Norfolk, va.-As the time approaches
for the great Elks' convention. which
meets in this city the latter part of this
month, speculation is very pronounced
as to the future policies of tbs order.
As we look back over the fourteen or
ffteen years Of the activities that con-
fronted the Negro Elk relative to his
vital existence and compare them with
the efforts of the present regime we
are forced to admit that The personality
of DR.. James E. Mills. past grand ex-
alted ruler. stands out in bold relief as
a principal factor in furthering the
progress of this order.
1t is admitted that during his regime
consolidation was accomplished and
that the same is an acknowledged fact
throughout the brotherhood. That the
organization needs a man at its head
well versed In its methods. one who can
give to the order every function that
pertains to its ritualistic workings. Is
an urgent demand. and as We compare
the past with the present and view the
many inactive lodges, numbering at
least forty. 1t Is essential that man
who b willing to work along these
lines and bring in these lodges Is the
demand Of the order. and DR.. Mills Is
at this time the one person to put this
order in its rightful attitude ~ con-
sistent with its principles.
For fifteen years this organization
has been freighted with external and

SUPREME COURT TODAY RE-
VERSES CONVICTION IN
FAMOUS DAVIS MURDER CASE
Case 'Remanded to Circuit Court for
New Trial. Will Probably be
Tried at the August Term of the
Circuit Court.
Walter L. Tooze, Jr.. attorney fo

Walter l.. Tooze, Jr., attorney for
Louis w. Davis, appointed by the
Court to defend Davis, received in
formation today from Salem that the
Supreme Court las reversed the iudg-
ment IT conviction rendered in the
Davis murder case, and remanded
the case to the Circuit Court of Polk
County for new trial. Error in law
occurring at the trial in the August
term of Court of last year affecting
the substantial rights of the defend
ant formed the grounds for reversal
Upon conviction of the crime of mur-
der in the second degree,-Davis was
sentenced by the Court to life impris-
onment and was taken to Salem. He
will now be returned to stand trial.
Davis was tried upon a charge of muir
der in the first degree, it being alleg-
ed that he shot and killed his mother
in-law, Mrs. Eliza j. Stewart, at Ball
ston, on June 30th, 1913. The trial
consumed the better part of a week,
and the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty of murder in the second de-
gree. Davis, through his attorney,
fled a motion for a new trial, which
motion was denied by the Circuit
Court, and then the case was appealed
to the Supreme Court, and the effect
of the decision of the Supreme Court
is to give Davis a new trial. Upon
the next trial, Davis cannot be CON
victed of more than murder in the
second degree, murder in the first de-
gree not entering into the case at
all.

The annual conference of the Evan
gelical church of Oregon and WASH
ington that has been in session in this
city for the past week has ended and
the large attendance were well pleas
ed with the hospitality shown them
by the citizens of Dallas. A great
deal of work was accomplished. Cor
wallis will have the next meeting that
city being chosen. Delegates to the
general conference elected were &C.
C. Polling, A. A. Winter, Ministerial
and II. Barendrick and w. II. Stauff-
er, lay delegates.
The committee on education report
ed favorably on the proposal to fed
crate the educational interests of
three churches and the report was
adopted by the conference, upon the
that the citizens of Philo-
math raise an endowment fund of
$4,000 for the school that will result
from a consolidation of Dallas College
and Philomath College. The action of
this conference must be concurred in
by the conferences of the United
Brethren Church and the Evangelical
Association before it will be effective.
The conference also passed a resolu-
lion favoring federation of the two
Evangelical societies in one church or

FRUIT PROSPECT fine.
The Prospect for Large Fruit Crop
Never Was Better in Polk County.

The Corvallis Gazette-Times says
that the fruit outlook in Benton
County is excellent The same here
in Polk and as they say:
The prospect of an enormous fruit
crop was never better than at this
time. Such is the expression of many
men who have orchards in blossom.
The blossoming is heavy, the bees are
at work, fertilization seems to be pro
crossing satisfactorily, and there now
seems little fear of frost that could
do damage. The season is two weeks
ahead of last year, and in 1913 the
heavy killing frosts came April 81,
% and 90. If none come before that
time this year, fruit will be so far
advanced that frost is not liable to do
any real damage But experienced
fruit men are inclined to the belief
that there will be no late frosts this
season. These frosts are said to come
only when there is heavy snowfall
in the mountains that remains until
late in the spring. The snow still in
the mountains is light at this time
and no more is likely to fall, so those
who claim to keep fairly accurate tab
on such situations are confident that
The 1914 fruit prospects are all that
could be desired at this time.
This section is becoming more and
more of a fruit region and successful
seasons mean much in directing out
side attention to what we have to
'ffer. They also mean much in di-
'ecting the attention of orchard own
rs to the proper cultivation, -prun-
ng and spraying Of their orchards
hey can see in their neighbours sue
ess the possibilities that lie before
themselves.

An Explanation.

The Observer regrets that in its
last Issue it stated that the city elee.
tion was TO be held on Tuesday in.
stead of Monday. We were sincere
in the statement as in conversation
with the city clerk when we received
the data as to the voting place, we
asked if the, election date is like all
eleetions2 that is the first Tues
day following the first Monday. He
might not have understood the ques-
tion as he did not reply we took 81
lence for consent. On Saturday when
We found out our mistake the writer
went to the Mayor and said we find
that the election is on Monday instead
of Tuesday if the city will distribute
them, the Observer will print 1000
dodgers free. saying in letters that
Monday Is election day. and correct
ing the error, We make this explana-
tion as it has reached our ears that
some one stated the mistake was an
intentional one Evil to him who evil
thinks. be he saint or simmer.

over SIX TONS
It Costs Money to Hold Primaries.
Expense More Than Double any
Previous Year.

Over six tons of election supplies
were shippedby county clerks of the
"a counties of the state for the prim.
ary election to be held May Ii. This
is more than twice as great a quantity
as was ever prepared before for an
election in Oregon.
When the boxes of election supplies
were piled in the state house corridor
ready for shipping that section Of the
capital looked like a warehouse plat
form. There were A boxes, weighing
over six tons, or approximately 12,435
pounds. They held 1900 poll books,
1900 tally sheets and 1900 statements
for each of the three political parties
participating in the primaries; 1850
abstracts of votes, 1878 oaths of Of
fee, 1923 dozen brass clips for fasten-
ing ballots, 2S2 dozen needles for
stringing ballots, $40 dozen of indeli-
BILE pencils, 5000 copies of election
laws and 60 receipt books.
The cost of printing alone, which
does not include the election pamph-
lets, was $4O5O, besides 1880 pounds
of paper were used.
