'i i Event Carried Out According: to Schedule Despite Unfavorable. Weather Conditions. Neither threatening skies nor small audiences can dampen the ardor or chill the enthusiasm of that band of young? adventurers who live on Willamette Height and annually Ret tog-ether in the name of a rose fes tival of their very own. Shrewdly refusing: to stag: their festivities in the wake of the larger and more pretentious carnival of the ' (rrown-ups, these youngsters hold their gaieties before the date of the big one. Yesterday was the day, and while the rain kept away a part of the usual bjg audience and handi capped a few of the entries, the event was carried out according to schedule and proved one of the prettiest pa rades of many seasons. Tiny Queen Kscorted. Wee Caroline Berg, quite like a rose herself, escorted the tiny queen, Scattering rose petals in her majesty's path.' The queen was dainty little Anne Layton. Behind her marched Nan Durkce as a butterriy with palpi tating pink wines. Caroline Durham as a beruffled; flower maid was fol lowed by an oriental figure in the personage of little Tommy Emery, about as big as a minute, dressed as a Chinaman and pedalling- his trusty tricycle. Finis Jones as a picturesque sailor came next, followed by Janet Welle, who was proudly pulling a bower of roses on wheels in which at ensconced baby Helen HoTmark. Betty Goodman was one of the Joys of the parade, marching sturdily along in the guise of a Holland milk maid. Across ber shoulders rested a yoke supporting idealized milk buckets filled with roses, and real Dutch shoes made Betty's traveling an interesting event for herself and the spectators. Alice Hungerford was a quaint ad - ditton merely walking along as her self, Alice Hungerford, carrying a bouquet of roses. A picturesque maid was Eleanor Sbceley as a color ful Pierrette with a saucy rose crowned clown's cap. Jack Howell was a gay little clown in red with fantastic trappings and roses. Bart lett Cole was a sedate little Indian brave with roses mingling with his war paint and feathers. A black crow was in the parade, a black crow that flapped his wings and nodded his feathered head. His name was Neal Sheely. A cunning little maid, Carolyn Durham, n throned on a rose bedecked tricycle, was followed by her charming little sister, Cathrine Durham, who car ried the cyclist's train of tulle. Marion Wells was a dainty flower- decked snrite lugging a basket of roses. Honey Bee Drain Baby RoCi Wee Mary Kate Wheeler was habv rosebul in a nest of roses drawn by a sweet little honey bee in gold and colors named Polly Sherman. Another small rider was Jack Lay- ton, brother to the queen, who sat in a rose cart and drawn by Denlse Lamont as a flower maid. A troop of bicyclists were Lenore Durkee. Norman Moore, Willie Reihl, Boynton Tlckner and Martin Marks, each rid Ins a bicycle which seemed com' pletely made of roses. Bringing up the rear of the pro. cession was the comedy joy of the event. Kuth Thayer Clark, made up in faithful likeness to Sis Hopkins rfnd carrying a diminutive parasol trundled a small cart shrouded in roses and supporting: a box in which- cackled and nodded a huge trained duck named Oliver Cromwell. Oliver is going on 9 years old and hols quite famous in his own bailiwick. He is the property of Robert Clark, who loaned him to his young- sister Ruth for the occasion. The entrants were kept in line and step by the youthful committee, Eliz abeth Ward, Beulah Belcher, Elia abeth Sewall and Virginia Zan. STRAY CAT DRAWS FIRE Bell of Arizona Causes Police to Slake Fast Run. Motorcycle officers were suddenly aroused yesterday by telephone calls from - residents of upper Washington street. Haying that murder was prob ably being committed in the vicinity. However, when the officers rushed to W. G. Bell's home. 6454 Washington street, they found it nothing more serious than the extermination of a straying tomcat. When the patrolmen arrived Bell was leaning out of a back window with a ,38-calibcr Colt's automatic in his hand, trying vainly to bag an elusive "pussy." Bell is a resident of Arizona, having arrived in Portland about two months ago. When offi cers asked him whether or not he had succeeded in hitting the cat. Bell replied that he didn't know, but he thought he had. s he had "seen the animal limp a little." A charge f discharging firearms In the city limits was placed against Bell.

