J. A. Carrey In "Parent."
While the Festival Center was the
Idea of J. A. Currey, president of the
Portland Rose Society, there assmbled
to assist in its consummation a wealth
of sympathetic artistic talent. Lovers
of the rose came from every part of
the city to assist in the celebration
of the graces of the queenly blossom
and the success of this one of the
many new features of the 1915 festival
was assured early.
The shady two-block section of
Sixth street between Yamhill and Sal
mon streets was transformed into an
actual garden with trellised walls on
which clambered growing vines and
against the white tracery of which the
dark green of garden shrubbery made
a pleasant contrast.
Japanese lanterns were hung all
over the garden and a big flag made
of electric bulbs was suspended over
the north gateway.
New Rose la Exhibited.
At the entrance to the garden was
the booth of Father George Schoener,
the "Oregon rose wizard." Sixty-five
of his newest and choicest budded va
rieties were on display, as well as lav
ish vases of cut blooms of the older
varieties, from his garden at Brooks.
Father Schoener, whose new rose, the
"Jesse A. Currey," was christened by
Queen Thelma Wednesday, achieves
many of his best results by polleniza
tion. There is no work in English on
this method of rose-breeding and
Father Schoener is engaged In writing
one which will combine the ideas of
European authorities with his own.
The Laurelhurst booth was a pink,
white and green combination, even the
shades of the electric lights being se
lected for their harmonious effect. The
roses, of nearly all varieties now
grown in Portland, were tastefully ar
ranged in baskets.
The Mount Scott display was distin
guished chiefly for the large number
of strong and beautiful blooms which
it contained. t
Boulevard Is Reproduced.
Bancroft Heights had one of the
novel booths of the center. Pink
blooms predominate and the distin
guishing feature was a miniature Ter
williger boulevard, with automobiles
speeding along.
The Jonesmora.-n people combined
thrift and taste in their booth. A
colored relief map of the district
formed the "ground," from which
many handsome single blooms rose in
individual vases.
A touch of "faery fancy" made the
North Portland, or Peninsula, booth
different from all others. Against a
background of wild huckleberry and
crimson ramblers, many of the finest
blossoms In the center were shown. In
the foreground was a little crimson
chariot driven by a smiling "kewpie."
The gauzy ribbons claspcj by his tiny
fingers extended to the wings of a
flock of Buddha butterflies, fluttering
ahead.
Woodlawn's booth showed the Inter
state bridge, constructed of crimson
ramblers. The south approach was
placarded "Union Avenue." In the fore
ground were basket bouquets and sin
gle blossoms in vases.
Ivy Used With Effect.
A pleasing effect was obtained in
the St. Johns booth with a combina
tion of ivy, cedar and wild peas as a
background and a great variety of
blossoms massed In front.
The Oregon Sweet Pea Society had
one of the most artistic booths In the
center. ro attempt was made to com
pete with the roses. Rather, the
sweet peas, in their daintiest tints
were shown in delightful contrast.
Eastmoreland and Westmoreland, the
Reed College districts, while they are
young in the business of rose-growing,
compared to Portland Heights and the
other pioneer neighborhoods, made a
splendid showing. The booth was dec
orated with boughs of copper-beeches
set freely in the. background and the
bench mantled with mosses and box
wood foliage to give the effect of
woads.
Tabor Heights, embracing the district
from East Fifty-flfth street to the sum
mit of Mount Tabor, had as its floral
piece de resistance a large American
tiag worked out in blossoms. Roses,
red and white, made the stripes. Each
star was a "Mrs. Saunders" daisy, with
a blue Weld of larkspurs. H. W. Pretty
man, with 154 varieties of roses, in
cluding 84 varieties of imported Irish
blooms and 12 gold medal winners, pro
vided the greater portion of the ex
hibit. Sellwood Exhibit Distinctive.
Sellwood had an exhibit which caused
the thousands who passed through the
Center daily to pause a little longer,
perhaps, than at some of the other
booths, for there Is a real little lake
in its center, with goldfish and pond
lilies. Soft mosses made tha banks.
The roses were gracefully arranged in
.hanging baskets. On some of them
butterflies had paused in flight. Helio
trope and other potted flowers bordered
the foreground.
Irvington had a good variety of roses,
arranged against a background of oak
leaves and crimson ramblers.
Irvington Park enthusiasts had pro
vided one of the most beautiful set
tings in the Center for their display.
