ELKS ARE EXCITED
Grand Officers Reported to
Have Been Extravagant ;
TREASURER EXPLODES BOMB
Fanning Also Takes Secretary Reyn
olds to Task Washington Wom
an Said to Know Its Secrets,
Gives Order No Concern.
CINCINNATI, July 19. While the 18th
annual reunion of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks has been In
progress all this week, the 40th meeting of
' the grand lodge did not begin until today,
when morning, afternoon and night ses
sions were held. There were but two can
didates for grand exalted ruler. The bal
lot resulted as follows:
"V. J. O'Brien. Jr.. of Baltimore, 710;
Samuel C Needs, of Cleveland, 379.
When nominations were all made a re
cess was taken from 7 o'clock untij., 9
o'clock for the purpose of having all (he
nominations printed on the Australian
ballot.
While the delegates were engaged In
those sessions, there was much excitement
among the visiting Elks over the ex
posures in the annual reports about the
alleged extravagance In the expenses of
certain officers and the discrepancies be
tween the different reports.
Fanning Criticises Secretary.
There have been various rumors regard
ing the absence of Grand Secretary
Reynolds, of Saginaw, and his announce
ment that he was not a candidate for re
election, but the climax came this after
noon when retiring Exalted Ruler Fan
ning most severely criticised his admin
istration of the office and caused a sen
sation in denouncing certain features of it.
Grand Treasurer Samuel H. Needs In
his report criticised the financial system
of the order. He suggested that the var
ious committees should be called together
by the grand exalted ruler only, and that
he should be held responsible fflr the busi
ness transacted and the expense coming
from such meetings. He referred to a
banquet tendered the grand exalted ruleif
by New York Lodge No. 1 on February
16. On that occasion, 14 members of the
grand officer attended the meeting and
turned In bills amounting to $18G0. He
also criticised the statement of Individual
expenses of those who attended the Balti
more reunion. He thought the grand lodge
should get down to a mileage basis.
In the first Instance it Is explained that
thes descrepancies are due to the de
moralised and incomplete condition of the
records In the office of Grand Secretary
Reynolds.
No such explanation Is given of the
charges of Grand Treasurer Needs of ex
travagance. Needs reports that the SG
district deputies drew $3039 at the Balti
more reunion last year, while the stand
ing committees and grand lodge drew
?11,052. He commends the deputies for
not handing In exorbitant expense ac
counts, and recommends that the grand
treasurer be given more executive power,
suggesting a system of checking expendi
tures. Ballard Woman "Knows Little."
Tneie has been much comment regard
ing a woman In Ballard, Wash., securing
the secrets of the Elks' Initiatory services
by spying through the windows. Ex-Exalted
Ruler Fanning said she seemed to
have an extravagant desire for notoriety.
This woman was familiar with some of
the Elks' ceremonies, but the newspapers
had greatly exaggerated the case, and the
Investigation showed her knowledge was
not sufficient for concern, and the Ballard
lodge was exonerated.
Judge O'Brien, new grand exalted ruler,
in an Interview tonight stated there was
nothing in the sensational rumors about
extravagance on the part of the past
grand officers or members of the commit
tees. He said that every dollar had been
accounted for by the auditor and auditing
committee; that the discrepancies were
due to the incompleteness of the records
of the grand secretary and to lack of de
tail in the executive reports.
The selection of the place for the grand
lodge meeting and the reunion next year
is a special order for 2 P. M. tomorrow
to which hour the grand lodge has ad
journed on account of the parade dur
ing the forenoon tomorrow. Up to the
adjournment, the following officers had
been elected:
Grand esteemed royal. F. C. Tomlin
son, Winston, N. C; grand es
teemed lecturing knight, Charles W.
Kauffman. Hoboken. N J.; grand tiler,
W. W. McClellan. Pittsburg, Pa.; grand
treasurer. J. X. Tenes, Charlerol, Pa.;
grand 'esteemed leading knight. R. J.
Woods, Sioux Falls, S. D.; grand trustee,
B. F. McNulty, San Antonio, Tex.

CARTER ARGUES FOR CANTEEN
Commander In Philippines Shows
Evil Has Followed Abolition.
MANILA, July 19. Brigadier-General
William H. Carter, commanding the De
partment of Visayas, with headquarters
at Hollo, in his sn-iua.1 report on the es
tablishment of Army posts, speaks as fol
lows: "This has been followed by the usual
crop of saloons and disreputable people.
With the well-regulated pos't exchange of
former days, weak men had a choice of
evils, and generally chose the lesser, the
pure beer of the exchange. So long as the
misguided Christian women of America
insist upon carrying the canteen question
Into politics, young soldiers, whose powers
of resistance to temptation are below the
normal or not firmly exercised, will con
tinue to fall victims to the plagues of
service In India and the Orient generally,
namely, drunkenness, dissolute company
and venereal disease."
CLAUS SPRECKELS IS STRICKEN

els, Adolph's brother, was the unfortu
nate victim. Now comes word that Claus
Spreckels is also stricken.

