THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDXESDAT, NOVE3IBER 13, 1916. V K V MASONS BRING SUIT Frank Motter and E. E. Stack house Arrested. FRAUD CHARGES ARE FILED Case Is Continuation of Figlit Com menced by Ancient lTree and Ac cepted Body Against Ameri i can Masonic Federation. J'rank Motter, Portland attorney and J-eading clerk of the State Senate for several sessions, and E. E. Stackhouse, contractor, were arrested yesterday on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. The complaint against the two men was sworn to by C. II. Bor quist and the warrants were served by Tom Swennes. Portland detective. They were released on $300 bail each. Mr. blotter is master and Mr. Stack house secretary of Uie Robert Bruce Lodge No. 47, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Free Masonry in the American Masonic Federation, an or ganization which is declared to be "clandestine" by the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. According to charges made against Mr. Motter and Mr. Stackhouse in the complaint, they induced C. II. Borquist to Join their organization, represent ing to him that lie was Joining the Pcottisti Rite Branch of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. He de clares that in that way they got S10 from him. A receipt bearing the signa tures of Mr. Motter and Mr. Stackhouse forms a part of the evidence which will be introduced against them. Mr. Borquist said yesterday that his brother, A. Bomuist, was likewise in duced to join Mr. Motter's lodge and that a similar amount of money was procured from him. Charges were made yesterday by Deputy District Attorney Ryan, -who made out the complaints, that Mr. Mot ter bad used his influence as attorney for the estate of the mother of C. H. and A. Borquist to get them to Join his organization. Mr. Motter denied yesterday that he had used his influence in getting the two Borquist boys to join his organiza tion. "I refused to accept their application until I had had opportunity to talk the matter over with them and explain to them the difference between the Scot tish Rite Masons and the so-called Tork Rite Masons," he said. He also denied having received any money from them or having signed any re ceipt. He said his name had been put on the receipt merely in a perfunctory manner by the secretary. The arrests yesterday came as a new phase of the controversy between the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and the American Masonic Federation. The controversy has resulted In a num ber of legal battles, the last of which was a libel suit in Judge McGinn's Court- during the summer.

"Never before has the National suf frage amendment occupied a position of such prominence as today." said one prominent worker. "It was ono of the issues on which the election was fought in the 12 states where women vote. Both parties throughout the campaign devoted great effort to try ing to prove to the women voters their devotion to the enfranchisement of women. When the two great National parties vie with each other in pro claiming their enthusiasm for suffrage for women we feel assured that the passage of the suffrage amendment by Congress is near at hand."

There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO New York JOS.
