Something of the spirit of the cru sades, the upsprlnging, militant qual ity, of the early Christianity was seen in the bearing of the thousands upon thousands of Sunday school members who marched singing- through the streets of Portland yesterday in pa triotic and reverent commemoration of the anniversary of Independence day. Not only from within the limits of Portland, but from -all the territory . under the Multnomah County Sunday School Association were gathered the cohorts of little children, young men and maidens, matured men and women and the aged who have grown gray marching under the banner which ap peared thousand-fold in the line of the parade yesterday a blue flag "bearing the cross of Christianity and the motto: "By this sign, conquer." Participants Gather Karly. The participants in the Bible school parade began to gather at the place of formation, on Park street, three hours before the time when the parade was to begin. Wherever the eye might turn there was the tossing of patriotic colors, the .flash of bright bunting and the Incessant motion" of the' crowds of children, who, formed in the van of each section, were waiting in all-con cealed impatience for the procession to move. ... - Fragmentarily the sounds of hymns and Sunday school songs and patriotic melodies, blurred and obliterated at times by the lilt of bands passing to their positions, rose from different parts of the swarpiijvg, divisions. , ' The shrill treble of children's voices. rehearsing their Sunday school class yells or vielng with " some' other "class In declaring themselves to the world, were heard inccssa,ntly Magnitude of Pageant Damu. Out of this seeming confusion, how ever, order was definitely established, and when the van of the procession started down Park street, the divisions of the various Sunday schools swung out of the side streets and dropped into their places with perfect precision. The. full magnitude of the pageant did not dawn, even upon those who had been active In its preparation. until the march was begun. The police department alone seemed to have . formed a real estimate of its full im portance. . Early in the morning the line of march was roped, off, and be fore the parade started patrolmen were stationed, and four motorcycle men were careering back and forth in ad vance of the parade to signal the way clear. . ' Line Two Hours In Passing;. "It's almost a Rose Festival crowd, so far as the number of people along the ropes In the downtown sections are concerned," said Captain Moore, who handled the policing of the parade. The line was fully two hours passing a given point, the estimated number of marchers being between 8000 and 10,000. ' No greater parade. In point of ' numbers, has ever been held in Port land, with the possible exception of the pageant at the Elks' convention last Summer. The grand marshal of the day, A. A. Morse, was not mounted, but walked with ono of his aides, in the front of the line. Following him came th (.Concluded on I'ags 17. MILITANT MAULED BY BRISTOL WOMEN SUFFRAGETTE DROPS SCROLL OX KNEES OF KIXG. Royal Procession Interrupted by Incident but Police Save In truder From Mob. BRISTOL, England. July 4. While the royal procession was on its way to the Agricultural Show, at which the King was. to officiate today, a suf fragette darted from the sidewalk and, getting behind the mounted equerry, reached the King's carriage and dropped a scroll of paper on . his Majesty's knees. ' The equerry, wheeling around, drew his sword ' and struck the woman a light blow. The police then arrested her. The crowd made a rush for the suf fragette, women showing the- greatest eagerness to maul her. One of them struck her with an umbrella and an other seized her "by the hair. The po lice rushed their prisoner away In an automobile to escape the mob. After a short detention at the police station the woman was released. She gave the name of Mary Richardson and her address as the headquarters of the "Women's Social and Political Union. MRS. W. E. DELARM-WEDS Widow of Promoter, Who Died as Federal Fugitive, Now In Europe. SEATTLE, Wash., July 4. (Special.) Almost exactly one year to a day after her husband, Wardner E. DeLarm, financial broker dt this city and pro moter of the gigantic Wahluke project. had met his tragic death at Placerville, Cal., In an obscure logging camp, while in hiding from the Government, Mrs. Sadie E. DeLarm closed her brief widowhood . by marrying Wellington Frank Cllley, and is spending her honeymdon In Europe. At the time of DeLarm's -death his wife was living under an assumed name in Michigan. She went with him from Seattle in February, 1912, as far as California, and there left him. On June 21 news came of his death. The widow asked to have the body shipped East, and identified It when it reached Platts burg, N. Y., for burial. Now comes the news that on June 25, 1913, she married Mr. Cllley at Boston, Mass. An unusual, feature of the mar riage is the announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Cllley would be at home after October 1, at Long Beach, Ca1t in the same state where DeLarm died. - DAY AT GLENDALE MARRED Man Injured When Toy Balloon Hits Lighted Cigar and Home Burns.

