ELKDOM'S RULER TO REACH HERE TODAY James R. Nicholson and His Party to Be Welcomed by Portland Lodge. NEW ENGLANDERS GUESTS Edward Leach, Recently at Head of Order, Leads Largo - Delegation for Brief Stay and Rides Are Taken About City. If a person examined the register In the Portland Elks' Club yesterday . He must nave Imagined himself In the office of a Boston hotel, for the pages were filled with the names of iNew England towns, stretching all the ; way from Long Island Sound to the Canadian border. It was New England day with the Portland Elks, and New England cer tainly did its share by furnishing the proper quota of visitors. And it is to be assumed that Port ' land did its share, too, for the Port land Elks were busy from early until late taking the visitors on automobile rides, entertaining them at the club rooms and hotels, and providing many and varied pleasures. A most welcome and unexpected ar rival at the Elks' heme yesterday was Edward Leach, of New York City, past grand exalted ruler, and Mrs. Leach, who have many friends in Portland. Visitors Ahead of Schedule. They were scheduled to arrive late today irk company with .James R. Nicholson, the new grand exalted ruler, but Mr. Leach's business demanded that he proceed In advance of the other party. Mr. Leach Is associated with F. M. Warren & Co., .of Portland, handling their products in New York and vicinity. "The Los Angeles convention was not as big as the one in Portland three years ago," said Mr. Leach, "but it was one of the most successful In the his tory of Elkdom." He left with Mrs. Leach last night for Vancouver, B. C, where he will be detained for several days on business. Today, however, will be the "'big day" as far as the Portland Elks are concerned. Grand Exalted Ruler Nich olson and his Immediate party will arrive on the Shasta Limited at 1:50 o'clock, and the Portland Elks' band and a big delegation of Portland lodge men will be at the Union Station to meet them. Official Visits Delay. Mr. Nicholson Is a member of the lodge at Springfield, Mass., and started to the Pacific Coast with the New England Elks, who arrived in Portland yesterday. As he is making official visits to the various lodges in the Pacific Northwest, he could not return with the other New Englanders. Others who will arrive with Mr. Nich olson today are Fred C. Robinson, of Dubuque, la., grand secretary, and Mrs. Robinson; Charles A.- White, of Chi cago, grand treasurer, and Mrs. White; Rev. John Dysart, of Dubuque, la., grand chaplain; John D. Shea, of Hart ford, Conn., and several others. Mr. Shea also was a member of the New England party. K. K. Kubli, past ex alted ruler of Portland lodge, who at tended the Los Angeles convention, will return home la. company with the Nicholson party. - Another prominent Elk who visited Portland yesterday was Henry J. Walter, past exalted ruler of the Phil adelphia lodge. Two Conventions Stand Oat. "The Elks have had only two con ventions." said Mr. Walter, "Philadel phia in 1907 and Portland in 1912."

