NEW JERSEY ELKS VISIT PORTLAND WITH THEIR MASCOT AND ARE ENTERTAINED BY
. LOCAL LODGEMEN.
If anyone in Portland had the no
tion that the city development spirit Is
an exclusively Western product, the
idea was quickly dispelled yesterday
by watching' a party or nearly 160 New
Jersey Elks in action.
The Easterners arried at 7 o'clock
in the morning on a special train, di
rect from the Los Angeles convention
and the San Francisco exposition. They
left at midnight for Pugret Sound a
stay of 17 hours in Portland.
But every hour was a busy hour de
voted to the task of impressing: Port
land people with the merits of New
Jersey and Newark.
Kcvrarlc Celebration Heralded.
The whole crowd was active all day
distributing: literature advertising the
celebration to be held in Newark next
year in commemoration of the 250th
anniversary of the founding of the city.
Newark and vicinity were important
points in Revolutionary times.
The members of the party were fL
Jolly, good-natured, pleasure-seeking,
mirth-provoking crowd. They are on
a vacation and are enjoying their trip.
Illustrative of their kindly nature Is
the consideration displayed to a mem
ber of their party not an Elk and not
directly related to an Elk.
Her name is Lena Snyder and she
is the most popular excursionist on
the special train. But she is not from
Newark. She was recruited at Colo
rado Springs, where the party visited
before going to Los Angeles. She is
only eight weeks old, but is capable
of enjoying all the attentions she gets.
Back in Colorado Lena and her kind
are known as Rocky Mountain ca
naries, but out here in Oregon she is
classified as a burro. The New Jer
sey boys will take her home and then
make her the adopted child of Newark
lodge. '
Party Is Met by Committee.
A committee of Portland Elks met
the New Jersey visitors, and conveyed
them . to the club, where headquarters
were maintained throughout the day.
The party included about 60 women
and they stopped at the Oregon Hotel.
Most of the visitors were taken on
sicrht-seeing trips through the city.
Others went out the Columbia River
Highway.
The party is in charge of J. F. Ander
son, district passenger agent at New
ark for the Lehigh Valley Railway,
and a member of the Newark lodge.
Other prominent Elks in the party are:
"Danny" Gavin, past exalted ruler; R.
P. Rooney, secretary of the Newark
lodge: E. E. Mathls. of Bellvllle, N. J.;
Tr. 15. S. Smith, of Lancaster, Pa., and
Maurice.' Odell. past exalted ruler of
the lodge at Camden, N. J.' Among the
prominent women is Mrs. E. C. Mennen,
whose husband was a famous talcum
' powder manufacturer and an Elk.
Since his death Mrs. Mennen has con
tinued the business.
Invaalon First Since Convention.
The presence yesterday of the New
Jersey Elks marked the first organized
invasion of Portland since the Elks'
National convention in Los Angeles last
week. Another special train will bring
a party of New England Elks to Port
land this morning. The Boston rodge
will arrive on a special train Friday

ernment recently gazetted a regulation

and Persia.
Great Britain had been waiting for
assurance that Japan would adopt sim
ilar measures. However, the Japanese
officials, after consulting Japanese
business men, decided it could not join
the movement, chiefly for the reason
that the laws of Japan do not permit
the enforcement of such a measure.
'.'be government is understood to
have pointed out that in effect there
is no trading between Japanese and
representatives of hostile countries in
the Far East. Japanese merchants are
believed to have opposed the British
project on the ground that it would
harm the business Interest of the empire.

