THE SUNDAY OREG02JIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 12, 1904.
BATTLE OF ROSES
Picturesque Bombardment at
-the Annual Show.
JUDGES AWARD THE PRIZES
Floats Elaborately Decorated and,
jRose-Covered Traps and Tally
hos Make a Handsome Dis
play In the Parades.
X early 2000 persons, many of them wom
en and girls, dressed In cool, swell Sum
mer gowns, lent their presence to the clos
ing event of the show given yesterday
afternoon and evening, on Multnomah
Field, by the Portland Rose Society. There
were lots of real roses on view In the
rose pavilion, hut these were nearly all
discounted by the rosy-cheeked Portland
girls, who thronged the grandstand. Sol
omon In all his glory was not attired like
one of these. The rose pavilion took sec
ond piece for once, and nearly everybody
was actively interested in the display of
saddle horses and rose-decorated traps,
drags and tallybos. Every competitor
was on parade In front of the grandstand,
and was welcomed with round after round
of applause.
A surprise In the line of original decora
tion was a display of a Japanese rick
shaw, hauled by three little boys, who
wore neither shoes nor stockings, but
loosely fitting dark suits, and on their
heads were the immense straw hats
usually worn by Chinese gardeners. In
the rickshaw was a good looking girl,
Naomi Swett, made up to represent a
Japanese lady, and so perfect was the
picture that she seemed to have stepped
out of a page of "The Geisha" or "Mi
kado." The rlchshaw represented the Lit
tle Art Shop, and made quite a pleasing
hit from many points of view, particularly
the masculine.
But one of the big hits was that of the
haywagon of the Portland Fruit and
Flower Mission, carrying Mrs. Rounsvllle,
Mrs. Brook. Mrs. Cahalln and Mrs. Burk-
hardt, and Misses Harris, Kleaman, Salo
mon, Rau, Bridges, Cahalln, O'Connor,
Koshland, Beck and Taubenhelmer. The
float was decorated by the mlselon mem
bers, and made an attractive picture, with
roses and other flowers scattered over it.
It was easily seen from any part of the
grounds, and when it passed In review in
front of the Judges, the girls had the keen
wit and good taste to almost smother the
occupants of some of the front seats with
the flowers they threw. They landed the
first prize. B. K. Loeb, a traveling man
from Helena, Mont., entered the competi
tion for double teams almost at the last
minute, and carried off the first prize, for
there was no one to oppose him. His
horses were elaborately decorated with
rose chains, and his guests were: Mrs.
Nat Kaufman, of Whatcom, Wash.; Mrs.
Blumenthal, of Nevada; Mrs. R. Roblson
and Miss B. Loeb.
First Prize for Floats.
The employes of the Meier-Frank Com
pany won the first prize for floats, and
made a most artistic display, probably one
of the best on the grounds, because of its
masslveness and beauty of floral detail.
Tho four horses were decorated with ro3e
chains, and helped to take the prize by
their quiet, docile behavior. A few days
ago, the employes of the Meier-Frank
Company had a meeting and determined
to enter for the float display, and on stat
ing their wishes to Julius L. Meier, he
lent his aid and gave them valuable Ideas
in the way of decoration. Yesterday Mr.
Meier engaged the services of 12 expert
decorators, and they worked hard all
morning. In the meantime the employes
of tho house had taken up a collection
among themselves to buy roses, and when
the time arrived for decorating the dis
play of flowers was a very attractive one.
Tho consequence was, when the float
swung Into position in front of the judges,
it drew delightful applause from the
crowd, and so many admirers clustered
around the float that policemen had to
keep order.
Hill Boys Make Fine Display.
Tho boys of tho Hill Military Academy
made a gallant display In their tally-ho,
which was a mass of roses. Dr. J. W.
Hill handled the reins and the 13 boys
lost no time In throwing roses out by
the handful among the crowd. To get
from the Hill Military Academy, at
Twenty-fourth and Marshall streets, to
Multnomah field, the party had to pass
under several trolley wires, and several
of the wires were temporarily removed
by the kindness of the Portland General
Electric Company, to allow the passage
of the big tally-ho.
St. Mary's Girls Win Prize.
The St. Mary's Academy girls made an
elaborate display with their floats, and
the nine little girls dressed In white and
the roses on every side of them, evident
ly won tho Judges' hearts, for their re
ward was a first prize. The Mount Tabor
ladies were represented by a trap drawn
by two rose-decorated horses, while little
Edith Robertson, dressed in pink, stood
under a tall liberty bell of roses, In the
drag. This, exhibit was deservedly ap
plauded, and won a special prizo for the
most attractive feature. In pony carts,
Marjorie and Thelma Reed were drawn
by two ponies. Prince and Fannie, while
n little colt, on which was seated a
stuffed monkey, walked sedately behind
the cart. In single traps, Mrs. Tilzer
and Miss Durkheimer made a fine ap
pearance, their horse and carriage being
tastefully decorated. Tho display of
saddlehorses was not so large as could
have been expected from a city where
horseback riding has rapidly sprung into
favor. One of the horseback riders that
won favor was little Miss Leadbetter, ac
companied by her father. Two little
people dressed in dainty Japanese cos
tume were Roswell H. Dosch and his sis
ter. Marguerite Dosch, and they, too,
were winners. They looked like pilgrims
from the Land of the Peach Blossom.