Button rovered 'with cloth were pro hibited in England by statute la Georae l's relxn. ton & Lawbaugh, timber cruisers, was on the witness stand most of yester day morning, and waa examined by Mr. Mannix and cross-examined by A. E. Clark, attorney for Frederick A. Krlbs and Willard N. Jones, who are being sued lor 1614.000 by E. II. Dodge. From Mr. Gardner, Mr. Mannix brought forth a long list of figures which he said proved that a timber cruise made 12 days before Messrs. Kribs and Jones signed their contract with Mr. Dodge showed a discrepancy of 80.000.000 feet from the cruise on which the deal was made. H. D. Langille. of the timber-estimating firm of J. D. Lacey & Co.. was called back to the stand and gave some more figures on timber cruises. These figures and others taken from letters which had been Introduced, oc cupied the greater part of the day's proceedings. Attorneys Clash in Court. One clash between Mr. Mannix and Guy C H. Corliss, attorney for Mr. Kribs. served to enliven the morning proceedings. Mr. Corliss objected to a letter which Mr. Mannix wanted to introduce. Judge Kavanaugh sustained the objection. "Why." said Mr. Mannix. "the stand Judge Corliss takes is a perfect ex ample af asinlnlty." "If I'm an ass I'm in good company." retorted Mr. Corliss. "The court agrees with me." "You'd better confine your remarks to the case, Mr. Mannix," observed the court. "It isn't necessary to drag the Jackass family into this controversy." This affair smoldered until the af ternoon when another outbreak oc curred Ifetween the same two attor neys. P. C. Eichhorn. an accountant, was on the stand examining some books. He found a small erasure. "Judge Corliss made that erasure," announced Mr. Mannix positively. "That's a lie," snapped Mr. Corliss. Remark Sot Withdrawn. "Come here and I'll show you." said Mr. Mannix, and he carried the book to Judge Kavanaugh. and the two at torneys looked over it. Judge Corliss admitted he had made a margin nota tion in the book and then erased it. "You'd better withdraw that re mark now." suggested Mr. Mannix. "I won't do-it." retorted the other, and the trial proceeded. From Mr. Eichhorn. Mr. Clark ad duced some more figures tending to show that the Krlbs tract was a bug bear to cruisers and that no two cruises agreed at alL Of two cruisers who went over one piece of land for Mr Dodge himself. Mr. Eichhorn said, one reported 40,000.000 feet and the other 15.000,000 feet When Mr. Mannix completed his case. Mr. Clark said he did not think it would take the defense longer than three or four days to Introduce its case. The trial, therefore, may be Con cluded next week. PRISONER ALLOWED TO GO George P. Rossman Free on Condi- t . tion He Leave State. George P. Rossman yesterday told Judge Gatens that he would leave Port land immediately for the East and not return to this state again. On that condition the Judge continued for one year the indictment charging Rossman with obtaining money by false ore tenses. As head of the Canadian Homestead Company, Rossman engaged in many transactions which brought a flood of complaints to the District Attorney's office, and more than once he has been before the Grand Jury. The charge to which he indicated be would plead guilty was that of passing a check for 3 on a local bank in which he had no funds. A charge of larceny by bailee was lodged against Rossman Tuesday, but will be- dismissed when hleaves the state. At one time Ross man was a lawyer in Wisconsin.

' Theft of 17,000 From Wallace la 1B13 Traced After All Thought Cass (lad Beea Dnppcd. Charles Ruddlford, postal inspector in charge of what is known in the serv ice as the Spokane division, which in cludes Washington, Oregon. Montana. Idaho and Alaska, was in Portland yes terday from tian Francisco and Palo Alto, Cal., where he got the confession and made the arrest of C. C. McDan lela, the former Wallace, Idaho, postal clerk who stole approximately 117.000 in Government funds from a safe in the postofflce there. The robbery took place in December, 1913. and there was little to cast sus picion on McDaniels. In fact, the postal authorities were inclined at flrit to suspect the postmaster and his assist ant, who were both dismissed. Inspector Ruddlford. however, had a "hunch" on Mctanlel. For months this clerk, one of several others in the office, was watched almost continually. So quietly wad It done that the general public and those in the postofflce. in cluding McDaniels. supposed the cse had been dropped. McDaniels obtained a transfer to the postofflce at Palo Alto. Cal. All this time Inspector Ruddlford was working in his own way. A short time ago he obtained information that left no doubt that McDaniels was the man who had committed toe crime. (Still saying nothing. Inspector Rud dlford went to California. lie went out alone to talk'with McDaniels. The con fession of the clerk, his arrest and that of his young wife as nn accessory fol lowed. More than that, McDaniels told where S13.000 of the stolen money was hid under a chicken coop In his yard, and that much of the $17,000 was re covered. Later Mrs. McDaniels was released and no charge will be placed maln?t per. McDnniels was brought through Portland the other day by Deputy I'nited states Marshal Mullnall. of San Francisco, and taken to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
