LEAVING PORTLAND
Gilded and tinseled, the gay festi
i val hall of Bhrinedom has been used
for its moment and today stands
abandoned, beautiful as, ever, but
hollow and empty, echoing mean
while the fellowship and happiness
of the minstrels and banqueters who
are rone.
Numerically, the Shrine nobility ex-
ceeded the most roseate dreams of at
tendance figures. For once participa
tion was greater than anticipation. 1
Tod ay the attendance figure was es
timated officially to range somewhere
between 80,000 and 85,000. Mark Wood
ruff, general executive chairman of the
festivities, made this estimate from the
-registration list of bands and. patrols
and from the report of the housing com
mittee on the number of Shrine rs han
dled through that "bureau. The estimate
does not include the thousands of un
" of Qcial visitors who flocked into the
dry for the week.
Mark and his assistants were bleary
Of eye, some were unshaven, bat their
nerve was unshattered by the gruelling
week and they were bravely at the task
of cleaning up today.
COMMITTEE DOES GREAT YTORK
Every Shrine committee covered Itself
with glory during the week Just past.
To the committeemen goes the honor of
handling successfully the greatest of
Ehrine conventions.
But of all the records probably the
most remarkable is that of the baggage
committee, under the chairmanship of
Harry Cowgtll Jr, This committee han-
died 82.000 pieces of baggage. Of this
number IS 9 8 pieces were lost and. 139
were recovered, leaving a grand total or
unrecovered baggage , of two pieces.
There was a strain of sadness in Port
land Thursday night, the reflex perhaps
from the overabundance of Joy that had
reigned for the three days previous. ,
STAYED 13T TO SBT OUT
Maybe the ralnsoaked crowd which
had witnessed the floral parade decided
to call it a day after that event and
stayed at home to dry out.
But the few, comparatively speaking,
. who were downtown had to witness the
melancholy spectacle of the departure
of the joymakers.
Like the Arabs they are, the tribesmen
of the Shrine folded their tents silently
and stole away. ,
It was suggestive of small boy circus
day a After a glorious time in the das
sling scenes under the big top, you may
... have awakened in the night to hear the
big wagons rumbling past with all the
wonders of the show boxed within.
STBEETS SEEM DESEBTED
The streets seemed singularly deserted.
One oould look up -Broadway under the
thousands of festival lights to an un
obstructed view. And the fantastically
shaded lamps cast a more brooding glow
" than ever. ----,,.--. v
Little groups were gathered here and
there, but the riotous singing and mirth
were absent.
A few bands played. There was a lit
tle singing, but it bore the meditative
note of the singing one hears when good
fellows get together for the last time,
But mostly it Was a parade of the
faithful, the silent trek of the strangers
toward the railroad stations and their
:- homes. .-. , - ;..:!.-:
Oa Washington street near Broadway
a lone cornetist tooted away on "Aloha"
The crowd gathered closely and listened
silently, applauding in a decorous way
for mora . r
LONE COKNETIST QUITS
Late in the evening another cornetist
played a sad lay from a window of the
Portland hotel. His fewT auditors were
not encouraging, and after a few notes
on another tune he stopped abruptly and.
the window went down with a bang.
From the Imperial hotel late in the
evening trooped a lone band, the Yeldus
temple crowd of Aberdeen. S. D. It
formed in the street and marched away,
the thump of its drum sounding almost
as melancholy aa a funeral march. At
its head marched a sign bearer carrying
the slogan. "We Are Going Now Port
land Will Never Be Forgotten."
And the man who stood in contempla
tion of the sight vknew a scene had just
been enacted in Portland's history on
which the curtain will be down for many
years. Not until the Shrine comes again
will such a tremendous scene be staged
again. May the day be speeded.
BAILBOAD MM BUSY
Railroads operating Into' the city have
assigned every: employe of 5 the traffic
and passenger departments, wholly to
Shrine train movements today. All day
the Union station was a seething mass
of humanity.
Perspiring megaphone men were shout
ing out trains to the East, to the North
and to the South. The departing visit
ors were yelling and waving farewells.
Dozens of , switch engines t rumbled
through the terminal yards with clang
. ing bells and here and there a single
musician or on occasion a band would
strike up a lilting air.
. It looked like bedlam, but It was a
well ordered bedlam. Over 15,000 visftors
passed through the gates at the station
before midnight Thursday, and 50,000 are
passing through to their trains today.
Every Shrine special train will have de
parted by midnight tonixht. exceDt,El

IRELAND
"We express our profound sympathy
for the rights and aspirations of email
nations and of races, subject to alien
domination. The striving of these for
self-government appeals to the sense of
Justice of the world. The centuries-old
Struggle of Ireland for self-government
is. today, one of the unhappy problems
disturbing mankind. To her. the League
of Nations offers, for the first time In
history, an international tribunal, before1
which she may obtain an impartial
hearing.
"We pledge that, when American rep
resentatives to the League of Nations
are appointed, they shall be Instructed
to bring the affairs of Ireland before
that great tribunal for adjudication." .