B. S. A. Cadets Drill.
The cadets from the Bishop Scott
Academy made a smart, soldtar-like ap
pearance in their white helmets and dark
uniforms. The boys gave a pleasing
military drill, but did not enter any
competition.
The name of the winner of tho first
prize, a silver loving cup, for the best
25 Caroline Testout roses, should have
been given as Mrs. Mary J. Graham, of
the Boys and Girls' Aid Society.

dentials. The rose show closed last
night about 10 " o'clock" with everybody
connected with it, tired but happy. It
has been a pleasant, social and instruc
tive event and is another step in the di
rection, of making Portland the rose rlty

LET JUSTICE BE BONE

wffiTr.ivn. June 11. fTo the Editor.')
In all tills newspaper talk of law and
order. It Is easily noticed not a tning is
said condemnatory of the high-handed
lawlessness and violence on tne part oi
mine-owners, nor the vicious acts of the
militia. In truth, hero applys the saying,
tv.c irtne- r-nn da no wrontr" as far as
capital and Its worshipers are concerned.
There Is no worse aespousm Bnown in
Russia than that of the arbitrary law-de-Mt

plainer than tnat iney mieno. 10 carry oui
the fiat of their will by any means. The
accusation of the miners, that It was the
Citizens' Alliance that perpetrated the
dynamite outrage at Independence, has
every likelihood of probability of truth.
Men who have done as they have done
will stop at nothing to further their end;
and could they make use of those few as
was done so as to stir up an animosity
and hate by which they could wreck and
ruin the union miners and their sympa
thizers, there Is no doubt they would do
Certainly they have shown lawlessness
and ill-will enougn to mane it easuy Be
lievable. What do they care for the
miners as men? Nothing! In somewhat
similar cases, destruction has been done,
tvio Kin mo laid on the strikers, so as
to work up prejudice and feeling against
them. I believe this the "case now.

