What first was conceived as a mere
Incident of the Rose Festival enter
tainment the "Night In Rosarla"
parade and accompanying celebration
developed last night Into an effective
method of arousing the latent enthu
siasm of the carnival attendants.
It Just required something like that
of last night to bring life and ginger
Into the situation. The events that
had gone before had failed, somehow,
to do this. But after the parade there
was nothing lacking. The carnival
spirit prevailed. It took possession of
the crowd and kept the people good
natured, frolicking and Joyous on the
streets until the night wore well into
morning.
As was said before, this "Night In
Rosarla" was designed originally as
only an incident In the general scheme
of the week kind of a "filler" between
the automobile parade of the afternoon
and the horse-and-vehlcle pageant of
today. But the automobile procession
failed to arouse much enthusiasm, and
the pleasure-hungry crowd couldn't
wait until today to see the decorated
horses. So this event last night came
at what the fellow who is looking for
scientific explanations might call "the
psychological moment."
Artisans Given Credit.
While it was a part of the Festival
programme, it was not the Festival
officials who were responsible for it.
George L. Hutchin, the general man
ager, graciously passes the credit for
Its success on to the officers and mem
bers of the United Artisans who are
holding their convention In Portland
this week.
The Royal Rosarlans. the Elks and
everal visiting marching bodies as well
as numerous local fraternal organiza
tions gladly Joined the Artisans in
their plan to furnish the festival with
this attraction and collectively they
-succeeded even more magnificently
Whan they had hoped.
If the crowds were well handled by
the police it was because they deserved
it. Captain Moore in his machine at
the head of the parade commented on
the good behavior of the orderly masses
and called attention to the good accom
plished by roping the streets.
Motorcyclists Keep Bnsy.
The motorcyclists at the head of the
parade did good work by riding close
to tho street curbing, causing the over
enthusrastic spectators to step back into
line. The district bounded by Fourth
Tenth. Alder and Stark streets, the most
congested section, was kept clear of
automobiles and vehicles after the pro
cession until streetcar traffic had re
gained its normal condition and pedes
trians had departed on their way.
The policemen played an important
part in the parade itself, the police
band, preceded by Captain Keller and a
police platoon, led the procession and
the crowds gave them generous ap
plause. Captain Moore had a place for
every officer and after the parade said
that each had been In his place, which
undoubtedly accounted fr the absence
01 accidents.
General W. E. Finzer was grand mar.
shal of the parade. He and his aides
rode at the head of the line. On his
staff were K. K. Kubll. Captain V. M.
C. Silva, c. Lucltey, A. Ford and Harry
C. McAllister, the latter representing
the Royal Rosarlans.

ACTRESS HAS GOWN
OF NINE-CENT SILK
LESSOXS IX DRESS TO BE GIVEN
AMERICAN WOMEN.
All Should "Wear Sach Costumes,
lady Constance Stewart Richard
son Tells Reporters.
NEW YORK, June 11. (Special.)
Lady Constance Stewart Richardson ar
rived today on the Olympic. She has
come over to show American women
how to dress, as well as to dance. She
wore a somewhat starlit ng gown, and
to reporters she said:
"I wear this gown all the time. I
designed it myself, and the Japanese
silk from which it was made cost only
nlne cents a yard. Its style is a com
bination of the Japanese kimono, made
longer, of course, and the costume worn
by women of other Oriental lands. All
women should wear such costumes.
They are infinitely more comfortable
and in better taste than the styles of
the present season."
The gown was a sombre affair of
brown, its only suggestion of trimming
being a bit of white at tne wrists and
neclc. The slashes revealed the fact
she wears no stockings, even when off
the stage. Her feet were incased in
sandals of brown ooze.
Asked if she had accpeted a two
weeks engagement because of a wish
to aid the English charities in which
she is interested, she replied:
"Not wholly; neither my husband nor
myself has a large income. I am not
especially fond of the stage, but I saw
an opportunity to make a great deal
of money, and I accepted."
ALBANY SEEKS BIG FUND
College Launches Campaign for New
Buildings.
ALBANY, Or., June 11. (Special.)
A campaign for a $165,000 building
fund for Albany College to erect build
ings on the new campus, recently pur
chased southwest of this city, was
launched at the annual commencement
exercises of the college today. Presi
dent Crooks announced that the board
of trustees of the college had author
ized the campaign to raise money for
the erection of three buildings and to
pay unmet expenses of the recent suc
cessful campaign for a 5250,000 endow
ment fund and the expenses of the com
ing campaign.
The three buildings to be erected
will be an administration building, a
men's dormitory and women's dormi
tory. It is planned to end the cam
paign next June and have the build
ings erected in September of next year,
though work will not begin until $100,
000 is assured.
The new campus has been named
Monteith campus, in honor of Thomas
Montelth, who donated the present
campus, and of his brother, William J.
Monteith, first president of the college.
SUBMARINE DOWN 36 HOURS
Craft Built In California Breaks All
Former Endurance Records.
LONG BEACH, Cal.. June 11. The
submergence record for submarine
boats was broken here today by a lo
cally constructed vessel which came to
the surface at 5 o'clock, after having
been resting on the bottom -of the
ocean off the city for 36 hours. The
six men who made the endurance test
alighted from the submarine when it
was towed in, apparently none the
worse for the long stay under the sur
face of the ocean.
The previous record was 24 hours,
made by the United States Submarine
Octopus in 1907.
The boat which has established the
new submergence record differs from
other types in having gasoline motors,
which by a special exhaust device are
able to run while the vessel is sub
merged without polluting the air for
the crew.
CRUISER BREAKS RECORD
South Dakota Makes 22.13 Knots
for Four Hours on Trial.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., June 11. All the
speed records tor armored cruisers
were broken bj the cruiser South Da
kota, which made 22.13 knots for four
hours In a run ofT port here, the result
of which was officially announced to
day. The cruiser also broke the builders'
record trials. The best previous rec
ord was 21.99 knots.

