Under the happiest auspices, Queen
' Dorothy entered Into her reign as
ruler of all Rosaria yesterday.
Her arrival at noon marked the
real opening of the annual fiesta of
roses, and her coronation at Laurel
hurst park in the afternoon showed
, how loyal are her subjects, for they
welcomed her to the realm of roses
with warmth of loyalty and enthu
siasm. Crowds marked every event on the
opening day's programme yesterday.
At the auditorium, where the rose
ehow was opened, large numbers at
tended, and this was true of the
dedication of the Festival Center, the
program
ime. there last night and also
tacle. "The Pageant of Roses," '
the spec
at Laurelhurst park at 8 P. M.
Coronation Is Delightful.
Queen Iorothy had the most de
lightful of coronations. Seasoned festival-goers
declared it the most beau
tiful of all eueh exercises in the his
tory of the recurring fete. One of the
big reasons was that the park gave
it a more beautiful setting than it
has ever before had and In that great
amphitheater, on the velvet lawns
under the firs, there will, officials
predicted, be the location of big out
door festival spectacles in future
years.
The queen, escorted by her bevy of
maids of honor, Dorothy Carpenter,
Miriam Shemanski, Helen West, Mary
Gill, Margaret Foster, Leonore Blaes
ing and Mrs. Eric V. Hauser Jr., Gov
ernor Olcott and Acting Mayor Bige
low, and the Royal Rosarians in full
uniform, followed by troops of attend
ants, fairies and dancing girls in ra
diant, many-colored costumes, made a
wonderful picture that will linger
long in the memory of the crowd of
more than 15.000 who saw and ad
mired the line of gaily-dressed girls
descending the steps at the north side
of the park, where massed foliage and
flowers lent a background of won
derful beauty. . ,
Throne Set l In Park.
The royal procession moved to a
small platform in the midst of the
park and there the throne had been
set up for the crowning. Tiny Cath
erine Bredemeier, Gene Satchel .and
Virginia Kenward. most minute ana
charming of the attendants, came
first, with Jane Stearns, Katherine
Power, Flora Bartmuss. Twinkle
Powell and other little girls escorting
the queen and' her maids, after whom
trooped a long procession of dancers.
Queen Dorothy was crowned by
O. W. Mielk-e, president of the Rose
Festival association. The pro
gramme was happily free from
speech-making, there being, instead,
plenty of action in the delightful
dancing of various groups of par
ticipants. v
The Rdyai Rosarians dominated

