Before noon the regular panel of Jurors had been exhausted, five of the first 12 drawn being excused because of conscientious scruples against capital punishment. A spe cial venire of 30 names had been drawn last week and these soon were exhausted. Additional Venires Ordered. Two additional venires, one of 15 names and one of 25 names, were ordered drawn by kludge Belt. At 2:40 court was adjourned until tomorrow morning, as the first two panels of jurors had been exhausted and the others had not yet reported.

Portland Haberdasher Is Knocked Unconscious After Handing Out Circulars. HUNTER MEETS DEATH Young Man, Accidentally Shot, Dies on Way to Medical Aid. ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 9. (Spe cial.) William Kainber, 24 years old, son of Mrs. Amanda Kainber, 714 East Market street, Aberdeen, died en route up the harbor in a coastguard cutter Sunday after having- been accidentally shot while duck hunting at South Bay. Details of the accident, old before the cor oner's jury Monday, showed the shooting to have been purely acci dental. The party, comprising five young men besides Kainber, started for South Bay Saturday niffht in Kain- As the result of an encounter with a mob of Gresham men and boys Sunday night, in which he suffered severe injuries and bruises, Michael P. Brennan, well-known Portland haberdasher, and a singer of prom inence, visited the district attorney's office yesterday and asked that his attackers be arrested. Deputies from the sheriff's office were instructed to make a complete investigation. I attended a meeting in the Ma sonic hall at Gresham, where a woman known as Sister Lucretia, formerly anun, was lecturing," said Mr. Brennan.- "In her lecture she charged that sisters at St. Vincent's hospital were treated cruelly by their superior and that the morality of the institution was not above reproach. 'After the meeting, which closed at about 9:30, I started to pass around circulars to the people leav ing. These circulars denounced the assertions of the lecturer' as mali cious falsehoods. "The mob arrived and ordered me to leave town. I knew I was in for it, so I started to run. Before I got 100 yards something struck me on the side of the head and knocked me down. I got up and was knocked down again. After that I remembered noth ing till I woke up in an automobile near Portland. The driver said he had picked me up near Linne- man station between Portland and Gresham. 'I handed the motorist mv card and asked him to call me up today, but I haven't heard from him." Mr. Brennan sustained a badlv bruised arm and a lacerated right hand, as well as a black eye. FUGITIVE IS EXTRADITED .Man Accused of Holding Jeweler Vp Will Go to Spokane. SALEM, Or., Oct. 9.-MSpeciaI.) Governor Olcott today honored requisition papers for the return to Spokane, Wash., of William Murphy, alias William McCarthy, who is wanted there on a charge of rob- j bery.

Shipping Magnate Acquires Portland Company Stock, DEAL CLOSED IN SOUTH .Lloyd J. AVentworith Will Retain Former Executive Position Under Reorganization. Advices which readied Portland bankers and lumbermen yesterday were to the effect that the reorgani zation of the Portland Lumber com paay. Ions contemplated, had been completed in San Francisco, with the entrance into the business of Robert Dollar, steamship operator and lum berman, Lloyd J. Wentworth, pres ident of the company, has been in the California metropolis for the last week, concerned with the con summation of the deal, and is ex pected home tomorrow. Word that the Dollar interests are now identified with the Portland Lumber company has but one mean ing that the property aeain will become productive, and that here after it will be an important factor in the export trade, through the out let afforded its product by the Dol lar shipping line. Dollar Interests Control. Rumor has it that the reorganized company will be known as the Port land Dollar Lumber company and that 51 per cent of the common stock is in the control of Mr. Dol lar, whose financial weight has proved an important factor in estab lishing the company upon its for mer basis of importance. It is un derstood that Mr. Wentworth will have fully as much executive re sponsibility ,as heretofore. A fortnight ago. while the nego tiations were pending,. Mr. Went worth left for Detroit to interview the Detroit Trust company respect ing reorganization plans and the issuance of refunding bondp to take up an outstanding issue. It seems apparent that these arrangements have been perfected and that a new bond issue of $1,000,000 has been decided, upon. Financial Plan Adopted. Other features of the reorganiza tion cons' itute the issuing of $600, 000 in preferred stock, $500,000 in debenture bonds and 12.500.000 in common stock. It is understood that every financial obstacle has been leveled and that local creditors are entirely content with the reorgan ization. Though the condition of the Port land Lumber company for some time has been unfavorable for operation the fundamental status of the con cern at all times, has been sound. Its obligations, said to have to taled only $650,000, were trifling in comparison with its assets, which include nearly 1.500.000,000 feet of timber 853.000,000 on the Calapooia river and 600,000,000 on the McKen zie river watershed. JVeed of Lumber Supplied. The need of the Robert Dollar interests for lumber cargoes was scarcely less than that of the Port land Lumber company for reorgan ization. Some years ago the Dollar line carried cargoes of Oregon lumber to the orient, and particularly to China. New alignments of shipping deprived the line of this business, and it said that since that time the Dollars have been very desirous of again establishing connections that would afford them regular export cargoes from this port.

The Elks do not believe in waiting until the crunch of the hearse is heard in the gravel outside the door before unsealing the alabaster boxes of brotherly love. In other words, the Elks, in consonance with the Golden Rule, stand for passing along the good things in life to the other fellow that he also may participate therein to his profit and happiness. With the above aims in view Portland Lodge 142 B. P. O. Elks has decided not to permit the membership of the order to absorb all of its 15-Year, Second Mortgage and General Obligation 6 Trust Coupon Bonds but to offer a $50,000 block to the general public so that the people of Portland, particularly the small investor, shall have an oppor tunity of participating in the, purchase of these exceptional securities. Portland .Lodge of Elks, numbering over 4000 of the most substantial citizens of Portland, is now engaged in the erection of a wonderful $1,000,000 Temple at Eleventh and Alder streets. This magnificent edifice, while primarily intended to house the .fraternal, social and recreational activities of the lodge, is in reality a community enterprise of, for and by the people of Portland. Therefore, the Elks want as many citizens of this community'as possible to have an interest in fee simple in this palatial structure by investing in the exceptionally safe 6 bonds of Portland Lodge. Remember, only $50,000 of the $400,000 issue of Elks' bonds will be available for the public and when this amount shall have been sold the sale will automatically end. For safety of investment and rate of interest you will find no bond in the market to compare with these securities. And, besides they are Portland bonds, issued by a Portland organization of Portland men and the money is to be expended in Portland. It behooves you to hurry, for first come will be first served.