Winning of Laurels by Gamaliel im Fifteenth Century B. C." Ex pected to Be Itepeated. "KTEW TORK, June 14. (Special.) Xr The man who discovered that history repeats itself announced to day that ho had been looking up the records and by all the laws of repeti tion the republicans picked a winner when they nominated Warren Gama liel Harding for president of the United fetates. In making the an nouncement, the discoverer put the accent on the middle part of the can didate's name, to-wit, Gamaliel. Although the name Gamaliel has never figured' prominently in Amer lean political history until now, 4ho records show it was one to conjure with in the politics or the pre-Chris tian era. . The earliest known owner of the name was Gamaliel, son of Pcdalizur and prince of the children of Menasseh, the son of Hezekiah whose father. Anion, was . king of Judea. This put the first Gamaliel in the favorite-son class from the start. Gamaliel lived way back in the fifteenth century, B. C, which was somewhat in advance of the first republican convention, but the good old party has been making rapid progress of late and has apparently caught up with Gamaliel. Like his distinguished successor, the first Gamaliel was a man of no little authority and influence tn the com munity. There -were no presidential nom nations to hand out in those days. but it is written that Gamaliel was the man chosen by the people to take the census in 1490 B. C. At that time. It will be recalled. the league of nations -was not an issue, but the people were very much in the wilderness. The office of census taker was one of the highest honors that the people could then confer. Gamaliel is understood to have carried the election with little or no opposition. The name of the defeated candidate is not even men tioned in the records. Following were the districts ruled over by Gamaliel and carried by him by overwhelming majorities on election day: Abel, Abel-Beth-Maachah. Abclmaim, Adam, Aner, Ashtaroth, Beeshterah, Beth-Shean, Beth-Shittash, Bilcam, Dor, Kdrel, Kndor, Gat-Rommin, Gilead, Golan, Gur, Ibleam, Meglddo, Michmethah, Nophah, Ophrah, Tasmach, Tappuah, Zarthan and Zereda. In short, Gamaliel swept the -wilder ness. . LOUT OFFERED IN COURT GOLDSTEIN" IS FOUNT) GUILTY OX STOLEN GOODS CHARGE. Defendant and Brother Alleged to Have Acted as "Fences" for Property Thieves. Sixty pairs of shoes, or something like seven suitcases full, were brought into circuit court yesterday when Judge Phelps of Pendleton heard the case of the state against Harry Gold stein, charged with receiving stolen property. Goldstein was convicted. The defense put on but one witness, Goldstein himself, who testified that he had purchased the shoes from man named McDonald, who said he lived at the Benson hotel, and that he gave 5 per pair for the footgear. It was alleged that the shoes had been stolen from the O.-W. R. & N. company. Goldstein had 56 pairs of them in his possession and his brother. Alec, who was found guilty last week and sentenced to six months in the county jail, had four pairs. The two men were involved with Nathan Karl and William Jacobsen, all related, in charges of acting as "fences" for property stolen by Eugene Kelly and Harry Gordon, who have been in dicted on burglary charges. During yesterday's trial it developed that Harry Goldstein had been arrested in 1912 for buying shoes "he didn't know were stolen."

