Says He Did Not Steal Goods.

1t now appears that Joe Watson,
the negro accused yesterday Of steal
ing articles from different stores, is
no thief and the goods have been re-
turned to him. Learning Of the
charges against him, WATSON volun-
tarily summoned the officers to ex-
plain his side of the transaction. From
his story it appears he has incurred
the enmity Of several other colored
people who are attempting to force
him to leave the city and it was
these people who charged that he
had stolen certain articles from stores
where he was doing janitor work and
had attempted to sell them. Watson
claims TO have purchased the goods
in question and the officers ana mer-
chants believe that he did. He is
given a good character by a number
Of prominent business men for whom
he has worked during the year he has
been in Pendleton and these men be-
licve he IS more sinned against than
SHINING watson, however, says to
avoid any further trouble he win leave
Pendleton.

to the disputes of men who want new
roads and those who do not. The pc
tition which forms the principal bone
Of contention is one asking for a pub
lie highway through land owned by

GRAND AUTO PARADE
At ROSE FESTIVAL

With more than $1,0OO.0OO worth of
ears buried beneath millions of rose
blooms and other flowers. with near
ly 1000 beautiful and handsomely
gowned women taking part, the an
nual festival parade of decorated au-
tomobiles passed into history this af-
ternoon as one Of the greatest achieve
mentS of its kind ever undertaken
anywhere or by any city since the
industry was born, says the Portland
Telegram.
There were nearly 500 cars of all
makes sizes, sizes and designs from
the tiniest little electrical runabout
to the large and stately limousine
and the ponderous motor trucks. A
grander spectacle in the world of in
dustry has not been seen here and
it has remained for Portland to es-
tablish a. new record for the entire
country in the magnitude of the dec
GRATED turnout. Other cities have
held decorated automobile parades,
but none has ever had the number
in line that Portland did today in
which nothing but the floral wealth
Of the city played a part in the ar
tistic treatment thereof
Some of the entries IN the COM
petitive classes have been the work
Of decorators for several days past,
and a number of cars represent an
outlay of more than $1,000 simply in
the embellishments put on them for
the afternoons procession.
The city we'll may be proud of the
splendid showing by the Portland Au-
tomobile club which had charge of
the parade. The club has worked for
many weeks in rounding up the pri-
vate owners of cars and the dealers,
and the success with which its efforts
have been met pass beyond the use of
weak and overburdened words to de-
scribe.
Hundreds of men, women and girls
had worked, some of them all night,
to have the flowers fresh and the
decorations at the best wnen the col
umn started. Some of the motor en-
thusiasts employed professional ar
lists and decorators to whip their
cars into shape for the parade. And
everybody was imbued with the idea
that the affair must be made the
| biggest and grandest affair the city
has ever held
While scores upon scores of the
| cars were beautifully dressed up, and
| while every class was we'll filled with
| competing entries, there We're a num-
| Der of special feature cars that at
| tracted the spontaneous and univer-
| sal applause of the unnumbered

Among the finest of the entries was
that of Frank c. Riggs, whose ruge

into a battleship exactly so feet ir

boom to the firing of the guns alone

were fired on the crowds from thi'

The decorations were roses and ceda

Views of London Press

London. July 14-Editorial reviews of the London morning papers on the med flied Ango-Japanese are colored by their attitude toward the Anglo-American ar duration project The Morning Post. which opposes the latter, subjects the revised treaty to severe criticism. It joints out In regar1 to the fourth article Of the revised treaty that when third power proposes to attack either of the aijes it's first step would be to make an arbitration treaty with the other ally. The same procedure would equally be employed if either ally desired to evade it's obligations.
 The Post at the same time professes disbelief in the possibility of a conflict between the United States and Japan and advocates the conclusion of an ar hitration treaty between those two coun- tries.
 The Chronicle. on the other hand. sees cause for nothing but congratulations.
 The other papers. while expressing doubt as to the advisability of the pro- longation Of the alliance. which never has been really popular here. agree in congratulating the government on the re- moval of the special danger of Great Britain becoming involved in quarrel with the United States and heartily well come the new treaty as paving the way to the conclusion of an Anglo American treaty.
 The Times Is confident the great mass or people in the British empire. in the United States ami Japan will rejoice that the great bulwark of peace In the far east has been confirmed, strength- ened and extended"
 Not oftenS' says the Times, does the signature of any treaty bring as- surance of peace to so large a part of civilized mankind"
