a prominent Pasadena Elk, with a
story of hard luck. Green took him
to Commissioner Medill, who is eX-
alted ruler of the local lodge. and final
~ gave the man $40. A little later, it
is alleged, the same man told the same
story to Confectioner McCord, who also
insisted on taking him to see the eX-
alted ruler Harper demurred at this

acquaintance, and quickly left the city.
