Nature's choicest (rifts to Oregon were portrayed in allegorical form to 200.000 enraptured spectators by means of the annual electrical parade the great spectacular event of each year's Rose Festival on the streets of Port land last night. This was the crowning feature of this year's carnival and the premier of all nightly pageants that have gone before. In this creation the festival managers certainly surpassed all pre vious efforts to please. The people saw and with one voice expressed their approval. They were satisfied and said to. Not even the threatening dangers ot a destructive fire that broke out in the business district before the parade was over interfered with the good na ture of the crowd. Although the pro cession halted while the firemen did their work the people stayed patiently. They wanted to bo amused and enter tained and while they could not view the passing floats they entertained one another. Hutcbln Roba Linanaar. In designing and building, the 18 floats that comprise this year's page ant George L. Hutchln, the festival manager, has robbed the English lan guage of power to describe its star tling beauties. The theme suggested by the collec tion of cars is "Flowers and Gems of Oregon." The Impression that he In tended to convey was that Dame Na ture, with lavish hand, spread her rarest products among the hills and valleys of this favored state and that it is oniy py sucn sM-ctacuiar presenta- i tion and on such magnificent plans that' the people may be made to realize how substantially this region has been be stowed. The crowd, with few exceptions, was good-humored and docile, everyone out for a good time, but everyone willing to obey the directions of the police along the lines and give others an equal chance to have a good time with them. Thousands View Parade. The estimates of the number of per sons who were banked along the line of march ary. but it is generally held that there were a great many more witnesses of the electric parade this year than last. While the crowds in the heart of the city were not quite o densely packed as last year, the people spread out more uniformly around the entire route of the parade, and even along upper Thirteenth street and along Hall, and clear out to the den on the fairgrounds, where the trowd is usually thinnest, the line was so thick that it would have been diffi cult to force a way through It in most places. It is estimated that the total number of spectators was over 200.000. Gratidsiands were parked to the limit iCoaoiudul oa raga MAN ON RUNAWAY CAR HAS WILD RIDE WRECK NARROWLY AVOIDED XEAH. MEDFORD. Defective Freighter Runs From Ash land to Medrord, 12 Miles, in. Eleven Minutes. MEDFORD. Or.. June 10. With his lantern swinging in a brave attempt to warn the people. J. A. Fowler, an Ashland yard man, came through Med ford tonight at 75 miles an hour on top of a runaway freight car. With the wires busy clearing the right of way, a switch engine in charge of En gineer Adams in wild pursuit and a doctor motoring to the scene of the expected tragedy, the car by a miracle escaped collision with a freight train at Central Point, as it hastened Into a siding safely, and made the sharp curves at Gold Ray and finally came to a stop one mile this side of Gold Hill. Some idea of the speed of the run away car may bo determined from the fact that the car slipped lose from the train at Ashland at 9:50 and reached Medford, a distance of 12 miles, down grade, at 10:01. a run of 11 min utes, or an average of 65 miles an hour. The pursuing engine made the distance in 15 minutes, half of the schedule time, but lost sight of the runaway at Talent. Fowler was prety well shaken up by his experience, but said he was too busy swinging the lantern and keeping his balance to think much about his danger. The news spread through Medford rapidly and there were hundreds of people at the Southern Pacific station to get the first news of the result of the wild ride. An examination of the car showed that the brake was broken. Fowler tried to stop the car for a siding, but the brakes would not work. Instead of jumping, however, he stuck to his post. SPOKANE RECALL GENERAL Four of Five Commissioners May Have to Face Voters A pa in. SPOKANE. Wash.. June 10. (Spe cial.) All five City Commissioners, ex cept Zora Hay den. who has said he will not run again, will have to stand for re-election In November if the city charter recall is yood. as opposed to the state constitutional recall. This is the apparent outcome of the recall agitation today. Organized la bor's recall petitions against Mayor Hind ley and Commissioner of Finance Falrley were filed this afternoon, and later ther L Q. Cooper "cold storage" petitions, circulated more than a year ago against Commissioner Kassett, were filed. This assures the three long-term Commisionere having to run. in No vember, if the city charter recall still holds good. and. as the short terms of Commissioners Hayden and Coates ex pire at that time those offices will be thrown open also. The Corporation Counsel is going to reoommnfi that; the matter be taken to the courts. JONES BLOCKS SENATE Fijrht for Kxtra Clerk Gets on Nerves of Democratic Colleagues. VASTTTNGTON. June 10. Senator Jones, of Washington, who has failed thus far to secure from the Senate the extra clerk he declares necessary to the proper transaction of his official business, got on the nerves of his Democratic colleagues today when he engineered his slnglehanded filibuster through another session. "Here we sit, the sworn represen tatives of 90,000,000 people." said Sena tor Williams, "trying to transact the important business of the country and all we hear is the hoarse voice of the Senator from Washington crying 'Jones wants clerks; Jones wants clerks.'" Other Senators had comments to make, but Senator Jones continued to demand that every rule of the Senate be applied and prevented the introduc tion of bills or the consideration of any matters with unanimous consent.

