TOTS' .PROCESSION
LIKE FAIRY PARADE
Fifth Annual Rose Pageant of
Portland Heights Children
Is Elaborate Affair.
FLOWER DECORATIONS GAY
Tiny Girls With Dolls, In Blossom

tomobiles and Sedan Chairs,
Compete for Prizes.
Making the fifth consecutive year
l"" lne Pretty Jlttle pageant has been
held, the children of Portland Heights
Friday evening gave a rose parade, a
dainty diminuendo of one of the most
graceful features of the Rose Festival.
. In the gathering shadows of the
early evening the quaint array, as the
parade passed up and down Davenport
avenue, some of the floats being il
luminated with swaying vari-colored
paper lanterns, had the effect of a fairy
processional.
Two young men. not entirely grown
up, arrayed themselves grotesquely
and were given a lemon and an onion
In recognition of their contribution to
the gaiety.
Lester Norell was first in line, driv
ing his powerful racing car. From
stem to stern the swift machine was
covered with roses, nasturtiums and
other flowers. One of Lester's feet fur
nished the motive power.
Harriet Atchison, who still knows
that Santa Claus is the bona fide pa
tron saint of childhood, came next,
pushing her doll buggy, wrought over
with red roses and ferns. The fa
vorite member of Harriet's family, her
doll, rode in the carriage.
Auto Ilaa Boy- Power.
Another- high-power automobile,
with long, rakish lines, was next. It
was quite covered with roses, syringa
and ferns. Grace Peters and Spot, her
friendly little terrier, were the pas
sengers. The engines had been shut
off so the car would not exceed the
speed limit. George Peters walked be
hind and pushed.
No Rose Festival parade has ever
contained a prettier float, nor one on
which the details had been worked out
to a more artistic nicety than one In
which four children contributed to the
sweetness and completeness. This entry
was awarded first prize by the judges
J. A. Currey, president of the Rose
Society, and Mrs. Richard J. Grace.
Betty Allen, dressed as a Japanese
woman of high degree, sat in a min
iature sedan chair, borne by Walter
Swope and Richard Atchison. Just
ahead walked Ruth Golty. dressed as
a geisha girl, showering rose petals on
the spectators from her well-filled bas
ket. Betty threw rose petals, too, and
received a continuous ovation. The
chair was covered with daisies and
roofed with ferns. Syringa twined
about its pillars and Japanese lanterns
completed the effect.
Fnlry Bw Wlna .Second.
.Second prize went to Willis Harbke's
float, which was a fairy, bower. In
- which stood a real pink chiffon fairy
with gauze wings and a magic wand,
like the kind who were such good
friends to Cinderella. Marguerite
Rollins, 5 years old, was the fairy, and
she looked so fluffy and fairy-like that
it would have scarce been a surprise to
see her float out of her bower and
away over Council Crest like thistle
down. Willis, who lives at 606 Dav
enport avenue, was a leader in bring
ing about the parade.
An "old mill," its tower made all of
pink roses, its fans, of red ones and its
roof of daisies, was awarded third
prize. It was the entry of Myla and
Inez Chambers, and as they drew it
along its fans whirled as merrily as
though facing a brlsK breeze. The
mill had interior Illumination and a
tiny electric light blinked at the axis
of the fan, which, by whirling when
the parade was in motion and by stop
ping suddenly when the parade stopped,
betrayed a clever belt connection with
th traction wheel below.
The prizes were: First. SI. 50; second,
a Portland pennant; third. 50 cents.
George and Grace Peters were given
a ribbon as a token of honorable men
tion, and all the other entrants were
made glad by gifts of 20 cents each.
Allen Schraeer and George McCrea
were motor-bike policemen and pre
served, perfect order along the line of
inarch.

ROSE CITY ATTRACTS EAST
C. H. Moore, Ketourning From Balti
more, Says festival Is Important.
C. H. Moore, president of the Portland
Ad Club, who returned Friday night
from Baltimore, where he was a dele
gate to the National convention of Ad
vertising Men, urges the importance of
holding the Rose Festival In the coming
year on a greater scale than ever be
fore, because of its importance in
bringing Portland to the attention of
people in the East.
"Kverywhere I went and every one
to "whom I talked knows Portland as
the 'Rose City," and I sincerely trust
that the efforts being made to make
the Rose Festival bigger than ever in
future will meet with success," he
said. "After the whole world has been
apprised of the wonderful climate and
country we have, through the Rose
.Festival. I am sure that there is enough
civic pride in our city to continue to
maintain" the Festival."
Everywhere in the East Mr. Moore
found people interested in'the North
west and Its opportunities.
"Those who have not already visited
us." he said, "are only waiting for an
. opportune time to do so."
As to business conditions in the coun
try at large Mr. Moore said:
"I am of the opinion that we are in
much better condition here in Portland
and Oregon than they are in the East."
In the party that made the trip to
the convention in Baltimore were Mr.
Moore, H. R. Hayek, Mr. and Mrs. G. E.
Boyersmith, Mrs. J. D. Methot and Mayo
Methot. the "Portland Rosebud."
BANKRUPTCY CASES TOPIC
"Friendly Adjustment" Vrged by
Portland Man Before Credit Men.
A'n appeal for "friendly adjustment"
of bankruptcy cases was made by B. K.
Knapp, of Portland, at the annual
meeting of the National Association of
Credit Men in Cincinnati last week.
Mr. Knapp pointed out that settle
ment of such cases without an "end
less chain" of courts and lawyers,
would be more beneficial for the cred
itors, cheaper for the debtor and bet
ter for everybody concerned. His ideas
were accepted with great enthusiasm.
according to the reports of the meet
uiieiu issues or the Cincin
nati papers:
B. Knapp, cf Portland. Or., made
the hit of the day when he addressed
the afternoon session on "Friendly Ad
justments," says the Enquirer His
speech was frequently interrupted by
applause and when he ended, it took
fully five minutes before the ovation
tendered him by his fellow delegates
had subsided. It was evident that the
convention is heart and soul for the
settlement of bankruptcy and insolven
cy cases in an arbitrary and friendly
manner Instead of an. endless chain of
court actions and counter actions.
Three forceful arguments were ad
vanced by the speaker . in favor of
friendly adjustments. First, he said,
such course is quicker; second, It Is
cheaper, and third, the dividends ac-
uiiiB iu me (.-realtors . are by far
larger than they would be if the court
was in charge of the case.
He also figured the humanitarian
angle in his plea, when he asserted
that through friendly adjustments the
unfortunate debtor is enabled to be
coirie an asset instead of a liability in
the community In, which he dwells.
The speaker further pointed out that
the average dividends accrued by the
creditors of the United States in bank
ruptcy cases during the last three
years amounted to 22 6-10 per cent,
while the same creditors during the
same period of time received an ave
rage dividend of 54 6-10 per cent In
case of friendly adjustments.
The present bankruptcy law, though
opposed by certain commercial inter-

