THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1910. 7 PORTLAND ELKS OFF FOR DETROIT Grand Farewell Given No. 142 as Lodge, in "Special," Goes East. I day afternoon and after eating luncheon half a dozen times en route, reached McMlnnvllle at 8 o'clock Tuesday eve ning. The party remained over tnere until late yesterday morning and came Into Portland by easy stages. His lateness in leaving Tillamook, it was learned, may be accounted for by the thriftiness of his chauffeur. When the members of the party reached Tilla mook their machines were placed- in a garage and the journey to Bay Ocean was made by boat. During the two days spent there the thrifty chauffeur hired the machine out, it is said, and when Mr. Hyland returned he was unable to start with the rest of the party Tuesday morn ing. Upon arriving In Tillamook at 9 o'clock the machine was being overhauled for the trip. The chauffeur gave as an excuse that he thought the return 1912 CONVENTION IS GOAL loaded Down With Engraved Pos ters Advancing City's Attractions, Local Elks Assured of Winning Meeting Two Year Hence. The lodge rooms and club rooms of Portland Lodge No. 142, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, last night, were crowded to the doors with mem bers, relatives and friends, who as sembled to bid farewell and godspeed to the delegation leaving for the ses sion of the grand lodge of the order at Detroit next week. It was one of the most enthusiastic occasions ever occurring In the Port land temple, and all of the members, whether bound for Detroit or not, en thused over the prospect of bringing the grand lodge reunion to Portland In 1912, which object Is the slogan of the Portland delegates en route. (irand Is Farewell. The special train bearing the dele gates from "142" left the Union Depot at 11:30 o'clock, the members of the order giving their famous "war" dance on the train platform before the "Port land Special" pulled out. "Portland in 1912" is the slogan be ing spread broadcast by. the Portland delegation, for No. 142 is determined to bring the grand lodge of the order to Portland two years hence. This prize will not be awarded until the grand lodge meeting In 1911, which undoubt edly will be held at Boston, but this year's showing at Detroit will help considerably to place Portland's claims before the lodge in general, for the De troit reunion will be one of the big gest gatherings in the history of the organization, which now numbers over 1,000,000 members. As Boston was recognized as the 1911 city in Los Angeles, so Portland will be the 1912 scene of the reunion at De troit. Splendidly engraved posters advancing Portland's1 attractions have been sent to Detroit for distribution, and compared with the display material sent out from the Detroit headquarters, the Portland cards are considerably superior in every respect. Besides the banners and display advertising the Portland Elks will dis tribute 5000 watch fobs symbolical of an Oregon scene and appropriate to the Portland lodge, as well as a similar num ber of emblems of the Portland Lodge .in badge form will be distributed. Badge Collecting Is Fad. One of the features of an Elk's con vention Is badge collecting, for delegates from the various lodges trade, beg, bor row, or buy badges of the other onders enthusiastically, an oftentimes a Tnan Is met on the street with his coat front completely covered with badges' repre senting the different lodges the head quarters of which he has visited and swapped badges. The special train leaving Portland last night was In charge of Traveling Pas senger Agent Jack O'Neill, who conducted the special to Los Angeles last year. Jack O'Neill will have charge of the train as far as Omaha, where Jim Casey, for merly of Portland will take charge. At Pendleton tomorrow morning, the Portland special will be joined by two cars from Spokane and Lewiston, as well as other Inland Empire points, while at Pocatello, Idaho, the next day two cars from Montana will be attached to the Portland special, and all these delegates will journey to Detroit together.

Deputy United States Marshall Griffith arrived this evening from Port land with a warrant from the Federal Court for Thaddeus E. York. better known here as Frank B. Houston, under which name he secured a large sum of money from the American Bank & Trust Company here, who is wanted in . Chi cago for perjury. The local authorities will refuse to give York up without a struggle. It was due to the local bank paying the expenses of the Pinkertons that York was captured in Seattle recently and landed him in Jail here. Legal advice is that the Federal Courts have no prior Juris diction over York, as he was held here under a charge before any warrant of arrest was served on the prisoner by the Federal Courts. This, according to the District Attorney's office, gives the lo cal case the preference and the Federal Courts will have to wait until York is dealt with here before they can take charge of him. DELAY IS BLAMED ON FISH G. 31. Hyland Declares His Auto Was Weighted Down. Oeorge M. Hyland, a paving contractor or at least the man who gets the con tracts, was the last straggler of the Portland Automobile Club run to Tilla mook Bay to return. Mr. Hyland and bis party arrived yesterday at 1 o'clock. "It wasn't my fault," he said. "We were so loaded down with fish we caught that progress consequently was slow." It was agreed this was a good "fish story." Mr. Uj'laatl left Tillamook city yeeter- , "V y A - NEW PROFESSOR, WINNER. OK HONORS IN COLLEGE DAYS. 5- - .' : y bum William G.

