
at the same time the amount of time
that Is wasted by. opposing counsel in
purely time-consuming and more or less
vitriolic controversies which have al
ready characterised the proceedings.
A a rule it requires from an hour to
two and one-half hours for both sides
to dispose of a venireman.

street on cross streets. The privilege
will be most largely used on G street,
which was the scene of the original
disturbance and where subsequent dis
turbances were staged.
The first test of the new ordinance
probably will be made tonight. One of
the provisions or the ordinance to
which the workers have agreed Is that
no defamatory remarks concerning the
city, county, state or National officials
shall be made and that no inflama
tory utterances shall be Indulged In
If trouble arises It will be over these
two provisions.

James J. Hill has been requested to
be the leading gruest of honor and
speaker at the annual "Rose PlantlnK
Day" ceremonies which will be held as
usual, on Washington's birthday. Feb
ruary 22'. An urgent Invitation to the
head of the Great Northern system has
been sent by Dr. Emmet Drake, who
will have charge of the event and who
has been prominently Identified with
former planting days and with the
Rose Festival and the Rose Show.
In addition to having Mr. Hill here.
Dr. Drake hopes to have Governor West
on the speaking programme, with
Mayor Rushlight and the Mayors of
Oregon City and Vancouver, as well as
other prominent persons in public and
business life.
park Yet to Be Chosen.
As now .planned the formal cere
monies In connection with this novel
Winter function will take place In one
of the public parks, in the Mount Tabor
Park preferably, although this will
have to be decided by tne uoara oi
Park Commissioners at Its next session.
Strong support of the plan has been
assured Chairman Drake by Emll
Mische. Superintendent of Parks, who
will assist In preparing the planting
spots for the reception of the Portland
queen flower.
While it Is Intended to have one spe
cial place set aside for observance of
this event, the residents and property
owners In all parts of the city are to
be urged to observe the day at their
own homes and to set out as many
roses as they can contemporaneously
with the chief celebration in one of
the parks.
Rose to Be Blessed.
It is probable that the former custom
of having little boys and girls from
the various sections of the city do the
actual work of consigning the plants
to mother earth, will be followed this
year. There also will be the solemn
ceremonial of "Blessing the Rose" by
some church dignitary, together with a
concert by a local band while the pro
gramme Is under way.
"We are Just getting our plans un
der way," said Dr. Drake, last night,
"but from now on we shall keep on
hustling and do our best to make this
a most noteworthy occasion. Portland
has established a fine reputation
throughout the country by dedicating
Washington's birthday to the planting
of our most characteristic and popular
flower and I am confident that Mr.
James J. Hill will give our invitation
most careful consideration. He has
not visited Portland for some time and
this gives him a patriotic opportunity
to come even If he can stay but a day.
Big Delegations Expected.
"The Rose Societies of Tacoma and
Seattle, which are both thriving and
enthusiastic organisations, will bo
asked to send delegations here to par
ticipate In our ceremony. And. besides
all this. I want to ask all our patriotic
citizens to observe the day of rose
planting generally in their own yards.
They can plant their flowers at some
hour which will not conflict with tho
general celebration and if Mr. Hill
comes, everybody will be afforded the
opportunity of hearing him deliver an
address."
The Sons of Norway are planning to
hold their next grand session In Port
land during Rose Festival week, June
10-15. Hans Bugge, of Bellingham,
Wash., grand president of the Pacific
Jurisdiction, has taken the matter up
with the Festival management and It la
expected that suitable arrangements
will be made for bringing the thous
ands of delegates here for that gather
ing. President Bugge advises that a ,
majority of the members are eager to
come here at that time.
