Joseph l.. NOrcroSs, Actor, Affiliated
With the Order for Fifty
Years

70 the Philadelphia Lodge of Elhs
belongs tho credit of numbering among
it's membership tho oldest Lli i'm tile
United States almost.
Joseph l.. Norcross, a member of the
Philadelphia u. r. O. T., is claimed ny
many to DO tic grandfather OF all ElhS.
both in point Of age and number Of
years of membership. Norcross has pccn
affiliated with the order for about lltty
years His home is in Springfield, Mass.
He Is an actor, and Is now somewhere on
a tour OF entertainments
When discussion was started az to
who is the oldest living member of the
Ellis, it vas declared that NorcroSS IS
the veteran. This could not be positive
" verified by the Philadelphia Lodge,
but an officer stated today that While
he did not think NorCroSs is the Oldest
Elk, he is not far from having thal
honor.
Reports of the recent death oc r. A.
lisou Brown at eghty-siN, of this city,
marked his demise as the passing OF
tho oldest ELK In the United States, but
claims we're made that there were grN-
cral older members than he, and that
Norcruss Is the king of the veterans.
Like Norcross, Brown was engaged IN
theatrical work. and he was also one

DORSEY DENIES
AIDING PACKERS
Writes Stockmen's Secre-
tary Has Not Obstructed
the Borland Bill.

Vigorous denial OF charges that he
opposed the passage. OF the Borland
bill providing for investigation OF
the packing industry, and that he CO.
operated with the packers in their ef-
forts to hinder the legislation. IS con-
tanned in letter by J. S. Dorsey.
director Of the Panhandle and South
western Stockmen's association, and
received by secretary VIII Amonett
Saturday morning.
Recent press dispatches quoted a
letter read by attorney Heney. who is
prosecuting the case against the pack
ers, in which o. S. Bowman, writing
stated That Dorsey, among others. was
friendly to the cause Of the packers
and at an impending meeting Of the
executive board of the Panhandle and
southwestern StOclmen's association
would do what he could TO advance
the packers case. In his letter TO Mr..
Am0nett. Mr.. Dorsey says:
Says Asked His Assistance.
7 was in Kansas City early in July,
1916, Just before the meeting OF the
executive board at Amarillo, and there
I saw George 8 Hovey. Of the Inter-
state National bank. and o. 8. Bow
man. Of Wilson & Co. They asked me
to introduce 4 resolution at the execu-
tive board meeting. asking congress
to defer action on the Berland bill. I
said at that time that I did not like
10 do II. and later in the day. Hovey
told me that they had wired W. II.
Fuqua. stockman and banker OF
Amarillo. and had asked him 10 work
for them. When I arrived in Amarillo
to attend the meeting. F'uqua showed
me the telegram. 1 told him then that
I did not believe that the board would
take favorable action on it. Whether
Fuqua introduced the matter in COM
mittee / do not know. but I do know
that there was no action taken in the
matter.
Believes in Regulation
"As to my being friendly with the
packers, I am heartily in favor of
some sort of regulation OF the pack
ers. I believe that a halt should be
called on their operations. and that
they should be made to treat cattle
raisers with consideration"
Mr. Amonett, after looking Up the
minutes OF the committee meeting re-
ferred to by both Mr.. Bowman and Mr.
Dorsey, stated that there had been no
action taken on the packers telegram
at the executive board meeting, and
that he was confident that Dorsey had
not brought the matter up, as Bow
mans letter said he would.
Mr.. Amonett has also received a let
ter from rotary T. ". Tomiinson
of the National Livestock association.
in which Mr.. Tomlinson denied divulg-
ing the associations secrets 10 the
packers.
