If any monarch of ancient or medieval days, reveling in imperial luxury and bent on pomp, splender and pageantry, ever devised to crowd so much splendor Into any single day of festivity as marked the second chapter of Portland's an nual Rose Festival, yesterday, there at least is no adequate description of the event provided by history. Hundreds or thousands of roses, each a perfect specimen and the whole arranged In a wondrous panorama, afforded the menu at a feast of beauty which greeted the loyal subjects of the Festival King when the competitive display of roses opened at the Exposition grounds. Roses in Lavish Display. Mot even the most susceptible retina might in hours scan the great mass of ex quisite hues, embodying every shade from subtle, tints to fullest depths of color. Roses have seldom If ever before been seen In such a lavish profusion. Bel ohozzar would only have gotten himself and realm into bankruptcy trying to establish a precedent for such an event as that of yesterday's floral display. And the night pageant, the electrical parade o welcome to th physical em bodiment of the Kose King. It was 'tin imperial train and suite of magni ficence quite worthy of the fanciful ruler of this domain of roBes. Some thing; unusual had been counted on by the expectant thousands. But the full sumptuousness of the 16 cars of the royal pageant took the Festival mul titude altogether by storm. Each Float Brings Cheers. Through Sudden Death of -Mother, He Inherits Wealth of Man No Blood Relation to Him. CHICAGO. June 8. (Special.) Lit tle curly-headed William McCllntock, 6 years old, awoke this morning" with no realization that he is a millionaire six times over through the death of his mother. Mrs. Emma Nelson McCllntock, yesterday. He has inherited her fortune. Mrs. McCllntock died suddenly from heart trouble, brought on by acute rheumatism.

OVERLAND MISSES WRECK Attempt to Throw Train Into Ditch Frustrated by Plucky Man. OREGON CITY. Or., June 8. (Special.) Through the efforts of Ben Miller, a well-known resident of Park Place, near Oregon City, an attempt to wreck the Overland on the Southern Pacific from San Francisco was frustrated tonight Miller was walking from Canby to Ore gon City along the railroad when he came across a heavy timber laid across the track and weighted down with big rocks. The obstruction was too heavy for Mil ler to remove by himself, and he had no matches to signal the oncoming train. As the engine drew near, hurrying on the down grade, he stood in the glare of the headlight and waved his arms frantically. The engineer saw him and stopped within a few feet of the timber, Nobody could be found In the neigh borhood, though diligent search was made. It Is thought the tie might have been placed there by hobos, who have dislike for Conductor Tannin' of this train.- ' GARRETSON MAY GET PLACE T a co ma Shrlner in Line for Imperial Office at Louisville. Lavish was the splendor of the im perial pageant and the spectacle aroused an enthusiasm such as had few .precedents. Kach of the wonder fully devised electrical floats brought forth a new flood of unrestrained en thuslasm. The subjects of the Rose 2Cing were mightily pleased with it all, and they expressed their pleasure with m volume of applause and cheers that drowned the dozen bands of the col umn, As to the festival multitude it was necessarily the wonderful thing of the occasion. There was none last night who would say he ever saw a greater crowd e.t one time in Portland or. in the Pacific ' Northwest. One hundred and fifty thou sand people Is an estimate that must be taken as conservative. The whole city waa abroad, the people from the suburbs and thousands from Willamette "Valley towns and settlements, from- the West Side, from down the Columbia, in short from the four points of the compass. Police Force Their Way. Of such Immense proportions was the as semblage that the streets along the entire line of march were packed In densely and the cordon of police at the head of the procession . had actually to force a channel by vigorous methods. The of ficers were all but exhausted from clamorous struggle when the Job was done. Packed, jostled, crushed, edged, shoved and pushed, the countless atoms of this Immense concourse remained entirely good-natured throughout. There were no difficulties worth telling about, which is a remarkable thing tn itself. They hajj to wait an hour overtime for -the pageant to appear, which was sufficient to arouse impatience, but none got bad-natured in consequence. But for that matter the Festival spirit lias instilled itself every where, so likely it Bhould cause no won der that unpleasant Incidents failed to develop In numbers. Street Sea of People.' It was some few minutes after 9 o'clock when a flourish of trumpets signaled the approach of the imperial train. From Nineteenth street on down Morrison to Third, " from that point to, " the depot, thence to Fifth, up Fifth to Washington . and on out Washington to Nineteenth the streets surged with the sea of peo ple. Down Morrison street the barrier seemed Impassable. Scattering cheers and applause broke out as the head of the line reached each successive stage of the triumphal march. The applause went by crescendo to one great roar of enthusiasm and delight as the full mag nificence of the pageant came to view. Right behind the cordon of struggling policemen, who served as the stem to the imperial ship in Its eventful voyage 'through the happily agitated ocean of hu manity, came a big touring car wrought of lncandeecents. This was followed by a car bearing Festival officials and ' set off with stars and crescents of electric lights. Then the imperial car, superbly designed, lavishly appointed, a thing of regal splendor which, set off the crescendo of cheers. The figure representing the LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 8. Drilling and marching in heat that was re lieved by rain only a lltte at dusk, oc cupied the time of the Nobles of -the Mystic Shrine today at the 34th annual session. -Tonight the most remarkable pageant in the history of Shrlnedom was seen. It was declared tonight that George k. Street, of Richmond, Va,, might not, as was the custom, move up from Im perial Deputy Potenate to Imperial Po tentate. There are other ca ndldates. If the custom is followed, Ellis Lewis Garretson, of Tacoma, Wash., may be Imperial Outerguard. WASHINGTON, June 8. Much good humor and many pleasantries were in jected into the debate on the woolen schedule in the Senate today. Dolliver, the central figure, offered several amendments and announced his inten tion of preserving others,' appealing to Republican members to vote with him because, he said, the amendments would justify the attitude of the Re publican party in advocating1 a pro tective tariff. Smoot, assisted to a large extent by Warren, who is con sidered an expert on the woolen indus try, defended the finance committee's recommendations with regard to the wroolen schedule. The various amendments proposed to the House bin by the finance com mittee are intended to restore the Dingley provisions of the woolen schedule, which In some instances pro vide higher duties than does the Payne bill as' passed by the House. Carter Lectures on Wool. One of the interesting featuree was lecture on the woolen industry from be ginning to end by Carter,, who brought forth a large box filled with samples of various grades of wool. To Senators who gathered about him he explained each step in the manufacture of woolen goods from the raising of the sheep to the making of the garment. He fa miliarized members of the Senate with the uses of shoddy, waste, soils, tops and various grades of wool. Dolllver proposed an amendment that would assess the duties on woolens on an ad valorem basis, according to the shrinkage of the wool. Much amusement was afforded when Dolliver and Warren became involved In a coloquy in which they stood within a few feet of one an other and each endeavored to cpnvince the other of the soundness of his opinion regarding the advisability of assessing the woolen duty on the value of the wool in the cloth. Refuses ' to Restore Degraded Offi cials at Politician's Dictation. NEW YORK, June 8. Protest against the action of Collector of the Port William Loeb, Jr., In reducing 73 cus toms inspectors from positions paying salaries of S1460 and $1825 a year to the rank of watchmen, was made today by ' several prominent politicians who endeavored to obtain a reversal of the order. Mr. Loeb refused to restore any of the Inspectors. The fight, it is understood, will be carried to Washington, where the in tervention of President Taft will be invoked. TWO KILLED AT RE-UNION Intense Heat Causes JO Prostrations at Confederate Gathering. MEMPHIS. Tenn., June 8.

