because of her age, while 5-year-oll
Norma Hyde and Mrs. E. A. Whittier
are considered out" of danger and will
soon recover.
LARGE HOTELS CROWDED WITH
FESTIVAL VISITORS.
Railroads Put On Extra Equipment and
Heavy Increases in Arrivals To
day Are Predicted.
Every train into Portland brought
people from far and near yesterday.
Early tn the day hotels had been taxed
to their capacity. They had to begin
turning away guests who had not made
reservations a week before arriving.
Ne'ufer in the history of crowds attend
ing Rose Festivals heretofore has the
rush been so early and great.
In years before the influx set in
about the first day of the festival.
This year it started two days before,
and there has been a steady increase.
Hotel and railroad men alike say that
the crowds are earlier and larger this
festival. The unusually splendid
weather for the carnival has had much
to do in luring the large number of
visitors, as well as the elaborate pro
gramme that has been arranged.
Every railroad, steam and electric,
yesterday put on extra equipment to
handle the heavy traffic to the city.
The crowds that will pour Into Port
land today will swell the myriads.
They can resort to the outlying hotels.
The big hostelries are already filled
and will likely resort to cots in the
halls and nooks, beginning tonight
probably. All of the interurban lines
have borrowed equipment to take care
of the business expected some 25 per
cent larger than that of any festival
held heretofore.
The festival committee may find it
necessary, if the demand for housing
continues to increase, to take the mat
ter of finding homes for the unaccom
modated in hand today or tomorrow.

MISS STEEVER BEATS MISS WILDET
IX TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Opening Rounds of Anual Tourney at
Philadelphia In Interrupted
by Thunder Storm.
PHILADELPHIA. June 6. The easy
defeat of Miss Edna Wildey, of Plain-
field, N. J., who ranks among the first
three women racquet wieldera of the
country, by Miss Miriam Steever, of
Chicago, was the outstanding feature
of tne opening rounds of the annual
womeu's national lawn tennis champ
ionships tournament on the courts of
the. Philadelphia Cricket Club yester
day. Miss Steever won in straight sets,
6-0. 6-2.
Mrs. Robert Leroy, of the West Side
Tennis Club, was one of the New York
ers, who was eliminated in the first
round, being defeated by Miss Dorothy
Disston, of Philadelphia, 6-1. 6-4.
Mrs. Edward Raymond, of the West
Side Tennis Club, New York, and Mrs.
Barger-Wallach, the Newport veteran,
each won her match today in im
pressive fashion.
The field, although larger than last
year, is not considered as strong,
among the notable absentees being
Miss Mary Browne and Mrs. T. C.
Bundy (nee Miss May Sutton), of the
Calioi'rnia contingent, and Miss Martha
Guthrie, of Pittsburg, who leaped Into
fame by winning a set from Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, the National title-holde in
the semi-final round last year.
Miss Bjurstedt, who added the Penn
sylvania and Eastern states title to
her collection last week, is better this
year than she was last. Under the
rules she does not have to "play
through" the tournament, but in the
opinion of experts no one has appeared
who appears capable of defeating her
in the challenge round.
A thunder storm interrupted play for
half an hour th's afternoon, but despite
this the preliminary round was com'
pleted. nearly all of the first round
disposed of and a good start made on
the men's doubles, substituted this
year for the men's singles, a fixture
of these tournaments for many, seasons.

KING'S JOB ABOUT AS BIG
AS THAT OF BRIDEGROOM
Contrast Made of Attention Paid Muriel and Apparent Ignorance of Peo
ple as to Arrival of Her Consort Personality Wins Interviewer.
BY LEONE CASS BAER. i
DIDJA ever notice how carefully and
skilfully a bridegroom is covered
up in an account of a wedding? You
wade thorugh a column about the
bride and her folks, what her mother
wor&, and who served the ices.
Seven hundred words, all adjectives,
it takes to describe her wedding gown,
her going-away gown, and where she
stood when she threw her bouquet.
Another half column is given over to a(
more or less truthful history of her
relations; a list edited, by the family
in which the Mayflower is played up
and Aunt Myrt, of Sugar Creek, and
Uncle Henery, who objects to collars,
are carefully omitted as "among those
present."
Follows then a half column about
the bride's home, and the decorations,
the bridesmaid's frocks, the ringbearers
and the up-rtsings and down-sittings of
the entire personnel except the bride
groom. Scant Mention Suffices. ,
Away down at the end of the whole
account you spy a line or so to the
effect that "the bridegroom comes
from a well-known pioneer family."
Not a word more. Sometimes if he is
nasty and insists on it mention will
be made that he belongs to the Ad
Club. But his position Is negligible. He
is merely a bit of atmosphere for the
event necessary, but like soup, to be
seen and not heard.
There'd be a great howl go up if
he wasn't there but otherwise he is a
mere detail. Well, that's the way with
Festival Kings. At least it "is with
King Til Taylor-Joy. He sneaked Into
town quietly ounoay evening. ma
been up to Salem with a guest for
the state's bastile and en route back
he and Mrs. Taylor yes there's a Mrs.
Taylor stopped off to King awhile in

