GRAND LODGE ELECTS OFFICERS. The Grand Lodge of Masons yester day elected officer for the etuming year aa follows: Grand master. Charles B. Wolver ton, Portland. Deputy grand master, Thomas M. Baldwin. Prinevllle. Senior grand warden, George H. Burnett, Salem. Junior grand warden, S. S. Spencer, Eugene. Grand treasurer. "W. A. Cleland, Portland. Grand secretary, James F. Robinson, Portland. J. E. Werlein, Portland, trustee of - the educational fund. Election of officers was the event of consuming Interest In the session of the Grand Lodge of Masons yesterday, and was reached at a late hour in the afternoon. The first- three offices In the gift of the' chief "body of the fra ternity in this state were awarded to Judge C. E. Wolverton, Thomas M. Baldwin and-George M. Burnett, with out opposition. It required more than one ballot to select a grand junior warden, that posi- . tlon being the stepping-stone to higher honors. S. S. Spencer, of Eugene, was elected from the floor of the Grand Lodge. In accordance with the secrecy with which the Masonic fraternity sur rounds its proceedings. It was impos sible to ascertain how many ballots were taken or who were the favored members but it is known that- Henry Koe and W. C. Bristol received compli mentary Dauots. - Installation Conies Today. The officers of the Grand Lodge will be installed during the session of that body today, and soon after assuming the leadership of the fraternity in the state. Grand Master Wolverton wil an nounce his appointments. All of the officers below those elected yesterday are gifts from the chief officer. These officers will also be installed so that the working machinery of the order may be complete when the hour of ad-. Journment is reached this evening. James F. Robinson, grand secretary, and W. A. Cleland. grand treasurer, were re-elected, the former having served the Grand Lodge for more than six years. Neither of them had op position for the positions. Failure of the Grand Lodge to adopt the new constitution recommended by the committee allowed the election of a deputy grand master at this session. The new law provided that the position ! should be an appointive one and should confer no rights of succession to the chair of the master. It has heretofore been customary to consider the deputy as the only available candidate, his se lection being a foregone conclusion. Action Is Postponed. Fearing that the custom might still prevail of following the line of suc cession, and thus conferring on the grand master the power to practically name his own suacessor, the Grand Lodge postponed consideration of the new constitution until next year. Those delegates supporting the move ment to postpone, urged that a step of such tremendous importance In Ma sonry should have full consideration by the Blue Lodge membership, and the matter will be closely studied. It is said to have been 40 years since the rresent constitution was adopted, and while no effort has been made to de viate from the customs of the order, it is urged by the supporters of the mod ern document, that they be brought up .to date. This morning a report will be sub mitted to the Grand Lodge from a committee appointed for the purpose of making the degree work In Oregon uniform in character, the committee having been Instructed to prepare a cipher key for the use of all lodges. At this time the lodges of the state use work from other states, all based upon the same principles but using different language of expression. Eastern Star Received. During the afternoon session of the Grand Lodge a committee-was received from the Grand Lodge of the Eastern , Star, bringing the congratulations of the 'lady Masons" as well as a large offering of beautiful flowers. The com mittee was composed of Past Grand Patron G. M. Hyland and Past Grand Matrons Jennie E. Reaxnes and Mar garet Lutke, the members being accom panied by Most Worthy Grand Matron Ella Simmons Washburn, of Wisconsin, and Past Grand Matron Mrs. Krebs, of California, as guests of honor. The visit was Immediately returned by a Masonic Grand Lodge committee composed of J. R. N. Bell, H. L. Plttock and B. B. Beekman. Past Grand Master D. P. Mason, of Albany, arrived at the convention yes terday afternoon and was Immediately presented with one of the emblematic aprons, which will hereafter be fur nished to each person who attains that high honor. 'Degree Work Scheduled. Portland Lodge! will tonight confer the third degree at Masonic Temple for the benefit of out-of-town members of the Grand Lodge. While the Grand Lodge of Masons is behind with its schedule of work, the Eastern Star is working exactly ac cording to programme, and yesterday afternoon Installed its officers for the ensuing year. The thing of Interest in a legislative way was the fight precipitated by dele gates from cities other than Portland for a migratory Grand Lodge, many of them being desirous of entertaining the distinguished body from year to year. Under the present law, the Grand Lodge is located permanently in Port land. The effort to -hold a meeting elsewhere failed. Charters were allowed to new chap ters at Creswell, Seaside, Portland, Ranier, Bandon and Myrtle Creek. The principal officers of each of the chap ters were present and installed. Tonight the tents of the faithful of the tribe of Al Kader, nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will be open to the Moslem of every clime, and It is pro posed to prepare the. way for the cara Machinists Return to Iron Works as Nonunion Men.' Serenity apparently prevails at the Willamette Iron & Steel Works as re gards the machinists' strike, for yes terday there was a force of 40 men em ployed in the machine shops, and it was said that most of them were old em ployes and more had applied for po sitions. Though the men walked out recently as a means of forcing the corporation to recognize 8 hours as a maximum work ing day, those re-employed- are labor ing 9 hours, and some of them say they have decided that the only method to be pursued is to work for a universal 8-hour day by legislative enactment. "While we have employed as high as 100 machinists and apprentices in the machine shop, -we have not work for such a force at present and are turn ing out without difficulty the contracts we had accepted," said Treasurer Ball yesterday. "Our men are satisfied so far as we have ascertained, and we feel that we have gained an important point toward establishing an 'open shop,' for every machinist at work is a non union man. Some of them have be longed to the organization for a long period and others joined shortly before the strike, but those who applied for places have withdrawn their cards." Until the labor difficulty is settled the corporation does not propose to ac cept any large contracts, and the offi cials say they do not expect trouble from other departments in the plant.

Smith sued, through George W. Collins, for $518.38, which he alleged to be due him as attorneys tf.es. Mrs. Russell said she did not employ him, but that he offered to assist .her In obtaining some Insurance money after her husband ded.

FISH FACTIONS AT ODDS M'ALXJSTER'S RESIGNATION PRECIPITATES FIGHT ANEW. Upper River Men, as Opposed to Glllnetters, Believed to Lead in Choice of Successor. With State Master Fish Warden Mc Allister on his way to San Francisco to tender his resignation to Governor Benson, speculation is rife here regard ing which of the fishing interests, the lower or the upper "river men, will have the greater Influence in naming his successor. The belief is expressed that the upper river men will be vic tors in the fight which will follow Mc Allister's resignation. . The seinemen, the trapmen and the wheelmen, who are opposed to the gill netters, now have the greater influ ence, or would be expected to have, In the settlement of such questions. The wheelmen represent the capital and are located up the river. Aligned with them are seine and trapmen. who have a common enemy In the Fishermen's Union, or the giilnetters, as they are more commonly called. Speculation in this reBpect transcends even the identity of the probable suc cessor. It is believed that the lower river men were not advised previously of McAllister's Intention and have not agreed on any one maci. . McAllister, while professing to be neutral, is said to owe, in part, his position to the up per river men and the commercial trav elers of the state. The naming of his successor is believed to be one of the reasons for his trip to San Francisco. The question as to who will have the appointing power is unsettled. Jay Bow. erman, president of tue State Senate, now Acting Governor, will have a great deal to say, It is possible. His atti tude is not disclosed. McAllister, -it Is said, has received an offer of the management of the affairs Of the Home Rule Association of Ore gon, - which is opposed to prohibition, at a salary of $6000 a year, with a two years' contract. He rejected the offer several days ago. it is said, but was influenced to consider It again. IF YOU ARE GOING EAST You Better Arrange Now. June 17 and 24. July 5 and 22. Aug. 3.