Provision Made for Force of Xot
Less Than 150,000 Men.
Budget Goes to Conference.
WASHINGTON. D. C June S. The
benate today, rejecting committee pro
visions for a minimum army of 170,000
men, passed the army appropriation
bill carrying 8334, 000.000 and making
provision for an army of not less than
150,000 men. The house had previ
ously provided for 150,000.
Advocates of economy, after a hot
attack on the committee provision for
170,000 men, voted down, 36 to zi. the
committee amendment. By a like ma
jority, the senate yesterday had ac
cepted the 170,000 figure, so that to
day's vote constituted a reversal.
The army budget now goes to con
ference. The bouse bill carried ap
propriations totaling about 814,000,
000 less.
Two democrats. Senators Fletcher,
Florida, and Meyers, Montana, voted
with 30 republicans to support the
military affairs committee. Thirteen
republicans voted with' 23 democrats
against the 170,000 figure. These in
cluded Borah and Gooding, Idaho;
Jones, Washington; Kenyon, Iowa;
McNary and Stanfield, Oregon, and
Norris, Nebraska.
Committee amendments other than
for the pay of enlisted men were ac
cepted and the senate added an ap
propriation of $200,000 to prepare
plans for development of the great
falls of the Potomac, as a source of
hydro-electric power for the city of
Washington.
UNIONS BREAK LOCKOUT
San Francisco Builders' Exchange
Loses Open Shop Fight.
SAX FRANCISCO, CaU June 8.
Ten San Francisco planing mills and
lumber yardfc closed In sympathy
with the builders' exchange lockout,
reopened today on a union basis
without reduction in wages for union
men employed, it was announced
today by P. P. McCarthy, president
of the San Francisco building trades
council.
The exchange started a lockout
more than a month ago because the
union employes of its members re
fused to accept a 7'i per cent wage
reduction decided on by an arbitra
tion board. Last week the exchange
announced that its members would
resume business June 13 on an open-
shop basis.
NEGRO'S 'ArWGOES DOWN
Craft Built for Mission Service in
Africa Sinks.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 8. The
"ark of the church of the living
God," a vessel built by J. E. Lewis,
negro evangelist, with the declared
intention of carrying a Tarty of mis
sionaries to Africa, was lying at the
bottom of Los Angeles harbor today,
having sunk shortly after its launch
ing late last night. The evangelist
and two assistants were thrown over
board when the craft capsized, but
reached shore safely. Lack of bal
last was declared to be the cause of
the trouble. (
Lewis spent three years building
the ark, doing most of his work with
his own hands.
CRAFTS HELD BLAMELESS
Excessive Building Costs Charged I
Against Materials Dealers.
( DENVER, June 8. Responsibility
for excessive building costs rests
upon the building materials dealers
of the country and not on organized
labor, William Spencer, secretary of
the building trades department of tho
American Federation of Labor, de
clared today in his annual report to
the department's convention.
Mr. Spencer urged that the con
tractors require .the building materi
als dealers to enter into agreements
that would guarantee the house
builder against price inflation for the
identical time in the agreement mado
With the workmen.
FAIR WEATHER, FORECAST
Chances Very Good That Italn WHI
Xot Mar Floral Parade.
) "Generally fair" waa as strong a
promise as Weatherman Wells would
hold out last night for the weather
of this, the day of the Rose Festival's
principal parade.
"The chances are very good," he
said, "that it will not rain on the
floral parade; but you know what
happens when they hold floral pa
rades. Cond,finps are somewhat un
settled, but every Indication is that
it will be a day much like this."
The wind will be from the weet,
which fact signifies nothing definite
about the fairness of the weather.

SENATE REFERS ALL OTHERS
A.
D. La&er of Chicago
Made Chairman.
BENSON IS. RETAINED
Admiral Made Junior Member by
Appointment for One Year.
Sew Policy Indicated.
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 8.
Nominations for the seven vacant
places on the shipping board finally
were sent to the senate today by
President Harding.
Failing a three months' search for a
man of practical shipping experience
to head the board, the president gave
the chairmanship to A. D. Lasker, a
Chicago advertising man, who ac
cepted with a pledge to place the
board on a sound business basis and
to seek advice of shipping men gen
e felly.
Three other republicans - E. C.
Plummer of Maine, T. V. O'Connor of
New .York and Meyer Lissner of Cali
fornia and three democrats ex
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
Thompson of Alabama and Rear-Admiral
W. S. Benson, U. S. N., retired,
were nominated for the other places.
Admiral Benson, now serving as board
chairman under an appointment of
President W ilson, becomes, junior
member, having been named for only
one year, while the terms of the
others range up to six.
New Policy Expected.
Inauguration .of a shipping policy
is expected to follojv eenate confir
mation of the new board, whose mem
bers will confer with President Hard
ing before they begin work. Sale of
the war-time merchant fleet, deter
mination of new relations with for
eign shipping lines and final, adjust
ment of the marine strike are borne
problems awaiting solution.
In a statement accepting his ap
pointment Mr. Lasker asked for the
patience and co-operation of private
business.
Incompetence la Fovght.
"It will be the first duty of the
board," he said, "to do those things
necessary to end incompetence and
wake the board a business institu
tion. It may be necessary to tie more
of our ships to the docks. It would
be folly to promise the impossible.
There must be time to prepare the
way to construction and reconstruc
tion. We bespeak the patience and
confidence of the public and con
gress." Scarcely had the nomination of Mr.
Lasker reached the capitol when an
attack on his qualifications was
launched in the J-.ause by Represen-
Uonclurted on rage 2, Column. J.)

