Three hundred thousand people,
representing every state in the union,
Canada, Hawaii, the Canal Zone and
Alaska, are expected to witness the
piLSCant.
-', jeorge H. Hutchlns, creater of the
multi-colored floats which will be
! d.aazle Portland and her visitors, is
i ready and only awaits the word to
start from George L. Baker, mayor of
Portland, and grand marshal of the
parade.
; Horses to Draw Floats.
While the magnificent floats will
'. follow the car tracks and will draw
their current from the trolley wires,
they will, this year,- not be electric
ally propelled. More than 100 picked
horses, much-be-plumed and covered
with vnrl-pnlftrpil. lect rlc-1 i rhtad
blankets, the pick of the stables of
the northwest, selected oy umanuei
Merman, will draw the floats.
In addition to the myriads of lights,
hundreds of young women, the most
beautiful of Oregon girls, will ride
in the dazzling pageant.

that he was ready. In three months
. he has accomplished what previously,
on- Hose Festival occasions, usually
required six months Working three
liifts, Mr. Hutchlns started on his
stupendous task March 22 with every
thing new, even to the crews. Today
ho is working two crews to put the
Tinely finished touches on the work
, which represents an expenditure or
' $i0,000. He announced yesterday that
' to' make it more pleasant and com
' fortable for the nobles who are fa
miliar with the "hot sands." real,
honest-to goodness desert sand will
a.ve the way along the trail of
' march, and that the cushioned foot
f the camel also will meet with
v homelike terra firma. This sand will
.: be . laid between the rails of the
tracks along which the electric pa
rude will pass.
The following firms of the city
have donated the pick of their stables
. for the spectacular electric parade:
Marshall Wells, 12; Oregon Trans
i for company, 8; Auto Dispatch, 8;
I ll?lser Bros., 12; C. C. Chappell,
James Lyons and Holman Transfer.
IfijClay S. Morse, 8; Well3-Fargo. 16.
' It lis probable that others will donate
' some of their animals, for many of
th)s array are to appear in the horse
shbw at Multnomah field in the eve
; ninpr during the week.
Urgent request was made yester-
. Sy by Frank S. Grant, chairman of
the decorations committee of the
J Slfrine, that Portland help the city
and convention committees in every
a way possible. To this end plea
! made that all possible care be taken
i of 'the decorations already up and
; thone going up, and that the franie-
J work around the light pojts of the
. downtown section be not disturbed
Kqports have reached the committee
.; thnt already, in many instances, the
wooden strips have been torn from
thfc, posts, causing great inconven
i iesce and double work for the deco
j ri4ora.

POLICE DISCREDIT STORY
COXYICT XOT THOUGHT SCIOX
' OF WEALTHY FAMILY.
BISHOP AND MRS. W. O. SHEPARD.
Prior to taking over the Portland area of the Methodist Episcopal
church. Bishop W. O. Shepard, who arrived in Portland last Friday
evening, was eight years resident bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
area of Wichita. Kan. Bishop and Mrs. Shepard have taken up resi
dence in Portland at the Alexandra Court apartments. Friday eve
ning a reception will be tendered the couple at the First Methodist
Episcopal church. Rev. William Wallace Youngson having charge of
the programme.
Bishop Shepard has been engaged in ministerial work for the
past 34 years and was ordained minister of the Methodist Episcopal
church when 24 years old. At the general conference of the Metho
dist Episcopal church held recently in Des Moines the bishop was se
cured to take the Portland area, a delegation going from the city es
pecially to obtain him for the Portland churches of his denomination.
He takes the place of the late Bishop Hughes, who died last Easter
Sunday morning while on a visit to the Atlantic coast cities. Bishop
Shepard was not averse to coming to Portland, as he has always been
a great "booster" of the Rose City.
DaTld Smith's Kecord Looked Into
and Nothing Fonnd to Create '
Suspicion of Respectability.
Reports current that David Smith,
one of the three men doing time in
the state penitentiary for the Clare-
mont tavern murders, is a scion of
a wealthy New York family and that
Smith is not his real name are not
given credence by Portland police.
Both Captain of Inspectors Circle
and Lieutenant Maloney, who were
Instrumental in making the investi
gation which sent Smith to the peni
tentiary, declared yesterday that they
had seen his discharge from the army
and that he served under the name
of David Smith.
Reports that Smith's parents were
to come west shortly and start legal
proceedings in the effort to get him
out of the penitentiary are also be
lieved to be false by the police.
Records in the possession of Ber-
tillion Expert Hunter at the police
station show that Smith, under the
name of E. Rosel was arrested in
King county, Washington, for tres
pass and given 30 days on March 27,
1917. Under the same name the record
shows he was arrested April 2, 1918,
at Stockton, Cal., for government in
vestigation as an I. W. W. suspect.
The record fails to say what the re
sult of that inquiry was. The police
officers point to this record as sub
stantiating their claim that he is
unlikely to be a member of a good
family.
Added interest in the Claremont
tavern shooting has arisen because of
the recent alleged confession or
James Ogle, now at the state peni
tentiary, that he was the man who
fired the actual shots which killed
J. N. Burgess and George Peringer
last November.
against 714 in April, 1919, an increase
of 163. Of those born in April last
year, a few months after the signing
of the armistice. 371, or more than
half, were boys. Of those born in
April. 1920, fewer than half, 413 were
boys.
"Why is it? Part of the general
prosperity, I guess," Dr. Roy H. John
son said. "People can afford them
and the American people are bound to
have what they can afford."

