GENTLY whipped into line and the leaders did not dare
70 risk IT, Nearly all the prominent men In the organ

Beekman, who sent letter. which was read saying
that he was prevented from attending OWING 10
absence from the city. Charles A. Jackson chairman
presided and Charles j. MCGEE and II. W. Hlldebrand
