Head of Great Northern Tail oring Combine in Court for Fourth Time. t(The Daylight Store"-In the Heart of the New Retail Shopping District r ir &Kimg jt j if! mi PROSECUTOR IS CONFIDENT Mr. Fitzgerald Declares It Is a "Skin Game" on the Face of It Mrs. Duff j, "Picked as Winner," Makes Charges. Holding- tht suit clubs now In op eration in Portland are lotteries on the face of their offers. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Fitzgerald issued yes terday a felony information against Ben Semylo. manager of the Great Northern Tailoring Combine, with offices in the Swetiand building-. The warrant was Issued from the Justice Court, where preliminary hearing will be held, looking to an indictment by the grand Jury, on a charge of con ducting a lottery. This Is the third time in recent weeks that a warrant has been Issued for Semylo. In the first case Judge Taswell dismissed the charge on legal l.olnts raised by Attorney Max G. Cohen, appearing for Semylo. This prosecution was under the statute. A few days later he was arrested again with the heads of two other concerns in the same line of business, and was fined 25. the court holding that the question of law better could be argued in the Circuit Court If the defendant wished aDoeal. He did not take an appeal, but. In a virtual confession that his scheme was a lottery, prayed the court for a sanction to continue his business with the element of chance eliminated. The court refused to. take such action. Contract Held to Show Lottery. The District Attorney holds that there Is no oien Question of law In the case, as the face of the tailor's contract exposes the lottery feature. The other party to the contract is as sured that on payment of $1 a week for not to exceed $19 weeks, he will receive a suit, said by the solicitors to be worth $35. Those who receive suits earlier than the 19-week limit are selected according to the contract, at the option of the "combine" and are chosen as being the ones whose suc cess will advertise the company to the best advantage. Mr. Fitzgerald holds that so long as the award is made without being con ditioned on any act of the receiver, the element of chance exists, and will bring authorities to support his view. Other attorneys, employed by the suit clubs, have advised their clients to the contrary. Mr. Fitzgerald Is said to have the backing of the Federal au thorities, who have become interested In the use of the malls by the suit clubs. Fraud Allrard la Complaint. The action yesterday was precipi tated by a complaint from Mrs. Mary Duffy, 440 Spokane avenue, whose bus. band laid the facts before the District Attornev. Mrs. Duffy received a coupon, purporting to represent a chance to be selected as one of a club who would be permtted to pay in $1 each a week and participate In the award of suits. A few days later, she rays, a solicitor appeared and told her that she had been drawn, but would have to make a few weekly payments before the suit would be delivered. She paid $11 and then her husband began to make inquiries. On application at the office of the "combine" he was re fused his money back, and when he threatened to- go to the District At torney he was told to go ahead: that he could not get his money even if he did. "This is a skin-game on the face of It," said Mr. Fitzgerald, "and I intend to go through with this case personal ly. I believe that these men can be put behind the bars of the penitentiary for running a lottery." Four Arreata Remit. Managers of four different concerns have been arrested, two have been fined, and two cases are pending. The schemes have been in operation for weeks and In the aggregate are said to be collecting close to $10U0 a week from Incautious persons who have been drawn In by offers of clothing at In credibly low prices. The game has been helped along by the delivery of a "free" suit of really good material and workmanship, always to some per son whose standing In the community would have a good effect on any In clined to be skeptical. Constable Weinberger served war rants yesterday on Ben Semylo, Morris Stein and Frana -W.-Bntzell. pursuant to Information Issued by Deputy Fitzger ald. They were held all afternoon at the Constable's office while trying to Kt bail In the sum of $1000 demanded from each of them, and then were con signed to the County Jail in default of It. and passed the night in confinement. They will have a preliminary hearing before Justice Olson today. The offi cers seized all their books and have summoned a number of women who have been paying money on their contracts.

KELLY GRAND KNIGHT BERNHARDT FILMS ARRIVE "Divine Sarah" to Be Seen af Ma jestic Beginning Today. Sarah Bernhardt will be seen at the Majestic Theater in the character of Queen Elisabeth, in motion picture production beginning today and con tinuing until Saturday night. Four reels are required to stage this pro duction, which is one of the most pre tentious that has been brought out in the history of the motion-picture thea ter. It was considered an exceptional in cident even up to two years ago, for actors of note to appear in moving pirture productions, but the demands of the people of today has brought about a change, and actors of world wide note are being seen more and more frequently in the silent dramas of the motion-picture theater. The ap pearance of Sarah Bernhardt is one of the later triumphs of the motion picture theater in its gradual attrac tion to itself of the famous actors of the world, and It is In her produc tion of Queen Elisabeth, that Sarah Bernhardt attains the climax of her glory. Long after Sarah Bernhardt has be come but a memory, this production of Queen Elizabeth will live and it is the science that has made possible the motion-picture theater that will in these reels make truly immortal and capable of transmission to posterity, the full art of the great actor. The 01m of "Queen Elisabeth" has been secured eexcluslvely for the Ma jestic Theater and is regarded by the management as one of the greatest attractions it has aver been able to offer its patrons.

