Small of Philadelphia and Stanley Reynolds of Bal timore Are Among the Injured. Ben V. Allen, special correspond ent for the Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer, touring: with President Wil son's official party, and James R. Patterson, aged 73 years, part owner of the Yeon building barber shop, were instantly killed at noon today, when an automobile driven by Pat terson overturned one mile east of Linneman Junction, on the Powell Valley'road. Stanley Reynolds, correspondent for ' the Baltimore Sun, was removed to Good Samaritan hospital with a fractured arm and shoulder blade, as a result of the accident, and Robert T. Small of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, was painfully tnjurefd. ' Arthur D. Sullivan of the Portland News, another passen ger in the same car, was bruised. Reports of the tragedy, first to mar the serene course of President Wilson's triumphal tour, say that Patterson, not an expert driver, attempted to overtake a car ahead of him. DHvIiik rapidly he sought to avoid a car parked beside the road and driven by C. H. Barnett, a Wasco automobile dealer. The Patterson car Bkidded more than 100 feet before it ran into a ditch about three feet deep at the sde of the road. .Lodged against a six-foot bank covered with brush, the car pinned down its passengers and in stantly, it is said, crushed the life from Allen and Patterson. The steering gear of the car was in good order. Those nearest the scene of the acci dent declare that Patterson's car turned over twice before it came to rest against the embankment. Patterson's machine was No.ls In President's Wil son's .procession.1 as .it went tbrjush Porllafcd and to Crown Point, returning . from which the accident occurred. CROWpED FROM OWIT CAE The three newspaper correspondents in the Patterson machine, one of whom was killed and two of whom were in jured, were slated to ride in car No. 7, under plans prepared for the proces sion. Two unidentified persons, how ever, occuple dthe car designated for Allen, Small and Reynolds and refused to be dislodged. The correspondents took their places in car No. 18 at Pat terson's Invitation. Patterson Is reported to have lacked skill in driving his machine Ada on the trip over the city streets is said to have stalled his engine several times. It was by narrow margins, one of his passen gers declared, that, collisions were avoided several times. GOIXO AT HIGH SPEED C. E. Sagler, 6227 Ninety-sixth street, northeast, wa,s driving a car directly in front of Paterson's machine when the car driven by Barnett, swung onto the highway. Sagler says he turned out of the road into the ditch to avoid hitting Barnett, and that Patterson swung around in such a manner that he was hit by Barnett's car. Sagler estimates Patterson's speed as between 40 and 45 miles an hour. Barnett was not arested on his prom ise to appear at the sheriff's office upon request. He reported the accident and gave testlmonyv Barnett told William Glover, U. S. secret service chief in Portland, that his car was parked along tho road wait ing for the president's procession . to pass, in accordance with instructions given him. He was about to start his car, thinking the line of machines had passed, when he saw the Sagler car. Sagler made a complete stop, but Pat terson's car some distance in the rear, skidded when the brakes were applied. Leading Americans Petition Senate to Ratify Peace Treaty New York, Sept. 15.

SENATE BEGINS TO DISCUSS TREATY Debate Over Document Expected to Last 6 Weeks; Jones of New Mexico Gives Ardent Support. Washington, Sept. 15. (U. P.) "I call up the treaty of peace with Germany." With these words. Senator Lodge, chairman of the foreign relations committee, today formally opened the discussion in the senate or the peace treaty as reported by the com mittee. For the first time in the senate's history a great treaty was considered in open session before thronged gal leries, instead of behind closed doors. Immediately a.fter Lodge had formally made the treaty the senate's business, the first gun in a barrage of speeches from the Democratic side of the cham ber In favor of unqualified ratification was fired in a speech by Senator Jones, New Mexico. Jones, one of the treaty's most ardent supporters, will be followed tomorrow ry Senator Overman, North Carolina, also In favor of Its .ratification as it now is. From now until the final vote has been taken on ratification the treaty will remain the senate's unfinished busi ness, taking precedence over all else. Senators today estimated that the de bate upon it will consume from four to six weeks. Lodge also put into the record a copy of the treaty with Austria, with the allied note, telling Austria to take the treaty just as it was written. Lodge said he was given the treaty by a Chi cago newspaper man. He announced that, following Jones' speech, he would ask that the Austrian pact be read. Gallery room in the senate was at a premium today. Many spectators left In disappointment when they learned that instead of being treated to a view of the senate at work on the momentous document, they would be compelled, if they stayed, to. listen to a speech. Earlier in the day Senator McCumber, North Dakota, presented his individual (Concluded on Pkgs Fin.

Police believe the probable murder occurred shortly after 7 o'clock, as the body was still warm when they arrived. Apostolu, a Greek, had been employed at the restaurant for some time and Bouras said he had had no trouble re cently that he. knew of. Special Offi cers Ed IS'assett and Ed Maher InvestK gated and reported that Apostolu's death was probable due to a quarrel over a gambling game. The Greek, it is believed, was either shot while standing at the head of the stairs or part way down the steps and slid to the basement over a board at the side of the flight The shot, which came from a weapon of medium caliber, was fired at close range, as the bullet went entirely through the head and came out the right cheek. Apostolu had been living at the Chi cago hotel at Fourth and Couch streets and is said to be survived by a wife and several children, .now residing in Greece. The restaurant was closed this morning by the police until further Investigation could be made. No clue to the murder has been dis covered.

