- "Hone Play Prohibited.
Following its action at Atlantic City
last year In eliminating the "goat"
from the initiatory proceedings, the
Portland convention yesterday took ac
tion prohibiting "horse play" at all
times, even at social sessions.
The smaller lodges protested some
what against this. Portland will be
affected somewhat by this decision,
also, as . it has , been the practice on
some occasions to introduce a little
"funny business' at the social sessions
following the initiation of some par
ticularly well-known or popular man.
The grand lodge official family was
strengthened yesterday by the arrival
of Alfred T. Holly, of Hackensack, H.
J., secretary of the grand board of
trustees. Mr. Holly just returned
fronr the Democratic National conven
tion at Baltimore and was highly elat
ed over the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson, his close friend. He will re
main here nearly a week, as it Is his
duty to close up the business of the
grand lodge, paying all hotel bills and'
other expenses contracted by the con
vention.

man was indirectly charged today in
the bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow
with knowledge of the plot to dyna

before its destruction with the loss of
21 lives.
An explosion in the courtroom could
scarcely have created more surprise
than the opening question of District
' Attorney Fredericks in the cross-examination
of the noted Socialist leader
and the prosecutor's declaration that
he would show Harrlman as not only
having prior knowledge of the Times
disaster, but also that he knew of the
bribery of McXamara Jurors.
Kaowledse f Crime Dealed.
Almost the first question asked Har
rlman by District Attorney Fredericks
was whether he had personal knowl
edge of the blowing up of the Los An

The witness said be did not.
Harriman was then asked if ha was

of October 1, 1910, the day after the
Times was blown up. He said he was
there with Edward Adams Cantrell, a
member of the executive board of the
Socialist party, and that . they
engaged in campaign work.

In South Dakota the state conven

President and Mr. Hilles are expected
to concentrate their attention upon
this question.

rumors criticising his conduct.
An unique courtroom scene was pre

Agulerre's retirement by Judge Hut

unbounded confidence in the officer's
honesty and his fidelity to his oath.
Chief Counsel Rogers of the defense de

what he designated as the enforced re

Agulerre was the victim of a plot con

defense of his friendly relations with
Agulerre and demanded a full inquiry.
Judge Hutton said that before court

On the other hand, the lodges that

that a change in the law would permit
men to transfer froni a lodge having
a low initiation fee and become mem

Elks who had paid the higher rate.
This question always has caused
much discussion among Elks in all
