MUTTON MURIEL TO LIGHT UP CITY Millions of Blooms to Be Given to Tourists and 1000 Are Asked For at Once for Crews of Fleet Now In Harbor. Portland and the people of Oregon are waiting to pass under the scepter of Queen Muriel and King Joy and to de clare their loyalty to the Realm of the Hose. Portland just began to be really con scious of how near the dawn of Queen Muriel's reign is yesterday morning when the first flags began to go up In the business section of the city. By mid-afternoon the enthusiasm was upon the city and the increase and the ac tivity of the crowds testified to the first awakening of the Festival spirit. For the past week or more the Rose Festival board has been practically ready for the opening day and has been just putting on the finishing touches. When the decorators began to be In evidence yesterday the high tension preparedness that had been humming In the headquarters of the Festival board began to flash through the nerves of the whole city, and now everybody is taking a hand in the final touches. Decoration la Well Started. It Is a race between decorators, rail ways, citizens, florists and Old Sol himself to see who can do the most in the two days and a half that yet re main until Queen Muriel assumes her crown and turns Portland over to merrymaking and pageantry. The decorators have their job well in hand. Already from the big floral fountain in the Festival center the ten drils of electric light chains have been thrown out along the principal streets and by tomorrow night the whole court of honor and Festival center will be In readiness to leap into a blaze of light when the Queen touches the mastbr switch and declares the Festival cen ter opened, Tuesday night. Railroad officials on all lines predict a bigger attendance from cities all over the- state than at any previous Festival, and the big lists of reserva tions that all the hotels are already be ginning to report bear out their pre diction. Delegations Escort Maids. The active participation of maids of honor from some of the principal cities of Oregon is bringing big delegations to escort the various princesses and to witness their triumphs in the Festival, while the enormously comprehensive campaign of publicity that has been carried on throughout the United States has brought to the railroads in quiries that indicate a. still greater ad dition to the total attendance, from tourists who are arranging to come to Portland in person and pluck the rose that is promised them in the Festival slogan. - The dedication of the Columbia River Highway is yet another feature which has brought innumerable inquiries and the automobile people of the city pre dict that the contingent of motorists that will come to help out at the dedi cation will be something that the his tory of no previous Festival can ap proach in Importance and magnitude. Million Blooms Produced. As to the citizens and florists, it has always been the policy of the florists of the city to help in the Festival as much as possible and the million blooms that will be featured in the Festival center will be the clearest expression of their loyalty to the Festival this year. The growing of these plants in pots In hothouses has been carried on under general supervision by the board repre sentatives for months and the result will represent the co-operative energy of all of the florists of the city. The citizens are working out all kinds of features which will make the Festival "different." "For you a rose in Portland grows." says the official slogan, and a com mittee of women of the city has under taken to "make good" to the visiting public on the promise of that slogan On each of the three days of the Festival roses are to be given to visitors on the streets and efforts will be made to assure everybody of bios soms in plenty. 64 Glrla to Give Roses. Miss Harriett D. Jellison. of the Fruit and Flower Mission, will head a committee of 64 girls who will oc cupy 32 stations on Wednesday and will give out roses to all. They will go forth In the morning armed with big clothes baskets full of flowers and arrangements will be mads to keep their stock replenished throughout the day. Mrs. Heller Khrman, of the Council of Jewish Women, will head the com mittee for the second day and Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens for the third day. Three dozen clothes baskets have been donated by the Portland Basket and Handle Company and the appeal to the general public now. is to furnish the roses. All that has to be done is to pack the blossoms in a suit box or something similar- and give them to the street car conductor on your line. He has been instructed to deliver them at the stations where they will be collected and carried to the headquarters on the first floor of the Oregon building. Not only are the people asked to donate roses for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but also for tomorrow. 