And while the finishing touches now are being: made. If it were neces- bary me wnoie paraae couia oe unea up in 24 hours.

Baker, mayor of Portland, and grand marshal of the parade. ; Horses to Draw Floats. While the magnificent floats will '. follow the car tracks and will draw their current from the trolley wires, they will, this year,- not be electric ally propelled. More than 100 picked horses, much-be-plumed and covered with vnrl-pnlftrpil. lect rlc-1 i rhtad blankets, the pick of the stables of the northwest, selected oy umanuei Merman, will draw the floats. In addition to the myriads of lights, hundreds of young women, the most beautiful of Oregon girls, will ride in the dazzling pageant. Alt. llUldltllB UHIIVUIILCU jrcokVlUCbJ that he was ready. In three months . he has accomplished what previously, on- Hose Festival occasions, usually required six months Working three liifts, Mr. Hutchlns started on his stupendous task March 22 with every thing new, even to the crews. Today ho is working two crews to put the Tinely finished touches on the work , which represents an expenditure or ' $i0,000. He announced yesterday that ' to' make it more pleasant and com ' fortable for the nobles who are fa miliar with the "hot sands." real, honest-to goodness desert sand will a.ve the way along the trail of ' march, and that the cushioned foot f the camel also will meet with v homelike terra firma. This sand will .: be . laid between the rails of the tracks along which the electric pa rude will pass.

' It lis probable that others will donate ' some of their animals, for many of th)s array are to appear in the horse shbw at Multnomah field in the eve ; ninpr during the week. Urgent request was made yester- . Sy by Frank S. Grant, chairman of the decorations committee of the J Slfrine, that Portland help the city and convention committees in every a way possible. To this end plea ! made that all possible care be taken i of 'the decorations already up and ; thone going up, and that the franie- J work around the light pojts of the . downtown section be not disturbed Kqports have reached the committee .; thnt already, in many instances, the wooden strips have been torn from thfc, posts, causing great inconven i iesce and double work for the deco j ri4ora. 5' Visitors Already Coining.

Prior to taking over the Portland area of the Methodist Episcopal church. Bishop W. O. Shepard, who arrived in Portland last Friday evening, was eight years resident bishop of the Methodist Episcopal area of Wichita. Kan. Bishop and Mrs. Shepard have taken up resi dence in Portland at the Alexandra Court apartments. Friday eve ning a reception will be tendered the couple at the First Methodist Episcopal church. Rev. William Wallace Youngson having charge of the programme. Bishop Shepard has been engaged in ministerial work for the past 34 years and was ordained minister of the Methodist Episcopal church when 24 years old. At the general conference of the Metho dist Episcopal church held recently in Des Moines the bishop was se cured to take the Portland area, a delegation going from the city es pecially to obtain him for the Portland churches of his denomination. He takes the place of the late Bishop Hughes, who died last Easter Sunday morning while on a visit to the Atlantic coast cities. Bishop Shepard was not averse to coming to Portland, as he has always been a great "booster" of the Rose City. DaTld Smith's Kecord Looked Into and Nothing Fonnd to Create ' Suspicion of Respectability. Reports current that David Smith, one of the three men doing time in the state penitentiary for the Clare- mont tavern murders, is a scion of a wealthy New York family and that Smith is not his real name are not given credence by Portland police. Both Captain of Inspectors Circle and Lieutenant Maloney, who were Instrumental in making the investi gation which sent Smith to the peni tentiary, declared yesterday that they had seen his discharge from the army and that he served under the name of David Smith. Reports that Smith's parents were to come west shortly and start legal proceedings in the effort to get him out of the penitentiary are also be lieved to be false by the police. Records in the possession of Ber- tillion Expert Hunter at the police station show that Smith, under the name of E. Rosel was arrested in King county, Washington, for tres pass and given 30 days on March 27, 1917. Under the same name the record shows he was arrested April 2, 1918, at Stockton, Cal., for government in vestigation as an I. W. W. suspect. The record fails to say what the re sult of that inquiry was. The police officers point to this record as sub stantiating their claim that he is unlikely to be a member of a good family. Added interest in the Claremont tavern shooting has arisen because of the recent alleged confession or James Ogle, now at the state peni tentiary, that he was the man who fired the actual shots which killed J. N. Burgess and George Peringer last November. against 714 in April, 1919, an increase of 163. Of those born in April last year, a few months after the signing of the armistice. 371, or more than half, were boys. Of those born in April. 1920, fewer than half, 413 were boys. "Why is it? Part of the general prosperity, I guess," Dr. Roy H. John son said. "People can afford them and the American people are bound to have what they can afford."

Letter May Give Clew on Theft of $500,000 Worth of Jewels From New York Residence. EAST HAMPTON. N. T.. June 12. Fear that an attempt might be made to harm Gloria, Infant daughter of Enrico Caruso, has caused a heavy guard of private detectives to be thrown around the singer s estate here pending investigation of the half million dollar Jewel robbery which occurred Tuesday. A letter mailed from Weehawken, N. J.. may prove a valuable clew. It described a scene in the employers' dining room of a New York hotel where a negro was said to have ex hibited a pearl necklace which the writer thought was part of the Caruso collection. As an added precaution against kidnaping, all members of the Caruso household with the exception of Mrs. Caruso, have armed themselves, it was learned. Mrs. Park Benjamin Jr, sister-in-law of Mrs. Caruso, has moved here from New York and is doing "guard duty." She is reputed a good shot. the Great Lakes and connecting waterways to the mouth of the Pipeon river. . GERMAN THEATERS CLOSE Heavy Tax and ."Americanism" Blamed for Critical Situation. BERLIN. Taxation amounting to something like 55 per cent of gross revenue and heavy running expenses are responsible for the recent closing down of 60 first-class thaters in Ger many. Many theatrical and operatic companies are said to be in sore financial straits. Few people can af ford to pay for the higher priced seats at the present increased rates and the moving picture houses, with their popular prices, are reaping the bene fit. The management of the Reinhardt concern, which controls the three most important Berlin theaters, states that the latest "luxury" tax alone takes more than 20 per cent of the box office receipts. Boxes and stalls are now rarely booked. The Kapp devolution week, he said, caused the concern a loss of 750,000 marks. Director Barnowsky of the Lessing theater, the home of the drama in Berlin, told a Tageblatt representa tive that the German stage is passing through a most critical period. The atrical budgets, he said, can no longer be balanced. The greatest menace, he said, was "Americanization," by which, he explained, he meant "art for amusement's sake, not for art's sake."

In a report of the luncheon and rally of the alumni workers of New York university's en dowment fund campaign at Hotel ' Biltmore recently, Charles M. Schwab was quoted as giving figures of the greatest sea fighting machine now under construction. This new battle ' cruiser, he said, will be 1000 feet long. 104 feet wide and of 60,000 tons dis placement. It will be ten miles an hour faster than the Lusitania, will carry 12 16-inch guns and will cost about $50,000,000. "The building of enough of these ships will be a simple, way of main taining peace with the world." he : added. "Not that the fighting men desire peace, but because of the fact that when we have such a formidable array of power it is not likely that any country will take it upon itself , to encroach upon our rights. These new ships will be no more powerful or speedier than they should be for the protection of this great United States of America." The occasion for Mr. Schwab's pres ence at the luncheon was the cele bration of "Monitor day." Isaac New ton, class of 1855 of the university, was the engineer In charge below decks on the "Yankee Cheese Box on a Raff during the historic battle with the Merrimac. Rear-Admlral J. H. Glennon. com mandant of the 3d naval district, paid tribute to the achievement of the Monitor.