FRENCH GAIN TRENCHES
PARTIAL ADVANCE IN" VOSGES AD
MITTED BY BERLIN.
Bitter Ensagements, Marked by Hand-to-Hand
Fighting, Characterise Re
newed Effort to AdTance. .
LONDON. July 21. According to both
the Paris -and Berlin official reports to
day, there has been artillery firing all
along the western front, with a few
minor infantry engagements. The
French say they have made a series of
determined assaults on the heights
overlooking the valley of the Fecht, in
the Vosges, and succeeded in capturing
part of the German defenses. Of these
engagements Berlin says that the
French were repulsed.
"In some places," records the German
report, "the enemy penetrated our po
sitions and had to be driven out in bit
ter hand-to-hand fighting."
The French, it is admitted, retain
some trenches south of Reichs-Acker
"kopf.
Paris says a fleet of 31 aeroplanes
bombarded the station of Conflans-en
Jarnissy, an Important railway junc
tion. Two French aeroplanes bombard
ed Colmar. in Upper Alsace. Of this the
German report says one civilian was
killed and a woman wounded.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 21. (Special.)
Indignant at the statements of Rob
ert C. Barton before the National
Purity Congress that immorality was
part of a moving picture actress' life.
Charlotte Walker sent the following
telegram of protest from Los Angeles
today:
"The statements made by Robert C.
Barton before the National Purity Con
gress concerning morality of the 10.000
motion picture actresses and actors in
Los Angeles has Just been called to my
attention.- No one but a raving fanatic
would make tuch a remark deliber
ately, and thereby bringing shame and
humiliation on the thousands of noble
women who earn their living in the
motion picture profession.
Attacks on Stagefolk Common.
'For a long time it has been con
ceded that the quickest way to acquire
publicity is to attack the stage as be
ing immoral and now the lash has
fallen upon the shoulders of the motion
picture industry. 1 am sorry If Mr.
Barton had any unfortunate experi
ences and I am sure if he had con
ducted his investigation among the
professionals In the photo-dramatic
world he would not have been called
on to make such assertions.
v or years the stage was held as
immoral, - on account of the fact that
every dissolute woman who was taken
in charge by the police gave her pro
fession as that of an actress.- If there
are 10,000 motion picture actors and
actresses in Los Angeles, it is safe' to
say that 8000 of - them are employed
only occasionally: . that they follow
other vocations or live in idleness most
of the litre, but consider themselves
motion picture actors or actresses.
Hard Work Demands Clear Llvea.
"The cloak of immorality has been
torn from the stage and It eventually
will De from motion pictures, when it
occomes Known that those who are
sincere In their work and are regularly
employed must necessarily lead the
cleanest of lives. If the matter were
analyzed I feel I am safe in saying
that the percentage of morality i
higher, or. as high, in the theatrical
profession as in any other , walk of
life.
The fact that motion picture and
stage actors and actresses are con
stantly In the public eye makes more
prominent the few failings that may
occur.

PARIS, July 21. The celebration of
the 85th anniversary of the indepen
dence of Belgium today was In sharp
contrast to that of previous years.
There were "te deums" In Bordeaux,
Cherbourg, Havre and elsewhere where
there are considerable Belgian colonies.
At Havre flags were displayed on all
houses. The Belgians attended the serv.
ice at Havre. During the service the
Belgian national anthem was sung by
the congregation.
At Bordeaux Cardinal Andrle offici
ated. The chaplain in his sermon said:
"The songs you have Just heard are
not yet those of triumph, but songs of
mourning and confidence.
The Belgian Army Courier at Bor
deaux issued a special edition In which
there were articles written by the lead-
ng members of the Belgian govern
ment. King Albert passed the day In
his own country with his soldiers.
INTERVENTION PLEA FILED
Conspiracy In Roscburg Bond Case
Is Charged In Petition.
ROSEBURG, Or.. July 21. (Special.)
Basing his complaint chiefly on the
contention that the constitutionality of
the law which limits the amount of
taxes that can be levied by a munici
pality has never been established by
the Oregon Supreme Court, Attorney
Ralph Duniway, of Portland, today filed
a petition in the Oregon Supreme Court
asking that John Hunter and other cli
ents be allowed to intervene in the
friendly suit filed by Harry Pearce
against the City or Roseburg to estab
lish the validity of the $300,000 bond
Issue recently authorized here. The
petition further sets out that the issu
ance of the bonds is the result of a
conspiracy of certain people to gain
control of the $300,000 without giving
any value to the city.
The petition will be argued Friday
and a decision will be rendered before
August 1. The bond issue carried here
by a vote of 8 to 1.
NEW YORK. July 21. Quiet pre

between pollco, and strikers resulted
in .the death of one striker and the
wounding of a police Inspector, four

only excitement tonight was the dis
covery of four small tires within the
plant, which were easily controlled.
The strikers late touuy rejected an
ultimatum from the company lha

pacifying the strikers, arranged a con
ference between a strikers' committee
and company officials for tomorrow

City. Sheriff - ivinkcad said tonlgb
that he would not permit any guard
