four Dreadnoughts every year. I don't
(want to say we should lay down ten
JJDreadnoughts at once, but we should see
"til at some are started every year."
: Admiral Uriel Sebree, commanding the
pacific fleet, grizzled warrior that he is,
almost growled out the demand for a
Ifrreater Navy. His face tanned and
f heavily lined, none could mistake him for
other than a sailor or for other than a
tflKhtlng sailor. His view of things ie
'one-sided and that one side is the Navy
feide. Ask him of anything else, diplo
macy for instance, of the prospects of
iwar between England and Germany and
'tif will say. "I don't know. I suppose I
I ought to know, but I don't. You see I
have not kept up with that line of things.
My work has all been in the Navy."
And he admits this quite cheerfully.
Mora than that he admits he Is Navy-
warped, at least he said last night that
his statements about the Navy, must be
heavily discounted, for he was a Navy
man. His belief in the power and pos
sibilities or the American Navy is whole
souled but he is particularly emphatic
for the need of a larger fleev
"I don't think that a greater fleet is
so particularly necessary on the Pacini-
Coast. We are rot going; to have war
with Japan, at least not the kind you
mean." he said. "But almost any foreign
eountrv could land an army in New York,
Sun Franci3co or Scuttle, and capture
thorn, too. I ,io:.'t think they could land
a 1 ig enough ar;iiy to stay In the coun
try, at least we would hope not. and we
world try to drive theni out."
Admiral Sebree is visiting with his
friend Marshal '. J. Reed, at the hitter's
residence, at 715 Everett street. He was
Invited to Portland by William MacMas
ter. chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce, to meet Admiral Ijichi at the
dinner at the Portland Hotel tomorrow
nlsht. He has brought one aide with
Mm. Lieutenant Holmes, who Is regis
tered at the Portland.
Admiral Sebre? lo-s not think the race
for Dreadnoughts is bad for the coun
tries concerned. "Now, take the cost of
a Dreadnought, which is from S8.up0.000
to Jie.000.000." he said. "We talk of the
tremendous expense. It is erroneous to
speak that way. for 80 per cent of the
cost is spent for labor in the country
where the rhlpp are built. England, Ger
many and America all build their own
sljlps, and the money stays in the coun
try. When we g.n money from Congress
for more ships, it Is just like taking
money from one pocket and putting it
into another.
-"Yep. I want to see a fcig Navy, bigger
s.i'ps Btid more of them. Of course you
must heavily discount what I say in that
respect for I am a Navy man.
"There is never going to be a time when
Nations will not 'have to have stronger
navies. A strong Navy is the surest way
to keep peace. It s just like a strong
man. If he is really strong, no one tries
to pick a quarrel with him. In fact they
take pains to keep friendly with him."
The Admiral was asked of the possibili
ties of war between England and Ger
many. "I don't know," he eaid. "It is
quits true, they have been talking a
great deal about war lately, through fhe
newspapers I mean," he added with a
dry, caustic humor that somehow fitted
the man.
"It is Impossible to say how long there
will be peace. You can usually never
tell when a war is coming. If I were to
say there would be no wars for six
months and there were you would think
1 was a poor prophet, so I won't pretend
to prophesy."
"The great war we are going to have
with Japan is to be a commercial one.
The only other kind will be through the
newspapers.
"As I said to Admiral Ijichi. the other
day, the hardest kind of war we have to
stand Is the banquets and fetes we are
attending. He agreed, although he is a
younger man than I."
Admiral Sebree asked a number of
questions regarding the Rose Festival
and the programme for today. He was
much interested in the festival. He said
he had never seen it before, notwith
standing that some of his ships had been
here.
Reverting to the Dreadnoughts, he said:
"I do not think they are other than a
sign of the times. Larger ships of every
kind are being built why not larger bat
tleships? "A battleship is a heavily armored
cruiser, and a cruiser is a lighter armored
battleship." was one of his definitions.
The fleet leaves Seattle June lo " he
added in reply to a question, "and I be
lieve Admiral Ijichi leaves about the
same, time."

SCHIVELY CHARGES OUT
.FORECAST OF LEGISLATIVE RE
PORT IS GIVEN. .
"Sliding Scale" Will Be Given Much
Attention by Committee
at Spokane.
SPOKANE. Wash.. June 6. (Special.)
What J. H. Schively, State Insurance
Commissioner, facetiously referred to as
his "sliding scale" of fees charged new
ly organized companies, will be the prin
cipal fact against him in the impeach
ment proceedings at the special session
of the Legislature, according to George
Lee. Assistant Attorney-General, who
has been working with the Investigating
committee, and his statements are a fore
cast of the report to be made tomorrow.
"On Schively's system of charging in
surance companies as much as they would
give will be based the charges of extor
tion to be made against him." said Mr.
Lee. "A fee of J35 is required by the
state from companies seeking admission
to do "business. but Schively would
charge anywhere from $35 to J335. the
latter rate having been wrung from a
company at least once. Of this he would
turn over to the state but the legal fee.
the rest being diverted to his own purse!
He sometimes divided the surplus with
Secretary of State Nichols, who was in
on the deal.
"We have heard from 75 out of about
S00 insurance companies with whom
Schively conducted business, and from
these we find that he collected $8000
in extortionate fees. Some would not
pay all he asked, and from these he
took what he could get. Correspond
ence, cancelled checks and other evi
dence will be turned over to Governor
Hay by the investigating committee as
proof of Schively's extortion.
"In other respects we believe him to
be guilty of improper practices. He
failed to make annual reports on the
business done by Insurance companies,
although required by law to do so, and
to look Into the conditions of these or
ganizations. Then he charged each com
pany $1 for a brief certification to be
affixed to the annual statements re
quired to be published. This is a petty
graft, but is none the less a reprehensi
ble practice."