RIVER BEGINST0 RECEDE Part of Montgomery Dock No. 1 Damaged and Wheat Is Lost. There was a slight decline in the stage of the Willamette here yester day and rivermen are inclined to the belief that tho freshet Is soon to be a thing of the past. Tho only dam age reported in the harbor from the overflow was to Montgomery dock No. 1, where a part of the deck fell into the river, causing a loss of about 200 tons of wheat. The accident does not Interfere with the loading of vessels and wheat Is being handled as before. The dock is located at the foot of Randolph street. While a few roadways, lead ing rt docks, have been damaged by the freshet, the pressure of water loosening the foundations, no other dock warehouses have suffered and with the river on the decline danger is thought to be passed.

JAPAN STANDS0N TREATY Fourteenth Amendment Omitted Front Land Bill Protest. TOKIO, June 10. It is learned that Japan decided to omit from the text of its rejoinder to the American Govern ment's reply to the protest against the California alien land law the conten tion that it violates the 14th amend ment and leave this point for discus sion between Viscount Chinda, the Jap anese Ambassador at Washington, and Secretary of State Bryan. The reason for this decision was the conviction that Japan's case as a na tion would be stronger if based on the contention that the land bill violates the treaty. The Idea here is that the 14th amendment, as well as the consti tutional prohibition against states pass ing laws impairing obligation contracts, might eventually be the basis of suits brought by Japanese as individuals.

AMERICANS ROUT BRITONS AT POLO 'Big Four' Takes Match 5 1-2 to 3 Goals. UNITED STATES PONIES BEST Cup Defenders Outride and Outplay Invaders. GROSS SCORE IS 7 TO 3 fouls Take 1 1-C Points From Win ning Team's Total "Monte" Wa terbury Surfers Broken Hand. Substitute Plays Well. MEADOWBROOK CLUB. L. j., June 1- Outriding and outplaying the Eng lish polo challengers, the American cup defenders won toaay the opening game of the sixth international match by a score of 5V4 goals to 3. A better Idea of the actual difference in the playinc ability of the two teams is shown by the gross score, which was 7 to 3 in favor of the defending four. Much to the surprise of the specta tors and polo experts, the English players did not show the vaunted team play which had been credited to them before the game. Neither did their ponies outclass the American mounts. In fact the reverse was quite the case and in almost every run down field the American players either held their own or outrode their competitors in the race for the ball. American Teamwork Superb. The combination work of the Ameri can four, with Larry Waterbury at No. 1; J. M. Waterbury, Jr., and L. F. Stod dard at No. 2; Captain H. P. Whitney at No. 3, and Devereaux Milburn at back, was superb. The challenging team, con sisting of Captain L. St. George Cheape at No. 1; Captain A. Noel Edwards at No. 3;.Captaln R. C. Ritson at No. -3 and Captain Vivian Lockett at back, ap peared unable to work together con sistently, due. In all probability, to the close "covering" of the Americans. Hardly had the game begun before it was seen that the odds of 8 to 5 on the English were not warranted, for the "Big Four" carried the play into the English end of the field and kept the cavalry officers so busy defending their goal that offensive tactics on the part of the challengers were temporar ily out of the question. Attack Stuns Briton.. The drives of the Americans were made with excellent direction and length and they never appeared to have difficulty in hooking: the ball out of. scrimmage. The English apparently were stunned by the fierceness of the cup defenders' attack and failed to hold together in teamwork. The three goals scored in the first period went to the United States and it was not until the second period that the English four got going. Ritson and Cheape cut loose with some remarkable long drives and the Invaders began to team up in a fash ion that proved threatening. The work of Captain Lockett at back was remark able in view of the attack directed at him. Larry Waterbury was playing a rushing game and his encounters with Edwards and Cheape were frequent and thrilling. Finally he was penalized for riding across Cheape, who had Just se cured England's first goal with a fine shot from a hard angle. Larry Water bury scored the American goal In this period in 3:03. Defender Rtuh EDxilah Four. The English four were rushed hard by the defenders early in the third, period and Larry Waterbury scored for the Americans in 31 seconds. The ball was carried up and down the field with out a score the remainder of the period. Edwards and Cheape, after a spectac ular ride down the field, had a clear shot at goal, which Captain Cheape missed. The fourth saw the Americans miss ing several easy chances to score, and Captain Cheape also failed from a clear field. The only goal of the period was scored by Larry Waterbury in 7:19, which he partly nullified by a foul in crossing Captain Ritson. The fifth period saw the English at their best. Captain Ritson scored from a hard angle and Captain Cheape made a 75-yard stroke which had Just enough momentum to carry it through the goal posts. "Monte" Waterborr Injured. The succeeding session proved dis astrous for the defenders, for "Monte" Waterbury was hit on the hand by an opponent's mallet and a finger broken in two places. He will not be able to play in Saturday's game. Open riding and individual play marked the seventh period, in which no goal was scored. The American team, however, lost half a point because of sharp crossing by Milburn. Edwards and Ritson again showed some splendid teamwork, but Ritson spoiled a long run by missing an easy goal at the end. The final period had hardly opened before Larry Waterbury was thrown. He Jumped to his feet, but the game was delayed,, as his mount had bolted for the stable and a substitute had to be obtained. Stoddard Leada Attack. When play was resumed both teams (Concluded ou Pii.o X.)
