ATLANTIC CRY, Sept. 1e, 1903 -
The chiefs of the great council, Improved
Order of Redmen, met yesterday for the
second days session ofs their meeting.
The California representative notified the
great council that their State had select
ed the grizzly bear as its State totum.
Other selections We're announced to be:
Georgia, a sheaf of wheat; Kentucky
a horse; Colorado, a rocky mountain
sheep; Wisconsin, the badger
South Carolina presented an important
change in the ritual. Under the rules
it was laid over until the session Of
1904.
Today the case against the great coun-
Gil of Pennsylvani% was decided by the
governing body requiring that the per
capita tax be paid. The amount was
then paid and the representatives ad-
mitted.
The point raised that the law levying
the tax of five cents per member for the
orphans fund was not legally presented
was settled by the law committee pre-
senting report recommending that the
law be repassed at the present session.
The objection was regarded as purely
technical, but the law will again be
adopted to prevent any question.
The parade and pow-wow of last night
was a creditable demonstration. About
600. braves belonging to the local tribes
and branches in Camden, Pleasantville,
Hammonton and Egg Harbor City were
in the parade. Fully 200 wore costumes
peculiar to Red Men on the warpath.
Many carried tomahawks and others
brandished scalping knives. Scenes in
Indian life We're well represented by four
floats.
The great council officers and MEM
bers reviewed the parade.
Bushes of more than usual Importance
marked the session held yesterday. 1t
appears that the great council of Penn
sylvania had refused to pay an amount
equal to FIVE cents per capita on its mem-
bership. One year ago the great council
passed law establishing an orphans
guardian fund, and levying per capita
tax of five cents per member each year
to sustain the fund. Pennsylvania placed
itself on record at the time as being
against general fund contributed by the
entire order. When the time came to
pay the tax, the State refused to comply
with the law. The matter of seating the
representatives from that State was
placed before the great council by rul-
ing made by the great incohonee, that as
the State had not paid its tax the creden-
tials would not be received by the ere
dentials committee. Past Great Inco-
honee Thomas x. Donnelly, of PennsyE
vania, entered an objection to the ruling,
claiming his State had not paid all the
tax Legally levied, and asserting that the
law calS,ing each state to pay an addit.
