"Live Wires Invite You to Attend
Harvest Festival and Livestock
Show," Result Banner Crowd
Cheers at Coffins.
"Llv Wires" took the streets of Port
land by atono last night with a parade
that put old General Apathy to flight,
routed the disgruntled and crushed the
"knockers" under the big gasoline roller,
which took a conspicuous part In trie
column. More spectacular parades have
been seen In Portland but none more
typical cf the spirit of the West.
The heterogeneous procession, stretch
ing out for CO blocks, was a long line of
enthusiastic marchers. It was a hastily
arranged affair, but even so It more
clearly represented everyday life and that
enterprising ambition that has built up
the metropolitan city of Portland and
converted the great forests and plains of
Oregon into fruitful forms.
The parade started with red fire and
noise. It was a greet demonstration to
arouse interest in the Portland Uve
ptock Show and Harvest Festival. To
give empha&kt to the sentiment, a banner,
400 feet long. was carried in the parade.
As the long strip of muslin wound around
the corners, these words. In flaring red.
and black letters, were read:
Bis: lianner Bears Invitation.
"Live Wires Invite you to be sure and
tt the Portland Live ock Show and
Harveast Festival. Races every day next
week, Great programme. Midway. Live
"Wires Invite you."
As the banner showed up around a cor
ner and gradually stretched away, the
'shouts of the thousands who lined either
side of the streets drowned the hilarity
'of the newsboys and tAe loud aVfle of
the gasoline roller which drrsn them
piled pell-mell Into two largo dump
wagons. The funeral cortege, which fol
' lowed the huge, crunching machine, told
'the story of what happened to those who
'stood In the way of progress, and served
las a warning to others who might get
in the way of the mighty roller of 'Live
Wtr
The Inscription on one cheap casket
I read:
"I was put out of business. I kept
bad roads in Clark County. Mr. A.
Commissioner."
Another read: "Here sleeps one that
opposed the Broadway bridge."
Lat of Moihacks, Dies.
Evidently two had fallen under the
crushing roller when "XJe Wires"
headed for the Broadway bridge, for
the legend over another casket read
"Here rests from overwork a man
against the Broadway bridge."
As a parting shot as to the punish
ment of a certain element that got in
:he way this Inscription was emblaz
oned on another pine box:
"Here lies the body of A. Silurian.
the last of the mossbarka.
In an IncUvwl express wagon lay the
body of another antl-goodroadenuan, and
his epitaph read:
"If you could have only let me live
. another year I wtnild have built roads
through Washington county. Mr. A. Road
Supervisor.'
As a final warning to the non-progres
sives, several big cards, with the sug
gestion "To 8lng Sing for the Broadway
Bridge Knorksm." dangled from the rear
and skies of the auto truck hearses.
Xo Tears 8hel.
Th grim humor of the funeral proces
sion, which was headed by the "Hun;
tven." appealed to the crowds and furb
coffin with Its message was applauded.
No tear was shed, no sympathy for the
unfortunate dead was expressed. The
coffins and the signilicant epitaph told
a story mora completely than an elab
orate add res or literary description.
But the noise of the enthusiasts, the
shouts of the happy newsboys and the
allegorical lessons were not all the
parade. There were shown a few of the
finely-bred horses that will be seen
on exhibition and In "the races at the
fulr. for which a $10,000 purse Is hung
up. The Riverside Driving Club had a
turnout of fine drl-lng horses, and no
better harness parade, stripped of dec
orations and pomp, was ever seen on
the streets of Portland.
A squadron of mounted polios cleared
the way for the parade. Then came a
band and marchers with red fire. Next
weer the raring horses hitched to sul
kies, and then the Riverside Driving
Club.
Rotary Club Has Mwel.
The Rotary Club announced its oVn
ing with a great wheel, 20 feet In diam
eter, which was rolled along the street
ahead of the marching club. dose
behind the Rotary Club came two em
blems of stock Industry In Oregon, dls-
plsyed by the Union Meat Company.
The first was a sow with her pigs,
mounted on a wagon drawn by six
horses, and the next was a sheep, on
a wagon drawn by four horses.
Roman charioteers In flowing white
robes, each driving a team of four
fractious mules, were the first humor
ous features of the pageant and set the
i row da in an uproar.
Following the ancient racers csme
noise and newsboys. Scores of the lit
tle fellows were piled In. around an!
on top of a covered express wagon.
Each wore a uniform a simple crea
tion of a sheet with a hole In It slipped
over the head.

cages containing domestic and Jungle

came next. The cages were Wells-
Fargo expreM wagons. In several of
the cages newsboys played wild men.

Six large stallions, two blacks, two
grays and two sorrels, tramped hc-avtly
along, to the admiration of the specta
tors. The take-oft on a parade of record
breaking racehorsest was an amusing fea
ture, with mules playing the titular roles.