DEBT TO OTTB SOLDIERS
'. "Our, people owe to the soldiers and
sailors of the republic, who went forth
to preserve the rights of this nation and
the liberties of mankind, every consider
ation. , " ! . :
'"Those who suffered from .wounds or
sickness should have, behind them,
every dollar of American ' property, as
should those who shall, hereafter,' be

VWe believe that the vast majority of
inose who returned uninjured do not feel
that the services they rendered to man
kind can be compensated by a cash bo
nus; that the honor and glory that for
ever attaches to their achievements
stands superior to price. ; We believe,
however, that it is the duty of this na
tion, fsom its resources of land, to of
fer abundant opportunity to our soldiers
and eailors. We believe that the civil
service law should 'be amended so that
offices of public employment, that- shall
become vacant, should, by a separate
examination,' be first offered to the sol
diers and sailors of the war."'
- "No instrument of. civilization and
progress has been greater than the postal
service, which., besides transmitting per

diffuses written and printed knowledge
and information to all the people. In ad

PROPOSED
PLOT BY
COMMUNIST PARTY
IS NIPPED IN BUD
Washington June 26.r-(I.iN;. S.)---
Armed, rebellion "by . theworking
class, against the capitalist ' govern
ment Is a plank. In .the platform
adopted- in a secret, convention of
the ' newly formed 'united commun
ist party held recently, in the United
States at the request of the Amster
dam, Holland,' headquarters, accord
ing to ; documents made public to
day, ,by the' department of justice.
.exact date was announced by the de
partment. It was stated that the. con
vention lasted a week and was attended
by 69 delegates from all parta of the
.United States. The delegates met under
assumed names.
A significant feature of the documents
is the statement, that none pf the com
munists on the1919 - roll was present, a
fact explained, ; as ""the remarkable
achievement, of the Lusk-Palmer inqul
suion."- . - i . . .
The report states that the United Com'
munist party, ' "making no pretense of
legality, promulgated a declaration, of
revolutionary 'principles,' asserting that
the final struggle between workers and
capitalists will take ' the form , of civil
war and that' it is the- function of the
United Communist party systematically
to familiarize the working class with
the necessity: of armed insurrection as
the only means through which the cap
italist v government can be overthrown.
The - plaintiff denounces the American
Federation of Labor as the "bulwark of
capitalism," condemns the American Le
gion as the enemy of the aims of the
party,, declares itself the "first dear-cut
expression of the revolutionary move
ment that has achieved splendid victory
in Russia." and advocates agitation
among negro- workers "to unite them
with all class conscious workers." - .

For a fortnight's visit to Juneau - and

steamers Jefferson and Tacoma. The
Portlandera are taking the trip on the
Invitation of Ellis Lewis Garretson of
Afifi temple, who was elevated to the
posi tion of Imperial potentate at the
conclave this-- week. - At Juneau the
members of the divan will confer the

performed. Their neglect constitutes a
stain upon the nation.
"We pledge our nominee for president
and our senators and representatives to
at once, provide remuneration on a prop
er American scale of wages for these
faithful servants." "
The League of Nations plank, which
the friends of the president here are to-;
day revising, so as to make it simple
and comprehensive, does not in any way
depart from the president's oft-repeated
plan, and coupled with it Is a thorough
going indorsement of Woodrow Wilson.
The league is characterized as "the sur
est, if not the only, practicable means
of maintaining the permanent peace of
the world and terminating the insuf
ferable burden of' great military and na
val establishments."
It is declared that it wa for this that
"America , broke away from traditional
isolation and spent her blood and treas
ure to crush a colossal scheme of con
quest. -

Cox or Meredith," i -while the original
group which has been for McAdoo from
the start are standing firmly for his
nomination. .
They insist that McAdoo himself has
recognised that the call of country must
supersede personal ' considerations, for
they point to his public statement made
at the time of the withdrawal of his
name from the Georgia primaries, name
ly, no man could refuse- the nomination
for the presidency. :
When McAdoo asked, therefore, "what
more can -X dor the answer made by
forces opposed. to McAdoo was that he
could say he?. wouldn't take the nomina
tion if proffered to him. This, however.
It is argued by his friends, would be
inconsistent with his first declaration
at the time "of the Georgia primaries.
SUPPORTERS ARE STEADFAST '
So, while Mr. McAdoo is earnestly try
ing to prevent his friends here from put
ting him in the embarrassing position
of appearing as a candidate, they are
going ahead with remarkable steadfast
ness to put him in nomination. It may
be excessive sear and it may 'prove
mistaken compliment.., but the folks who
are working for McAdoo here are a loyal
set who will not take no" from Mo
Adoo. They have met, talked the situa
tion over; and planned to go ahead to the
finish. - i
-- Talk of - giving , the vice . presidential
nomination to Victor Murdock of Kan
sas, former Bull Moose leader, comes
from the McAdoo supporters, though
many of themvwould prefer Governor Cox
of Ohio to -go' on , the , ticket with .Mc
Adoo. They insist that the ticket, "Mo-
Adoo and Cox',. would be a. winner.-