Strong Resolutions Are Adopted at Meeting to Hear Annual Re ports .of Officers. Resolutions pledging the support of the Portland Federation of Churches to the campaign, for fund's now being waged by the inter-church world movement and adoption of a budget of $6000 for next year's work were unanimously . passed by members of the federation, meeting last night at the First Methodist church to hear the annual reports of officers. A rec ommendation made by the executive committee to change the name of the organization from the Portland Feder ation, of Churches to the Portland Council of Churches was favorably considered. Present at the meeting were representatives of nearly all of the 60 churches of the city affiliated with the organization. The federation was formed just one year ago. The outstanding feature of the meeting was a report jy Rev. William Wallace Youngson on the recent church and community convention at Cleveland. He outlined the subjects of the principal speeches of the meet ing and declared that the convention was of tremendous significance to all church members. Ralph McAfee, executive secretary of the feneration, in his annual report declared that the organization is be coming stronger and promises to ac complish great good in the city. Among the officers elected for the coming year were the following: Pres ident, W. D. Whitcomb of Whitfield, Whltcomb & Co.; vice-presidents. Bishop W. T. Sumner and James F. Kwing: recording secretary, Robert M. Tuttle: treasurer. Grant Phegley. Rev. Joshua Stansfield, who has served as president during the past year, was made an honorary member of the executive committee, this step being taken both for the purpose of giving due recognition for Dr. Stans field's service to the federation for the past year and also to retain his counsel In the deliberations of the executive body In the future.

Iilmitaflons of Candidate Thought Source of Confidence Among Party "Workers. BT MARK SULLIVAN. ; (Copyright by the New Tork Erenlngt Post, Inc. Published by arrangement.) CHICAGO. June 14. (Special.) The day succeeding Harding's nomi nation has been spent in speculation as to how strouc a candidate hev will make ahd whether the democrats can beat him. The progressives among the leaders here receive the nomina tion with frank dismay. They regard Harding aa an ultra-conservative, as representing the very heart of the old guard. They say that in the unpleas antness of the split eight years ago Harding was one of the most implac able of the eld guard. They recall speeches In which they allege Hard ing compared Roosevelt to Judas Iscariot, and that if the progressives were ever to come back to the repub lican party they must come on bended I knees and eating humble bread. Followers Hard to Persuade. They say that even if they, the pro gressive leaders, swallow the nomi nation they will not be able to per suade their followers, tho progressive voters, to swallow It. One of the ablest of the old progressive leaders says that Harding cannot carry a state west of the Mississippi. But this is merely the vtalk of the first day after from leaders who are dis appointed and hurt, The judgment of your correspondent Is that Hard- ng's nomination is a typical old-time republican nomination. It is like tho nomination of McKinley and Harrison and Garfield. Harding is an accurate expression of the hearts of that very large num ber of men throughout the country who get out the republican votes. He is precisely the type of man whom the republican party Workers in the rural oistricts understand and admire. If the hearts of the majority of the delegates who made this nomination were distilled you would find their choice to be not Harding individually necessarily, but precisely the same kind of man as Harding, a small-town man, a small business man. Limitations Commend Nominee. The very averageness, so to speak, of Harding appeals to these men. They can understand him. Instinc tively they feel that he can under stand them. They feel that they can have easy and agreeable relations with him not in any undignified sense, but in a sense that is proper and desirable from the public point of view. Harding's very limitations commend him to this type of man. A big man they would not understand a bigger man would be - inscrutable to them. It may be and is probably true that Harding is distasteful to the progres sive leaders within the republican party, but this must be balanced by the fact that he is to an extraordinary degree perfectly adapted to the taste of the regular party worker in all that great territory where the re puDiican party usually Unas its ma jorities in Pennsylvania, in upstate New York, in rural Indiana, in Ohio and in all the regular republican states or the Mississippi valley. As to the progressives, most of the leaders will come around. Of course it is true that the highly intelligent management of the demo crattc party will take up these old speeches of Harding's, which are now repugnant to the memory of Roose velt, but or. that point everybody con cerned must agree that as to the 1912 split either there Is or there is not gei.eral amnesty. The fact is. as we ail know, there Is general amnesty. The statute of limitations has run so much "or the republicans. Independent Voter Increasing, As to the independent voter, who is increasing both in numbers and in disposition to vote independently, nothing can be said until it is known what the democrats do. Also as to Harding's qualities, any attempt at careful appraisal can wait until there is opportunity for comparison with the democratic nominee. As to the possibility of a third party, talk of which has been accel ciated during the last few days, con sideration of that, too, had best wait until after the democratic convention Obituary.