Appropriately winding up the parade
was tne funeral cortege or the "dead

BY LILIAN TINGLE.
g mn.jirr.a, peacnes ana pears form a

ably remain so for a week or two. Fine
pears are obtainable at 15 to 20 cents
dozen, some of the smaller Bartletts

cooking- utensils, stoves and bedding are

On a charge of setting- out a fire in

east of Eugene, J. H. Gregg, who aavs

does not contain his name and nothing
is known of him here.
ALLEGED FIREBUG'S TRIAL SET
J. II. Gregg Charged With Sotting

EUGENE. Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) J.
H. Oregg, who was arrested by United
States Marshal N. S. Hamlin on the
charge 'of setting out fires In the Na

fore United States Commissioner W. W.
Calkins, today and placed under bonds
of $2500 to appear for examination on
September 10. The time given him will
enable him to secure witnesses.
The Information upon which this ar.

Belts, forest supervisor of the Cascade
reserve.
As far as known this is the first ar

the charge, although It is general belief
here that a number of the fires. In the

Intimations Are Physician Will Be
Called 1'pon to Give" Further
Explanation of Demise of
Young Woman in Office.
The Circuit Court grand Jury will at
10 o'clock this morning end Its labors
and Its existence by reporting to Pre
siding Judge Cleland its action upon
the charges against Dr. J. J. Rosen
berg In connection with the death of
Vera Hall, on his operating taoie, sev
eral weeks ago. Nearly all day yester-
dav was taken ud with the examina
tion of the witnesses in tne case. ,ine
mother of the dead girl, who has been
seriously 111 ever since the affair, was

and Elmer Erickaon. to whom era
Hall was engaged to be married, and
who was with her at the time of her
death, was also called in.
While no breath of rumor has leaked
from the grand Jury room In regard to
the case. It is practically assured that
the physician will be called to answer,
either on the ground that a criminal
operation was in process of being at
tempted when death occurred, or that
he was negligent in his use of the anes
thetics In the case.
Chloroform Causes Death.
Vera Kail died under the influence of
chloroform on Dr. Rosenberg's operat
ing table. In his office at 692 V, First
street. July 24. The death occurred In
the afternoon and the body was spir
ited away that night In Rosenberg's
automobile, to the home in Oregon City,
escorted by the mother, Erlckson, Ros
enberg and the latter's friend, Richard
Grayson. A report was given out the
next morning that the girl had died on
the way. but, upon being questioned by
the District Attorney, Rosenberg ad
mitted that she had expired immediate
ly after he gave her chloroform. An
autopsy was held, which showed that
i
condition existed that might have
caused an operation to be desired. Both
Rosenberg and Erlckson denied at the
time that anything of the kind was
contemplated.
Erlckson said that he had taken the
girl to Rosenberg, though his office
was In an out-of-the-way part of the
city, upon the recommendation of his
brother. He said she suffered from
a slight illness. Rosenberg declared
that he had not treated the girl at all
and was simply attempting to make an
examination when she complained of
great pain. He gave chloroform to fa
cilitate the . examination, and the girl
took but a few breaths and then died.
Doctor Soon Released.
Rosenberg was taken into custody
the night after the discovery of the
death, but was soon released. He Is
held under suspicion by the District
Attorney for a number of reasons.
The primary reports emanating from
him ooncernlng the affair- were contra
dictory. He was an active agent In
an effort to conceal the fact that the
death occurred in this city. There Is
no apparent good reason for Erick-
son's taking the girl to so remote
place as Rosenberg's to have a minor
illness attended to. It is very unusual,
physicians say, to administer anesthet
ic for an ocular examination. The girl's
clothing had not been loosened when
an attempt was made to resuscitate
her. Reports have been Current that
an attempt has been made to remove
witnesses in the case. This, however.
la discredited by the District -Attorney.
In addition to the Rosenberg case,
number f other matters will be report
ed upon by the jury, which then goes
out of existence and another will be
empaneled at once to take Its place.
BUILDING RECORD JUMPS
I Error in Figures Discovered. Making
August Permits $2,555,875.
Building- permits In Portland for Au
gust reached the aggregate of $3,555,-
875. Instead of $2,444,415, as first re
ported by Building Inspector Plummer.
In finally casting up the records for the
month It was found that one permit
for $110,000 had been overlooked ' and
other errors In footings brought the
total $140 yet higher. This change in
the figures makes Portland's Increase
over August, 1909. 156.52 per cent, in
stead of 146.39 per cent. It also in
creases the totals for the year by a like
amount, giving this city now $11,973,837
In buildings since January 1. 1910. The
per cent of Increase for the year to
date Is raised from 44.43 per cent to
45.79 per cent.
Under the revised figures Portland,
leads San Francisco, Seattle and Los
Angeles by over a million dollars for
August, 1910. The revised tables are

house reposed $500 in gold and a certifi
cate of deposit for $200, the hoardings of
William Wheatley, of 749 Minnesota av
enue. Milton McDowell, a brother-in-law
of Wheatley, was aware of the hid
ing place, entered the house Thursday
evening and carried off the money.
Wheatley missed it soon afterward and
suspected McDowell. He called in De
tective John Price, who persuaded Mc
Dowell to confess the crime and return
the money.
McDowell wept in the court room yes
terday as he told Judge Bennett that he
took the money with the intent to re
turn it. He was endeavoring to secure
a patent for some device he had orig
inated and needed capital. He knew
that Wheatley did not intend to use the
money. before next February and thought
that he would be able to return it before
that time.
In consideration of the man's penitent
attitude and the fact that the money
was recovered, the charge was reduced
to simple larceny and he was given a
year at the rockpile.
