THE OREGON , DAILY, JOURNAL, . PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1S09. BRILU0 AFFAIR Admiral Ijichi and Staff Formally Made Welcome to Eose, City at Banquet and Reception at Hotel Fortland Last Night. Taisn Trip, on Columbia. Admiral Ijichi and ,Ms staff were taken for a trip up "the Co lumbia river this morning under the guidance of Consul Numano. The party was scheduled to re turn to the oity this afternoon at 8 o'clock, when they will be taken to the home of President Ralph W. Hoyt of the Rose Festival association for a light luncheon and entertainment until the dinner hour, when they will he entertained at dinner by Con sul Numano. - Banners of the United States and Japan were twined together and the people of Portland brought their best In the way of attention and en tertainment last night when Admiral Ijichi and his staff of the Japanese navy were formally made welcome. No banqnet and reception ever given in Portland were more bril liant than those tendered last night to the Japanese admiral. The Ho tel Portland, where the" event tran spired, was made splendidly beauti ful with flowers mingled among the colors ot the United States and Japan and the Rose Festival. The foremost business and social lead ers .of Oregon were present to do honor to the city's ' distinguished guests. "This spontaneous display of good will toward us csn only be regarded as a direct and frank expression of the traditional" good feeling existing be tween these two nations," sajd Ad miral Ijichi, reppondlng to the welcome which had beon given him and voicing as he did so tlm feelings of all the other Japanese present. The admiral continued In words believed to bear greai significance as outlining the fu ture policy of Japan toward the United States: it "I think I need not dwell upon the ilnrerlty of Japan toward America. I am therefore convinced that these ex changes of visits and reciprocal friend ship will go far toward strengthening the good will already existing between the two countries linked together, in stead of separated by the Pacific coast, which open a broad channel of ever increasing ".ornnierce and navigation. And I ho;e that the star spanglea rmn ;rJ- . .. . .. . .

He de clared the Japan&ee were the most courteous people- In the world and cited Instances to show how every foreigner who now visits the kingdom of the Ris ing Sun Is given evry possible courtesy and attention. Mr. Wheelwright's ad dress was frequently interrupted by the muslo or the bands marcning in tne Rose Festival Darada . but as all the airs they played were of a patriotic na ture, tne errect was oniy aaaea 10. The Frlendshio or Nations," tne toast given by Colonel C. K S. Wood, was a masterpiece of its kind. He pro nounced a new creed of individualism developed for the masses. He dis claimed war, Its carnage and Its sorrow, and pointed his hearers toward the high er ideal of civic righteousness, peace ful Invention and consummated laeai. Eloquent Address toy Colonel Wood. Flowery periods of oratory sweeping very listener away from any possible contemplation of the sordid or unworthy were but vehicles for the expression or a deeper thought this that the day is to come and progress is now being made toward it wnen tne nations 01 tne earin will be linked together in the bond of peace and brotherhood and the terror of war, even, shall be a thing forgoMen and left out of the pages of history. Strengthening his position by an ap peal to history. Colonel Wood related instances to show how war and the thought of Its necessity Is the out- frrowth of a past when a battle for ex stenca was forced upon men. With the inventions of civilization and the higher standard of living consequent came more the spirit of brotherhood. Hell has been for many generations served as a religious breakfast food. Colonel Wood asserted. But the true religion is the religion of happiness. This means peace. leace has lived In every system of philosophy, In every dream of the poet, in every religious system. In every age the Ideal has been peace. This emphasizes the pro ner gracefully tntwlned with the flag nunclamento that man has but one great of the rising sun as you see In this room, will eternally symbolize the last ing peace anJ prosperity of- the United States of America and japan. HHHaittt Is Toaatmaster, William MacMaster was toastmaater of the evening and right gracefully he presided. As h rose to call the com pany away from their enjoyment of the elaborate menu to the greater enjoy ment of the toasts his face lighted up with the pleasure sll felt because of the fellcltious occasion. In a few sim ple words he assured the Japanese guests of the entire good feeling of all American people toward them and ex pressed his own sense of honor at be ing in a position to proffer such a tribute of esteem. Y. Numano, Japanese consul, -proposed the toast, "The Health of President Taft." During his short address he emphasized the Indelibly impressed sense of gratitude felt by the Jap anese people because of the aid in progress given them by the people of the united states. He laenuiiea mis country as a leader of the world's march of progress and he expressed his deep gratitude because of the place being taken by Japan among the great powers. His remarks were well put and elicited bpplause of the heartiest nature. Wheelwright Welcomes Quests. William D. Wheelwright formally wel. corned Japan to the United States. Ha cdnun illfflng his remarks to recall the recent history of Japan, when Commo dore Terry went to that country, only to find a dubious welcome. Then he detailed the great results that have fol lowed the opening of that country to the trade and fellowship of the Anglo Saxon races. He applauded the Jap anese because of their progress and spoke of them In the words of Presi dent Taft a "nation' of gentlemen, schol- r I m mm a At tne Mead of the Class is where every school child wantto be. " But improper food fail ing to nourish brain and body keeps many a bright child back.

