Elected.
Whatever verbal dynamite any- of the
members or the Travelers' Protective As
sociation, which met yesterday afternoon
in annual session at the Hotel Portland,
might have Drought along with them was
sprinkled over with the holy water of
peace by the report of President C "W.
Ransom. The final gather of the men of
the road for 1904 was marked by a large
attendance, and. while the thorna and
pricks of the past year stllL stung certain
members, there was a general desire for
peace peace of the genuine kind and this
prevailed. President Ransom's, plea "for
peace and forgiveness was masterful, and
SEND THE PAPER 4 EAST

it struck a responsive chord In all who
were present. So the stings of the hurts
which wore crowded into the past 12
months pass with the year of 1904.
This meeting was also marked by an
other thing It meant the retirement of
E. Shelley Morgan, who for the past nine
years had served the organization as sec
retary and treasurer. The row with the
National body over the reinstatement of
La Beaume, treasurer of that body, had
involved Mr. Morgan, but everything he
did during the troublesome times which
followed La Bcaume's reinstatement was
sanctioned at this meeting. President
Ransom paid the retiring secretary a
glowing tribute, stating that the T. P. A.
of "Washington 'and Oregon was a monu
ment to his labors and untiring attention
to the organization. In addition to this a
resolution was passed highly commending
his long years of service and backing up
everything ho had done while secretary.
The annual reports submitted by the vari
ous officers were read or delivered verb
ally, and, of one accord, they spoke of
the prosperity of the association.
To Aid the Exposition.
President Ransom, after making a brief
financial statement and complimenting
Mr. Morgan and his zealous board of di
rectors and pleading for peace, made sev
eral valuable suggestions. Among the Im
portant things he mentioned was tho
Travelers' day at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. June 10 has been set aside for
this event. He urged that every member
of the association work to make this tho
biggest day at the Fair. The banquet,
which has always been the feature of
these annual meetings, was not given, in
order that the money which would have
to be spent on such an occasion might
be used in entertaining visiting traveling
men on that day. President Ransom also
called attention to the movement on foot
to erect a fraternity building at the Fair
grounds. He stated that it was the de
sire of the division to have a part of this
building set aside as a travelers' head
quarters, and he spoke of the advantages
of having a place of this sort.
This report also touched on the 6crlp
mlleago books., H. "Wittenberg, chairman
of this committee, stated that the rail
roads were trying the scrip books as an
experiment. The traveling men at first
thought the scrip books were bad, but It
develops that no great Inconvenience has
come oip since they have been in use.
Mr. Wittenberg stated that the railroad
people were willing at all times to .receive
any suggestions from the traveling' men
that would tend to better the scrip books
or the traveling men. The report of. the
committee on hotels brought out a great
laugh. It was made verbally, and was to
the effect that the hotels were fair and
those that were not, the proprietors had
promised to remedy. The legislative com
mittee reported that they had in course
of construction a bill for a 2-cent fiat rate
In Oregon, and that it would be presented
at .the coming meeting of the Legislature.
The secretary's report was most flat
tering. It showed that the membership
had Increased during the past year, and
that 712 names are now on the member
shin roll. The treasury contains some
thing like, 53200. a part of which is drawing"
4 per cent interest, me guiaeDOOK was
also a source of revenue. The premium
offered to the member who obtained the
greatest amount of advertising for this
book is M. J. Davis, who died at LJnd,
Wash., in April last. President Ransom
suggested that the $25 which was to have
been awarded to Mr. Davis be sent to
his widow.
Delegation for Savannah.
J. T. Lovenstein, a member of the
association, read a lettor from the
T. P. A. . of Savannah. Ga., invit
ing tho Washington and Oregon T.

WOMAN SOBBED BY THUG.
Mrs. R. Crook Held Up at Sixteenth
" and Hoyt Streets.
For a leather purse, 40 cents In change,
a pair of opera glasses and a handker
chief, a bold thief last night risked his
liberty when he robbed Mrs. R. Crook,
who had been attending a matinee.
Mrs. Crook says -she was accosted at
Sixteenth and Hoyt streets as she was
walking toward her home at 551 Hoyt
street, and robbed of her purse. It con-
talned 40 -cents, a pair of opera, glasses
and -a handkerchief.
So sudden was the appearance of the
thug, and so quickly did he operate, that
the victim says she yas unable to get
any description of him, except that she
thought he was a tall man. Detective
Hartxnas, who waa assigned to the case
by Captain Moore, investigated and was
unable to get aay clew to the fellow's
identity. The police believe the robber Is
the same who has been robbing women
here for the past two weeks.
IHTEHBS TO FILE BRIEF.
Earnest Hutchinson Declares City
Ordinances Are Unconstitutional.
Upon the return yesterday of the
writ in the habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by Earnest Hutchinson,
Judge Bellinger consented that briefs
be filed by both parties.
These proceedings are the outcome
of the arrest, by the city authorities,
of Earnest Hutchinson for selling trad
ing stamps and merchandise through
the medium of such stamps without
having first procured a city license, as
provided by the ordinance.
Hutchinson, having failed to procure
a license was arrested, and now seeks
his release through habeas corpus pro
ceedings, alleging that the ordinance
under which he is arrested Is uncon
stitutional and therefore V(ld.
Under an arrangement made with
the United States Court briefs' on this
case will be submitted within the next
three or four days and since they con
sider the .validity of the city's ordl-
nances they will be watched with in
terest. Arguments in the case of Lum Dong
vs. Sanborn, Cutting Company, wherein
the Chinese contractor claimed a
balance due him under a 1903
packing contract, were made yes
terday before the United States
trial Jury. Judge Bellinger, how
ever, will not make his charge to the
Jury until Tuesday morning.
With the wish that the Jury now in
service might bo able to fully enjoy
the holiday of the New Tear, Judge
Bellinger deferred action in this case
until Tuesday, when he will deliver his
charge.
