FREE SONS OF ISRAEL.
Baltimore Chosen as Next Place of
Meeting-The Endowment Question.

CHICAGO, June II. - The second days
session of the convention of the In
dependent Order of Free Sons of Israel was
called to order at 10 O'Clock to-day. 1t be-
ing announced that the committees would
not be ready to report until after noon,
lengthy debate ensued on the question as
to where the next Grand Lodge conven-
tion should be held five years hence. A
vote was taken just prior to the adjourn
ment for lunch, Baltimore being chosen.
AT the afternoon session some sharp words
were used over the report Of the commit
tee on territory, but the minority report
was adopted. The majority report of the
committee on endowment was then brought
before the convention, and debate on this
report continued until Z p. M, when
recess was taken until o'clock. At that
hour the delegates were all in place, anx-
iously awaiting action the endowment,
which is undoubtedly the most important
question demanding legislation. The ma
jority report called for an increase in the
per capita tax per death to cents a
member and the abolition for five years of
the five-dollar assessment which each lodge
pays to the reserve fund. The minority re-
port agrees with the majority as to chang
ing the per capita tax to cents but pro-
poses reduction of So in assessments
leaving the payment to the reserve fund
of only 81 by each lodge. The majority re-
port was adopted after a heated discussion.
