Istvlng Up to Ideals of Duty.
With Mayor Baker, the city com
missioners and directors of the Rose
Festival association in the reviewing
stand the annual inspection and re
view of . the Portland uniformed po
lice was held yesterday morning at
Multnomah field in conjunction with
the Royal Rosarians.
To music furnished by the Multno
mah Guard band under the leadership
of Drum Major Freiberg?, and the band
of the Royal Rosarians, the police
and the Rosarlan irill team paraded
the field. A gold star was presented
to Chief of Police Jenkins br tlie di
rectors of the Rose B'estival associa
tion as a feature of the occasion and
medals were presented by - Mayor
Raker to Insnector Tackaberry and
Patrolman Finn, both of who.n had
figured in successful duels with gun
men on the streets ot rortiana.
Mavor Baker, who is still compelled
to use crutches as a result of the fall
sustained at the auditorium a week
ago, commended the work of the po
lice department In an address made
in connection with the presentation of
the medals to the two officers.
It Is the duty of the police to treat
the public with every consideration
and to give efficient service, and the
police department ot the city ot fort
land is living: up. to that ideal," he
declared. . : :
He told the patrolmei.. that It was
the policy of the administration to
give promotion as the result of serv
ice. He commended the chief of po
lice and the various qaptalns and lieu
tenants for their work,- and also
touched upon the work of the in
spectors operating under Captain Cir
cle in clearing up the Harry Dubinsky
murder Friday.
"Work like that," he said, "gives
the public more confidence."
The gold star was presented to Chief
of Police Jenkins by Eric V. Houser,
president of the Rose Festival asso
ciation. Chief Jenkins responded with
a few words of- appreciation. . ;
The work which resulted in Patrol
man Finn being honored with a medal
was a gun battle which he had with
three holdup men in April of the
year 1918. - He killed one of the trio.
John Luttl, and arrested the other
two, the arrest putting an end to the
wave of crime. -in the city , at that
time. ' , - .
Inspector Tackaberry engaged in a
gun duel and killed Edward Lancas
ter in January of the same year at
the corner of Second . and Alder
streets. Lancaster was a notorious
gun man and robber.
. The police appeared on the field
under the command of Police Captain
Moore. Companies were in charge of
Captains lnskeep. Harms, Lewis and
Thatcher.
The motorcycle patrolmen under
the leadership of Lieutenant Ervln
of the traffic bureau were a feature
of the review and made a good dem
onstration. Before the policemen marched in
review the drill team of the Royal
Rosarians put on some fancy drills
and formations. -
The police marched to and from the
field through various streets of the
down town section. , '

answered the colored man with a
smile. "My car was in the garage

sacks of mail await the three special
trains from that city.
Two hundred Jesters, members of
an organization inside the Shrine,
will convene at the Concordia club at
2 P. M. today for their business ses
sion. At' that meeting they will elect
13 Portland Jesters, who have pre
viously been selected- by scouts of
the organization.
The 13 Portlanders will then re
ceive a .Jester charter and after or
ganization will themselves select 13
other Jesters..
The 200 Jesters., with the 26 Port
land Jesters, will meet at dinner at
the Concordia club at 8 P. M.
The Jesters is entirely " self-perpetuating.
Each "Jester temple has
the power to add 13 Jesters to its
number : at every Imperial session.
Hence, at the Portland seslon, all the
temples with Jester organizations
will .hold individual sessions, and
elect the 13 new Jesters from their
home city.
Applications for Jester membership '
"are taboo. To aply for membership

that be sufficient to insure his defeat. .
William S. ' Brown, imperial treas-
urer of the Shrine, heads the Jesters j
and he has made plans, so it is re
ported, for an elaborate amusement
programme and Initiation for the
Portlanders that will rival anything
in Shrine annals.
Just as the Shrine is the fun-loving
branch of Masonry, so is the Jesters
the exaggerated fun-making organi
zation carried to the 'nth degree.
While the Jesters are meeting for
dinner in the Concordia club, the
wives of the eastern Jesters will be

' elected Portland Jesters at dinner at

Proverbial railroad efficiency is
ery much on tne Job and in com
plete readiness to handle with a
minimum of confusion the vast num
ber of special trains which will bring
he thousands of red-fezzed nobles to
Portland for the big conclave of
shrinedom.
So complete in detail are the local
railroad arrangements, that within
ten minutes after a Shrine special
has come to a stop at the union sta
tion, a switch engine will have' been
attached and will begin puffing its
way through the yards to park the
train at its allotted place fof the
week..
Special telephone arrangements
have been made by B. E. rainier, man
ager . of the . Northwestern Pacific
Terminal company, to notify the lo- '
cal reception committee a few
moments before each special arrives
at the terminal yards. The local
committee will then have its. own
delegates at the station to take care
of the visitors as they detrain, while
the railroad men will see to it that
the train leaves the yards even be
fore the last noble has filed through
the station gates.
As each special arrives in the yards,
a switch engine will be waiting on
the tracks in readiness to couple
onto the train. And by the time the
visitors have been taken to their
state headquarters to register, their
home on wheels will be rcidy for
them at the place where it is -to be
parked for the week.
ltallrond Lines Co-operntltig.
All the railroad lines running into
Portland are giving full and com
plete co-operation to the terminal
company. They have all provided for
special switch engines and switching
crews to take charge of trains. Equip
ment belonging to the S. P. & S. com
pany which will not be parked dur
ing the week will be sent td the
Alblna yards to be put in order for
the return trip across the continent.
Cars of the O.-W. R. & N. company
and Southern Pacific company will
be sentto the Brooklyn yards, while
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern equipment, not needed for hous
ing the visitors, will be sent to the
Vancouver, Wash., yards.
According: to railroad officials
there will be' more railroad equip
ment In Portland during, the week
than ever before in the history of
the city. There will, be 770 extra
sleepers. 250 extra day coaches. 80
extra diners and 50 extra baggage
cars. There will also be an extra
large number of locomotives in the
Por-"and yards, although no extra
engines were ordered to take care of
this heavy travel. Officials said that
the engines used regularly on the
freight lines will be impressed into
service for the special trains.
Committee to Mejrt Every Train.
In order that all visitors may reach
their state headquarters- without
trouble immediately after arr'ving in
the city1, the general reception com
mittee has arranged for members of
tha hospitality committee to meet
every special train outside the city
and acquaint the visitors of arrange
ments before th y arrive at the yards.
These local committee members will
meet the specials at Oregon " City,
Multnomah Falls and Vancouver.
According to Mr. Palmer, who has
borne the brunt of the work of map
ping out the local transportation
problems, every special train will be
at Its permanent parking place on
its allotted tracks w'thln a very few
minutes after arriving in Portland.
Telephone linemen will be ready to
make immediate telephone connec
tions to each sleeping car, and a
force of water department mechanics
will pipe Bull Run water to -the cars