President Regarding Words
Attributed to Officer.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 8. Sec
retary Denby instructed Rear-Admiral
Sims today to advise the navy
department immediately by cable as
to whether he was correctly quoted
i in press accounts of an address he
I made to the English-speaking union
at a luncheon in London June 7.
The secretary's actlan was taken
after Senator McCormick, republican,
Illinois, had called on the secretary
to urge disciplinary action against
Admiral Sims because of reference to
the Irish in this country attributed to
the officer in reports of the speech.
Mr. McCormick also called at the j
White House to ask mat tne mane
be brought to President Harding's at
tentlon.
"I haye read with amazement," Sec
retary Denby said in his message to
Admiral Sims, "certain extracts from
a speech purporting to have bee
made by you in addressing the Eng
lish-speaking union." The message
then quoted the press reports of what
Admiral Sims said about Irish in th
United States, "some of them natur
alized and some born there, but non
of them Americans at ail," including
the assertion that "they have th
blood of British and American boys on
their hands for the obstructions 'they
placed in the way of the most effec
tive operation of the allied " naval
forces during the war
"You will Inform the departmen
immediately by cable," Secretary Den
by concluded, "whether or not you
were correctly quoted and made such
statements at the time and place In
question.
Senator McCormick complained for
mally today to President Harding and
Secretary Denby about the address
delivered in London yesterday by
Rear-Admiral Sims, In which he dis
cussed the Irish question. The sena
tor asked Secretary Denby to take
disciplinary measures against the ad
miral. He did not see the president
formally, but asked Secretary Chris
tian to call the address to the atten
tion of the executive.
On leaving the White House Senator
McCormick declared that the admi
ral's address, which was delivered be
fore the English-speaking union, was
"disgusting and un-American.

ADAMS IS NEW CHAIRMAN

Is Made Aide.
1037 MEMBERS IS BASIS
Reduction in Southern Rcprcscnla
tion Is 17 Per Cent and 4 0
Per Cent Since 1912.
WASHINGTON, D. C, ' June 8
Election of John T. Adams of Du
buque, la., as chairman to succeed
Postmaster-General Hays, whose res
ignation was announced, and the
adoption of a new basis of representa
tion at national conventions, result
ing In a further cut in the southern
delegates, marked the meeting today
of the republican national committee.
Mr. Adams, who was vice-chairman,
was succeeded by Ralph E. Williams
of Portland, Or. Mrs. L. G. Woods of
Pittsburg was elected second vice-
chairman, an office created in recog
nition of women membership in the
party.
The change in representation, based
on the republican votes of the last
election, reduced by 23 the number
of delegates accredited from the
southern states to the 1920 conven
tion. Cnt la 17 Per Cent. .
This represents a cut of 17 per
cent and made a total cut of 40 per
cent in the number of delegates from
those states since 1912.
Under the new plan ttfe next con
vention will be made up of 1037 dele
gates, 53 more than the last, unless
there were-great changes in the stale
votes of last fall, on which the cal
culation was made.
The old system allowed for one
delegate from each congressional dis
trict, but under the new' plan a dis
trict must have .cast 2500 republican
votes in the last preceding election
before it nay send a delegate.
To have two district delegates
there must have been cast 10,000 re
publican votes or a republican repre
sentative must have been elected to
congress. Under the former plan
7500 votes gave two delegates.
Plan Offered by Howell.
Provision is also made for the seat
ing- of two. additional delegates at
large from iach state carried at the
last preceding elections by the repub
licans. The plan was submitted by R. B.
Howell of Nebraska, for a subcom
mittee. Us presentation precipitated
a bitter fight by members from 'the
states affected. The principal drive
was by H. L. Johnson, a negro mem
ber from Georgia, and H. L. Remmel
of Arkansas. The report, however,
was approved 35 to 12.
As outlined by Mr. Howell, Ten
nessee is no longer considered a part
of the solid south and received an in
creased representation of two dele
gate as a result of the last election.
when the state was carried by the re
publican national ticket and a repub
lican governor and five of the 10
members of congress were elected.
23 Delegates Are Lost.
The southern states, it was an
nounced, are affected- as follows:
Arkansas, increased 1; Florida, In
creased 2; Georgia, reduced 7; Louis
iana, reduced 3; Mississippi, reduced
8; South Carolina, reduced 7; Texas.
reduced 2; Virginia, increased 1.
The representation of North Caro
lina and Alabama was unchanged, Mr.
Howell 6ald the net result was that
these states, unless changes come in
the voting, would send 144 delegates
instead of 167 in 1920.
Although Mr. Hays said he could
pare no further time to the com
mittee. It drafted him as a member of
the executive committee.
The committee received and referred
o a sub-committee for investigation
resolution to enlarge the national
committee by the addition of one
woman member from each state and
erritory.
The question must be acted on
finally by the national convention,
but leaders, declared that there was
little doubt of a favorable recom
mendation from the committee to the
convention of 1924.
Basis Is Announced.
The basis on which the next conven
tion will be constituted under the
new plan follows:
Four delegates at large from each
state; two additional delegates at
large for each representative at large
in congress from any state; two dele
gates at large for each territory; two
delegates at large from each state
casting a majority of its electoral
votes for the republican presidential
nominee in the last election; one dis
trict delegate from each congres
sional district maintaining a repub
lican district organization and casting
2500 or more votes for any repub
lican presidential elector or repub
lican nominee for congress in the pre
ceding election. One additional dis
trict delegate from each congressional
district casting 10,000 votes or more
for any republican elector or repub
lican congressional nominee in the
preceding election: one alternate dele-

