MANY HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE Icier & IVank, Olds, Worbnan & King, Get Decisions, Too Liebcs and Emporium Runners T7p. V I'eldenheimer Jewels Win. I-iPman, Wolfe & Co. and W. S. Settle carried off the two grand prizes offered by the bureau of retail merchants of the Chamber of Commerce in the win. dow-decorating contest, which opened Dress-Up week" Monday. And it cost the committee of judges three hours and a half of hard study and comparison among the various windows to settle the award of th prizes in the various classes that were entered in the competition. The grand prize for the heat ?nr effect exemplifying the spirit of uress-up week- went by acclaim of the Judges to Lipman, Wolfe & Co., whose decorations both in the interior and in the block front of show win dows was worked out in a beautifully balanced aDd harmonious "dress-up" Iheme. The award of this prize is a tribute by the judges not only to the firm that won it but to S. M. Moses, the decorator of the firm who worked out and directed the decoration scheme. In the award of the grand prize for the best individual window, there were half a dozen firms, ranging from de partment stores to florist shops, that ran neck and neck in the first report of the judges, and no decision could be given. W. K. Settle Finally Chosen. A sub-committee with full power to set was finally appointed from the general committee of judges to go out and look over the six candidates that seemed tied for the prize. They re turned finally to the headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce at 10:30 with a report In favor of the beautiful window of w. S. Settle, displaying women's apparel in his store in the Pittock block. When it came to the class in boys' clothing and children's-clothing it was decided to eliminate these classes from the competition for ribbons, inasmuch os the firms of Meier & Frank Com pany. Olds. 'Wortman & King and Lin man. Wolfe & Co. had carried all the decisions of the judges in these classes, and all of these firms had already been awarded first prizes in other classes. The judges accordingly eliminated these classes from the list with merely honorable mention for the firms named. A window that attracted especial mention from the judges in addition to first ribbon in its class was A. A. Iiekum's hardware window, full of freak millinery built up out of various familiar articles of hardware after ap proved models of millinery. I.lrhrs and Kmpnrlam Attract. The Liebes fur window, which was among the runners-up for the grand prize on individual window displays, attracted wide attention with one of the finest displays of costly furs that has been shown in the city. Another window that attracted much notice, al though not entered in the competition, was the beautiful display of women's apparel and millinery shown by the Emporium. The jewelry windows were among the most popular windows to the crowds of shoppers that filled the streets. Probably one reason for this was that there were more than $30,000 worth of precious stones displayed in some of them and others showed some of the finest displays of gold and sli ver that have ever been assembled in the city. It wbb the great silver displav of Feldenheimers that won them first place in the jewelry class and made them a formidable competitor for the grand prize. All of the jewelry stores were guarded throughout the evening by de tails of plain-clothesmen to protect them from the danger of "window smashers" who might find the displays too much of a temptation to resist, least Side AYIns Commendation. The East Side was represented in the judges' :ist by the honorable men tion given to v. H. Markell & Co. for their fine shoe display. Chairman J. C. English, of the com mittee in charge of the "Dress-Up week" events, will deliver the blue rib. bona to the prize winners this morn ing, and the shoppers coming down today to profit by the advantages of fered in "Dress-Up week" will be abie to see the windows which have been adjudged the finest, and the decisions of the judges place them on the plane of being not only the finest in the com petition, but probably the finest dressed windows that may be found ht this time in any city on the Coast. THROYGS DANCE ON" PAVKMEX T Sixth Street Is Scene of Animated tlayety for Three Honrs. Though the frost may be on the pumpkin" in other American cities on the same parallel of latitude, the citi zens of Tortland danced in the streets under the mid-October moon Monday night in celebration of the opening of "Dress-Up week." Sixth street was roped off between Washington and Morrison to give two full blocks of smooth pavement for a dance floor, and McKlroy's band was planted on a portable bandstand at the intersection of Alder and Sixth. By 8 o'clock a crowd that would rival the crowds of the merriest nights of the Rose Festival was banked about the ropes waiting for the signal that should give it the freedom of the