to it are posted In several places in the

travelers lying over from one train to

tlons and perhaps greater effectiveness.
"Get together" is the keynote of the let
ter, which reads as follows:
PORTLAND. June 11. (To the Editor.
Portland is amply supplied with commer
cial bodies and kindred associations. For
a number of years I have contributed my
snare toward tne maintenance or tnese or
ganizations. From a recent investigation
I find them all doing what they can to
bring people to Oregon. I also find that no
one of them Is adequately prepared for
properly entertaining the newcomer at
hand and impressing him with the facts of
our state. No one of them is in a position
to offer the stranger the greeting and show
mm tne varied products oi Oregon that
one receives at the hands of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce or the Cal
ifornia Promotion Committee In San Fran
cisco.
In tho Chamber of Commerce we find a
strong commercial body. In the Commer
cial Club we find one of the best clubs on
this Coast. At the Chamber of Commerce
headquarters we find an exhibit and also
one at the Oregon Information Bureau
Neither of these is much visited. Through
the efforts of President Cake, the" Commer
cial Club recently secured Mr. Tom Rich
ardson, who Is doing excellent work. In
the official monthly- of the Chamber of
Commerce, I have noticed an item calling
the attention or its memoers to bring in
any suggestions they may have. Inas
much as this is a suggestion to all the
commercial bodies, I take this method of
maklntr mine a ubllc one. and know it
reflects the opinion of more Portland peo
ple than myself.
since tne unamoer ot commerce nas
turned over Its publicity work to Tom
Richardson, and is subscribing $100 per
month ror carrying on tnis worK. tms is
the first and best start in the right dlrec
tlon for the plan I have to suggest. I be
lieve the exnimt or tne unamoer or com
merce In the Mohawk building should
likewise be turned over to Mr. Richardson.
I further believe the exhibit of the Oregon
Information Bureau in the Union Depot
should also be placed under Mr. Rich
ardson's charge. I believe there should be
a central headquarters for this exhibit.
and that it should be a part of the promo
tion work which should court the greatest
of all publicity work for Oregon. Have all
strangers visit it the visitors to Portland
are Portland's best advertisers. Call this
work to be done under the direction of
Mr. Richardson by some name that Is in
dlcative of his work and by a name that
shall be readily understood. I suggest, the
Oregon Promotion Bureau. I also suggest
the logical headquarters for the exhibit
to be the large auditorium on the second
floor of the Chamber of Commerce build
ing. I suggest the Chamber of Commerce
have its headquarters there.
Then we would have the Chamber of
Commerce, the executive body, the Com
mercial Club, the social body, the Oregon
Promotion Bureau, the publicity depart
ment, all sheltered under the same roof.
How handy and less confusing this would
be for all concerned, it is tne way tne
Chamber of Commerce at Denver,
nnd the Board of Trade at Colum
hns. O.. are operated. Tho bringing
of these forces to work together
would speak much ror our city and every
stranger would say Portland is the City
of Progress,. as we wish him to feel,
wviiif this Is only a suggestion. I feel
I have a right to make It as a member of
the above-mentioned bodies, and I feel
I am expressing the sentiments of more
thnn one Portland business man. While
my name appears herewith. I wish merely
to have this letter appear In The Orego
nlan as merely coming from a member of
them alL di.BK.
r-haViAT- of Commerce. Commercial Club.
P. S. Something should be done right
away If Portland expects to get any ben
efit from the American Mining Congress
in August, and tne otners tnat are to ioi
low thereafter.
At present the industrial department of
the Commercial Club Is apparently doing
more for the publicity of Oregon than all
the other commercial organizations p.ut
together. The publicity work of the
Chamber of Commerce has been turned
over to the department under Mr. Rich
ardson. Yesterday his office force sent
out copies of the circular, "Oregon," and
other Oregon literature, to every resident
and traveling passenger agent, of all the
American railroads. The mail mora than
filled two two-bushel baskets.
The fact that the two principal exhibits
of the .state's resources are . so widely
scattered has frequently been deplored.

