THE STJXD AT OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. JUNE 7, 1914. "GREAT LIGHT WAY" IS SEEN BY THRONG Rebirth of Third Street in Grand, Brilliant Illumination Is Distinct Triumph. THOUSANDS CHEER EVENT Arches Blaze Forth In Dazzling Beaut y Bands Play Crowds In v epect Stores Innovation ot 'Thlrd-Streetersi Is Success. Portland is being; felicitated upon the birth of a street, named "The Great Light Way," at 8 o'clock last night The event was attended by a great crowd which thronged for many hours the sidewalks and streets of what for merly was known as Third street. Wilbur E. Coman, general manager of the Northwestern Electric Company, pressed a button In the company's new ' plant in the sub-basement of the Pit tock block. Instantly every one of the 2090 light globes in the great steel arches spanning every Intersection Do tween Burnside and Yamhill streets contributed Its share In the Inaugura tion of a wonderful Illumination. Hearty cheers from the crowds wet corned the brilliancy. Visitors were on hand by the thou sands. It was difficult to nudge Into elbow room anywhere along the walks. .A. squadron of policemen was kept busy at every intersection. Automo biles paraded along the streets. Many upstairs office windows were filled with spectators. The "Great Light Way" celebration ' last night put the people In the usual happy spirit for the Rose Festival this '. .week. Stores Decorated for Event. The opening of the "Great Light Way means that part of the city al ' ready is dressed up In Its finest bib . and tucker for the Rose Festival. In addition to the splendid effect of the lights, the stores are decorated with flags, roses and oressy combinations. The Rose Festival Association put . up large American flags across the "Great Light Way" for the full length of ex-Third street. Looking down through the arches from one end to another last night, visitors were reminded of the old days of the trail at the Lewis and Clark fair. However, there was none of the "haba haba" and "Gay Paree" stuff along the edges. As the bands were transferred from one corner to another, playing patriotic and rag-time airs, parts of the crowd followed like a band of kids trailing a great athlete. This was proof that they were there simply to see the eights and have some fun. Not much business was done last night. The merchants didn't expect it. Some, it is reported, were too rattled with enthusiasm over the great stunt of the evening to make change, any how. Their stores were open for In spection by the crowd. Rain Fall to Chill Triumph. Did it rain? A little, but that didn't chill the triumph. In fact, the rain was a mere side issue, not Important enough except to show that the spirit of the "Noble Order of Third Streeters" is of the dyed-in-the-wool variety and that the people of Portland were suf fciently interested in "Great Light Way" to turn out and help a good thing along-, rain or shine. The mist which fell gave a setting to the one resplendent blaze of light. The umbrellas didn't cover a single ounce of the life and spirit primed for the occasion. The yells rang out and applause spontaneously greeted the close of nearly every muBical number Tendered by Campbell's American band and Brown's band. Large colored signs were displayed, with such inscriptions as "You can buy anything on 'The Great Light Way' from soup to nuts, " 'The Great Light Way' is the most walked-on street in town." "Get the habit of trading: here where every line of business Is repre sented by the best of everything." Boosters Bxpnas Appreciation. Extempore verbal expressions were not lacking. "It's fine, Sichel," said J. L. Bowman to his neighbor merchant. Big Sichel, president of the "Third Streeters." "The best investment Third Streeters ever made." "Yes, it's all right; even a circus couldn't hand us anything," was the reply. "This thing has caused more talk than anything for years." "This campaign is going to make a gTeat big difference in old Third street' said someone else. "I'm simply de-elighted," shouted J. II. Rankin, secretary of the organiza tion. "I never saw so many people on Third street before." "My golly, ain't it pretty," said D. E. Bowman, treasurer of the group. "Let's walk down here; we can't get through that crowd." And so It went. "The Great Light Way" is firmly on the map just as the owners of business and property on Third street intended that It should be when they launched their present campaign for universal publicity. . . Street Has Many FctUrri. They saythey have the longest, the busiest and the widest street in Port land; the street with the fewest vacant stores; the street that represents the greatest variety of business; the street with the new public market; the pro posed auditorium; the great banking Institutions; the largest hotel in Port land: the telegraph offices; the large clothing - stores; the railroad offices, and the oldest merchants. The bands played until after 10:30 P. M., but the lights were left on until midnight. The people remained in large numbers to shop and to prome nade along the new thoroughfare. Until after the Festival the full force of the lights will be turned on nightly by the Northwestern Electric -Company free of charge. In all probability a band will be en gaged to enliven things on, the street corners every Saturday night. Not co: tent with music and light, the leaders of the organization are going to insist upon the immediate erection of the new auditorium, which they say belongs rightfully on their shores. They are negotiating with moving picture men to get several lively playhouses to lo cate on the "Great Light Way" to add to the brilliance of the lighting and draw additional peaple. Whenever you see a person wearing a blue button and there are 10.000 of them inscribed in white letters, "Third Streeters," "The Great White Way." and bearing a minimized sketch of the great steel arches, you may know that you are in the presence of a full-blooded "Third Streeter" who is at the same time a thoroughbred Port lander, willing to work and to pay for whatever will benefit Portland and Portland people. Greet Resent Report. WASHINGTON, Juno e. An attack n the report of the Carnegie peace foundation's commission, which Inves tigated alleged atrocities in the Bal kans, was issued at the Greek lega tion here today by Charge Vouros, as a preface to a report soon to be cir culated by the Greek government in thla country to refute the charges of atrocities made against the Greek armies by the commission. The statement issued today devotes much space to recounting atrocities al leged to have been committed by Bui gars.

It will represent the Greek government's earnest effort to correct the Injustice done to the Greek nation by the Carnegie commission's work." DR. PRYOR TO SUE GOVERNOR WITHHOLDS EXTRADI TION XST FILM CASH. San Francisco Man Declares Grand Larceny Charge Aamtnst Him Is False Statement Is Made. SALEM, Or., Juno 6. (Special.) After hearing testimony today upon the application of the Governor of Cali fornia for the extradition of Dr. Charles A. Pryor, proprietor of moving picture films entitled "The Revolution In Mexico," Governor West reserved decision, but released Dr. Pryor when he turned over 600 to Detective Cay with which to make settlement of the claim. The case thereby is practically dropped. Dr. Pryor, in his testi mony before the Governor, declared that the charges of J. W. Cole, of San Francisco, who accuses the moving picture man of swindling operations. were untrue. He said that Cole had given him $600 for the rights of the pictures in a certain territory. Cole's failure to obtain the films, Dr. Pryor said, was due to his own negligence. He declared that he had given Cole money at various times and had done everything within reason to assist him. He produced numerous telegrams to substantiate his assertion that he had not defrauded the complainant. "My pictures were exhibited recently at a Portland theater," said Dr. Pryor, and It was the unanimous opinion that they -were meritorious. I have sold no rights I could not deliver. Even if the charge were true, Mr. Cole's only recourse would be a civil action." Following the action by Governor West, Dr. Kryor, who is a prominent physician of San Francisco, Issued a statement explaining the arrest as un warranted and without any basis In fact, and announced he would sue his accuser and the attorneys for false ar rest and Imprisonment. He said Gov ernor West indicated he would not ex tradite him and that the Governor said his office was not a collection agency. Dr. Pryor said: Governor West refused to allow my extradition today because the charge of grand larceny was wholly unwar ranted and because the action, if any, should have been civil. A delay in the arrival of films sent for exhibition in the East caused my accuser to become excited. The charge of grand larceny has embarrassed me and my family. I am going to take legal action against the men involved In my arrest." Dr. Pryor was staying at the Port land Hotel when arrested and was re leased on bonds.