out-of-doors ballroom. It was nearly as light as day in th enclosure, for there was the blaze of countless dancing electric signs and lights from nearly every window in the stately bluffs of concrete and terra cotta that walled off the canyon of ixth street. And away up. above everything else, was a strip of crisp blue October sky, whose stars struggled valiantly, though hopelessly, to tw-inkle as nobly as the lights in the canyon below. The crowds of people poured cease lessly through all the streets of the business section, eagerly looking over the array of window displays that had been thrown open on this, the first night of "Dress-Up week," but after all had been viewed they would circl3 and sweep, as Inevitably as a bubble to the center of a whirlpool. Into the great mass that was flowing about the enclosure on Sixth street. Then, at 8:30. the band came from Its serenading of the principal business houses of the city, and with a welcom ing shout, hundreds and hundreds of men and women thronged inside the ropes. There was no rowdyism and no roughness. - It was a typical festival crowd, such as one would see on the streets in the Rose Festival celebrations. "On of the best crowds we have ever bad to handle," was tho brief judgment of Police Captain Moore, who nad charge of the lines on this occa sion. Waltz, two-step, and, in rapid suc cession, all of the more modern dances followed one another. Whether the very newest and latest, the "caracapi," from Argentina, was there may not be told, but in all probability, if there were any in the crowd who knew its steps, it was danced with the rest. While the street was filled with the whirling couples of dancers and encore after encore kept the band playing al most every minute, the crowd about the lines did not diminish, for constantly Increasing throngs of people poured in to become spectators or to trip through the lines and join in the dancing. Back of the pedestrians were massed the automobiles, and Alder street in front of The Oregonian and Meier Frank's building was choked with puff ing machines, whose occupants stood up on the cushions to gain a better view and applauded the rollicking music of the band with handclapping and terrific blasts on their auto horns. t :- nt mmmmmmm wmmmmmm L:-.- -. . .-; !Mrs. E. C. Warden, Killed In Auto Accident Saturday IVight. - The dancing continued until nearly 11 o'clock, when the band was dis missed. The great crowd of spectators melted into the crowd of dancers in a twin kling. For perhaps five minutes there was a crush of moving people that filled the street from curb to curb. Then the merrymakers trailed away in smaller groups, hither and thither, and within half an hour the out-door ballroom had settled back into quite the routine appearance of a midnight street. The next special event of the Dress Up week will be the ball at Cotillion Hall, at which some of the results of the "Dress-Up" movement are ex pected to be apparent.

NOTE TO BRITAIN IS FIRM PRESIDENT (JIVES FI.VAL CONSID ERATION TO PROTEST. Vigorous Disapproval of Interference With United States Cargoes Is Contained In Communication. WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. Final con sideration was being given last night by President Wilson to the long note to be sent to Great Britain in a few days voicing the disapproval by the United States of British interference with American trade through the various orders in council. The communication, long delayed be cause the Pres'ident did not wish to mix the American Government's con troversy with Germany with the case against Great Britain, practically is complete. No obstacle to its dispatch is evident now since the submarine dis pute with Berlin is considered virtually settled. Officials guarded with secrecy the contents of the note, but it is known to be firmly vigorous in its dissent from tho British viewpoint. The treat ment by Great Britain of cotton, which has been declared contraband, and the actual operations of the orders in coun cil are discussed at great length. In official quarters it is said that the note is not an academic argument on the principles of the subject, but a pro test which the American Government intends to press constantly in order that modifications of alleged illegal practices may be obtained. For the present the Administration will defer any special representations on the complaint of the Chicago 'pack ers against British confiscation and de tentions. Representatives of the packing in terests called at the Slate Department today seeking information. The de partment so far has received no reply from Great Britain regarding protests that vessels carrying cargoes of packing-house products are discriminated against by the British, authorities. One of these ships, it was recently declared, had actually unloaded its cargo at Co penhagen when the British authorities caused it to reload and proceed to the detention port of Kirkwall under pen alty of confiscation.
