"' Los Angeles. Cal.. July It. Through the ahortest line of march of any parade In the history of the DIM grand "lodge, the column that marched yesterday In delegations) as at body, was three hours gassing the reviewing stand ana inero y earning the distinction of being the greatest aggregation that ever moved through -the streets of Los Angeles.' It la estimated that 20,00 persons partici pated, but it was owing to me vanea formation of the 'different lodges and the many untque features, that the line was so extended. Spokane tnade a hit, a Its members were clad In conti nental uniform and followed a diminu tive field piece, which was fired at in tervals. There were othera who earned their applause, but the Oregon delega tion received its plaudits on the most distinctive feature. The mammoth brass drum of the Baker .City, band, which is one inch greater In diameter than any other drum In the world, led the Beavers and was carried by Will Leavens, district state deputy, and three mtAm rtn tha dnim there were inscribed various facts regarding Oregon and theJ commercial advantages, ana reeourcee Of the Inland Empire. ' - " -'- Portland lodge No, I4t, with Its full strength of visiting members, marched "In extended formation. Their uniforms were white and purple, while each marcher carried a Japanese parasol u the same colors. t The big reception given by the Port landers at the Hotel Angelua was the most heavily patronised of any function of convention week. The parlors of the hotel were decorated for the event, Amerivan Beauty rosea almost as large and fragrant as those Portlanders grew at home, and potted palms predomlna tins . Various women members of the party assisted m receiving,- serving 'punch and- presenting the seurenhbooka,- while Dr. Harry McKay, ;'Doo." ; Cornelius "Billie" Moore and other took the lead In getting acquainted with thejr guests who were mostly easterners who had i. wA nf ilia Reaver coterie. ..-. It Is planned by the Oregwilans to leave Bunaay or moooir iw wHiia thM win not so In a body. most of them will depart at that time. ; WATER WASTE ' (Continued, from Pags One.)

He, Quimby ad Henry Snyder, now lirihe' east. w" standing on the corner ' of Seventeenth and Morrison Streets atour s o ciocjc in ine evening, all about to separate and go their dif ferent ways home.' Mrs. Brown passed aad spoke to Mr. Main, who Introduced her to hie two friends. . ... Mr. Main declared he had not seen tne woman until the day they a ran it tne glaas of beer together,' and she corrob orated him In this. , Both averred that they had never gone to any theatre, cafe r place or amusement logemer. and nan iad nothing to do one with the other. Later in the morning Mr. Main, ac companied by a representative of The Journal, went to Mrs,. Brown's home. In detail Mrs. Brown explained' her first meeting with Mr. Main at his home on Seventh street and also brought out clearly the fact that she was Introduced to mm oy nis wire, one etpiainea to the reporter that she had never seen Mr. Main excent to barely- sneak to him on the street, and told . of his Introducing her to Mr. Qulmny ana Mr. snyoer. "I was i staggered," - asserted Mra Brown, "when I read 'today that Mr. Brackett had accused Mr. Mam and Mr. Quimby of the shooting. I know with out the. measure of a doubt that tUey had nothing to do with If." t - v Mrs. Brown emphatically dented that She has had any relatives or. male friends -. who. out of Jealousy, might have attacked Mr. Brackett. i "Wrong" Man" Ber Theory.

"I most eertainlv did) know" that Mr. Main was 'married." she averred. "His wife -introduced him to ma - J ' "I:-always understood that both' Mr. Quimby and Mr. Brackett, had been married, : but 'T that neither was living with his wife. 1 1 would have had noth ing to do with either If I had known they were supposed to. be Hying with ineir -wives. ; . . - Mm Rrown eaid. however, that Mr. Main had never led hep to believe .thai either of the two. were not living with their mates. She . had never had an opportunity to talk of them with Mr. Main. ,, - - . ' - , ; ' , . Xore ICysterr. yirtert has been added to the shoot ing -because of - the fact that, accord ing to Mra Brown, about three quarters or an hour munt nave eiapsea oeiween the time Mr. Brackett left her at her front door and the time of the attack, J according to witnesses, was made. "Mr. Brackett left "me at the., front door shortly before 11:30 o'clock, "de eland Mrs., Brown, after telling of the trip to the union station and the ride to couneir - ureal, -i went into me house at once, and for ' some time sat talking to my 17-year-old son In the alttlna- room.

Braoxen Mnent,. . Interviews with , Mr. Brackett. ac cording, to the detectives and Deputy District Attorney jruxgeraia, wno is handling the case Of the state, are most unsatisfactory, not only because of his condition, but because of the fact that he Is evidently attempting to conceal all he knows. . . . -"Mv interview witn BracKeii inurs day gave us little Information," said Mr. Fitzgerald today. "He , evidently knows who were the men who attacked him -and knows them without question. He Is only fearful that It will not be necessary, to give out all the Informa tion In case he recovers, and being hopeful that he will. Is holding It back." If Braclcett taxes a turn lor ins worse and Becomes .. rrigntenea, . r, Fitzgerald believes he will make a full confession.' - ... Prisoner Despise Work. Oakland Cat. July 16.

On the hearing of the case, however,, the 'Court will be asked to declare the election void .and thereby knock out the result of the annexation.