Last evening's entertainment at Glad
stone Park began vwith a band concert by
the Indian Band, the last piece they played
being "The Indian War Dance," which
Is a great favorite at Chautauqua and
they had to play It several times. Miss
Johnson, whom President Hawley termed
"our sollst," sang "Oh. Dry Those Tears,"
and as an encore, "The Haunt of the
Witches," by Cora Caesard. Chautau
quans have taken unto themselves Miss
Johnson as a favorite and her appearance
Is always greeted with hearty applause.
Dr. McClary shot another ray of sun
shine through the Park and Chautauqua
laughed until the rafters of the auditori
um rang. He tells his stories so well,
although, as he says himself, some of
them are chestnuts, that the audience
always roars. He admonished his hear
ers tp. keep the sunshine in the home and
spoke of the woman who took care of
his home and made It bright as the
"Queen among women." He spoke of the
real happiness of the world, which was
found among the working classes, and
what the sunshine of life meant to them.
"Talk of Princes," he said, "or posi
tions, when the crowns are given out they
will be given not for riches or position,
but for fidelity to the work allotted to
them." He advised as one means of
bringing sunshine Into life, "Pay as you
go, or don't go. If you feel poor, eat dried
apples for breakfast and water for dinner
and you won't want any supper." He
said, "Take care of your body. Don't be
a walking advertisement for a Jrug store.
Take care of your body If you want to bo
a blessing to yourself and those around
you. Don't be like tho old lady who
said she took so many pills that her joints
were all ball-bearing." He advised his
audience to put intelligence Into their
work, and that would make the work
seem better and would bring sunshine
into ever' home.
The park In the morning when all the
classes are being held In different parts
of the grounds, fom the grandstand on
the baseball grounds to the old platform
way back In the wood3, strikes the visitor
as a very charming place to receive in
struction. Instruction is given in all
branches of art, literature, languages,
music, physical culture and domestic sci
ence. This latter is such a favorite sub
ject that Mrs. Miller has been obliged to
charge a fee of 10 cents a lecture, hut
still the class la as large as ever.
Much regret was expressed and a large
number were disappointed on receipt of
a telegram from Herbert Bashford, the
poet of Oakland, who telegraphed to say
that serious Illness in his family prevented
him from being here to deliver his lecture
on "The Literature of the West." Mrs.
White took the platform In his stead and
gave a most delightful talk on her own
recollections as a child of W. E. Glad
stone Mrs. Saunderson recited an Irish ballad,
with which dialect she seems to be as
familiar as the Scotch and English. Mrs.
Inez St. Martin sang In a charming man
ner, "My Own United States." Miss John

favorite, sang "What the Chimney Sang,"
by Bret Harte. and " 'Tis L"
Dr. E. L. House, pastor of the First
Congregational Church, of Portland, de
livered an address on "The Way to Suc
cess," in which he dwelt on theNfact, and
quoted Instances to prove it, that success
was built upon failures, not one but per
haps many before success was at last
gained.
Dr. B. J. Hoadley gave his class in Eng
lish literature, from 9 A. M. to 10 A. M- a
lecture on Scott. Much Interest was
awakened by the lecturo and the readings
selected from the poet. The professor
said: "Before Scott became a writer he
made himself familiar with all classes of
society. The Last Minstrel, 'Marmion'
and "The Lady of the Lake" are the only
poems of permanent intorcst that Scott
produced. In all his poems he was a
teller of stories in rhyme, and In them we
find no epic, but enough of romance. We
do not in this age of haste read his nar
rative poems, but we linger over his
lyrics. The "Waverly Novels" were begun
by accident, and came on for 17 years to
English readers. In the "Waverly" w
see extemporaneous writing at its best.
He was not familiar with good grammar,
was diffuse, careless, but simple and spon
taneous. He knew how to tell a story,
and his creation of the historical novel
made it possible for Thackeray to con
struct "Henry Esmond." Tomorrow the
class will conclude English literature with
a study of Macaulay, and in the three
days following take a run through the
field of American literature, the special
themes being Whlttler, Mark Twain and
Bret Harte.
One of the hardest workers on the
grounds Is Miss Veda Williams, the Chau
tauqua accompanist, whose skill is un
deniable. Profossor Sheldon's class on "High
Schools" was a very Interesting subject,
He spoke of the superiority of the West
em system over some of the Eastern sys
tems. He believed In the concentration
of the high school, believing that if there
axe few teachers they ought to spend most
of their time bringing their students to
proficiency rather than advancement.

