Celebration of 50th Anniversary
of Philetarian Lodge
HUNDREDS OF ODD FELLOWS
United la Tbls Golden Jubilee Occasion
; . e Able Addresses and Happy
Features Enjoyed ' .
' Unquestionably the most notable
event In the history of Odd Fellow
ship In - Southern Oregon was the
celebration ot the "Golden Jubilee"
ot Philetarian Lodge No. 8, in. this
city, Tuesday, evening. Several hun
dredl' Odd Fellows ot this city and
county, as well as some from abroad,
were." In attendance. The hall was
very handsomely and appropriately
decorated for the occasion. Broad
streamers in the lodge colors radiated
from the center of the hall, while
across the entire front, at the edge
of the rostrum were handsomely
draped archways surmounted by ban
ners portraying the emblems of the
ordor. Above the center was .an arch
with the word "welcomo" spelled out
with electric lights. Beneath hung
the big lodge banner, Inscribed:
"Philetarian. Lodge No. 8, I. O. O. F.
Instituted March 9, 1859, Roseburg,
Oregon." At either side were pen
ants in the lodge colors upon which
were painted appropriate to the occa
sion, "March 9, 1869" and "March
9, 1909." the whole- presenting a
striking, yet harmonious, ensemble.
The program was opened with a
selection by the Elks' orchestra, fol
lowed by singing the "Opening Ode"
by the lodge and an eloquent invoca
tion by Rev. E. H. Hicks. On the
rostrum with Grand Master Ed. Hos
tetlor, of The Dalles, were W. T.
Wright, P. G., and F. E. Cavender,
P. O. The latter briefly extended a
corCial welcome to all, on behalf of
Philetarian lodge. Mr. Wright was
master of ceremonies.
Grand Master Hostetler then deliv
ered an nblo address on "20th Cen
tury Odd Fellowship." During his
talk he reviewed the great growth of
the order since its Inception in Balti
more, Maryland, 90 years ago. From
Its first organization there with but
flvo members, It has grown to be the
greatest fraternal order In existence,
with about 1,600,000 members, scat
tered throughout the civilized world,
a great preponderance of whom dwell
in the United States. Philetarian
jlodge was highly commended upon
the splendid success it has attained
during Its career of half a century
and was credited with having set the
-pace for the entire Oregon Jurisdic
tion. This lodge with 3U4 memoers,
and Rising Star lodge of Roseburg,
with about 170 members, both locat
ed in a city of 5000 people. wlth per
haps as many more residents wunin
a radius of a few miles, have accom
plished a work in advancing the
cause of the principles of "Friendship,
Love and Truth" that, if equalled
throughout the. state would give the
Oregon Jurisdiction 100,000 members
instead of about 16,01)0 memDers
is the actual result today. The mem
bers were urged to study the work
of the order carefully and thus be
able to Impart its teachings in a cap
able manner whenever occasion re
quired. This work moans a better
citizenship and a general uplift for
humanity.
A vocal quartette by Messrs. Mc
Cord. Bell, Blackman and McCord,
and a vocal solo by E. L. Jewett, was
followed by a brief sketch of the
early history of this lodge, by Hon
J. C. Fullerton, P. O. Of the six
charter members, he knew all of them
personally when a boy, having locat
ed here with his father s family In
September, 1868: These were I. N.
Choynskl, a clerk in one of the gen
eral merchandise stores here at that
time; Crawford Gaddls, cabinetmak
er and wagon maker and afterwards
county judge. It waa on the second
floor of his shop on Douglas Btreet
nearly opposite the present Lane
school, that this lodge was institut
ed. 'E. S. Kearney was a son-in-law
of the late Aaron Rose, founder of
Roseburg and later became U.
Marshal far the state of Oregon. J.
Q. C. Vanden Bosch lived at Canyon
vllle, an important stage station of
pioneer days. Joel Thorn lived
the Umpqua river above Canyonvllle.
Rufus Mallory was a school teacher
in Roseburg and while living here
was admitted to the practice of law.
Later he removed to Portland and
- afterwards waa elected as congress
man from this state. Of these six
charter members he alone now sur
vives, being a member of the widely
known law firm of Dolph. Mallory,
Simon & Gearln, of Portland. All
were sturdy, honorable pioneers.
Hon. J. J. Walton, P. O. M.. of
Eugene, who was to have been the
next speaker, was detained at borne
at the last moment by a severe cold
His place was filled by Hon. B.
