Washington, July 12. Lorimer as serted that he had spent more thuu $30,000 ot his personal funds advanc ing bis particular hobby, the deep waterway project, and had receipts to show an expenditure of $20,000. He said If It had not been for this "per secution" this great project would have been completed. Liorlmer denounced as a "vile in sinuation" what ho said was the at tempt to connect Howard Shurtleff with the case. lie also bitterly scored the -minority of the committee for the attack on Mines particularly the statement that 'he called up some body at Springfield and Lorimer's election followed." Shortly after 1 o'clock, when Lori mer had spoken nearly three hours, a luncheon recess was .taken nntll 2 o'clock. ' "When the senate convened Lorimer resumed Ills discussion . of Senator Kem'B speech against him. The most vile insinuation that has yet been made against him," Lorimer said was that of Kern's, where the Indi ana senator said a boy, McConn, had been given a Job like Wlsoru and Jan Uus, "to quiet them." "If the statement means anything," Lorimer said, 'it meanB that I have been suborning perjury, and If that Is the meaning of the senntor from In diana, I desire to characterize it as a deliberately false statement. It must either be the truth or a deliberate attempt to mislead the enate." Lorlnicf read from Kern's speech that Lorimer associated practically with some ''notorious and vicious characters," Including "Illnky Dink" Manny Abrams and John Broderlck. This, he said, was stricken from the speech as printed. ' 'Illnky Dink' and I were boys to gether," the senator continued. "I have known John Ilroderick more than 20 years. It Is all right to Blur, but I would suggest to him that 'charity covers a multitude of sins.'" The so-called "confessors" were dis cussed by Lorimer. Tie began with Charles A. White. "If you have any case here, you must stand or fall on White's testi mony," the senator declared, ''It Is in the record that White Is a perjurer, admlted under 0iith that Lee O'Nell Browne was charged with bribing White to vote for Lorimer, when he was on trial in Cook county. All ef forts of the state's attorneys were di rected to proving that fact. The whole case depended on whether White told the truth." At. 4:10 this afternoon, Lorimer, not having completed his defense speech, and being utterly exhausted, the sen ate adjourned until 10 o'clock tomor row. limit Kut Horses. Wenatchoe, Wash., July 12.

THOUSANDS mm of the in n BEAUTIFUL QUEEN AM ' GORGEOUS WIN MOST PARADE A GREAT SUCCESS i King's Float in Old Egyptian Style, Decorated With Lotus and Breathing of the Ancient Nile, Headed Procession- The Queen's Chariot Was One of the Most Artistic Crea- " -tions of the Kind Ever Seen in a Parade White and Purple Was the Color Scheme in Its Decoration, a Tribute to the Elks-Many Other Fine features. With perfect weather assured by the co-operation of the weather man, the official astronomer and The Capi tal Journal, the second day of the seventh annual Cherry Fair opened gloriously for the immense crowds that began to pour into the city at an early hour. At 9 a. m. the Salem Military band, under Bandmaster Tex Stoudenmeyer, began to peal forth the most beautiful strains of music yet heard In the city. At 10 a. m. the first train arrived with many visitors from Portland, bearing three solitury, scared-looking Elks, who were taken in charge by Hon. P. H. D'Arcy, Ed. Hazard, President Sargent and Secre tary Hofer, of the Board of Trade. On the 10:30 train a few more arrived, and with succeeding trains more kept filling up the ranks of the city with their gay purple and cream colored suits. But they were like needles id a haystack, compared to the crowds already here. The Salem crowds were the happy, prosiieroiiB Willamette val ley people, the richest, best people In the world. The great parade between 1 and 2 o'clock was the great feature of the second day of the Cherry Fair. The King's Flout. The parade was headed by the king's float, built in Egyptian style, with heavy columns decorated with the lotus design, and flanked by two cherubim in Assyurian style, as de scribed in the Bible. The king's float was in an old stone color of orange tint, a crude, barbaric symposium In greens, yellows and bes. The float was 24 feet long, and 10 feet wide, the head representing the prow of the Egyptian galley in which Cleopatra entertained Marc Anthony. The As syrian cherubim have men's heads, bulls' bodies and wings of the eagle. The entablature of the Egyptian tem ple forms the top of the king's throne, which 1 between the cherubim. The whole float is heavily festooned with oak. The Moose lodge gave its cos tumes and regalia for the king and at tendants. On the sides of the float are the Egyptian symbols of the winged circle, representing the flight of the soul into eternity. The wings have a Spread of 21) feet. The circle Is en twined with the serpent of Old Nile. The 0. Flout. When Or. Eppley saw the queen's float tills morning in the oKn-ulr studio of Prof. Geo.'L. Schrelber, on the river bank, at IiIb home, where he liaa the finest place In the city to pro duce such works of art, he fell all over himself and kept screaming: "She Is a dream; she Is a dream.'' It was built on Slmouton's fi-cylinder Mitch ell, and the artist In decorating the car made It effective by preserving the automobile lines. This car should have gone to Portland for the Elks' parade, but failure to secure a Ikx car large eiiuugh to hold it prevented Its display. All who were at Portland i say there was nothing in the parades nfactiirers' association, hud a cherry there to equal these floats put up by j pi.lnt'sl motor-car In the parade, and Prof. Schrelber, and bis force of help-la load of Made-ln-Oregnn baking ers, who have worked day and night powder. for two weeks.

The wisteria Is ar ranged In wreaths and drooping gar lands, touched off with gold leaf to give It the royal effect. The head of the motor car has a gigantic elk's antlers peering through a profusion of Japanese cherry blossoms. The au tomobile Is topied with a royal can opy In wisteria, lavender, purple and LIHE STREETS! UNBOUNDED white. This is a further tribute to the Elks' organization, and It should have been seen by the hundred thou sand Elks at Portland.but for unforseen circumstances. The' motor car was apparently drawn by two boy pages, dressed In white silk, drawing the royal car with purple ribbon, and un der the canopy wag, enthroned the queen and her royal, maids, the most beautiful queen ever j seen In Oregon. Two Educational Flouts. Under the urgent leadership of Dr. Eppley, and backed by President Sar fent, of the Cherry Fair committee, two additional floats were constructed by Prof. Schrelber in the "Art No veau" style. TheTnst was the manu al training float and was In pergola effect, topped with beams, represent ing the structural principle of build ing. Boys were at work at three man ual training benches. This float was built in cream and white, touched off with green oak and two large Amer ican flags trailing behind. The other float was also very large, devoted to domestic science. In front was the cooking department, presided over by HorteiiBe Eppley, attended by girls from the cooking classes of the high school. At the back end of the float was the sewing circle, representing needlework, as taught In the public schools. One little girl represented the Garfield maidens of the Garfield school. The king's float waB drawn by four horses, and the others by one team each. Observers of the parade cheered at many points along the street, and thero was nothing to equnl them In tho Portland purmle. Mr. Schrelber has been four or five years at the head ot the art department In tho Salem public schools, and Inaug urated the manual t'nlnliiK depart ment. He" has built floats for several Cherry Fairs, but nothing equal to tills. Features of Parade.