Onc of Xew Co-Rcspondenls Said
to Have Been on Yacht und to
Have Arous-ed Mrs. Leeds.
NEW YORK, June 8. (Special)
Mrs. James A. Stillman wjil furthe
amend the answer to her banker
husband's suit for divorce, it was
announced today, and will name
two more women. This will be done
before the next referee's hearing on
June 15 at Poughkeepsle. Unlike
"Clara" and Florence Leeds, who were
dancers and chorus girls, it was be
lieved one of these women is of high
er social standing. Her name is
"Helen" and it was she. it was said
definitely today, who aroused the
Jealousy of Florence Leeds one time
on Mr. Stillman's yacht.
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers have proof
that she was on board the "Modesty"
one time in the fall of 1920. This was
when Mr. Stillman's yacht was In
New York and not in Florida waters.
One of Mrs. Stillman's lawyers said
today that Floence Leeds became so
jealous when she discovered that
"Helen" had been on the "Modesty"
that she passed all the next day
searching for her and would not be
satisfied when assured by members
of the crew that she was not on board.
"Mrs. Leeds" then accused "Helen" of
having stolen her watch.
Like "Clara," the second woman
named by Mrs. Stillman, the defense
was unaware of "Helen's" last name.
They had affidavits made by detec
tives, however. It was commented
that Florence Leeds, "Clara" and
"Helen" were of the same physical
type and all three, it was said, were
titian haired.
The woman who. besides Helen, will
be named by Mrs. Stillman's attorneys
this week, has not been decided upon
But "Helen" and one other will posi
tively be named.
This will not in any way interfere.
with the hearing at Poughkeepsle for
it was said today that Mr. Brennan
received permission from Justice
Keogh to amend Mrs. Stillman's an
swer, this was so broad as to allow
her to amend It further. Both Mr.
Brennan and Mr. Slilltnan's counsels
have announced there will be no new
delay because of court actions.

Women's Jnrjr 1IMI In Doubt.
The measure In doubt Is the bill
providing for optional Jury duty by
women. This bill came out of Mult
r.omah couitty with a majority In Its
favor of about 500. but returns from
upstate counties so far received have
cut the majority down to 241. Al
the general trend upstate Is aunlnst
the bill and as all of Multnomah coun
ty's favorable majority Is recorded.
the indications are slightly against
the final success of the pleasure.