Z.& Committee Appointments to Be An- nounced Cardinal Farley Will Be Entertained If Itinerary Includes Portland. s There was ushered into office a new executive personnel of Portland Coun cil, Knights of Columbus, last night, the ceremonies being held at the club house. Park and Taylor streets, and while the same work was carried on in many other councils and will be fol lowed by the rest throughout the United States during the present, week, members of the Portland contingent feel that it was one of the most aus picious events in the 10 years that or ganisation has been alive. .The ensuing year is looked forward to as a perlold in which the council will make material strides, not alone in membership, because that is some thing in which character rather than numbers is wanted, but in ' the alms that Columbianism stands for. John W. Kelly was elevated to the station of grand knight in return for the work be has done in behalf of the order. He was regarded as eminently fitted to take up the progressive labors that were carried on by Frank J. Lon ergan, whose tenure of office as deputy grand knight and latterly as grand knight marked a steady and desirable growth of the council. John J. Beckman was installed as deputy grand knight, advancing to the post vacated by T. J. Patterson, who has taken a decidedly important part In ushering in members, and though relinquishing such duties with the Portland branch of the order, Is also district deputy. A. L. Gianelll's re-election to the post of warden was a strong indorsement of the manner in which he has ful filled the exacting demands of the rank in the past. Others to be guldea through the impressive installation ex ercises were: Leo O'Rourke, advocate; Emmett Dooney, chancellor; Leo Mer rick, recording secretary.; T. J. Hol land, financial secretary; W. A. Mc- Kinnon, inside guard; Charles Yancke, outside guard; J. Frank Sinnott, lec turer, and Rev. E. P. Murphy, chaplain. Mr. Kelly will announce a number of appointments in standing and spe cial committees. One of the first im portant steps to be taken will be to learn If Cardinal Farley, who is to visit Los Angeles, will include Port land in his itinerary on his return to New York, and -in that event a recep tion will be given in his honor. PORTLAND RECORD IS EIGHT DEAD- IX FIVE DAYS. Body of One Man, Whose Initials Believed Are "C. L. C," Found in Barn St. Paul Victim Youth. Two men committed suicide and a third was found dead in circumstances pointing possibly to a similar end be tween the hours of t A. M. and 4 P. M. yesterday. This brings the total up to eight for the past five days. The first to be reported yesterday was that of an unidentified man, found in a barn at 609 Burnslde street by Watchman W. K. Pope. The only clue to his identity that the Coroner and the police have is his gray hat, which bears the Initials "C. L. C." No money, no valuables, no data of any descrip tion were found on his person, and for that reason, among others. It is thought that suicide by poison may have been the cause. The only other way in which death could have oc curred, it is thought, would be through exposure or heart failure. He was a man of about 40 years of age, with dark brown hair, slightly gray, and prominent ears, and weighed about 160 pounds. He had on a gray suit, tan shoes and brown shirt. The second case reported to Deputy Coroner Miller about 3:30 o'clock was that of V?. L. Boehm, 69 years of age, living at 68 East Seventy-second street North, who killed himself by hanging. He had been left alone cutting cab bages in the woodshed,' and when his wife returned she found him dead, no reason can be assigned for his death, as both his sons and his wife say that he was always cheerful, and had no financial troubles. Most deliberate of all, however, was the manner in which Walter J. Schoch, of St. Paul, Minn 26 years old, put an end to his life. At the Prima Hotel, where ha lived, on Fifth and Burnslde streets, he took to bed with him the gas tubing, fixed it in his mouth and asphyxiated himself. Though working as a laborer here, young Schoch was the son of one and the nephew of the other partner in what is said to be the largest grocery business in St. Paul. In his case no reason for taking his own life Is known. At 4 o'clock a telegram was sent to St, Paul and by 6:30 o'clock an answer had been received asking that the body be sent to St. Paul immediately. LAND SUIT END PREDICTED Two Years More, It Is Estimated, Will Be Required for Settlement From present indications it will be at least two years more before a final determination Is reached In the land grant forfeiture suit of the United States against the Southern Pacific, that has now been in progress several years, but has reached a stage where the end can Be approximated. The testimony, taken before Miss Fleming, special examiner, has been practically completed with the date of filing the record of the testimony and exhibits having been fixed for Decem ber 15 in the United States District Court. The testimony will Include about 7000 typewritten pages, all but 2000 of which have been completed, and vol umlnous exhibits of records and maps. When this is all filed the court will be asked to fix February 1 as the time for hearing the oral arguments and the filing of printed briefs. As United States District Judge Wolverton has been handling the case so far it is probable that it will be assigned to his division and Judge Bean has set jury trials for the month of February in which he has had the preliminary ob servation. While Judge Wolverton has passed on many of the technical questions in the case. It will be necessary for him to digest the great, mass of testimony so a decision from him could hardly be expected within three months. Whatever his decision may be an ap peal is sure to be taken to the United States Court of Appeals, and it is just as certain that from this decision, an appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, unless some Act of Congress is passed to settle the case. HOTELKEEPER ISx MISSING Police Asked to Search for Andrew Meany, a Property Owner. Andrew Meany, one of the proprietors of the Pacific Hotel, 214 Columbia street, has been missing since October 31, and his friends have appealed to the police to make a search for him. On that day he had been drinking and dis appeared late at night. Investigation of bis affairs shows that he had little money with him and there is no ap parent cause for his departure. He was the owner or consiaeraDie property ana his business was in prosperous condi tion. Meanv is 63 years of age, but looks much younger. He is a large man and wears a gray mustacne. tie caa no rel atives in America, so far as is known. Four Licenses Transferred. At a special meeting of the liquor li cense committee of the City .Council yesterday transfers of four power of attorney licenses were authorized. The transfers were in the cases of the four saloon-keepers who were opposing transfers on the ground that the li censes were not owned by brewing companies under power of attorney. It was found that the licenses were owned by a local brewery and the transfers were allowed. They were as follows: Emil Glutsch, 40 North Second street, to Emil Glutsch, 300 First street; Harry Lord, 22 North Tenth street, to T. H. Em Iff. 22 North Tenth; J. D. Holton, 9o Fifth street, to Emil Glutsch, same address; A. E. Lodell, 284 North Sev enteenth street, to Emil Glutsch, same address. The Montreal City Council has approved the proposed construction of a f 649.1)00 an nas to the City Hall.
