the Elks' organization, and 1t should
have been seen by the hundred thou
sand Elks at Portland, but for unforeseen
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 was enthroned the
queen and her royal maids, the most
beautiful queen ever seen in Oregon.
Two Educational Floats.
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. Schneider In the cart No
veau" style. The first 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
Hortense 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 kings float was drawn by
four horses. and the others by one
team each Observers Of the parade
cheered at many points along the
street, and there was nothing to equal
them in the Portland parade. Mr.
Schreiber has Lecu fonr or five years
at the head OF the art department in
tho Salem public schools, and haus-
urated the manual training depart
ment. He has built floats for several
Cherry Fairs, but nothing equal to
this.

Washington, July 12.-Lorimer as
serted that he had spent more than
$4,000 of his personal funds advanc-
ing his particular hobby, the deep
waterway project, and had receipts to
show an expenditure of $4,000. He
said if it had not been for this per
secution' this great project would
have been completed.
Lorimer denounced as a 'vile in
sinuation" what he said was the at
tempt to connect Howard Shurtleff
with the case. He also bitterly scored
the minority OF the committee for the
attack on Hines-particularly the
statement that he called up some
body at Springfield and Lorimers
election followed"
Shortly after o'clock, when Lori
mer had spoken nearly three hours, a
luncheon recess was taken until 2
O'Clock.
When the senate convened Lorimer
resumed his discussion of Senator
Kern's 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 boy, McConn, had
. been given a job like Wisom and Jan
dus, TO quiet them.
eff the statement means anything,
Lorimer said, ut means that have
been suborning perjury, and If that
is the meaning Of the senator from In
diana, desire to characterize it as a
deliberately false statement. 1t must
either be the truth or a deliberate
attempt to mislead the senate"
Lorimer read from Kern's speech
that Lorimer associated practically
with some notorious and vicious
characters" including "Hinky Dink"
Nanny Abrams and John Broderick,
This, he said was stricken from the
speech as printed.
" "Hinky Dink and were boys to-
gether,' the senator continued. 81
have known John Broderick more than
20 years. 1t is all right to slur, but
1 would suggest to him that charity
covers a multitude of sins"
The so-called "confessors" we're dis
cussed by Lorlmer He began with
Charles A. White.
'1f you have any case here, you
must stand or fall on Whites testi-
mony" the senator declared, '1t Is In
the record that White is a perjurer
admitted under oath that Lee oNeil
Browne was charged with bribing
White to vote for Lorimer, when he
was on trial in Cook county All ef-
forts Of the states attorneys we're di.
rected to proving that fact. The whole
case depended on whether White tolt
the truth"
At 4:1O this afternoon, Lorimer, moi
having completed his defense speech
and being utterly exhausted, the sen
ate adjourned until 10 O'Clock tomor

With perfect weather assured by
the cooperation of the weather man,
the official astronomer and The Capt.
tai 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 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 solitary,
scared-looking Elks, who were taken
in charge by Hon. p. II. Darcy, Ed
Hazard, President Sargent and Secre-
tary Hofer, of the Board of Trade. On
the 1890 train 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 in
a haystack, compared to the crowds
already here. The Salem crowds were
the happy, prosperous Willamette val
ley people, the richest, best people in
the world.
The great parade between and 2
o'clock was the great feature Of the
second day of the Cherry Fair.

The Kings Float.

The parade was headed by the
kings 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 kings float
was in an old stone color of orange
tint, a crude, barbaric symposium in
green's, yellows and blues. The float
was "a feet long, and 10 feet wide, the
head representing the prov of the
Egyptian galley in which Cleopatra
entertained Marc Anthony. The AS
syrian cherubim have mems heads,
bulls bodies and wings of the eagle.
The entablature of the Egyptian tenn
pie forms the top of the kings throne,
which Is between the cherubim. The
whole float is heavily festooned with
oak. The Moose lodge gave its cos
tunes 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 q
Spread Of 20 feet. The circle is en-
twined with the serpent of Old Nile.
