CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Reports reach here that
Notwithstanding the Introduction Of the Sover
eign Grand lodge OF Odd Fellows, the Patri-
archial Circle is growing steadily In all parts
OF the country. Efforts on the part Of the
various local lodges to carry out the orders Of
the Grand Lodge by expellIng members OF the
Circle from membership have In the main
proved a~bortive, the motions to expel In the
majority OF cases being quickly disposed Of by
being laid upon the table. Emiuent lawyers
have rendered an opinion that the action OF
the Grand Lodge in changing the qualifca-
tons to membership by resolution was uncon
stitut.onsl, as the constitution expressly pro-
vides that any such proposition shall be laid
over for one year after having been introduced
by three jurisdictions. Meanwhile the adhe-
rants OF the Circle declare that they will not
permit themselves TO be bulldozed out of the
order, and say that the end OF the trouble Is
not yet.
