LIQUOR DEALERS BARRED OUT,
After the reports were read the order of
new business was taken up, and a number of
| resolutions were presented. Among them
was one from G. H. Miller, of Hudson
| County Council of Hoboken. requesting the
| Supreme Council to change the rules Of the
| order SO as to allow liquor dealers and
| saloon keepers to become members. The
| delegates had heard that this resolution
would be presented, and were prepared to
| fight it. When it was put to a vote it was
defeated by an almost unanimous vote. An
| other resolution, changing the rules SO that
| only the councils be notified when assess
ments are due, was also knocked out.
At q quarter past one o'clock a recess was
| declared for lunch.
At half-past two o'clock the delegates re-
| assembled and took up the work of the
| afternoon session. The most important
business was the election of officers. The
| Hudson county delegates worked hard to
| secure a reelection for Grand Regent s.. j.
| Kallmann. and their efforts were crowned
with success. MI. KalImann was electedby
| a LARGE vote. The office is a salaried one,
| the Incumbent receiving $1,000 a wear with
| an additional $500 for a private secretary
and stenographer. He is also allowed 1880
| for travelling expenses and has the privilege
who receives $50.
