The puptls have been drill In steadily for about three weeks and Professor K rohn ex pec La them to be practically perfect In their evolutions when the day of the parade comes. The parade of "Human Rosebuds,' as this pageant has been railed. Is the moM Important contribution to the fes ttval from the Kant Side. It Is financed by the Kast Side Buainew Men s Club, and so proud Is that organization of the success It has achieved In this feature In the past thst It Is preparing to sfK-nd several hundred dollars more this year than It ever spent before In financing; the parade.

"The hief credit should be given to the prin cipals of the school n. the teachers, the mottera and children and to the effi cient director, who has been 4n charge of the parade. The success and grand eur of the parade in past years, as It a til be this year, was due to them. tUnr of the principals have remained after school hours assisting In drilling their children, and have given much time and thought to making their par ticular school one of the moM attractive and best trained of those participating. Man mothers, through their mothers club and Individually, have given much t:me and hard work In m a king cos tumes and helping In all the detailed worlt of theee different special features whtrlt are necessary to make the chil dren s parade the success which It has been -This year we believe, that the num ber of principals and teachers who ill assist In this movement w ill be greater than in years past. Last year her- were approximately 3000 children In tle parade, arvd this year, from pres ent observations. It Is expected there will be at least from l'f) o loOO more chtKren participating. The special feature- of the children's parade thla year will be greater In number, more per fect In their drills and more unique In their character. Oae Prta ie Be Ghes. "At a recent oieeting of the school prlnstpals tt waa voted by their body, that only the one prise be given this year, that to be the Challenge Cap. hit-h Is for the school having the grea tmt percent ace of Its enrollment participating- in the parad. This re ouet wan made to the Kat Hide BueL nejtn Men's Club and will be followed. "the rVhool Bard has in years psst refused to Indorse officially this chll drs'a parade, but have acquiesced In alio etna the children to volunteer ami participate In the parade, all drilling having been done after achool hours. This year. Superintendent Hlgler and the Svhool Board mre fully realising the importance of thin event have offi cially indorsed this part of the Rose Kefttival and are permitting the chil dren participating to leave the school root in sufficient time befo-e dismis sal period, to be arranged In line and realy for their drill, thus preventing t-onfuslon after school hours. Professor Kroin Is thankful for this concession and ) s that It ts the area test help whi-b could be offered him. "h -President Rooeevelt, Governor Wet. Mayor FvusJi light and Mayor rRolfh. of San Francisco, have been ln-vtle-4 to lead and view the parade, (.read Aveawe a a ted. "l'e believe t-t Grand avenue of fers the only street In the City of Port land on which uth an event as this can be tut on effectively, for the reason that Grand avenue ts one of the widest streets In the City of Portland, extend. Ing the entire distance of the central business section on the Kst Side. The larde will be formed north of East Hunmlde treet and will march south to Hawthorne avenue. By marching south it gains advant age of the gradual slope, giving the parsde a more beautiful effe-t and en abling the visitors and spectators to get a better view of the mass of Rosebuds sweeping toward them in a perfect line cf narch. "The Kaat Side Business Men's Club, feeing that It desires to do something to eacourace the interest taken by the pupils of the different schools, and not being permitted to give them prize as in ?ears past, has decided to have a larre picture taken of each school i wbll participates, which will be ap- , prxlate for hanging In a prominent ; p!a-.-. In tie different schools. j "It ears past the grandstand seat ing capacity has not been sufficient to take care cf cur crowds, practically ail cf t he seats being sold In advance of the day of the parade, thus spectators hat been unable to secure seats and hav. been compelled to a-o early in or der to gain a point of vantage. This cat the grandstand capactty will be inor than doubled and It Is thought by t ie member of the grandstand com mittee of the Kast S'.de that all seats art. I be taken within a few day after the are placed on sa. Last year the g t keepers at the grandstanda were offe'ed as high as 1 1 for a single seat, by K tstern people in order that they mtrnt see t he parade. The Mother Clubs this year are tak ing greater Interest than In year past and we are Informed by the prtn t (pa s and tes. hers that the assistance from the Mothers' Clube will make It an easier task for the children to be tra:r ed In the greateat degree of perfec tion and costumed In the most striking manner.

Those thst have been announced, however, are sufficient to arouse enough interest to nil every available vaniuKO point alonft the line of march with spectators on tiie day of the parade. The youns; women of the Irvlngton district will arathrr fresh roses on the momlnir of the parade and before the children begin their march alone Grand avenue, the-y will be driven Ions: the street In cars and decorated motor trucks and will pelt the spec tators with hundreds of fresh rose blossoms. The Cre.ton school, which won the prise for the largest representation in the parades of the past two years, will make a strons; effort this year to win the third decision, which will entitle It to hold the challenge cup that haa been offered. Principals of the schools decided at a recent meet- Ins; to liana" up also a second and third prise this year jnder the same condi tions as the challenge cup. for schools competing In stxe of representation. 11e4 Piper T. Be Portrayed. One of the fanciful new features this year will be portrayal In page antry by the children of the Sunnyslde school of the lecend of the Pled piper of Hamelin. At the head of this sec tion will marcn the Piper, follom-ed by 100 schoolboys costumed as enormous arsy rats. Then will come a band of little sTlrls. and atfer these will follow the b;iromelster and his council and the chll.l impersonators of the frantic muthera who followed and Implored their children to turn back from the lure of the evil piper. The school garden movement has been made the motif of the pageant of children from the Woodstock school. In the march the children m-lll portray the different processes of gardening, from seeding and cultivating to har vesting, and the line wilt close with groups of children bearing garden products. The Vernon school will repeat this year the la pole specialty with which It achieved such success last year, only this time there will fee ten Instead of eight Maypoles In the line, and 3.i0 hlidren wi:l participate, dancing the Maypole dance, as the march progresses along Orand avenue.

