cRoNK PROCEEDS ON HIS TRIP
Members of Omaha Lodge VIII Not
Condemn Their Brother with
oct Proof.

The Cronk- Patterson episode at Council
Bluffs Saturday was discussed among the
members Of the local lodge OF Elks Sunday
and the interest seemed increased from the
fact that all of the friends of the grand
exalted ruler professed to know nothing
Of his whereabouts. From a reliable
source, however II was learned that Mr..
Cronk left Omaha yesterday morning to
attend the opening OF the Elks' home In
Virginia Last night at the Cronk home
IL was said that no one there knew where
he had gone and that nothing had been
heard from him since he disappeared from
the Council Bluffs depot
The general feeling among the members
of the Elks lodge was expressed by past
exalted ruler Of Omaha lodge, who said!
Every member of the lodge, so far as
know will not believe the story told OF
Mr. Cronk until It has been proven, and he
will be given the beneht OF every doubt
We have known him long and we'll and
will certainly have to be convinced abso-
lutely before we will believe anything re-
necting upon his honor, At the same time
should all that is inferred be proven, II
would be a matter outside Of the jurisdic-
ton of the local lodge. While such an
action, proven, would reflect discredit to
some extent upon the order from the high
position that Mr.. Cronk holds, the entire
matter is in the hands of the grand lodge
Any action the local lodge should take
can be appealed TO the higher body and
the local lodge can do nothing which would
in any way interfere with the position Of
Mr. Cronk as the head of the order In the
United States"

sentatives of the trainmen visited the gen.
eral executive committee Of the strikers
this afternoon and requested that permits
sion be granted striking teamsters and

committee turned down the request, al
though, It is said. the strikers concerned
were willing to help out the delegates.
