Mr.. Moulder, in addition to presenting
the proposition of the Bohemian Club, made
some suggestions as TO what he thought
would be the best course to pursue in rals-
ing funds. He thought that the names of
100 persons could easily be- secured who
would take life membership at 500 each.
He also suggested that many of the mem
bers would be willing to pay one years
dues in advance In order to tide over the
present difficulty.
1t is expected by Friday, when the club
meets again, some defnate plan will have
been put in shape for presentation to the
club relative to its future quarters. The
!. NJ. G. a. rooms and several other eligi-
Bile locations have been offered, and il is
not likely that the newspaper boys will
long remain without a home
