Past Grand Exalted Ruler John P. Sul livan of the grand lodge of Elks was at the railway station an hour Monday eve ning between 8 and 9 o'clock on his re turn trip from Portland to New Orleans. R. W. Patrick, exalted ruler of the lo cal' Elks lodge, together with John ' A. Rine, Raymond P. Toung and Moses J. Flynn met him at the station. In regard 'to the resolutions passed by a convention of Baptists denouncing the Elks as an order of unprincipled men, Mr. Sullivan said this resolution' was adopted before the Baptists had full knowledge of the case that prompted ac tion. A crowd of rowdies took posses sion of the city one evening while tho Elks were in session In Portland and carried the city with a high hand of lawlessness for a few hours. The police force could not get officers enough to gether to stop the trouble at once. The next day the Baptists, in their assembly, believing 1 that 1 the ' trouble had been caused by visiting Elks, drew up the resolution denouncing the order and ex pressing the hope that it could event ually be abolished. Mr. Sullivan said there were no Elks In the prowd that stirred up the trouble and produced a copy of the Portland Oregonlan of July 12, in which a lengthy discussion of the affair had the following to say In part: Rlff-Raff Starts Trouble. "That element was not composed of Elks or their friends. They were7 only the riff-raff that always follows in the wake of any great fiesta. The city had not. enough officers on the street last night to maintain discipline." Sir. Sullivan said this was the best and most businesslike grand lodge meet ing that had been held by the Elks. A special train of 120 Elks from Omaha at tended the lodge meeting. They have not yet ail returned as they broke up out there and will not return by special train. Many are making side trips before returning. -5 Chinaman Invokes Law of Bankruptcy The first bankrupt Chinaman in the memory of those connected ? with the Omaha division of the federal court Is Sam Jay Joe, who has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy.

Notice was sent to the agents In Ne braska, instructing them to talk with farmers, grain buyers and elevator men and from them secure conservative esti mates ss soon as threshing commenced. Reports are beginning to come In from the counties along the south line of the state and considering the fact that all of the grain Is reported to be of the best quality In years, the report is very satisfactory. The reports are from coun ties where the precipitation was the light est and consequently it Is predloted that over this area the grain will run much less per acre than farther north.