By the use of tissue paper the exterior
of a stucco-concrete bungalow was
simulated. The roses were arranged on
the "lawn" and in window boxes. Many
of them were perfect single blossoms,
shown in slender tube vases.
Rose City Park had a display that
showed a wide and expert cultivation
of the rose. The display was banked
in greenery and an electric flash sign
blinked the name of the district.
Fountain Proves Attraction.
Montavilla, with a background of
vine maple, a foreground , of potted
plants in full flower and majhy hand
some roses in the center, bad a snowing
distinguished both for variety and
quality. At either corner of the bdbth
were great clusters of crimson ram
blers and their pink-and-white cousin.
A miniature fountain, giving a grace
ful bronze nymph a generous shower
baxh, was the central feature of. the
Portland Heights booth. Wild huckle
berry, vine maple, crimson ramblers
and carrot ferns in the background.
The roses, from some of the oldest gar
dens in Portland, were of the kind that
win blue ribbons, perhaps the most
perfect blooms being Frau Karl
Druschkis.
White and orange was the color
scheme consistently followed in the of
fering of Willamette Heights. A hand
some bunch of the Frau Karl Druschkis
had the place of honor. Its snowy
whiteness was in contrast to the rich.
golden poppies and daisies in the back
ground. The Willamette River was
shown, with a cigar-shaped log raft
tugged along by a steamer. There were
ships at anchor, and in the background
rose the snowy cone of Mount Hood.
East Portland Praised.
What was declared by the Judges,
with concurrence of the hosts of rose
fanciers, to be the most comprehensive
showing of roses in the Center, was by
East Portland. It was strictly a rose
exhibit, and was pre-e- -inently suc
cessful. Among the commercial florists who
contributed to making the Center one
of the most attractive features of the
Festival were Zimmerman Bros, and
Martin & Forbes, who had charge of
the placing of the displays; Rahn &
Herbert, who had an American pennant
of growing plants in bloom; Clarke
Bros., who had a showing of ferns,
palms and scarlet geraniums; the Swiss
Floral Company, which featured its new
purple petunia, "Elks' Pride" ; H. E.
Weed, of the Beaver Nursery, who
showed shrubs and hydrangeas; Wilson
& Crout, with their heliotrope, dwarf
pines and cannas, and J. Pilkington,
who lent all the larger shrubbery that
turned a city street into a garden.
Mr. Currey, as director of the Center,
was aided by W. H. McLean, N. B. Pike,
R. H. Thomas and H. J. Biaesing.

ROME, June 12. Almost all of Italy
was quiet today following the rioting
which has been in progress since the
recent declaration of a general strike.
Railway communication, except in a
few instances, was normal. Reports
that a state of siege had been pro
claimed were denied. It is said that
even in the districts where the gravest
disorders occurred tnere had been no
recourse to martial law.
Ancona since the outbreak there last
Saturday has been calm under military
and police surveillance. Mobs of an
archists, profiting by the scarcity of
troops in the city, sacked the Consti
tutional Club in Ravenna and destroyed
autograph portraits of King Victor
Emmanuel and Queen Helena.
The City of Forli experienced vir
tually the same kind of outbreak as
Ravenna. At Naples hoodlums attempt
ed to dominate several quarters of the
town and stoned and fired on the sol
diers, who, however, repulsed them.
In the rioting everywhere there have
been numerous casualties on both sides.

10-STORY FALL KILLS
E. C. Cheasty Drops Out of
- Seattle Hotel Window.
DIZZINESS IS HELD CAUSE
Park Commissioner and Business
Man Subject to Spells at Heights
and Friends Say Affairs Are in
Best of Financial Condition.
SEATTLE. Wash., June ' H. (Spe
cial.) Edward C. Cheasty, member of
the Board of Park Commissioners,
alumnus of the University of Washing
ton and pioneer business man of Seattle,
was killed by a fall from the tenth
floor of the New Washington Hotel at
2:45 o'clock this afternoon. His body
struck the roof wnicn extends to the
rear of the building and covers the first
three floors.
Cheasty's room was on the tenth floor
on the east side of the hotel. No one
saw him tumble from the window, but,
as he dropped past the sixth floor, E.
H. Wilson, a guest from Alaska, saw
the body falling through t.he air. Wil
son ran to his window and saw the
body strike the third-floor roof.
"It did not move after It fell." he
said. Wilson immediately notified the
hotel officials and investigation re
vealed that it was Cheasty, who has
been a guest of the establishment for
some time.
