v 6AGQN TO PARIS
Ex-Secretary of State Will
Succeed White as Head
of Embassy.
WILLING TO ACCEPT OFFICE
Taft Informs Him White Will Be
Transferred In Any Case France
Regrets While's Recall on
Eve of Tariff leal.
PARIS, June 7 Private advices from
"Washington state that Robert Bacon.
ex-Secretary of State, has accepted the
Ambassadorship to France and will suc
ceed Henry White at the end of the
year. According: to these advices. Mr.
I Bacon, who first was offered the post,
I Uaclined. preferring; that Mr. White
snouia be retained, but, finding that
President Tart had resolved In any
event to replace Mr. White, he finally
accepted.
Rumors of Mr. White's retirement,
which have been current here for
months, caused genuine regret, espe
cially In official circles, where he Is
especially persona tiata. and among
the members of the American Chamber
of Commerce, where it was felt that his
experience would count for much in
the difficult tariff negotiations be
tween the countries, which are consid
ered Inevitable after the passage of
the new American tariff bill.
Robert Bason was formerly a member
of the Arm of J. P. Morgan & Co., and
withdrew from business to become Assist
ant' Secretary of State under President
Roosevelt on October 1, 1905. In that
capacity he conducted some of the most
important diplomatic work of the Ad
ministration. When EUhu Root resigned
as Secretary of State a few months be
fore the expiration of Mr. Roosevelt's
second term, Mr. Bacon succeeded him
nd held the office until March 4, when
Philander C. Knox became Secretary.
Mr. Bacon Is a graduate of Harvard, is
a man of strong physique and accompa
nied Mr. Roosevelt on some of his stren
uous rides and walks about Washington.
Henry White is a veteran In the Diplo
matic Service. Born in Baltimore In 1850,
he became secretary of the Legation at
Vienna In 1SS3. was transferred to London
as second secretary in 1884, promoted to
secretary in 1SS6. and recalled by Presi
dent Cleveland in 1S93. He returned to
London as Secretary of Embassy In 1S97,
and held that position till 1906, bein re
peatedly left In charge of the Embaesy.
He was Ambassador to Italy from 1905
to 1907, being appointed to France In the
latter year. He distinguished himself at
the Algeciras Conference on Moroccan
affairs in 1906, and was mainly instru
mental in bringing about an agreement
between France and Germany.
FESTIVAL KING REIGNS
(Continued From First Page.)
was astir with the coming of night for
the opening pageant of the Festival. Only
by a glance at the clock In the tower
might it be confirmed night was at hand.
Tens of thousands of Festival lights cast
a radiance that drove the shadows clear
outside the limits of activity.
One mile of parading troops, civic or
ganizations and veteran corps, launched
a few minutes after 8:30 o'clock at the
edge of the business district, wended Its
way for six miles In and out along the
narrow channels of a great ocean of
humanity. This vast, eager, happy multi
tude was at all times the feature of the
occasion.
Parade Is Stirring Sight.
The parade In Itself was a pretty and
stirring sight, with the 3"00 people in line,
the many bands, the profusion of illum
inations and the easy manner In which it
f passed along its course, unmarred by
hitch or oversight. But it was not one
of the great parades of the Festival week
and it was not intended as such. Those
splendid pageants which are to be the
distinctive marks of the rose reign begin
with tonight, when the Festival King and
his suite will pass through the city.
In its purpose of getting the new sub
jects of the Festival ruler on the streets,
the parade of last night was successful
beyond expectations. There are those
who will contend it was the largest
gathering of people ever seen on the
streets of Portland. To be conservative,
it surely was one of the very largest.
There were hundreds of people who
didn't get to see the parade at all. not
withstanding the fact that it passed and
repassed In front of them and not half
n. dozen feet away. They were hopeless
ly swept back by the eager surge of the
curious. There is no way of paying just
how many people were out. for they
were packed In along the entire six miles
of the line of march, but 150.000, counting
the children, of whom there were thou
sands, isn't a great way from the right
figure.
Column Starts Without Delay.
Happily there was very little delay in
the appearance of the column. The
dons throngs were hardly adjusted
when the head of the column appeared
with a flourish of trumpets and amid a
hourly round of applause from the con
course of spectators. Ahead of the line
was a. huge vehicle devised for illuminat
ing purposes and which seemed to have
the volume and supply of a volcano.
During the entire two hours of the pa
rade It belched forth colored Are and
rockets without . moment's lapse.
In the first two divisions were the
troops of the National Guard stationed
In Portland and the Spanish-American
War veterans. In the third division were
a platoon of police, a squad of Hunt Club
horsemen and the Portland lettercarriers.
The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh divi
sions and made up of civic and fraternal
organizations, many of them accompa
nied by uniformed ranks. There were
even bands, one to each division. The
bands, named in the order of appearance,
were: Third Infantry band. Brown's
band. Police band. Ro.sebrook's band, Mc
Elroy's band. De Caprlo's band. Gill
man's band.
Soldiers Wear Rose Garlands.
The features attracting most attention
were the Spanish-American War veter
ans, wno wore neavy garlands of roses;
the lettercarriers, whose mallbass
V filled with blooms: the troops of the Na-
. uiuuu. n iin-n were in service uni
form and marched with perfect align
ments and Intervals; the Police band,
which discoursed really excellent music,
notwithstanding Its recent organization;
the uniform ranks of the Woodmen,
whose axes were entwined with roses;
the Maccabees, who had several uni
formed platoons, and the Eagles, with
an attractive float symbolical of the
order.
The column was In command of Adjutant-General
W. E. Finzer. who. with his
chief of staff. Captain Clyfford Game,
IT. S. A., perfected the organization of
the line. The division commanders were
Colonel Charles E. McDonell. Captain H.
