STORY OF BATTLES TOLD TO SENATORS Attack from Armored Train' Described. COMMITTEE IS ASTOUNDED Woman Tells of Hiding Chil dren in Chimney Corner. MOTHER HERSELF IS SHOT West Virginia Miners Saj They "Were Terrorized by Behavior of Guards Special Agents Had Orders to Shoot, CHARLESTON. June 14. About a sin gle battle In the coal strike on the Paint and Cabin creeKS centered to day's Inquiry by th Senate committee investigating the coal mine strike. Al most all day the committee heard tes timony about the attack on Holly Grove, a strikers' camp, from an armored t rain run up Into the strike district on February 7. The committee was as tounded at the testimony of Lee Cal vin, an ex-mine guard, one of the men In the armored train when the strikers' camp was fired on. Cisco TSstep, a miner, was killed, and Mrs. Annie Hall was wounded. Calvin, called by the attorneys for the miners, told a sensational story of the Holly Grove attack. After relat ing that he had been a "chief guard" on Cabin Creek, and had left the dis trict because of the shooting there, he said that Sheriff Hill and Qulnn Mor ton, a mine operator, had met him in Charleston, and prevailed on him to Join a party going up Paint Creek in the armored train. Mai'fatne Gnnii Kept Bus?. "There were 10 or 12 men in the car attached to the train," said Calvin, "and when we got just above Paint Creek Junction, all of them began getting their rifles. They tried to give me a rifle, but I told them I had no shooting to do. The brakeman came through the train arid turned down the lights. He told us not to raise the windows, but to shoot right through the win dows. 1 was leaning out of an open window, and as we came up to Holly Grove I saw a stream of fire start out of the baggage car just ahead, where the machine guns were mounted. The stream kept up as we went through Holly Grove. "As we passed I saw three or four flashes of fire from the tents." Invaders Klrst to Shoot. " Were there any shots from the tents before the shooting began from the train?" asked Attorney Belcher, for the t n 1 n e rs. "I didn't see any." said the witness. "I just heard the engine whistle blow and the shooting from the train be gan." The witness said that Quinn Morton, one of the operators, was on the train. M'hen the train had passed the miners' I'amp at Holly Grove on its way to Mucklow, he said. Mr. Morton came running back through the car. "What did he say?" asked Belcher. "He said, 'Back up the train and we will give them another round.' He was talking to the Sheriff, and T'm not Ftire. but I think the Sheriff told hin something abou t there being wome n sml children up in those tents and he w ould not shoot." At this statement. Senator Martine, of New Jersey, a Imost leaped from his chair. Mnrtlne'e Remarks Protested. "What sort of a man is this man Qulnn Morton?" he shouted. "Ts he an ordinary American citizen that could order such a thing?" The attorneys for the coal operators were on their feet in a moment and i Concluded on Page 3. x I 7 ' CITBIST REEW OF A EEK - I EMPEROR HAILED AS "PEACE PRINCE" JUBILEE IX FFLL SWOXG ALL OVER GER5UXY. President Wilson Cables Felicita tions and Expressions of Per sonal Good Will. BKRL1N, June 14. The Jubilee fes tivities in connection with the comple tion tomorrow of the 25th year of Em peror William's reign are getting in full swing throughout the Empire. The Berlin newspapers prin t columns of dispatches today regarding celebrations being held in the cities of Germany and abroad. Amnesties have been granted by the sovereigns of the various German states and endowments amounting to millions of dollars have been be stowed on philanthropic institutions. The general emphasis laid on the peaceful character of the German Em peror and his reign Is the striking feature in a year of a billion-mark military bill. This was summed up in a speech made by President Johannes Kaempf at a commemorative session today of the Reichstag, which was at tended by the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg, and all the Ministers. The speaker referred to Emperor William as the "peace prince," who, ha-ing In his hand the mightiest in strument of war, used it, not to pluck martial laurels, but to preserve the peace of the Germans and the world. WASHINGTON. June 14. In recogni tion of the 25th anniversary of accession of Emperor William to the German throne. President Wilson today sent the Emperor the following message: "In the sincere hope that a long continuance of your majesty's peaceful reign may bring the great German peo ple increased blessing, I offer to your majesty the cordial felicitations of the Government and people of the United States on this 36th anniversary of your majesty's accession and my personal good wishes for your majesty's wel fare." SALMON RUN TO BE BIG When Columbia Waters Fall Can neries Will Be Kept Busy. Prospects for a big run of salmon as soon as th Columbia waters sub side a little have been noted by fish ermen at the mouth of the river. So far, few have ventured far up stream, no farther, in fact, than Sand Island, but adventurous boatmen who have dared to venture upon the bar have been drawing in rich hauls at every drift. Even time-seasoned fisher folk, who are slow to see any cheerful prospects, now admit that everything looks fa vorable for big business when the freshet goes down. The canneries are already working good-sized crews, with plenty of fish arriving. "RED" INVADES CHAMBER Neapolitan Anarchist in Guise of Priest Arrested. ROME. June 14. Francesco Cocuzza, a Neapolitan Anarchist, was arrested in the Italian Chamber of Deputies to day after having gained admittance in the disguise of a priest. The Anarchist twice before had sicceeded in entering the chamber in 1906 and 1911, and on the latter occasion in sulted Premier Glolitto before he was takn into custody. Cocuzza said he wanted to renew his acquaintance with Premier Giolltto and that he had disguised himself in an attempt to avoid arrest.

