NEW YORK, Sept. 21. An extra
ordinary term of the supreme court
In Queens county was convened to
day, with Justice Garret J. Garret
son presiding, to facilitate the trial
of the Halns brothers for the murder
of William E. Annls. Attorneys for
Captain Peter and Thornton Jenkins
Halns will likely attempt to delay
the trial as long as possible and it is
unlikely that the brothers will face
judge and Jury before next month or
November. The special term of
court was ordered by Governor
Hughes In order that the Halns
brothers might be tried without un
necessary delay.
Justice Gnrretson, who will pre
side at the Halns trial, bears the re
putation of having been the first
judge' to decide that both men and
women are to he Judged by a single
standard of morality and that a
man's good name Is just as precious
as a woman's. .

Oregon lias lost a splendid citizen,
the Roseburg city council one of its
most useful members. Odd Follow
ship in Oregon one of Its best and
ruiy untiring workerB and the S.
P. K. R. Co one of its most elllclent
and trusted employes. This loss was
occasioned by the sudden death of
Robert Robertson In tlis city last
Saturday evening.
Mr. Robertson had been In poor
health for the past two years, but
had been attending to his regular
duties as iiHiial about the 8. P.
round house and yards all day Satur
day. While he was known to be
suffering from his ailment he appear
ed more Jovial than usual at the
(dose of his day's work between five
and six o clock In the evening. Short
ly after eight o'clock that evening he
Htarted from his home at the foot
of Mosher street to go to the reg
ular meeting of Philetarian lodge,
No. 8, I. O. O. K., as was h is unfail
ing rustom. - Proceeding alone he
reached a point opposite the home of
Jos. Roberts, at the corner of Lane
and Flint streets, something over
two blocks from his home. There he
was evidently overcome by a sudden
attack of herm failure and sank
down, never to aRain arise. The two
Rn;;itiPon ltro., locomotive firemen,
thus found him a few moments later,
breathing with great difficulty. Mr.
Roberts wan called out of the house
and together they carried the unfor
tunate man inside, when the last
fleeting gasps showed that life was
departing. A 'phone call quickly
brought Ir. Heely to the scene, but
of no avail. He announced that
death ensued from diabetic coma.
This sudden and unexpected climax
resulted from an ailment of long
duration, as heretofore stated.
A telephone message advised the
lodge of what had occurred, and al
though they were about ready to be
gin Mime degree work an adjourn
, ment was immediately taken and
i most of the members hurried to the
side of the lifeless form of their
strlrken leader. Mrs. Robertson, un
aware of any untoward hapenlrig
had meanwhile gone no town, wherp
she was nought out by lady friends
nnd neighbors, who accompanied her
home at about the same time th
lodge members arrived. Loving
hands carried the lifeless body of
Mr. Robertson to his own home and
e"ry itosslble aid and comfort werf
riven to Mrs. Robertson and th-
stricken family.
Ifobert Robertson s born at KM-
0
Mrnle, Ayrshire. Scotland, Oct. 8,
1S64, and died In Roseburg, Oregon,'
Sept. 19, 1908. He was married in
Portland, Oregon, about IS years
ago, his wife aluo belnr a native of
Ayrshire. They Unit came to Hose
burg over 10 years ago. where they
Imve since resided, except during an
Interval of less than two years spent
In Portland. Ever since their return
Mr. Robertson had been the Muster
Mechanic for the S. P. H. R. Co.,
hnvlng full charge of their round
house, Bhops and yards In this city.
He had been engaged In rnllroad
20orkof,owrrr wlreTenrTn'u:,"
state. He was one of the S. P. Co'a.
moat valuable and trusted employes,
and was held in the highest esteem
by all the men employed on the S. P.
lines In Oregon with whom he came
In contact. He had that quiet, un
assuming manner and happy turn of
disposition that won the friendship
of all, from the general manager
down to the humblest section hand.