HEAD OFFICE IS WANTED REMOVAL TO PORTLAND WILL BE W. O. W. ISSUE. Triennial Convention Here July to Discuss Merits of Denver and Rose City. Beginning on July 25 the trl-ennial convention of the Pacific Jurisdiction of the Woodmen of the World will be held in Portland. Delegates numbering about 200will assemble here for a two weeks' session from Oregon, Washing ton, California, Idaho, Montana, , Ne vada, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. The head office will be moved to Port land on July 15 and from that date un til July 25 the various committees will meet and prepare their reports to the convention. At this meeting, which will be the first held since 1907, there is but one matter of stirring interest in the way of legislation which is being discussed. This is a proposal to move the head office of the Pacific Jurisdiction to Portland. For some time the members of the local order have been working secretly to attain this end and they have now lined up a strength which makes success seem probable. At present the head office is located In Denver. When the Pacific Jurisdic tion was established Colorado had by far the greatest strength of any of the states and the members in the far Western states were In a decided minority. Now the membership Is strong all over the nine states -in the jurisdiction, and Oregon, Washington and California command the greatest membership In the order. Portland has been chosen on account of being cen trally located. This same movement was undertaken at the last regular meeting three years ago in Seattle. Then, W. C. Hawley, Congressman from Oregon and head manager of the Pacific jurisdiction, op posed the movement, and through his efforts the plan was defeated by a margin of eight Votes. Mr. Hawley opposed the change because, being a member of Congress, he could not be in Portland every month as required of the head manager under the laws of the order. In Denver he would be required to be present but once In three months. It Is now said by mem bers of the lodge that Mr. Hawley's opposition will be removed as he is withdrawing from the office which he holds with the order. The change of location would mean much to Portland. In the first place it would entail the purchase of a down town site and the erection of a great head office building such as Is now maintained in Denver. It would mean the creation of an additional payroll of $150,000 a year and finally would be a great factor in increasing the postal business In Portland, as the . 105,000 members In the jurisdiction require the sending out of an immense amount of mall each month. W. C. North, who is representing the head office in Portland, yesterday en gaged the entire second floor of the Hotel Oregon for the visiting delegates. The meetings- will all be held at the Eleventh-street lodge building but the headquarters will be at the Hotel Ore gon. It is estimated that in addition to the 200 and more delegates there will attend the convention about 1000 other lodge members from outside points. Many of these will bring with them their wives and families. An elaborate programme for the con vention is being arranged by Harry Day, the chairman of the programme committee. In addition to the usual lodge ceremonies, the regular meet ings, speeches by notables, and trans action of lodge business, there will be a great automobile parade In which more than 200 automobiles will par ticipate on the opening day. There will be trips up the Columbia on the steamer Spencer, trips to Portland Heights, suburbs of Portland and near by points and many features to make the stay of the visitors agreeable. A great banquet will be held at the Com mercial Club on the first Thursday nijcht of the convention. . M E TIDIES, HOPE Steel Would Assess Estates Holding Shares in Oregon. PLAN TRIED IN MINNESOTA State Treasurer Asks Attorney-Gen-eral if It Is Lawful to Collect In heritance Fee From Son Resident Decedents. SALEM, Or., July 6. (Special.) State Treasurer George A. Steel has addressed an inquiry to Attorney-General A. M. Crawford asking for an opinion on the subject of collecting inheritance taxes from non-resident decedents who owned stock In Oregon corporations. The State' Treasurer bases his hope that such collections might bo made on a Minnesota case and if he finds that such Is applicable to Oregon, he believes it will yield hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state from sucn estates a 3 that of E. H. Harriman and other owners of large corporate interests. Steel Sends Letter. The letter to the Attorney-General from the State Treasurer follows: "In response to an Inquiry addressed to the State Treasurer of Minnesota, relative to the collection of an inherit ance tax on shares of stock owned -by a non-resident decedent, I have been ad vised by him that tlje state collected an inheritance tax, amounting to $345,625, from the estate of John S. Kennedy, de ceased, who, at the date of his death was a resident of the State of New York, on account of the ownership of 1000 shares of stock of the Great Northern Railroad Company, a Minnesota corpora tion, the tax being collected under the rule that the domicile of the- stock of any Minnesota corporation is in Minnesota, the same rule applying to such stock that would apply to real estate in the State of Minnesota, even though tne dcccacni owner might not have been a resident of that state. Minnesota Law Defined. "Section 1 of the inheritance tax law of Minnesota (Laws of Minnesota. 1905, chapter 288), defining the property sub ject to Inheritance tax, reads as follows: " 'Section 1. A tax shall be and Is here by Imposed upon all Inheritances, de vises, bequests, legacies and gifts of every kind and description, of any and all persons and corporations, the value of which exceeds $10,000, and upon - such cases only." "Section 1 of the inheritance tax law of this state, also defining the property subject to Inheritance tax, reads in part as follows: " "Section 1. All property within 'the jurisdiction of the state and any inteuest therein, whether belonging to the inhab itants of this state or not, and whether tangible or intangible, which shall pass by will or by statutes of Inheritance of this or any other state . . . shall be and Is subject to a tax at the rate here inafter specified in section 2 of this act." State Is Benefited. "The Minnesota officials charged with the administration of the inheritance tax law, relying either on some particular statute, or on the preponderance of Ju dicial decisions, apparently have estab lished to the great benefit of the state, the rule that shares of stock In a Minne sota corporation are taxable In that state, whether owned by a resident of the state or by a non-resident. "Please advise me if. In your opinion, in cases where this department obtains knowledge of the ownership of stocks or bonds of Oregon corporations by the es tates of non-residents, there is suffi cient authority of law or of judicial de cisions to require the payment of an in heritance tax on the value of such stocks or bonds.' CORNER BRINGS $22,500 II. R. Reynolds Buys Lot and Frac tion at Fourteenth and Salmon. H. R.