A flower parade In which many wo men participated followed the after noon session. TREE FALLS; MAN DIES Although 30 Feet Away, by Coinci dence, Weak Heart Fails. SALEM, Or., June 8. (Special.) W. D. Keteter, a Civil War veteran, aged 63, dropped dead just as a huge fir tree, chopped down by a neighbor, struck the ground. He was 30 feet away, but through some strange coincidence a weak heart failed just as the tree crashed to the ground. He came from Nebraska two years ago. Dolliver Prods Warren to Talk. CYCLIST HELPLESS IN SUN Breaks Wooden Leg in Fall From Motorcycle In Middle of Desert. ELY, Nev.. June 8. Dr. W. L. Ma good, a prominent dentist of -this city, started for Osceola, 60 miles distant, last Saturday riding a motor cycle. When on the desert he was thrown from his seat, breaking his wooden leg. He was unable to walk, and after crawling for four miles in the scorch ing sun, collapsed by the roadside, where he was found 20 hours later- in serious condition, having been with out water or food for that time. Taking up the nrst amendment pro posed by the committee on finance, Dol llver opposed the Increase over the House rates. This amendment proposed a return to the Dingley rates on top waste, or an Increase of from 20 to 30 cents a pound. This increase waa in accordance with the finance committee's settled purpose of re establishing the Dingley rates throughout the woolen schedule. In defense of the higher rates War ren explained the propriety of maintain- (Concluded on Page 8.) - P0RTLANDER IS OFFICER L. B. Watsell Elected Treasurer of Lumber Trades Congress." CHICAGO, June 8. John A. Bruce, of St. Rader, La., was elected president of the American Lumber Trades Congress today. Other officers are: First vice-president, George E. Merrill, Salt Lake, Utah; secretary and treasurer, A. B. Watsell, Portland, Or. CHICAGO, June '8 Judge Honore or dered today William Guggenheim, of the smelter trust, and Grace B. Guggenheim to show cause why their divorce, obtained in this city In 1901, should not be set aside. Edward F. Dunne, ex-Mayor of Chicago, who issued the decree, represented the complainant Grace B. Guggenheim and appeared In court with five affidavits, al leging that the divorce was procured by fraud. Mr. Wunne declared that the de cree was fraudulent, as neither party was a legal resident of the state at the time and misrepresentations had been made to Mrs. Guggenheim to induce her to sue for the divorce. Says Husband and Lawyer Conspired The complainant also charged that Mr. Guggenheim and her supposed attorney, Louis Werner, of New York, conspired to practice a fraud on the court. She further states that she was given alimony of $160,000, of which her attorney obtained $12,600. Mrs. Guggenheim further averB that it had been represented to her that the de fendant was "the weakest and least im portant member of the Guggenheim family," while in fact, the complaint says, he 1b the ablest of the seven broth ers and the chief originator and business head of the great combination of mining and smelting interests. She adds that ms personal wealth is probably more than $3,500,000. Mrs. Guggenheim's Three Husbands The complainant has been married three times and has figured in an equal num ber of divorce suits. Both parties to the suit were wed again after the 1901 decree, Mr. Guggenheim marrying Lillian Sternberger. The ' complainant's first husband was William C. Herbert, a naval officer, who procured a divorce on the ground of desertion. Mr. Guggenheim married the complainant on November 30, 1900. Less than four months later they were . divorced. The complainant's nex' husband was Jule Roger Wahl, who obtained an annulment of the contract In France on the ground that the Chicago decree was invalid. Family Causes Divorce. Two Men and Women Companions Rolled in Dust and Grime of Linnton Road. With five people seated in it, a big auto mobile traveling at a rapid rate of speed turned over three times last night on the Linnton road. The lives of all the pas sengers, two of whom were women, were endangered but miraculously they escaped without fatal or even serious Injury. The machine was in charge of Leonard Welch, an experienced chauffeur In the employ of C. H. and H. M. Lovejoy, 128 Sixth street. He was engaged shortly before 11 clock by two men, who were accom panted by two women. AH were well dressed and are said to be well known here. The men are said to have been under the influence of liquor. They started for tavern on the Linnton road. At the plank road, near the Exposition grounds. one of the men In a fit of recklessness reached over and grabbed the steering wheel from the driver's hands. The front wheals -swerved as a result and the ma chine turned three complete somersaults. The occupants were strewn along the road at short Intervals and the machine finally righted itself. The driver and his boisterous passengers picked ' themselves up, to find to their astonishment that their injuries amounted to merely bruised hins, some shock and soiled clothes. The machine, which is a Winton Six of high class and valued at several thou sand dollars was damaged to the extent of J1000. It was left a wreck in the road way, marked by red lanterns, and the driver, securing another vehicle, took his passengers 'to their several residences, where they were attended by physicians The driver was unable to learn the names of his fares and the owners are seeking their identity, with a view of forcing them to pay for the wrecked machine. The complainant's affidavit, attested to before a New York notary March covers 16 pages. She says she met Gug genheim in June, 1900, and that he fol lowed her about until she consented marry him. She was forced to keep thel marriage secret, she says, as Guggen heim's family was Jewish and she was (Concluded on Page 5.) District Attorney Under Hot Fire.

