king.
Re Oregonus. they call him. but
that is only another name for the god
cf mirth, innocent fun and unconven
1 locality who. reincarnated, has come
to rule over the city for a week.
He arrived at noon yesterday. He
win remain until midnight Saturday.
During his stay the people of Portland
and their numerous guests from near
and far will be under his absolute
Jurisdiction.
Drill Care Warned OfT.
What matters It who was elected
Mayor last week? What matters it
who governs this favored common
wealth or who presides over the des
tinies of the Nation? Portland people
and their visitors have become willing
subjects of the merry monarch who
comes to rule over them once every
year.
This Jolly potentate Is personified
each year by a different Individual, but
Individuality doesn't count for much
until the close of the week It is what
this individual stands for that Is of im
port and interest. Not until the end
of the week will people begin to care
much about who happens temporarily
to be Kins;.
Identity Well Concealed.
When Oregonus first made his ap
pearance In the marine parade yester
day morning there was more or less
speculation as to hla identity.
Nearly every prominent and near
prominent man in Portland was con
nected with the honored position, but
many of them proved alibis right there
and then, for they appeared in citi
zens clothes even while the royal ruler
was In sight. The mystery surround
ing his identity is one of the choice
traditions of the Festival, and will re
main a subject of speculation and com
ment until the final unmasking Satur
day night.
Even before the arrival of Rex Ore
gonus at noon, when the week of holl-

Most conspicuous of all the visitors
arriving yesterday were the organised
delegations from Pasadena and Oak
land. Cal. They arrived early In the
morning on two special trains. But
they wera not too early for the Royal
Rosarlans of Portland, who were at
the Union Depot In force to meet and
to greet them. Headed by the School

BUMPER CROP OF
WHEAT FORECAST
RECORD HARVEST OF WINTER
GRAIN PREDICTED.
Acreage Is Third Largest Ever
Planted and Conditions Are Fa
vorable for Abundant Yield.
WASHINGTON. June 9. A bumper
wheat crop, sufficient to mill more
than 160,600,000 barrels of flour and
which may reach the proportions of
the record wheat harvest of 1901, if
conditions from now on are exception
ally favorable, was forecasted today
by the Department of Agriculture in
its June crop report.
Government experts estimated this
year's harvest would be 744,000,000
bushels, of which 492,000,000 bushels
will be Winter wheat a record for
this crop and 252,000,000 bushels will
be Spring wheat. The third largest
acreage ever planted, and favorable
growing conditions account for the
prospect for j.n abundant yield-
An increase of more than 1 per cent
over last year's acreage was planted
to oats this year, but the condition of
this crop on June 1 was below the 10
year average and officials estimate
the production will be 1,104,000,000
bushels, or more than 800,000,000 bush
els below last year's harvest. The
acreage planted to barley was less
than that of last year and the produc
tion Is estimated at 177,000,000 bushels.
GOLD BRICK USED IN JOKE
Jim Xjogan Sinters Grants Pass Un
concerned as to Riches.
GRANTS PASS. Or. June 9. (Spe
cial.) Jim Logan, who possesses some
of the best plaoer properties in the
county, came to town, today for the
purpose of making his week-end de
posit from the Osgood placer. In his
outside coat pocket he carried a gold
brick weighing pounds, with aa
much unconcern as n man would carry
his very-day handkerchief.
At the garage Jim's big slug of gold
was used, to play Jokes upon unsus
pecting friends, by placing the bar of
gold In the friend's auto and then ask
lng him what he had. The bar of gold,
small in space size, but large in the
eye's mind, ran along toward. $1000.
At the Logan headquarters, near Wal
do, the home place Is fully equipped
with electric lights, sewer and all mod
ern conveniences, yet the place la 40
miles from Grants Pass.
BALKAN WAR NEAR AGAIN
Bulgaria's Answer Expected to
Arouse Servia and Greece.
LONDON. June 9. Both sides refus
ing to make the slightest concession,
war between the Balkan states is hour
ly growing more Imminent. If Bul
garia sends a negative reply to the
Servian ncte and nothing Indicates
that she will answer otherwise, Servia
and Greece will proclaim the annexa
tion of the occupied Macedonian terri
tories, thereby establishing a definite
casus belli.
The only hopeful feature of the situ
ation consists in the belief that Bul
garia Is lacking the sinews of war.
Servia and Greece are not only better
situated In this respect, but also oc
cupy superior strategical positions.
These facts probably account for the
calmness with which Servia apparent
ly regards the prospects of war.