our midst. I dropped over to see 'em
yesterday afternoon and found them
in an undecorated bower. Not a rose'
was to be seen save a weary little
bunch a personal friend had sent.
The Queen -had walked on roses,
eaten 'em, slept on a bed of 'em her
rooms look like a garden, you've read
of her smile, her hair, her teeth, the
size of her shoe and her aim in life.
And the King hadn't a rose to his
name.
All Attention for O,oeen.
His eagle-eye and rosy cheeks, his
outdoor bigness and democratic ways,
his Infectious hearty laugh and in
teresting ideas of life in his Western
country were all shut in by the four
walls with no one to see, but his wife
and me. while mobs fell all over each
other and brothers -became foes in
their efforts to see the Queen.
Downstairs in the dining-room they
have a Muriel soup and a Muriel ice
and when she and her attendants came
in the diners peeked and craned and
gulped food in an effort to see. (And
all the time the King was sitting
quietly there. chatting over dinner
with his attractive wife and was
almost killed in the rush to see the
Queen).
He is really very gallant, however.
and has a good-natured big laugh for
everything. "Never worry"' is King
Til-Taylor-Joy's motto and lie bears
every hall-mark of living -up to it. He
confesses that he was a bit diffident
about accepting the job of kinging,
but listened to friends and obliged. He
wouldn't want a. similar position for
a steady vocation, however. "Not for
mine," he says. "I'd rather be Sheriff
of Umatilla County, with my good
friends and pals about me, living no
own happy outdoor Western life, than
be in the boots of any old monarch
who ve-2ionarched." And he means it.
STRIKERS PRESENT

Labor Interests that figure In the
existing strike troubles here, and which
extend along the entire Coast, had their
inning before the board of directors
of the Chamber of Commerce yester
day, representatives of the longshore
men and steamboat workers having
presented their version of the dispute.
In advance of another meeting tenta
tively arranged, no action was taken
by the Chamber.
In the main the directors have be
come fully informed as to the situation,
a meetinir Monday with employers of
the 'deepwater and river fleets having
been productive of a general presen
tation of their side of the case and
vesterdav the union men spoke of tea
tures leading to the walkout and the
position of the men they represent as
to the wage scale and working condi
tions. The discussion yesterday occu
pied about an hour and a half.
Because of the meeting scheduled to
take nlaca at San Francisco today be
tween the executive committee of the
Pacific Coast District International
longshoremen's Association and the
Waterfront Employers' union, wnn
Henry M. White. United States com'
mlssioner of Immigration, who was
ordered there from Seattle by Secre
tary Wilson, of the Department of
Commerce, the feeling at Portland is
that nothing is to be accomplisnea
looking toward a settlement pending
the outcome of the session.
Portland Is Most Interested.
The position of Portland employers
Is unusual because the combat between
unions and employers is principally at
San Francisco and on Puget Sound, few
vessels being here, while this city is
probably more vitally interested in the
general outcome as to whether the
scale ultimately adopted will place
Portland on an equality with the other
harbors in the matter of charges. Port
land is high under the existing tariff,
or rather the one in effect previous
to the strike, and the general feeling
is that this port must make a firm
stand against discrimination should a
settlement be effected.
The steamer Bowdoin discharged 1000
barrels of asphalt - yesterday, part of
It at Alblna dock and the remainder
at Couch-street dock. The scale de
manded had been offered longshore
men to work the ship, but refused, so
Joe Pratt, stevedore for the Parr
McCormack line, assisted by two mates
from the vessel, handled the cargo on
the docks and the sailors hoisted It
from the hold. .A number of longshore
men watched operations in a good-
natured way at both docks and did not
place any obstacles in the path of the
worker.
At the Southern Pacific dock a non
union gang put in the second day load
ing lumber aboard Barge No. 41 for
Alaska and the men were not molested.
The lonshoremen had pickets sta
tioned nearby, pitching horseshoes and
other such nastimrs being indulged in
by the watchers at times to relieve the
monotony.
Strikers Rnsh Crew.
Among the union steam boatmen only
one scrimmage was reported, that hav
ing taken place at Municipal Dock No.
2. at the foot of East Washington
street, where the steamer Joseph Kel
logg was discharging freight at about
3 o clock and several strikers are al
leged to have rushed the crew, but the
crew claims the victory. Capstan bars
and other deck gear in tho hands of
the Kellogg's crew were brought into
plar, and It is said the strikers were
routed from the dock. One of their
number, who gave his name as Bert
usoorne, a fireman, ran into the arms
of Patrolman L. Stone, who escorted
him to the station and his release was
obtained on 85 bail, the charge being
HOXOLTJIiAX FOR ANTIPODES
Liner Goes South A Tier Return!
From Voyage to Vladivostok.
On the completion of her present
vojage, she being now on the way to
Vladivostok with Puget Sound cargo,
the American-Hawaiian steamer Hono
lulan will return to the Washington
harbor and there be turned over to the
Union steamship line for a voyage from
British Columbia to New Zealand or
Australia and return to Honolulu
being redelivered to her owners at the
narDor after wblch she was named.
Whether another engagement then will
be made depends on -changes mean

route.
Charters made last month do not
show an alarming decrease in freights,
as the Japanese steamer Kenyon Maru
formerly the Verona, which is know
here, was fixed by the Canadian Pa
cific to operate for a year between
British Columbia and the Far East at
42s 6d a ton on the deadweight, and
Frank Waterhouse & Co. rechartered
the Japanese steamer Kifunosan Maru
from Hind, Rolnh & Co. at 810.50
ton on the deadweight for one round
trip' and a half, delivery at San Fran
cisco and redelivery at Moji.
STEAMER BOWDOIV GOING EAST
Speculation as to Whether Vessel Is
to Be Sold on Atlantic.
When the steamer Bowdoin, now here
dlshcarglng cargo from San Francisco,
is loaded with lumber her crew expect
her to proceed to Mazatlan as the first
leg of a long journey, for on discharg
ing there it is reported she will pro
ceed to the Canal and gain the Atlan
tic, with Mobile as her objective point.
Later she goes to a coffee port to load
for the return to the Pacific.
Prices have been high for steam
schooner types, not alone among ves
sel owners of Eastern states, but
Scandinavian owners have taken some
of them.
