ELKS AT PORTLAND
MAKING PREPARATIONS.

Portland, Ore, Dec. l3-(Special J
A commission form of government,
similar in many respects TO that now
in use by many of the lending cities Of
the country, has been adopted by the
Elks of Portland for handling the busi-
ness Of the grand lodge convention to
be held in this city next July.
There are ten commissioners whose
work is divided under the following
heads: General arrangements, recep-
tion, grand lodge, decorations, finance,
entertainment, parades and music, no
tells, publicity, treasurer. X. X. Kubli,
Exalted Ruler of the Lodge, occupies
the position of chairman, correspond
ing to the office of mayor. Harry G..
McAllister, former state fish and game
commissioner of Oregon, has been elec-
ted secretary of the commission and is
general manager of the convention.
The plan is proving very successful.
In view of the fact that the city of
Portland is now engaged in campaign
for the adoption of the commission
plan in the government of its munich
pal affairs, the progress of the Elks is
being watched with special interest.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 1O.-Follow-

the office of State Commissioner of Ag-
riculture I. f. Peck, by Chief Clerk E.
0. Luther, Mrs. Alexander charges
Luther's conduct toward her has been
devoid of 'every gentlemanly in

presence in the office he exposed his
leg to her, called on The chiropidist,
and had a corn removed, and. that this
was for the purpose of insulting her.
Mrs. Alexander has been in the de-
partment of agriculture for five years,
having been appointed under a demo-
cratic administration. She is a mem
ber of a prominent family. Luther
has assigned no reason for the peremp-
tory discharge.

Knoxville, Dec. 11.--At a meeting of
the committee of the East Tennessee
Teachers Association held at the Hotel
Imperial Saturday afternoon, johnson
City was selected for 1912 convention.
The association has always met in
Knoxville or Park City, but it voted
this year to go TO Johnson City in order
that the teachers may have an oppor-
tunity to visit the new East Tennessee
state normal. Prof. J. r. Lowry, pres
ident of the association, wanted to
bring the convention to Knoxville and
then arrange for an excursion to be OPP
Grated to Johnson City and thus give
the teachers an opportunity to visit the
normal, but the majority favored hold
ing the convention in that city, and IL
was finally made unanimous.
The convention will meet Thursday
night before Easter and be in session
until Saturday afternoon. Efforts will
be made to make it the most successful
convention in the associations history.

PECK'S STENOGRARHER
SUMMARILY DISMISSED

Nashville, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Sarah Alex.
ander, for five years stenographer to the
commissioner of agriculture, was per
emtorily discharged this morning. 1t
is said that Mrs. Alexander lost her
place because in sending out passes to
attend the recent Middle Tennessee
farmers institute she happened to send
some to democratic farmers. Mrs. AL
exander says she was released, as she
believes, because Commissioner Peck
got it into his head that she had some
connection with an alleged sending out
of bogus passes to the recent farmers
institute. She says that Commissioner
Peck ordered her turned off.
f. o. Luther, chief clerk to the com.
missioner, says that he did it. He says
that he has been there for five or six
months, and that Mrs. Alexander had
never recognized him as chief clerk of
the department.

Governor Patterson Has Decided
to Leave Memphis at Once for
the Scene of the Shooting.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. S.-M.C. Patter-
son, son of Former Gov. Patterson, OF

fering from u wound through the left
lung, inflicted by bullet from 80
calibre revolver
The shooting occurred in Seals livery
stable. There was no witness.
Patterson, it is claimed, had been
drinking heavily in Port Orchard sa-
looms for two days and had called upon
Seal to drive him out to the Patterson
ranch last night. Seal says that as soon
as he had taken Patterson to his home,
the latter demanded to be taken back
to Port Orchard again, distance OF
four miles. Seal says that several times
on the lonely drive back to town Pat
terson threateningiy displayed a revoI-
yer. On their arrival at the liverai sta
BILE, he says, Patterson ask ed him to go
down town with him and on being re-
fused, drew his revolver and fired two
shots, the first going wide, and the sec.
ond striking Seal III the left lung.
Patterson went into the street and
gave himself up. He is now held in
the Kitsap Jail on a charge of assault
in the first degree.
Patterson is twenty three years old.
He recently came west from Memphis,
where he has wife. He went TO Port
Orchard about a month ago and bought
a ranch four miles south of that town.
In speaking of the affair, he said that
he shot in sef defense, after Seal had
threatened him with a shotgun.
Seal is twenty two years old and has
been a resident of Port Orchard for two
years,
Letters found in the possession of
Patterson substantiate his assertion
that he is a son of former governor of

PASSES ARE
ISSUED TO FARMERS
A SENSATION IS BREWING
In Mr.. Peck's Office-Chief Clerk
Laher Says He is on the Scent
and May Tell Something.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 9.--Scarcely
before the farmers reached their homes
in the outlying counties it leaked out
at the capitol that scores of them at
tended the tenth annual institute on
what are thought by the agricultural
department to be ''bogus passes.
The agricultural department had
permission 10 issue and send out about
2,000 certificates of transportation to
farmers in the Middle Tennessee coun-
ties, giving them free rides to the meet
ing. These 1900 men were on hand,
and scores and scores of others besides.
They came on passes, most of which
were like the certificates sent out by
the department in every particular ex-
cept one-that one difference told the
tale.
Where these passes came from, how
they were issued and distributed is
puzzling the commissioner of agricul-
ture and his men.
Mr. Luther, chief clerk to Commits
sioner Peck, says he is scenting trail,
and that he thinks he will be able to
tell something in day or so. AS to a
score or more of the passes not issued
by the present department he can ac-
count for. He says that this number
came on passes issued by John Thomp-
son in 1908, when he, as commissioner
of agriculture, issued the passes and
gathered the farmers in. But il is the
big bulk of them that is bothering him.
