Mr. Jeffrey announces that he will provs his charges, and exhibits al leged forged Instrument, with the name of Dr. W. O. Manion aigned, and affidavit of Dr. Manion. who swears he never examined applicant for membership in the order, cer tified by Manager O'Malley. Manager O'Malley writes Mr. Jef frey threatening letter. In effect challenging him to fight, declaring he will sue him for criminal libel and civil damages unless Mr. Jeffrey retracts charges. Supreme President Foshay is now considering the charges. Manager O'Malley still holds his position. t J ' Charging that his character has been damagred, that ho has been humiliated jand chagrined, M. U. O'Malley. state 'manager of the Fraternal Brotherhood, yesterday filed suit for $15,000 damages against John A. Jeffrey, a local at torney. in a letter to Supreme President Foshay, at Los Angeles. Mr. Jeffrey re cently charged State Manager O'Malley with forging certificates for member ship in the Brotherhood, and Manager O'Malley has not only filed suit for '.damages, but has -written a letter to Mr. Jeffrey demanding a retraction, and declaring that he will prosecute for criminal libel and that he will also Settle with Mr. Jeffrey "in a personal manner" after the criminal and civil suits are adjusted. 1 Wilcox Application Questioned. K Mr. Jeffrey yesterday exhibited the instrument which he alleges was forged iby Manager O'Malley. it being the ap plication of W. K. Wilcox, of Boring; also the affidavit of Dr. Manion, who jawaarg that he never examined Wilcox funtll after the papers had been re turned from the head office In Los 'Angeles. Dr. Manion then made an ex amination, he swears, and found that the family history barred Wilcox fro'.a insurance and membership in the .order. ; ' Dr. Manion's affidavit contains fur ther sensational statements that Man ager 0"Malley had Instructed his depu ties that he had the right to examine applicants and to sign the name of tor. Manion. The affidavit states that Mra. Rehberg, a deputy In O'Malley's jjfflce, traced O'Malley's pencil hand writing with Ink. at O'Malley's order, !-ln the case of Wilcox. The instrument exhibited by Mr. Jeffrey plainly shows .hat it has been traced over with ink where there were answers to questions in the blank. Incidentally, K. H. Down, attorney Jfor Manager O'Malley, figures in the ructk'ii that has been the cause of much trouble in the Fraternal Brother hood of late. He was the candidate of rQ'Malley. It is said, for president of one of the Portland lodges against Mr. Jeffrey some months ago. Mr. Jeffrey Sas elected, however. i In the complaint filed in the Circuit Court yesterday a large portion of Mr. 'Jeffrey's letter is cited. The letter, which was written by Mr. Jeffrey under Viate of June 13, 1910. follows: i Letter Is Kmphatle. - "You will remember since the pres ent state manager, Mr. O'Malley, as sumed charge of the work of the order here in Oregon there has been trouble "of various kinds btween himself and the members. Most of this trouble has Jjeen of Mr. O'Malley's own creating and Jila work has now become so yrank" 'that when I tell you what I know 'about it I am sure you will be sur prised, to say the least, because I know vou have no motive except the good of fha order In selecting and keeping of state managers in office. "Various complaints have been made to me about many kinds of mismanage ment on the part of Mr. O'Malley, and especially the rank and wholesale 'forgery of application certificates. I have nothing to do wtth these matters general but have a particular one in my possession at the present time, .dated S-21-10, purporting to be an ex amination of Mr. William Roy Wilcox !hy Dr. W. O. Manion, medical examiner. IThis document is a forgery from one end to the other, and a very awkward and stupid forgery at that. It has been placed in my hands for the pur pose of prosecuting Mr. O'Malley for . , forgery. Now, I do not desire to Injure ;the order, as know a prosecution of this kind would. I am out of the or iier at the present time because of the mismanagement of O'Malley, to say toothing of the many other things he puis been guilty of which I could not countenance or associate with him be cause of. i Writer Would Auait Action. "I shall hold this matter for a few days pending consideration by your board, as you may desire to discharge .him from his position as state manager iupen learning the facts. I have noth ing whatever to do, of course, with Syour action in that matter, and no par ticular desire regarding the same. I imerely wish to give you. on behalf of "the order to which I belonged for sev eral years, a fair opportunity of straightening up its record if you so desire. My clients in this case may be willing to withhold prosecution for a short time, but 1 ain sure they would iot do so more than a we4k or 10 days it your board does not desire to act Bn the matter. I "1 have the absolute documentary !rroof in my possession, in the safe, Jwhlch will, beyond question, convict Vir. O'Malley of the crime of forgerv, jbut I do not desire to expose the order rr yourself to the notoriety which rould follow his arrest for the