RACING BOftT LEAPS I Festival Crowds Thrilled by Un expected Action of Volger Girl in Regatta; Driver Comes Up Safely Beside His Craft. Thousands watching this afternoon saw the Volger Girl, leading boat in the first race of the Rose Festival re gatta, leap completely out of the water as it attempted to make the turn at the end of the first lap and turn over in midair, coming down on the water again bottom side up. . The Vogler Girl is a speedboat of the It-foot class and its driver was Orth MathilL Those straining their eyes from Morrison street bridge and the docks along the river saw Mathilt's head pop up alongside the capsized boat and he waved his hand. The harbor patrol and George Ken dall's boat, the Sylph, put out from shore to give assistance. The other two boat3 in the race stopped and re turned to hjelp their unlucky foe. The Vogler Girl was towed to the motor boat club house wharf .on the east side and th race was postponed until later in the afternoon, following the other events, Bridges, docks and housetops over looking the river were black with hu manity when it came time for the re gatta to open, at 1 :30 o'clock Qtieen Harriet of Rosaria, who Tues day was crowned queen of all lands where roses blow, ordered today that her merry people gather along the waterfront between the Hawthorne and Morrison bridges this afternoon, to watch the races between the speediest boats in her empire, and the water sports of her cleverest swimmers. Thousands found places where they could overlook the rac courses. The populace seems to like to gather at the river. Masses were attracted by the river pageant Tuesday morning as they are for the regatta today. BOATS ABE SPEEBT Boats that are among the fastest in the country took part today. Fred W. Vogler was the director in charge, with Roy T. Bishop admiral of the fleet and Ralph Staehll chief aide. Liveliness was the spirit of the - afternoon, with as much to see as at a three ring' circus during the S hours and 25 minutes of entertainment. The official viewing stand was on the Bel mont street quay. - But Queen Harriet directed that enough . women to pack The Audito rium either not attend the regatta or else leave early, enough to be on hand when Miss Alice Robertson, congress woman from Oklahoma, the only (Concluded an Page Tone, Column One) CRATER LAKE INN Crater ' Lake hotel has changed hands.

The ownership of the Crater Lake hotel concession is now lodged entire ly in Oregon and chiefly in Portland; At a meeting of the stockholders scheduled to be held in Portland Sat urday morning, it was said that changes which would more completely establish local control probably would be made.

' NAR TURNS OVER CHANGES HANDS Entered a 8eecad-Clas Matter at Poatoffiee. Portland. Oregon S C 5 ' y -- , : RUSSIA TO INVITE L Moscow, June '21. (I. N. S.) The first official admission that soviet Rus sia may make further concessions to the allied powers at The Hague confer ence was made here today by Leonid Krassin, people's commissary for trade and commerce. He qualified this an nouncement, however, by saying that the concessions must be mutual. "Russia expects little from the con ference at The Hague," said Krassin. "The European powers are unable to grant credits to soviet Russia, but we hope to show at The Hague how private capitalists stand in Russia." It was at this point that Krassin said that Russia might make additional concessions if the allied powers would make similar concessions to Russia. He continued : "Russia is not ready to close oil con tracts with the British until Americans are given an opportunity to bid. "We hope within a year to meet American business men as well as American manufacturers." Fireman Who Lost His Life at Fire Will Be Buried Thursday Final arrangements to hold the funeral of James S.

The Republi can tariff show, wherein was seen a cuckoo clock, a patented briar pipe, a pair of hair clippers and an array of similar articles, proves on investigation to be in the nature of a hoax. By a simple but effective ' bit of Jugglery Republican leader in the senate -so twisted facts and figures as to make it appear- that importers,, department stores and other, enemies of the Fordney-McC umber tariff bill; have been reaping profits of 1000 to 2000 per cent and more. . The purpose Is to make -the public believe that profiteers are the chief an tagonists of -the exorbitant tariffs pro posed. Then, Dy charging the news papers with being In the power of the profiteers, the high tariff "champions proceed to explain the condemnation: which the press has heaped upon the bill. TEICK EXPLAINED - With each of the exhibits go certain receipts and custom house .Invoices, The cuckoo clock,- for example, is shown by the receipt to have sold at retail for $22. Th custom house . in voice indicates that it was. valued at; the equivalent of M cents in German Boatswain's Body Recovered From Willamette- River City Grappler Hugh Brady recovered the body of H. B." Conroy, boatswain's mate of the II. S. S. Connecticut, shortly before 1 p. m. today after the Willamette river had been' dragged for 2 hours near the spot under . the Morrison bridge where he toppled from the'deck of the motor launch Santa Maris Tuesday noon. , Deputy Coroner" Leo Goetsch could find no - indication that Conroy had been Injured In the fall - from the boat to the water, and the mystery of the drowning is no nearer solution than before. Conroy was known "to "his shipmates as a strong swimmer. The first theory was i that ho ' had - struck his ; head against the rail or boat when he was toppled by a sudden . Jerk, of the craft which had been convoying Queen Har riet's - rose : festival barge. -(.

' jjf 4 4ri- money. This looks like clear proof. But here is the trick : The tariff show producers assert that 94 cents was the purchase price abroad of the cuckoo clock and that, therefore, the retailer made a profit of 2240 .per cent. All who saw the clock exhibited smiled at the idea that It could be bought for such a price. The truth is that 94 cents is only the' price in terms ef exchange . at the time of , importation, which, since de liveries from Germany . are now very slow, was - undoubtedly a vastly dif ferent thing from the actual purchase figure. MARK DEPRECIATES As an illustration, the German mark has depreciated within a period of less than a year from 2 cents down to three-tenths of a cent. Accordingly, an article, costing 1000 marks, con tracted for when the mark was 2 cents, actually cost 320, but if that article arrived in this country when the mark had dropped to three-tenths of a cent the invoice would seem . to indicate that the cost was but $3. It could not be bought at that equivalent in Ger many now because prices have risen with the depreciation of the mark. If the merchant who bought the ar- ( Continued oa face Sixtoan.

Entrance to the shoe company was gained by Jimmying a rear door, which ; opens on a court between the build ing occupied by the shoe company and -the Hippodrome theatre. The burglars broke open the - shoe company's safe with sledge hammers and chisels. The safe is of a modern type, made of sheet steel. It is about ' five feet tall. It is placed oa the balcony at the front of the store against the east wall, overlooking Morrison street. The burglars first pounded off the combination knob and then used steel drills to break the combination tumblers. According to Inspectors Coleman and Collins, expert detectives on burg lar cases, the Job was comparatively easy. Except for the wrecked com bination knob and tumblers, the sate was not damaged. ; The burglars overlooked 3400 In Lib-' erty bonds in the safe, a quantity of Jewelry, including a diamond ring, ani did not molest 31500 in checks. The bonds and Jewelry belonged to em ployes, i ' ; Nothing else in the offices was dis turbed, apparently, Frank Orata and Frank Caramanlc, Janitors employed by the shoe company, discovered the doors of the safe open about 7 o'clock and called for the police.

FOOLED OFFICERS - Humphreys has wired Attorney -General Daugherty requesting that Light ner -be arrested when the boat docks at Shanghai. Captain Velde in his ' reply to Humphreys' message offered to render any assistance the govern ment might deaire. His message indi cated, however, that he had not men tioned the matter to Lightner. Lightner was supposed to hsve stood trial on an indictment charging him with a conspiracy to smugglexflOS.OOO worth of narcotics into this country ' from a Japanese steamer.

Federal officials now believe this offer was but a ruse aimed to throw them off their guard while he escaped from the country.