HTTRDER OR SUICIDE?
Juryman Says Verdict In J. C. Conn
Case Is Supported by Facts.
SILVER LAKE. Or.. June 1. 19M. (To
the Editor.) The "Weekly Oregonlan of
May 12 published an article headed "Reign
oi x error, Daring Defiance of Law In
Lake County," etc, which reflects severe
ly upon the citizens of Silver Lake, and
contains a number- of false statements.
The writer states that McKune's sheep
were killed only "ten or 12 miles from
his (J. C. Conn's) store." The fact Is the
distance was at least 50 miles. "He (Conn)
had sold the ammunition and the guns
that killed the sheep." That is a broad
assertion, to say the least. Mr. Conn's
clerk Informs me that at nb time within
the past year has there been one-half the
amount- of cartridges' In the store that
were found where the sheep- were killed.
The reference to the Coroner's Jury is
the part to which I particularly take ex
ception. The correspondent says "certain
circumstances connected with his (J. C.
Conn's) death lead to the strong suspicion
that he was murdered."
Being one of the Jury I beg leave to dif
fer. There was not a particle of evidence
to show that he was murdered. On the
contrary every circumstance showed that
J. C. Conn took his own life. Mr. Vena
tor, the Assistant District Attorney, made
a most searching examination of all the
witnesses and he was unable to find a sin
gle fact or circumstance that would point
to murder. "The Coroner's Jury that gave
the verdict was made up entirely of cat
tlemen." I presume he means to insinuate
that the cattlemen would try to shield
the guilty parties if possible. Here,
where the jurymen are well known.
this base Insinuation needs no re
futation. In fact thero were but two
men on the Jury who own any cat
tle. Clarence Harris, of Summer Lake.
who keeps all his cattle in pasture and has
no interest In the range, and myself, who
own land in Silver Lake Valley, and keep
what few cattle I have In the pasture,
and like Mr. Harris have no Interest what
ever in tho outside range.
The verdict "was entirely unsatisfactory
to Mr. Conn's friends, who do not hesi
tate to assert that politics Influenced the
verdict." If Mr. Conn's friends are not
satisfied with the verdict they have no
one to blame but themselves. Lafe Conn
was present at the inquest and assisted
In the examination of the witnesses, as
was also his brothers, Virgil and George,
and It they knew of any evidence that
would have caused- a different verdict they
should have Introduced it. The evidence
clearly and beyond any reasonable doubt
showed suicide. That politics had any
thing to do with the case Is too absurd to
refer to. Politics was not? mentioned.
Three of the Jury were Republicans and
three were Democrats.
Another statement, "there was no pow
der burn to show that the weapon had
been held close to the body." This state-,
ment Is absolutely false, as the testimony
of the two examining physicians, which"
Is a matter of record, will show. The en
tire Jury who viewed the remains will
also attest the fact that the clothing above
both wounds was badly powder burned,
although thfr body had lain In the rain
and snow for over a month. One ball had
gone through the body and been imbedded
In the ground, where It was found. It
exactly fitted the revolver which lay by
his side. The revolver was Identified be
yond doubt to be the property of J. C.
Conn.
The evidence all showed that Mr. Conn
came to his death by his own hands, and
there was not a single circumstance to
Justify the sensational story of your cor
respondent that he was foully murdered.
Respectfully. E. K. HENDERSON
WHAT A WOMAN'S EXCHANGE IS
Purpose and Conduct of the One Es
tablished in Portland.
More than one Inquiry has come to the
management asking what a woman's ex
change Is, its purpose, how conducted, for
whose benefit, etc To answer briefly, a
woman's exchange Is an Industrial enter
prise, a place where women who have
made something with their needles offer It
for sale, and where other women who
need handiwork buy. The Exchange at
1S3 Tenth street, near Alder, Is conducted
by the Portland "Woman's "Onion, whose
president Is Mrs. H. L. Pittock. A small
commission Is charged to those who place
their work on sale.
Why does the. the "Woman's Union fos
ter the Exchange. Strictly on altruistic
grounds. Its spirit and its practice Is to
encourage the self-respecting working
woman and to provide a market for such
useful and ornamental articles as she can
make at home, relieve her of the unpleas
ant task of finding a customer and the
embarrassment of barter. "Let her have
the fruit of her hands, is their motto
But needlework Is not all. Food Is now
a marked feature. Any number of house
keepers wish to buy home-made "bread
baked by known cleanly cooks, also cakes
rolls, salads, sandwiches, etc, and this
business has grown to considerable pro
portions. The home-cooked foods arc a
specialty for the luncheon served dally
from 12 till 2.
It should be stated that the "Woman's
Exchange is not yet self-sustaining. The
commissions are too small, almost noml
nal: still the Institution Is growing, and
those in charge feel much encouraged to
keep on with the work. They ask the
co-operation of all well-disposed house
keepers, who In maRing'purcbases of nee
dlework and prepared food would prefer
directly to aid reliable working women
whose products are to be depended on.