crime of forgery while state manager of the order. I have no particular personal fvellng in the nmtter, although Mr. VMalley did start out to make war Stpon me personally and in the order jipon his arrival iu the City of Port land. Or. He did this upon hearsay suggestions from some of my oppo nents in the order whose opinion I do not care a rap for upon any question. Since he did start the fight, however, I have no particular objection to giv ing him all. the fight he is looking for. Charge Is Specific. "This particular document which I refer to, now In my possession, was forged and written out in full by Mr. O'Malley in his own hand, and there can be no possible defense to a charge of its forgery against him. "1 think if Mr. O'Malley were outvof the way and some decent and respect able man In charge that the last mem bership of the order and its lost pres tige in the City of Portland could be speedily restored, as we all have faith in the order and in Its management by yourself and board of directors,, but as it is at present no one cares to as sociate with jailbirds in attempting to build up an honorable fraternal order." MAYOR IS WITNESS FOR DEVLIN Board of Trade Building Sale Is Question Before Court. Mayor Simon and J. V. Beach were witnesses on behalf of Receiver Devlin in the case of the Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bank, before Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday. They testified with regard to the charge that Mr. Devlin had used poor, judgment in the sale of the Board of Trade building to Gay Lombard lu 1907. Mr. Beach, who was legal advisor for Mr. Lombard in the negotiations, testilied that he had an opportunity to take an interest In the building, but declined to do so because he had not the neces sary faith in the proposition to warrant such action. He justified Mr. Devlin's act- in selling the building at a compara tively low figure. The case will be resumed Monday, when it is believed it will be completed. "CHINK'S'' WHITE WIFE WINS Dr. Wing Lee Must Supply Spouse With Decent Eatables. County Judge Cleeton yesterday ren- I dered a decision ordering Dr. Wing Lee. a Chinese physician at 27 North Fourth j street, to provide food such as white i people eat or to pay his white wife J a week for her use in this respect. She I had complained that the Chinese re j fused to provide other than noodles, chop suey and other dishes dear to the race into which she married. Mrs. Lee also charged Wing Lee with cruelty and trickery, and showed that he at one time caused her arrest on a charge of larceny, but she was acquitted. She also swore that he tried to starve her and that he had attempted to drive her away from his home. Wing Lee denied all this, and declared that his white wife had interfered with his med ical practice to a great extent. She was ordered by the court to desist. He is aged 74 and she 41. Portland Light Company Estopped. Pending the decision of the Circuit Court the Portland Hallway, Light & Power Company is estopped from laying a curved track from Its main line on Hawthorne avenue to East Twelfth street on what is technically known as a 12-foot radius, granted by permit of the City -Engineer. A complaint was filed in the Circuit Court by L. R. Fair field and Will Wurzweiler, owners of a lot at the corner. They alleged dam ages. The City Engineer states that he approves of the plan because It makes more room . for teams and pedestrians at the crossing, by running the cars closer to the curbs, and that there is no damage to the property. PACT PLAY INSPIRES ItE VENUE IS KEYNOTE, SAYS RETURNING PORTLAND MAN. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Wakerield Home From ' Six Months' Tour of Europe and Holy Land. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wakefield returned to Portland last week after a six months" trip abroad, during which they visited Egypt, the Holy Land, Greece, Italy, Germany and London and Paris. The travelers made a trip from Munich to Oberammergau to see the famous passion play. In speaking of this Mr. Wakefield said: "The exalted character of this wonder ful performance has not been overstated. In witnessing the very realistic scenes depicting the life of Jesus Christ and episodes in the Old Testament one ex perience's an emotion of the highest qual ity. The feeling of reverence which in spires all the actors In this sacred drama, from the highest to the lowest, affects the spectator, in a way hard to describe. As an evidence of the deep Interest taken in the performance, I would say that on the day we were In Oberammergau the spectators included kings and queens, bishops and personages of the highest station. The play began promptly at 8 o'clock in the morning with the firing of a cannon. The first part of the drama closed at noon, and the play began again at 2 o'clock and lasted until 6. During the eight hours there was not a miscue, not a false note. The Intentness with which the vast audience watehed the players showed what compelling power these simple peasant actors manifested. The tableaux were the moat beautiful I have ever seen." Replying to a question as to his