An effort will be made again this year by
the Illinois delegates to have Chicago ad.
mitted to the jurisdiction of the woodmen

distributed around the hotels In large num-
bers last night by the Illinois delegation

The laws OF the society at present do not
permit the admission to the society of MEM
bers who reside in cities having populations
in excess of 100000. The excluded cities
are Chicago. Milwaukee. San Francisco
Pittsburg and st. Louis. However, MEM
bers in these cities who have joined the So
clety elsewhere are privileged to establish
what are known as good-fellowship camps,

THE RATE QUESTION.


The effort of the administration forces to
carry out their readjustment plan. which,
it is said. probably will be successful. will
be one of the most interesting features of
the big convention. The administration
faction wants to increase the insurance
rates on the ground that the death rate of
the order is increasing, and that for this
reason the amount of premiums is not in
proportion to the number of death claims.
The readjustment plan was drawn UP by
Head Consul Northcott. of Illinois. There
is provision in it for the general MEM
bership to have any say whether the rates
shall be readjusted.
The faction opposing reimbursement, Of
which ]. G. Johnson. of Kansas, is the
leader, claims that the rates ought not TO
be readjusted without a referendum vote.
The Johnson delegates from Kansas to the
Head Camp will vote against readjustment
if they are seated. If the other delegates
are seated Kansas. ii is said, will vote with
the administra ton in the rate readjustment.
A number of prominent visiting frate-nal
leaders are in Indianapolis TO watch the
action of the Modern Woodmen convention
on the rate question. Frank NJ. Snyder, SUI

RELIEF FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Head Camp May Appropriate $4,000
for Destitute i'm Western States.

The executive council of the Modern
Woodmen, consisting of Head Consul
Northcott, Head Clerk Halves and Direc-
tors Murphy. Smith. Talbot. Saunders and
Reilly, will ask the Head Camp, conven-
ing Tuesday morning. for an appropriation
of not less than $4,000 for the relief of the
Woodmen flood sufferers in Kansas and
Missouri.
+. A Enright. member of the Wood
men law committee, arrived last evening
from his home in Kansas City, Kan. He
says there are 800 Woodmen homeless and
practically destitute in that city alone.
Saturday evening the Woodmen of Kansas
City, Kan, held a mass meeting and APP
pointed a committee. of which Mr. En-
right is chairman, to ask aid from the
Head Camp.
At the last meeting of the executive
council a similar committee was appointed.
consisting of Maj. c. W. Halves, head
clerk, and Directors Murphy and Saunders.
1t is probable that Chairman Enright will
join his appeal to that TO be presented by
the council. An appropriation OF not less
than $4,000 will be asked for.