Dorrls. P. O., of Eugene, who has
the distinction of being one ot the
oldest Odd Fellows In the state, bar
Ing Joined the order 68 years ago on
the 20th day of last February. He
related some very interesting per
sonal experiences In the order dur
ing his more than halt a century of
merarjersnip and was eloquent in
portraying the vast amount of good
In the world which tbls great order
as accomplished. While Mr. Dorrls
has seen many years in this world he
Is one of those bright specimens of
humanity who never grow old. He
urged his hearers to continue in their
good work for the uplift of their fel
low men and In their dally llvese to
live up to those grand precepts In
scribed on the Seal ot the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, to-wlt: "We command
you to visit the sick, relieve the dis
tressed, bury the dead and educate
the orphan." His remarks were
greeted with the heartiest applause.
A selection by the orchestra was
followed by an address by D. O.
Palm, P. G., of Rising Star lodge. He
expressed his pleasure at having the
opportunity of addressing so repre
sentative an assembly, and congrat-
iatea fnuetarlan lodge upon the de
cided success It had attained in its
work upon reaching Its first , half-
century milestone. Referring to Ris
ing Star lodge, which In its first five
years of existence has attained a
membership of nearly 170, he said if
this eame annual rate of growth is
maintained until It celebrates Its 60th
anniversary it will have attained a
membership of about 1100.
Hon. John M. Williams, of Eugene.
grand senior warden of the Grand
Encampment of Oregon, waa next In
troduced. His enthusiasm in the
work ot Odd Fellowship has recently
been enhanced by the fact that his
son, who reached his 21st birthday
only about six weeks ago, and un
der which age no one can join tho
order, has already taken all .the de
grees of the subordinate lodgo and of
the Encampment branch as well, aud
beyond doubt, the youngest man
n the state to reach so high a rank
In the order.
Artother song by the quartette was
followed by a very able address on
Fraternity," by Rev. E. H. Hlckfc.
It Is generally acknowledged that
this was one ot the best efforts In Its
Hue ever heard here. It abounded
In the soundest of thoughts along
fraternal lines, as applied to every
day life, and was delivered In -his
universally pleasing manner." This
was enlivened by numerous apt Illus
trations which at times convulsed his
hearers with laughter, and Interspers
ed here and there were flights of elo
quence the equal of which are sel
dom heard. It was Rev. Hicks' final
effort before a Roseburg audience
and he fairly outdid himself on this
occasion and his listeners sat In wrapt
attention. He departed on the early
morning train to take charge of bis
new pastorate In Tucson. Arizona. .
Music by the orchestra closed the
regular program. All present were
given tickets to the 8tar Theatre,
which, through the courtesy of tho
managers, Flint & Johnson, was on-
ened to the Odd Fellows on this oc
casion and their entire regular pro
gram was repeated for their benefit
from 10:30 p. m., until a late hour,
Meanwhile bounteous refreshments
were served in the banquet room, and
social features were enjoyed. For
two hours this wag continued, those
present -enjoying the theatre or parr
taking of a splendid supper, passing
from one to the other as their
several Inclinations directed. All
expressed themselves as having high
ly enioyea mis memorable occasion. ,
In a large degree the success of
this affair was due to the efforts of
the committee on arrangements, who
overlooked nothing that would add to
the comfort or enjoyment of those
present. This committee consisted
of W. T. Wright, chairman: N. T.
Jewett, secretary; Hon. J. C. Fuller-
ton, H. W. Strong, L. Wlmberly. F.
E. Cavender and 8. C. Miller. Every
member and guest . was presented
with a handsome emblematic souve
nir program, which also contained a
complete roster of the membership
of the lodge as well as a list of Its
charter members. This occasion re
flects credit on the active and pro
gressive spirit or Odd Fellowship pre
valent In this portion of Oregon.
All efforts have failed to nnd ft

lung troubles than Koleya Honey

the lungs and prevents serious re
sults from a cold. J. N. Patterson
Narbua, Iowa, writes: "Last winter
I had a bad ce'd on my lungs and
tritd at least half a dozen advertised
cough mrdiclnes and had treatment
from two physicians without getting
any benefit. A friend recommended

CHICAGO, March 10. The famou')
case of the United States against the
Standard Oil Company, on an indict
ment charging the acceptance of re
bates on oil shipments over the lines
of the Chicago & Alton Ralroad, came
to a sudden close today, when the
Jury, upon motion of the govern
ment's attorneys, rendered a verdict
of acquittal. This was tho second
trial of the case, and the verdict re-
turned wipes out the record-breaking
fine ot $29,240,0000 Imposed by
Judge Kenesaw M. Landis at the first
trial, when the Standard was con
vlctcd on a total of 14C2 counts. The
retrial of the case was presided over
by Judge Albert 13. Anderson, of
Indianapolis, and his rulings were
such' that the government's attorneys
considered it Impossible to secure a
conviction.