opinion of the mercenary tendencies of the In habitants of Oberammergau, Mr. Wake field said that they disclaimed the charge. "It is not to be supposed," said ha, "that all of the people in the cast are inspired by a feeling of religious awe, but you can see there is a reverence about it all, a heartfelt emotion. The majority of the townspeople look upon the play as a re ligious observance, as it was originally and has been tor many years." When in Europe Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield saw several Portland people. They met Mr. and Mrs. Richard Nixon and Mr. and Mrs. J. K- Gill In Florence, and In Cairo came upon Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Devers and Mr. and Mrs. Bushong. They also visited the grave of the late Professor Johnson, of Portland Academy, whose body is burled In Florence. A month was spent In Egypt and all of the Im portant ctties of the Holy Land were visited. AVASSAJft LADIES' BAND.

Grand American fantasie Herbert GAR ILL EXHIBIT OREGON PRODUCTS Great Northern to Make Elab orate Display This Fall Through Middle West. CO-OPERATION IS ASKED Publicity Organizations of State Urged to Send Specimens Illus trating Resources Lecture to Be Given on Cars. What is considered one of the best opportunities ever presented to the residents of Oregon to exploit the re sources and commercial advantages of the state is the exhibit car of the Great Northern Railroad Company, the ar rangements for the equipment of which are now being made by the company. For the purpose of arousing interest In the subject among business interests of the city and among the people of the state generally. F. W. Graham, Western Industrial and immigration agent of tne road, is in the city and will devote much of his time to the movement dur ing the next month. The car will be made up exclusively of specimens of Oregon products and will be hauled free by the company on all the lines and divisions of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems. Every town of any consequence touched by the lines will be billed in advance of the arrival of the car and the people of the respective communities will be' invited to visit the car and see the dis play of exhibits. Lecturer to Go Along. A lecturer will accompany the car and explain to the visitors the purposes of the exhibit and supply Information con cerning the resources of the state. Among the features that will be given in the lecture will be the farming, dairying, stockralsing, lumbering, fishing and manufacturing industries, the nature and productivity of the soil of the various localities, irrigation and fruit raising, and the opportunities for additional thousands along these lines of endeavor will be set forth. The Portland Commercial Club urges the Oregon Development League and the publicity organizations of the state to co-operate in the enterprise and assist In gathering the finest displays ever sent out of the West. It Is desired that the specimens shall be collected as early as possible, so that the car can be sent on Its way to the Middle West by early Autumn, in time to be shown at many of the county and state fairs. Shipping Charges Paid. H. B. Wight, an expert of wide experi ence, has been engaged by the railroad company to prepare and process the ex hibits. Mr. Wight's headquarters will be at 69 Fifth street, where the speci mens are to be forwarded. It Is request ed that specimens be -sent by express. The 'harges of shipping will be paid by the railroad company and in cases where the shipments shall have been paid for in advance the company will refund to the shipper. It is pointed out that the exhibit car will be the means of attracting many people and much .outside capital to the state. The company last year sent a car of Washington state products to the Cen tra! States and the venture met with such success that it was decided not only to return the car this year, but also to give Oregon an equal opportunity to advertise its resources. It is asserted that fully 150,000 persons have been at tracted to Washington as a result of the car sent out from that state. The car that will represent this state will bear large placards on either side reading "The Oregon Exhibition Car." Before starting out on Its mission the car will be exhibited in Portland. . CALF LEADS TO ARREST Alan Who Sells Cow Claims Owner ship of Offspring. Insisting that when he sold a cow to John Ludy and John Karierln, he did not include her calf born later in the bargain. Ed Taylor, living at the Rainier Hotel, caused the arrest yesterday of the two purchasers, on a charge of stealing the calf. The arrest was made by Con stable Wagner. Ludy and Karierin are partners in a chicken ranch at Sylvan. Recently they purchased a cow from Taylor and in due time there appeared a wobbly-legged off spring with a vacant expression of coun tenance. Taylor demanded the surrender of the calf, and when it was refused, went to District Attorney Cameron, stat ing that the calf had been stolen. Not until the arrest had been Tnade did he relate the circumstances. Ludy and Karierin will be given a hearing in Justice Court Monday.

