Defendant's Wife Who Was. Choked, Canyon City, Or.. June 13. A sen sation was sprung here early this morning In the Charles E. Potts case. when It was learned that there was an attempt made last night to dig up the body of Mrs. Pott-and obliterate certain evidence. Potts la charged with choking his wife to death last July. Phil Ashford, one of PottV law yers. Dr. Francis Tate, one' of Lis ex pert medical witnesses; Prentiss Hicks, senior counsel for Potts, and Sam Ly on are under arrest charged with at tempting to dig up the body at mid night. - Sheriff Walsh became suspicious in the afternoon, and placed Deputy Sher iff Mulligan in the cemetery to watch. At midnight the men appeared and sought the grave of Mrs. Potts. Mulli gan went for help, and by the time he returned, 2 o'clock In the morning, they- had dug through to the casket. The men objected to arrest, and Tate says he had a permit from the Defend ant Potts to dig up the body. Four array of witnesses ar somewhat In confusion. Dr. Tate says that he wanted to make an examination of the body. He said that had the prosecution permitted him to see the fractured byoid bone taken from the body of Mrs. Potts, at the autopsy, he would never have robLed the grave. Preparations for robbing the arave and doing away with the body and what evidence it might show were made, however, eariy in tne day.

Old King Cole, the merry old soul, probably never In his mythical life had half the good time that the thou sands in the Rose Festival crowds on the downtown streets last night en joyed. Riotous joy and hilarity in monster masses were noticeable every where. First you received a rain of tiny bits of paper, commonly called confetti, on your head. In your face and down your back. Confetti throwing was the or der of the evening and It was kept up until the arrival of the milkman that is, a great number did. Then the bands began playing In the downtown streets after the passage of the parade and the feet of the thou sands, who.heard the music commenced to tickle. The temptation was Irre si stable. Hundreds, yes thousands, be gan to waits, two-step and rag. Rag ging was .predominant. The dancers ragged from street to street and from curb to curb, and every place they could find room to put their feet. Individual xcnslolans Impressed. Even after the bands broke up and the Individual musicians, completely worn out, were homeward Dent, tne crowds would not let-them go. Wher ever a bandman carrying an instru ment was descried he was grabbed an J held until he had played solo "Just one more tune" on his single instru ment. Before he had nnisned tne "one more tune" had sometimes lengthened into a program of a doxen or more "numbers" and the crowd danced just as vigorously as to a whole band. Sometimes the Instruments were borne and sometimes drums. The drummers seemed more popular. ' The Festival spirit prevailed every where. From the streets the revelry spread to the grills and scenes absent for years from these places were once again "present. Those (who managed iniifM into these grills say that it was the most Joyous Rose Festival JoKlnar nlsht ever neia, While the celebration in the grills similar to the New Tear's eclipsed anything celebration it far of recent years.

UNAVOIDABLE EVENTS -CAUSE OF SOME DELAY Fire Breaks Out While Pro-, cession in Progress; Peo ple Break Lines. As a pure parade. 1at night's elee trical display left much to b desired; " as a pageant. It was a tremendous success. Operative defects In several of the cars bearing bands caused unavoidable delays that stretche,td out the proces- me two run nours longer, than the estimated time, but the huge crowds lining the route waited In ex pectation of the brilliant treat notwith standing. Circumstance entirely beyond the control of the parade people themselves also played their part. One was the crowds; the other was a fire. Ropes would scarcely hold ' ths throngs that waited In some places, and when through some delay a big gap was made between two sections . or the procession the people would swarm out into the street, blocking ths progress or tne floats in the rear. A defective braka on one of tha lead ing band chariots caused the delay at the start at the corner of Nineteenth and Washington streets. Finally, see ing that It was Impossible to repair the injury, the hand was ordered cut out. and the parade advanced. ' " Delays Were TJaavoldable. The succeeding delays were all due to misfortune over which those. In charge .of the parade had no control, ; ana could not have been foreseen. .The parade, in net, was just like a railroad train that .once beslns to lose time Land then, through combinations of cir cumstances, keeps on losing.

The most pessimistic group ' here consists of members of the Mexican rebel Junts. ' Having already conquered -most of Mexico, they declared - that Carranza could concede nothing. Secretary of State Bryan was quite frank in expressing his opinion that the members of the Junta merely hoped there would be no settlement, because, with the end of the revolution, their occupation would be gone. , - OX-CART METHODS One of the old time ox carts is now being slowly drawn 'around the streets Of Portland.
