The efforts of the Commercial Club to f -t out a large crowd were entirely suc cessful. Farr People Snrprlsed. That the officials of the Exposition were greatly surprised at the showing y made by Portland was very evident, and from President Chllberg down the list they expressed themselves as highly pleased with the day.

A good deal of surprise and not a little amusement waa created by the fact that Mayor Simon and his party became so Interested In sightseeing about the city that neither he nor President Wetherbee of the Portland Commercial Club was present at the reception. The Oregon Commissioners felt half Inclined to be a trifle angry at the absence of the dis tinguished officials, but as It was more or less of a misunderstanding, they were willing to forgive and forget. A a matter of fact. Mayor Simon never promised to reply to any address of wel come, as he does not like to make public speeches, and he did not know that he was expected to respond to proposed re marks by Presldenf Chllberg, and there fore spent the day viewing municipal Im provements, such as the parks and boule vards. City Hall, garbage crematory and pavements, and did not make his appear ance at the Exposition grounds until late In the day. When the Mayor did not ap pear, the address of welcome was eliminated. Thousands Attend Reception. 4 The reception continued nearly two hours, a constant stream of people from Portland passing along the line and meet ing the distinguished Exposition officials and hostesses from Oregon.

Members of the City Council and Exec utive Board of Portland were here and County Clerk Fields was present. State Senators Nottingham and Selling were also among the crowd. The large regis tration book In the Oregon building was the center of a busy scene all day long, thousands writing their names therein. It is remarked by high Exposition offi cials that the Portland day crowd, while not so noisy as some that have been here. Is one of the most substantial evidences of the progress of Portland and the friendly spirit now prevailing In the Ore gon metropolis toward the Exposition, and asaltle in general. Good feeling pre vailed, and the hosts from Portland en Joyed every moment of the memorable lay. Depot Deserted on Arrival.

PLAYED "WILD WEST" PRANKS Oregon Man Caught Trying to Make Roelker Dodge Shots. HEAR SEVERAL WITNESSES Adams Tells of Attempts Made by Sutton's Family to Get Admis sions From Him After First Inquiry. ANNAPOLS, Md., July 20. The pro ceedings at the discussion of the court of inquiry Investigating the death of Lieutenant Sutton, of Portland, Or., took a sensational turn when First Lieutenant William F. Bevan, of the Marine Corps, now attached to the. battleship New Jer sey, testified. He related his part In the tragedy of October 13, 1907. when Toung Sutton met his death. Bevan was officer of the guard In the marine camp on that night. Like Lieu tenant Adams, he testified that Sutton deliberately shot himself, but his descrip tion of Sutton's alleged suicide varied from the atory told by Adams. The most glaring disagreement with Adams' story came when Bevan swore that he and two other officers were on top of Sutton and trying to hold him down to prevent him from using his revolvers, when Sutton freed an arm and fired a bullet Into his own brain, after some one remarked that Sutton had kllleld Lieutenant Boelker. Sutton on Rampage. Bevan's testimony also revealed that a situation bordering on a Wild West ram page had existed in the marine camp prior to the shooting, when Sutton had been trying to make Lieutenant Roelker dance by leveling two revolvers at hla feet, and afterwards rushed from the camp, disregarding his arrest by the offi cer of the guard and shouting that he would quit the marine camp for good and all. Lieutenant Adams. Osterman and Be van occupied the time today. Lawyer Davis, Mrs. Sutton's counsel, soon com pleted his cross-examination of Lieuten ant Adams, and then Lieutenant Oster man testified. Osterman, as a member of Sutton's automobile party on the night of October 12. corroborated Lieutenant Adams' story, except to add that he be lieved Sutton was badly Intoxicated that night. Adams Sticks to Story. Mr. Davis, counsel for Sutton's mother, went over the scene of the shooting again with Lieutenant Adams, and dwelt on the details of distances and time, in an effort to place the exact spot where, and the time at which Sutton waa snot. The witness could only remember ap proximately these details. He said he was sure Sutton wore an overcoat and did not remember Sutton's taking it off any time previous to the first altercation between him and Sutton, when both stripped to the waist preparatory to fighting. The lawyer read excerpts from Lieutenant Adams' testimony at the first (Concluded on Page 12 ) THIS MAN WORKS AND PAY5 AXEo. ZTZZ wtwx.otV tttt v 01 iflOfl.

ANGRY CLASH IN CONFERENCE Aldrich and Cannon Take Bill to White House. LUMBER CAUSES BREACH Fordney and Aldrich Demand Vote, but Payne Breaks Up Confer ence in Rage Insurgent Sen ators Will Support TafU WASHINGTON, July 20. The tariff bill was today transferred bodily from the Capitol to the White House. Deadlocked because of the attitude of Representative Payne, who apparently has become con vinced that he Is in the minority, the conferees abandoned the usual afternoon session. Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon went to the White House to con sult with President Taft, taking the bill with them. What happened between the President and the Senate and House lead era Is a sealed book. When Aldrich and Cannon returned to the Capitol, they minimized differences that had aroused bitterness In the confer ence room and insisted that nothing un usual had occurred. Aldrich said that to morrow would find the conference com mittee again at work, and he expected that by night, when all the conferees were to be entertained by the President at dinner, most of the problems would have been solved. Clash on Lumber Tariff. Neverth!rss, there haa been trouble. Some say that the differences between Aldrich and Payne have taken such form that progress Is Impossible unless the President has influence enough to compel action. It is not denied that there was a clash yesterday between Representatives Payne and Fordney of Michigan. From a credible source It was learned that a crisis waa reached when an effort was made late yesterday to vote on the lum ber schedule. Payne protested am? argued that such a move would be unfair to the President, as this was one of the sub jects practically submitted to him for ad justment, provided he could get votes enough In the two Houses to adopt com promise rates. "If we cannot agree, let's settle the question by voting," Fordney is reported to have suggested. It Is said that Aid rich acquiesced. Payne Defies Aldrich. That Payne had little part In selecting the House conferees Is well known. Payne made recommendations that were Ignored and the Speaker made his own selection. Payne le said to have com plained that the conference committee had been "packed" with high protection ists. When Fordney said, "let's vote." Payne protested with a vehemence that startled his associates. Some one eaid that the majority Should rule. This remark,' It Is declared, came from one of the Senate conferees, and It Incensed Payne still more. Payne told Aldrich that he could vote the Senate members of the confer ence If he chose, but that he could not vote the House members so easily. Full (Concluded on Page 8.)