MERRILL HAD NO LEASE
JUDGE CLELAND DECIDES IN
FAVOR OF MRS. BAIN BRIDGE.
Latter, However, Is Held Liable for
Mechanics' Liens Filed Against
the Building.
Fred T. Merrill did not obtain a verbal
lease for two years of the property on
Sixth near Washington, long occupied by
him as a bicycle store, from Mrs. Carrie
Balnbridge. Judge Cleland so decided yes
terday. Mrs. Balnbridge several months
ago sold the property to S. Morton Cohn
for S95.000. and Merrill alleged that a short
time before the sale was effected Mrs.
Ealnbridgo .promised to give mm a two
years lease.
Judge .Cleland held tnat tne circum
stances were on the side of the woman,
ara returned 'Uridines in her favor and S.
Morton Cohn, who was also a defendant in
the suit
Merrill commenced to build a theater on
tho nronertv. and when the work was
stoDbed a number of mechanics' Hens
were filed, amounting to about $1100. Mrs.
Balnbridge "failed to post notices n me
property warning contractors tnai: sne
would not be responsible for Hens, and
the court eonseauently decided against her
as to the liens on statutory grounds. The
building erected on the ground by Aierriu
Is worth enough to pay off the liens.
In deciding the case. Judge Cleland said
in part:
"Merrill had been renUng the premises
from month to month for several years,
and wished to obtain a lease, and wrote
repeatedly to Mrs. Balnbridge to that ef
fect About March 26 Mrs. Balnbridge
gave J. F. Boothe an option to sell the
property,- and Cohn was willing to rent or
lease lt- When Merrill heard that the
property was" to be sold he told Bobthe
that he would go. to Ban Francisco, to .see
Mrs. Balnbridge about a lease. Boothe
Informed her of the proposed visit, and
she telegraphed batk that she would not
interfere with the option. Merrill had an
Interview wUh Mrs. Balnbridge, and he
claimed that she gave him a contract for
two years outright. He telegraphed so to
Boothe the same day, and also orderefl
his agents In this city to go ahead with
the Improvements. On the same, day Mrs.
Balnbridge. telegraphed to Boothe, denying
that she had entered Into any such con
tract, as the option was still outstanding,
and shri would not enter Into any agree
ment until It expired,
"It Is a remarkable circumstance that
both- parUes should send telegrams to
Boothe the same day, one affirming and
one denying the existence of a contract.
The, contest lies on this point: Mrs. Baln
bridge came to Portland and the sale of
the property to Cohn was consummated.
The sole question for the court to deter
mine la whether the plaintiff has sub
stantiating proof of a lease. The court is
of the opinion that the plaintiff, has not
sustained his claim and has failed to es
tablish a case. The suit is therefore dis
missed." Concerning the liens. Judge Cleland said
Mrs. Balnbridge was in Portland arid
knew the Improvements were being made,
and took no stcus to avoid liability.
Merrill is still In possession of the prop
erty, and says he is advised by his attor
ney that In that respect the case Is Just
where it started, and that Cohn will have
to sue to get him out. Merrill further
states that he will appeal to the Supreme
Court for a-final decision.
the State Circuit Court, and also asked
for an order enjoining him from molest
ing her, which Judge George granted.
Mrs. Rosin In her complaint alleges
that her husband has beaten her bru
tally on numerous occasions recently,
and threatened to take her life. They
have a home In Lincoln Park Addition,
which she says she paid for with money
which she earned doing laundry work.
Charles X Schnabak appears as attor
ney for Mrs. Rosin.