Dr. P. V. Von Fuhl and several others
were immediately summoned and the
body was removed to a room in the ho
tel. Dr. Von Puhl declared that death
had been instantaneous.
Cheasty had been subject to dizzy
spells and had planned to submit to
an operation soon. Friends say the
merchant had been optimistic about
his business affairs and generally ap
peared to be cheerfuL They cannot be
lieve that he took his own Ufa and
are inclined to think that he may have
bad an attack of one of those dizzy
spells and may have been sitting- in
the window when ho fell. The win
dow sills in the hotel are so high from
the floor that he could not have fallen
unless this was the case. Employes
of the hotel found a chair against the
door of the room in such a way as to
prevent entrance with a pass key.
Mr. Cheasty was born near Port
Townsend about 4 8 years ago. He be
gan business in Seattle in 1888 and
since that time had been prominent In
the promotion of public movements.

of Jovial Humor.

nary of Mad Midsummer
Night's Freaks and Fancies.
Finis, the Festival!
The fabric of fantasy woven over
four days' celebration blazed out glori
ously in the electric parade last night,
and Its ashes whirled down in flutter
ing confetti over the heads of the last
rushing throng of merrymakers.
Impatient to began the fun In the
streets the crowds sagged in upon the
rear of the electric pageant all along
the route so that it was with difficulty
that the police could hold them back
from surrounding and stopping the
progress of the last floats. Everyone
was in a good humor, but it was sim
ply more than human spirits, keyed up
by the brilliancy of the spectacle and
the anticipation of the confetti battle
to como, could endure to wait until the
parade had passed.
As soon as there was the slightest
opening, they boiled Into the street in
a yelling, dancing, thoroughly happy
mob hundreds, thousands of them.
Confetti File in Whirls.
Many dashed over from Morrison
street to Washington to try if they
might get a second glimpse of the pa
geant, but the great mass of the peo
ple became abandoned to the revelry
in the streets. Confetti venders were
everywhere, buyers never for a moment
lacking.
Whin's of confetti flew everywhere
as round the line of march progressed
the festival madness that followed the
passing of the parade. Morrison 'and
Washington streets were muffled In
scattered confetti until the footfalls of
the crowds on the streets rang dully,
as though over a coat of new-fallen
snow.
The great arches on Third street
leaped one by one into light after the
passing of the procession and along
the "Great Light Way" stormed a mass
of merrymakers as excited and as en
thusiastic as that which swirled in the
heart of the upper business section.
Center Hears Yells.
The Festival center on Sixth and
Yamhill was packed with a solid mass
of people bidding farewell, amid pranks
and noise, to this especial feature of
the Festival.
War whoops, shrill as ever were ut
tered upon the old Indian trails, gath
ered yet another throng In the plaza
blocks. Here the Indians who had par
ticipated in the parade staged a war
dance as barbaric as if they had been
redmen born, instead of simply painted
up citizens who in ordinary life quietly
went about a thousand and one work
aday bits of service In tho city.
The grandstands in the central part
of the city filled with people almost
as rapidly as they emptied after the
parade; people who wanted to see the
excitement In the strets without par
ticipating in it and people who were
weary of standing on the curb since
early in the evening and wanted only
to sit down and rest.
Crowd Drowns Sounds.
In the throngs after about 11:30 two
Influences became evident. There was
the movement of those whose principal
desire was to catch- a car home, and
those who were still eager to "play
lust a little longer" before the fes
tival time was really past.
On the deserted boxes and benches
at street intersections elderly people
sat patiently looking on at the storm
of excitement about them and waiting
for cars to come.. Automobiles nosed
their way snorting and braying through
the crowds, which parted and closed
again after them and left the street
apparently as full of people as before.
Hundreds of streetcars, their rumble
and clang drowned in the blare of
horns and Jangle of bells, rolled down
the streets, each licking up Its full
share of the crowd, and still the throng
seemed unabated.
Rowdyism was seldom apparent. The
humor of the crowd was a wholesome
give-and-take" humor. t
Girls screaming in voices high
pitched with excitement hurled con
fetti In the faces of passing people or
crammed it down the necks of good-
natured, grinning policemen. Colls of
serpentine whirled overhead and
masses of the brightly colored paper
clogged on the feet and ankles as one
went along the sidewalk.
Motley Kun Is Found.
Crowds of boys ran about every
where jangling on all manner of noise
making devices, and In the crowd
mingled, to add to the fun. the many
clowns who had participated in the pa
rade in costume grotesque.