I wish to ask pioneers, descendants of pioneers and citizens gen erally, to give me all the information they can respecting William Mahar, or Maher, preferably the former spelling. Mr. Mahar. it Is believed, was a native of Indiana, and started from St. Joseph County, to California in 1850, and some time In the next two years came to Ore gon and settled not far from Portaln-d, but whether upon the west side of the river or the east side is uncertain. I shall be greatly obliged to any one for Information regarding this man. GEORGE H. HIMES. Assistant Secretary Oregon Historical Society. Klamath Falls Bonds Sold. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 23.

GREAT PROJECTS STARTED United Railway Men Put in Charge and Docks, Factories and Shops Will Probably Be Erected at Town of Burlington. . The election of an entirely Hill board of directors to head the Ruth Trust Company yesterday confirmed the many rumors regarding; the James J. Hill In terest in this company. " The following were the officers elected: President, O. W. Taylor; vice president, L. B. Wlckersham; secretary, A. C. Emmons. The board of directors consists of the foregoing; and John F. Stevens and E. P. Shannon. Mr. Taylor has been president for some time. Mr. Wlckersham Is chief engineer of the United Railways, a Hill line. Mr. Emmons Is the United Rail ways counsel; Mr. Stevens Is president of the Oregon Trunk and Mr. Shannon is his assistant. The election of the Hill board Is pre liminary to extensive operations to be carried on at Burlington, on the line of the United Railways and one of the properties of the Ruth Trust Company. It is understood docks are planned ani factories will be erected. It Is also rumored that shops for the Hill sys tem are to be erected at Burlington. A special meeting of the new board to be held next week Is expected to act with regard to these plans. Mr. Taylor left town yesterday and could not be-reached." When questioned on the subject Mr. Emmons said: "In directly things are planned there. I might say there are considerable ex tensions planned." On the plea that he was not fully acquainted with the company's con cerns, Mr. Emmons declined to answer further questions along those lines. "Does the Ruth Trust Company own Gearhart?" Mr. Emmons was asked. Mr. Emmons stopped for a moment. "I couldn't say," he began. "Just wheth er the property Is managed by the Ruth Trust Company as a trust or whether It is owned by the same interests. Before he left town Mr. Taylor said: "Gearhart Is owned by Interests very close to us." It Is generally agreed Gearhart Is controlled by the same Interests. When the property was first purchased the deeds were sent for examination to the Hill attorneys at St. Paul. Among the properties controlled by the Ruth Trust Company are Glencoe and Burlington. There Is also held 40 acres at Guild's Lake, but an option on a large part of this is held by the United Railways. The holdings of the company are estimated at $800,000. Mr. Emmons admitted Mr. Hill had owned a controlling interest in the company since shortly after the Hill control of the United Railways. . It Is understood special meeting of the board will be ealled for next week to take definite action with regard to Burlington. It was rumored that rail way shops for the Hill system were planned. Harriman Engineer Visits. John B. Isaacs, consulting engineer of the Harriman system, spent a few hours' in Portland yesterday. " He traveled In his private car. Mr. Isaacs left for East ern Oregon on train No. 6. He had no comments to make except a few laudatory ones regarding Portland. LATENT FIRE GLEAMS Writer Discusses Sew Amendment In Woman Suffrage Contest. PORTLAND. Or., July 2S- To the Edi tor.) I see by The Oregonlan of yester day that another "remonstance" has been filed against woman suffrage. This means, in other words, that the one woman in Oregon who poses as the State Association Opposed to the Further Extension of the Right of . Suffrage to Women has had another alphabetical "bornln. " this time under another ma ternal title. I am glad the batty -feas arrived and hasten to extend congratula tions. Meanwhile, I am happy to have dis covered, even though we did not notice CARPETINGS and DRAPERIES Floors, walls, ceilings, windows .and doorways can be treated most artistically and economically from our stock of floor "coverings and decorative fabrics. These immense stocks include practically all