He looked "cool as a cucumber" beneath- his clean new Panama as he stepped from the car and received the greetings of the perspiring disciples of Jefferson.

"I did. say that the- Stars and Stripes stood for law and order in this Nation," he continued. "I referred to the symbolism of the emblem, and said that it was the only flag that we should have In our land. I said that if an engineer, running a train, saw a red nag ahead, he would know that It meant danger, and that It was time to apply the brakes."

"I have had no report from the Ad miral of the fleet on the matter as yet," he said. mayor joenn, or Seattle, was a guest of the Rainier Club at the ban quet at which Secretary Daniels spoke, and welcomed the Secretary to the city. The Mayor took exception to the way in which the Times "covered" the sec retary's speech, and issued an order forbidding the paper to Issue either Saturday or Sunday. With the aid of an injunction and a restraining order obtained from the ' Superior Court of Seattle, the Times was able to override the Mayor's order, and Issued both days.

His dramatic 3000-mile dash across the continent from Silver City, N. -M., to Providence, R. I., where Dr. Fried mann was then holding his only New England clinic, was sensational.

He was a member of the Union, Harvard and City Clubs of New York; of the Metro politan and Chevy Chase Clubs of Washington, and of the Loyal Legion and the Am'erican Bar Association.

(Spe cial.) When seen at an early hour this morning: aboard a Southern Pa cific train. Secretary Daniels said he cared nothing about any memorial the Seattle Socialists might send to Presi dent Wilson, but that he could not dis cuss the matter until informed by the President. The Secretary said he wanted. It made clear that his remarks at Seattle la his toast to the American flag; did not refer to a particular class but to any class who might Insult the flag. "I still maintain the same feelings I had when I made that speech and I still Insist no man Is so great that he has a right to insult the American flag," said Mr. Daniels with emphasis. SEATTLE, Wash., July 20. Respon sibility for the riots Friday night, in which the headquarters of the So cialists and the Industrial Workers of the World were sacked and the furni ture burned in the streets by civilians, led by sailors from the Pacific reserve fleet, was placed on Secretary of the Navy Daniels in a memorial to Presi dent .Wilson adopted today by the rad ical wing of the Socialist party.

The memorial denounces Secretary Daniels, for his speech at the' Rainier Club Thursday night. In which he made a brief reference to patriotism and de nounced the red flag and its support ers. ... Flag Desecration Denied. The memorial sets forth that the So cialists party has never advocated vi olence and that the Socialists have "never advocated, done, attempted or even remotely dreamed of any act of desecration to the flag of the United States or any emblem or insignia thereof." , "Moreover," continues the- memorial, "we submit that the chief way in which the National emblem is desecrated In this and other cities of the Union today Is by cloaking of rascality and ty rannical abuses of the aspiring poor within its folds. In short, making a lie of Its symbolism. We call attention, Mr. President, to the saying of Dr. Johnson, 'Patriotism is the last ref uge of the scoundrel We have stead fastly and consistently insisted that the Issue toward which our activities (Concluded on Page 3. ) FEW MINUTES IN PORTLAND OREGON, MONDAY, JULY INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

NICARAGUAN PLAN WILL BE OPPOSED Bryan-Wilson Policy Stirs Discussion. LITTLE NATION WANTS LOANS Acquiescence Based on Finan cial Considerations. DEBT TO BE SUPERVISED Administration Would Like to See Principle Applied to Other Cen tral American Countries, Capital Believes. WASHINGTON. -July 20. Secretary Bryan's plan for the extension of the protecting wing of the United States over Nicaragua broached to the foreign relations committee of the Senate .yes terday, with the consent and approval of President Wilson, has become the absorbing topic of diplomatic and Con gressional consideration. Members of the Senate evinco a growing conviction that the principle to be applied to Nicaragua is one that the Wilson Administration would be glad to see extended to the other Cen tral American Republics. The original Nicaraguan treaty has been the sub ject of open discussion among Sena tors. This compact did not go further. however, than to guarantee the United States exclusive canal rights and a naval base site, in exchange - for a payment of $3,000,000 in gold. Opposition la Developed. The latter project, to extend a virtual protectorate over Nicaragua, has as sumed the character of an international policy which members of the Senate are discussing with emphatic expressions of opinion. It is believed that Senators Bacon, Clarke of Arkansas, and some other influential members of the for eign relations committee will take an attitude of: opposition, toward the BryanWiIson plan; w'hlle ' Senators O'Gorman, Burton and several others are known to favor many of its es sential points. , Secretary Bryan . has not proposed. It is understood, that the United States shall assume or guarantee the debts of Nicaragua. The desire of Nicaragua for control of its customs resources by the Tjnited States, so that it could se cure loans to refund Its pressing debts, has been known for some time and met the opposition of the Senate foreign relations committee when it came be fore that body In the form of definite treaty agreement. f ' Definite Policy Outlined. Secretary Bryan's plan calls for a definite statement of policy that would guarantee Nicaragua's Independence, would guarantee the control by the United States, of that country's deal ings with foreign nations and would put Into definite terms the recognized principles of the Monroe doctrine, pro hibiting foreign nations from securing foothold on the American continent. It Is understood, however, that the only agreement on the question of the International finances of Nicaragua will be embraced In that part of the treaty by which Nicaragua would bind her self not to "assume or contract any public debt," In the discharge of which the ordinary revenues of the nation.