ILLEGAL ACTS ARE DENIED: Reciprocity Said to Have Cost Havemeyer $750,000. HILL LAWYER ON STAND Railroad Sj stem Declared to Have Hud No One in Washington to Influence Legislation Xel- . son and Reed Clash. TTASHIXGTON, June 14. Henry T. Oxnard, the millionaire vice-president of the American Beet Sugar Company, testified today before the Senate lobby committee that he estimated he had spent on an average of $20,000 a year in Washington for the last 23 years in behalf of the beet sugar industry. H declared not a cent had been spent illegally. Each year, when h3 was at his home in Washington, he declared, he came to the capitol to watch legis lation and see his friends among the Senators. Senator Reed demanded that the wit ness give the names of Senators who were his friends. "Most all the Senators," replied Mr. Oxnard. Reed Denies Friendship. "You need not include me in that list," declared Senator Reed. "Well. I call Senator Overman one of my friends and Senator Cummins there, and I don't know so much about Senator Nelson," said the witness. Senator Overman promptly asked Mr. Oxnard if he had ever called on him at his office or house, or If he had ever attended any of Mr. Oxnard's entertainments. Mr. Oxnard replied in the negative. Havemeyer Bxprnift Heavy. Mr. Oxnard informed the committee that "Havemeyer or some other per son connected with the sugar trust," Informed him that the "sugar trust" spent $760,000 In the Cuban reciprocity fight. When asked how it was spent Mr. Oxnard suggested some of it might have been spent "in subsidizing newspapers." He said he had sold most of his stock In beet sugar companies because of fear of free sugar. He and his brother had owned Jointly $4,000,000 of beet sugar stock In companies operating In Colo rado, Nebraska and California and now had $1,400,000 invested in cane sugar in Louisiana. John H. Carroll, of St. Touls. attorney for tire Hill railroad lines, testified his only activity consisted in filing a brief for the Great Northern and Burlington lines on the subject of creosote oil. Hill Roads Have No Lobby. "I want to say that the so-called Hill roads have no one In Washington trying to influence legislation," said he. Carroll added that James J. Hill and possibly other officials of the Hill roads had been In Washington recent ly, but that they did not come In con nection with legislation. Anselm Wold, the Senate printing clerk, testified about the orders for printing "Sugar at a Glance," an anti free sugar argument prepared by Truman G. Palmer, representing beet sugar interests and circulating free in the mails by hundreds of thousands of copies under the franking privilege of Senator Lodge. The committee has de veloped testimony on whether Palmer was permitted to change the document after the Senate had ordered It print ed. Wold told of the procedure of print ing a public document and turning to (Concluded on Page 2.1 INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather. TESTER DAY'S Maximum temperature, 64 degrees; minimum, 47 degrees.

