Thus, having given due and proper
credit to the orientalism of the
visitors:
The sun had not even rlen when
the first platoon of guides was -sum
moned from sleep and ordered to the

6:45 A. M., when the nobles from Orak
temple, Hammond, Ind., rolled . into
Portland, until 10 P. M., train after
train, or one, two or three cars on
regular trains, kept the reception
committee on the hum.
As the 13 specials pulled in, the
bands, patrols and other members of
each party alighted. The band lined
up and, playing lilting airs, proceeded
to the vacant block opposite the de
pot where Al Kader'a patrol, in pa
rade formation, awaited them and
escorted them to headquarters.
Scarcely had they registered and
been quartered than band after band
waked Portland from its wonted Sun
day calm. - Four bands played set en
gagements, the others wandered joy
ously over the streets.

PARIS, June 20. (Special Cable.)
Ambassador Jusserand will return
p his post In Washington at the end
of his leave of absence, which he
asked for. This assurance is from
the French foreign office in reply to
a report in the Paris edition of an
American paper that Jusserand might
not return to Washington after his
vacation.
The French government, according
to the foreign .office, has full confi

charges recently made in the French
press that the ambassador has
aroused resentment in certain quar
ters of America by coming out too
openly in favor of President Wilson's
policies. which. the ambassador's
political enemies contend, have lost
prestige since the armistice.

First the band swung into a few
selections and when the band got tired
the drum corps took up the white

songs of every variety.
Almas from Washington. D. C, had

RULES FOR WOMEN NEXT
Changes so as to Establish Defi

Be Recommended.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. A con
test over the seating of James A.
Reed. United States senator from
Missouri, as a delegate - and recom
mendations for a complete change in
party law so as to establish definite
ly the status of women in the party
organization, probably will come be
fore . the democratic national com
mlttee in its meeting here next Fri
day preparatory to the national con
vention, executives of the committee-
announced here today.
It was announced also that Attor
ney-General Palmer will leave Wash
ington for San Francisco tomorrow
and that United States Senator Glaas,
prospective chairman of the conven
tion resolutions committee, will be
here Wednesday. Governor Edwards
of New Jersey was expected to ar
rive Friday or Saturday.
Reed Restored by District.
The Reed contest possibility de
veloped today when it was learned
that he had been restored as a dele
gate at a convention of fifth congres
sional district delegates in Missouri
yesterday after his name had been
thrown out and his place declared
vacant by a state convention. The
state convention call held that the
question Is one of jurisdiction betweeu
the state and district convention
groups.
Up to yesterday the only contest
possibility involved the 28 Georgia
faction, headed by United States Sen
ator Hoke Smith and Tom Watson. On
the result of this contest also will de
pend the right of Clark He well, old
est member ln point of service on
the national committee, to be i
named to the post. Howell is for
Palmer. The Smith-Watson faction Is
advancing W. C. Verenn, who was
named to the committee in a state
convention which was bolted by the
Palmer adherents who maintained
that Howell should continue.
It was pointed out that Attorney
General Palmer, who :s a member of
the national committe, could act as
his own counsel in this contest if he
cared to do so.
Reed Ag-alnst Some Policies.
Senator Reed's antagonism toward
certain policies of the administration
will make the expected contest in his
case one of tremendous importance,
according to leaders here. There are
36 delegates from Missouri.
T-he recommendations to establish
the definite status of women in the
party still were in the formative stage
today, but it was expected that they

WASHINGTON. June 20. In antici
pation of a busy week of conferences.
Senator Harding, republican presiden
tial nominee, today received no call
ers, but spent the day resting.
Senator Harding tomorrow will
meet Chairman Hays and members
of the sub-committee of the repub
lican national committee to fix a date
for his official notification and to
discuss his campaign.
It is expected that a committee will
be named tomorrow to work ut plans
lor tne notification ceremony.
Another important matter likely to
be determined, it was said, would be
the appointment of an executive com
mittee consisting of members of the
republican national committee, to
take active charge of the campaign.
Owing to the important part the
women have in this year's campaign,
the senator's friends said it was cer
tain some of the members of the ex
ecutive committee would be women.
Present plans call for a committee
not to exceed 15 members.
It became known tonight that Harry
M. Daugherty of Columbus, O., Sena
tor Harding's campaign manager prior
to the Chicago convention, will re
linquish his duties as soon as the ex
ecutive committee takes charge, but
will continue to be a close personal
adviser to the Ohio senator during the
campaign. Mr.- Daugherty is not a
member of the national committee.
When he took charge of the primary
campaign, it was said be expressed
the desire that if Senator Harding
was nominated, hfc would not be bur
dened with carrying on the national
campaign.
Announcement was made that the
conference between Senator Harding
and ex-Senator Beveridge of Indiana
would be held Tuesday, while that
with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Jr.
would be held either on the same or
the following day.
The senator hopes to confer this
week with representatives of busi
ness, organized labor, transportation
nd industrial enterprises before he
writes his acceptance speech.
