COMMISSION PLAN LIKED Eulted RtUcr Kubll Will Appoint Seven Men to Be Responsible for Arrangement for Big Convention in 112. Although the week beginning July . lili, has been tentatively fixed a the time for holding tha forty-eighth an nual convention In Portland of the Grand Lodge of Elks, tha date will be changed. If necessary, to prevent a conflict with either the Republican or Democratic National Convention. It haa been customary for the Elks to hold their National gatherings in the first full week in July, but this practice has been established by cus tom, and not by rule, to there 1 noth ing to prevent a change. Three yeara ago. when the Elks met at Dallas, tha datee were advanced a week to avoid a conflict with the DenTocratlc National Convention at Denver. If either of the big political partlei chooses the first week In July for the nomination of Its Presidential candi dates, it is likely that the Elks will start their session In Portland on July If. It Is considered desirable to hold the lodge meeting after the poli ticians have had their ay, aa In that event there will be mora time for lodge affair and the meetings will be more popular and more enjoyable. However, the principal reason for the desire to prevent a conflict lie in tn fact that many men who want to conie to the Portland celebration also will want' to help nominate tha Presidential candidates. One of these Is Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, past grand ex alted ruler of the Elks, who has ex pressed an eagerness to come to Port land for the celebration next Summer. Naturally he will be expected to at tend the Republican convention; also, he cant be at both places at once. There are hundreds of others prob ably not so well known who ara In a similar situation. The local lodge want to have all these here. Definite plan for handling the meet ing, will be made at one of the first lodge sessions in September. In the meantime K. K. Kubll. exalted ruler of the Portland Lodge of Elks, is re ceiving report from Philadelphia, Dal las, Loi Angeles. Detroit. Atlantic City and other places that have acted as hosts for the big meetings in the last few years, and will use the advice and information contained therein, so the week' festivities here can b handled- with the minimum of Inconveni ence and the maximum of success. Commission Plan Favored. When tha exalted ruler and other Portland Elk returned from Atlantic City last Monday, they announced themselves In favor of a commission plan for the general conduct of the convention, and the lodge ha author ised Mr. Kubll to carry out thl Idea by the appointment of seven men. each one of whom shall be at the head of one of the following departments: Parades, decoration, finance, general arrangements, accommodations, publi city and entertainment. These commissioner will be selected with the Idea that they shall devote a reasonable amount of time to the work and before he makes his selections the exalted ruler will confer with various member of the lodge to learn who among them are willing to take some of these responsibilities. He himself will act a ex-offlclo member of the commission. The commissioners then will appoint such sub-committees as they require. A plan that likely will be adopted here will be the awarding -of prixe for best decorated buildings and for excellence In various feature of the annual parades, similar to the prlxes given in past years In other cities.

As Plshop Scaddlng preached, although directly on the beach, his voice was heard distinctly above the roar of the urf. Bishop Kcaddlng returned to Portland Monday. Portland won four prlxes at Atlantic City this year. Incidentally, In winning the prize for the best decorated float, Portland scored a friendly triumph over Cincin nati lodge, which is one of the things concerning the recent meeting that Dr. Harry Lane likes to tell about. Cin cinnati ordered four motor trucks from an Atlantic City firm as early as last January for the accommodation of their member and their wives In the parade. Two days before the parade was held, they cancelled the order for two of them and consented to let Port land use them. As August Herrmann, retiring exalted ruler. Is a member of Cincinnati lodge, they endeavored to present attractive floats and took a professional decorator with them from Cincinnati. Portland had taken along a refrigerator car filled with roses and with an ample display of these rare flowers on the two trucks. Portland beat Cincinnati In the contest. Gus C. Moser, whose nominating speech stampeded the recent convention in favor of Portland, has returned. He Joins in the chorus of his brothers in warning Portland people that they don't realise the magnitude and Im portance of the convention which they will ba called upon to entertain next year. 1 LUMBER DEALERS PLEASED Reports of Grain Crops in Middle AVest Are Cheering. Local lumber and shingle dealers are pleased over the reports of grain con ditions In the Middle West recently presented to them by officials of the Burlington Railroad through A. C Shel don, general agent In thla city. The Burlington haa Just completed a canvass of Nebraska and reports that corn in the eastern section of that state is not earing properly, but that a full crop Is expected. East of the Lincoln Sioux City line it is earing splendidly, but rain would help. In Southeastern Nebraska corn is earing fairly well. Late corn la looking exceptionally well. Even the worst fields will produce 75 per cent of last year's crop. Reports from other parts of the Middle West are to the effect that corn and other grain ara doing well. This portion of the country is one of the best markets for the local lumber and shingle men and these reports augur good business In that territory.