did her OK on famed barbecue day. John
said that he ought to be driven from
the bench by impeachment, and in gen.
eral denounced the judges action. This
was an eXtraneous effort on Johns part.
and was done on general principles.
There was no discussion of the matter
just at that time. but john thought that
the judge was due another roast, and
so sailed in at him. All the delegates
said it was a mastery effort, caustic,
but true in fact and detail.
On the opening of the morning ses-
sion the usual roll call of delegates was
made to see if any one had any resolu-
tons to offer. Many were offered,
mostly on constitutional questions, and
were referred to the appropriate com.
mittees. As Engineer Nolan, who is
celebrated in A. r. U. annals as the
Great Northern Strike Traitor" said {:
"Resolutions are sprung relating to
everything under the sun from Dan to
Beersheba, and take time to consider"
This remark shows Nolan to be close

After the roll call the body resolved
itself into general committee to sit on
insurance matters. Discussion on this
line was kept up all the rest of the
morning and part of the afternoon. 1t
was decided that the loss of one or both
eyes should entitle man to the whole
face value Of his policy at once. Only
those joining the B. of l.. E. from now
on will he compelled TO take out insur-
ance. those who were already members
before this was made mandatory max.
ing it optional.
During the afternoon much time was
spent in eXemplifying to new members
the private work of the brotherhood.
None but delegates were allowed in the
hall at that time, and strict watch was
kept that no ''peeping Toms" were
about the door. An unfortunate dele
gate who looked bad enough to he a
: reporter was nearly murdered in the
hall, it is said, before he could establish
his Identity and deny that he was
anything half so horrible. Nat Saw
yer was going to land on him
with both feet, Ben Pickrin intended
to ''biff'' him with his brass knuckle
ring, and worst OF all. Maloney thought
CT rolling on him. TO give the un-
fortunate's name would be cruelty to
animals. The pass word for the six
months, beginning July l, was given

THAT no officer in the government or
