DISPUTE AS TO GEMS
Employer of Fischler Says All
of Stolen Property Has Not
Been Returned,
(Gnlted Prem Leued Wtrt.)
San FranciacOk June 13. An import
Ant lssu hinged today on the contro
versy between A. S. Samuels of the
Samuels Jewelry company and Joseph
Fischler, the concern's confidential
secretary, concerning the value of the
gems which Fischler took from its safe
.Wednesday night just before his flight
Xrom San Francisco.
The Jewelry was reported originally
to be worth about $36,000, and after
' the fullest Investigation he was able
to make, In view of Flschler's mutila
tion of his Invoice book, Samuels Still
placed their value at more than $20,000.
Much Jewelry Still Missing. .
Assuming this estimate to be cor
rect, toe company fell far short of
having recovered all Its DroDertv in
the suitcase full of gems Fischler had
with him when arrested near Big Basin
Park Thursday night, and Samuels was
exceedingly anxious to know the where
abouts of the rest of it.
Fischler, however, contended that the
wholesale value of the Jewels he took
was not more than (8000, and. If this
is true it is clear that Samuels had
already regained possession of most of
What his secretary appropriated.
The present he gave to Corinne
Houston described as a pair of dia
mond earrings and a pearl necklace
Fischler insisted, was worth (18.50.
" - Will Plead Insanity.
A. O. Lyon, FlBchler's lawyer, said
tils client's defense would be insan
ity. Fischler, apparently in a cheer
ful mood, said he was willing to give
all the aid he could in straightening
out the confusion caused by his theft
from the Samuels company and the
destruction of several pages from the
Invoice book.
Though it had no particular bear
lng on the case, the police were in
' vestipattng the prisoner's story that he
and Ruth Watson were married in
Redwood City six years ago, but kept
the fact a secret because, on accoun
of religious differences, their families
would have disapproved. . I

and i it would take a slough of them
properly to describe last night's splen
did pageant. The floats were conspicu
ous for the fact that each told a story,
and told it well. And they told it
simply. Not that the workmanship
was, not elaborate, the costumes gor
geous and the general effect one of
scintillation, but there were no super
fluities. Each float contained enough
and not too much.
Great Crowd Hugely Pleased.
There was a gratifying absence of
gingerbread and filligree effects. There
was nothing lashy about them in either
design or execution. Nor was there
anything tawdry.
And they pleased the . great crowds
because they told everybody some
thing he already new. Oregonlans are
all more or less familiar with their
own history and all are certainly fa
miliar with the chief -features of her
leading industries. Naturally when
a float passed by showing a huge log
being cut into timber by a circular saw
It made a hit with every spectator.
The ' parade started from the Ford
street car barns at Twenty-third and
Washington streets a little before 9
o'clock, Police Sergeant Crate and
a squad or mounted police leading.
Then came the administration cars i
belonging to the Rose Festival asso
ciation the first containing President
C. C. Colt; C. V. Cooper, Frank C.
Rlg"rs, and Superintendent of Schools
L. R. Alderman. In an auto directly
behind them were W. F. Woodward, J.

On horseback, and on foot over 500
members of the Improved1 Order of
Redmen marched next in full war
paint, buckskins and feathers. They
were under command of Frank G.
Marcelli, great sachem, and George M.
Orton, George N. Farrln and J. H.
Fitzgerald, past great sachems.
The first float. "Before the Dawn,"
showed the primeval Oregon before the
coming of tft$ white man. Pretty girls
dressed as braves and squaws rode on
the float with Princess Anna Tierney
in the character of the Princess Wal

The police band came next riding
on a float called "Oregon. "The Dis

Whit Man's Coming' Depicted..
"Sacajawea, or the Coming of the
White Man," formed the subject of the
following float. Miss Sadie Vigus as
Columbia, the Goddess of Liberty, oc
cupied the central position while Saca

comed those iareptd. explorers, Lewis

"Life on the Plains," depicting "the
Roundup," showed a vigorous picture
of bucking horses and other glimpses
of the frontier.

car. He had with him Wesley and

Apple Blossom Float Beautiful.
The float "Commerce" with Miss
Beulah Barringer in the principal role
showed a rushing water fall turning a
power wheel. Clever lighting effects
gave the appearance of falling Water,
while the wheel revolved with all sem
blance of generating electricity.
A huge log being cut into timbers
by a band saw furnished the subject-
matter of the float, "The Tribute of
the Forests." This was one of th
most realistic floats in the whole pro
cession, and by a combination of beau
tiful lighting effects one of the most
striking.
"The Food of Kings and King of
Foods," was easily recognized to
bo salmon by the crowds, a huge hand
some' fish was seen swimming through
the waters, while many smaller ones
fell captive to the fishermen's net.
"Apple Blossom Time In Oregon"
was probably the most beautiful float
shown. . It depicted a real Oregon
orchard at its prime, the trees covered
with snowy blossoms. Princess Hazel
Hoyt occoupled the seat of honor.
Panama Canal Cleverest Idea, .
Next came Tigano's band, on the car
"Pacific," following which was "Port
land, the Land of Roses." with Miss
Helen Mclver it) a bower of roses.
The cleverest float of all, mechan
ically, was the one presenting the Pan
ama canal, or "The Wedding of the
Oceans." The battleship Oregon was
shown in a lock of the canal rising
and falling when the lock filled or
was emptied of water add firing one
of her small guns as a salute. Be

of "the world.

came Queen Thelma on a royal float.

Small boys made young fortunes
last night selling soap boxes to spec
tators, while many householders along
Morrison street rented seats for two
bits; The streets this morning looked
like the backyard of a box factory.
Windows, fire escapes, telegraph poles
and roofs all were pressed Into service.
And the crowds In all their numbers,
whether from housetop or cracker box,
agreed that it was a splendid pageant.
Notes of the Parade.
Jolly militiamen, bent on a Jovial
Junket, last night made sad havoc
of the human camel that was parading
the street In advertisement of a local
vaudeville theatre before the electric
pageant started on Its way.. Follow
ing the "Camel," .which was propelled
by two rather weary men, the guards
men grabbed . the swaying tall of the
creature and gave a .merry tug. The
tail came off and with a happy ripple
of laughter the state's soldiers car
ried it off as a trophy, leaving the dis
comfited beast to continue its Jour
ney badly maimed.
Spectators lined up along the curbs

night were annoyed by the eight of
two young hoodlums, 'well started on a
night of it." who sat in an upper win