S.VN FTtANCTSCO. June 6. Revolver
bullets fired with suicidal intent ended
the lives of three men In widely sep
arated sections of this city today. The
death roll includes an Insurance agent,
despondent because of poverty; a soldier
in the Army of the United States, who
sought death because his sweetheart had
jilted him, and a laborer, wearied of his
toil.
Samuel J. Seyman. the Insurance man
was found dead In his bed this morning
with his blankets in flames about him
ignited by the discharge of the pistol
with which he had fired a bullet through
his head.
Private Peter Bed, Battery D. First
Field Artillery, fired a revolver bullet
into his heart in the battery stable at
the Presidio today. Corporal Jackson
saw him draw the weapon and press it
to his breast, but was too late to prevent
the shot. The man's comrades say a girl
in Illinois had jilted him

for the thousands of strangers who are
already here and the tens of thousands
who are on their way.
"Home-coming- day," as this, the Ini
tial day has been designated. Is a new
concept for Portland, for Oregon and
for the entire new and progressive
West. Its youth has always stood in
the way of a successful consummation
of the idea which plays such a strong
and memorable part in the occasional
functions of the older and more primi
tive East, but the Itose Festival man
agement decided that a start must be
made sometime. Hence it directed its
energies of exploitation along such
lines as, it was hoped, would make this
part of the programme a universal call
to the sons and daughters of the Ore
gon country, not Portland alone, not
Oregon State alone, but that vast em
pire which was conquered by the pio
neers who, settled here and there in
the Pacific Northwest in the days of
yore. If the progeny of the Oregon
country prove responsive to this theme,
"home coming" will form a part of all
future celebrations.
Home-Coming Parade.
There are no special numbers on the
Rose Festival programme for today,
from the time that President Taft
touches the button at noon until the as
sembling of the "Home-Coming" parade
in the evening. The parade will move
promptly at 8:30 o'clock this evening,
whether all of the divisions are in posi
tion or not. Adjutant-General W. E. Fin
zer, grand marshal, says there can be
no reason for delay in getting under way.
His order calls for the mobilization of
the various divisions at 7:30 o'clock, or
an hour before the procession is to move.
Each division has been notified through
general orders of the plans for the pa
rade, and they are urged to be at their
different posts sharply on the dot.
The parade tonight is to be 42 blocks
in length. The line of march was an
nounced in the Sunday Oregonian, and
Grand Marshal Finzer urges that every
business house along the line do some
thing in the way of dressing up its place
and be prepared to illuminate by Japa
nese and Chinese lanterns, electric lights
and In other ways that an auspicious
opening of the Festival may be given.
Floral Decorations Excel.
- In Iavishness of floral and electrical dec

take precedence over any previous at

office buildings and hotels have already
arrayed themselves in brilliancy of dec

STREETS IN FESTIVAL GLORY
East Siders Decorate Grand Avenue
and Iilne of Parade.
Early yesterday morning C. A. Bigelow
president of the East Side Business Men's
Club, was out decorating Grand avenue
and other streets Included in fhe general
line of parade. He superintended per
sonally the placing of the decorations,
with a force of linemen and assistants.
By noon most of the work was accom
plished. The effect of the decorations is
considered excellent. The decorations are
more showy, and yet simpler, than those
of last year. Broad sheets of red and
green bunting float from all the trolley
guy wires, and are fastened near the foot
of the poles, while flags, too. droop from
the railway wires. Looking down Grand
avenue from Easf Burnside street, the
thoroughfare for its entire length seems
to be under a canopy of Rose Festival
colors.
Owing to the unfinished condition of
Grand avenue south of Belmont street,
the line of march for the children's pa
rade has not been decided. Mr. Bigelow
yesterday expressed the hope that that
part of Grand avenue could be used, even
if not paved, but in that event It would
be necessary to break the regular forma
tion and march on each side of the car
tracks. Mr. Bigelow thinks it would be
better to do this than cut the line of
march short on Grand avenue.

ALBANY, Or., June S.Special. Al
leging that the Southern Pacific Com
pany misrepresented matters in its ad
vertisements of rates to the recent state
encampment of the G. A. R. In Corvallis.
some local veterans of the Civil War are
planning to take the matter, before the
State Railroad Commission. Edward
Washburn, a past commander and prom
inent member of McPherson Post, G. A.
R.. of this city, wrote yesterday to C. A.
Williams, of Portland, assistant adjutant-general
of the state organization,
asking that such action be taken.
Mr. Washburn and other veterans
whose names he has secured assert that
they Btarted for Corvallis on the under
standing that the one-fare round-trip rate
was in effect, and that after they got to
the depot they were forced to pay full
fareeach way or stay at home.
R. K. Montgomery, Southern Pacific
agent at Albany, says the trouble has
arisen over a misunderstanding of tha
rate on the part of the old soldiers.
"The cheap rate was effective," he
said, "on June 1 and 2. We sold tickets
on those two days at that rate to every
body who applied for them. The adver
tisement means that these tickets were
good returning during the entire conven
tion, but we never had orders, and It
was never intended, to sell the cheap
tickets on the 3d and 4th. Tickets sold
on the two former days were good re
turning on those days, but no new tickets
were sold. It is merely a misunderstand
ing, for we never represented at any
time that one fare tickets for the round
trip would be sold on the 3d and 4th of
June."