Out of It grows the two great Ideals, said the speaker, liberty and peace: lib erty to live upon the plane of individual desire and ambition, peace for the en joyment of life. Thus man draams the dreams that he will make come true Even now this wonderful creature, man, has accomplished every ideal and desire. It remains for him to accomplish those desires which the age and the time pro duce. And that time Is coming. The Ideals of liberty and peace are gaining sway. The need for government will some time have no- farther need of ex istence. There will be no need for greater armament. Opposed to Big- Wavy. The speaker declared that he did not believe the God of war Is the God ot Justice, but is the God of the, heaviest battalions and the richest treasury. For this reason he contested Admiral Sebreee's ambition to increase the size nd power of the navy, adding that the cost of one ship would develop all the Interior of Oregon and railroads, and drawing from this argument the con clusion that It la not a question of how money Is spent, but where, and that they are much better Investments in a peace ful way than in munitions of war. Colonel Wood's address had a marked effect on his listeners. He had pro posed an ideal which the world of the every day rarely considers. He left a thought that some day the Ideal which he had formulated may be realized. Cheers Tor Admiral Sabre. Admiral Uriel Sebree was not on the printed program for a speech. But he was a 'guest of honor and his appear ance among the guests was the signal for prolonged applause from those who believe In the work he Is doing and is able to do. Admiral Sebree preceded Colonel Wood In his address, but ho made little reference to the navy. He paid tribute to the maritime genius of Admiral ijichi, made known his appre ciation for the courtesies shown him while a guest In Japan, and then with a trace of sadness In his tones told of his regret that he .is now counted one of the senior officers of the navy, and must, like the other eld fighters, one of these days pass on and out to main way for a younger man. ' Admiral Sebree loves Portland. " He declared his affection for the beautiful city grew out of his residence here many years ago. when his only son was born. He added that so long as he lived he would continue to love the city and its people, not only neoause or the mem ories that cluster around It, but because of the welcome tendered him on his visit here. Brilliant Beoeptloa Follows, The banquet was followed by a for mal reception, tendered In honor of Admiral Iilchi and his staff. The entire lower floor of tho hotel and the spacious outer court were surrendered for tho purpose. The room where the banquet was held was made magnificent with flowers and lights. In the decorative scheme the rcse held the nlace of honor but great banks of crimson and while peonies added to the splendor. Manager H. C. Bowers pf the Hote.l Portland had neglected no feature of entertainment which might add to the enjoyment of the occasion. Music was furnished by the Imperial Japanese band. As courtesy to the Americans many of the national airs were Played. and then followed much of the late popular muslo which was perfectly ren dered. The throng In attendance upon the reception was a brilliant one. at the banquet none but ,men were guests, but the ladles of the city held the places of prominence In tho reception and their presence gracing the, occasion brought the judgment that the event should be come momentous in the history of Port land as signalizing Portland's 'ability to entertain. All present had words of praise for E. C Ciltner, secretary of the Commerclar club, to whosa careful planning and happy thought much of the DUtasure of TITLE SETTLED; HUSBAND DIES Mrs. Saunders Gets News of Wealth, Then Conies Death. Fallowing the news that years of poverty were ended by the successful adjustment of the title to rich mining lands came to Mrs. Otis W. Saunders of Portland the sad announcement of her husband's death in Duluth, Minn. For many years Mr. Saunders was a leader in the business enterprises of the north and northwest, and was well known to the lumbermen of Oregon and Washington. The panic of the early 90s brought business reverses and .forced him to dispose of valuable real estate in Duluth. at ridiculously low- rices. So reduced In circumstances did Saunders become that he was al most forced to beer alms from former business associates. In 1902 he came to Portland, where he and his wife lived In 'a two room shack in East Portland, and where she still makes ner home. Mr. Saunders, desiring to se his daughter about a year ago, went to Duluth. where his death occurred yesterday. Meanwhile Attorneys Arthur Lang guth of Portland and John B. -Arnold of Duluth bad been completing nego tiations to settle the title of a one enth interest In 1400 acres of valuable iron lands in the Mesaba range of moun tains on Mr. Saunders. The settlement was- completed too. late to benefit the bankrupt boblness man. but his wife and daughter will never know again the pangs or poverty.
