People didn't cheer too much at the
children's parade on Grand avenue yes
terday morning they were too much
overcome by emotion. ..'''
It was an Impressive spectacle, those
000 Innocent boys and girls marching
In proud and dlgnlfiel review before
their parents and elders.
It was and is by far the most appeal
ing: feature of the present Rose Festl
- val of any Rose Festival.
There is more human interest about
the children's, parade than about any
other event of the week. Scarcely ' a
man or woman in Portland but who was
personally interested in at least one
boy or g-lrl In the procession. Every
youngster had his own particular ad
mirers in the crowd.
Children Ioo't See Parents.
Fond parents there were who waited
In line for hours for their own little
"Harry" or "Betty" to pass. And until
"Harry" or "Betty" did pass nothing
else mattered. All other parts of the
parade were as a sort of unnecessary
prelude.
It was seldom that the fathers and
mothers were able to attract atten
tion of their own children. The little
ones were too much absorbed In the
Importance of their own positions.
Yes, it was a great day for the chil
dren. Ne Prises Awarded.
In every particular yesterday's pro
cession surpassed all those that have
gone before. The number of schools
represented and the. nuaiber of chil
dren in line were the greatest in Festi
val history. This was the first time
that the West Side schools participated.
And they, collectively and individually,
made a splendid showing.
No prizes were awarded yesterday.
Honor and glory were equally divided
among them all. Doubtless it is Just
as well. The lot of a judge would have
been one full of terrors. Every depart
ment was so good that a decision would
have been the merest kind of guess
work.
Variety In Dresa Noted.
One element particularly pleasing to
the eye was the wide variation in the
dress, formation and organization of
the several schools. There were no two
ulike. Each presented something dif
lerent. Bach was equally brilliant and
impressive.
The plan of marching alone was uni
form. The same tactics were used by
the various schools in their maneuvers.
They constantly changed step and
shifted position with difficult footwork
well performed. The agility and abil
ity displayed by even the smallest
member in line was quite remarkable.
ltobert Krohn, physical director of
the schools, had general supervision
of the march and for months had drilled
the children in their work for yester
day; but the details of attire, the hard
work in perfecting the little ones in
their steps and the responsibility of
Shewing them appear iu line in good
inarching order belonged to the princi
pals and the Individual teachers.
Q,uecn la Impressed.
"It's the grandest sight I . ever saw."
commented Queen Thelma, who after
riding at the head of the procession,
stopped at Hawthorne avenue to see
the little marchers file past.
Captain J. T. Moore and a squad of
police led the pageant from the start
ing point in Holladay avenue, south on
Uraud avenue to Hawthorne. Captain
Moore has officiated at numerous sim
ilar affairs.
"This parade has all others discount'
d at least twice," was his way of say
ing that it brought out twice as many

lumbia Park Boys of this city, at that
time on a tour of the world. McDon
ald was in the hospital when the fa
mous singer was taken -there and-her

there grgew a friendship that lasted
until the lad died.
The singer caused to be erected over
his grave a stone inscribed: "In Mem
ory of My ' Little American Friend,
George McDonald, "Who Died February
13, 1914, Far Away From Home, From
His Countrywoman, Lillian Nordica."
This is the stone that was brought
to this city to be raised over the grave

Thursday Island.
'UNCROWNED HEAD UNEASY
Queen ' Thelma Loses Diadem in
Crowd, but It Is Found Forsooth." .
In the olden days it-was "uneasy
lies the head - that wears the crown,"
but in Rose Festival days and the
reign of Queen Thelma it is "uneasy
lies the head that . doesn't wear a
crown."
Queen Thelma . lost her crown last
night and didn't know where to find
it, but left alone the crown came home,
like everybody else about 3 G. M. tnls
morning.
Her royal highness was Jostled in
the crowd at the Oaks last night and
the crown and jewels -were lost,
and the queen was, oh, so worried.
She had 'to come away without them.
But the gilded good-luck diadem will
appear in the parades today. Manager
Cordray and ex-Captain of Police Riley
found it and the Jewels after an hour's
search of the deserted Oaks.

