13 TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, 3IARC1I 15, 1923 DAILY ORUfi SALES SAID TO BE S I. Witness Against Harry Davis Makes Even Judge Smile. HUMOR SEIZES COURT Comparison of How Addicts and How Law Raps on Door Given. Transactions Related. Harry Davis, on trial In the fed eral court on a charge ot selling nar cotics, disposed of as much as $200 worth of drugs a day, according to the testimony of Harry Fisher, who said that he wan in the Davis apart ment on numerous occasions when drug transactions were made. Fisher described, a peculiar sort of a tap which he said drug addicts gave on the apartment-house door when they called to make purchases. "Why did they tap that way?" he was asked. "Well." was the reply, "an addict taps this way," and he gave a demon stration of a light repeated knock. "And the law knocks this way," and he demonstrated with a vigorous blow. Even Jndee Bean Smiles. Even Judpe Bean smiled and the Jurymen and courtroom Bpectators roared with laughter as the result of one retort Fisher made to Barnett Goldstein, while under cross-examin ation. Mr. Goldstein had Just asked for a bigger and better organization and his loss will be felt keenly not only by the members of his own tem pi, but throughout North America where Shriners gather." 'I can hardly believe that it is I true." said Mayor Baker. "Ellis was S5 in the prime of life, and being a man who was energetic and constantly on the go no one thought of his being 2 called to the unseen temple so soon. He was a man of high principle, whose aim in life was to work to better humanity. In the Shrine he was one of the outstanding figures, having done much for the develop ment of the order and always being ready to aid in any worthy move ment." Mr. Garretson was elected impe rial potentate of the Shrine at the imperial session held in Portland in 1920, succeeding W. Freeland Ken drick. He served for one year, pre siding with ability at the imperial council session held last June in es Moines-, la. He was a member of Afifi temple of Tacoma and had held offices in the imperial divan for the last ten years. His election as im perial potentate was regarded by him to have been the highest possible honor ever bestowed upon him. Mr. Garretson's last visit to Port land was about one year ago, when he made an official visit to Al Kader temple. Mr. Tetu said last night that if the funeral services for Mr. Garret- son were public he would attend as a representative of Al Kader temple, ' iUfmimmtmiimiimHHHiMiiiuinniimn Glenwood Creamery Butter, 2 lbs. 82 Delivered Only With Other Grocery Purchases 4th Floor fimiimirmiiiiimimiiiimmiinniHnimiii: MRS.

"Xes, admitted Fisher. "Why did you say 'no' to the for mer question then?" 'asked Mr. Gold " stein. "I didn't think you knew that much," was the reply. Davis was on the stand when the court adjourned last night. He will be cross-examined by Deputy United States Attorney Flegel this morning. It is expected that the case will be completed some time today and be given to the jury. Apartment Visits Related, Different persons living in the same apartment with Davis and his wife at Fourteenth and Market streets told of the large number of people, who sane to the apartment at all hours of the night, apparently in search of narcotics. The case against Joseph Woerndlc, in which the government is attempt ing; to cancel his citizenship papers on the charge that he loaned his citi zenship papers to a German spy to enable the latter to leave the country, was scheduled for hearing yesterday, but was postponed in order that the Davis case might be completed, It is expected that the Woerndle ease will be started the last of the week.

