THE MISSING Frico Day, a Portland chauffeur, and Esther Mabel Monto, the divorced wife of James Monto. a Portland fireman. THE ACC1DE NT Automobile, shortly after midnight Friday, crashes through guard rail of street railway bridge across Oregon alough, on the Vancouver line. The automo bile Is lying In 63 feet of water. THE MYSTERY Whether the au tomobile carried more than two pas sengers has not been established. Plunging 25 feet from the Vancouver) trestle Into the surging waters of Oregon Slough, a flve-paseenger touring auto mobile carried at least two occupants to death late Friday night. Whether there were six, or only two, persons In the car at the time of the fatal accident will not be known until the bodies are recovered this- morning. The occupants of the car were Ksther Mabel Monto, who went by the namo of "Monte," and an automobile driver named Frisco Day. Mrs. Monto is the divorced wife of James Monto, a Portland fireman.. She had been living in the Vancouver underworld for several months. Day had been acting as chauf feur only two days. Loaded Car Was to Start. That there were more than the two killed in the long plunge is the belief of Kd Hollenbeek, who was In charge of the machine which npw lies 65 feet below the surface of Oregon Slough. Hollenbeek was aware that Day intended taking a load to Vancouver, Wash., on Friday night, and was told by the driver that there wo-ild be six persons in the party. Tn the mud and slime at the bottom of Oregon Slough lies the answer to the mystery. The snag-boat John H. Mc Cracken arrived on the scene a few minutes after 8 o'clock last night, but, on account of the lateness of the hour, no attempt to raise the sunken machine and the bodies was 'made. Diver Will Be Set to Work. Promptly at S o'clock this morning, the snag-boat. accompanied by Sheriff Stevens and a corps of deputies and Peter Be Rock, will begin operations in an attempt to bring to the surface the vic tims of the accident. t Driving at a rate of probably 40 miles an hour, through a blinding rain storm and bucking a gale of wind, Frisco Day is supposed to have mistaken his location and, instead of making a sharp turn to the right as his car came upon the small, er railroad bridge, gone straight forward to his death. Crashing through the wood en rail, the machine is believed to have skidded for a bare half-second, strik ing the upper supports of the trestle, and then hurtled like a catapult to destruc tion. Saloonkeeper Meets Couple. Frisco Day was last seen alive in Port land at about 11 o'clock Friday night. At that time he was accompanied with Mrs. Ksther Mabel Monto. The duo had stepped on the corner of Sixth and Stark streets, where Mrs. Monto Introduced Day to Tice Adkins, proprietor of a saloon there. After having a drink at the resort.

Democrats Will Insist on Candidacy, Which, Like Caesar, Party Leader Has Refused. LINCOLN. Neb., June H. (Special.) V. J. Bryan Is going to be Democratic nominee for United States Senator," said C. H. Aldrlch, candidate for the Republi can nomination for Governor. "Bryan," continued Aldrich, "acts a good deal like Caesar. When the Sena torship was first mentioned lie answered with an emphatic refusal; next time he did it a little more gently. I think the time is not far distant when he will con clude to run." Mr. Aldrich is not alone among the prominent party men of the state who believe the Commoner will be forced into the fight as a candidate. ' Many Demo crats have reached the conclusion that things are so shaping themselves that he cannot refuse the call to battle. In Lincoln It was said that the possi bility of Bryan's entrance into the Sena torial contest depended partly on the outcome of- the canvass among members of the Legislature. The Bryan sentiment out in the state, however, appears to manifest Itself without regard to this. HOLE FOUND IN SUBMARINE Collision With Steamer Tore Great Gash in Little Vessel.