The victims' of the house breakers were W. D.. Miller, 450 East Seventeenth street North; H. Donelly, 446 East Seventeenth street North, and B. C. Curry, 444 East Seventeenth street North. The families occupying the three homes had been out the entire evening, watching the Rose Festival parade.

The cases were reported at once to the police and officers were sent to make an Investigation. No light was thrown on the crime last night.

The fight of Dr. Perrln, who was con victed of conspiracy in land frauds in connection with Benson, against Robert T. Devlin, the United States District Attorney, who secured his conviction, is likely to result in the refusal of the United States Senate to confirm the nomination of Mr. Devlin for reap pointment. His nomination is. still hung up in a subcommittee of the Sen ate committee on Judiciary and Mr. Devlin will be asked to come to Wash ington and appear before the committee to answer .questions as to -the manner In which the case against Perrln and Bensen was conducted. Involves Burns, Possibly Heney. Take it altogether, the case is peculiar and is likely to result In the disclosure of a sensational story. It involves "not only tfhe prosecution of Perrin and Ben son, but the professional action of De tective Burns, possibly that of Heney and the alleged "Jobbing" of the Perrin case by Mr. Burns, who is said to have gone before the grand Jury and declared that he had just come from Oystes. Bay and , that the President wanted an in-dlctment-bnaught. against Perrin- . It has been alleged also that President Roosevelt aimed to implicate the late Senator Morgan, whom he believed to be Implicated in some way in the land frauds, and that he was' after Morgan because of that Senator's implacable hostility to the Panama Canal. Burns "Ordered" Indictment. Dr. Perrln asserts that if Devlin were here enough evidence could be got from him to warrant the indictment of W. J. Burns.
