The grand sovereign lodge, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, today by a vote Of
LAG to SO repealed the amendment to the
constitution adopted at indianapolis in 1901
admitting members OF mixed Indian and
white blood, The debate was spirited and the
amendment was supported in a vigorous
manner by the Indian Territory delegates,
who originally secured its adoption on the
ground that men of high character have
Indian blood in their veins. The delegates
who opposed the amendment, especially
those from the southern jurisdictions. ex-
pressed the fear that II adopted It would
prove the opening wedge which might
eventually result in admitting the negro to
