18 THE MORNING ORFfiONTAN. TTTPSn.lv tttt v n mnr RUIN SPOILS MUCH OF CELEBRATION Small Boys and Picnickers Are Disappointed Farmers and Firemen Happy. PICNICS ARE HELD INDOORS Few Parties Brave Downpour, but All Who Can Hold Jollity XJnder Cover Peninsula Carries Out ' Programme In Spite of Wet. Those who, out of deference for the seventh day. put oft their observance of Independence day until the . 5th, got little chance to engage In patriotic dem onstration yesterday. The weather wasn't Inclined that way. The weather engaged In a celebration of Its own which began early and lasted late, and which delighted the farmers Im measurably. Only the small boy and the picnicker were vastly disappointed. The rain fell mildly throughout the day and It was altogether valuable In view of the considerable period of warm weather that had preceded It. And for that matter It was July 5 anyway, and the sun was under no special obligation to shine. Such celebration as occurred was as suredly sane in every sense. The volume of noise from firecrackers was greater than on the, real Fourth (Sunday), but only an occasional bunch of crackers might be heard. Cannon crackers were largely missing, because of the law on the subject. Fireworks were fired abund antly but the display last night was any thing but elaborate. The chief distress of the. showers) fell on hundreds of picnickers. A score of or ganizations and clubs had made big plans for taking to the woods. Great baskets filled with good thing to eat were in readiness but when the hapless picnickers awakened to find rain showers prevalent, some of them changed their minds about going. Scores of people went out any how, keeping under cover as much as possible. For the most part, though, the Monday 'picnics were spoiled. Iown on the Peninsula, where enthu siasm is rampant on all public occasions, a celebration was attempted In spite of the rain. There was a parade In which Captain Moore, of the Police Department, and 25 men got somewhat wet, as did several hundred people who assembled for the Peninsula affair. The streetcar company had made elab orate preparations for carrying crowds into the country but the crowds failed to appear. Owners of streetcar stock were just a little Inclined to grieve, for dozens of cars stood about on sidetracks. The picnic crowds were large enough to fill only the regular rolling stock. Business houses generally observed the belated Fourth and gave their employes a day off. But the holiday was spent chiefly in Idling about home dreaming of the pleasant things that might have oo curred had the sun been out. MANX PICNICS HELD INDOORS Numerous Events Scheduled for Day Have to Be Called Off. Owing to the Inclement weather yes terday many of the church picnics ar ranged were called on. Others, however, were carried through with success despite the rain. Several of the Catholic parishes held their celebrations Inside the parish halls and these In every case were well attended. At the Sacred Heart parish on the Mll waukle road were various games and races besides special music by a large orchestra and dancing. Several hundred people were in attendance. The people of St. Stephen's parish had planned a celebration to be held In the I.add farm grove, but rain drove them back to the parish hall. An excellent programme was held at the Columbia University grounds by the Holy Cross parish. The day was replete with games, sports, dancing and special music. People of the Ascension parish went to Bonneville by steamer, where the day was spent In the usual festive way. Several church picnics were called off on account of rain. The young people of the First Presbyterian Church, unable to hold forth outside, gathered for a short period of festivities In the base ment of the church. The United Commercial Travelers, who had planned a big time at Tualatin Park were forced to call It off. SALUTE OF 4 8 GUNS FIRED Battery A, Oregon National Guard, In Action at City Park. With the firing of a salute of 4S guns erne for each state In the Union bv Bat tery A of the Oregon National Guard at m . il.1!. 133rd anniversary of the Na tion a birthday was observed In Portland yesterday.

GAMES PREVENTED BY RAIN MelVin PeuRli and ex-Councilman Vaughn Discuss Benefits of Pub lic Parks Clubhouse on Boule vard Crowded by Audience. With some Inconvenience on account of the rain, the North Albina peopla held their celebration and dedicated their park yesterday. As It was a portion of th programme was omitted. At 10 A. M. the procession was formed on Killlngsworth avenue, headed by a squadron of police men followed by the Peninsula Band and the floats. It marched to Vancouver ave nue and thence to the ground on Port land boulevard, recently secured for a park. Chairman J. H. Nolta opened the programme In the grove where the band stand had been erected. There was music by the band, and prayer by Rev. D. A. Watters, followed by the reading of the Declaration of Independence by "W. J. Peddlcord. The storm then broke with so much force that it was necessary to adjourn to the clubhouse on Portland boulevard, where the principal portion of the ex ercises was held. . Here the band rendered several patriotic selections, and Melvln Peugh, representing the Portland Park Comnllssloners, delivered the park ad dress and dedicated the park to the public. Mr. Peugh said that It was due to J. H. Nolta and Councilman "W. T. Vaughn that the people of North Albina were able to assemble on their own park for the celebration, it being the first park that had actually been secured and paid for under the recent bond Issue. "I want to say," continued Mr. Peugh, "that the purchase of parks Is the very best Investment the people of Portland can make. The people of this city have said by their votes that they want parks and no man can stop the movement for public parka I want to live to see the time when every householder in Port land will be within half a mile of a park. Fresh air and exercise are essen tial to the health and moral well-being of the young people. The appeal made by the Lower Albina woman in The Ore gonian this morning tells the need of parks In this city, and now Is the time to get them. "New Tork recently paid $3,000,000 for S00 acres for a park and more recently paid another $6,000,000 for 9.10 acres. Bos ton leads the cities of the Union In parks. I want to say to the people of this sec tion of Portland, keep the ball ground In this tract for the boys. Near here is a great high school house under construc tion. Keep the ball ground for the boys. Don't ever drive them away. Parks are needed for the moral and physical well being of ihe young people, and I only regret that this park is not larger. And now permit me to dedicate this park to the boys and girls and people of this neighborhood." After muslo by the band ex-Councilman Vaughn was introduced and said' in open ing his address that he appreciated the reference that had been made to the acquisition of the beautiful park. He de clared that while Rortland is one of the most beautiful cities of the United States, it needs plenty of parks, and he complimented Chairman Nolta for the part he had taken in securing the first park out of the bond issue. Mr. Vaughn reviewed the growth of the Peninsula and Portland, and said he favored the park system. "We have come together," said Mr. Vaughn, "without regard to church, creed or politics, and I am glad to note that religious prejudices In this country are fast fading away. It makes no dlf- ' ference whether a man be a Baptist, a ' A .... 1 ,i : . . ii . . ... . ' uuTiuuuiBi, a. iamoiic or.wnetner ne De long to no church at all;- he can be an honest and useful citizen.

