Interest . haa been aroused by the
preliminary announcement of the
Portland Lodge of Elks to the effect
that It haa taken upon Itself the tak

in this community who are dependent
upon the soldier who are called O

will be a mammoth production of .the
"Sultan of Sulu by the Elks, June 2S,
29 and 33, at the Eleventh Street

Is Fine Comedy.
The "Sultan of Sulu" is a big musl
cal comedy; words by George Ade, and
music by A. O. Walthall. The story
of the play has a patriotic strain run-
ninK throughout. The scene is laid on
the Island of Jolo, or Sulu, as Ad
calls it; and the story tells of the
troubles of Klram, a sultan, who is
made governor of the island when tha
American troops arrive- The sultana
difficulties in ridding himself of his
many wives, the alimony he must pay,
etc., makes Situations that are very
amusing-. A bit of historical acting
is also introduced when he makes hit
first acquaintance" with the world
famous American cocktail.
A large chorus is now training un
der the direction of Waldemar Llnd,
and it is said that the music Is es
pecially tuneful, and that the chorus
will be a feature of the show. Special
attention will be given to the costum
ing and scenery so that the production
will in every way uphold the tradition
of a high class performance. There is
much good, clean comedy which gives
each member of the cast full oppor
tunity to display his talents. A num
ber of special features are being added
by M. M. Ringler, who has charge of
the dancing part of the program, ami
these in themselves, promise many
pleasant surprises to those who wit
ness the performance.

PLAN TO CONSCRIPT
TO
FARMS IS INDORSED
Representative William Kett
ner of California Becomes
Champion.
Washington, May 19. (I. N S.)
Further indorsement of the California
plan to meet the emergency labor situ
ation by conscription of boys between
18 and 21 for work on the farms to
guarantee the harvesting of the an
ticipated bumper crops, .came today
from Representative William Kettner
of California.
"In California," Mr. Kettner said,
"we have the finest soil! and the finest
climate in the world and the report
of the agricultural department will
show that we can raise everything this
country needs to advance the needs
of war, but what we lack is labor.
'"I have no doubt but that with a
sufficient amount of labor so that
every available acre of unutilized land
can be profitably employed, California
alone can feed one-third of the United
States.
"The plan to conscript young men
of non-military age for service on the
farm appeals to me as a very sensible
and profitable one for the country.
"It will enable hundreds of thous
ands of youths who can't go to war to
do their bit for the country and con
tribute in a most Important way to
the success of .the ' American arms.
The labor situation will be In a few
months one of the most perplexingand
important problems before our gov
eminent.
"Already California has more than
contributed its share towards enlist
ments for the army and the navy. I
hope California will be allowed to
contribute further through the adop-
tion or tma important suggestion."

This act, primarily, provides for the,

the reasons in favor of supporting
the act.
"An uncompromising conflict," one
circular says, "is on in Portland to
save the children from disease and
death."
"Deliver 6000 children from the
menace of Marquam gulch. South Port

"Unsightly, filthy and disease
breeding Marquam gulch must go. A
beautiful, up-to-date and sanitary
playground is planned to replace the
old eye-sore and plague-spot."
"Disease lurks in and is spread
by filth. Physicians say that an epi
demic of measles, chickenpox, scarlet
fever or dread diphtheria is an ever-
present i menace in filthy Marquam
gulch. Glean up the gulch. Do away

TRe Pittsburg regiment, with 1125

gineering regiments in single unita
as fast as they are trained.
New York has the second highest

adelphla and St. Louis are, third with
J00 each. Chicago and San Francisco
both have had many applications but
only 11 have been accepted in the
former and 29 in the latter city.
JThe war department's plan is to hava
the regiments move to temporary
camps Just outside the cities in which
they are raised. , t .