1000 Bnda Wanted for Fleet. Portland Is to be honored by the presence of the battleship Oregon and the cruiser South Dakota, which, with the naval militia training ship Marble- head, will be the biggest naval fleet ever assembled in the harbor at once. One thousand roses are wanted to morrow morning to be sent to the offi cers and men on board the visiting ships, and the committees urge the citizens to send in ail available blos soms that they can secure for that pur pose. If the delivery of the flowers cannot be made otherwise, call E. N. Weinbaura at Broadway 440, and the machine will be sent out to gather up the roses. With the people being lined up to pin roses on the world of visitors, it is Anally up to Old Sol to bestir himself and shake out into bloom as many as possible, of the rosebuds that have been curling themselves up under the stress of a chilly May. He is acquitting himself nobly In this work. Yesterday was fair all day, with a temperature that ran up to 79, and today another fair period is fore cast. Bloom Appearing; Rapidly. Reports announce that the roses are coming out with a rush in Rose City Park, Alameda Park, Irvington. pied mont. Alberta and the Hawthorne dis tricts. On the West Side similarly cheering news Is given for all districts, except Portland Heights, which is a few days behind the lower districts I I SJ'AA'i '35s - - f S always. If the weather maintains itself as It has in the past few days, there will be no trouble about having plenty of roses for every phase of the pageantry and decoration and stll having enough to shower them upon our visitors. As to the entertainment features of the Festival, the parades and pageantry and the frolicking in the Festival Cen ter, the details of these features have been set for several days. All that seems to be left now for the Portland people to do Is to get out and hang their Festival decorations, watch their roses bursting into bloom, and glory In the tingle, tingle of the steadily increasing enthusiasm that is mounting up and will swell into the full glory of the Festival when Queen Muriel receives her crown.

"PAT" M'ARTHUR VICTIM Finding Is Result of Dodger Dis tributed in Interest of Mr. Lit tlefleld Accusing Opponent of Aiding Lawbreakers. R- P. Hutton. instigator of the pub lication of a pre-prlinary circular of the Anti-Saloon League, of which be Is superintendent, accusing Representa tive C. N. McArthur with abetting Cali fornia liquor Interests in the evasion of Oregon laws, waa Indicted by the Multnomah County grand Jury yester day for political criminal libel. Con viction is punishable by a term of from one to three years in the penitentiary. The dodger, which was distributed in churches and about the city by mem bers of the Anti-Saloon League, con tained a cartoon, depleting Mr. McAr thur holding open the door through which illegal shipments of liquor were being made into Oregon. Beneath tho picture was the line, " 'Pat' McArthur gives license to booze-boosting, home- destroying defiers of Oregon laws." The circular was distributed on May s, and waa in tho Interest of E. V. Little field, who was Indorsed by the dry forces. Issue Injected Into Campaign. Not desiring to mingle in politico, the grand Jury withheld Its decision in the consideration of the case of Superintendent Hutton until after tho primary tight. Tho Issue was plunged Into the campaign in some degree, how ever, by the $50,000 libel suit filed against Mr. Hutton by Mr. McArthur. alleging malicious slander. ' Progress In that suit went as far in Portland as the taking of a long deposition from Mr. Hutton. The case Is still pending In the Circuit Court. Attorneys for the de fense asserted their belief that it would bo dropped after the primaries. It has not been. The defense In the case does not deny the publication and circula tion of the circulars In question, but contended that Mr. McArthur'a reputa tion was not besmirched by them. The criminal action against Mr. Hut ton is, of course, distinct trom the civil action to recover damages. The Indictment charges Mr. Hutton with assisting In the circulation ot a poster containing false statements re flecting on the character, morality and Integrity of C N. McArthur. then can didate for the Republican nomination, for Representative from the Third Con gressional District. The circular is said to state falsely that Mr. McArthur gave license and permission to Cali fornia wholesale and retail dealers In intoxicants to violate and defy the Ore gon laws, creating a false impression. damaging the character of the Repre sentative. Thirteen Indictments Returned. Thirteen Indictments were returned by the grand Jury yesterday, nine of which were secret. The grand jurors for the April and May term turned in their final report, showing that they bad drawn 40 true bills and -'0 not true bills, and had examined S31 wit nesses.

The re port of the April-May Jury says: "The present system at Kelly Butte meets with our approval, and the sanitary conditions are excellent." Kelly Butte Is now in care of Sheriff Hurlburt. The grand Jury pointed to the preva lence of crime among young men, and recommended that a system for refor mation ot young criminals be worked out by society.