L'nlformed baseball teams from the 31 schools In the Grammar School league will march In a body. This section will extend for more than two. blocks In the line of -march and will be one of the largest paradea of its kind thst has ever been heid in the city. The entire parade will extend for more than 30 blocks, and the head of the procession will turn aside and dis band at Hawthorne avenue N?fore the last section has started from lae assem bly place between Burnsl4e and Davis streets. "Kvfrr school and every one of the school children is taking such an In terest In the coming parade as never before. said rrolessor Krohn. "and tills year we will be able to present to the visitors to the Portland Kose Fes tival the most magnificent collection of 'humsn rosebuds' In our school pa rade that they have ever looked upon. ITALIANS OBJECT TO SEWER CONNECTIONS WITH HOME. Irate Hou.HOMife Stands Over Exca vation Vntll Worker, Sent by City, Disappears. A plumber sent out yesterday by the City Health Board to make sewer con nections In the Italian colony In the gulch west of the Southern Pacific bridge on Fourth street, was uncere moniously routed by the woman of the household upon whose land he sought to work. She enforced her objections by standing over the hole that had been dug the day before.' and refusing to budge until the plumber disappeared. Sewer connections In that district have been a bone of contention for many months, and about four weeks ago the City Health Board took a hand. Houses of two members of the colony adjoin and are hedged In on all sides by private property. For their mutual accommodation parcels of the prop erty were set aside as an alleyway. anltary conditions recently called for the attention of the Health Board, and lr. Wheeler opened negotiations for connecting a sewer from the prop erty to a lateral that ends at a point under the private alleyway. One of the families was willing and the other waa not. Friday, after long debate between the health office, -the willing family and the unwilling fam ily, a police officer accompanied the plusher to the scene. A dole was made for- the connection. Yesterday the plumber returned alone, and was driven away by the Irate Italian woman. CARD Of thanks.

Answering to a suit for ll, the nrlce of printing 10.000 campaign cards, rharles W. Garland, recently a candi date for the primary nomination for Justice of the Peace, set fwrth In Justice. Bell's court yesterday that the cards were to have been printed free of charge. "In consideration of certain t-romlses made by this defendant. Gar land's opponents In the suit "charge that the "certain promises" were to the effect that if elected he would de liver all or part of the public printing under bis control to the plaintin com oan v. Garland denies that the pledge took Inst this form, but refused to say aen mtelv what it was. "I'll have to look the matter ud first-" he said, "and see if I have violated the Corrupt Prac tlces Act." Suit Is Filed. Suit was filed several days ago by S. J. Kamtnskv. a collection agent, on behalf of the Chausse. Prudhomme f-omnanv. Garland tiled answer set- tire ud the defense as above, and en tering a counter claim for $1.50. the value of an electrotype in the pos session of the printing company. His answer was demurred to on the ground that-the promise should be set forth la terms, but the court ruled that its nature could be brought out at the trial on the merits, and the case will now co to trial. "If I have violated the election laws," said Garland, "I'll have to kick through with the money. It looks like I was hookeu. all right. These people sent a renresentatlve to me before the pri mary, saying that they wanted a square deal on the public printing if I was elected, and I promised to give it to th.-m. Then it was agreed mat iney would furnish me the cards, really without charge, but would place a nrmlnal orice on them, in order to L,n .nnarent faith with other printers .ho had agreed not to "do this sort of business." Practice Commoa He Says. Garland asserts that the practice has been common in recent campaigns, and says he has the name of one candi date who was furnished with 100.000 pieces of printing free of charge, under a like promise. So far as the printers are concerned, the act Is allowable. It is said, coming under the provision which allows friendly contributions up to 50. Any promise, however, given by the condidate and binding him as to acts to be performed after his election, is an infraction of the statute, accord ing to the District Attorney. The printing company denies that any such promise as alleged by Garland, was solicited by them or received. Garlandln his statement of expendi tures under the Corrupt Practices Act, listed the bill In dispute, certifying thst he had paid or undertaken to pay lis for tha printing. POSTMASTER WANTS ROOM Additional Floor Space In Basement Requested by Mr. Merrick. If recommendations made yesterday by Postmaster Merrick are carried out by the Treasury Department, altera tions will be made In the basement of the Federal building which will give 1200 additional feet of floor space for sorting and distributing city paper mall. The section of the basement that Mr. Merrick would use for this pur pose Is a room In the northwest corner now used as a locker room and rest room for carriers and clerks. The recommendations call for a hydraulic elevator to expedite handling of mall from wagons. B. C. Adams, of the supervising archW teefs office at Washington, is In Port land and will confer with Mr. Merrick regarding the desired alteration. Although alterations are now being made In the mailing room, there Is not sufficient space in which to handle the increasing malls to advantage. Mrs. Rlngrose. Suffragist, Arrive. Mrs. Mary E.
