INDIANS ATTRACT CROWDS Reds From Umatilla Reservation Are Encamped Soath of Club House, Where ' Tom - Tom Dances May Be Seen Nights. Xearljr all of the 30 acts of the Society Circus, which, -will give Its first perform ance "Wednesday night on Multnomah Field, were rehearsed last night In full dress, end from the showing made the show will eclipse any similar event ever held In Portland, If not on the Pacific Coast. All of the actors and riders -went through the dances, drills and riding ex hibition with professional-like precision. Hardly a flaw In the movements of both the man and horse actors was perceptible at the rehearsal. One of the prettiest events staged last 'night was the Japanese geisha girl dance by 24 pretty Multnomah Club girls, hand somely costumed and equipped with fans and parasols. This act is a new one to Portland amateur entertainments and is very prettily executed. A flower-bedecked Jinrlksha is employed in this act. Indians Great Attraction. The tribe of Umatilla Indians, from the Umatilla Reservation, near Pendleton, that Is to take part in the Rose Festival and the Society Circus, arrived last, ac companied by their horses and numerous trappings, and is encamped on the King tract, south of the present Multno 'raaa Club grounds. The Indians in their tepees were the center of much curiosity on the part of the "palefaces." There are 35 Indians in the band, including the women and children. The Indians were busily engaged last night in their tom-tom dances. The Indian mode of living is expected to be a. stellar attraction for the many i-astern ,visitors, who are unaccustomed to the aborigines. The Umatilla Indians are said to be the best-equipped tribe in America today in the way of horses and traps. The Indians will take part in the "Spirit of the Golden West" parade to night and also in the Society Circus pa rade Wednesday at noon. The Portland Hunt Club riders were at the rehearsal en masse last night, dressed in their natty red coats and high hats for the men, and the women In trim black riding suits. The big class drill was a snappy, well executed evolution. All the acts of the circus will be short ones, but gingery in the extreme. Daring Riders to Be Seen. E. W.Tallette, the ex-Culver Military Academy horseman and athlete, who, along with E. E. Moore, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Military Academy, Will give a fancy and daring exhibition of cavalry riding, vaulting and hurd ling, has been ill for the past two days, but will take part on Wednesday night. These men will also take part in a Roman standing hurdle race, which is a thriller. William Walter and Eu pene Oppenheimer, members of the Hunt Club, will also be seen in a Roman Standing race in which two horses will be ridden bareback. i The circus will be held regardless of weather conditions. The rings and platform are under huge tent3, and the big grandstand is rainproof, so rain cannot interfere with the circus. K The field was lighted up for the first time last night, and the many arc lights tnake the grounds appear as light as day. 1 Tomorrow at noon a Society Circus parade will be held on downtown streets. Several hundred members of the Multnomah Club, with their colors and canes, and numerous riders of the Portland Hunt Club in uniform, accom panied by several bands, will parade. The Umatilla Indians will also be in line. Tickets for the circus are on sale at Sherman. Clay & Company's store. Sixth and Morrison streets.

VALUE OF AN ASSEMBLY Latter Will Prevent Split of Repub licans, Says Writer. PORTLAND, June e. (To the Editor.) Is it not about time for real Republicans In Oreiton to stand on their rights? The primary Is a party matter and so far as possible should be kept free Xrcrai outside xnerfalinfr. The rirht to assemble and discuss all questions of government, of free speech and free press Is as old as the Colonies. Even Oreion s initiative and referendum have not ventured to abridge tha tright. An archists and Socialists freely gather In our streets, where they obstruct travel, and de nonuce all men who employ labor All parties In Oregon. Including secret orders, discuss the good of their order, but an as sembly of Republicans Is a menace to the state and "such a thing Is sure to wreck the party." To attempt a porlraval of the sorrow that these men would endure, were the old party to b wrecked im utterly futile. So sacred was th old party to the heart of the Socialist, prohibitionists and Pop ulists that they allied themselves with, the Democrats to make a law that would enable all Republicans to be candidates; and to this end, provided that each Republican could sign all petitions that were presented to him regardless of his having signed others for the same office. In this they loved their neighbor better than themselves, for this sacred primary did not apply at all to Socialist, "Prohl" or Populist. To Democrats It was so immaterial that in 190S so many Democrats registered as Re publicans that the party organ expressed a fear that the Democratic party might not appear on the primary ticket In 1910. It must be admitted that the primary law -was noade to -divide the Republican party with so many factions that each member of the booby parties could Join In encouraging a different faction of the Republican party. Such was the genius and spirit of this wonderful law. True, some who were Re publicans, for office only, and some who were too busy with commerce to note the Inevitable results of the law, voted for the measure. It is undeniable that the law was made for the Republican party and it only, bupt we were not attempting to repeal it. "We are asking no favors, but we have the right of assembly, and the men who do not wish to attend are at liberty to stay away. There Is unquestionably an attempt to di vide the party into as many, or if possible, more factions than four years ago, and nothing short of an assembly can save the party from such division. The Democratic newspapers have the same love for the Republican party that the vulture has for the lamb, and hence will stand In with the men who think, they have a better show for office with a divided than with a united party. True, there is no power to pre vent schemers trying to control an as sembly or any other meeting they will try under any and all conditions, law or no law but If the work must be ratified un der the primary, and again at election, there Is not half the danger of imposition that there Is with a ticket purposely cut up to permit an organized clique to win out on a small plurality. An assembly may prevent such results as we have twice wit nessed. It can not be worse. T. J. FORDING. HOUSES TO CONFER Get-Together Measure Is Planned on Railroad Bill. HOUSE REGULARS ARE FIRM T. R. IS GUEST OF PRESS LOXBOX JOXTRXAIilSTS GIVE SUPPER FOR AMERICANS. Speak Softly Rather Than Use Big Stick, Says ex-President at Correspondents' Function. LONDON, June 6. The In&'titute of Journalists gave a supper tonight in the historic Stationers' Hall to the Am erlcan correspondents accompanying ex-President Roosevelt. Hundreds of the most prominent literary men. in eluding editors of most of the London papers,., were present. Harry Webster Lawson. editor of the Dally Telegraph, presided, with Mr. Roosevelt at his right and Ambassador Held at his left. George Laval Ches terton, the well-known sporting writer, sat next to Mr. Roosevelt, who, in his speech, too "The Big Stick" for his text. He explained the original utter ance and emphasized the Importance of speaking softly rather than carrying the big stick. Mr. Roosevelt said that he was im pressed with the need of newspapers speaking softly regarding the affairs of other nations. Dwelling on the im proved Anglo-American relations, he said that they had improved exactly in a ratio with the United States' growth in strength and importance. As a na tion became strong and self-confident, the likelihood of its getting into quar rels with other nations decreased, said the ex-President. Edward T. Cook, who formerly was editor of the "Westminster Gazette and later of the Daily News, gave a toast to the Americans, which was responded to by Gilson Gardner. MLLE.