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. B.-Spe-ciaL) That the Toung Turks misgov ern with the same aDllity that charac terized the regime of Abdul Hamid, is the opinion of leaders In Turkish pro gress here. ' Behind the modernized aspect of affa'rs In the Turkish capital lurks a slow, red mischief that has been spelt out In letters of blood and smoking ruins in Albania, where the Roman Catholic element Is strong. ' It is In this province that the rule of the Young Turks is seen to mean nothing short of sanguinary misrule. It must be owned that there are great diffi culties in the administration of Albania that would try the genius of any coun try's statesmen. Though, like the Celts, the people may be one race, they are subdivided Into Moslems and Roman Catholics, and Into an astonishing number 'of clans and tribes. Among- these, blood feuds are always rife, ruthless dramas of private revenge that are played .put to a fatal finish among the Albanian hills. Abdul Hamid, scoundrel that he was, cleverly handled the Albanians, who were mostly loyal to 'him because he allowed them to have their own way. But this policy of non-interference has not been followed by the Young Turks, and since the 1908 revolution the prov ince has been in a state of open or slumbering revolt. Resentment has been fanned to fever heat by Constan tinople's determination to enforce Turkish taxation and compulsory mili tary service upon them. Private advices from Montenegro re flect a growing intensity of resentment over the Turkish policy that has driven so many homeless Albanians over the frontier. There is much evidence to how, too, that a violent anti-Christian propaganda has been carried on. "Good Moslems." called upon to defend Islam, became beasts of prey, and every Catholic woman and child of Gruda. Kastrati Hoti, and Skereli fled to Montenegro for safety, and that country's resources have been strained to sustain the refugees. For instance. General Nazlm Pasha lost his command In' Bagdad because h.e granted the great Irrigation contract to Sir John Jackson's English company. And a Baptist minister long resident in this city, a Britisher, complains that under the new regime he finds every obstacle put in the way of his crusade against the "white slave', traffic. The Influence of the Young Turkish party In Constantinople Is beginning to bring some women out of seclusion. Recently at a luncheon party in the American College for Women, at which several erentlemen were present, a Turkish family, consisting of father, mother and two daughters, were pres ent, the latter having graduated from the college. These three women were unveiled. But in spite of the convtn-.-cion-srnashlng conduct of a few bold" fplrits, Immemorial rule still debars Turkish women from entering any." public assembly. They cannot even enter a tea shop unveiled, and although' the enlightened women of the city are still constitutionalists, they are almost, as much disappointed with the new re gime, as the Albanians, because tley have not yet attained the full measure of liberty of which they had dreamed. . RAILROAD MEN INSTRUCTED Dr. Shields, of Red Cross, Gives In struction In "First Aid." SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 5. (Spe cial.) Co-operating with the American Red Cross Society, the Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Com pany is giving its employes a course of first-alL Instruction. -How to con struct a stretcher from two crowbars and coats; how to stop the blood flow from a severed artery; how to make splints for a broken limb, are some of the things recently treated by Dr. M. J. Shields before a large body of railway men in Seattle. Dr. Shields is a traveling representa tive of the Red Cross, in charge of a special car, now touring the Harriman lines. His lectures are simple and practical, containing much Informa tion that is important in emergency cases. By the dissemination of such knowledge, Dr. Shields said that one large railway and raining company, employing 28,000 men, had been able to reduce its death rate 50 per cent in three years. The Red Cross is interested in spreading first-aid knowledge as much as possible. The demonstration car has already traveled 17,000 miles and will continue to tour the country right nlong. Everywhere railway men take the greatest interest in its work, be cause they have frequent demands for Just such information. Despite the fact that the O.-W. R. & N. is a part of the system that has the fewest acci dents and fatalities of any line oper ating in America, its managers are anxious to have their employes so equipped and informed that they may be ready for any emergency. i FALL FRACTURES SKULL Miss Elsa Gunther Yet Remains in Unconscious Condition.
