O., Oct. 22 As he was board ing a train for New Tork City here this afternoon. Broughton Brandenburg was arrested by local detecti-es on the charge of forgery and grand larceny. A tele gram from tlie New York City Folic. De partment advised the local department to held him. He is alleged to have sold to the New York Times a letter which he alleged to have been written by the late Grover Cleveland. In which the states man predicted the election of Taft and which letter is now declared to have been a forgery. Brandenburg was locked up. as the amount of his ball was not fixed. In a statement issued tonight Branden burg says he had the proper authority from Mrs. Cleveland and from Mr. llastir.gs. co-executor of the Cleveland estate, before he sold the article to the Times, and furthermore asks if it Is reasonable to suppose that any sane man mould falsify the utterances of an ex President of the United States for 120. At the time be was arrested he said he was on his way to New Tork City to give District Attorney Jerome additional evi dence. He says the arrest was made by those Interested In offsetting Mr. Cleve land's utterances, the object being "to secure a dramatic climax Just before the election." Through his attorney, Brandenburg issued the following statement: "It appears that I am to be the Cap tain Dreyfus of the campaign of 1908. I have been peculiarly alone and am still alone In my fight and. though ready to welcome the great body of support which the facts warrant me. If it does not come, I shall go on alone. The entire matter Is all fitting nicely with colonel Wattersoti's plan, announced before the article was published, that It must be discredited by any means. It remains to be seen If the American public is to be bulldozed on one hand while I am victimized on the other." Habeas corpus proceedings are being brought. -YlLIi DEMAXD HEAVY BAIL Jerome Send9 Request, Though Prisoner Waives Requisition. NEW YORK, Oct. 22.

Detec tive Norman Fitzslmmons. of the Dis trict Attorney's office will leave for Day ton tomorrow to bring Brandenburg here. J. 0. II. TiS WAS EX-COUXTV SURVEYOR AXD WELL-KXOWX ENGINEER.

The storm started night before last and has continued with unabating vigor. Ten inches of snow has already fallen, accompanied by a hard gale. Snow has blown into the railway cuts and In many cases is over ten feet deep. Snowplows are clearing the Canadian Pacific tracks, but little progress can be made until the snow ceases to fall. The expresses from Vancouver and other Western points are completely stalled and westbound trains are held up. No trains from tne East have reached the city today, and It is un certain when -they will get through. The Canadian Northern train from Edmonton ran Into a snow drift near Islay, a short distance east of Vermil ion, and stuck there. Efforts to back the train failed, nad finally another train was sent to pull it -out. SXOW . DRIFTS 1 5 FEET DEEP Passenger Service Paralysed by Se-. vere Storms In Montana. ST. PAUL. Oct. 22.

ELKS LODGE HOLDS JINKS Portland's Antlered Herd Makes Merry Until Early Morn. If you happen to meet a man with lack of sleep in his eyes, but with a smile caressing his lips, you'll know the reason. Ho was out last night, had the time of his life and all because he attended the slag social given by the Portland Lodge of Elks. After all there is lots of loose, happy fun In this way-worn old world, and a great deal of It was on tap in the handsome lodge room. To .begin with there was Judge Robert C. Morrow, who was master of the fun making and, in the language of the street poet, "he delivered the goods. " The big lodge room was crowded with eager stags when Judge Morrow began naming his committee to serve the ap ples, cider, buttermilk and sandwiches, and the audience was just as hungry as thirsty, and each entertainer, as the fun progressed, was received with a real ovation. It was long after mid night before the happy gathering broke up. HURRICANE LIFTS HOUSE Wind Carries Building 50 Feet, In juring Inmates. SAN BERNARDINO. Cal., Oct. 22.

Majority of Citizens Vote Against City Service Has Been Unsatisfactory. CLEVELAND O., Oct. 22. The fran chise under which the Municipal Traction Company is operating the local street rail way lines on a 3-cent fare basis, the re sult 'of consolidation of all the lines of the city, was defeated by a majority of S79 in the referendum vote here today. The total vote cast was more than 75,000. The defeat of the franchise may mean that the railway property will revert to its original owners and that the old rate of fare strife- which lasted seven years, will be renewed. The only alternative will be for the City Council at once to gTant a new franchise which will save the prop erty to the Municipal Traction Company. It is stated by unprejudiced observers that the franchise was defeated not so much upon the issue involved as upon the general dissatisfaction of the public with the service given by the operating com pany, which was greatly curtailed in order to place the property on a paying basis at the lower rate of fare. DRAGGED FROM OBSCURITY New French Minister of Marine Knows Nothing of Ships. PARIS, Oct. 22. (Special.) The -new Minister of Marine, AlfAd Picard, had been forgotten by most Parisians since the exposition of 1D0O, of which he was chief commissioner. Long noted for high administrative capacity, he was, though not more than 64 years of age, generally considered to have finished his career, since he had received the highest honors due to a man of his particular talents. None of his occupations had anything to do with the sea, but he has long been known as a successful practical railway man, as well as a writer of unusual strength on the subject of railways in general. Because a clean sweep is wanted in the Marine Department, some of Prem ier Clemenceau's colleagues object to M. Plcard's lack of experience in the navy, but it is almost certain that he will be ac cepted. Little sympathy Is expressed anywhere for M. Thomson, the retiring Minister of Marine.
