Enshrined on a regal cortege of auto mobiles, the rose in myriad number was paid befitting homage by the Festival inousands yesterday afternoon. Two and a half miles of decorated automo biles, most every machine laden to the limit by lavish floral designs, made up the brilliant procession. In that long line was every color, very tint and hue, known to the realm of the beautiful. A million and more buds and blooms were woven into every order of artistic design available to the ingenuity of man. There were banks and bowers, pyramids, clusters, coils, lines, laterals, stars, crescents, columns. In many of the floats there was archi tecture as .intricate and marvelous as that of an ancient temple. Gay Throng Banks Route. Back and forth along 20 miles of streets, on both sides of the Willamette, the triumphal cortege made its way, exciting unrestrained appreciation and applause from a gay Festival throng that banked in every foot of the route. The crowd distributed Itself with some thing bordering on good Judgment after the experiences in congested business renters that deprived hundreds from seeing anything at all Monday and Tuesday nights. There were no fewer than 100.000 people abroad, which is all the more remarkable because of the fact that the procession passed in the busy hours of the early afternoon. Wild Flowers Are Effective. At 2:30 P. M. the column moved, half an hour late. The first vehicle. Its springs dipped by the weight of flow ers, set off the limitless reservoir of Festival enthusiasm. The succeeding vehicles fanned it to continued in tensity. Only for an instant, now and .nen, u some vain person bent on showing himself and who had forgotten or neglected to decorate hove into view, did the crowds pause in the cheer ing to catch their breath. . xtoses predominated in the proces sion, but Oregon wild flowers were ar ranged effectively on many cars. Golden rod. carnations, snowballs and the lim itless variety of wild flowers were used In profusion, although the most superb decorations, of course, were in roses. Some Simple; Some Complex. Many of the decorators effected a sin gle tone pink. red. yellow or white. Others laid on two or even three tones. blending their medium into harmonious and delightful contrasts. Those who bore away the trophies achieved honors to be listed among the Important victories of a lifetime. No machine that was not a thing of infinite beauty In its cloak or bright flowers got a trophy. Here is the list of those who won. It Is printed elsewhere, but the subject is big enough for repetition: List of the Winners. Class A, electric pleasure vehicles Miss Mildred Keats, first; Mrs. J.

Johnstone Meyers, the Chicago pastor who on Mon day last insisted on the expulsion from the Baptist conference of Professor George D. C. Burnham Foster, of the Uni versity of Chicago, author of "The Func tion of Religion" and other works, said today that SI ministers had agreed to vote for the ousting of Foster -when the question came up- next Monday. Accusations that Professor Foster Is an atheist and an Infidel will, it is said, be presented in substance a follows: "One Author of -The Function of Re ligion in Man's Struggle for Existence.' which shows its writer an atheist. 'Two Author of 'The Finality of Chris tian Religion,' which brands its author as an infidel. Three Expelled from the faculty of the University of Chicago divinity school following the publication of 'The Finality of Christian Religion." (This charge may not -be brought, as Professor Foster de nies it.) 'Fourth Excerpts from his latest book. tending to show that he is an enemy of the Baptist ministry: 'The man of today who can believe in miracles is naive. the ao-called church of Jesus Christ is made up of lubbers." "Five Views expressed in hie books are a violation of the fundamental law of the Baptist Ministers" Union. "Six Admits he is a Unitarian. "Seven Acts as pastor of a Unitarian Church." Professor Foster is quoted as saying that he and his friends will make a de termined fight against the proposed action. FUGITIVE FIRES AT CROWD Supposed Burglar, Hatless and Left- Jlandcd, Startles East Siders. A man and a ' woman drew a large crowd about 10 o'clock last night by chasing a man from East Twenty-ninth and East Pine streets to East Twenty- eighth and East Ash streets', crying "stop the thief." as loudly as they could. At the last corner the fugitive turned, and, drawing a revolver, fired at his pursuers. The shot went wild and struck no one in the crowd close at his heels. The man and woman who had been chasing him then turned and fled in the opposite direction. The object of the chase was last seen hatless running west on East Ash street. The report spread was that the fugitive was a burglar who had been surprised in someone's house and was trying to escape. . Patrolmen were unable to verify this statement. The police are trying to unravel the mystery. B. El Eva, wno lives at mo East Ash street, was on his porch when the man ran by. It was in front of Eva's house that the fugitive fired his pistol. Eva says he was a tall, young man about 25 years old and was dressed In a long black coat, light trousers and a black derby hat. He was smooth shaven. A peculiarity of the supposed burglar is that he is presumably left handed, as he drew and fired his weapon with that hand. PLAN BIG NAVAL REVIEW San Francisco Invites Javles of World to Celebrate Rebuilding. LONDON. June 9. A formal invitation from America to Great Britain to par ticipate in a naval review to be held in San Francisco next October to celebrate fhe rebuilding of the city after the earth quake of April, 1906, has been presented by Ambassador Reid. The question is one for consideration by the Cabinet, and it probably will be several days before an answer is received. There is, however, much likelihood of acceptance, as there is a strong friendly feeling in England at the present. T. C. Core, who Is in London to arrange these matters, has formed a small committee of Californians to assist him. This com mittee will go to all the capitals of Europe and present similar invitations. COLLEGE GIRLS ON TOUR Two Hundred From Nashville, Tenn., on Trip Along Coast, SAN FRANCISCO. June 9.