Earl, whose bodies were discovered early this morn ing with the skulls beaton to a pulp, were found on the Harey farm here to night.

While Hardey protests his Innocence, he says he is afraid he cannot prove it, because the exact hour of the crime can not be fixed. The parents of his fiance. Miss Mabel Starnes, bear out his state ments that he was at the Starnes home from 8:30 P. M. to 12:30 P. M.. and that he was not off the place in the meantime. The farm is but three and a half miles from the Hardey home. Another strange incident connected with the case was the finding of a horse be longing to the Hardeys. bridled and sad dled, early Sunday morning. How the ani mal came to be ready for use Is not known.

Insurgents and Democrats Over ruled in Desire to Have House Adopt Senate Measure Mi nority Party Men Divided. WASHINGTON. D. C. June 6. It was practically settled tonight that there wm be a conference between the Sen ate and the House on the railroad bill. Since Saturday last there has been a movement on foot to have the House asree to the Senate bill In its entirety and thus avoid a conference. The "insurgent" Republicans' and Democrats have been represented as strongly in favor of such a course. The regulars," on the other hand, have in sisted that the bill needed smoothing out in several particulars. Taft Wants Conference. .Pr?ldent Taft Probably will ask that the bill be sent to conference, in order that the section which gives the Inter state Commerce Commission -power to investigate and suspend increases in rates may be made effective immediate ly and' not have to wait upon the 60 days' clause affecting the rest of the bill. This action is necessary to carry out the terms of the agreement reached at the White House tonight with the Western roads, recently enjoined from putting rate Increases into effect. It was stated tonight that about 30 or 35 Republicans, mostly "insurgents," were prepared to vote to accept the bill as it came from the Senate. The Demo crats are seriously divided, and Repre sentative Champ Clark spent most of the afternoon trying to get a consensus of their opinions'. The Democrats, it was said, would not vote in sufficient numbers to adopt the Senate bill to procure its passage through the house. Democrats Find "Joker." Democratic leaders in the House dis covered an alleged "Joker" In the Sen ate bill, which they say would permit the railroads to engage in rebating with out fear of presecution. It is a five-line proviso to that section of the existing law which prescribes a penalty of J250 for failure to quote a rate to a shipper on request or for misquoting a rate. The proviso was presented by Senator Shively, a Democrat and is as follows: "Provided, however, that notwithstand ing anything in this section contained, any person or company suffering damage in consequence of any violation of any of the provisions of this section shall have the right to recover such damage by suit against the carrier in any court of competent Jurisdiction." The theory of the Democratic mem bers of the House who pointed out this feature of the bill was that it would open the way for railroads to. give rebates under the guise of paying damages to a shipper. Lawyers in the Senate, both Re publicans and Democrats, ridiculed the suggestion. POSTMASTERS GET MORE PAY Oregon and Washington Show Big Postal Receipt Growth.

FEW FACTS ABOUT PORTLAND By reason of its ideal location at the junction of two of the country's largest navigable rivers and with a great expanse of country tributary to it and enormously rich in farming, agricultural and mineral products, timber, etc., Portland's position as the largest and most important city in the entire Northwest is unassailable. The great railroad stategists of the world recognize this fact and Portland is today the terminus of five transcontinental lines, with others building rapidly to it. Portland is and always will be the railroad, commercial and manufacturing center of the Northwest. Portland's population in 1860 was 2000. Its population in 1910 is not quite 220,000. Portland is growing in size, population and importance at an astonshing rate. When ths growth for the past ten years is taken into consideration and its present rapid growth is considered and when its won derful resources, capable of unmeasurable expansion, are remembered, there can be no doubt but that its realty constitutes the safest investment in the United States today. There is not a city of its size in the entire country whose realty is being offered at such low prices.
