An association to promote Interna tional arbitration was organized at a meeting held last evening at the Com mercial Club rooms.

Galranl. lie reported the list of members, which Included Governor Benson. Mayor Simon, the Judges of the l.'nlted States Court. Supreme Court i of Oregon, and soma of the State Cir cuit Court for Multnomah County, and a number of business men. He then moved Judge John B. Cleland be elected president the motion was at once seconded and unanimously carried. Judge Cleland desired it to be under stood that he believed In International arbitration, but not In disarmament, unless It could be done simultaneously by the principal world-powers. He thought as long as other powers con tinues to look after their own defenses that this was also the duty of the I'nited States. It was. however, ad mitted that with the extension of the principle of International arbitration the need of enormous expenditures or National defenses would fall away. It was also the opinion of all pres ent that the society co-operate with the American Peace SJoclety In promot ing the particular principle which brought It Into existence. Mr. Galvanl was elected secretary of the society and the following will act with the president and secretary as an executive committer W. P. Olds. John K. Carroll. John Gill. Thaddeus S. Townsend. J. F. Hanson and II. W. Stone.

But I do not remember anything that I ever signed so willing ly and so cheerfully as I now sign this paper. I have had some part in bringing about the Alabama settle ment with Great Britain on basis of international arbitration, and I look upon that as one of the most useful efforts of my life."

This was the conclusion reached by the 12 men who for nearly Ave hours tonight heard. testimony regarding the deaths last Saturday of race Elosser I and diaries T. Twigg. . whose bodies were found by the mother of the dead girl, seated on a sofa In the parlor of the Elosser home. I The tragedy occurred less than 30 hours before the time set for the mar riage of the victims. One of the points brought out was that May Elosser. one of Grace's sis ters, after helping their mother carry Grace's body from the parlor to a bed In a room In the rear, had herself been seized with illness which showed symp toms of poisoning by hydrocyanic acid. No connection between this and the deaths of the others was made apparent by the questioning of the witnesses. Mrs. Elosser, mother of the dead girl, who was taken from a sick bed to testify, said she saw Twigg arrive on Saturday, embrace Grace and give her the wedding ring before he sat down. When Mrs. Elosser first saw the pair she thought they were asleep. She called Grace and tried to arouse her. Discovering Twigg to be in the same condition, she placed her hand on his shoulder and said: "Charlie, Charlie, what have you doner Asked if she saw any bottles or flasks in the room, she held up her hand and said, dramatically: "As God is my Judge, I saw nothing. " Harlan B. Norrls, an 8-year-old boy. said he saw both Twigg and Grace Elosser after they had been found dead, each grasping a glass, and that Dr. E. K Broadrup had removed these glasses. This was In direct contradiction of Dr. Broadrup's testimony that he saw no glasses. Spanish War Veterans Install.

Complaints from many East Side people, who found It difficult to walk in the street at night, caused Chief Cox and Captain Bailey to request that the speakers hold forth on other streets than Burnside. It was not a mandate from the po lice department, but merely a favor asked by the Chief of Police for resi dents of the East Side. Notification to the crowds was given through the lead ers. There was no remonstrance The Salvation Army. Volunteers, of America. Industrial Workers of the World, Socialists and other religious and fraternal orders, which have made lower Burnside their rendezvous for months, were conspicuous last night by their absence. Mrs. S.

Miss Roberta opens) In San Francisco Sunday. Realizing what It meant to catch that train and what It meant to miss It, site suddenly began to do some real act ing. Manager Baker was also some what busy. He had clerks calling every taxi and auto company In the city, with the usual result that a the minutes sped by everyone was fairly dancing up and down unathematlxlng every Kind or con veyance service that ever was Invented. Onlv a huge auto truck showed up. "Shall we take It" 7 asked Mr. BaVer. Without the slightest hesitation Miss Roberta seised her skirts In one hand and her big plumes In the other and got Into the race with r.r leading man a close third. She was Jt:st climbing into the truck like a schoolgirl when a Taxi shot around the corner. Into It she went In stead ami It broke all speed records down Sixth to the depot, ami Miss Roberts and Mr. Bergen were helped aboard as their train was slowly moving out. Mr. Baker doesn't know whether to compliment himself on-bring such en gaging company that he could make the two stars forget the flight of time or whether to go Into hiding the next time he sees the two coming his way.

Second and Third, Opposite Merchants National Bank MAIL BAGS ARE ROBBED POSTAL AUTHORITIES IX SAX FRAXCISCO ARE BAFFLED. Registered Sacks Disappear From Oakland Ferryboat on Short Trip AcrossBajrArrests Expected. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 6. (Special.) Aroused by bold thefts of sacks of registered mall valued at $50,000, from the Oakland ferryboat, Harry B. Hall, postal Inspector in charge of the West ern division, and his assistants are con ducting; a search that it is believed will lead to the speedy arrest of members of an organized gang of mail robbers with headquarters In San Krancisco and Oakland. The. theft occurred on the evening of December 29. Frank Hammond, railway mall clerk, had received the northern consignment of registered mail, receipting for it at the ferry post office. The stolen bag waa to be placed on the Shasta Limited for Ashland, Or. The shipment left this side at 8:40 o'clock. Although Hammond was be side the mail truck . on the Journey across the bay, one sack was missing when the shipment was received on the Oakland aide. The sack disappeared under the very eyes of Hammond, and the postal authorities are facing one of the most complete antf baffling cases In their experience In years. "One sack of mall was unquestionably stolen from the ferryboat In transit," said Inspector Hall. 'Tou can say that we have positive evidence that the theft of the sack was the work of peo ple thoroughly familiar with the ship ment of the mails. That is as much as can be given out at the present time." The first pouch, destined for Port land and Intermediate points, was stolen 'on December 25." The second, bound for Reno. Nev., and Intermediate points, was taken on the night of De cember 26. On the night of December 29 the third registered pouch was taken from a ferryboat, and last night the fourth and last registered bag was stolen. Police Raid Cardplayers.
