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

CRATER LAKE INN
Crater ' Lake hotel has changed

Interest in the concession without res
ervation, to the Crater Lake National
Park company, it was announced to
day. Eric V. Hauser, owner of the Mult
nomah hotel, is president of the com
pany ; Richard W. Price,- manager of
the Multnomah, is vice president and
managing director of the new compa
ny ; Vernon Vawter of Medford is
treasurer, and George Collins of the
same . city is secretary. The consider
ation of the sale was not made public.
WORKIX6 CBEW SEST
The first cew of hotel employes
was sent from Portland today to get
the Crater Lake Inn ready for opening
to the public by July 1. They will
be followed in a week by Manager
Price, who proposes, without modi
fying his , relation to the Multnomah
hotel, to spend the first week of each
month at the inn.
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.
BrS TO OPERATE
The operation of bus service to Cra
ter ' Lake from both Medford and
Klamath Falls has been contracted to
Lee A Williams, Klamath Falls busi
ness men, who have purchased six
seven passenger automobiles from lo
cal dealers with which to operate
the service.
The Crater Lake hotel concession
long has been in dispute due to at'
tacks on the management of A. L.
Parkhurst by Stephen T. Mather, di
rector of th national park service.
The new arrangement is said to be
satisfactory to the national park serv

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."

Tariff Side Show Is Hoax
t at tt 'tt ae s t ? t at
Secret Jugglery Is Exposed
By Elliott Thmrttoa
(Copyright bT Prwa Publiahinc Company,
New York World)
Washington, June 21. 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. -(.
The . body' was1 taken in -' temporary
charge by the -coroner subject to' ar-r
rangements - witW' naval officers-"1 for

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-

Holiday, for Friday
Mayor Baker, In a proclamation
Issued this morning, urged the city to
set aside Friday afternoon as a. half
holiday, "in order that all citlsens may
participate in the Rose Festival- activi

is not only an affair of moment in this
community and on the Pacific slope,
but has assumed a national character,
says the , mayor, pointing to the fact
that the government dispatched war
ships to participate in the flower fiesta

used in each case were identical, which
leads the police to believe the same
gang robbed both places.
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

Dave Lightner. reputed narcotic
peddler and smuggler, has fled on the
steamer Luise Neilsen to Shanghai,
China, according to information re
ceived today by United States Attor- -ney
Lester W. Humphreys. When
Lightner failed to appear in court this
morning when his case was called, his
$2000 bond was forfeited by Judge
Bean. 'The bondsmen are A. Moles

of C. I Hlbsman. The Luise Neilsen
left Astoria on Sunday and is now well
out to sea.
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. Laet Sat
urday he held a conference with fe
eral officials, when he indicated a de
sire to plead guilty. Federal officials
now believe this offer was but a ruse
aimed to throw them off their guard
while he escaped from the country.
WABJftANT ISSUED
Tuesday afternoon when Humphreys
discovered Lightner was missing, but
before he had received the radio from
Captain Velde, he asked Judge Bean
to raise Ughtner's bond to $10,000 and
a bench warrant was Issued. ' , .
If a. second indictment is returned
against Lightner by the grand Jury
now in session, it will only be a .mat
ter of a few days before similar , for
feiture action will be asked on another
bond of 12500. This second complaint