Despite dissatisfaction over the presl
dent's rejection of Colonel Roosevelt's
volunteer division, further efforts t .
congress- to force acceptance of ! the
colonel's services are unlikely. ThlsT ;
was indicated today by Senator War
ren O. Harding 'of Ohio and Senator -
Hiram W. Johnson of California whd ?
led the fight for the Roosevelt amend-.
ment to. the conscription bill. !
Senator Harding gave out a -state
ment today calling the president s ;
action "a most regretable mistake."' ,
He 'also made public Information
that when the Roosevelt amendment
threatened to tie up the conscriptioft
bill last week the colonel had wired
his supporters in congress that they
should drop all efforts in his behalf
ratner than hinder or embarrass -ths
president.
Senator Johasoa Xs Sorry,
"I am very, very sorry," was 8ena
tor Johnson's comment on the pre sit ; ;-
dent's announvmtnt. !
Senator Harding also said: ''ManN , :
festly the supporters of the1 provision- Jr
in congress thought It the wise thins;
to act, or It would not have, been pro .
posed and supported. The intent was
not political, there was no purpose' tQ
glorify Colonel Roosevelt. Frankly
we were trying to popularize the war,
to do something to awaken the AmrlyT
can spirit and nullify the hostility ot
the conscription plan. I think it ae
most regrettable mistake to turn down
the Roosevelt tender and undoubtedly -the
country thinks so, but we are eij
listed for the war and a good soldier

Election of officers for the coming
year took place at a luncheon of the
Pennsylvania club in the Multnomah
hotel Saturday, and which was also
held In celebration of the birthday of
Stephen Girard, founder of Glrard col
lege, one of America's richest educa
tional institutions.
C. B. Clark and C. E. Hawk were
unanimously elected president and vice
president respectively. L. I Rice was
reelected secretary and W. J. Patter
son as treasurer.
J. A. Curry, retiring president, re
viewed the different meetings of the
club and with what success they had
heen attended. Before introducing
Professor W. D. Morton of the Unl
versify of Oregon and a graduate of
Glrard college, Mr. Curry recalled
some personal reminiscence's of his
grandfather concerning Stephen Glrard
who, during his life In Pennsylvania
after the Revolutionary war, accumu
lated a large fortune which he after
wards used in founding the Institu
tion which now bears his name. Mr.
Curry introduced B. V. Donahue of the
North raciflc Power company as an
other graduate of the Institution.
In his speech Professor Morton
spoke of the early life of Stephen
Girard when, as a French peasant
boy, he was compelled to leave his
father home and come to America.
He mentioned. the fact that Girard had
accumulated a fortune, risked It all in
promoting and aiding the welfare of
the government created by the consti
tution. Girard's heroism during the
epidemic of 173, In Philadelphia, In
which he personally visitea ana
nursed the sick, was also vividly de
scribed by the speaker.
G-irard college was founded shortly
after the death of the founder in 1831.
Chief operating officials of western
railroads will meet in San Francisco
May 25 for "the consideration of plana
to meet the anticipated requirements
of the government in the war situation.
The main matter of consideration will
be the curtailment of passenger service
so as to release motive power-and fa
cilities for an augmented freight
service.
The San Francisco meeting Is called
by President Sproule of the Southern
Pacific, as chairman of the western de
partment of the National Council of De
fense, and will be attended by repre
sentatives of the several Pacific coast
lines. General Superintendent A. J. Da
vidson of the North Bank road, will
leave early next week to attend the
meeting, and General Manager J. P.
J'
O'Brien. It Is understood, win represent
V.- A.U' Tt Mr M
While local traffic officials anticipate1
a curtailment in main line passenger,
service, no definite steps have been-;
taken by any of the roads towards tbe
cancellation of any trains, nor is it con-,
steiered likely that auch action will be

representatives of the roads. I .

by two and more roads. On all lines,
It is pointed out. there is a duplications ,
of service, such as, for example, three
nle-ht trains between Portland and 8e-f 5
attle on the three competing lines. Cur-4
tallment in passenger service would be,
directed toward the elimination of such f ?
duplication. I-