STREET-DARHELDUP
Lone Robber Makes Conductor
Hand Over $12,
WAITS AT 24TH AND GLISAN
When Passengers Are All Gone, and
Fare-Collector Is Changing the
Trolley, Masked Man Sud
denly Appears on Scene.
City & Suburban car No. 22S, of the "M"
line, was held up by a lone bandit at
Twenty-fourth and Gllsan streets at 11
o'clock last night. The robber secured
$12 of the company's money and made his
escape Into the darkness. There wero
no passengers on the car at the time.
Conductor A. S. Williams and Motorman
R. S. Clark were in charge.
The hold-up occurred at the end of
the line below St. Vincent's Hospital. The
car reached the end of the line on sched
ule time free from passengers, the last
one aboard having left the car one block
from the end of the line. As the car
was brought to a stop, Conductor Will
iams removed tho trolley and started to
take it to the other end of the car, pre
paratory to the return trip. As he at
tempted to replace the trolley on the wire,
the rope was jerked from his hand and
the car was plunged in darkness. At tho
same time, Williams saw a revolver point
ed at his head. A demand for his money
followed. Motorman Clark was at the
other end of the car, and as the robber
spoke in low tones he did not know what
was transpiring, and thought Williams
was only having trouble to replace the
trolley.
Makes Off in Great Haste.
Watching the conductor closely, at the
same time threatening him with the re
volver, the bandit approached closer and
held out his hand into which the con
ductor was forced to place all the com
pany's nioney he had at the time, a little
over 512. The robber then backed away
for a few yards and started down Gllsan
street on a run.
Conductor Williams jumped to the
other side of the car and called to the
motorman, telling him he had been
held up. As quickly as possible the
trolley wa3 replaced on tho wlro and
the two men ran the car a short dis
tance and began a search for the ban
dit, of whom they could find no trace.
The run to the city was then continued,
and the matter reported to the street
car company and the police. Detectives
Vaughn and Hogeboom were detailed
on the case, but up to a late hour this
morning they found no trace ot the
robber.
The neighborhood in which the hold
up occurred is poorly lighted, and the
bandit took advantage of a moment
when he knew there would be no light
coming from the car, and when tha
two men comprising the crew would be
at opposite ends of the car. He acted
so quickly that the deed as done before
the motorman had any Idea what was
going on. The robber Is described as
being a medium-sized man, dressed in
dark clothes and a slouch hat. He had
on a mask at the time of the hold-up.
When the hold-up occurred there
were at least five people within a
fcrockT' A DUggy had just passed the
corner of Twenty-fourth and Gllsan
streets, and passengers had alighted
from the car a block away.
Story of the Conductor.
"It all happened so quickly that It
was over before I really knew what
was going on." said Conductor Wil
liams. "Just as I started to replace
tho trolley the rope was Jerked from
my hand and I saw the revolver point
ed at my head. I did not have a chance
to call to the motorman, and I knew
If I did it meant certain death. When
I handed over the money the robber
grabbed It, backed away and then ran
down the street. When he started to
run I dashed to the other side of the
car and cried to Motorman Clark. He
heard the man running at the same
time and had started toward the rear
of the car to see what was the matter.
We ran the car down the street a short
distance and tried to find some trace of
the man, but were unable to do so. He
had plenty of chances to get away In
the darkness."
"The first I knew of the hold-up was
when Conductor Williams cried to me that
he had been robbed," said Motorman
Clark. "I thought he was only having
trouble replacing tho trolley and did not
wonder at the car being In darkness for
a few moments. It all happened so quickly
that there was no time to do anything."
Probably Laid in Wait for Car.
It Is supposed the bandit had laid in
wait for the car, thinking It possible that
there would be no passengers at that time
of the night so far out toward the end
of the line. There are plenty of places
within a short distance of the end of the
line where a man could easily hide, and It
is the opinion of the crew that the man
who held them up was hiding near by,
waiting for the coming of a car without
passengers.
Conductor Williams stated last night
that he deemed It doubtful whether he
could Identify the man If he saw him
again, the mask and darkness rendering
It difficult for him to see the bandit's
features. There are a large number of
crooks and ex-convicts in Portland at the
present time, and It Is thought by the po
lice that one of these might have been,
the robber.

Not Logan, the Notorious Bandit.
DENVER, July 19. Positive proof that
the tralnrobber who was killed on Divide
Creek, June JMast, was not the notorious
bandit, Harvey Logan, has been secured
by an examination of the body by Dr. R.
K. MacAlester. The convincing mark of
Identification on which the detectives re
lied was a Bear on the right wrist caused
by a gunshot wound, known to have been
inflicted several years ago on Logan. The
dead man's wrist bears no such marks.
Russians Return to Niu Chwang.
TIENTSIN, July 19. About 1500 Russian
troops returned to Nlu Chwang Monday
night. The Japanese forces are reported
to be six miles distant. The Russian gun
boat Si vouch is now high and dry in the