The "Uncle Sam of Portland" had
some thrilling experiences soon after

about 1000 feet it encountered a thun

Captain Honeywell tried to shift the
balloon out Of its path, but immediately

WASHINGTON. June 11. Repeal of
Panama Canal tolls .exemption for
American coastwise shipping passed
the Senate tonight by a vote of 50 to
35. The measure now goes back. to the
House, which is expected to accept the
Simmons-Norrls amendment specifical
ly reserving all rights the United
States may have under the Hay-Pauenc
fote treaty.
The passage of the bill after a bitter
struggle that has lasted several months
was regarded tonight as another vie
tory for President Wilson. Although
13 Republicans went to the aid of the
Democrats who voted for the bill on
final passage, the President initiated
the movement in his party for repeal
and it was behind him that many of
the Democrats who voted "aye" lined
up on : the las test.
Approval as - Amended Expected.
There has been no - certain promise
from the White House that the Presi
dent will sign the bill with its quali
fying amendment, but there has been;
no declaration that he will veto it,
and party leaders in the Senate were
practically certain that its approval
as amended by the House will lead to
the last favorable action, by the Presi
dent. .
Eleven Democrats, led ' by Senator
O'Gorman, fought consistently--to-the
end and even an hour before the last
vote was taken they did not abandon
their efforts to amend the bill to meet

CHICAGO. June 11. Three thousand
women cheered the American man as
the greatest blessing to womankind"
at today's meeting of the General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs.
The tribute to the Nation's bread
winners that aroused the applause of
the delegates was delivered by Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker. president of the
Federation.
"My friends." Mrs. Pennybacker
said, "think what a splendid thing It
is for us that we have the club hus
band. Think of the sympathy they
have given us in our work. What a
wonderful blessing to us is the Amer
ican man."
Blow Dealt Snffraaiats.
Although a stinging blow was dealt
them in their battle for recognition by
the Federation, suffrage advocates
were still hopeful of ultimate victory.
The setback came in the unanimous
adoption of the report of the commit
tee on rales, which given to the com
mittee the same arbitrary powers con
ferred on it two years ago at San
Francisco.
Under this rule debate will . not be
permitted on any resolution offered un
til it has been referred to the commit
tee and then reported to the conven
tion. The suffragists, however! after a poll
of the committee, were hopeful of fa
vorable action by that boy.
Suffrage will come up on the floor of
the convention and it will carry, Mrs.
George Bass, a Chicago suffrage leader,
declared.
Illinois) Leader Confident.
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch.
"mother of the Illinois suffrage law,
also expressed confidence that the fed
eration would demand and adopt a suf
frage resolution.
A serious break in the federation is
threatened by the suffrage battle, Mrs.
Pennybacker has received a telegram
from Mrs. Horace Bruck, honorary
president of the Pennsylvania Fed
eration of Women's Clubs, warning
the federation that if it admits political
clubs to full membership there would
be an immediate break in the National
organization, caused by the withdrawal
of the opponents of such action.
There are 1716 delegates entitled to
vote at the convention and the suf
fragists claim a majority of these. Il
linois alone has 297 delegates and the
other suffrage states are said to be
well represented.
Committee Declared Favorable.
The suffragists declare that a poll
of the six members of the resolutions
committee shows four of them In favor
of the indorsement of suffrage. The
least they expect Is that a minority
report of the resolutions committee
will throw the whole question on the
floor.
A large number of routine reports
were presented and adopted, includ
ing one on membership by Mrs. Frank
White, of Valley City, N. D.. who said
that the general federation had gained
32.685 members in the last two years.
Mrs. Hugh. Reld Griffin brought
greetings from Paris and Mrs. John
Leckle from London. Mrs. Leckie's
sprightly remarks greatly amused the
audience.
"In the United States," she said, "we
pay much attention to the privileges
of our servants; in London we pay
none, but the English get the better
service. Young women in the United
States have greater social freedom; in
England they go nowhere without a.
chaperon. They are chaperoned to
dances, for instance, but' at English
dances there are rest periods at which
the young women and young men go
out alone and they have to ring a bell
when the music starts to get them
back."
Servant Problem Illustrated.
Mrs. Leckle Illustrated the English
servant problem with the following
advertisement, which she said was
soberly printed In the Times:
"A good cook is wanted she is of
fered a magnificent view from the
kitchen window overlooking main thor
oughfare, with constant arrests, small
acts, ambulance calls and other inter
esting events at all hours of the day
and evening."
Women Serve on Jury.
ASHLAND. Or., June 1L (Special.)
What is pronounced by the District
Attorney to be the first instance of
women serving on a jury in Southern
Oregon occurred at Rogue River, in
this county, early in the week. The
case was a civil one in Justice's Court.
The Jury was composed -of three women
and three men. The suit was a minor
one, but. nevertheless, involved a num
ber of legal entanglements. A verdict
was rendered for the plaintiff inside
of bait an hour.