NOISE PANDEMONIUM REIGNS Sway of Rex Oregonus Ends at Hour of Midnight. RULER IS SEEN UNMASKED Gleaming Floats Again Wind Through Streets Acclaimed by Cheers of Multitude Weather Permits Fitting Finale. With one last abandonment to noise of every description a few minutes be fore midnight. Portland's fourth annual Rose Festival ended. A medley of sounds sent Rex Oregonus on his way to the Land of Mystery and as he went he took with him the good wishes of hundreds of thousands of people who had been more than satisfied with the diversions provided for His Majesty and his loyal carnival subjects. Not including the reception of His Majesty, Festival week saw reven elab orate pageants, or parades. Three of these were at night and two of them particularly elaborate electric affairs. There were three daylight pageants, ana one daylight spectacle in the dis-. tributlon of roses from the Peninsula rose train. The night parades were "The Spirit of the Golden West," an allegorical representation of the manufacturing in terests and resources of Portland, and 'The Dream of Rex Oregonus," the title of the two electric parades. The daylight processions were the au tomobile parade, the horse and carriage parade and the final successful chil dren's parade. One of the most pleasing things of the week was the spontaneity with which the buildings and streets were decorated. Although the decorations were almost ruined by the rain Friday night, and every one of the hundreds of Chinese lanterns on Seventh street re duced to a pulp, the spirit of the thou sands gathered on the streets did not suffer. Clear Skies Follow Rain. The overcast .skies led many to, be lieve there would be no parade, but the weather man prophesied fine weather and was able to make good his proph ecy. Although a great many visitors had left the city, for over an hour before the commencement of the parade the grandstand was filled with people; the streets were lined to a great depth; and every tall office building was black with people silhouetted in the white light from the windows. It was thought the queens and prin cesses selected to ride on the gor geously illuminated floats would be afraid of the' cold. This was not the case. Nearly every one reported. In the hope that there would be va cancies, ten applicants reported at Rose Festival offices for the position of every young woman In the . parade. Many of them went to the fairgrounds, yet but a few of them could be used. This is an indication of the amount of pleasure the parade gave to those par ticipating. As for those on the.streets, they were In the humor for anything. Had the parade even failed to. materialize they would hardly have minded. They were out to have a good time. They believe they succeeded. Carnival Spirit Abroad. Horns, ticklers and the ever-present serpentine were much used. Fortunate ly there was no near tragedy such as occurred Thursday night when , a ser pentine was ignited by an electric spark on the float of Don Quixote. Prompt work by the float captain, who crushed" out the Incipient blaze with his hands, then saved a dangerous fire in the street. The parade started even more (Concluded on Pare 30.)

Irwin Laughlin. first secretary of the Amer ican Embassy, was recently on an auto mobile trip with the Turkish Ambas sador to Germany, and Mr. Seymour, the secretary of the British Embassy, through the famous suburb of Koe penick, where .William Voight, the cob bler, played -the part of an army cap tain and held up the burgomaster and other officials. jur. jaugnun nad an amusing ex perience in the town. His Pommeran ian pup jumped out of the car. He was not muzzled. In accordance with Ger man regulations, so Mr. Laughlin went after him. A wordy war ensued be tween Mr. Laughlin and the dogcatcher. The Secretary. of the Embassy gave his name and position to the municipal of ficial and paid him a fine of three marks for violation of the muzzling regulations. The dogcatcher was ob durate. He began climbing' Into the car to seize . the dog. . This was more than Mr. Laughlin could stand, so he landed a well-directed blow on the of ficial and the party went on its way. The Embassy made formal represen tations to the Foreign Office on the subject and a satisfactory letter of apology was received from the burgo master of Kopenick. and he said that the over-zealous dogcatcher would be dismissed. KANSAS WHEAT DEFENDED "First Quality" Not Necessarily Mis- brand, Says Witness. KANSAS .CITY, Mo.. June 11. The contention of the Government . that no flour made from Kansas wheat could be truthfully branded as coming from first Quality hard wheat," -was dis puted by C II. Barnard, a miller of Wellington, Kansas, during his cross- examination in the "bleached-f lour' case today. He was a Federal wit ness. In charging mi. branding in this case. tne (government averred that Kansas wheat contained from 10 to 20 per cent yellow berry, and for this reason flour from It could not be first-class. xne Dieacned . . nour seized was claimed to be such. Bernard said if he could get a wheat in Kansas which con talned'bilt 30 per cent of yellow berry he would consider, it of-, the highest grade. . -? "I have -seen wheat that contained 80 per cent of yellow berry," testified Barnard, "yet I considered the flour from it to be. good." Barnard further raid he did not con sider that the color of a flour would prove anything as to the quality, of bread It would make. George Freeman, a baker , of Kala mazoo, Mich.,, said he could not tell the difference between bleached and unbleached flour by looking at them. He said he had been fooled on the color of flour many times. WELL THROWS WATER HIGH Gusher at Walla Walla Spouts Fluid 112 Feet In Air. WALLA -WALLA. Wash.. June 11. (Special.)

