HIGHWAY ENTHRALLS
HEW YORK SOCIETY
Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt Is
Member of Motor Party
Over Scenic Route.
RETURN VISIT PROMISED
Prominent Banker Declares Medi
terranean Vistas Are Eclipsed
and All Express Desire to
See Summer Foliage.
Charmed by a trip o'?r the Columbia
Ttiver Highway yesterday. Mrs. Alfred
Ciwynne Vanderbilt. Mr. and Mrs. Amos
Tuck French, Lawrence Perkins, and
Miss Hazel J. Titus, all of New York
City, and members of the smartest set
of Gotham, became enamored of Ore
Bon scenery and resolved to return
here this Summer. They want to see
the same drive bordered by native trees
and shrubs in full leaf and flower.
Newport and other favorite watering
places that usually lure the New York
fashionables will have a hard time to
compete in future with Oregon's scenic
highway into the heart of the Colum
bia Gorge.
Sunset, that came as the party of
visitors were taking dinner at Crown
Point Chalet yesterday, completed the
charm that the day's drive cast over
them. They were all enthusiastic
boosters for Oregon scenery when they
returned to the city last evening.
"It was a perfectly wonderful drive,
and a wonderful stretch of scenery."
&aid Mrs. Vanderbilt. "I have never
een the Columbia River before, but I
am coming back again. I so much
want to come out and see the Portland
ISose Festival, and I hope to do that
this Summer. We all want to see the
Highway again."
Return Visit Planned.
iitrs. Vanderbilt. who is a sister ox
Amos Tuck French, and whose hus
band, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, was
drowned on the Lusitania in May, 1915,
is generally known as Mrs. ' Elsie
French Vanderbilt. She plans to visit
Yellowstone Park this Summer, and on
that trip proposes to steal out to Port
land again and revel in the new-found
ncenery that she explored yesterday.
Her brother, Mr. French, a banker
and director of the Northern Pacific,
with offices at 20 Wall street, is no
less enthusiastic than his sister over
the beauties of the Columbia Gorge.
. 3-fe has long admired the scenery of the
"West, and he voiced his admiration of
the highway in no uncertain terms.
"It is the grandest driveway I ever
taw in my life," said he... "I have
been along the Mediterranean on the
famous French and Italian roads, but
this is on a much gramier scale. We
are all perfectly delighted with it. and
we hope to come back during the Sum
mer. "I was here last June at the Rose
Festival, and recall it as a most pleas
ant experience. There was an utter
absence of any jarring note in the Fes
tival scenes, no drunkenness or any
thing of that sort, such as one would
have seen in an Eastern city at such a
time, and I think it speaks most highly
of the class of citizenship- of a city that
goes in for growing flowers and dis
playing them so charmingly. We all
expect to come to Portland again soon."
Business to Be Avoided.
Further than to say business is good
in the East, and he believes the good
times are spreading West, Mr. French
declined to be interviewed on business,
declaring he was making a. pleasure
trip and wanted to enjoy it as long as
possible.
Mr. French is a member of the New
York Stock Exchange and belongs to
no fewer than 13 of the most exclusive
clubs of New Y'ork City. He is an en
thusiastic sportsman and predicted,
there will be a great development in
the Pacific Northwest in various lines
of sport.
The party is traveling back home
from California in .the private car New
York. They will leave this morning
over the Spokane. Portland & Seattle
sind the Northern Pacific for the East.
They remained aboard the car, which
was parked in the Union Station yarda,
last night.
Arriving here yesterday morning, the
party of visitors were taken about the
city. Directly after lunch they were
taken over the highway as guests of Mr.
and Mrs. A. D. Charlton. John B. Yeon,
roadmaster. was a member of the auto
party over the famous scenic road and
pointed out its interesting features.
Howard and La Velle Charlton also
made the trip. They motored as far as
Multnomah Falls and returned to Crown
Point for dinner that had been pre
pared for them upon telephone order
from the city.
Portland itself proved attractive to
the visitors. They visited the :eading
Mores and said they were astonished
at the completeness of the establish
ments and the fine buildings.

DETECTIVES ARE FOOLED
WOODLAND YOUTHS, WHEN IN
VESTIGATED, PROVE HONEST.
Wire Cars:o of Launch Caases Pertnr
bntionn Among City Sleuths Until
Title la Cleared Up.
Two.youns men, of Woodland, "Wash.,
steered a well - appointed gasoline
launch into Portland harbor Wednes
day morning. Their boat bore & cargo
of ranch produce, consigned to a local
commission merchant, and several coils
of copper wire.
At all times, but particularly since
the silver thaw broke many of the
power and lighting lines, the police
have been on the qui vive for wire that
may not have been properly acquired.
Hence the youthful cruisers from
Woodland were under instant sus
picion. They sold the wire to a Front-street
commission firm, it Is said, at 20 cents
per pound 156 pounds of it. The mer
chant was not wise in the ways of
wire, for he purchased some of the
comparatively valueless steel-copper at
the top price for the pure product.
Six city detectives were assigned to
the case and closed in on the Wood
land youths, who were touring the
town, after disposing of the wire. The
capture was accomplished without the
loss of a single officer.
The young men explained their pos
session of the property in a manner
satisfactory and were released.
Then to ease the sting of chagrin the
detectives went out and arrested two
real wire operators John Callahan
and Carl Evanson with 63 and 29
pounds of contraband copper apiece!
