'', Fraternal insurance rates will be dis
cussed at .IrnJustrv hall this evening. In
connection with ths proposed adoption of
a plan by the Oregon jurisdiction of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen. The
plan recommended by ths supreme lodge
will bet presented by Ralph Fsensy, a
past grand master of ths Oregon arrand
lodge. The negative -was to have been
discussed by J. E. Werlein. but as ha Is
111 It is expected bs wlU send a substi
tute.. - '-
Ths object of the discussion Is to edu
cate members of tha A. O. V. W. along
the line of higher rates and aafsr Insur
ance. Ths supreme lodge haa presented
long-considered proposition to state
jurisdictions, by which members - are
given a choice of two or three plans of
continuing their old Insurance policies or
applying ror new ones. - The supreme
lodge plsn has been adopted by 24 state
Jurisdictions, Including California, Penn
sylvania, fiew York, Texas, Colorado,
Connecticut, North Dakota, West Vir
ginia, Oklahoma. Indiana, Michigan, Illi
nois and Ob la Opposition In Oregon
has come' from the older members, upon
whom a heavy advance In rates would be
made. The member who at 70 years of
age Is paying an assessment of 11.61 on
a $2,000 policy would have to pay 11.40
to place bis Insurance on a sound basis.
The new plan proposes . two waya by
which, ha may secure material advan
tages without paying the full increase
named. ...These features of ths plan will
bs discussed at this evening's meeting.
ths .level rats unoer tne new plan is
based on f 1.24 per 11.000 for the age of
21 years. Members -preferring the step

There haa been a cnanre or sentiment
In the Oregon grand lodge since the

Toledo. O.. March I. How far tha
fact that perjury haa been proveqlnJ
jaoa; i-mi testimony aiainsi ueorn
Lietcber in the arson cases at Bryan will
go with the Jury is to bo determined.
When it was decided to place listener on
ths sUnd In his own behalf the de
fence showed its big card, an effort to
prove conspiracy to convict Letcher at
the expense of ths several otners.
Letcher made this statement:
"Pratt's evidence en the stand will be
taken Intu a California court. He stated
certain facts in the presence of reput
able witnesses and today ha repudiates
ths statements A man cannot swear
to the-facts In one stats and make an
ODoeaits declaration on the same sub
ject"' In another state without being
sulltv of something."- ' '
- The state scored again whea Judge
Donnelly overruled the motion of the
Letcher defense to -direct a. verdict be-
eaass of Insufficiency of evidence and
to strike. out a portion of Jack rages
evidence as that Of a conspire ton (
T" " " Vaattmomv of Clornsa,....!-.-.
Judge Donnelly in . his -decision aald
that when he came to charge tns jury
he .would tell them ths evldenoe of a

should be arlven careful eonaldsratlon.'
"A verdict can be based upon the
Judge Donnelly "If tha Judge believes
ths witness when ths case Is placed In
the court's hands for Instructions to ths
Jury. I shall tell tne Jury- tnat tns evi
dence of such a witness is dangerous."
Attorney Burchard charged ths state s
attorney with putting tns most oamn-
sola testimony in tha mouth of that wit
ness svsr offered in court.
A conversation between a eo-ooneplra
tor and a dead man,' said Burchard. "Is
what they have offered. This witness

in the closing argument of counsel for
ths defense It will be asserted tnBt
their testimony has been successfully
Impeached and their witness will no
doubt receive a scathing arraignment
Should Oeorgs E. Letcher be acquitted
of arson,.-nd conspiracy to defraud in

Suggests That Resorts Where
Minors Are Entertained, Be
' Closed by the Police.
"How to prevent boys of IS to 20
years of age from frequenting ths north
end Is one of ths pu sal Ing problems that
has been presented to ths people of this
elty," said Sheriff Word this morning.
"Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights

We found large numbers of boya under
age roaming the streets - and In resorts

'It seems - to me that proper care
would put. an and to such ' deplorable
conditions. Certainly the facta ascer
tained In our Investigations warrant
soma radical action. Tha officers Of the
law Bhould.be able In some way to curs
an evil .that Is all ths - more flagrant
because of ths promise It gives of In
creasing the number of lw breakers.
TVs ordered the lads out of ths re
sorts, but found them there again every
time ws returned. It may be necessary
to make some arrests In order' to lessen
the svil.", ..;' - -.
While the conditions In ths north end
srg better, than they .were before the
sheriff made his raid On the Parts and
Little Paris nouses, there Is an Immense
smount of work yet to be done. , -
Hsd this office - the authority given
by ths city ordinances," ' said Sheriff
Word, "the way would be. clear. "TT
would be comparatively easy to put a
stop to the major, portion of ths open
violation or tne law in tne north end." -