The nation that la the bully is not the greatest in arts of peace and development. I believe that the time Is coming when the differences between nations will be settled by arbitration and there will be no more ware." The exercises closed with several selec tions by the Peninsula Band. The large hall wae crowded to Its utmost capacity, despite the unfavorable weather. A great many saw the park for the first, time. The outdoor games were all omitted. A dance last night In the clubhouse con cluded the festivities. Other local celebrations planned by the different schools and churches Were held In the schoolhouses on account of the weather. The programmes were carried out in an abbreviated form. VACATION TIME IN COURTS No More Jury Trlalg Until Opening of September Term. Vacation time for the five Judges of the Circuit Court has begun. There wUl.be no more Jury trials until the first week in ' September. Divorce cases will be heard every Friday, however, and emer gency matters attended to. For this nur- pose a session of tlje court will be held cvory any, ai least one Judge being In at tendance. During the absende of Pre siding Circuit Judge Bronaugh, Judge liantenDem will act as presiding Judge. Then Judge Gantenbeln will take a vfl ca tion, and Judges Cleland, Morrow and via-ious win aiso laae a rest, after many strenuous months on the bench. Although numerous suits -ave been filed In the Circuit Court, most of the at torneys desire to spend a part at least of the next two months out of the city, which makes the trial of cases in regu lar order almost Impossible before Sep tember. Although subject to the call of the pre siding Judge, the county grand Jury has adjourned until next month, -when it will meet to take up any business which may have accumulated in the meantime. It will not be discharged until Just before the time for the September term of court, when a new grand Jury can be drawn to take its place. INNES' BAND NEXT WEEK Famous Musical Organization Will Be Heard on Multnomah Field. Innes' Orchestral Band of New York accompanied by several soloists who were engaged for the dedication of the Exposi tion at Seattle, will appear in a festival programme at Multnomah Field, on July 13 and 14. Innes' Band has a unique reputation throughout th-3 whole country. No or ganization has a higher reputation for the rendition of the great standards In music, ard the name Innes has come to be synonymous with the beet there Is in the domain of high art. The services of the band are in con stant demand, in fact, its principal work being the giving of Festival celebrations in the big cities of the country. Innes' Band is the result of many years of effort, of unceasing watchfulness to secure the best musicians In the world, of constant and tedious rehearsing, of tireless effort pn the part of Innes him self and by the determination of each individual' member of the organization to give the best that is in him. Each player is selected with as much care and consideration as are the several soloists who accompany the band, and every man must pass a rigid examina tion before he la accepted as a member.

HALF llliyillllllUIUMIlllll.llHHIIHIIIIIIS.ICIIIW CHIEF' COX ACTIVE Petty Thievery Lessens No ticeably in Three Days. SIMON POLICY IN FORCE rid Down on Gambling and TJnde slrable Men and Women Are Hus tled Promptly Out of Town. Saloons Must Obey X,aw. Events of the past three days, cover ing the incumbency of Chief Cox as head of the Portland police department, evi dence a material hewing to the line of the policy announced by Mayor Simon when he took the oath of office. The slo gan of Chief Cox, as shown by activi ties of the past three days. Is: "Keep petty thievery down to the minimum, drive out the cadets and vagrants sup press all forms of gambling, cause a general exodus of operators of Illegiti mate business and restrict the demi monde." Although only three days have elapsed eince Chief Cox took the helm, during this time no reports of the ordinary run of petty thievery, which during the month prior to his induction into the office en Joyed a carnival of prosperity, have come to police headquarters. The first officially announced "policy of the department In reference to its dispo sition toward the conduction of unlawful houses by women was made yesterday afternoon at 8:46 o'clock, when Captain Moore, of the first night relief, gave in structions to his force that women are not to be molested unless eollcltlng on the street or from windows. In the same instructions, however, he informed the members of the department that It has been reported that many women who re turned to Portland within the last few days brought men with them and that whenever It Is found that a man is being provided with sustenance by a woman, he is to be arrested. Members of the detective bureau have been especially busy during the past ferr days and arrests on vagrancy charges are frequent. Gambling of all forms is likewise re ceiving attention. Two arrests were made yesterday of persons found with lottery tickets In their possession. Ser geant Kienlan and Patrolmen Raney and Stewart arrested seven men early yester day morning in the rear of a saloon at 49 North Second street. Four were charged with playing fioker, while the remaining three were arrested on charges of being in a gambling house. AH will plead guilty. They were Steve Garrlck, John Prokopcheek, Joe Smolwonskl, L. Gust, -Alexander Konocke, Mike Smith and Lawrenee Sarwdskl. "People who have come to Portland with the Idea that the town Is to be thrown open to them for illegitimate pur poses are mighty, badly mistaken. I have given strict orders to all patrolmen to be on the lookout for such strangers and to find out about every man found Idle in the city who is not known," said Chief Cox yesterday. "The saloonmen must observe the closing law. Any Infraction of the regulations will not do the of fender any good," he concluded signifi cantly.