the standard weaves and fabrics, while new things, not to be seen else where are constantly arriving. During the past week we have received several colors of rich plush plain carpets with narrow self -tone borders, . new Axniinsters, Velvet and Wilton Carpets, in plain and figured effects, and a host of new Rugs. Our Drapery Department is showing many new and pretty Summer fabrics Cretonnes, Chintzes, Scrims, etc., etc., as well as Tapestries, Velvets, Damasks, Taffetas and Brocades. The Fall Wall Papers include everything from the most expensive Japanese leathers down to the cheapest bedroom papers, all pretty, decorative and out of the ordinary. Ammt r I J. G. MACK &r CO. It till after our final argument was filed with the Secretary of State, that the manly, mother-honoring men who had prepared and financed our petitions for us had omitted the words "white male" from the article proposed by them for our suffrage amendment, which, of course, excludes no woman. This opens the way to end our 40-year struggle for equal rights at the coming November election. We are so happy over this discovery that we feel like lending a hand to raise that alphabetical bantling, which " has been appropriately christened "Buncomb." ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNNING, President O. S.

All competitors in the recent meeting of the State Rifle and Revolver Asso ciation at Clackamas were beaten In the use of the revolver by Police Cap tain Moore, head of the Portland de tective department. Captain Moore meeting 20 contestants, made a score of 46 out of a possible 50 with the re volver, at 50 yards. One opponent made 45 and the field was far behind. Captain Moore Is not only the best pistol shot in the police force, which boasts of many good ones, but he is an earnest advocate also of training along that line, and largely to his efforts is due the efficiency of the men of the force in pistol-shooting.

Taylor Tells How Resort Is Becoming Famous and Shows Why This Is So. It is considered practically a fore gone conclusion that, late this Fall i new hotel will be built at Gearhart Park in addition to the Hotel Gearhart, completed this Spring. Emil Schacht & Son will draw the plans. "It's this way," said O. W. Taylor, president of the Ruth Trust Company, the concern which is in control of Gearhart Park now. "H. C Bowers, who looks after the hotel at Gearhart. was told that if he could demonstrate the need for a new hotel, one would be built. Well, Bowers is showing the need for one. all right. "There are accommodations for 90 patrons in the new building, and the annex, which is the old Kruse build ing, can take care of 60 more. Besides this, cots can be arranged to provide for 30 more. Last week there were 60 regular patrons at the hotel, besides the 125 pharmacists who were there for their convention.

It seems to be a favorite place for families, and the Lead of the house comes down for the week-end. "We consider this patronage suffi cient to warrant a new building for next season. It will be close to the present structure, and will contain sleeping rooms only. The dining room we have will accommodate 300, and we believe that will be enough for the present. "That resort at Gearhart Park Is be coming famous," continued Taylor. "We have besides good hotel accom modations a golf links as' good as can be found anywhere, tennis courts, a. new natatorium that cost $25,000, an auditorium for conventions, a wide, hard sand beach end a beaut'ful na tural park. Many cottages have al ready been built in the Summer home colony and more are to go up as soon as possible. "The natatorium is a feature that is proving more and more' popular. The salt water In it is heated by the hotel's own steam plant and is always fresh. The Multnomah Club swimming in structor. Arthur Cavill, Is at Gearhart Park this Summer, and has planned many features to make the surf bath ing attractive. Next Saturday and Sunday he will give a demonstration of how to rescue one who is drowning. Two boys will go out beyond the breakers, and Mr. Cavill will bring them in." Sales at Gearhart Park are active. E. C. Herlow combined business with his week-end outinjr last Sunday and when he came back to Portland he re ported the sale of an ocean front lot to Dr. Ralph C. Matson, a lot on the beach to W. B. Crane, a lot in the grove to Dr. Emmet Drake, two lots to Sarah Patterson Macqueen. All these people will build cottages. E. M.
