SELECTION OF QUEEN
SHOULD BE SETTLED
BY MOVING PICTURES
This Is Suggestion of Port
land Woman In Regard to
Rose Festival Problem,
AUDIENCES TO BE JUDGE
X.t Eacb of tlia Dally Fapars Beciv
XTofntnatlona Says Ob Wan; Othr
Ideas Advanced,
Choose the queen of the Rose Festi
val by mean of the movies.
This Is tile sufTR-pstlon of Ethel M.
Oarrfck. 6522 Fifty-eighth avenue
southeast.
"I would advertise in The Journal
that on a certain afternoon all young
ladies passing; a certain point on
Washington street would be photo
graphed by a moving picture ma
chine." she writes, "the resulting film
to be shown- at one of the prominent
theatres. The queen could be selected
ly the audl?nc-e by tnclr applause from
the film or in any other manner
thought best."
It is further suggested that the film
bo sent to other cities as an adver
tisement. Photo Idea Sug-greated.
"From what I know of the feminLne
nex," adds the letter, "most of the
young ladies of the city would have
business on Washington street on that
day."
Marie L. Cotter, 5&C Morgan build
ing, suggests that the most inexpensive
way of choosing a queen would be to
have the candidates send their photo
graphs or appear in person before a
judge, who should choose the most at
tractive girl for queen, and the six
next most attractive for princesses. '
Mrs. J.Harwood or the Baron apart
ments. Fourteenth and Columbia
streets, suggests that the queen be a
pretty Portland girj, and her princesses
be selected from the various nation
alities in Portland.
"This. I think, would be kind,
thoughtful arid effective," says Mrs.
Harwood, "as I know the films go all
over the world afterward."
Daily Paper - Flan
"Let the candidates of each na
tionality seek help from her friends
to pay for her costumes. I really think
this plan would b the means of a
lovely sisterly and brotherly feeling
during the festival."
O. Yates, 352 Forty-second street
southeast, suggests what he believes
Is the "best, easiest, quickest and most
equitable manner to choose the queen,"
one that he thinks would give a chance
to the many pretty girls in Portland
who "under the old plan have no show
of being elected because they do not
have wealthy friends."
Mr. Yates plan Is to have each of
the four daily papers receive nomina
tions, have the candidates for queen
selected by lot and then voted on, bal
: lots to be sent to the papers.

Action Brought on Assigned
Claim for Commissions
Preferred by Sorenson.

Frederick A. Xrfbs Defendant In XAtl
Catloa Which Resulted In Dispute
! In Xouia Seal.
A second Jury yesterday determined
that George Sorenson was entitled to
a Teal estate commission of 115.000
with interest and awarded Mra. N. V.
Sorenson, his wife, $19,925 principal
and interest in her suit against Fred
erick A. Kribs; a tlmUerman.' Soren
son had assigned his - claim to Mrs.
Sorenson. The suit was tried in Cir
cuit Judge Gantenbein's court.
Sorenson sued Kribs for the amount
and dismissed the suit on representa
tion by Kribs that C. A, Smith, whom
Kribs represented In the, deal, should
pay the commission. Sorenson then
sued Smith, wa- awarded $15,937.50
and lost the suit when the supreme
court reverted the judgment on the
ground that no. evidence was presented
to show that Kribs had 'authority to
deal wit!i Sorenson for Smith. v
The commission was asked -on the
sale of 7480 acres of Douglas county
timber land, by Smith to J. O. Storey.
The land was - part of the Northern
Pacific grant. Sorenson, according to
3288 Free Beds at ;
City Jail in Less !
Than Four Months
Despite all the other cheap
lodging houses, run by private
patties for gain or by chamaDie
institutions, the city of Port-
land runs a hotel that probably
has a record of entertaining ft
larger .number of destitute
guius than any of them. Ac-
cording to John J. Keegan,
night jailor at police headquar-
ters, in a report furnished to
Chief Clark today, from Decern-
ber 26, 1914, to April 19..1915,
3288 men were given free beds
in the, Jail. These men were
not prisoners. They applied at
police headquarters for a place
to sleep and it was furnished
them. This is outtlde the num-
ber of. women, several hundred
at least, who have been given
sleeping .quarters by the police
matron.

the complaint, secured .Storey as. a j
purchaser at a price of $187,000, but
cmttt. ru n ' fnmnlete the deal. I
Then, the complaint adds, Sorenson
induced Storey to pay $300,000. Kribs
denied responsibility for the commis
sion and that Sorenson was responsi
ble for the final sale of the property.
He also alleged that Sorenson was to
be paid by Storey and his associates.
