V 13 ROSE BUZZARD HIIS Pretty Girls Toss Millions of Blooms on Heads of Crowds. FLOWER BATTLE FOUGHT Petals, Blossoms and Bouquets Are Wafted to hiectators Young Women Pelt Stranger With Perfume-Laden Missiles. . Streets In the business districts en both sides of the river literally were covered with roses yesterday morning when half a score of flower-laden trol ley cars, presided over by pretty girls and white-clad men, passed through the city, bombarding spectators with petals, buds, blooms and bouquets. More than 6.000.000 roses were used. They wkr of every known variety and of every possible shade and color. Every part of the city contributed Its quota of flowers to the residents of North Portland, Piedmont, Peninsula and neighboring districts who con ceived the Idea of the -Rose Bllxxard." Through the entire week the street car crews carried roses to the 'Billiard-' headquarters where they were pre served for use yesterday morning. Thousands of people mostly strang ers lined the streets to view and par ticipate In the novel spectacle. Most of them carried baskets of roses from which thoy vigorously showered the oc cupants of the cars. Bleaa nettle Keagkt. The boys and girls who rode In the procession In turn heaved roses by the handful and by the armful at the spec tators. In front of the grandstand on Morrison street a veritable "battle" was fought. The streets and sidewalks were covered to a depth of several Inches with petals. A white uniformed band In an open car playing lively airs announced the approach of the "shower." In a car Immediately back of It was an elabor ately decorated platform from which whole roses and millions of petals lit erally were blown out Into the crowds. By an Ingenlus arrangement a tn and blower was attached to the motor of the car. The flowers were dumped Into a huge funnel from which they were forced high "Into the air, scattering on huads and shoulders as they fell. An open car carried three score men and women, each presiding over great boxes of flowers which they whirled promiscuously Into the sidewalk groups as they moved along. An attractive feature was that of the TTnlted Artisans No. 46. of Piedmont. The car was decorated In pure white and was populated with (0 attractive girls and young women attired In white. They likewise Bred volleys of bouquets Into the waiting arms of per sons In doorways, windows and on street corners. The Mt. Johns car was decorated In pink. Its occupants were kept busy tossing perfumed roses. Two cars conveyed the boys and girls of Ockley Green Kchool. They were decorated In pink and white. In their enthusiasm the youngsters exhausted their supply of roses before the pro cession was half over. Then they re sorted to song and good natured cheer ing. Residents of th Peninsula district worked faithfully for more than a month to make this feature 'of the Rosa Festival a success. They succeeded. Kven a shower Just before the floats reached the W est Hide did not mar. the parade nor lessen the vigor with which the participants fired their repeated charges of floral ammunition. Former fSvcala Eclipsed. The "Bliziard" was far better than a similar feature last year. There were more floats, more people, more flowers snd more enthusiasm. More spectators viewed It from the sidewalks. As the cars passed the Meier & Frank building In Morrison street tons of rose petsls were showered down upon them, covering the crowd In the stands opposite as well as those on the adja cent streets with a blanket of soft, fragrant petals. J. H. Nolta and H. A. Ruple had charge of the arrangements and were assisted by a staff of co-workers who labored long and hard for the final triumph. Fire Chief Dowell and some of his men aided materially. The Port land Railway. Light & Power Company provided cars and Fairbanks, Morse A Company supplied the blower. While the parade was rounding the corner of Morrison and Nineteenth streets the car containing the blower collided with a truck and J. H. Nolta 'was thrown violently against the side of the wooden platform, suffering pain ful' but not serious Injuries. TRAFFIC HAXDLETIS LAUDED frfreet Railway, School Authorities and Police Aid In Parade. One of the marvelous features of the parade yesterday was the manner In which the Portland Railway, Light Power Company officials, tha school authorities and tha police handled the children and tha streetcars, ao that every school had Its car at hand Im mediately following tha arrival of each school at Grand and Hawthorne av cnues. It had been arranged that each school as Its children reached this intersec tion would ba deflected toward tha river or eaat on Hawthorne, as the rase might be. in order to catch tbelr respective cara for home. Traffic was kept going on Hawthorne avenue. while the thousands of boys and girls marched along with military precision. 1 ne work was accomplished without a hitch and all the children reached tlielr homes promptly. It was marked Improvement over previous years. "OLD GLORY" IN MIRAGE JMght Phenomenon la Star -and Stripes Silhouetted In Sky. Searchlights of the cruiser Mary land bring out at night a phenomenon that baa aroused the patriotic admira tion of all who have seen It. It Is a silhouette of the American flag In tha sky. During the marine pageant upon the harbor at night It was noticed with fMpeclal distinctness. One of the searchlights of the cruiser hsd been set upon the flag at Its mast, bringing it out in tha darkness as brilliantly as though it hs4 been done In colors of fire. Passing on, the white shsft of light f.-ll In a great white circle on the low hunalng clouds over the city, and In the ring of light among tha clouds, fluttered the colossal shadow of "Old Glory."

SHIP'S LAUNCH COLLIDES Constitution Rammed at Water Line but Damage Is Small and Will Be Itepalred by Tars This Promises to Be Bj Day. First of the accidents growing out of the transportation of thousand dally to the crilser Maryland by nu merous launches occurrea yesteraay. when one of the steamers from th cruiser struck the launch Constitution, tearing a hole In her hull on the star board side at the water Una. The Con stitution filled and sank to tha canopy, but waa raised later. The collision happened near tna Rurmldiatreiit bridge. Tha Consti tution was bound upstream and had two stewards from the Slaryiana as passengers. The cruiser s launcn waa headed down the harbor, being enroute from Stark street to the ship. Cross signals are eaio to nave oeeo rtnpi- ble, the steamer having wniatiea to dsss and the Constitution' answered kwlth a rross signal and Is alleged to haf headed' directly across the steam er's bows. There were six plsnks and two ribs broken on the Constitution. An enlgn from the Maryland made an examination of th damag and it was arranged, that man from th cruiser would make repairs, though denying all responsibility for the ac cident. Other than receiving a duck ing, occupants of tha Constitution es caped unharmed. The reception aboard the Maryland In tha afternoon was not attended by such a crush aa other days, because of tho Rosebud parade on tha East Side, yet there were over 2000 persons to Inspect th big cruler. It 1 thought that th attemianc today will be th heaviest of the week, owing to the number of children that will go aboard. The officers are yet rounding out so cial engagements and those features vk 111 cease tomorrow, as the Maryland Is to sail about 1:00 o'clock Monday morning.

Democrats Net Oraaalaed. Like the Republican delegation from Oregon, lb ten Democratic renrefen- tatlvea to th Baltimore convention will go unorganised. They have not even decided upon the selection of chairman of the delegation. Neither have they dealgnated their rholce for asalgnmcnt on the platform snd cre dentlais committees snd th less li porlant members of the committees to notify the csmtldatee for president and Vlc-Prealdent of their nomination by tlie convention. The delegation Is en titled to one member on each of these committees. Hither Bennett, Holman or King probably will be given a place on the platform committee. The delegation Is equally undecided its to the election of a National Com mitteeman, the most Important Job to be niled, to aucceed Milton A. Miller, mat Henator from Linn County. Mr. Miller left aeveral days sgo for Haiti mor and will mak a vigorous nght to retain the commltteethlp for another four-year period.

If the Democrats should win out In th No vember election he wants to have some thing to ssy In the matter of reco mendatlons as to Federsl appointments In hla atata under it Democratic ad ministration.