Judge Anderson's Ruling.
Ten days ago. Judge Anderson
made the ruling which gave the pro
jecutlon its' first setback. The
Standard's attorneys demanded that
the number of counts on which lines
could be Imposed if convictions were
obtained be made specific, and Judge
Anderson's decision reduced the
Iglnal numbers of counts from 1462
to 36. On yesterday, the govern
ment's case received Its death blow,
when Judge Anderson held that the
government must prove' that thero
was a standard rate for oil shipments
between Whiting, Ind., and East St.
Louis at the time of the offense with
which the defendant waa charged
and that the defendant knowingly ac
cepted a lower secret rate. The court
declared that the government must
convince him that It would be able to
prove this.
The prosecution then asked for
time In which to amend the Indict.
ment, but upon appearance In court
today the impossibility of securing a
conviction under Judge Anderson
Piling was adit Ittrd by 'he gnve-u
ment's attorneys snd they according
ly asked for a dlsiriesal of the case.
Jury Acta Quickly.
"Is It true that on the evidence so
far presented It will be Impossible to
convict the defendants, asked Atty
Wlllkerson. of the prosecution, in the
court this morning.
'It Is." replied Judge Anderson.
"Then there la no use of going on
with the cafe." said Wilkerson. "Th
government rests."
The defense then moved for an Id
structed verdict of acquittal, and th
jury waa called In to pass upon th
motion. A verdict of not guilty
was promptly returned.
History of the fate.
The Indictment on which the con
vlctlon of the Standard Oil Coropan
of Indiana was obtained at the first
trial was one ot ten true bills return
ed by the federal grand Jury on Aug
ust 29, 1906. Thero wore 1903
counts In this, indictment, 441 of
wlikh subsequently were stricken
from the record by Judge Landis..
These counts concornod shipments ot
oil from the. company's refinery at
Whiting, lnd., to East St. Louis and
St. Louis at. rates, which, It was
shown, were lower than the publish
ed tariffs. The period covered by the
Indictment was from September,
1903, to March, 1905. The defense
maintained that the legal Interstate
rate was six cents, while it .was shown
that tho legal rate -per hundred
pounds to East St. Louis was eighteen
cents. The trial lasted six weeks,
three tonsof documentary evidence
was submitted to the jury, Including
more than 15,000 way bills, shipping
orders, receipts aud records. The
jury was Bworn In on March 5, 1907.
and on April 13, after being out two
ours and ten minutes, the Jury re
turned a verdict of guilty on 1462
countB. . .' .. , ;
Judge Landis then Imposed a fins
of $29,240,000, the largest fine ever
Imposed by any court. This wh3 re-
veised by the appellate court, And un
Iiinuary 4 last tbe United States Sp
ireme court dismissed the govern-
ent's appeal fu-- a review, but g onl-
ed a new trial, Judgo-LandU -Is
no1 to preside over the sin a fee
ond time and Judge Anderson was
selected In hls-Btead. '
The decreo of reversal of Landls'
One by tho Appellate court was an
nounced by Judgo Grosscup, who de
clared It excessive.
John D, Rockefeller spoke whereof
i knew when he declared on the
morning after Judge Landls imposed
sentence that "Judge Landls will be
long time dead before that fine is
aid." it was the desire to have the
fine upheld that prompted the gov
ernment to fight so hard for a Sup
reme court revlew. The Supreme
court upheld-the opinions of Judge
Grosscup, which In uffect wore:-
1 Where IjumIIs Erred.
"First, that the trial court ("Judge
nndls) had erred In Its ruling on
the admission and exclusion of evl-
ence and In its charge to the Jury,
by adopting the view that ft shipper
can be convicted of accepting a re
bate, even though It Is shown on the
matter of Intent that he did not
now what the lawful published rate
actually was; Becond, that tho true
lent -of the number of offenses Is not
the number of carloads transported,
but tho number of single transactions
resulting in a . shipment: that the or
fense of accepting a concession is
the "transaction" that" the given rate
consumed, whereby tho shipper, Jor
the thing shipped, no matter how
great or how little Its quantity, de
lves a rate different from tne esiaD-