Thousands Come for Day. Thousands of these visitors arrive in Portland on the early morning trains and depart in the evening, many of whom, living in nearby towns, return from day to day.

This much is known by railroad traffic managers. but figures as yet can be based only on estimates, because of the fact that the excursion rates are still in effect, and reports have not been made to the general offices. At tne O. R. & N. general offices it is stated that all available equipment is in use. Train No. 5 from the East arrived in Portland yesterday in two sections of seven cars each. All trains are crowded, and the local excursion travel is coming from as far south as the California line and from as far east as Huntington. Travel Heavy From East. The increase in travel, however, is not all due to local excursion rates. Many tourists coming West to attend the Se attle exposition are stopping off in Port land en route. Frank R.

SETTLE WHOLE QUESTION Relation Between Rates From Mis souri River to Interior and Rates From Pacific Coast to Interior Points. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 9. Under an order issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission to day all class rates fixed by Its recent de cision In the Spokane case will be put into effect July 1, but the commodity rates, touched upon in that case will con tinue as at present without change until after the Commission has taken further testimony and. given further considera tion to such rates, both to the Coast and from Coast points East. This order was entered after a brief hearing this morn ing, participated in by representatives from Spokane, Portland and other inter ested Coast and interior cities. Spokane Decision Reversed. This is a practical reversal of the. famous freight rate case. While the whole matter of graded rates and the effort of the railroads to build up jobbing centers in the Middle West to the detri ment of the Pacific Coast is postponed until the Fall for a full hearing and dis cussion, the Commission has withdrawn, tentatively at least, from the position it assumed in the decision in the Spokane case when it ordered reductions in class and 82 commodity rates from Chicago to Spokane. Although the class rates ordered at that time are to go Into effect, these rates only affect less than carload lots aai scarcely 15 per cent of the traffic moves under them. Action Pleases Railroads. This action is considered to be of momentous import to many interests. It is now intimated in railroad circles that the railroad traffic men were pleased to see the Coast take up the fight against the reduced rates from the Bast to the intermountain territory, and that they were glad to have had this "assistance" in fighting the reductions to Spokane. In any event it is evident that the railroads did all In their power to make the decision unpopular, as they carried the principle to an extreme in their announcement that further re ductions of a similar nature would be put in effect which would have resulted in the markets of the cities across the Sierra being taken from the Coast (Concluded on Pag. 4.)

MILLION AND QUARTER IS LOSS Big Liner Rams Locks and Current Sweeps Through. BLAME PUT ON ENGINEER Steamers Crescent City and Perry G. Walker Lie , on Bottom, While Assiniboia Is Badly Stove In. SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., June . Because the engineer of the Gilchrist liner Perry G.

Walker and the Crescent City are sunken wrecks, the Canadian Pacific steamer Assinlboia is badly damaged, and two waterfalls and a giant whirlpool are raging In what was formerly the great canal. The Walker, a steel steamer of over 4000 tons displacement, was approaching the canal locks from Lake Superior, when her captain signalled the engineer for 'half speed." The engineer misunder stood the gongs and the big freighter was sent forging ahead at top speed. striking the leaf-gates of the high-level chamber of the canal and crushing them in like paper. Instantly the full force of all the water in Lake Superior surged Into the chamber, carrying the Walker with it as if the big freighter were only feather. Two Other Vessels Caught.
