JUNIOR AMERICAS ,IEcHANICs


Pittsburg. Pa, June 1s.-Today's ses-
sion Of the national council OF the Junior
Order of American Mechanics was the
busiest OF the week.
The report Of the trustees Of the or
phan's home at Tit1in, Ohio, was approv-
CO. and an appropriation Of $500 for
operating expenses of the institution for
the ensuing year was made.
A long discussion followed on a res
olutiol to change the national council!
representation. 1t was finally decided TO
make no change, and the representation
will remain at five delegates from each
s:ate. with one additional delegate for
every thirty thousand members.
In regard to the election Of candidates
to subordinate councils. sweeping
change was authorized. Heretofore,
four black balls rejected a candidate,
but those who cast the rejecting ballots
could be called upon for their reasons
for doing so. This was changed 10 make
three black balls reject candidate and
no reasons can be required. The bal
lots shall be cast in secret, and no one
need known who opposes the candidate
This is aimed to secure higher stand
ard of membership. The rejection OF a
candidate by three or more black balls
cannot be re-considered.
The convention adjourned sine die this
evening. The session is considered gen.
orally as satisfactory, but the increas-

will find many opponents throughout
the order.

The rumor to the effect that D. n.

ing TO the intimate relations existing be-
tween Mr.. Brown and President McKin-
ley the story spread rapidly and was
regarded as very probable by many.
who thought that the president had
quietly remembered his old friend with
out giving the matter out.
An Eagle man called at Mr.. Browns
place but no commission had arrived
there.
Harry Bone. who is reported 20 be the
state candidate for the place. was in
town and there was nothing in his coun-
tenance 20 indicate that he regarded the
ruror with any unconcern II he heard IL.
Mr.. Bone had just returned from To-
peka and from passing the grip and
word along among the fellows who are
supposed to be on the inside" and Har-
rvs face was as a mans who knows OF
a place thai is prepared for him from
time before the beginning
The fact that Mr.. Brown and M Bone
both have good many friends here
lends considerable local interest 10 the
candidacy. How the rumor started is
not known. unless it srrayed from a it,
tie note in the Washington Post of the
18Th to the effect that President McKin-
ley had some personal friends in Kan
sas that he would remember. Some
Kansas papers took the matter up and
speculated on the STORY that Mckinley
had cousin in Wichita who wanted 10
be postmaster. and close personal
friend who wanted TO be assistant dis

that neither Mr.. Mr. Brown nor Mr.