not to be criticised nor opposed by the
tunveniion 01 ine credit men. This
was Indicated by the nraise trlven tVt
law by Delegate Knapp and by the ap
plause tendered him. "The bankruptcy
law is as good and perfect as any law
could be." said the speaker, and added,
"Uncle Sam has been a most splendid
ally of the credit men in his continu
ous warfare against the commercial
fraud."
On tho other hand, so the speaker as
serted, there are numerous cases where
the cry of "fraud" is raised, when there
really is no foundation for it. In clos
ing he pleaded for the development of
a "lawyerless court" which, he said.
might be an appropriate term for the
adjustment court. Such an institutron.
he said, was as far ahead of the "an
tiquated system" as of the times of
Nero, just like the "eirl-less telenhnne
over the telephone operated by the girl
that reads romantic novels, writes love
letters or always says that the tele
phone has been taken out."
FRUIT CROP PLANS LAID
10,000 CAKS EXPECTED TO E
XORTIIW'EST'S TOTAL..
Refrigerator Service Mead Prepares
for Season's Traffic and Prom
ises Several Improvements..
Plans for handling the fruit crop of
the Northwest now are being made by
the Pacific Fruit Express, the refriger
ator service of the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific systems.
C. M. Sechrist, vice-president and
general manager of the company, with
headquarters at San Francisco, andJ.
W. MeClymonds, Pacific Coast agent at
San Francisco, were in Portland yes
terday to prepare for the season's busi
ness in the Northwest and Incidentally
to arrange for relieving Samuel A.
Hering. the general agent in Portland,
who has resigned to become car service
agent for the O.-W. R. & N. Company.
Mr. Herlng's successor has not yet been
named.
"We figure that the fruit output of
the Northwest will be equal to that of
last year about 10.000 cars," said Mr.
Sechrist yesterday. "Some parts of the
territory will have a lighter crop than
last year, but the increased acreage
will take care of that.
"In Southern Oregon we find that
both the crop and tho acreage will be
greater than a year ago.
"We are building 3000 new refrig
erator cars to handle fruit. This will
give us approximately 13,000 cars for
use on the lines that we serve. They
will be distributed liberally over the
Northwest.
"Arrangements have been made for
improving our icing service throughout
the Northwest. We will add to the ca
pacity of our plants and make possible
greater speed in icing cars in transit.
I hope that we will be able to improve
our service every year.
"California will ship Its usual quota
of deciduous fruits. The orange crop,
however, will be short.
"Considering the Pacific Coast fruit
situation as a whole. 1913 will be a
good year, showing its usual increase
and presenting even brighter future
prospects than usual."

SOMERSAULT IN AUTO
IS HAZARDOUS EXPLOIT
Two Accidents Occur in Seven Performances of Peat at' The Oaks
Amusement Park, but Fearless Greggs Continue.
i ss?rsR? '
! -V 5 5-"? !ft
SEVEN sensational trips of the
"autos that pass In the air" have
already been made at the Oaks
Amusement Park and with good
weather the feat will be performed
every afternoon and evening during the
present week.
Despite the' hazardous nature of the
exploit, in which one auto leaps over
another, turning a triple somersault,
there have been but two minor mis
haps. On Thursday night the somersaulting
.said, "I worked at carpentering and
expert accounting, and anything I
could get to do." His ordination papers,
typewritten on a letterhead. . made
prominent reference to the fact that
he was entitled to clerical half-rates on
all railroads. During the inquisition
he was principally troubled by the' fact
that he had not had his lunch.
A typical hard-working and much
flustered, middle-aged woman, the Very
Reverend Mary St. Martin launched Into
a voluble and ungrammatical defense of
her womanly character when brought
before the deputy until assured that
this was not in issue. She confirmed
statements of her righ reverend hus
band that the money to be realized
from the tags was collected, by authori
zation of tho diocesan conference. The
episcopal party also produced a certi
fied copy of a, city ordinance, passed
May 14; granting them the right to sell
tags for. benevolent purposes.

of the Church of Disciples until 1911,
when he started the new movement for
purposes which he described vaguely.
Later he consolidated with the. World's

New Jersey and he, as bishop of one
organization, exchanged- credentials
