 red on Number of ASpirants.
HELD FORTH AT ELKS' HALL
Many Prominent Lumbermen Present and Assisted in the Secret Work. Bohemian Feast Followed
 A Pleasant Occasion

The concatentation of the Order of Hoo- Hoo which took place at Elks hall on Sat urday night proved one of the most suc- cessful and pleasant gatherings of the popular order ever held in Alabama.
 The degree of the playful kitten was con- ferred upon a number of aspirants whose induction into the mysteries of the order was the occasion for a general good time.
 The order which is known by it's emblem as the black cat, is composed exclusively of men engaged in the lumber or affiliated trades and the concatenation on Saturday night brought together many of the most prominent lumbermen of the state.
 The ceremonies were conducted by w. II. Huntington of the Sample Lumber com pany, vice president for the northern dis triet of Alabama, assisted by an able corps of officers appointed for the occasion. The candidates, according to a member of the order, were put through nine life and death tests-that being the number of lives credited to the feline tribe, and all who survived were promptly recognized as worthy members of the order.
 After the secret work had been disposed of, Bohemian feast was spread, and a most delicious repast, consisting of cold meats, salads, deecacies and liquid re- treatments, was served
 Among the new members who were taken in were: William Albert Cause of the Sample Lumber company of Rollins; Joseph Christopher Uhl of the Sample Lumber company of Rollins; Emmet Lee Thornton of the Cash Supply company, Mountain Creek; Charles Rutherford Rus sell of the Marbury Lumber company, Bozeman Ernest Leonard Marbury Lum- Der company Bozeman; John Grundy Marbury of the Lathrop-Hatton Lumber company, Riverside; John Townsend Reid of the J.
