of the remains.
Mr.. Hoffmeister was defeated last
night for reelection as supreme record
er of the Legion of Honor by G. T. p
White and An entirely new supreme

was the arrest of Otto A. Overlook

highest officer in the order) and leader
of the opposition to the administration.
Mr.. Overlook was arrested while on
his way to the meeting where the cleo