POLO SERIES TAKEN BY AMERICAN FOUR Individual Daring Too Much for Britons. DIGNIFIED THRONG "ROOTS" Margin Only One-Quarter of Goal When Play Ends. GAME SERIES OF RUSHES Challengers Excel In Team Work, but Tliis Is Offset by 'Superb Dashing Drives of United States Men. Assemblage Xumber 35,000. MBADOWBROOK CLUB. Westbux y, L. I., June 14. By the narrow margin of one quarter of a goal, the Ameri can polo team won the second and deciding game of the International cup series at the Meadowbrok Club to day and thereby retains the trophy for at least another year. The score was to 414. The slight: advantage of the United States four over the English chal lengers at the end of one hour of tho most desperate kind of play is fully indicated by the trifling difference in the scores of the two teams. Polo play of the type shown by both the fours in the crucial game this afternoon has never been seen heretofore either In National or international contests in this country. Plgnlfled Assemblage "Rood." The play excited the crowd of 35.000 until the dignified assemblage was carried away and "rooted" like a typical baseball crowd during the flnal period of play. The gathering swayed in unison as the ball was rushed up and down the field, first threatening one goal and then the other. When finally the clanging gongs an nounced that the last period was ended and th6 thousands realized that Eng land's invasion had gone for naught, there was a rush of enthusiasts from stands to field that fairly engulfed the competing players, now shaking hands, while from outside the inclosure there arose a terrific din of automobile horns and sirens proclaiming another Amerl can victory in an international con test. American Thrill Spectators. Both the game and the settling were well worth the enthusiasm and ex citement created. Clever team play like that shown by the American four on Tuesday was missing, but "in its place was one uninterrupted series of dashing and desperate plays that swayed the spectators to a .degree seldom seen at sports of the type of polo. Never for a moment did the action lag and the game was one continuous spectacle of rushes, first in the direc tion of the American goals and then towards the poles of the Union jack. In this 60-mtnute melee the English showed a better team attack than the cup-defending four, and their ponies too, played the game as though they knew the international honor was at stake. Individual Daring; Bring! Victor?-. It was only through daring flashes of individual play that the Americans was finally able to emerge victorious by a score of 4H to 44 goals. The substitution of T E. Stoddard for "Monte" Waterbury. made necessary by the accident to Waterbury on Tues day. and the moving back of "Larry"' Waterbury to No. 2, caused a notice able break in the team play of the Meadowbrook "Big Four." Neither Waterbury nor Stoddard ap peared to get in combinations and re peatedly missed the balls fed to them by Whitney and Milbum. To offset this, the forwards eventually cut loose with such desperate individual play (Concluded on Page 5.) !suDrn'l9i4 PLANS BEGUN SOCIETY GIRL DECLARED OSCAR XELfiOX HIGHWAYMAN.

DIAMONDS THROWN AWAY Letter Telling of Gem Bracelet In Flower Box Arrives Late. Delay in the delivery of a letter to Mrs. Harry Liu, a guest at the Mult nomah Hotel, yesterday resulted in a beautiful diamond bracelet, valued at several hundred dollars, being sent to the city creamatory, where it probably was destroyed.

AS FESTIVAL ENDS Success of Affair Is Proved by Crowds. ATTENDANCE IS NEW RECORD Visitors to Portland Become City's Entertainers. REVELRY REIGNS AT CLOSE Parades and All Other Features Show Improvement Over Previous Occasions Rosariatis Estab lished as Moving Spirits. People of the Pacific Coast, by the volume of their attendance at the Rose Festival that came to a close with the electrical parade last night, have de manded that Portland's annual carr.i raj season shall live. People of Portland are determlneo that it shall live and with greater glory than in the past. In many respects the Festival of t913 has been most remarkable. Particu larly is this true of the attendance. Any observer could see, and the rail road traffic records prove, that the attendance this year was the heaviest in festival history. There alone lies reason sufficient to establish the Fes tival as a permanent Portland institu tion. Plana for Future Begin. Even before the last light glimmered and faded and before the last sound of revelry echoed and died out, the men and women of Portland were planning for the Festival of 1914, of 1915 and of the years to come. In the Festival of 1913 were many in spirations for the celebrations of the future. Among them must be counted the presence here of so many uniformed and organized marching bodies from neighboring cities. Jt must be admitted that the Royal Oaks, of Oakland, the Knights of the Rose Tournament of Pasadena, the Til llcums of Seattle, the Radiators of liugene. Miss Spokane of Spokane and the Blackfeet Indians of Glacier Na tional Park, provided much of tho week's entertainment. Instead of being entertained by the people of Portland they turned around and entertained the Portland people themselves. Visitor Add to Success. These "live wires" from "up and down the Coast" added much to the week's gaiety. They added more thaD a little to the success of the several parades in which they participated. Next year and in the following year? it is to be expected that they, or or ganizations similar to theirs, will be induced to come again and in even greater numbers. While these groups of organized vis itors were conspicuous by their en thusiasm, even they furnished only a small portion of the great crowd that gathered here. It was the unheralded individual, the humble farmer and his family and the pleasure-seekers from the outlying cities and towns who, col lectively, contributed to the remarkable success of this year's carnival. All traffic records on all railroads leading Into Portland were broken. The attendance, unquestionably, was the greatest since the festival began. While it is impossible now to give the num ber of people who came to Portland from points outside the city in actual figures, it Is certain that the previous estimate of 30,000 was not too high. It is possible that the figures ap proached nearer the 50,000 mark. Near-by Districts Represented. The Willamette Valley contributed the' greatest quota of visitors. Botl' the Oregon Electric and the Southeri raclfic carried capacity loads on al. their trains throughout the week. It tConcluded on Page 6.)