CARUSO'S HOME GUARDED
ATTEMPT TO HARM IXFAXT
DAUGHTER IS FEARED.
Letter May Give Clew on Theft of
$500,000 Worth of Jewels
From New York Residence.
EAST HAMPTON. N. T.. June 12.
Fear that an attempt might be made
to harm Gloria, Infant daughter of
Enrico Caruso, has caused a heavy
guard of private detectives to be
thrown around the singer s estate
here pending investigation of the half
million dollar Jewel robbery which
occurred Tuesday.
A letter mailed from Weehawken,
N. J.. may prove a valuable clew. It
described a scene in the employers'
dining room of a New York hotel
where a negro was said to have ex
hibited a pearl necklace which the
writer thought was part of the
Caruso collection.
As an added precaution against
kidnaping, all members of the Caruso
household with the exception of Mrs.
Caruso, have armed themselves, it
was learned. Mrs. Park Benjamin Jr,
sister-in-law of Mrs. Caruso, has
moved here from New York and is
doing "guard duty." She is reputed
a good shot.

GERMAN THEATERS CLOSE
Heavy Tax and ."Americanism"
Blamed for Critical Situation.
BERLIN. Taxation amounting to
something like 55 per cent of gross
revenue and heavy running expenses
are responsible for the recent closing
down of 60 first-class thaters in Ger
many. Many theatrical and operatic
companies are said to be in sore
financial straits. Few people can af
ford to pay for the higher priced seats
at the present increased rates and
the moving picture houses, with their
popular prices, are reaping the bene
fit. The management of the Reinhardt
concern, which controls the three
most important Berlin theaters, states
that the latest "luxury" tax alone
takes more than 20 per cent of the
box office receipts. Boxes and stalls
are now rarely booked. The Kapp
devolution week, he said, caused the
concern a loss of 750,000 marks.
Director Barnowsky of the Lessing
theater, the home of the drama in
Berlin, told a Tageblatt representa
tive that the German stage is passing
through a most critical period. The
atrical budgets, he said, can no longer
be balanced. The greatest menace,
he said, was "Americanization," by
which, he explained, he meant "art
for amusement's sake, not for art's
sake."

Charles M. Schwab Gives Data at
Luncheon of Xew York
University.
XEWf YORK. In a report of the
luncheon and rally of the alumni
workers of New York university's en
dowment fund campaign at Hotel '
Biltmore recently, Charles M. Schwab
was quoted as giving figures of the
greatest sea fighting machine now
under construction. This new battle '
cruiser, he said, will be 1000 feet long.
104 feet wide and of 60,000 tons dis
placement. It will be ten miles an
hour faster than the Lusitania, will
carry 12 16-inch guns and will cost
about $50,000,000.
"The building of enough of these
ships will be a simple, way of main
taining peace with the world." he :
added. "Not that the fighting men
desire peace, but because of the fact
that when we have such a formidable
array of power it is not likely that
any country will take it upon itself ,
to encroach upon our rights. These
new ships will be no more powerful
or speedier than they should be for
the protection of this great United
States of America."
The occasion for Mr. Schwab's pres
ence at the luncheon was the cele
bration of "Monitor day." Isaac New
ton, class of 1855 of the university,
was the engineer In charge below
decks on the "Yankee Cheese Box on
a Raff during the historic battle
with the Merrimac.
Rear-Admlral J. H. Glennon. com
mandant of the 3d naval district, paid
tribute to the achievement of the
Monitor. He said it was the first
craft that was practical for defense
and the "first that could stand and
fight."