Slowly his eye traced the splendid majesty of the outlook from the point where the Columbia seems to be born of the . mountains. He followed the course of the west's gTeat river through the deep gorge with which its unwearied dashings have deeply cleft the Cascade range. He smiled at the panorama un folded, the islands and wooded shores of the river mightily broadening "in its silver sweep to that dim point where a gleam caught by water from the sun tells of its nearing union with the Pacific DEDICATION DAT RECALLED There may have been in the president's mind as he stood in the automobile that had hurried him from Portland some indefinable manner of ownership. It was he who, seated one day In the White House at Washington, touched the . button that released the electric spark which at the end of its leap across the continent unfurled and uplifted the flag dedicating America's great highway to the beauty seekers of the world. It was a Wood row Wilson offering . to America and Old Glory floated bril liantly and beautiful over the epot of dedication again today, a genuine and fitting participant In the welcome of Oregon to the beloved leader of j the American people. A few moments before the arrival of the presidential party at the Headlands nearly 800 feet above the Columbia, which is called Crown Point, only a few people had gathered there. This was due to the rigorous efforts of the police and deputy sheriffs to keep the way clear. CROWD GATHERS JOCKLY But the space about the memorial building filled miraculously after the automobiles of the party had swept around the curve into position. Any thought that President Wilson may have had of looking at Bcenery only was very speedily disappointed. A human- wall closed round-him. On the parapet pho tographers clustered and the click of their busy cttmeras testified to the mul titude of photographic plates essentially inseparable from any presidential tour. In about 10 seconds an eager reception line formed, jurists and mechanics and mothers with little 'children vieing fot opportunity to grasp the hand of the tnajj who had Interpreted for. the present and for history the ideals of democracy. It might have been thought that the man who is endeavoring to unite America in the world leadership toward establishment of the League of Nations would have given his attention- to those prominent in political affairs who came to meet hint. For these he had courtesy, but lt was the children who won his smiles. MA3TT MEET PRESIDENT' ; "Dear little pink-cheeked fellow," he said as a proud father brought to the president his chubby boy. And he patted the little fellow's fair curls ta:; a way that- no doubt will jbe .repeated-. In 7 one household lor generation. VIEWS Swiftly he leaned over and caught the hand of a freckled, barefoot youngster, '"o much overcome to speak to' the pres ident. ' Many of the people President Wilson met by name. Many others had the equal pleasure of meeting Mrs. Wilson through the curtest of introduction by Chairman C. S. Jackson "of the com mittee in charge of arrangements for the president's visit, and the beautiful 'first lady of the land" never appeared in a setting more stilted to her gracious charm than upon the natural pedestal which nature seems to have established for the viewing of the gorge of the Columbia. TRIP TOO SPEEDY The journey from Crown Point and back was accomplished without inci dent, except that at Corbett a largo dog dashed among the motorcycle men, un seating one of the officers and injuring him slightly. "Must have been a liol fchevik, that dg," was a, comment from the sidelines. Returning to Portland the machines of the president's party took a slightly slower rate of speed than on the out ward hun. Forty-five miles an hour, even with an advance guard of police automobiles and motorcycles and secret service men, was a litle too fast, so John D. Mann, who had direction of the tour, was requested both by Mr. Jack son and Mayor Baker to "slow down the schedule." Lloyd George Calls Bullitt's Testimony A 'Tissue of Lies London, Sept. 15. (I. N. S.) The Paris correspondent of the Reuter News Agency telegraphed from Paris this aft ernoon that he had been authorized by Premier Lloyd George to state that William C.

Olcott and Mayor George L. Baker, and his step upon the platform was the signal for a tumult of enthusiasm that continued as music for his pro cession of triumph through the streets of the city. Such a multitude of humanity as is said never to have crowded Port land thoroughfares before banked every .vantage point and stormed their happy greetings to the history maker as he stood in his motor car beside Mrs. Wilson and waved his traveler's Tiat at the friends whose every interest subsided today into making President Wilson most heartily welcome to Oregon.

Mrs. Wilson wouldn't talk to re porters, but she said, "Hello, every body," with, her smile when she ar rived with President Wilson in Port land this morning. Proving quite as charming as crit ics explained when America's first lady of the land appeared abroad in Paris creations, Mrs. Wilson took Miss Portland by storm in the democracy and quiet taste of her dress. A severe black suit was wholly Ameri can. Setting off the Wllsonlan smile was a clever little velvet hat in blue, whfle around her neck she wore a small fur piece. She completed her costume with white glove's and a pair of sliver tuckled oxfords.

SALUTES She smiled frequent greetings to per sons who saluted and shouted a "Wel come to Portland" to her. She seemed appreciative of the cordial reception and bowed occasionally to some enthusiastic admirer. In the waiting motor car that was to take them through Portland streets and out the Columbia river highway, Mrs. Wilson took her place beside her hus band and acknowledged frequent ova tions as they proceeded in the parade. Reporters pleaded in vain when they asked Mrs. Wilson to tell them how It seemed to be the wife of the great war president.