WHOLE BATTLEFIELD HUSHED Ten Thousand Hear President Deliver His Address. EXODUS FOR HOME BEGUN Veterans Leaving; at Kate ot Thou; sand (i it Hoar, Though Many Will Remain, as Long as Possible- on Ground." GETTYSBURG, Pa., July 4. The regular Army paid tribute today to the thousands who sleep under the hills of Gettysburg. Somewhere down In the heart of the tented city a bugle sang out in silver sweet call, that wandered over the field where Lee and Meade made history. The big- flag before the headquarters of General Liggett, flash, ing in sudden curves of red apd white and blue, glorious In the sunshine of a perfect July day, came slowly half way down the "shaft. In front of the tent, shoulders squared, figure trim in Summer uniform of white, face toward the flag, the General clicked heels to gether and stood at attention. The guns of the Third Battery burst 'nto salute. Every officer over the length and breadth of that wide field. wery enlisted man turned away from the duties of the moment and faced the flag, heels together,- heads up and eyes alight with the sentiment of the hour. - Canp Unshed to Silence. As the last gun of the 48 sent the echoes clattering about Seminary Ridge and Round Top, there ' was solemn silence the hush of peace." Old veterans who did" not realize, perhaps, exactly what was going on, stood silent under the spell of the universal feel lng that seemed to sweep the field. Even the clatter of pots and pans in the mess, tents was hushed, and the yells of cooks about to dish up the midday meal lowered to whispers. Fof five minutes the camp was quiet. Then the bugle spoke again In notes joyous. The silken flag leaped up the staff to its very pinnacle and the noises that 40,000 men can make resumed their sway, the regular Army's tribute to the dead and to the flag of a reunited Nation. . . - "Veterans Prepare for Going;. That five minutes' silence was prob ably the last formal mark of the semi centennial celebration.

Fire which last night destroyed the plant of the Multnomah Trunk & Bag Company, north of the city limits, near Kenton, caused a loss which, probably will' reach $"136,000, and at 2 o'clock this morning the blaze practi cally had spent its force and the efforts of the firemen to save 6,000,000 feet of lumber in the yards of the company were of little avail. The cause of the blaze is unknown. The" fire started at 11 o'clock, and soon the plant and machinery, valued at $50,000, were wiped out, Iom this point the flames spread to - the ma terial yards and began eating up the lumber, which was valued at $84,000.

Pitman, ex-Boise Flingcr, Arrives ut Trcadwell Just Before Game, AVins, and Is Rewarded. BOISE, Idaho. July 4. (Special.) Highest ' civic honors in the power of Treadwell, Alaska. were given to Ralph Pitman, who pitched ;. for the Boise baseball club in the Western Trl State League until a month ago. No less an honor than being Mayor of Treadwell has been bestowed on the baseball player, and all because of his proficiency in pitching. Until a month ago Pitman was taking his regular turn In the box for Boise, but he was dissatisfied with his berth and one Saturday night he took French leave of the Boise management and was not heard of for a week when it was learned that he was en route to Alaska to play independent ball. He arrived at the thriving mining town :of Treadwell unheralded and un known. A baseball game against that town's hated rival, Juneau, was about to be played. Pitman volunteered his services, showed clippings of Boise papers telling of some good games he had pitched in the Western Trl-Slate League, and his proffer was accepted. Not only did the former BoIsb pitcher defeat Juneau, but lie held that team scoreless In a hard-fought nine-inning game. The citizens of Treadwoll thereupon ell a mass meeting and elected Pit man Mayor. SAN FRANCISCO MAY WIN World Conference Expected to Go to Golden Gate City in 19 15.

