TWO SETS OF "SUPREMERS."
Remnant of the Iron Halls Supreme
Sitting Meeting Here Elects officers,
the same-Legal Advice Taken TO oppose
that Supplemental Complaint.

The Indiana polis Iron Hall was in ses-
sion all day yesterday 'cussing" and dis
cussing the affairs of the order. 1t was de-
cided to employ more legal talent in the
conduct OF the litigation which stsres them
Ferd Winter was agreed upon as the per-
son to be employed and has been retained
as counsel for the order.
Both the meeting in this city and the one
in Philadelphia by the Somerby wing Of
the order are claimed TO be held under tho
construction placed upon the decision OF
tho Supreme Court in the receivershIp case
by the attorneys for the order. Both
factions hope 80 again obtain possession
of the funds in the hands of the receiver
and mako an attempt TO resume business.
They look upon the suit filed Tuesday by
the plaintiffs in the original suit for the re-
celver to be in fact suit on the part Of the
receiver to enable him TO retain possession
and wind MP the affairs OF the order. Recog.
nlzing that hard legal fight was on hand
at the very beginning OF tho scheme the
delegates have appointed committee 10
attend to the legal questions arising. and
this committee. of which +. A. Wind is
chairman. has been in consultation several
times with Judge Howe and terd Winter.
just what was SAID in these consultations
is not known. but 1t Is certain that the
new officers will make q strong tight
against the supplemental complaint hled
Tuesday. While there ere two alleged gu
preme Sittings. both claiming to be the
legal one. it will be difficult to obtain the
ear of the court. and 10 Is saiG that over
lures for consolidation of the two factions
have been m de. but just what sort OF
proposition has been made by either faction
to the her cannot be learned.