U. Welch. A. M. Cronin, B. L. Morden.
L. L. Breede, Captain T. T. Strain and
Alfred Stone The. column moved from
Tenth and Morrison streets, and after
passing through the principal streets for
a distance of approximately six miles,
dispersed at Tenth and Alder streets.
Solid Masses or People.
Morrison and Washington streets were
the points of heaviest congestion during
the evening. From g until 9:30 o'clock
these streets were practically impassable.
An hour would have been required for
anyone to worm his way a. single block.
It was along these streets that hundreds
of people got packed in beyond any hope
of seeing more of the parade than the
occasional top of a horseman's head. The
grandstand was packed with people,
every seat being occupied long before
the column began passing.
It was this great turnout of the public
and the general manifestation of good
will and enthusiasm which afford an
Insight into the unprecedented success
that Is bound to attend the third annual
Rose Festival. Decorations and illumina
tions on business places were more elab
orate than at the zenith of any preced
ing Festival. Festival colors in festoons,
streamers and flags were displayed every
where and most every big establishment
seemed bent on outdoing the others in
Illuminating designs.
From now on there will be no lull In the
round of daily Festival events. Until
Saturday night the sordid things of life
will be forgotten and only such business
will be transacted as necessity compels.
The bulk of the people are bent on get
ting the most out of the gay week of the
reign of roses. Tonight the electrical pa
geant marking the coming of the Rose
King; tomorrow the dazzling panorama of
five miles of automobiles hidden in roses,
the next day a five-mile stretch of horses
and vehicles burdened with blooms; Fri
day and Saturday the lively races, horse
and automobile, and the dozen and one
minor amusement features of each day,
all combine to make a memorable week of
festivity.
President Taft sent his good wishes
soon after he pressed the button that cir
cuited into the fire gong. The message
was received at Festival headquarters
early In the afternoon by R. W. Hoyt,
president of the Festival, to whom It was
addressed. The greeting from the Chief
Executive read :
"I have pleasure In sending good wishes
for the success of the Rose Festival and
hearty greetings to those participating
In it."
MERCHANTS MAKE PROTEST
Want Some of Parades Routed Along
Third and First Streets.
Merchants on Third Street and First
street, are very much disappointed be
cause none of the Rose Festival pa
rades has been routed along those streets.
Last night the declaration was made by
W. F. Llpman that unless a change in
roufes was ordered by noon today the
merchants would take steps to show their
disapproval.
"The merchants of Third street held
a meeting this evening and appeared
before the Rose Festival committee,"
said Mr. Llpman. "We endeavored to
Induce the committee to route one or
two of the parades on First and Third
streets, but every effort waa unavail
able. "Tomorrow morning a private meet
ing will be held which will be attended
by Mr. Roberts, of Roberts Brothers,
Mr. McAllen, of McAllen & McDonnell,
myself and a dozen others to decide
what action shall be taken. I believe
that unless the routes are changed by
noon so that some of the parades may
be seen on First and Third streets,
every merchant on those streets will
remove his decorations and will re
fuse hereafter to contribute to the Rose
Festival. We are very much put out
the way we have been Ignored."

Shot At Dy Alabamans.
The New York, which landed near Cor
inth Miss., was also shot at Sunday
night, while passing over Morgan County,
Ala. Describing the shooting, Mr. Har
mon said:
"Expecting to land in the wilds of Can
ada, we were loaded with nrnvisir.no
ammunition, heavy shoes and clothing
and canned goods. In an upper wind an
air current brought us south, and we de
cided to throw away about 500 pounds of
this stuff. Not wishing It should be lost,
we descended to within 900 feet of the
earth and began distributing It where it
would be found near houses and villages.
When directly over a very small village,
80 miles north of Birmingham, a man
with a rifle cried 'Come down here or I
will bring you down.' We continued our
course and he fired three times, one of the
bullets singing through the basket. Offi
cers have been sent out from Corinth In
an endeavor to arrest the man."

able Cures.
The processes of digestion are eon-
trolled by the blood and nerves. That
is why the tonic treatment with Dr.
Williams' Pint Pills by which the blood
is built up, has cured so many cases of
stubborn stomach trouble.
Many people are suffering daily from
stomach trouble because they cling to
old-fashioned methods, eat predigested
roods and in other ways aggravate the
disorder they seek to cure. But preju
dice must give way before proof such as
the cure of Mr. John T. Timmons, a
well-known newspaper writer, of Cadiz,
Ohio, offers. He says:
For ten or more years I suffered se
verely with dyspepsia and a weak stom
ach, and in a sense was a burden to my
self and others. I was thin and pale,
had no ambition, suffered with cramps
in my stomach, headaches, was consti
pated and finally my kidneys became
affected. My tongue was coated and I had
a uau lasia m my monxn. x naa severe
attacks of vomiting, with dreadful pains
in my stomach and bowels from which
1 could get no relief unless I starved my
self. Following these attacks I had to
eat very light food. My heart was weak
and, in going up stairs or exercising, it
would beat rapidly and on several occa
sions caused me to fall. I was tinder a
doctor's care all of the time but his
medicine did not help me. I struggled
along in this manner until I became
desperate. I tried many remedies, that
were guaranteed to cure, but without
gaining any benefit.
"As a last resort I decided to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I saw a change for
the better in a very short time, and con
tinned to take the pills, m airing wonder
ful improvement, until I was complete
ly cured. I now weigh over 200 pounds
while during the many years I suffered
I only weighed about 126. I have no
stomach or kidney trouble, do not suffer
from constipation and am the picture of
health. I consider I owe my present
condition to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
A diet book containing full informa
tion about the tonic treatment will be
sent free upon request.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re