CHARLESTON. Va.. June 11. War
time In the coal strike regions of West

Senate Investigating committee today.

sawyer, ana Major James I. Pratt,
who was president of the second mili
tary court which took charge of the
strike district. Both told the commit
tee that their proceedings were con
ducted without regard to the civil
laws of the state; that they arrested,
arraigned, tried and convicted offend
ers in the strike zone without recourse
to process of the civil courts and im
posed sentences without regard to the
limitations imposed by the statutes of
West Virginia,
War Time Rales Enforced.
"We considered the entire strike dis
trict was in a state of actual warfare "
said Captain Morgan, "and we acted
according to the procedure of the
United States Army in time of war."
"But the constitution of the state
provides," interjected Attorney Monnet,
for the miners, "that the military shall
be subordinate to the civil power and
no citizen unless engaged in military
service of the state shall be tried or
punished in any military court for any
offense that is cognizable by the civil
courts of the state."
"My understanding was." replied
Captain Morgan, "that during this state
of insurrection which prevailed the
constitution of the state of West Vir
ginia had been suspended by the acts
of these men, who were burning, kill
ing and destroying property."
"You believed the constitution had
been suspended?" demanded Senator
Borah.
IjXtrrmr Measures Defended.
"Yes, sir," replied the military offi
cer; "that is, we believed these men
had suspended the constitution and
that in order to perpetuate the state
of West Virginia and restore the con
stitution we were Justified in using
extreme measures."
Captain Morgan declared that the
military commission believed its au
thority was unlimited under the gen
eral order issued by Governor Glass
cock, which provided the military com
mission "is substituted for the criminal
courts of the district covered by the
martial law proclamation, and all of
fenses against the civil laws, as they
existed prior to the proclamation of
November 15, 1912, shall be regarded as
offenses under the military law. and
In punishment therefor the military
commission can Impose such sentences,
either lighter or heavier than those
Imposed under the civil law, as in their
Judgment the offender may deserve it."
Both Captain Morgan and Major
Pratt asserted that the commission did
not feel itself limited by the statutory
provision regarding punishment for of
fenses and Major Pratt gave several
instances of sentences imposed by the
commission exceeding the statutory
punishment.

JAPS JOIN MOTHERS' CIRCLE
"Madam Butterfly' Hot Satisfied
Alone With Women's Clubs.
SEATTLE. Wash.. June 11. (See
ds1) Here's another milestone in the
march of Madam Butterfly. Her first
step was taken a few weeks ago in the
organization of a Japanese Women's
Club. Now she is going to Join the
Mothers' Congress. Obviously, if will
be no time at all until 'Mrs. Togo" will
have her liege lord wondering what she
will be doing next.
Madam Takahashi voiced the senti
ment of her sisters yesterday at the
executive meeting of the Mothers' Con
gress, held in the Broadway High
School, when in response to an invi
tation from the president, Mrs. C. E.
Bogardus, she gave a brief talk, telling
how glad the Japanese women in the
mothers' circle of the W. C. T. U. would
be to come into the Congress.
Her circle, she said, met every Tues
day to learn to sew, for though sewing
by hand is an old accomplishment of
her sisters at home, the sewing ma
chine has not yet become common in
the land of the cherry bloom. They
were, said Madam Takahashi, "very
eaxnest to learn."