CHICAGO. Juno 9. Municipal Judge
Mahoney declared a. closed season on

Early In the day the defendant ad
mitted Jealousy as tlie cause of firing

SINGLE BLOOM IS 8 INCHES
E. B. McFarland and Charles F. Min

eral Winning Entries and All
Awards Are Announced.
In all her sweetness and her splendor,
In the high noon of her perfection, the
Rose has come and has re-established
her Summer sovereignty in the city
that, above all others, delights to do
her honor. Other seasons have their
blossoms, but this Is Junetlme and rose
time. The Rose is queen in Portland.
Thousands of people yesterday paid
their tribute of wonder and delight at
the court that has been set up by the
Portland Rose Society at the Armory.
The great hall is filled with roses. In
all the myriad of regal blossoms there
is not one pampered product of the hot
house. These rich and hardy Portland
roses grew and blossomed in the open
air.
Perfection Is Noted.
With fully 100 more entries than
were made last June, with a greater
variety than has ever been shown in
any of the 33 preceding annual ex
hibits, the rose show this year Is pro
nounced by those who have grown roses
In Portland for a quarter of a century
to mark the high tide of the success
of the society, whose members make it
their pleasant business to provide a
rose show each June. The propitious
weather conditions of the past three
weeks have brought the blossoms to
unbUghted maturity at this particular
time.
To the court of Queen Rose last night
came Oregonus. King of the Rose Festi
val, with the liege lord of the Pasa
dena Rose Tournament, with all his
knights, and with Miss Spokane, queen
of the Enakops fiesta. All paid their
respects to the flower that Portland
celebrates. The Glacier National Park
Indians also fell Into the train of the
queen, and danced their celebrated
grass dance In her honor.
President Currey Gives Welcome.
This programme followed an address
of welcome made in behalf of the Rose
Society by Its president, J. A. Currey.

is throwing a large amount of money
into the coffers of Clark County in

VON KLEIN GREETED
BY WOMAN'S KISS

Aid in Release.
PRISONER UP TO GRAND JURY
Miss Newcomb Withstands
Terrific Grilling.
CHICAGO DEATH RECALLED
Latest Entrant in "Diamond Bro
ker's" Case Recently Acquitted in
East of Murdering Her Hus
band Von Klein Protests.
With a rapturous embrace and a doz
en kisses, Mrs. Rena B. Morrow, re
cently acquitted at Chicago of the mur
der of her husband, and who provided
the $14,000 bond given by Edmond K.
C. Von Klein while he was awaiting
extradition from Chicago, greeted the
prisoner in his cell on the third floor
of the C'ty Jail yest-jrday afternoon.
The pair conversed privately for 15 or
20 minutes and rumors were abroad
last night that the release of Von
Klein under bond of $10,000 or $5000
cash would follow the arrival of tha
woman.
This and the binding over of Von
Klein to the grand Jury to answer to
the charge of stealing $3500 worth of
diamonds from Miss Ethel Newcomb
were developments yesterday in the
celebrated case. Miss Newcomb with
stood a terrific grilling by Attorneys
Fitzgerald and Johnson for the defense,
and emerged triumphantly.
Her charge that Von Klein, after par
ticipating in an illegal ceremony with
her in San Francisco, fled with her
diamonds, was corroborated by the tes
timony of Detective Day, who identified
Von Klein as George B. Lewis, who
was here at the time, posing as Mies
Xewcomb's husband, and by that of J.
H. Marble, a barber at the Portland
Hotel, who said he had known "Lewis"
for 1 2 years and saw him the day of
his flight with a handkerchief full of
jewelry. He positively identified Von
Klein. The defense offered no testi
mony. Woman Heavily Veiled.
While the fact that Mrs. Morrow i
in the city is nowhere admitted and
even is diplomatically denied by At
torney Logan, of the defense, there is
no question that the woman in blue,
who Interviewed the prisoner yester
day, is she. She has veiled her face
heavily and moves in secrecy, but per
sons who have seen her identify her
picture.
Just before the time set for the hear
ing in Municipal Court yesterday, a
middle-aged woman, dressed in a blue
gown and wearing a heavy veil, applied
at the station desk for permission to
speak to Von Klein. She was ap
proached by Patrolman Coulter, but
as he was wearing a khaki motorcycle
uniform she refused to talk to him
and later asked Patrolman Thatcher if
he was not a reporter.
When the woman was admitted to
Von Klein's cell he threw his arms
about her and they kissed heartily. The
officer courteously withdrew while they
conferred, but he saw her shake her
finger in Von Klein's face and say.
laughingly. "Don't tell me; I know
what sort of a fellow you are and what
you are capable of doing."
Woman Eludes Pursuer.
After the interview Mrs. Morrow left
the station and was followed, but be
trayed at once her knowledge that
she was being shadowed, and led her
pursuer a chase which lasted an hour
and then ended in her escape. Later it
developed that she had made head
quarters in the lobby of the New Hous
ton Hotel throughout the day. confer
ring with friends and attorneys for
Von Klein.
Late yesterday afternoon a woman
called The Oregonian office by tele
phone, saying that she was here from
Chicago to attend tno Rose Festival
and witshed to protest against the
newspapeis giving credence to the
charges of Miss Newcomb against "that
nice boy. Von Klein." She said she
knew of improprieties committed in
Chicago by Miss Newcomb. The story
she told was recognised by Detective
Day as Identically the same as one told
him in Chicago by Mrs. Morrow.
The acquaintance of Mrs. Morrow and
Von Klein began through the fact of
their having the same attorney in Chi
cago. Mrs. Morrow was charged with
killing her husband. Dr. Charles B.
Morrow, who was found on his porch
with bullet wounds in his brain and
heart. The couple were somewhat
prominent and the case caused a great
stir. Mrs. Morrow was acquitted prin
cipally through the testimony of three
women who said that they were pass
ing the Morrow home when a man
rushed out with a revolver in his hand.
Mr. Morrow Aids on Bond.
Mrs. Morrow was persuaded by her
attorney to furnish the $11,000 bond
for Von Klein and thereafter became
bis devoted champion. - She talked of
coming to Portland to assist him. but
later asserted that she could not spare
the money.

woman, "Mrs. Webber." alleged victim
