Debts Now Total $2537. PATRIOTISM IS FORECAST Owners of vacant property in Port land will receive no mercy at the bands of the Municipal Court in case they are placed under arrest for permitting weeds and grass to grow upon 'such property. This was announced by Judge Stevenson yesterday, who declared that any such violators of the law would be sentenced to the limit. With the present need for food prod ucts in this country, I consider it a crime to permit vacant property to be peeled Opposition to Continuation of Show Falls to Develop. Pledges of Loyalty and Funds Presented. Portland will hold the Rose Festival this year as usual. This was determined last nlgrht at a poecial meeting' of the Portland Rose festival Auxiliary at the Chamber of Commerce. J. E. Werlein is chairman and Mosessohn secretary of this organization, which represents 525 or ganizations in Multnomah County. President Larimore, of the Rose Fes tival Association, pledged the manage ment to expend the money entrusted to it to give Portland the best possible Festival and that no debts or unpaid jianuities will be incurred. There was but one dissenting vote last night when the motion that the Festival be held was put. This was trom Mrs. M. wyvllle, who represented the Portland Woman's Research Club. She said at a recent meeting of that organization, attended by 120 women, a resolution opposing a Festival this year was adopted unanimously. NoIy Element Opposed. Expected opposition to the Festival aid not develop at last night" s meet ing. Every speaker, save Mrs. Wy- vine, favored a Rose Festival on pa triotic lines, with some of the more noisy element of former fetes elimi nated. It was the general agreement that the coming Festival shall be a striking object lesson in patriotism. Charles F. Berg moved that expendi tures be limited to 115.000 this year. The plan was opposed and did not carry. A pledge not to entail any un paid bills was then made by President ! Larimore. A feature of last night's meeting. wnlch was a special one called to con sider a petition lately presented by Portland business men asking that the 1917 Festival be not held, was the reading of a resolution adopted by the Chamber of Commerce favoring the Festival and pledging $1000 to it. Patriotic Spirit Forecast.? ' Joseph F. Morris, of Vancouver, B. C, representing the War Dance and Carnival, to be given there this year. spoke briefly, advising that the Festl' val be not abandoned, as he said it Is known widely and has become a great attraction. lie said Portland can do more good by giving the Festival and a more patriotic spirit will be created thereby than by abandoning it. President Larimore explained the circumstances the directors face and referred to the objections that have been made to the 1917 Festival. He said that when the war began he tele graphed President Wilson and asked his advice In the matter. The Presi dent replied that he thought it would be a good thing to carry out the ar rangements and that be would press a button at the White House to start the Festival If that action was de sired. "Why pick on us?" asked Mr. Lari more. "There is no talk of calling off the National Education Association convention here next July, nor is the suggestion to stop baseball, dancing parties, theaters, teas and any other of the usual diversions ever heard." Recreation In War Recalled. He referred to the fact that "Verdun held its annual sweet pea festival last year while the place was being shelled and that the soldiers on the western front are playing football between drives. Resolutions favoring the ' Festival adopted by the Oregon State Hotel Association were read, as were similar expressions from the Salesmen's Club and the East Side Business Men's Club. A. F. Flegel said frequent objections to good or new things have been heard in Portland and that he believed the Festival the highest type of patriotism for Portland, either last year, this year or next year. C. C. Chapman suggested that op ponents to the Festival did not under stand clearly the situation and that when they do they will fall in lin'e with a revival of the old Portland spirit. Obligations Total 2537. Dr. Alan Welch Smith, chairman of the finance committee, said obllga tions amounting to $2537 have been in curred and that the Festival is com matted to that expenditure in any event. During the meeting Al Kader Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine, which met last night, telephoned in a subscrip tion of $100 to the Festival fund. The ElKs added assurances of their sup port. J. E. Currey said he is advised by letters from England that the National Rose Society is going ahead there with plans for its annual rose show, even though the country is in the midst of war. Li M. Lepper, Gus Moser, Miss Viola Ortschild, J. E. Dundore and others spoke for the Festival, and when C. Bratton made the motion that the Festival be indorsed unanimously, it was carried with but one opposing voice.
