- It was in tribute to the enthroning of
the new monarch that the city burst into
a bower ot roses, exemplified by the
floral parade, greatest of all the annual
features of the carnival of roses. '
Portlanders were literally astounded.
Such a magnificent display has never be

such a display,' nut the visitor could but

Fragrant, subtle odors of ten million
choice roses drifted through the air

Richard Jose
Sings Famous
Song at Shrine
Morning Session
i .
One of the finely sentimental feat
ures of the ; Shrine session at The
Auditorium; this . morning was r the
appearance on the rostrum of Rich
ard Jose and his- singing of Silver
Threads Among the Gold, proba
bly, the one song ranking: next to
"Home, Sweet Home," in public love.
His snow-w,hite hair failing about his
face. Jose ' was a tenderly picturesque
figure as he stood on the stage between
two imperial officers, his arms enfold
ing them. ! The large audience sat rapt
while the f golden-throated " notes fell.
When the! fast strains faintly echoed
through the "vast theatre, the day
dreamers awoke and gave Jose an ova
tion such as he had never experienced
before. ' I ' - - -
For years Jose toured the world and
achieved lasting fame by his delightful
and feeling rendering of this tender bit
of sentiment In harmony. By this means
alone he attained popularity seldom the
lot of a minstrel. . His voice is a high
lyric tenor and many theatregoers of
perhaps a quarter of a century ago still
recall the delicious range of sweetness
with which the thrillingty pensive tones
of the famous song came from Jose. .De
spite his age. his voice still carries much
of its original appeal.
Jose long ago gave up active work as
a minstrel, but not until hu nhme had
become Indelibly attached to. "Silver
Threads Among the Gold." Its words
are no doubt as. familiar to the average
citizen as are the words of many nur
sery rhymes.
Jose lives at San Francisco and is a
member of Islam temple and a leader
of its chorus and chanters. .
TENNESSEE MAY ,
VOTE SUFFRAGE
.Washington. June 24.- (IT. P.)
Acting Attorney ; General Frierson
has . informed Governor Roberts . of
Tennessee that he can legally call
a Bpecial seslson of the state legisla
ture to act on the woman suffrage
amendment. It was stated at the
White House today. ' "
Frierson's formal ruling was sent to
jthe Tennessee governor at the request
of President Wilson. It was said.
Frierson's ruling followed a request
of President Wilson to Roberts urging
him to call the special session of the
legislature so that Tennessee, a-Democratic
state, would furnish the 26th state
ratifying the suffrage amendment, thus
allowing women to vote in the fall elec
tions, i
LEADERS SEE- VICTOBT
Suffrage leaders today saw In Frier
son's ruling,' coupled with Robert's an
nouncement that he would act favorably
on Wilson's suggestion, the end of wo
men's 50-year battle for the ballot.
Miss Alice Paul, head of the National
Woman's party, said there was no doubt
Tennessee ! would ratify and that the
ratification would be legal.
Miss Paul compared Wilson's sugges
tion to Governor Robert's for a special
legislative 1 session with the expressed
attitude 'of Senator Harding, Republican
presidential nominee, who said he would
not interfere with the states.
Wilson's friends said that he had out
maneuvered Harding.
In a telegram to Governor Roberts of
Tennessee, urging the calling of a Bpe
cial session of the legislature to ratify
the suffrage amendment, Wilson de
clared: . -, .
"It would be a real service to the party
and to the nation if It is possible for
you under the peculiar provisions of
your state constitution, having in mind
the recent decision of the supreme court
in the Ohio case, to call a special ses
sion of the legislature of Tennessee to
consider the suffrage amendment. .Allow
me to urge this most earnest measure."
WILSON'S SUFFRAGE PLEA
MAY POINT WAY TO VICTORY
; San Francisco, June 24. (I. X. S.)
President Wilson has given his party a
flying start towards victory in 1920 by
his action in urging Governor A. H.