OF Ex-Imperial Potentate or Order in 1920 Succumbs to Heart At tack at His Home. TACOMA, Wash., March 14. Elite Lewis Garretson, in 1920 imperial potentate of the Shriners of North America, died suddenly this morn ing at his suburban home. Mr. Garr retson was the victim of a sudden attack of the heart. He suffered but 15 minutes, and before medical aid could be summoned by Mrs. Garret- son, he was dead. He was at his of fice and in his usual health yesterday. Mr. Garretson would have been 50 years old June 28 of this year. He is survived by his widow and a daugh ter, his aged parents and three sis ters. He had been a resident of Ta coma for 35 years and was an at torney. t Mr. Garretson was one of the most prominent Masons in the northwest. In 1920, the Shriners of North Amer ica, in convention at Portland, Or. elected him imperial potentate, th chief office in tbat organization, and he eerved until July, 1921. Mr. Garretson. who was born in Victor, Ia began the practice of law here at the age of 21, having studied in the office of Emmet M. Parker, chief justice of the supreme court of the state of Washington. He was made a Mason in 1902 and thereafter was active in the order. He became master of a local lodge, head of the Scottish Rite bodies here, and poten tate of the Afifi temple of the Mystic Shrine before becoming a national officer of the Shrine. He was rated as a broad and accurate scholar of Masonry and his book. "Digest of the Laws and Decisions of the Imperial Council, A. A. O. A. M. S," has been adopted as a ready reference book by banners. Mrs. Drew is appearing with her little company in "Predestination," a com edy playlet written especially for he by Edwin Burke. She is supported principally by Thomas J. Carrigan, who also comes to vaudeville after attaining fame in raovieland. "Predestination" has many comedv angles, all handled with the noncha lance that made Mrs. Drew popular in the Drew comedies, in which she ap peared with her husband, Sidney Drew. The theme of t&e playlet is humorous and it has a surprise fin ish of the boomerang type. Another feature of the Mrsi Sidney Drew show is the act of Gladys Buck ridge and Billy Casey, who do spec tacular singing, in which they are as sisted by th Trado twins, boys who are expert in various forms of danc ing. Scenically the act of Buckrldge and Casey is one of the most artistic seen at the Orpheum this season, and Miss Buckrldge is a stellar songstress. Individual hits m this show also in clude pretty Lois Bennett, a singer who is encored to the echo at every show after her high-class act, in which she i3 accompanied) by Phil Sheppard on the piano, and Ray and Emma Dean, "the laughing stock of vaudeville, a big comedy hit. Lois Bennett sang for the Rotary club at its luncheon yesterday and was ap plauded with gusto, the Rotarians greeting the pretty singer with more enthusiasm than ever before accorded an Orpheum artist. PORTLAND SHRINE SHOCKED Death of Mr. Garretson Regarded as Heavy Blow to Order. News of the sudden death of Ellis Lewis Garretson, past imperial po tentate of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, came aa a shock to his many friends in Portland. "Shrinedom has lost one of its hardest workers" said A. L. Tetu, potentate of Al Kader temple, wnen informed of the death of Mr. Garret son. "He was tireless in his efforts 5 "''12 'wrr B. F. IRVINE NOT TO RUN Oregon Journal Editor Refuses to Seek Governorship. B. F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon Journal, yesterday addressed a com munication to the chairman and mem bers of the Women's Democrat! club and others, declining to enter the race for governor. Petitions bearing several thousand signatures were pre sented to Mr. Irvine by representa tives of this organization. They had been circulated throughout the state. Mr. Irvine's statement follows: I am deeply grateful for th comDll- ment and the confidence implied la the presentation of these petitions, csxrvlne: several thousand signatures of my fellow citizens asking me to be a candidate for governor of Oregon. Coming as they do from the mtsa of democratic women and men in Orearon. and representing- as they do much laborious effort in securing- signatures, these peti tions have a more powerful appeal to me to consider high office and a political career than any other influence that could be broiaght to bear. However, I have carefully- balanced the services I can render in my present work against the things I might do as governor of Oregon. I hold that it should be the aim of every man and woman to do all possible to promote justice, human wel fare and happiness and to choose that method by which ta serve most effectively. Many good causes to which the institu tion with which I am associated Is dedi cated, are yet far from accomplishment. In that view, I am fully convinced, after mature reflection, that 1 can serve my state and my fellow citizens better as editor of the Oregon Journal than 1 eould as governor of Oregon. While again expressing profound grati tude to those devoted friends who have thought me worthy of high office I feel that there are the soundest of reasons for me not to enter political life.
