CROVD SO DENSE
STREET TRAFFIC IS
AT A STAflDSTILL
Never. In Portland history wm
there such a crowd a witnessed the
electrical parade Tuesday night and
warmed over the street for three
hours following the celebration, ac ,
cording to Chief of.' Police ' Jenkins,
Captain Lewis and Captain JMoorev'
- rX would say' the- crowd numbered
does to 125,000 i people,:', said Captain
Lewis this morning. "X never in all ray
life w such a swarm of people." It ap
peared as If every man, woman ' and
child in' Portland were en the streets." '.
Captain Moore, Who has handled pa
rade crowds for many years, was uncer
tain as to the exast number of people. He
'estimates the number close to 100,000. I',
was by far the Isrgesf mass of humanity
that aver swarmed Portland streets, tie
say.iH-:;. -un v

So' dense - was , the crowd- moving,
pushing, crowding. dodging automobiles
-that it too It over two hours - for om
people to move a distance ot eight er 18
folcks bi the - congested , downtowrf -dis.
tricC 'Automobiles were jammed in four
rows, vainly trying to push their way
to the East Side following the parado.
- "Leave - your automobiles at 'home or
park them on the Kast Bide." Is the ur
gent plea Issued by Captain Lewis to
day, iff an effort to avoid a repetition
of Tuesday night's jam. :
It was three hours before the bridges
were clear of the struggling mass of hu
manity and machines. By; midnight the
. Morrison, Broadway and Steel bridges
ware clear. But it was dose to 1
Wednesday morning before the Haw
thorne bridge was freed. 1 - -
TRAFFIC AT STANDSTILL '
Three and four- abreast, automobiles
vainly attempted to push, their way to
Nthe west approaches of the bridges in an
effort to get to the East Side. Traffic
was absolutely halted, for many min
utes until a-vanguard .of policemen and
special patrolmen under Captain Lewis
could untangle the anxious mass. -
"Keep close to the curb, is the warn
ing to motorists issued by Captain
Lewis. "Automobilists : must keep in
line. We will refuse to recognise tna-
chines that come to intersections along
side the regular right-hand . traffic
. lines. - r-
Even Chief of Police Jenkins, along
with his captains and thief aides, are
working' day and night with patrolmen
, and special policemen in an effort to
keep traffic moving and maintain order
throughout the. city. i
Praise for the manner in which traffic
has been handled at the Union station
- has . been forthcoming from Shrlners
from various parts of the country.
"Block T' has been a life-saver for
us,H said . Captain Lewis. "We have
been able to keep the station clear at
all times and it has been a marvel to
many." .

The proof of the pudding is In the eat

success is the city's winning of the con
vention delegate.

Indians Add Convention Color
From the tepee came the" weird
beating of torn toms accompanied by
& strange chant of aeveral Vtoices. To
the tepee sauntered an Indian wom
an, wrapped In a multi-colored blan
ket and carrying in her arms a tiny1
papoose. She lifted the Indian blan- j
ket stretched over the apertureand
entered. - i - . i
It was on the North Park blocks,
where 25 Indian braves from the Cma- I

boldly walked to the tent whence issued
the weird sounds and raised the flap.
"Is the chief in here?" he asked.
"Someone to see him."
"Well, they can't come In her now,"
came from the tent. In perfect English,
In strange accord with the torn toms.
"I'll be out In a minute."
The reporter . eat upon a bench . and
waited the. pleasure of the chief. He
came. "My name Is Glen Btiahee," he
said. . It did not sound like the name of
a mighty chief. I i
"Haven't you got a real Indian name
besides?" asked the reporter, hopefully.
- "Tea," said the Indian brave, whose
hair was cut short and neatly, combed
and whose fancy buckskin shirt and
beaded moccasins, and painted face
were the only - indications of Indian
dress, "I used to be called Xakakohats,
which means "Tail Pine.' before I was
given my present name.". .
SATITE KAMES DROPPED
"Nearly all the Indians upon the res
ervation have discarded their Indian
names." he explained, "and are using the

"When do they rest, those Shrlners? v

rushing colors, with the ; bands ever

wondered- ' . -K ' '
Theydo rest occasionally, v although
they are making the most of Portland
and of the convention while they are
here. The Columbia river highway is
taking many of them out- in the after
noons, . many are seeking rest on the
quiet waters of the Willamette, while
headquarters of most of the temples
are havens of refuge from confusion of
the streets.
Here in .these more quiet abodes are