Governor West was here tonight to
look Into the situation. While he ex
pressed himself as regarding the situ
ation as a delicate one, he said the lo
cal peace officers had everything well
In hand.
The mill employes are unorganized
and have as yet presented no formal
demands to the employers. Discontent
over the working hours Is the chief
grievance of the workmen, so they say.
One of their chief complaints is that
they are compelled to work one full
eight-hour shift with no time off.
In speaking of the matters, Gov
ernor West said:
"The situation seems very delicate.
I am not planning any action, but will
remain here until 2:15 o'clock tomor
row morning and study developments.
"I do not believe there Is any need
to call out the militia; in fact I have
not considered doing so. I wanted to
see what the situation was. myself,
and so I came down here. I think the
local people will handle the matter
satisfactorily.

charges of disorderly conduct, there be
ing no city ordinance here against
street speaking. The authorities per
mitted no one to see them.
George Gardner, a mill worker who
was discharged today, was arrested to
night following a threat he made to
blow up the mill. Six' other men were
arrested during the evening for dis
orderly conduct.

NEW YORK, June 11. (Special.)
"The turkey trot and tango, as they

"The dances I saw In London." she
said, "a.e simply copies of the Amer

over there are simply wild about those
dances. They have decisive social func

dansante Is a combination of the tea,
the musical and the dance. They hold
these affairs In the afternoon at large
hotels, and they are wonderfully
patronized."

the amendment, but two-thirds was

SPRINGFIELD. 111., June ii.(Spe.
cial.) The ballot, with some limita
tions, was placed in the hands of I.lu
nols women today, so far as the Leg
islature Is concerned, the issue now
being up to Governor Dunne. The
House today passed Senate bill No 63
popular!- known as the "suffrage
bUl, which had been previously passed
by the State Senate. There had been
a stormy fight, the suffragists once
before during the session having been
defeated and winning only after the
most strenuous exertion. Submission
to the people Is not required.
The bill gives only partial suffrage
Full suffrage was not sought under
the bill, although provision was made
for fighting that battle in another
way. The new law provides that women
may vote for Presidential electors,
members of the State Board of Equali
zation, Clerk of the Appellate Court,
County Collector, County Surveyors,
members of the Board of Assessors!
members of the Board of Review, sani
tary district trustees and for all offi-'
cers of cities, villages and towns, ex
cept police magistrates, and on all
questions or propositions submitted to
vote by the electors of such municipali
ties or political divisions of the state.
Constitutional offices Excluded.
There are excluded from the list the
office of Governor. Lieutenant-Governor,
Attorney-General, State Treas
urer, United States Senator, Represen
tatives In Congress, state Senators,
legislators, circuit, county and probate
judges. States' Attorneys. Sheriffs,
Coroners, police magistrates and all of
ficers named In the constitution of
Illinois.
The effect of the bill will be wide
spread, and the women contend that it
gives them a political leverage that
undoubtedly will result in further ex
tension of the ballot later on, through
the submission of a Constitutional
amendment. Leaders of the suffrage
movement professed themselves as much
pleased with today's vote, which gives
them the largest voting power now
possessed by women in any state east
of the Mississippi River.
hlcago Elections Recast.
In Chicago alone 627,330 women are
empowered to vote in city elections.
The law will change the entire aspect
of Chicago politics. Special ballot
boxes and ballots must be provided by
law. When Judges, clerks and watchers
probably will be appointed. It is esti
mated that the new law will add 395,000
names to registration books of Chicago.
Of the 698,564 men in Chicago entitled
to vote, 440.000 exercised the privilege
at the last election.
"I will sign the bill with great plea
sure," said Governor Dunne tonight,
"unless there should be a well-grounded
objection as to its constitutionality.
This I do not expect. I have favored
woman suffrage for many years, al
though it was not In our platform last
Fall."
ILLINOIS WOMEN JUBILANT
Achievement Called Biggest Thing
in East Since Civil War.
CHICAGO, June 11. Leaders of the
women's suffrage movement In Chicago

from Springfield.
"It is the biggest thing that has
happened east of the Mississippi since
the Civil War," said Mrs. Catherine
Waugh McCulloch, one of the pioneer
workers for equal suffrage in this state.
