KNIGHTS F|GH I OVER ELECTION
 OFFICERS

PORTLAND. Ore, Aug. 3. The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, which is meeting here In twenty ninth biennial convention, and the Su- preme Temple, Pythian Sisters. were to be in almost constant session throughout the day. The principal business before the Supreme Lodge was the election of officers.
 Since the first of the week move ment has been under way to bring about the election of a western man as supreme vice-chancellOr. This Is equivalent to electing supreme chan cellor, as the invariable rule of the body Is to advance the vice-chancel- Tor at the next election.
 In the half century of the history of the fraternity, the west has never had a supreme chancellor. Among the western candidates whose names have been put forward are Robert F. Burns, of California, and Charles F. Davis, of Colorado. William Ladue, of New York, and w. F. Booming, of Maryland, are among the eastern men who have been prominently mentioned for the vice-chancellorship.

W OMEN POLICE MAKING GOOD
 IN LONDON

LONDON, Aug. 3. - Women police are making good, according to the chief officer of the Women's Police Force. They are employed in muni- ton factories very largely to search the ingoing and outgong women work CTS for contraband, keep order in trains, to inspect passports and to pa trol the lanes and yards. They get $1O weekly with railway fares, ser geants receive $11 and inspectors SIP The chief officer says school teachers are particularly wanted for the force, as their training fits them admirably for police duties which require good tempers. patience and tact with firm ness.
 The girls in the factories appear to be very fond of the women police. and the government are asking for more to be appointed at various intuition works throughout the country.

YOUNG MAN DISAPPEARS;
 INFORMATION WANTED.

The governors office is in receipt of letter from Mrs. w. c. Middaugh, 6S9 West Ninth Street, Tulsa, Okla homa, in which she asks for informa- ton concerning her son, Moncel Mau- rice Middaugh, who has been missing since June 6, 1914, and who, she be- lieves, may be in Alaska.
 Young Middaugh disappeared from Logansport, La, where he was em- ployed in the civil engineering depart ment of the Texas Company, on June 6, 1914. His mother states that he had frequently talked of going to Alaska. and she believes that he may have come to this territory. Young Middaugh was then 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighed 155 pounds, had brown hair, gray eyes and fair com plexion. He was 19 years of age on February II, but his mother states that he could easily pass for 22 years of age.
 Anyone knowing anything about the young man should either address the mother at Tulsa or advise the gover- nor's office at Juneau.

HORSE RACING |S POPULAR IN
 SPAIN

SAN SEBASTIAN. Spain, July 30. - Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Bull fighters and their parti- sans look askance at luxuricas new establishment just completed here, where thoroughbred horses will soon begin racing on a scale hitherto un- known in Spain.
 The race course has all modern i'm prOvements and with grandstands that rival those of LOngchamps and Au- teuil near Paris. Alfonso XIII has not only sanctioned the enterprise, but has given it vogue by acquiring stable of thoroughbreds himself; some of his horses may make their debuts at the meeting which opens July 21. and will continue until October l.
 The more emotional and more con. servative see in the kings encourage ment of horse racing the prelude to a radical step in the undermining of Spain-the enevtual abandonment of the bull fight out of regard for the sentiments of visitors from countries whene it is not looked upon as sport
 Others see in 1t simply timely and contemplating project in the Spanish ef- fort to encourage touring on the pen insula.
 Spain has shown a remarkable burst of energy since the war began, with King Alfonso setting the example. He has accorded special facilities to com panies and capitalists for the building of hotels at favorite points, such as Seville, Cadiz and Algeciras.
 The city of Barcelona is organizing a systematic movement with a view to attracting American visitors to that port of the Mediterranean coast. Fin ancial aid to hotels and other en- cOuragement to promoters of improve ments in coast resorts are to be given, and 1t is intended to do everything possible to create popular winter re- treat on the Spanish coast from where cruises may be made to the Balearic islands.
 The extension of horse racing here tofore absolutely neglected in Spain, is part of this movement and does not at all mean that bull fighting will be superseded by 1t. The national sport will go on as long as there are crowds to witness it, probably. It all depends on what taste the Spaniards develop for the horses.
 The idea is to profit from the para 1ysis of racing in France and Belgium to draw to Spain's great sea resort the big spending owners of the .thoroughbreds and the free livers that follow racing wherever 1t is. A twenty thousand dollar stake for the opening day indicates the earnest ness of the enterprise.
 Among the stables represented are three American owners. W. K. Van derbilt with 30 of the 50 horses he has

RESTRICTS USE UT COFFEE IN
 VIENNA

VIENNA, Aug. 8. - The long dread ed restriction in the use of coffee - which is to Vienna what beer is to Munich - has come at last. bringing with 1t coffee cards entitling each person over four years of age to halt a pound of coffee a week and confis- cation of all the coffee now on hand to prevent hoarding.
 The government order announcing the step contained one saving clause however. It exempts from restriction the supplies needed for restaurants and coffee houses, which means that Vienna will still be able to pursue it's favorite pastime of slipping coffee "black" or brown" on the sidewalks in front of the nuumerable resorts that line every boulevard and street.
 Each coffee store, wholesale and re- tail, has been required to notify the authorities of its exact supply of cof- fee over 100 kilograms (22O pounds)' The excess in each case Is then sub feet to the control of coffee cen tral." which in future will regulate the disposal of the product to the nuh,ic and have charge of all coffee that in future comes into the country
 The coffee cards will be issued by districts and a card in one district cannot be used in another, They are so that the rare per son who does not use coffee cannot mass his or her card on to friend.

Hood, of the British navy. Hood was mid shipman on the Calliope on that oc- casion, as were other youths who have since been more or less conspicuous ly engaged in this war. Some of them besides Hood were Frank Brandt who commanded the Monmouth when she was sunk by the Germans off the coast of Chilli Wilmot s.
