CLASH AMONG THE "wOODMEN."
Question of Legitimacy OF Reduced
Initiation Fee.

ATLANTA. GA, December 9.-Many
circulars have been sent throughout the
southern jurisdiction OF the Woodmen Of
the World. which comprises seventeen
Southern States from It's headquarters,
in Atlanta. inviting applicants for admis-
sion at the rate Of s. each, with an addi-
tional fee OF 81 to the camp physician.
4 circular from the sovereign head
quarters, az Omaha, is also being sent
broadcast, pronouncing the Atlanta head
quarters offer a spurious dispensatiOn,
and stating that the initiation fee can
not be less than $40. the regular fee
Of the order.
Jonathan b. Frost, provisional head
consul OF the southern jurisdiction, says
he is in possession of Il letter signed by
j. G. Root, Sovereign Commander Of the
order at Omaha, authorizing this special
offer By the Atlanta headquarters. Mr..
Frost says. acting on this communication.
he has. in addition 10 the Offer OF re-
duced rates. offered a prize OF $500 TO the
local managers under him for the one
who sends in the largest number OF ap-
plications.
CONTRADICTORY VIEWS.
There are two camps of the order IN
Atlanta. A. -. Wooley. a commission
merchant, is clerk OF one. In speaking
OF the affair. he said
Il have been notified by the Sovereign
Grand Commander at Omaha that after
the last Of this month the Office OF pro-
ylsional head consul now held by Mr..
Frost, viii be abolished, and that appll-
cations should be sent 10 Omaha direct.
/ have also been notified to inform the
camps that the special offer OF the pro-
vlsional head consul IS not legitimate"
G. S Prior. who IS an official in tho
local camps, said the offer OF Consul
Frost was a legitimate one.
Under the terms Of his contract" he
said, Mr.. Frost can make the entrance
fee any amount he desires. The loss does
not fall on the reserve fund OF the order,
or on the order IN any manner. but on
the agents who are working under Mr..
Frost"
