Ruffled only by the Insistence of women delegates that, they should be . allowed to nominate women for Rose Festival directors In spUe of the con trary Judgment of some of the men, the election of Rose Festival direc tors was successfully held last night by delegates from business and civic organizations meeting In the Com menial club. The directors elected are: Henry L. Corbett, vice president First National bank; F. W. illld, manger Portland Railway, Light & Power company; John F. Carroll, editor Evening Tele gram; George L. Baker, manager Baker theatre; Charles F. Berg, vice presi dent tcnnon' and president of the Ad club; 8. D. Vincent, of 8. D. Vincent & Co., president of the Realty board; Emery Olmstead, vice president North western National bank; O. M. Plum mer, secretary-treasurer of Portland Union Stockyards company; J. Fred 1 .arson, of Umbdenstock & Larson company; Jacob Kanzler, attorney and president of the Progressive Business Men's club; I. N. Flelschner, of Fleisch ticr. Mayer & Co.; Ira F. Powers, presl. dent Powers Furniture company. The report of the nominating com mittee J. E. Werlein, W. J. Hofmann, Frank McCrlllis, E. D. Tlmms and Fred fcpoeri contained a recommendation for the creation of a woman's auxiliary Roue Festival board. The report was adopted. Mrs. B. T. Voorhorst, dele gate from the Greater Portland Plans association. Immediately asked If this : precluded the nomination of women. The chair ruled that It did not Mr. Werlein assured the women, who sat ' in a group, that It would be highly un- j fortunate If they were to be elected to : service on the Rose Festival board. i "The men might want to alt In their I shirtsleeves; they migltt want to 1 smoke, and neither of these things could they do In transacting Rose Fes-; tival business If there were women on , the board," Bald Mr. Werlein, mention-, lng what seemed to him the insuper-1 able reasons against the election of women as festival directors. "There fore, dear ladles," he continued, ad dresKlng himself directly to the re sentful group, "you had better let the ' men hold their evening meetings and ' smoke, and you meet at afternoon tea ! and talk over festival matters and aid and cooperate In making the festival a grand success." Mrs. Sarah A. Evans declared that Mr. Werleln's position might have been well taken 20 years ago, but not! today. Melvln G. Winstock said that j he could see' absolutely no reason why i women were not as well fitted to help ' direct the affairs of a festival as thai men. I Mrs. J. Wi Tlfft of the . Portland . Woman's club., and Mrs. Harriett Hen dee of the Michigan society were nom-; . Inated. At the conclusion of the meet- i lng a motion was unanimously carried, instructing the secretary of the meet--lng, Moses Mosessohn, to communicate t with all women's organisations, lnvit 1 lng them to elect delegates and con- -vene and choose a woman's auxiliary festival board, they to decide how many should be on the board and what method should be followed in electing them. , ; i On motion of C. C. Chapman, a unari- Imous vote of thanks was tendered the , U nominating committee in appreciation j of its labors. ... i 3000 PEOPLE RENDER OLD FASHIONB .AT Remarkable Event at Multno mah Field Proves to Be Pronounced Success, Success crowned the community sing Vi ( V. Ut l . ... i . . . nomah field, under the auspices of the . j " " " item tufc evening; on .vi u i t - i Monaajr Musical club, it was a re-' markable event. About 3000 persons . sang for over an hour. As a "sing" ' was an experiment in Portland, some ; small hitch would not have been unex- i pected, but nothing of this sort de-' veloped. The words of the songs were minted on the programs, and as there ire many variations In the words of the old songs, some found the arrange--tsits.a little strange. From the cen-f-i- . Multnomah field the effect was yonderful. with a great volume of tone pouring lonn. i The grandstand was filled from ton to bottom, except a few seats at the extreme sides. j Campbell's American band, which wa t ..... " J M1Q lUUBItlBUS (IIIIUXI, played until the singing began. From 8 until after 9 o'clock the great assem blage sang lustily, under the "leader ship of W. H. Boyer.. Mr. Boyer's good will and enthusiastic Interest in tht success of the affair drew a ready re- ' sponse irom tne people, and he held them together with remarkable effect. ' Miss Florence Jackson, at the piano, and members of the band also helped much In their accompaniment. The broadcast call for everybody to come and sing naturally brought forth a music loving assemblage. Kach time the last verse of a song was reached they had found their courage, and the tone rang out with wonderful volume. Old and young men and women poured out their hearts In the plaintive strains 'of the chorus of "Suwanee River." Singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" closed the event. " Among th songa svfng were "Amer ica," "Old Folks at Home," Rock of . Ages," "Work, for the Night Is Com , lng. "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," Silver.. Threads Among the Gold," , "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah," "My Old Kentucky Home," and several others.. T Congressman Wlnfield S. Hammond and Daniel W.