Large amounts of politics were mixed up with the debate on the sundry civil bill to day, and it was all over the tariff. In the sundry civil bill was a provi sion for $250,000 with which to enable the President to investigate the opera tion of the present tariff law. Many Senators took part in the dis cussion precipitated, and Senator Clay, of Georgia, started the fireworks by charging that the measure was intend ed to delude the insurgent Republicans into the belief that there was to be another revision of the tariff, which ho tried to prove by Republican Senators, with some measure of success. Aldrich and Bailey In Controversy. Senator Bailey, ii supporting him. succeeded in bringing Senator Aldrich to a defense of the tariff, and the latter dragged in Senator Beveridge. The In diana Senator and the Rhode' Island Senator found opportunity to thresh over their old controversy over the authorship of the Investigation provi sion of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, but with the result that each held to his original contention. Mr. Aldrich declared that he and he alone had been responsible for the pro vision. While claiming credit for the tariff commission !blll of last session, the Indiana Senator asserted that but for the general agitation resulting from that bill, there never would have been an Investigation clause In the present bill. . . .Regulars Fear Xo Revision. Mr. Aldrich said he desired the In. formation the $250,000 would elicit as a Justification of the present law, which he and numerous Republican Senators pronounced the best tariff law that ever was placed on the statute books. All the regulars' expressed the opinion that there would not soon be a revision of the tariff. Incidental to the debate there were some amusing incidents: Senators Bailey and Johnston made reference to the telegram sent by Sen ator Beveridge to Senator Clapp after the close of the Indianapolis convention, in which the Indiana Senator was quoted as saying he "had kicked the stomach off the tariff bill." Mr. Johnston construed this language to mean that Mr. Beveridge had "dis turbed the epidermis In the abdominal region of the tariff." 'Winding l"p" Ileyburn Resented. Mr. Heyburn was among the speakers and Mr. Hale called forth the epithet of "insolent" from the Idaho Senator by appealing to Senator Cummins "not to wind him up again," when the Iowa Senator sought to interrupt his Idaho colleague. . Trie fact appearing that various Sen ators still desired to be heard. Senator Hale reluctantly moved an adjourn ment without reaching a vote on either Senator Clay's motion to strike out the provision or on the final passage of the sundry civil bill. The Senator from idaine expressed deep regret that an appropriation bill should be the occasion for such a po litical debate. Mr. Clay declared the tariff pro vision to be clearly political. He re peated that there was no necessity for Con eluded on Fag 2.) ROSE FESTIVAL, AND Can We Come Oat Kowf Edna Wallace Hopper and Laura Gnerlte, With Husbands, Cast on .

In addi tion to seven blows on her head, which were not mortal, the surgeons discovered -an ugly wound on the face which had; broken the nasal bone and - disfigured the woman's features. The doctors as certained that the woman had been shut up alive in the trunk an1 had died of suffocation. They also discovered physiological anomalies which they refused to di vulge. Husband Xol Traced. The. efforts of the police to track Porter Charlton, the woman's youthful husband, have been fruitless. The po lice' have ascertained that Charlton and his wife dined at the Hotel Romr. on June 3 and 6. Charlton later cn June 5 returned to -TheTrtlTf-1 alone and bought a bottle of brandy, which he took away" with him. He returned to the hotel on June 6 and said that Mrs. Charlton was ill. Spolatoff persists in his denial that he saw the American later than June 3, but the police have collected evidence that he was in their company on June 6. ' Several witnesses declare that they saw Charlton on June 9 take a midnight train for Lugano. He had a ticket for Lugano and Lucerne and the police be lieve that he-went to London. Accomplice Is Suspected. The villa that was occupied by the couple at Moltrasio hasbeen examined. The police found a bloodstained mat tress. They suspect the murderer threw his victim over the bed and stunned her, after which he placed her body In the trunk. . The police weighed the body and trunk and found they reached a total of 140 pounds. - This leads them to believe the murderer could not have carried them to the lake unaided, hun dreds of persons have been c -.mined without obtaining any Important evi dence. ' The police have found a scrapbook containing press clippings collected by Mary Castle, familiar papers relating to her father's contract with Robert Ferguson's company, a life insurance policy, a certificate of marriage with,. Neville H. Castle, documents relating to her divorce and her photographs, signed Mamie. All the papers are being trans lated. Arrest Believed Important. . The police attach great importance to the arrest of Spolatoff, who draws a pension from the government. He lived at Regglano and Acallo, in Swiss ter ritory, and crossed the . frontier, daily. He is. suspected of smuggling sugar and coffee from Switzerland. He speaks English fluently, and to this fact is dua his acquaintance with the Americans. Spolatoff was in Moltrasio on Mon day and told a chemist that bis pen sion had been increased, 'and he showed rings he had recently purchased. Italian detectives believe that the rings belonged to the murdered woman. He is being put through the third degree in Russian, and it is hoped to obtain a' confession from him.
