One of the liveliest crowds of Elks week promenaded through the court of honor along Sixth, Seventh, Yamhill and Stark street last night before the lights went out for the last time at midnight. but there was little of the threatened disorder. This was largely due to the efficient work of Captain of Police Joe Keller and the squad of men who policed the long promenade way under him. Keller had 80 patrolmen stationed along the court -of honor, four at every street crossing, and two in the middle of each . block. He made a point ef breaking up trouble before it started, and two or tliree times took a hand himself In stODDlnar youths who were inclined to overstep the limits. Instead of arresting them, In most cases Keller gave them a spanking or a shaking that made their teeth rattle, and sent them on their way. This treatment proved more effective than half a doien arrests would have been, and wherever the stocky captain shoul dered his way, youngsters with big wads of paper ribbons In their hands, nicked off the dirty street, who were thrusting them in ,the faces of girls, made haste to drop them at his com rnand.

ADVERTISING EVENT SINCE EXPOSITION Prominent Men All Agree Port land Will Reap Handsome Benefits From Reunion, Portland's Elk visitors spent between 11,000,000 and $1,500,000 in the city last week, by conservative estimates, but that Is a mere Item to the benefits con ferred by the grand lodge reunion In an advertising way, It was pointed out yes terday by such men as Edgar B. Piper, president of the Commercial club; F. C. Knapp, president of the Cnamber of Commerce: and A. G. Clark, president of the Ad club. "The greatest single advertising event for Portland since the Lewis and Clark exposition," was how Mr. Piper tersely summed . up the value of the convention. Curiously enough, afcd sig nificantly. Mr. Knapp and Mr. Clark made the same comparison. And more Important even than the di rect advertising benefits, Is held to be the fact that the convention has en abled Portland, so to speak, to "find herself." It required something like this great gathering of Elk visitors, es tlmated at 50,000 at the least, to bring home to Portland folk the natural ad vantages of their town ss'a convention city, and th ltact that they can enter tain eastern people so successfully. It was further pointed out. "I think the Elks' convention has been the greatest single advertising event for Portland since the Lewis & Clark ex Bosltloft." "sid Mr. Piper.

DECLARES EXPULSION IS GROSS INJUSTICE Dramatic Exit of "Blonde Boss" Marks End of Bitter Fight. (United PrM Imed Wire.) Washington, July 13. William Lorl mer. senator rrom Illinois, was me record blotted lata this afternoon from the senate rolls, stricken forever, with the statement that "corrupt methods and praetices were used in his election Tonight In an office in Uie senate office building, a bulky, tawny haired man sat before a mahogany desk. It was "William Lorimer, "Boss Lorlmer,' BUI Lorlmer," the "Blonde Boss," bu not "Senator Lorlmer. It was not evon Former Senator Lorlmer." For his ex pulsion from the senate by a vote of 65 to 28, carried the stigma that he was never legally elected and never entitled to his scat. At Lorlmer's elbow were scattered sheaves of yellow paper. They were telegrams of sympathy, messages of hope, expressions of steadfast confl dence and allegiance from scores of friends In Illinois, and In many other states. Sot Broken In Spirit. Defeated, humiliated and barred even from ever again entering the senate chamber. Lorlmer tonight was not crushed and broken. To many friends who called, he re newed his protestations of Innocence of the legality of his election. Late tonight Lorlmer consented to make a brief statement to the news paper men regarding his future course of action. "I must think things over and talk to my friends before I can say whether I shall go into a political fight," he de clared. "The place for me to make fight, should I determine upon such course would be before, the -People In candidates for the legislature, which will select my successor, have already been selected by now. Consequently cannot go Into the coming fight. Thu I shall nave to wait until two years hence. I have not looked that far ahead, Before reaching any decision on that point I want a full opportunity to talk with my friends back home Lorlmer said he had neglected Ms personal affairs to make his "fight fo Justice" In the senate, and that for considerable period at least he would want to devote all his time to catchln up. Unless he was called to New York on Monday on a business trip, Lorimer declared he would leave for his . Wis consln summer home within the next few days, there to rest up after hU battle In the senate and to arrange his private affairs. Exit Is Dramatic. When Lorlmer rose from his desk at 2:05 this afternoon and swaggered defi antly through groups of senators who had voted to purge the senate of his presence, he stepped out forever. Ilori mer's exit was. dramatic, in that thrill ing climax of the longest, bitterest fight in the history of the senate, In which the seat of a rnember was attacked. "Fifty-five members nave voted " "aye" and 28 'nay' and the resolution Is there fore adopted," was the droning declara tion of the presiding officer. Every eye turned to Lorlmer. 8ome were dimmed with emotion. Senator Tlllmm bowed his head, while tears coursed down his cheeks. His shoulders shook with emotion. The vast crowd In the galleries was hushed enthralled by the tragedy enncted before them. Only the correspondents In the press gallery, in a panic of haste to hurtle the news to th wailing- world, were oblivious. Lorimer sat apparently ulupofled for one or two seconds. Then he raised his handkerchief and brushed back his yel low curls. His eyes raised a moment to the gallery where a group of sombre garbed Catholic nuns looked down upon him. He lowered his gaze, roee sturdily from his chair and0strode heavily, al most defiantly toward the cloak rooms. Shouldering his way through little knots of silent senators, Lorlmer was blocked at the swinging ante room (Continued on Page Seven.)