JOYFUL TREAT TO
S. J. Fellows, city j engineer . of
Vancouver, B. C, was almost fagged
this morning. He watched the big
floral parade like : thousands of
others, but with a different purpose.
because he is seeking ideas on how
such ': demonstrations ,. are staged.
That he wu not only delighted from
the' , artistic j viewpoint but fairly
staggered by the mechanical prob
lem . involved , was,, Indicated . this
morning when he declared: "It was
the most wonderful display I have
ever, seen.. . . ' - " '
"I ..was struck with. the magnitude of
It. ; It is hard ' to realize there couM be
Such collection, coordination and va
riety in one tremendous (unit. To think
of the creative genius that could con
ceive all those wonderful floats !" he
added in his enthusiasm.; , -
MAKES SPECIAL BTUliT
Fellows "came to Portland especially
to study the parade.' the night , decora
tions of the Shrtners ana incidentally or
public utilities, port improvements ana
highways. ' - ' ' :
"As a Canadian," he said, "l was par
tiHui.riv utrnrlc with the contrast
formed by our mounted'' police force
leading for the first time in a parade on
United States sou. uenina an was me
feeling that it . was just as it should be.
There is no- reason why the military
branch of our countryhould not min

thin continent. . I -
"We should wipe ouf every feeling
that pertains to reslrlcjtion ' and have
common intermingling, or we are all
Anglo-Saxons and have -about the same
ambitions.
SORBT FOB JUDGES"
. "But as to the parade, I felt sorry
for the judges, because the entries were
all so beautiful all the s way through.
"I came down purposely, to learn
something. 'I wanted (particularly to
see your night decorations as well as
your day. I was particularly charmed
with the delicacy of your arrangement.
The system of lighting in . the festival
center is most exquisitely conceived,
thought. It looked as though millions
of stars were shining through the trees
and yet it was not too bright, but just
enough to give a soft touch."
Fellows only recently assisted in the
Northwest pageant of the Hudson's Bay
company, held in Vancouver on the two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
discovery of the bay. In this he die-
displayed a replica of the Galliano ship,
Galliano being the Spaniard -who first
sailed up the coast, ahetgd of Vancouver,
HIGHWAY , SEXT MAGNET
Fellows was In Portland about five
years ago. on a similar mission."
"This time I want to go over the Co
lumbla river highway," he said. "I am
looking i tor ' new ideas everywhere.
want to see what port development is
being 1 carried on ' and, if there are any
additional works being carried out that
will advance the city's interests."
He is at the Multnomah hotel. He
will leave for Seattle Saturday morning.

These points were made before the
commission by . A. C. Dixon, general
manager, of the Booth-Kelly Lumber
company. He testified in behalf bo.h
of the West Coast Lumber Manufactur
ers'-association and the. Willamette val
ley lumber and was on the stand lh
greater part' of the afternoon under di
rect crosH-examlnatlon by J. N. Teal. '
I-ERCEWTAGE RISE PROTESTED
Speaking for West Coast lumbermen,' -
Dixon objected to the percentage in
crease. -He declared that lumber should
not be afcked to stand another increane
while ' passenger rates remained un
changed, disagreed with ratlroad valua
tions, and declared that until railroads
make better use of eMPitt0 they have.
their argument for more revenue for
equipment is faulty.

Members of the commissilon manifest
ed interest when - Dixon declared that

Increased, lumber rates with the pur
pose of stopping western lumber traffic
QUOTES J. C. HTLBBS ,
Chairman Clark wanted to know what
object the railroads could have In kill
ing a large share of their business.
Dixon replied that j. u, tstuDDs, irarnc
manager of the Harrtman lines, and
other rail offjcials, were authority for
his statement.
Stubbs told him the Intention was o
prevent the lumber movement, and that
he had persuaded the railroads to ac
cept his view. This should be done on
the ground that this would conserve
the Western lumben tor the Harrlman
lines, and would also hold lumber until
the owners could get better prices.
Teal asked if Stubbs had reference to
Willamette valley lumber.
LUMBER COST IHCREA8ES
Dixon said while he was particularly
interested in that, Stubbs referred to
stopping the lumber movement from the
entire Pacific coast.
Dixon declared the cost of producing
lumber has increased faster than rail
road costs of operation.- When lumber
sold at 11. the mill cost was $11. Now -lumber
sells at $30 and the mill cost is
130.
""Ever make any money In the busi
ness?" was demanded on cross-examin-tlon.
"Yem, we did last year," was the re
ply. "Xn about four years out of 18
we have made profits."
Teal referred to the testimony before
a congressional committee of Juliu
Kruttachnltt, vice president of the
Southern Pacific, who admitted then
that his lines have ample cars and mo
tive power and protested against orders
for increased equipment by the govern-'
ment railroad administration.
