oyster Bay, July 1s.-President
Roosevelt today received a committee
appointed last Sunday by the conven-
ton of the ccal miners and allied crafts
of Wnkesbarre. Pa. The mission OF the
committee was to present personally 10
the president a petition Teciting the
conditions in which organized labor has
been placed by the action of the author
tiles of Colorado, and requesting MIN
to institute an investigation of the Ia
Dor trouble in that state with a view
OF. remedying the conditions now exist
ing if possible. The members of the
committee, NJ. T. Burke of Carbonate,
Pa; Henry Zersovitz Of Plymouth, Pa,
and Frank Z. McCafferty of Victor,
Colo, are the men who came to oyster
Bay last week. but were unable on that
day 10 obtain a personal interview with
the president.

do to ameliOrate the condition existing
in the state of Colorado. He indicated
that an investigation of the labor trOu-
bles In that state is now being made
by agents Of the department of COM
merce and labor. Thus far the situa-
ton had not been such as would war
rant interference by the federal gov
eminent.
Following the presentation Of the
petition the president talked with his
callers on subjects of mutual interest.
The talk developed the fact that Mr..
HeTzOvitz had fought with President

ing inscription:

GRAND OFFICERS
CHOSEN BY ELKS
w, j. 0'Brien, Jr.. of Baltimore,
Elected Exalted Ruler.
CHARGES OF ExTRAVAGANCE
EVERY DOLLAR SAID TO HAVE
BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR.

Cincinnati, O., July 19.-While the
eighteenth annual reunion OF the Be
nevolent and Protective order Of Elks
has been in progress all this week. the
fortfeth meeting of the grand lodge
did not begin until today, when morn
ing. afternoon and night sessions we're
held.
There were but two candidates for
grand exalted ruler. The ballot result
ed as follows: w. J. O'Brien. II, OF
Baltimore, 40; Samuel H. Needs Of
Cleveland, 379.
When nominations were all made
recess was taken from O'Clock until 8
o'clock for the purpose Of having all
the nominations printed on the Aus
traIian ballot.
While the delegates were engaged in
these sessions there was much excite
ment among the visiting Elks over the
exposures in the annual reports about
the alleged extravaganza in the ex-
penses Of certain general officers and
the discrepancies between the different
rports.
It is alleged that these discrepancies
are due to the demoralized and incom-
plete condition of the records in the
Office Of Grand Secretary Reynolds.
No such explanation is given of the
=
extravaganza. Needs reports that the
eighty-six district deputies drew S3,O39
al the Baltimore reunion last year,
while the standing committees and
grand lodge drew HOSP. He COM
mendS the deputies for not handing in
exOrbitant expense accounts and asks
that the grand treasurer he given more
executive power, suggesting a system
OF checking expenditures.
Woman Was Curious.
There has been much comment re-
garding a woman in Ballard, Wash,
securing the secrets of the Elks initia-
tory services by spying through the
windows. Exalted Ruler Tanning said
she seemed to have an extravagant de-
sire for nOtOriety. This woman was
monies. but the newspapers had
greatly exaggerated the case and the
investigati ton showed that her knowI-
edge was not sufficient for concern and
the Ballard lodge was exOnerated-
Judge O'Brien, new grand ruler, in
an interview tonight stated that there
was nothing in the sensational rumOrs
about extravaganza on the part of the
PAST grand officers of members of the
committees. He said that every dollar
had been accounted for by the auditor
and auditing committee; that the dis
Crep2ncies were due to the incomplete
ness of the records Of the grand secre-
tary and TO lack Of detail in the execu-
tive reports.
The selection of the place for the
grand lodge meeting and the reunion
next year is a special order for . p. m
tomorrow, to which hour the grand
lodge has adjourned on account of the
parade during the forenoon tomorrow.