His work here Is now in charge of
IT V. rinvAB nrtm noma hul-o (V,ii
Portland about a year ago. Mr.
llayeB will probably be promoted to j
the position of Master Mechanic. In
charge of the local shops, etc
Among the fraternal organizations, 1
Mr. Robertson had a state-wide repu-:
tatlon. At the time of hln death he
was the Grand High Priest of the
Grand Encampment I. O. O. P. of
Oregon, the next to the highest oillce
in the order, and had he lived until
next Mny he would have been ad
vanced to the position of Grand
Patriarch, the presiding officer of the
grand jurisdiction of Oregon. He
had also been a member of the
Grand Lodge of Oregon, I. O. O; P.,
for over 10 years, and was known
as being perhaps the best lodge
worker In tho state. Ills exceptional
ability as a drill mastor, for putting
on team work, In all branches of the
order, was known and recognized
throughout the jurisdiction. Locally
he was ;: member of Philetarian
Lodge Im.. 8, I. O. O. P., Union En
campment No. 9, nnd Roseburg Re
bekah Lodge No, 41. Resides these
he was a member of Protection Tent
No. lit, K. O. T. M and waB Its first
Commander. In this order he car
ried an insurance of $2000. He was
also a member of the Woodmen of
the World, belonging to Multnomah
Camp No. 77, In Portland, nnd car
ried therein an Insurance of 93000.
Ho was an active member of the
Caledonian Club, of Portland, a
Scottish fraternal organization, and
was one of Its past presidents.
In business affairs Mr. Robertson
was an Important factor. He was
president or the Roseburg Rochdale
Co., and one of Its organizers In
190G. Ho was a member of the
board of directors of the Roseburg
National Rank and a City Council
man from the Third Ward for the
past four years. In addition to nil
these he was a member of the
"Hall Committee" having In charge
the business aff ifrs of the I. O. O.
P. building In this city. In nil of his
business relations he merited the
same high esteem that was accorded
him In fraternal circles and he had
the unbounded confidence of his as
sociates, as a man of sterling honesty
and sound judgment.
Two somewhat remarkable coinci
dences are noted In connection with'
Mr. Robertson's death. One is that
It occurred on the 4fith anniversary
of the birth of Mrs. Robertson and
tho other that It was the 21st anni
versary of Mr. Robertson's Initiation
as a member of Royal Encampment
I. O. O. P., at Hamilton, Ontario.
Mr. Robertson 1b survived by his
wife and four children, viz: James,
Lillian It., Alexander W. and Robert,
Jr. He nlso has a brother In Canada
and two sisters in Scotlnnd.
Thp funeral will be held at the
I. O. O. P. temple In this city at
3 o clock p. ro., Tuesday, under the
auspices of the Grand Encampment
I. O. O. P. of Oregon, led by Grand
Patriarch E. J. Seeley, of Albany.
Ir. J. A. Townsend will deliver a
short nddretta on behalf of the Pres
byterian church, of which Mrs. Rob
ertson is a member. Rev. E. H.
Hicks wltl aluo speak on behalf of
Philetarian Iidge. I. O. O. P. Inter
ment will follow In the Odd Fellows'
cemetery.
Out of respect to Mr. Robertson
the City Council will Immediately ad
journ upon assembling for their reg
ular meeting tonight. HI ml In r action
will probably also be taken by Rose
burg Rebekah Lodge on Tuesday ev
ening. Mrs. Robertson Is the presid
ing officer of that lodge and Is now
serving her second term In that ca
pacity. Likewise the proposed cele
bration of the fiOth anniversary of
that branch of the order, announced
for Tuesday evening, has been Inde
finitely postponed. We understand
several of the local business houses
will be closed tomorrow afternoon
during the hour for the funeral and
the Rochdale Company store will be
closed all day.
Resides Grand Encampment ofltc
ers from abroad, several of Mr. Rob
ertson's jtersonal friends from Port
land and elsewhere, an well as rntl
way officials and others, will be here
to pay last respects to their highly
esteemed friend and unite with our
home people In condolences for the
loss of so valuable a citizen as Mr.
Robertson.
In every walk of life his loss Is
Irreparable. In fraternal circle the
sorrow Is especially keen, and after
early a quarter of a century thus
hlient by hlrn in the betterment of
hiimnnlty It w-enis strangely fitting
that his last effort in life was an en-
deavor to once more attend a meeting