Crowd of Fifty Picks Fight With Detectives to Help Deception and Leader Escapes. LONDON, July 20. Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, again has succeeded In outwitting the police. It was thought she had been arrested last night, but it was another woman. impersonating .Mrs. Pankhurst, whom the . police captured in a taxicab and took to Scotland Tard. Then they dis covered the mistake and liberated their prisoner. At first the whole affair was consid ered a hoax, but it developed into -an apparently well-laid scheme whereby Mrs. Pankhurst could escape from her flat by another passage while her Im personator was luring away the police. Late last night a woman emerged from the militant leader's flat. She walked feebly and was assisted to a taxicab. The detectives who had guarded the building day and night since Mrs. Pankhurst escaped after the rioting at the Woman's Political and Social Union Julv 10 immediatMv i-nn- cluded that Mrs. Pankhurst was at tempting to flee. They jumped Into the cab as It was driving off and or dered the driver to proceed to Scot land Yard. Before thev reached tJiMr destination, they lifted the veil and discovered thein prisoner was a woman unknown to them. Fifty men and women, including sev eral stout navvies, had gathered at the entrance as the veiled woman descended the steps. Immediately there was a clash between the police and women. Two detectives managed to cling to the cab. After the taxi had rounded the corner the crowd scattered. Within half an hour the detectives reappeared and resumed their investment of the premises. Meanwhile, however, the flat was un guarded and it began to dawn on the police that probably they had been hoodwinked. Many mail boxes In London on h provincial cities were damaged last nignt by suffragettes. BOMBS THROWN IN LISBON Police Frustrate Organized Plot and Capture Explosives by Basketful. LISBON, July 20.

Grant Dies Before Her Husband Does, Her Son Will Inherit Only Part She Is Joint Manager, SAN DIEGO, July 20. (Special.) It was because TJ. S.

It became known this afternoon, however, when the bridegroom and his bride left here for San Francisco on the steamer Yale, en route for the Antipodes on the liner Aorangi," that three days after the marriage license was issued Mrs. Will Grant visited a firm of attorneys who have been act ing for the bride and there ordered the drawing up of an agreement, whereby most of Mr. Grant's fortune, estimated by his friends and business associates at more than $3,000,000. be came virtually the property of the wo man who was formerly Mrs. Will and still more formerly Mrs. Frederick Elms, and whose first husband la still living near Los Angeles. ' Toung Stepson Provided For. By the terms of the agreement, as reported today, Mrs. Grant will adni.1-. lster the huge estate; lOt'-mrmarv w.s.. her husband, and will Inherit it should she survive him, a strong probability, as she is only 35 years old, while Mr. Grant is past 61. In addition it is said that the agreement provides for the son of Mrs. Grant by her marriage with Elms, a youth now at a San Diego mil itary school preparing for examina tions to West Point. Mr. Grant also promises to use his Influence toward getting Fred Elms an appointment to the Military Academy. The large estate left by the first Mrs. Grant remains untouched by the agree ment, but the document provides that shall Mrs. Grant die before her hus band, does, young Elms shall inherit a part of the money given his mother. The rest of the Grant millions, how ever, will revert to the children by the first wife. Chaffee Grant Dlngnsted. When asked regarding the agree ment and the marriage of his father tonight, Chaffee Grant said: "Please keep me out of all this. I " am disgusted with the whole business. I won't tell you what my plans are, or whether I have any." An incident of the dinner and recep tion last night, which was attended by only 16 persons, although covers had been laid for 65, was the serenade given Mrs. Grant by former admirers. A party of seven secured the services of a band and from the top of motor bus played under the windows.

Mexico's demon strations of friendship are . pleasing, but embarrassing to Japan. It is feared here that they might be mis understood in the United States and affect the friendly relations with that country. The Japanese newspapers are cha grined at the outcome of the California negotiations, but express gratification that Mexico, unlike the United States, welcomes Japanese .emigrants. They point out,' however, that anything In the nature of an alliance between Japan and Mexico would be impossiDle, as it would undoubtedly awaken sus picion that Japan was fostering belli cose designs. y