KNOLE PARK "MUCH LARGER" Claimant of Scott Millions Haughty in Testifying. BEGGING LETTER ADMITTED Witness Denies She Was Culled "Earthquake" by Servants, but Nickname Locust" Arouses Ouly Amusement. LONDON, July 4. The reappearance) of Lady Saekville, to undergo further cross-examination in the suit known as "the fight for the millions," attracted a fashionable audience today to the probate court. The suit was instituted by the rela tives of the late Sir John Murray Scott, to have pronounced invalid, on account of alleged undue influence, the testa ment by which he left the bulk of his fortune of $5,000,000 to Lady Saekville. Frederick E. Smith, one of the par liamentary Unionist leaJers, who i counsel for the Scott family, questioned Lady Saekville. Sperlnl Influence) Denied. The witness requested permission to make a statement of all the payments Scott had given Knole Park, the coun try residence of the Sackvllles, through her. She said it was impossible to go through the checks. Attorney Smith examined Lady Saek ville at length in regard to the inci dents related by members of the Scott family to show the influence she ex ercised over the testator. Lady Saek ville, however, said the Incidents were grossly exaggerated, and denied she had used any influence with Scott to leave ber any money. As to Sir Benjamin Franklin, phy sician of Sir John Scott, refusing her admittance to Scott's sickroom, witness said Lady Franklin got $25,000 under Scott's will. Witness) Replies Hauttbtlly. "Lady Franklin is not in the samt position as I am," said Lady Saekville haughtily. "She has not such a large house as Knole Park to keep as a trust to the nation." "She is a respectable and kind wo man, though." remarked Attorney Smith Ironically.. "Oh, yes. of course," replied Lady Saekville, "but perhaps you do not know that Knole Park is larger than Hampton Court palace." Referring to a letter in whici; Rev. Mr. Scott had mentioned the Saek ville family as "locusts," the witness said she was rather amused than ' an noyed, but did not think It was a nte letter for a clergyman to write. Lady Sachville denied that she had ever been called "the earthquake" by the servants. That name, she said, had been invented by the Scotts. a Week Thought Enough. Attorney Smith then referred to a letter from Scott to Lady Saekville, in which, he said she should not be hard up with $125 a week for her household and $125 for her other expenses, and he asked whether she had written to Scott that she was hard up. The witness replied that she supposed she must have done so, adding: "I looked on him like a father. Ha was helping my father." She was asked when she had formed tho idea that Scott had "dangled be fore our weary eyes for 10 years" his fortune, a quotation from a letter read In court yesterday. Threats to Cbanse Will Wearisome. "About two years before Scott's death he always wanted to be with us," she replied. "I got so sick of it. you know. You do get sick of it when you are told every day that he is going to change his will." She said she wrote to Scott that It was unfair to promise for 12 years and then change it all, adding: "I say very little, although you treat ed me very unkindly and after all your promises leave me in the lurch. If you have any sense of Justice, you will think about the child. You have al ways given her the hope that every thing was rose-colored. Don't be unjust and unfair." Lady Saekville, after five hours and a half on the -witness stand, was ex cused. . ... - Lord Saekville Tells of Gifts. Lord Saekville then gave evidenco that he had used no undue influence on Sir John Scott and had seen no signs of his wife's doing so. ' He also satd that he approved of his. wife friendship with Scott. Miss Saekville gave similar evidence, saying Scott had told her that Lady Saekville mattered to him' more than anybody else. Lord Saekville said that besides the $125,000 given to his wife. Sir John Scott gave him $85,000 to pur. chase a town residence. Then there was the sum of $190,000 to pay off tha mortgage on Knole Park and $13,000 for the upkeep of a motor car, as well as a few smaller sums when' he was hard up. After other evidence had been giver as to the friendship existing betwees Scott and the Saekville family. th hearing was adjourned till Monday, when Jcounsel will address the court.
