OLD PRECEDENT BROKEN Players' Organization Shocked by Breaking of Rule That Has Pre' vailed Since Founding by Ed win Booth Years Ago. NEW YORK. Juno 17. (Special.) Arnold Daly is no longer a member of the Players' Club. He resigned be cause he was called to account for having smuggled Bessie Abott, the singler, into one of the club's smokers last Winter and because he refused to explain to the satisfaction of the board of directors why he had broken a pre cedent which had endured since Edwin Booth founded the club, years ago. Daly was not expelled, although he Is out. Furthermore, he did offer an explanation, but he appended lines which ran something like this: "If my explanation is not sufficient. I have the honor to tender by resigna tion, to take effect forthwith." Resignation Is Accepted. The resignation was accepted unan imously by the directors. Women are sometimes allowed in the Players' historic clubhouse in Gram mercy Square. Every year the club has an anniversary celebration, and all members are Invited to bring their friends of the other sex. Except on that occasion and on two occasions of special invitation no woman ever be fore had been Inside the sacred portal. Bernhardt was one woman who was especially invited. Lady Forbes-Robertson was the other. Directors Hake Investigation. The first Saturday night of each month is given over to a smoker by the club. No one but members may attend except such men as are invited by the chairman, and he must not in vite women. In January Daly was elected chairman of the smoker and that night, according to members of the board of directors, he brought as his guest a young person whom he in troduced as Signor Bettino Abbotto, a tenor who had been discovered by an impresario, but not yet revealed. ' "Signor Abbotto" took- a pleasing part in the entertainment. He sang, to the great enjoyment of the members. He was clothed in becoming evening clothes, which were tight in spots, but it was not until well into evening that it was discovered "Signor Abbotto" was not what he appeared to be. Next day there was gossip in the clubhouse that a woman had been smuggled into the smoker in men's clothes. : It was said that the woman was Bessie Abott, the opera singer. The talk came to the ears of the di rectors and they decided to Investigate. F. F. Mackay, one of the directors, said today: "These smokers are not for women. No woman ever had at tended one until Daly brought Miss Abott to that one." PIONEERS ARE GATHERING (Continued From First Page.) years old. The principal address of the meeting will be delivered by Judge Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon City, this afternoon. All business sessions will be held at the Masonic Temple, West Park and Tarn hill streets. Occasion Is for "Get Together." But the reunion is not an occasion for business. It is Intended to bring the "oldtimers" together, to give them op portunity of living over again the good old days when Oregon was young, when the hostile Indian constantly threat ened the life and safety of the white residents and when the Atlantic Coast was farther off than the furthermost corners of the earth today. What promises to be one of the most enjoyable events of the day will "be the annual dinner at the Armory at 4 o'clock this afternoon.' Meeker Lectures Tonight. One of the Interesting events in con nection with the reunion will be the lecture at the Baker Theater this even ing by Ezra Meeker. All pioneers wear ing the official badge of the society will be admitted free between 6 and 7 o'clock this evening. Motion picture films will illustrate the talk.

Under the rules of the Oregon Pi oneer Association no one can be a mem ber tviis year under 65 years of age. Last year the lowest age limit was 64 years. The attendance at the reunion of 1913 was almost one thousand, and the average age of each pioneer was 69 years. Such being the case it will be seen that many of the pioneers are in ad vanced years. On this ground an ap peal is made to owners of automobiles to assist these deserving people in go ing from the Masonic Temple, south west corner of West Park and Yamhill streets, to the Armory. All who will volunteer for this kindly service' are requested to report to Nathan H. Bird, marshal of the day, by Pacific phone. Main 1944, before 11 o'clock today.

At closing hour at the secretary's of- flee last evening six hundred pioneers had registered. With the addition of those who are expected on the early morning trains from all directions, it is believed that the number in attend ant will be as srreat as last year. ' While the death roll of pioneers has been large in the aggregate, it will be observed that the loss of members of the Association has been relatively small, and that will be more than made up by the addition of new members persons who had the rignt to join years ago, but did not do so for rea sons only known to themselves.