Bands which had played in the pa
rade consolidated and, marching 150
strong, passed through the principal
streets. The lilt of the music was al
ready In the toes of the people and In
an instant Portland was dancing. Any
body danced with everybody in the
streets, ragging merrily to the music,
under drift of confetti and in the roar
of the yelling crowd.
Impromptu stunts were organized
and pulled off with enthusiasm. At
any time on any street a couple might
find themselves the center of a happy
go-lucky "ring around the rosy" that
would materialize out of the crowd and
whirl away into it again as if by
magic.
Fragmentary serpentine dances were
organized and trailed here and there
over the street, picking up dozens of
dancers, who stayed with tho gamo un
til some fresh attraction called them
out of line.
While the streetcars ran to capacity
and automobiles carried thousands of
other people away, so dense was the
mass in the heart of the city that it
was loirg past midnight before the con.
gestion was relieved and. Indeed, half
the crowd was quite willing to stay
on the streets in the mill of merry
making.
Grills were filled with people who
carried the celebration from the streets
and Inside as well as without the Fes
tival spirit reigned completely.
Memories of past endings of Rose
Festivals dimmed in the Joyful whirl
of tho present revolution, in which the
realm of Thelma, Queen of Rosaria.
was swept away to make place for the
everyday life today that must follow
the playtime
LARGE CROWDS AUK ORDERLY
Captain Moore Says People Realized
They Were on Good Behavior.
Crowds estimated by Captain Moore,
of the police department, as twice as
large as any he had ever seen on Port
land streets were held under control
over nearly four miles of lines by 120
patrolmen and a corps of sergeants.
Police Captains Inskeep and Circle,
with Captain Moore, were in command.
"The crowds took care of them
selves," said Captain Moore after the
parade. "They did not need policing
other than to be told where to stop
and when. Vf to a few minutes before
the parade left Twenty-third and
Washington streets. Morrison street
and Washington street were full of
dancing, happy people. Officials of th
parade became alarmed over their pres- .
ence, fearing no room would ba held
for the floats.
"When tho automobile in which I
was riding rounded into Morrison
street from Washington at Nineteenth,
the street was clear to the curb linea
The crowds drew back to the ropes
without urging. They seemed to rea
lize that they were on their good be
havior and the patrolmen were
swamped.
"I received no complaints anywhere
along the line of march. Everything
was orderly. There were but three ar
rests made and they were forced when
rowdies created disturbances requir
ing police Intervention.
"Tho men have been under forced
steam all week and are tired out. They
deserve great credit for tho manner
in which crowds have been handled.
Tho department has received no com
plaints from citizens, although the men
have been tried to tho utmost."

Harlem Citizens Become Excited
When Satchel Explodes.
NEW YORK, May 29. Harlem. In
the vicinity of Oae Hundred and Thirty-third
street and Amsterdam avenue,
experienced an exciting few minutes a
few days' ago when a rapid-fire, series
of explosions startled everyone In the
neighborhood and brought policemen
running.
But tho bluecoats who elbowed their
way through the crowds didn't find any
dead or wounded gangsters lying in
the street; In fact, there weren't any
casualties.
A young man carrying a fair-sized
satchel was walking west at an easy
gait on One Hundred and Thirty-third

charge Guard, as Requested.
DOUGLAS, Ariz.. June 12. General
Alvarado. accompanied by Urbalejo, war
chief of the xaqul Indians in the con
stitutionalist army, left the constitu
tionalist camp in front of Guaymas to
go to Hermosillo, where they arrived
Thursday morning, it is reported here.
Immediately they went to the gov
ernor's palace and held a conference
with Governor Maytorena, whom they
vainly endeavored to persuade to dis
charge his palace guard and come out
in the open as if unafraid, Jt is said.
Maytorena absolutely refused to . lis
ten to them, It is said, declaring that
he believed his life was endangered,
that he was legally elected governor
of Sonora and Intended to hold the
palace.
Both Alvarado and TJrbalejo, the lat
ter until recently a strong supporter of
Maytorena, left Hermosillo thoroughly
disgusted with the governor's attitude,
it Is asserted.
Constitutionalists in Agua Prleta gen
erally praise Carranza's attitude in the
affair and say they are willing to abide
by Minister Bonlllas' decision. Private
expression among leaders favors the
opinion that Bonillas will remove May
torena and place a military governor
in control.
